er of the House of Representatives,
and for that reason, if for no other,
they refuse to support him.
2. The short time he was Secretary |
of State in Mr.. Garfelds cabinet was
spent by him in seeking to embroll
this country in open war with South
America. The monetary interest OF
the country became unsettled, there
by causing great alarm and conster-
notion among the capitalists and those
holding government securities, and
his resignation gave universal relief.
It has been openly charged that this
embIoiglio grew out of secret specula-
tive operations in which Mr.. Blaine
was personally interested.
3. Some time before he was nomi-
mated he wrote letter in which he
| stated that he favored the continuance
oe the internal revenue system of tax
alton and the distribution of the funds
arising therefrom among the States
according to population. How would
that work North Carolina pays IN
to the treasury from that source 81
377 900, while Kansas pays S240, 900,
and Maine, Mr.. Blaine's State, pays
S7S, ,OOO-ten times as much as Kan
sas, and thirty times as much as
Maine. Thus North Carolina would
pay into the treasury thirty times as
much as Maine, but in a distribution
she would get but little more than
Maine. By this means North Carroll
ma would be taxed on her whisky,
brandy and tobacco collected by a
horde of sycophantic tax gatherers to
raise money to be pocketed by Maine
prohibitionists.
1t is understood that parties select
candidates to head their tickets whose
records commend them to the voters.
The Republican party, therefore, in
endorsing York endorsed his record.
He has a worse record than any man
{ that ever went to the General Assem-
bly in North Carolina tor the same
length of time He is against internal
improvements for he voted against the
w. n. c.. and G. F. & Y. V. railroads.
He is opposed to the farmers, for he
voted against the bill to establish an
: agricultural department, which was
; for their special benefit, and under
| whose management North Carolina
, made better exhibit at Atlanta and
Boston than any other State, and will
: make magnificent exhibit at Raleigh
this fall. He is opposed to education
e for he voted against bill to establish
? Normal schools required by the Con
: stitution he had sworn to support
/, He is opposed to the relief of the un
e fortunate insane, for he voted agains
| II h. hf
o whites at Morganton and for the col
t ored at Goldsboro. He is opposed t.
e the settlement of the Satte debt, tol
: he voted against the bill to compro
: misc the State debt.
e The Democratic Legislature, how
r. ever, passed all these bills unde
S which the State is happy and prosper
:. Gus to-day. If York had had hi
+. way the railroads would now be il
e the hands of foreign syndicates and th'
e State groaning under load of deb
e and the farmers without an agricultu
le raj department. The same is true G
TT the Republican party for they endors
IS him and his record.
d The Republican party should nc
lie have further lease of power, for 500
1T after the war every Southern Stat'
n, save West Virginia and Kentuck,
ID and nearly every county of this Stat
b. went into the hands of that part,
r They, in three wears, heaped upon tn
le State debt aggregating one hundre
II and seventy millions of dollars, an
lg County debts varying from ten
is eighty thousand dollars. The polit
of cal vampires reveled in luxury an
e. prostitution for q short time. I'll
'r. people seeing the ruin being wrougl
81 by taxation, profigacy and the XII
n war, rose as one giant man and struc
id off the degrading shackles and Il
as government went into the hands
er the true, tax-paying people, who ha,
Or. rid the States and Counties, of det
ed reduced taxation and the people a
IS happy and prosperous. Now, Il
i'd question is, do you want to return
ed the days of ruin and degradation
III do you want to remain under the go
til ernment that rescued you therefron
ey Suppose you leave your fine farm to
til man with ten laborers for two yea
un They run you in debt and nearly ru
nd you. The next two years you lea
of it to a man and ten laborcrs who wo
Die it we'll and bring you out of de
wd Now, as a business man when y
lid come to leave it the third two yea
if would you leave it to the first or s.
ond set? Apply the illustration. Y
ms leased your government to the Repu
Ir. lican party for two years and they r
in you in debt and nearly ruined "
an You then leased it to the Democra
of party who paid you out of debt a
md made you prosperous. Now, to viii
ar party will you leave it?'
as Major F. G. Robbins, of Lexingt,
w made another speech in the Cou
i've House to-day to a large crowd and
Mr.. who heard it pronounced it a magl
ent icent speech. He held his audiel
uld spell bound for more than an he
the and rouud after round of appla
e greeted this gifted orator as q tol
eftheir appreciation of his efforts.
a night Major Pinnix, Mr.. J. w. y
nty hanson and C. B. Watson will add
lch- the Cleveland and Scales club at {
in Grove. Oh, the Republicans are 10
nth ing sick in Davie and the white pee
nci- are repudiating York and his g
he and saying there is too much mig
cen there for them. G. T. CouNTE
