You've Stephen A. Douglass retains the
name of his father; that's all There's
none CT the fathers greatness nothing of
his nobility of soul and lofty ambition
about the boy. Coming from North Caro-
lima where he was loved and respected for
his fathers sake, he has no words of abuse
too severe, can frame no ISLANDERS too dam
aging to heap upon that people. Seven
years ago the wealth and intelligence of
North Carolina asserted themselves, and
placing carpet-bagism and scallawagery
under foot, inaugurated reign of peace,
good order and good will throughout the
entire lima of the State. For the terror
ism, for the confusion and bloodshed that
marked the rule of carpet bagism, the
Democracy of North Carolina gave the peo-
pie good government quiet.and harmony
everywhere. Knowing as Stephen A Doug
lass, Jr. does, that stories of Democratic
pull.dozlng and night-riding would not be
believed should he utter them, he resorts to
the meaner because the more cowardly
falsehood Of declaring that the Democratic
party maintain ascendcncy by resort to
fraud-to stuiiing ballot boxes, altering
election returns and by all the undetermined
means that ingenious and INSCRIPTIONS vii
lains can practice, OF course every intelli-
gent man in the North, who has kept his
eyes open to passing events, knows than,
in mouthing such statement, young
Douglass uttered cruel and inexcusable
SANDER upon the better classes of North
Carolina. To retain control of North Caro-
lima, it is only necessary that Democrats 90
to the polls and vote. They are overwhelm-
ingly in the ascendant, and instead OF their
success indicating fraud, it would indicate
an honest expression of public sentiment.
While this is true, their defeat could be ac-
counted for on no other hypothesis than
that Democrats by thousands had volun-
tarily absented themselves from the polls,
Or that the party had been subjected to the
frauds and the villainies, in the practice of
which the carpet-baggers and scallawags of
Inc South are such acknowledged experts.
For the sake of the glorious name he bears,
MIR. Douglass should keep his mouth shut.
