"NO PORTION OF THE, PEOPLE ' gHALL'BE BUBJECT TO NE- j GRO DOMINATION." r j Hon. Garland 8.. Ferguson of Waynesvllle delivered an address of ' great Interest before the Zeb , Vance Democratic club last evening. The meeting was presided over by ; Vlee ; president J. W. Summers ot the club, , ho presented Mr. Ferguson as a man ho bad been tried in the harness and wbo many a time had borne the ban? ner victory tor Democracy. ., j ; Mr. Ferguson said In beginning his remarks: . . "I always ' feel at home with an audience In Buncombe county, and In tact anywhere else In Vetern North Carolina. It I am on , the stand I teel sure that I have a sympathetic audience, and It I am In the audience I teel sure that I will be instructed and benefitted by the speak er. I have taken a more or less aci , tlve part In every campaign In North '.Carolina since 1866. At no time since ' '65 have there been, such Important la ; sues presented to the people as are . proposed this year. Upon their de termination depends' the peace, welfare and prosperity ot the state." ) a;' I . Mr. Ferguson traced the history of the negro, and showed how Incapable of exercising . the dutlea- of cltlsenship be was. Although the, negro came from the richest continent in the world, it was a continent without civilisation. The life ot the negro in this country bad not been such as to teach him how to exercise the franchise. His history since '67 shows that he has voted as a body and without intelligence. . It is not in keeping with the traditions of our race that We should be dominated by an inferior raoej The leaders : in opposition to the amendment, the two senators and the governor, are the ones who have profited most by the -negro vote.! They are afraid1 that i If' 1 they lose this Ignorant vote they will lose their Influence. I aA vUHir ...;. j Mr. Ferguson said . the amendment was Intended to prevent an lgnoraat foreign vote as much as an Ignorant ne- f o vote. ' North Carolina is becoming great ' manufacturing ; and, mining state, and there Is apt to be in the next few years a great accession, ot UUter-" ate foreigners who. do not understand the principles of oui" government.' Vi ; A great . objection the Republicans have to the amendment la that it wUl require white boys to read and .write before 1968-,, Within , that time) , Mr. Ferguson said, there would be three months of school .every year, making, two solid -years -of school. If a boy could not learn to read and write be fore that time, he ought not to be al lotted to vote, because he would be an , idiot. If he could learn," but 'wouldn't , he was too trifling to deserve to Vote. as to trie payment or tne pou tax as a prerequisite to voting, he said that this tax went to the support' of the echools, and If any man was unwilling to contribute this small amount to the support of education, he ought to yield , the control ot the government to some ( one that does pay his share. Mr. .Ferguson closed his remarks with an appeal to his hearers to do their duty in the coming election. 'Let us say,", he said, "that as long as North Carolina exists, no portion ot the people shall be subject to negro domi nation.' 'f ,.,-f ,i , ',-. j . At the conclusion of Mr. Ferguson' address there were calls for Hon. Kope Ellas, to which Mr. Ellas responded with a very forcible and humorous speech, which held the crowd to the end. Mr. Ellas made a very strong point in favor of the amendment . by quoting Roscoe Conkling, the great Republican leader, who In a speech be fore the Supreme court or the United States, at a time when he was the on ly surviving member ot the commis sion that framed the 14th amendment. declared that It was a mistake to give the suffrage to the negro, and that the southern people should be allowed to govern themselves.. A . , characteristic f Mr. Ellas' remarks was the fairness with which he spoke of his opponents. To Senator Pritchard he paid a high tribute and declared that the Demo crats were following in-hls steps in ad vocating the amendment, because , In 18SS he advocated .white . supremacy by the establishment of llJy-wWte Repub lican organizations., i ',,,"- s ' . .
