instead of the Democratic party? Ii you
vote for them they will never love you, nor
honor YOU. Why he afraid Of the Republic
can partyg 1t is the right party, and the
NEGROES will never hurt you. They nave
behaved well and have sent their children
to school since the war, twice as much as
the whites, notwithstanding the poor and
penniless condition they have been IN.
The Republicans have made no nomina-
ton vet We hope there is a chance Tor
good conservative Republican. While every
thing here is trembling in the balance there
is Il chance to build up good, strong, ana
healthy conservative party.
We think it justice to our fellow men to
call it conservative rcpublicanism, because
there are two extremes here in this county.
and neither one has anything like the pop
uar sentiments of the people. The people
of this county are not extremists. We want
to build up party here purely republican
We cannot look upon the war spirit wing
of the Democracy with the least degree OF
allowance, nor can we look upon extremes
on the other end of the political wings.
The time has come now when statesmen
and patriots must look to the interest and
welfare of their country instead OF their
pockets. We must keep the good of the
country at heart. We must not let the love
of money or office lead us away from
the general interest and welfare OF our
people, and as long as our people hold off
from the Republican party because there
are few extremists along on the edges OF
IT, they will always be outside of chance
to be useful to our country and to them
selves. Because as long as they hang on to
the war spirit Democracy they can do no
good The Democracy has fallen so far be-
hind the good Of the country that those
who hang on to it can expect nothing but
to he left in the cold for at least one gen.
Grafton.
The time to build up has come and how
can we build up without enterprising men
and laborcrs who work willingly and cheer
fully and when it is to the interest of the la
borer to vote with tie Republican party it
must certainly be to the interest of the en-
terprising men to be Of the same party.
For that reason l say, let us build up party
here whose interest is identified with peace
and the good Of the country. The interests
of the white man and the colorcd man are
Identical, and they will all soon he enterpri-
sing men together and vote for their interest
and the good of their country without regard
to race or color 1t is mistake to say the
Republicans array the black man against the
white man. There is nobody arrayed against
the black man. except few of those an.
cient rule or ruinists, who array themselves
against the Government which gave them
birth. We want a man to represent us who
can bring the conservative elements together
hope, we, the people of Pitt County, can
understand each other and hereafter be
wise enough to kn.'w how TO take care of
ourselves. Who now is appropriated and
willing to do this? If you think building
up the Democratic party is the way to take
care of ourselves you are not wise. Wis
dom will say build up the Conservative Re
publican party and have peace. BE blind
no more, come and 60 with us, don't stay
mad always, it is a sin, and sin no more.
No more Indignation meetings.
