The publications that Polk county Republicans had elected a negro magistrate has caused the Republi cans some trouble. ' Mr. S. Gallert, of Rutherfordton, recently published that he had dis covered a negro magistrate in Polk County elected two jeans ago by white Republicans in White Oak There were' two white township. Republicans elected in that township the same year. The name of the ne gro is J. J. Mills. Recently he is sued a warrant for Robert Champion, an enthusiastic white Republican, and "he was forced to make affidavit o get the case removed for trial. The Shelby Star remarks that "this looks like negro domination is not confined to eastern North Carolina." A Polk correspondent of the Char lotte Observer says : ""The Republicans had no ticket for justices and tho negroes had an independent county ticket. I make ibis statement in justice to the white men of Polk county. We have very few white men of any party who would vote for a negro for any o Gitjpn." If this is true, why will any white men in Polk county vote to put 00 negro magistrates in oQice in East ern North Carolina ? Isn't it as bad to have negro magistrates in Wil mingqn. New Hanover county, as in Mill Spring, Polk county? Every jvho votes the State I? 4 to it: As we have intimated before one of the strangest phases' of the present campaign is, that if you will search out the reason why the majority of the 'unlettered white Democrats who are opposing the amendment, are do ing so, you will lind they have been prejudiced against it by the oppo nents of the measure, and have been influenced against it by men whose, opinion they would scorn to consider on any other subiect. We heard Tuesday there was a pamphlet being extensively distributed throughout the country districts of the county, purporting to be written by a negro, advising the negroes to vote for the amendment because it would disfran. d the illiterate white man and thus place the educated negro on top. There has not been a campaign since the war but what the Republicans have been seeking to work that dis franchisement bugaboo upon the ne gro. In fact it has been their chief ammunition in nearly every political campaign, and time afttl again have they told tho negro he would be dis franchised if the Democrats got in power. This was the Republican cry before Cleveland was iirst elected ' president, it was worked for all it was worth before the' Democrats re deemed the State. Yet the 'negro was not disfranchised, and instead of being disfranchised the' Democratic administration contributed largely to his future happiness. No a the Republicans are trying to play the same old game pu the illiterate white men of the State, and 'if these white men who. unfortunately for them selves do not understand the ith and 5th sections and are being led astray by these self appointed Republican Populist lawyers wov.ld take the time to examine the opinions of the leading lawyers of the State, who would not dure to mislead the people, they would be convinced the Repub licans and the bolting Populists tire only trying to defeat the amendment by working oh the illiterate white man, the same racket that has been so successfully worked on the negro. To proye the amendment is not un constitutional, nor will it disfran chise any white man, we give below the opinion of one of the leading lawyers of the State, M. V. Lanier, L. L. D., of Oxford, of whom Judge Pearson, a Republican himself and for a number of years Chief Justice of North Carolina, said, "That if there was any more learned lawyer in North Carolina than Mr. Lanier he did not appear before the Su preme Court." Mr. Lanier says : ''The undersigned member of the North Carolina bar, after having examined and considered the provisions of the proposed amendment to the constitution submitted by the legislature of 189'J to the people for ratification, give if as my opinion that the said amendment is not in conflict vriih either the federal constitution or anything in the State constitution in regard to amending tho same. "I further give it as my opiniou that the 4th and ;"Ah sections of said amendment are so connected in subject matter each so clearly' conditional and dependent upon the other, that both must stand or fall together, and that it is too clear to admit of a doubt that the ith section cannot stand if the 5th section should be declared unconstitutional. "It is clear that this amendment, if rati fied, will not. disfranchise either now cr hereafter, any person who was himself en titled to vote tit any time prior lo 1867 either in this State or in any State in (he United States in which he then resided provided he registers once before 11)01) and does not thereafter become disqualified by crime. "M. V. Lakiek " Could nnything be more convin cing:' Can any white man refuse to vote for the amendment because he has been taught by Mr. II. E. Hod ges and men of his calibrp, that it will disfranchise him and the 4t.h section will Le declared unconstitu tional in the face of an opinion like this? We believe not. Gazette-Messenger. DEMOCRATIC PROMISES MADE TO WHITE MEN ONLY. . ANNOUNCEMENT. The statement Las been made and often repeated, that the Democratic party in the last campaign promised not to disfranchise, or in auy way abridge tho right of the ne gro to vote. Pray, to whom did the Democratic party make such a promise ? It certainly did not make itSo the negro, because it did not'ask for tho ne?.ro votes. Ou the contrary, it de tied the negro vole. It said to the negro : "Wo do not expect your vote ; we propose to beat yon with the votes of WHITE MEN", It said to him : 'This is a white man's country, nud while men must and shall rule it." It said to him : "We propose to put an end to uegvo office-holding in North Carolina now and forever." And upon every stump, from the mountains to the seashore, it demanded and promised WHITE SUPREMACY. Under these cir cumstauces, what sense would there have been iu making this cr any other, promise to the negio ? What consideration could it have expected to receive for such a prom ise, and ' what possible inducement was there to make it ? A bare statement of the facts shows that the statement that such a promise was made by the party is both uu trud and absurd. Whatever 'promises the Democratic party made in the last campaign upon the subiect of 'suffrage generally, or upon any other sut j.ct, WERE MADE TO WHITE A1EN AND NOT TO THE NEGRO. And what white man iu all North Caro lina who voted the Deuabcratic ticket iu the last election has said or will say lo that party: "I voted the Democratic ticket, be cause you promised not to limit or abridge the sutfrage of the negro, I demand, there fore, that you keep this promise." In the u.aine of the white men of North Carolina, we protest with indignation against the intimation that any white man in the last election voted tho Democratic ticket because of auy promise mads iu be hoif of negro suffrage. In the laat campaign Iho Democratic party did promise' the white people of North Carolina that no vvhito man should be disfranchised lor lack of education or oh account of his poverty, and it promised the WHITE WOMEN .as well .us the WHITE MEN of North 'Carolina- lhat if it should come into power it would FERMAkEn LLY ESTABLISH W H IT'E fiUPiiEMAOY throughout the btate. It was upon the faith of THESE DOUBLE PROMISES that we won the great and glorious victory of No vember 8th. In the Constitutional amendment which that party has submitted to the people' it has faithfully KEPT THESE PROMISES -EOi'OxE OF THEM BUT BOTH OF THEM. The position of the Democratic party upon this subject is not the result of any convention declarations or ance-cleclion agitation any more than the present atti tude of the United States toward Cuba is the result of a pre-conceivtd plau to turn out pain and appropriate that fair island to ourselves; but it is the inevitable tvo lution of tho situatiau. There is not a sensible man in the State, of any party or race, who does not know that the manifestations and developments of the last days of the caihpaigu forced upon the minds and consciences of the re sponsible elements of our people the con viction that the: good order of society, anel the peace and safety of the Sl.itc, demand ed the elimination of the ignorant and vicious negro vote, and that the amend ment, is in response to this feeling which has become deep rooted in the hearts ab well as in the minds of tho people, Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Was hita, I. T. He writes : 'Tour bottles of Eleciric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, w hich had caused her great suf fering for years. Terrible sores would bveilc out on her head and face, and the best doctors could give no help ; but her cure is complete aud her health is excel lent." This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is the bes-t blood purifier known. It's the supreme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ul cers, boils and running sores. It stimulites liyer, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion builtls up the strength. Only TO cents. Sold by Plymouth Drug Co.
