there are straight party tickets only.
The national issue agitated hero was on

Neither side discussed tin' tariff, curren

Kansas Voters Not Interested.
Topeka, K:i ; , November s.—The cam
paign in Kansas has been re.markable for
the earnest work of the leaders and the
apathy of the voters, particularly in the
country districts. There are four tickets
in the field, the. populist, (I'us on) led by
Governor I.eedy; the republican, prohibi
tion and socialist labor.
The populists have made a strong feat
ure of the record of their state otlieers;
the republicans, while answering this, h ive
featur. d the record of President M Kin
ley. As the plurality for Leedy was but
slightly above 7,000, the margin for specula
tion on the result Is very slight. All but
one of the eight congressional districts

: APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE TO THROW OFF THE : :
°° YOKE THE NEGROES PLACED ON THEIR NECKS •
©
O
• Raleigh, N. C„ November 3.—(Special.)—Democratic State Chairman Shnmons today Issued a stir- «
® ring 1 address to the people of North Carolina. In it ne says.
o “The most memorable campaign ever waged in North Carolina is approaching its end. The issues •
• which have overshadowed nil others are honest and economical state government and white suprema- •»
c cy. These issues were not planned and inaugurated by parties or conventions, but were evolved out of■»
® the extraordinary conditions of the situation. Strenuous efforts have been made by the fusionist lead- «
w ers to divert the attention of the people from them and to throw the campaign into other channels, but •
«
® all have proved impotent.
• “The horrible condition of affairs ir. the eastern counties and the progress there of negro domina- »
• tion over white communities raised the question of whether in any part of North Carolina men of An- •>
» glo-Saxon blood should be subjjected to the rule and mastery of the negro, and this issue bv.rne ’ itself »
• into the hearts of the people and kindled a fire of indignation, which cannot be smothered by executive ®
u proclamation or by the threat of federal bayonets.
t> “The evidence disclosing the actual condition of affairs shows that there are a negro congressman, •
e negro solicitors, negro revenue officers, negro collectors of customs, negroes in charge of white institu- o
« tions, negroes in charge of white schools, negroes holding inquests over the white dead, negroes con- o
o trolling the finances of great cities, negroes in control of the sanitation an i police of cities, negro con
o stables arresting white women and white men, negro magistrates trying white women and white men, »
o white convicts chained to negro convicts and forced to social equality with them.
e “Men of less determination and less desperation than the leaders of fusion in North Carolina »
<» wool I have quietly submitted to the- inexorable decree of the white rare, but they did not. One com.se ®
• was left them. With a strange fatality they seized upon it. If white men would not quietly submrt •
o to negro domination they determined to force them to submit. The arm of the federal government •
e was invoked for this purpose. Armed troops were asked to be sent hera to force the white people of tho ®
o state, nt the point of the bayonet, to submit to the continuance of con itions which to the Anglo-Saxon «
o
> are worse than death.
o “The last hone of the fusion leaders is a largo corruption fund they have extorted from Mark Han- o
« na under the assurances that if they could not carry the state for fusion this year It will be easier to •
o carry it for McKinley in 1900.
« “With this corruption fund they still hope to save something from tho v. reck. They hope to import o
® negroes from the north and south of us, buy votes, procure fraudulent and illegal voting and other- o
o vise obtain enough votes to control one branch of the legislature, an.l thus bloca the efforts or the o
o white people to reverse the horrible conditions of the past two years. This hope will also prove delu- »
o sive. If their corruption fund were ten fold as large as it is, they could not bribe the sturdy man- ®
o hood of North Caiolina to longer submit to negro domination. •
o “The battle has been fought; the victory is within cur reach. North Carolina is a white man’s state •
o anl white men will rule it, and they will crush the party of negro dommation beneath a majority °
o so overwhelming that no other party will ever again dare attempt to establish negro rule here.
U -They cannot intimidate us; they cannot buy us, and they shall not cheat us out of tho fruits of »
o
to our victory.
a -It has been a great fight. The issues involved are pregnant with momentous consequences to o
c the people and the state. In view cf the present terrible'crisis, in view of the incalculable consequences ®
c to follow us to oil- children from failure to redeem f state from the rule - tho men who have de- ®
c bauched ana es; .nod it, 1 feei justified in appec.nng. to all good men to ciese their places of bust- •
© ness on the day of election and give that day. exclusively, earnestly, solemnly to the state and the great «
, ,

Special Inquiry was made, at headquarters
ut tho three i...lltimil !■. rties today for tho

says:
We Will have the legislature by a good

of Hie house, and tnirty-four out of

1.2(,V majority.

there is an even < hance of twenty-five more

senators, atiu that, tin fusion ticket will be

bly loji.e majority. 1 think the election will
pass off quietly. Populist Manager Ayer
We will e.irry ill the dl triets. I think

what happens, .m congress wi.l decide
Hutt We ait iiitilled to rile rest. Foun

a chance tb win in tiie seventli by 1,200

I have information that the repub--

make an attempt to practice them on
election day. They had as well under
stand, and It is intended they should
understand, that the white people of
North Carolina will not permit them

Washington, November s.—The following
address was presented to the president to
day by' a committee:
To the I’resident of the United States:
At a meeting ot tiie citizens of many'
portions of me Un.led States, held un
der tne au. pices of tiie- Lyceum of the
Second Baptist eiiureh, Wasnington,
D. C., on Tuesday evening, the first in
stant, a committee, was appuimed to
pres nt to y >u tile si uation in th" si ite
ot North Carol.mi, and to ask you to
exercise your g"<id otiiet s to preserve
the peace and to malm.tin constitution
al goV’-rnmi nt in ail portions of our
common country.
Me do not come to you as politicians,
seeking some part.san end, nor simply
as colored men aroused by the passions
of the hour, but, sir, wt: come as econ
omists, as students of bistcry arid the
science oi government, as patriots zeal
ous of our country 's wehare and Ameri
can citizens and to ask you, tne chief
of tlis great nation and eommnnder
in-chief of tho land and njva.i forcu-x
to exercise all constitutional i ower in'
you vested to nr.met every American
citizen in the enjoyment of uis constitu
tional rights.
The present situation in the state of
North Carolina is but an act In the se
ries of the reign of terror inaugurated
in file year of 1873, to wrest from the
legitimate electors the state govern
ments In certain sections of the country
and to nullify tho recent amendment
to tho constitution of the Uniled States
by resorting first to moly violence ami
then to subterfuge in order to deprive
citizens of their right to vote and to
hold office.
The lawless reign was first imiugur
oted step by step -vlif-'h worked its way
eastward and north ward, until it now
borders on the state of Virginia, will
soon overshadow the national capital
and ere long the late slave-holder will
cill his slaves at the base of Hunker
