LIT THESE FAcTs BE KNOWN!

LET THESE FACTS BE KNoWN'
We call upon the people Of the middle and East,
again and again, to bear in mind that Gov. Manly.
who s demagagueing in the West for reelection,
has taken and endeavors to maintain on the stump
the following positions
I. He has declared himself IN FAVOR OF A.
BOLISHING FEDERAL POPULATION AS A
BASIS OF REPRESENTATION IN OUR
STATE LEGISLATURE! His partisans charged
Col. Reid with being in favor of this two years
since, and they and Gov. Manly denounced and
opposed Equal Suffrage mainly on the ground, as
they alleged, that 1t would lead to change III the
basis Of representation. They spoke Of the great
danger Of such proposition and warned the peo-
pie against it. Nos0 Gov. ManIy Is tr it! WE
KNOW THE FACT TO BE so, and Gov. Manly
will not deny it.
9. Two years ago Gov. Manly was SILENT Dh;'e
the East, about Col Reid's vote. in ls40 to divide
the School money according to federal population
but ,Ohen he got Iress he used this charge against
Col. Reid in the most violent and decided manner.
Gov Manly and his par.izans know that the greater
part of this fund was raised according 10 federal
population; that If called upon to pay it back the
negroes 40 we'll as the whites and the lands, will
have to be taxed in order to raise the money that
this law has since been repealed and re-enacted by
rFhg Legislatures, many Of his friends and present
supporters voting for the federal population principle,
AZ Col. Reid did. The Convention which nominat-
ed Gov. Manly for reelection silent on this ques-
ton, and in Gov. Nfanly's Speech before that body,
intended for the suho State. he says nothing about it.
He is now daily denouncng Col. Reid for this vote,
and bswailing the condition of the " poor bareoot
boys" Of the West, who have been deprived, az he
says of their just rights in this Fund for the benefit
of the wealthy s1arehoding Counties of the East"
3. Gov. Manly denied, a. Jefferson, that he
Roman Catholic! Who charged him with it! But
after denying this he attempted in the next breath to
array the Churches against Cok Reid, by denouncng
his vote against the Wake Forest loan.
4. Gov. Manly charges that Col. Reid voted, while
in the Legislature, to whip and sell poor white men,
The charge is untrue. Col. Reid voted, in company
with Wings, and, among others, ,riM James 7. More
head, DR.. Withers, Of Stokes. and Mr.. MITCHELL Of
Wilkes, against repeating the law to punish va
grants-the same law which, in principle, Mr.. Manly
approved in 1910 as a member Of the Wing Central
Committee! Let the fact be known that Charles
Manly assumes. by this charge Of his, that the poor
white men of the State ioafers and ragrants."
5. Gov. Manly is daily charging in the West that
Col. Reid, while in the Legislature, voted nearly
all occasions wi The East and against the West; and
he tells the Western people that there prejudces
against him in the East, because he in favor Of
the Convention Of 1885, by which the West lost
power! Let the East remember this.
6. Gov. Manly declares himself unqualifedly in
favor Of the immediate admission Of California, with
the anti-slavery proviso in her Constitution; and
takes the ground that the Constitution makes her
admission imperative. Col. Reid, in reply, takes the
ground that Congress is not bound to admit Califor-
mia; that the Constitution provides that new States
"mny" be admitted that the admission OF Califor-
MIA is question for the discretion of Congress-; and
that she may be kept out for all time, and ought to
be kept out, until TIE free States do justice the
Slarery question.
7. Col. Reid has always been opposed to disturb
ing the basis Of representation; and the amendment
of the Constitution he asks is, that every man who
votes in the Commons may be allowed to vote in the
Senate also. This is his position. See his address
TO the people Of the State, for proof OF these facts.
8. Gov. Manly is the first Governor Of North Car
olina who has attempted to ARRAY THE
WEST AGAINST THE EAsT-the first Cover
who has brought the Churches into the vor-
of political discussions, and sought to re-elect
himself by sectarian arguments and sectarian sp-
peals.
Let the people know these facts-spread them far
and wide. Let THE STATE hear them and let
the people, every where, vote understandingly and
with their eyes wide open.
