Some people, for motives easily re-
cOgnized, draw a distinction between the
recommendation of Judge Fowle by the
caucus and Gov. Jarvis by the Legisla-
ture. That is thin. The caucus stands
for the Democratic party which not only
two thirds of both Houses OF
the Assembly, but also embraces nine
tenths OF the intelligence and influence.
The caucus was the Democratic party
of North Carolina speaking to a Demo-
cratic President. The resolution in re-
to Gov. Jarvis was not considered
in caucus hence could not be opposed.
Because after it had been brought into
the House, and endorsed by one Repub-
lican (aud negro) after another, no Dem
ocrat could have gracefully opposed it.
