I4EG EVERYBODY READ It ~.
We sincerely trust that our readers
will give their serious attention. to the
following acts and at, erances OF prom1-
nent Radicals, in order that out OF It's
own mouth the negrO party may be con-
demned. No where do we know of
more complete Or q more truthful his
tory of that party or one more perfect
" consistent with itself, during SO
mauy years, than is to be found in the
utterances of its prominent men from
it's formation to the present day.
in 1863 the women of the State were
insulted by advice from the. Central
State organ and chosen mouth-piece,
Of the party to Radical canvassers to
throw their arms around them when
their husbands were not about. In
1868 the white people were threatened
openly with starvation and destruction
of their homes from the vengeance of
negroes. In 1869 the Radical Gov
ernor claimed tie power to sus-
pend all laws at his own pleasure,
and in 1870 he did so suspend all laws
at his own will and pleasure. III 1889
the bill was passed under which the
State was filled with spies, who logged
mems footsteps on the streets Of Will
mington and elsewhere IN the State.
In 1870 the Infamous Shoffuer bill was
passed. empowering the Governor to
declare every county in North Caro-
lima in a state of i2surrection. 1t was
under this bill and in this year that
the Holden-Kirk war was carried on
and the Radical Governor asked the
Radical Congress to authorize the
Radical PRESIDENT to suspend the witt
OF ha6eos corpus. SO that men might
be arrested and tried before military
tribunals and shot, and it was in this
year that Holden tho Radical Governor
declared that if any bodily harm came
to him, "certain leading Democrats
and Conservatives, who might be
named, will beinstantly put to death"
During all this time Judg" Settle
sustained Holden and supported his
adm Illustration when his name to a
''littJe piece of paper" as he con-
ter ptuously calls the great writ Of
Ha6eas Corpus, would in an instant
have restored law and order. In 1871
Judge Settle and the other members
of the Supreme Court soiemnly de-
clared from the bench that the action
they took in those times, the action
that sustained Holden and enab ed
him to carry on the Kirk war, was right
and proper. In 1872 the Radical Con-
vention of the State, of which Judge
Settle was a member, formally Ell
dorsed AMI sIstnined Holden and his
administration and the Kirk war, even
after be had been driven in shame and
disgrace from his high Office for those
very crimes. And to-day we find,
that same Thomas Settle, the candidate
of that party for Governor, John Pool,
the instigaror of the war, its Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, Me-
Lindsay, the pirate, its candidate for
Congress and Holden it's chief coun>
sellor and official adviser.
Since the world began, no party has
ever thought, spoken or acted so
much villainy and infamy as the Radi-
Cal party. Don't fail to read a single
one of the following utterances if you
wish to know the true inwardness Of
Radicaliem and Of Radicals: ....
''But wherever else you work don't
forget to work among the women
Go after the women then. And
don't hesitate to throw your arms
around their necks now and then when
their husbands are not around, and
give them a good. They all like
it. Our experience with fe-
male REDS is, that with all their sins
they have a vast amount of human ma
ture, aud only want to have it appre
rated TO be the most loving Creatures
imaginable. ScallawAgs and carpet
bsggers don't fail, therefore, rs you
canvass the State. to look after the
women. '-Raleigh Standard.
did it ever occur to you, ye
gentlemen of education, property and
character, to you, We men and especi
ally ye women, who never received
anything from these colored people
but services; kindness and protection,
did it never occur to you that these
same people who are SO very bad, will
not be willing to sleep in the cold
when your houses are denied them,
merely because they will not vote as
you do ? That they may not be willing
to starve, while they are willing to
work for bread? Did it never occur
to you that revenge, which is SO
sweet 10 you, may be as sweet to them
Hear us, if nothing else you will hear,
did it ever occur to you, that if you
kill their children with hunger they
will kill your children with fear 2 Did
it never occur to you, that if you good
people mallciously determine that they
shall have no shelter, they may deter
mine that you shall have no shelter

1.-The Governor las power to sus-
pend all civil law as it was suspended
in 1865. ~ W. Holden.
The Spy Rill was passed in this
year.
The Shofner Bill was introduced
into the Legislature. In advocating
this bill Radical Senator Cook, from
Johnston county, said it ought to pass,
because if it became law men accused
could be tried by drum-head court
martial and shot"
The painting or disguise act was
passed this year.
IF Congress would authorize the
suspension, by the President, of the
writ of Habeas Cor1oas in certain 10
calities, and if criminals could In ar
rested and tried before military tri-
bunals and shot we would soon have
peace and order throughout all this
country W. w. Holden.
John Pool proposed put into the
service desperate named McLind-
sey, who would raise company that
"would give Governor Holden no
trouble, FOR that if any of the men ar
rested by him undertook any resist
ance he would kill them or they would
he lost and never be heard of again."
and suggested that the Governor Hol-
DEM should. follow the example of
Governor Clayton of Arkansas, "who
had taken military possession of dis
affected counties and tried and exc
cuted large numbers of men by mill
tary court. "-R. G.. Badgers stOorn
