New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1884-12-05

| TIE TRIBUNE has received a copy of hand
| bill which was extensively circulated through
| out the With Congressional District of North
| Carolina during the late campaign. 1t was
circulated by Democrats in the interest of the
| Democratic nominee for Congress in that district
and it is understood TO have contributed largely
| to his election And an interesting document
| it is. We sincerely wish Il copy of it could fall
| into the hands of every Northern "Indcpcnd-
cnt" who believes that the Democratic party
is as good rs the Republican party or who
snccrs at the suggestion that Democratic res
torltion is fraught with peril to the colorcd
voters of the South For the handful from
first to last is Il brazcn denial of the cardinal
American doctrine of equal rights. 1t proccc lis
on the assumption that the white men OF North
Carolina have the right to rule, while the black
men of North Carolina have no such right. 1t
brcathcs nothing but envy, hatred, malice and
all unchartabcncss toward every man in the
district, no matter how reputable ana indus
trious whose skin is dark. Here are few
sample paragraphs from this Bourbon handbll ::
