will give their serious attention to the |
following acts and ut FRANCES of prom1- |
nent Radicals, in order that out of its |
own mouth the negro party may be con-
demned. No where do we know of q |
more complete or more truthful his |
tory of that party or one more perfect |
ly consistent with itself, during 80 |
many years, than is to be found In the |
utterances of it's prominent men from |
it's formation to the present day.
In 1868 the women of the State were
insuited BY advice from the Central
State organ and chosen mouth-piecs
OF the party TO Radical cauvassers 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 the power to sus-
pend all laws ut his own pleasure,
and il 1870 he did so suspend ali laws
at his own will and pleasure. In 1889
the bill was passed under which the
State vas filed with spies, who logged
mems footsteps on the streets OF Viii
mington and elsewhere III the State.
In 1870 the Infamous Shoffner bill was
passed, empowering the Governor to
declare every county in North Caro-
lima in 4 STATE, OF iasurr ction. It was
nader tins bill and in this year that
tho HDlden-klrk war was carried on
ana the Radical Governor asked the
Radical Congress to authorize the
Radical resident to suspend the writ
Of Au5c0s corpus so that men might
be arrested and tried before military
tribunals and shot, and it was in this
year that Holden the Radical Governor
declared that il any bodily harm came
to him, certain leading Democrats
and Conservatives, who might be
named, will be christianity put to death.
During ali this time Judge Settle
sustained Holden md supported his
administration when his name to
"htL!c piece Of paper" Dis he con-
ter pfuousiy calls the great writ of
EQ6eo8 Corpus, would in an instant
have restored law and order. IL 1871
Judge Settle and the other members
of the Supreme Court soiemnly de-
clared from the bencn that the action
they took liz those times, the action
that sustained Holden ard enabled
him to carry Oh the Kirk war. WAS right
and proper. In 1872 the Radical Con
vention Of the State, of which Judge
Settle was a member, formally en-
dorned ana sustained Holden and his
administration and the Kirk war, even
after b. had been driven III shame aud
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, ohm Poo,
l.tne instjgauor OF the war, its ruperln-
tendent Of Public Instruction, Mc>
Lindsay, the pirate, its candidate for
Congress aud holden its chief coun>

Since the world began, no party has
ever thought, spoken or acted 50
IL UGH vi!lainy and infamy as the Radi-
cal party. Don't fail to read single
one of the following utterances if you
with to know the true inwardness of
Radicalism and of Radicals:
1865.
"But wherever else you work don't
forget to work among the women.
Go after the women then. And

their husbands are not around, and

it. x x Our experience with fe-
| male rebs is, that with all their sins
| they have a vast amount of human ma
| ture, and only want TO have it appre-
rated to be the most loving creatures
imaginable. Scallawsgs and carpet
baggers don't fail, therefore, as you
canvass the State, to look after the
women. ''-Rateigh Standard.
Odd it ever occur to you, ye
gentlemen Of education, property and

| anything from these coiOred people
but services; kindness and protection,
did it never occur to you that these
same people who are 80 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 to 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? Did
it never occur to you, that if you good
