Show ABOUT TI I 1 enec ELEC ayon jeor several days past it has been assorted asserted that large numbers of negroes were were being imported into the state from virginia tennessee south carolina and georgia for the purpose of insuring the success of the republican ticket which seemed to be endangered by the active canvass made on the con erva lve tIve side it has also been charged d that negro boys boya not over sixteen years of age have been registered as voters in many of the districts and th thebe these eke eie reports seem beem to have received some coloring from the discovery of a private letter addressed by a republican regi register ter or committeeman to one of the congressional candidates on that side informing him hat bat eight hundred negroes bad been registered in his bis district the conservatives represent these thebe eight hundred to be mostly fraudulent registrations these suspicions have led to a determination on the side to challenge nil nii votes not hot known to be genuine lne ine under the elec election tion tinn law notifications of challenges are required to be given in advance and the republicans discovering from these notices the intention of the conservatives have accused the latter iatter of an organ oraan organized iza design to prevent proven t the polling of the full negro vote by causing vexatious delay they therefore incite opposition to the challengers and while on one side there appears to be a resolute determination to claim the privileges of the law in preventing the polling of fraudulent votes there is on the other side an evident intention to resist the right of challenge and nud andio to endeavor to poll all the votes voles that are registered ever eve since secretary boutwell made his incendiary appeal to the blacks to refuse to clasp hands across the bloody chasm made by tho the war and aroused their worst passions by persuading them that their white fellow citizens only waited the opportunity to strip them of their civil rights if not to consign them again to slavery the republican canvass bas has beeh been conducted with a view to keeping alive the fears and ha freds thus called into existence the inflammatory speeches of stump orators black and white have kept the negro mind for weeks in a fever of excitement cit ement and at the last moment the secretary of the republican committee addresses the blacic black voters in the following dangerous circular democrats and so called liberals are desperate they are conscious that de feat stares them in the face consequently fifteen or twenty thieves penitentiary tent iary convicts detectives ballot box stuffers men of the blackest black blaek est and most moat damnable character have been sent to thib this state fa ton fon rtha tah pu purpose raposo of intimidating voters stumm Bluff mug lug ballot boxes des dea the registration lists stealing ardd awid destroying registration books lastly to captiously and without warrant of law challenge a butil sulli sufficient clent number of registered voters to delay voting on election day and thus prevent republicans from voting reliable information enables me to say that a syl syi stems stema lo ic attempt is a on foot to captiously and challenge R ab lican voters in buch sueh numbers as will prevent ut hundreds from voting this is a dying attempt of the democrats to carry north carolina carollus these men are convinced that a free and fair election will result in a glorious republican triumph hence frau fraul 1 intimidation dishonest and dishon dishonorable orabie brable means inears ar are aro to be used to prevent republicans 1 voting and in this way thwart the will of the people and lutro introduce duc the infamous practices of the tammany democracy of new york city into elections in this state evidence of villainy is mountain high be detected and defeated I 1 call upon every man especially Republicans who reads this paper before the election ia its over to see to it that every legal registered voter exercises his right of suffrage call upon the poll poli holders and judges of election to disregard captious challengers watch the tho polls take down the names of witnesses to every effort at intimidation and captious challenging len ien le to be used hereafter we have no hesitation in pronouncing this the most reprehensible appeal ever made by a political organization to the passions of the electors on the eve of an election it would be dangerous if addressed to white men it Is ia doubly dangerous when poured into the ears of credulous neg negroes roes the right of challenge is given by the election law it hag hns been held to be the best protection of the republican against democratic frauds fraude the republicans framed and passed the lawand law and hence it Is their own provision the idea or of captious captions challenges ia absurd when the republicans have in their hands bands all the machinery of the election and can dispose of any untenable challenges in a legal manner with dispatch the meaning of the secretary of Republican the committee and the negroes neg roea with all their ignorance understand him clearly is to incite forcible opposition to any challenging that may be attempted should his hib appeal be heeded and should conservatives serva tives be deterred from chall eng eDg ing by negro violence or by the threat held out in the Secre Secretary 8 circular of future prosecutions under the arbitrary bayonet law jaw any fraudulent votes that may be regist registered erid to any number may be polled without hindrance should the challengers insist on their clear rights under the republican election law and refuse to yield to open violence or covert threats a col ision may at any moment occur between the opposing parties part lea iea then would come the rule of tile the federal musket and the united states marshal and the freedom of election would ba b destroyed it is possible that the republican politicians may design such a result it Is to be hoped that the conservatives and the better pr portion tIon of the republicans public ans will use their best efforts to avert tha th calamity of an sin election riot rt it is just to say that the addresses or of senator schurz and others on the conservative serva tive side bide have been in marked contrast ast aBt to the incendiary
