mics. Therefore it is clear that, when he
said he was "opposed by the organized
Ignorance of the State" that he meant Demo-
Gratis and the Ku Klux 1t could not mean
the League because it contains many schol-
ars. doctors, lawyers and preachers, and is
acknowledged to be warmly in favor of Gen.
GRANT. WALKER said he was opposed only
by the enemies of GRANT. The Democrats
are GRANTS only enemies. Hence it Is clear
that he was opposed by Democrats. He was
opposed by 'organizcd ignorance" The
Ku-Klux is the organized ignorance of the
Democratic party. Who can doubt that
WALKER referred to the Ku-Klux'2 Nobody
who possesses common sense.
Thus it is evident that the STANDARD in
defending the principles of the Republican
party, the party to which WALKER belongs,
has nIoays been in favor of the principles of
the WALKER party, and opposed to its enc
mics. It is proved that the Democrats and
Ku Klux were WALKERS enemies. The
STANDARD has always fought the Democrats
and Ku Klux, as every person in the State
well knows. The STANDARD would still be
fighting Democracy if there were any left
to fight but there is not The Democratic
party is dead, and we are now engaged in
laying its ghost, which, like the ghosts of all
great criminals, wishes to lingcr around
the scenes of its crimes, to the great disgust
of the people. The ghost is about laid and
the people are already relieved. 1t is use
less for the writer in the Sentinel to war
against fate. His party is dead and buried,
and the political grave yawns for him. Let
him die with decency, and rejoice in the
knowledge that in so doing this last action
will be the best of his life In the mean
time the people, relieved from the radical
ism and prescription of the Democracy will,
under the mild and lcnignant rule of the
Republican party, regain that peace and
prosperity SO nearly lost to them forever by
the internal Vaccinations of the Democracy.

bear this inmind Let Republicans all over
the State in every township see that all is
right Let the registration lists be carefully
examined that no Republican vote may be
lost. Do not trust this work to Others, but
let every mau see for himself that all is as it
should be. Now is the time for work !!
Let every Republican buckle on his armor
and work for the success of the Republican
nominees. In those townships which have
hitherto gone Republican let the majority
be doubled. Let those few which have
been carried by the sham Democracy be re-
deemed Republicans, TO WORK! .-

Governor Holden.

The Sentinel has several times asserted
that Governor HOLDEN is President OF the
League. In its yesterdays issue the asser-
tion is reiterated 1t is not true. Governor
HOLDEN is not Grand President of the
League, having resigned that position sew
eral months ago.
The Sentinel also asserts that Governor
HOLDEN advised one Murphy Reeves to "Ku
Klux the Ku Klux" We are authorized by
Governor HOLDEN to state that no such ad-
vice was ever given by him. Indeed, no one
credence to the statement.
No man is more conscientious in the dis
charge of his official duties than Gov. HoI-
DEN, and to advise any illegal action would
be wholly foreign to his nature. Gov. HoL-
DEN in the discharge of his duties makes no
distinction between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. Both are citizens of NORTH CAROLINA,
and as such are entitled to the attention of
Chief Magistrate of the State In proof of
this we will cite case in point. A petition
for the pardon of a certain man was sent to
Gov. HOLDEN by the citizens of Orange
| County. The petition was signed by men
as members of the League. Governor HoL-
DEN returned the petition, accompanied by
the statement that he kneao no political dis
tinctions aO7ile IN the discharge of has official
duties but if petition signed by eiti
seas Of Orange County oittout regard to party
was sent him he would pardon the man.
No better or more dignifed answer was
ever given by any official. This but serves
to show the principle which controls the
Governor and will satisfy every fair-minded
man of the fairness and impartiality Of
| Governor HOLDEN.
| No Governor was ever more accessible to
the people or ever worked harder for their
benefit than does Governor HOLDEN. He is
! ready at all times to attend to the wants of
the people regardless of party, or of station.
If ally difference is made it is in favor of
the poor. The rich man can afford to wait
but the poor mans time is precious, his ex-
penses heavy to bear, and he is always at
tended to first. The people know this and
also know that in Governor HOLDEN they
have true friend.
The Sentinel and kindred papers may con-
tinue to vilify and abuse Governor HOLDEN
but they can never ALLEVIATE the affections of
the people from him. The people love, re-
spcct and trust him, for they know him to be
man of the people and a true friend to
the people. The calumny which is heaped
upon him but arouses the indignation of every
true man, and renders him still dearer to
those in whose cause he is assailed.
