KEEP IT REFORE The PEOPLE
Keep ii Bsfote fhe people, tha. Charles Manly was
Federalist during the last war with Great Britain.
and denounced that war and the Administration Of
James Madison. He does not deny this. but admit
led, we learn at Wentworth, that he had been call
ed on to stand draft, but told the officer he would
not attend. He says he wac but fourteen years Of
age when the war begun. This is his excuse. He
IS pleads infancy.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly ap-
pealed to the fears and pockets of the people, two
years since. by telling them of the horrors of war
which he desired to make them believe unjust; and
by predicting that the war would cost serenty.fuc
dollars in direct taxes, to each man in the State
There's prophet for you Has any citizen paid his
seventy-fve dollars yet!
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly op-
posed and denounced Equal Suffrage two years
since that he and his parlizans pronounced it
put power in the hands of poor to
legisate the rich out Of their property that he called
it scheme designed and calculated to level society,
destroy the rights Of the land holders, and to a
feet fatally the repose, welfare, and happiness Of the
State; but that now, finding Equal Suffrage popular,
and being desirous above all things of keeping his
place as Governor two years longer, HE DENIES
THAT HE EVER OPPOSED 1T, and pretends
to take strong grounds in its favor!
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly and
his partizans, two years since, denounced Equal
Suffrage blow struck at the black basis Of rep
resentation in the Commons, though they we'll knew
there was no connection whatever between the two
propostons that he endeavored to alarm the people
in this way, and declared his opposition to BOTH pro-
pos,ions and that now-being fully aware Of the
{" fratSicidal strje' which such proposition is cal
culated to produce, but determined to secure his eec
ton, if possible, by all means-he has gone West,
where there are but few negroes, and taken ground
in the most unequivocal manner, IN FAVOR OF ABoL-
IsHINs THIS BLACK BASIS IN OUR REPRESENTATION.
The very measure he opposed and deprecated two
years since, and which he falsely charged to be a
part of Equal Suffrage, HE NOW COMES OUT
FOR AND ADVOCATES, hoping thereby to re-
trieve his fallen fortunes in the Western countless and
thus demagcgue himself second time into the Office
of Governor! What say the people of the East to
this? How will such conduct be regarded by the
high-minded and honest people of the West! Are
they willing to entrust their interests to the keeping
of this demagogue, who has repeatedly deceived
them heretofore, and who only pretends to be with
Will they consent, a. Charles Manly's request, to
take snap judgment their felow-citizens Of the
middle and East!
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly
never held Office at the hands of the people in hs
life until he elected Governor by the force of
party drill that he disastrously beaten in the
County Of his residence for the State Senate though
he appealed most humbly to the people to elect him
that he has been literally shingled with Offices,
for years, by Banks corporations, and the like and
that he has depended mainly for living on the pro-
ceeds Of those oices that he received smaller votes,
two years since, in his native county, Chatham, and
his adopted county, Wake, than had ever been given
to any other Wing nominee; that he is inseparably
associated and banded with the Central Wing Clique,
who have ruled the State and divided the Offices
among themselves for years; that his nomination for
second term was forced out of the Wing Conven-
tion BY party appliances and party dri and 'cas not
unanimously made; that deeper dissatisfaction exists
with his administration of State affairs, than ever ex-
stod before against any Governor; that the Ruther-
fordton Banner, leading Whg paper, has denounced
him as politician not to be safely trusted-as a
tool Of miserable faction in the Wing ranks
as having trifed with and trampled under foot the
rights and interests of large portion of the West;
and that the paper, backed it declares it is
by the people of its section refuses to support him,
and goes for D.7IID s. REID, the Peoples Can
didate.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly said,
in the late Whig Convention in this place, that ' if
there had been found among the people of Old Sodom,
in the day of their visitation, seven such men as the
Wings Of the Centre, verify that old LOCOFOCO
TOWN would not have been destroyed ''-,hus pro-
claiming his ovn righteousness of the Wings
of the Cen,re-thus triaing with the words of Holy
Writ-thus insulting, grossly and inexcusably, the
entire Democratic party Of the State!
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly is
the candidate of IS Clique" which has ruled the
State for years that this " Clique -instead of de-
voting its energies State affairs, and laboring to
stimulate enterprise and industry among the people,
and develope our resources-has been constantly en-
gagged in Federal politics. has been ashng the public
mind, every two years, into tempest of excitement
for its advantage, and has been looking year by
year to Washington City for promotion and partizan
rewards. Such " "concern,'' animated and governed
by such purposes, is unworthy of popular regard or
confidence, and ought to be put down. 1t ,viN be
put down, if the people are true to Themselves.
Keep it before the people, that Charles Manly, in
1884, deliberately charged the people Of Edgecombe,
in printed secret" Circular, with the intention to
" cast thousand uotes beyond their real strength -thus
insulting honest, enlightened, and patriotic Coun
ty without cause and without excuse and thus leav-
ing it to be inferred, where Edgecombe is not known,
that her people reckless, unprincpled, and Civ
en- to open and notorious frauds, at the ballot-box
He has never apologized to Edgecombe for this
