loil of our community. We have sue
ceeded in getting hold of copy from
which we make the following extracts
The "Deformers " hit the Ring some pret-
ty sound blows:
Because as portion Of the Republicans
we differ with the Mabson- Bum McCabe
Ring, We are called Democrats, Kuklux, &c
On Saturday, the 9th nf Jute, when we
wanted to put ourselves in a proper light
before the people: their Ring brought on an
interruption which was disgraceful to any
civilized community. You may krow there
is corruption in the Ring when it fears
discussion, and uses such means to prevent
both sides from being heard. We all know
that Mabs"n Was guilt Of perjury,
and was expelled from the House
of Representatives in 1873, and now stands
charged with foul crime against young
girl, whom her parents sent to him as
school teacher to be taught virtue and de-
cency. Take the words of the distinguish
ed gentleman, Senator McCabe, used al the
Court House in Tarboro', February, 1873:
MADISON, you have perjured yourself, you
have lied to the people, you are guilty of
the blacklist crime known to decency" He,
as would-be member of Congress, is now
supporting this same MADISON for State Sen
ator to legistate for a respectable people.
But the chances are against MADISON hold
ing his seat if he is elected, and the people
may be put to the same trouble as before,
that is, electing another. Willis Bum in
1872 was the first man who pointed out the
clause in the Constitution that rendered
MADISON ineligible, and then in a speech in
the Court House, June 81, said that Dick
johnson told lie on his friend MADISON and
that he did all that he could to keep him in
the House of Represent When Mr..
Bum took bis seat as a member of the Leg
islature he swore to support the Constitu-
ton. Did he do it in Mabson's case? Let
US, Fellow citizens, see a little more of
Mr.. Willis Bunn's corruption. Two years
ago few Republicans Of this county were
in favor of J. A. Hyman for Congress. This
same Bum Mabson- McCabe ring said they
were democrats and that democratic purses
had hired Hyman to break up the Republi-
can party. Now Bum, MADISON & Co., are
guilty of the very same thing and are push
ing each other upon the honest Republicans
of the county Think of it honest Republi-
cans, who desire good government and vote
tho of oh tha OF IN
August.
Mr.. Joseph Cobb, the would-be Sheriff,
at Piney Grove School House in 1871, used
these words, Il was rocked in democratic
cradle in my infancy and when l die l ex-
pect to die on a democratic bed" He farth-
er said in 1866 that he would resign his
Office of Sheriff because the negroes would
be coming in his Office to attend to their
affairs and he would not be bothered with
them 70 save their lives" DR.. w. A. Dug
gan in 1871 voted for convention and did
not claim to be Republican until 1872.-.
Now, voters, see for yourselves who are Re-
publicans and who are Democrats.
Who is Mr.. Allen Turner, the great wire
worker for the Mabson-B unn -McCabe Ring?
Go and ask the poor colorei people of Ca
barrus county who he is. 1t will be re-
remembered that the winter of 1867 was
very cold. This man, Turner, was driven
out of Raleigh for some offence, and he
went up to Cabarrus and represented him
self as the owner of 5000 acres of rich swamp
land in Edgecombe, and persuaded some of
those poor colored people to break up
from their homes and come to this
comfy, promising that he would settle
them on his farm. He deceived a good
many among whom were women and chill
dren, and they sold what little they had
and started with him. When this demon
got to Greensboro he said he must stop
there for some money. After he had been
there a day he went to the poor coIored
disappointed in getting his money asked them
to loan him what they had and he would
repay it when he got to Edgecombe as he
had plenty there. When he got the money

the depot at Greensboro, without shelter,
without cent of money or mouthful of
bread. This was during the cold sleet in
1867. Now this man Turner is the great
prime mover in the Bunn- MADISON n-McCabe
ring. Think of it, Fellow citizens, this is
the man who has been travelling through the
county for the last several weeks to teach
honest Republicans how to vote, telling
them to vote for the Ring which is as cor
rupt as himself. He is promised a Deputy
Sheriff's place for his dirty work. This Tur-
ner tried to be Moses of the people of Edge
combe in 1868, but a few good people set
him aside, and he has been trying to get
Rulers place in Halifax and Northampton,
but failing, has come back to try his hand
again in Edgebombe with birds of the same
feather.
We submit the foregoing 10 the Republi-
can voters of Edgecombe, with the assurance
that we have said nothing we are not able
to prove, and we ask them to think for them
selves and vote as freemen on the first Thurs
dav in AuouSt
