During the last fifteen days of September, 1898, the Democratic machine has done everything it possibly could to procure the nomination of negroes on a-ti-Demorsatic tickets. The machine has "plead with and begged the neeroes to stand for their riehts." That machine hae very same papers and politicians who the last campaign, did all in their boW ln er this State there has been only one instance of vile that can parallel this.

That instance is the editorials and column Articles of the and Observer in malevolently and malignantly charging that the daughter of Sheriff Aldndge.of lico county, whs the victim and paramour of a negro man, with wretched results. This disreputable, lying sheet thus perpetrated a slander on the white women of the State far more foul and villainous, if pos-ible, than anvthing contained in the base editorial of the negro paper; and it is possible that the machine press, or a part of it at least, aided and abetted the JSTexvs an Observer in its immeasurable infamy. The two pap rs the negro paper and the Nexvs and Observer thus appear to be Two of a kind gross, indecent, FOUL-MOUTHED STANDERERS.

Meetings of this kind go on for some time until the woman's infatuation or the man's boldness fering attention to them, and the man is lynched for rape.

An equality of damnable insolence is clearly shown by the two, and they are simply twins in defamation. These parallel cases bring up a reflection. hen the AVttj and Observer uttered its unrestrained and barbarous slander on the white women, why did not the Democratic machine press arise and pour out its vials of wrath and condemnation on that sheet Ah The purposes of the machine could not have been subserved, by such a course. And so it seems that as white man mav, by grac-- of the mai hine! press, go uncondemned and unscathed tor attempting to calumniate and dishonor white women This goes to a point of i refinement to fall in love with them, as is well known to all." The insufferable and infamous slander contained in this utterance is sufficient to madden anybody, but the well-founded suspicion of the main cause and insti- -gation of it is worse. The negro makes ao sort of pretence of belonging the People's Party.

He is officially repudiated and condemned by the Republican party, and the unavoidable conclusion is that he is a' tool and scapegoat of the Democratic machine. And this does not appear to be all.
