hone carried Virginia, that is, by avow-

an enemy Of Bourbonism 2"
"There is only one"
"Who is hep"
"Senator Matt Ransom"
"Why do you think Ransom could do
this ?"
Because he is SO well beloved all
over the State that he could carry off
enough Democrats to carry the State for
any ticket that he might lead. But we
do not need such o man. We've got
Republicans enough to carry the old
North State, without winking or blink
ing, plain, honest, stalwart Republicans,
Garfield, Blaine, Grant and Conkling
men, who. If properly encouraged and
given clear field and fair fight, will
make North Carolina as reliable a Re
publican State as any of those which
cast their electoral votes for Garfield and
Arthur"
"What do you mean by encourage
ment?"
"To give every Office, from the low
est to the highest, to the Republicans
alone, and to give to North Carolina her
full share of the patronage of the Gov
ernment."
HAS not this been the policy of the
administrations which have gone be-
fore ?"
"No. sir; not all of them. Mr.. Hayes
Southern policy disorganized us as a
party in North Carolina. Had it not
been for this policy, we would have car
ried the State for Garfield. By adopt
ing a policy which showed that he
thought We were not as good as Demo
Gratis, he discouraged the Republicans,
and caused many of them to desert the
camp. They couldn't see any use of

Chow do you like the policy of the
present administration as far as it has

"We have not seen enough of it to

lieve that it will be stalwart, straight
forward one, and all that we desire"
Do you, as Southern Republican.
think Malone ought to be encouraged
by the administration ?"
81 certainly do. He has had hard
fight in the past, and will have q harder
one in the future, and therefore it should
be the policy of all friends of freedom
and fair play to hold up his hands, and
in every legitimate way give him and
the true men who back him all the
moral and material support that they
can command"
How are you Republicans treated in
North Carolina? Any social ostracism
or bulldozing ?"
"None at all, now. There are $4,000
white Republicans in the State, and
they are the equals of the Democrats in
wealth, intelligence and social standing.
So, you see, as matter of policy, they
treat us WE'LL"
How do they treat the black Re-
publicans ?"
"The better class of white people
treat them as well as they are treated
anywhere, and the Democracy have been
particularly sweet on them lately, their
evident intention being to fill the Demo-
cratic ranks, which have been depleted
by white deserters, with black recruits.
They love the darby when he votes with
