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 « , , e cause for which we struggle. cl Jims that t -• renubllcaD candidates wl.l I l, v, at plur.G’iy.
