A Prominent Colored Iloptibllonn Tells Why He Ktprotn n-Vlctory For the National Ticket In lllq Stato. Tlio Bourbon Sun Declining. WASHINGTON , July r > . [ Special to Tnn HKK.J Among the delegates on their way from the Chicago convention who lingered a few days In Washington was Mr. James H. Harris , of Halolgh , N. C. Mr , Harris is ono of the foremost colored men of the south , and is a recognized loader of the republican party In North Carolina. Ho 1ms been a delegate to nil the national republican con ventions since 13(53 ( , nnd was a dolcgnte-at- largo In every Instance except one. His fa cilities , therefore , for gauging the situation In the Tar-hccl state are second to those of no man in that section of country. I had a talk to-day with Mr. Hfirris about the repub lican outlook In his state , nnd ho is conlldcnt that Harrison nnd Morton will receive the electoral vote of North Carolina. There are many things of Interest iu connection with the history of the republican party in North Carolina which Mr. Harris 1 } familiar with , nnd which ho related to inc. During the course of this conversation as to why the party had not succeeded In some of the gal lant campaigns it has made in North Carolina lina , and why it is going to succeed at the approaching election , Mr , Harris said' : "In 1830 wo succeeded without thorough organization and with all the odds against us In getting control of the lower branch of the legislature , and lacked only six votes in get ting control of the upper house. The legisla ture was more than two-thirds democratic prior to that. The reasons why wo are cor- lain of carrying the state this year , are that the white people In the western- part of the state , who hnvo Heretofore been B.olidifiud on the part of the democracy In "other words allied to the democracy by tl\o \ color line have found out there is nothing in that ; it lias exhausted itself , the democratic party having destroyed , in fnct , local self-govern ment. When the republican party was in power they established and linvo allowed the people to maintain local solf-govcrninunt nnd to elect school committccmciumaglstrutes and county commissioners. The- democratic party when It cumo into power took from the people that right nnd gavp tiQ } .power to tbo legislature to appoint the magistrates , who In turn appointed the countyicommlsslonors. These commissioners also appointed the poll- holders nnd school cominlttccmcn In every thing , thus forming ono of'tho' Jhost abomin able rings known in our section , The white people of tlio west have become disgusted with that system of operation , /which they call 'ring rule , ' In the democratic ranks , ulid they are determined to throw It off. Next election our strongest gains will bo.in the west. "Then In addition the democratic party has promised and pledged itscfl to the repeal of the internal revenue. Slnco thej have got into power they have utterly failed to make an attempt nt this repeal. There is an additional reason. In tlio manufacturing districts capitalists are building factories , and establishing and fos tering now industries in North Carolina , thereby giving employment nnd enhancing wages , and in that way the people are becom ing in favor of a protective system ; that is to say , protection to homo industries and homo labor as against foreign or pauper labor. "Another reason why wo nro stronger in the state : The republicans have not only pledged themselves to the support of the Blair educational bill , but have redeemed that pledge whenever an opportunity has been offered , on the ono hand , while the democratic party has promised to support it on the stump , but lias throttled it in the national house of represen tatives. It will not bo on answer oven in North Carolina for our democrats to say they voted for the repeal of the internal rev enue or voted for the passage of the Blair educational bill , because tlio people know that Mr. Carlisle would be speaker of the house SI representatives , ami they know that lie is a free trader and opposed to the repeal of the internal revenue , nnd every ono of these North Carolina democratic representa tives vonng for Mr. Carlisle for speaker of the house endorses his principles. "Tlio democratic convention held in lialeigh endorsed President Cleveland's administra tion nnd thereby endorsed the fight against the Blair educational bill , for which the people plo will hold them responsible at the noils in November next. The republicans in the south feel that our northern republicans do not fully comprehend our situation in n po litical sense , and tl\ey fail to give us that moral recognition and support in our cam paigns , especially in North Carolina , and I would say in Virginia and West Virginia , that wo are entitled to. 'Jn North Carolina wo have , some as thor ough and devoted white republicans us there are in any state in this union , and thev bare undergone and nro still subjected to trials and dinlcultics to maintain their principles with all the bourbon clement against them that the northern white republicans know nothing of. For n white man to bo a repub lican in the south is to bo ostruci/cd politi cally , socially , and I am sorry to say even 10- ligiously. Our northern white friends seem not to realize these facts. Nevorthelcbs , they nro truo. "From the sources I have mentioned wo will chielly gain votes from the whiles. Of the colored people , they are solidillod as re publicans , although the democrats are now endeavoring to get colored isjfpport for the first time. Their papers are coming out and annealing to the colored people and quot ing Mr. Cleveland as appointing n number of their race to lucrative positions , especially in the District of Columbian ' -Clint will not avail anything. Wo propos6 to canvass the state thoroughly , so that tnoy cannot deceive the colored people ou .that point. Then another thing : Tlio republican party has nominated one of the mostpbpulurgentleuien for governor in the state , O. II. Dockory , ox- meinbcr of congress , d lifelong farmer , who is at the head of the FanneroVslUnnco , which includes n largo portion of the substantial fanners of the stato. Ho Will get tho' sup port of tlio fanners and a largo percentage nf the democratic vote owing to this 'fact. On the other hand the dfrnocratjc p > rtv has nominated Hon. Daniel G. . Farwoll over the head of the Farmers' Alliance can didate , William B. Alexander , and the ifcht was very hot between the lawyers on the ono side in the democratic : convention and tlio farmers througn the Farmers' Alliance with Alexander as their candidate on the other. The democratic convention refused to nominate Alexander , the farmers candi date , and nominated Daniel O. Kunvcll over his head , which not only disgruntled but angered them , The effect of this will bo that many of them will support Farwoll , because - cause ho is a lawyer and a ring man , and n largo number will support Deckery because ho is a farmer , and a largo number will not vote at all. "Another thing ! In all the campaigns that have heretofore been fought in the south , not ho much in North Carolina as in other states , the union men and , the sons of union uiun us a rule have not been elected or ap pointed to any oftlco ofrust \ or prominence. Tlo ) campaigns have been conducted upon tlio confederate Idea. That Is to say , it men woio the shoulder-straps of the confederate service or were the sons of confederate of- Ik'ora ami their special friends they had the preference rand still have the profwouco. The young white mun who have grown up since tlio war with more progressive and American ideas and whoso education and sympathies are inoro In accord with the progressive ideas of the pres ent day have determined to oppoto that Dmothod , and will not support as a rule any man who is nominated on that plan , They will vote with tlio republican party this year , and will not support what they term 'the bourbon and fossil class. ' Nearly all of the congressmen from BUT state and from other southern states are ax-con federate soldiers , uud who have boon the recognized representatives in the national council to the exclusion of the union and union men's sons and tbo Farmers' Alliance , and as I wish to let by.gones bo by-gones I will not mention the methods by which they got their scats , but certainly they secure them by adopting methods repugnant to the American idea of liberty , to say nothing of violence. "As to the character of the con vention which noralratod th candi dates for governor and lieutenant gov crnor , It was r/omposc-d of nt least HO par cent of youn ? wfittp men. Of two-thirds of the entire iiuiuljca ; of delegates representing the nlnety-sti cpunties nearly fouiMUths were white indn. . I mention this fnct to show the Increase , of white support In the state. Wo hart never before had such n convention. The democrats mlti.it th ro has never been su < Jh a convention held by the re publicans. This i-ohvontlon exceeded by far ns to Intclligonto- wealth nny that has been held by the republicans In the state. "Now , ns tq the presidential candidates- I think they are as strong. If not stronger. than any otherwe , could have made. Gen eral Harrison "isi well known to the repub llcans of North Carolina , was spoken of as the most available man before the conven tion , and Ills .lamination will certainly strengthen , preAdy strengthen , the republi can party in North Carolina. Tbo delegates- nt-largo , I being one , were instructed for Mr. Blaino. Out of courtesy to Mr. Sherman , for his long and able service for the party and cspoclally.in defense of the negro race , I voted twice for him , but after having sur veyed the Held thoroughly , nnd seeing there was no possibility of his nomination , when the convention adjourned on Saturday 1 then mndo up uiy mind to give my vote and influence to General Harrison , and am con vinced in so doing I not only represented my constituents , but I served the interests of the republican party. Wo are determined to thoroughly organize the republican party in North Carolina , and make n vigorous cam paign , nndvo are certain that wo will carry the state and cast our electoral vote for Harrison risen and Morton.

Both the picnics announced for yesterda' were a success , financially and othcrwisey and neither one was inai-rcd by the lighting or unseemly conduct that so often spoils the pleasure of those who attend. Those who followed the 1C , of L. to the syndicate park , " flrbt listened to eloquent addresses from Messrs. Edgertou , Van Dusen and Brigham , and then gave themselves up to the pleasures offered in the programme. Dancing and athletic sports filled the bill and at the close M. A. Martin and Mrs , Madeson were awarded first place for walti i ing , with J. Cotovello and Miss' Murphy taking a good second. The Judges were Ben Fincrty , Paul Paulson , Mr. nnd Mrs. Sweouy and Miss Mary Trice. Among the sports the potato race furnished tlio most amusement , and was won by A. 1C. Mullcr , ol the gun club. The foot race was won by J. Anderson , with Officer John Sexton bccond , and the rest of the day was dovotcd to amusement generally. The parishioners of St. Agnes , spent their day in the more hcchiucd spots that MU-- rounded the Syndicate lake , and they too thoroughly enjoyed themselves. First they were treated to elo quent speeches from John Hush and Lawyer Miunehan , nnd then the re mainder of the day was dototod to innocent amusoinents. Interest centered in the prizes for waltzing , which were carried oif by Charlie Conrad and Miss Dora Johnson and Tim Flaherty and Miss Annlo Ryan. The boys said that Tim took the cake , but Rodio Redmond as Judge awaidcd the prizes in tlio above order. Father Moriartv was indefatigable in making tlio picnic what it was a success , and was rewarded by seeing a fair sum cred ited to his now church. The music was fur nished by the Hibernian band of Omaha , and was Just of the kind that they to well know how to play. Hoiv It Was Celebrated. Bright plumes , gay uniforms and neatly dressed school children gave the Streets of South Omatia a genuine holiday aspect yos- to.-day. They unit early in the morning at the old school house grounds on Twenty- bovcnth street , and there formed tlio proces sion that was the feature of the day. Shortly before 10 o'clock they marched up N street , headed by tlio entire police force , who \voro mounted for the occasion , and In charge of Marshal Mt-Crackcii. The Hibernian band came next nnd thru the city council in currirgos. Next followed a tableau on wheels representing the goddess of liberty , and the states ot the union , In which the parts were taken by n number of young ladles from the different schools. The Bohemian cor net band followed them , and in turn was followed by the Knights of Pythias , Odd Fellows , Catholic Knights , Bohemian Turn society , citizens on foot and in car riages , and trade designs from Brewer & Sullivan nnd Claiip nnd Williamson. The procession marched east to Twenty-fourth street and then northward to the different plciiicing grounds. A feature of the parade was the gun club , which time and again fired volleys us they passed the residence of a prominent citizen along the line of march. Police Court. The cells were well filled this morningbut owing to the numerous temptations the Fourth of July always brings , the Judge tem pered bis decisions with mercy. John Dee and Richard Roe wcro too drunk to give their names last night , nnd as they looked respectable they were not asked for them this morning. They pleaded guilty to celebrating , nnd wcro allowed to go , Mike ICoelor was given the same privilege , but Dick Burden paid § J nnd costs , T. T. Crawford $ ) and costs , and Gus Caspar the same amount. Mike Burke not only tried to bout his board bill , but cv- cryono in the boarding house , so ho was as sessed $10 and costs , which ho can't pay. His landlady , who is troubled with heart disease , fainted whllo giving her evidence. Ernest Viol , B. ICrcibs and Fritz Krclbs , chargec. with resisting an officer , will bo hoard this afternoon , us will Pete Hand , charged with disturbing tlio peace. Notes Aliont the City. Receipts of cattle and hogs wcro light to-day , and prices all around were higher. Anton Vancottor sued Frank Vanasok for 823 for board , and Justice Levy gave a docl slon in favor of the plaintiff. Tlio Gate City hotel obtained ? 50 worth of groceries from Ben Levy , and this morning Hen obtained a writ of attachment for the amount. At four o'clock this afternoon the remains of tliu murdered John Ryan were forwarded to his Illinois homo In Pcoria. Mr. John Powers will accompany thorn , A skiff was capsized at tlio lake In Syndicate cato park yesterday and its occupants nar rowly escaped drowning. The city council meets to-night. South Omaha came nearly having n cele bration of an unusual kind yesterday , and wcro it not for the vigilance of the police Frank Otllnccr would have probably found his victim , Jack Ryan , in another world As it was ho was quietly spirited away to tlio county jail at a time when Ryan's friends were scattered over the town ana before they knew ho was dead. When they did know it was too late to make any demon strjlion , but it was a narrow escape for Onincor.
