J The Chathao Observer. V. M. MOORE, Editor and Prop. 1 SUBSCRIPTION RATES: neYear, - - - One Itollar. iix Months, - - FXtj Cents. 1 1 Advertising: fates reasonable, and. mad known on application. Yesterday tru the last day for raying poll tales. If any one's Urea are not paid it is the fault Sheriff Johnson and. the fusion ists. We tried to get to fee the book outa notify all And io sirramre to aet every white man t pay regardless of polity, bat Johnson, through the advice of ILHLxoa and the fusion lead exrf refused to let his books be seen. The pull tax of all that we could find out have been arranged, so if there are any that are . un paid it is the fault of the fusion 1st who hare been pretending to be the friends of the poor white ,taan hopingjfcokeep himfrom know -- rich! so that he could not jbi urged to pay his taxes. They nay bide the books now, but they will be seen next fall or the. people will sweep the court house ring from power and put in a set -who will let poor men be urged 4a payand be helped if necessary, necessary. - The Democrats have done ev ry thing within their power to see that every white man's taxes y were paid, (while the f usioulsts f have been hiding the books U ; keep them from being paid. Let's see the books. Some kind of a Republican , meeting was held here last Fri day. Most of the fusion bosses r re here. We hear that they decided to put ud the following ticket: John Taylor for Sheriff, W. O. Farrell for Register, Joe Goodwin for Clerk and Claud Pearson for Legislature. It is said that R. H. Dixon, the Popu list chairman, who went to Greensboro to sell the remainder of his party to the Republicans, counselled them to keep some candidates in the field so as to fool the voters and not let them know that the court house ring named the ticket. We hear that Sheriff Johnson promised to abide by Jthe decision of the boss es and that be was rather shy ,tht evening, which goes f prove j that all was not as lovely as the Sheriff would have it. It Is said that J. W. Atwater is seeking to be placed on the Republican ticket this year for Congress. .We learn that he an n lunced his candidacy at Bynam sometime ago." lie has been ev erythlng,' Republican, Populist, Democrat and independent, so it will not be much trouble for him ti change. The plan .seems to . . ' be for the Republicans not to put up any one and let Atwater bo placed oa their ticket as he was on the Democatic ticket two years ago. It only remains to be peso whether the Republicans wm give mm tiitir supjiort or pot It is safe to say that a great many of them will not, but wheth jr iney ao or don t t'ou wm. go back to Congress again. .

Fo, Our Regular rorre5ond'ent HAshingtpn, April 2, The past week in the Senate has been charaoterid by a scathing arrange uiit of the .Re publican policy iu thePlullip pine Islands, During the ma jor portion of three sessions Sen ator Rawlins of Utah delivered a speech wnich set forth the aims and intention of the ad ministration, and pointed out how the franchises .and special concessions oi tne islands were to be farmed out to the adminis tration favorites at the expense of the KUipino people, On Fri day and Saturday Senator Car mack delivered a brilliant address especially note worthy for its de monsti ation of thd inconsistency of the President in condemning those who-have fdef ended the rights of the Filipinos and its denunciation of Brig. General Funstou whom he describes as the "most valient captain that ever marshalled a dictionary to battle array, the mightiest Sam son that ever wieldod the jawbone of an ass aa a weiiwn of - war. Tae unqualified condemnation and the accompanying bitter sar casm of the Tennessee Senator produced their effect on his op ponents and there are prospects that Senator Lodge s edict "Let the Democrat doall the talking" will be defied and that those sen ators who will be compiled to go before their constituents for re-election will insist on making some reply to the charges which j have been made against their spir i t of just ice and A me r icanis ni . To a'most entire support of the J democratic position, has been the j testimony recently taken before a scene of old outrages, and that the policy of the administration has been to suppress facts tiuually laugumented evi has been presented of the me the "water cure" and othepaortns of torture and oppressyra, in abso lute violation of all the tenets of civilized and tightened nation. Opinion Intlie Senate is still . lirtl ?videi greatly devided as to t he outcome of the Cuban reciprocity bill. It is now certain that a straight reciorojitv will be reported and. as far as I can learn, the demo crats will try to arnud it as waH done in the House. That they will ne successiul is possible as they are likely to have tho sup port of the beet sugar senators and if they do so it will 'probab Fy kill the bill on tits final pas sage. "Hie present indications are that the republican senators will be satis&ed il tliey can se cure-the -passage of-a straight bill in the seuaie and will permit ittodioin conference with little rtgrct. "The republicans vill shed few tears over the death of the bill in conference, " was the reply of a democratic senator who is iu a position to kdow , when questioned him on the subject Saturday. The House of Representatives during the past week has passed the Military Academy bill and has returned to conference the Chinese exclusion . and Ole mar geriue bills. It uls attempted to .nake a record on Friday by passing 145 jension bills in a few hours. Tho Agriculture appro priation bill is pow under discus . ... . . , i i sion. louay a siecii ruin wu be reported for the consideration of tho Omnibus Public Uuilding bill whic will bo taken up to mof VowTjirbill ttuthoriwM the extenditure of public fuuds I.i all but two slates and carries a total apppropriation "of ,ir.IK.0, 000. Any anxiety w-hich. may have bf en Mt curlier in the he- sion as to the supiusin the treas ury1 s rapidly disappearihg a this, promises to be a billion and a half dollar Congress. ..The constant recurranoe of rumors of Senator Hasina's aspi rations for the next presidential nomination, notwithstanding the Senator's gentle denials, render his political methods particular , ly interesting at this time. Ap parently the Senator from Ohio is particular proud of his reputa tion for "standing by his friends . 'standing by friends under fire"; I believe it used to be called in the time of President Grant Two conspicuous examples- have re cently attracted public attention one; the case of Rathbone, the Cuban postal-fund, embexaler, who was found guilty and sentenced to a long term of i m prisonmeat Senator Hanna has made the most strenuous efforts in Rath bone's behalf and has Anally se cured his release on bail " Mr Hanna even goes so far as to cast reflection on Gen. Wood in his efforts W influence public opin- in favoi of his 'friend." As a candidate for President the Sen- a tor's course will doubtless stand him in good stead with a certain element of his party. Another instance of this same admirable trait has recently wiifi to light in the case of one Harrison Wag ner, whose military record Sena tor Hanna introduced a bill to correct. The House committee which investigated thecise found that numerous forgeries, includ ing a Senae bill and -a Senate re port, had been filed by Mr. Wag ner but doubtle&s Mr. Hanna will stand by him and it is doubt ful if he will ever be prosecuted. Republican Bridges. Mn. Editor? The Chatham Citizen has yhad so man y things to say abuki the ffa"j management of the com. when we had aDeiu fatic board hke for him to take a trip oviirto Fw.nugto;i( Mill and look at his Repi;blican bridg and j and thejtciriiis readers hatj. he things abtut the management of the county in the hands of his illiest of the holly crowd. Leii lim investigate and see for him self just how it was done. He need not ask, ...a Democrat, just ask good honest-men like J. F. Council and CU Williams about it and let him ask any white man in the township, Democrat or Re publican if they cousider it a de cent job and then tell his readttrs what he has learned about the way that his gixnl and perfect' btard of commissioners' manage the county affairs, t hira tell them that it was a secret con tract and that it was secretly re ccieved for the county. Hie peo ple here have been liefore the board and asked and plead with them to have something done to the abuttments, and liave written Mr. Trylor personally to have it attended to but to no avail, and several liorses have slip))ed and fallen at the abuttment. It Is so steep that it is just imoRsible for then to stand. Now if tlie editor of the Citizen will come down here "and investigate the matter and then don't change his tune and give the men hot modi cinV I will think that ho falls short of honesty in politics, ilf you will give us such men' as II.
