Democracy peace had relgued aud pros

The Republican party had been concIcv-
ed III blood born in strife and it had lived
on sectional hatred, 1t had arrayed Sec
ton against section, race against race, and
man against man He pictured the con
dition OF North Carolina under Republic
can rule How every interest-the educa-
tional, the industrial and the agricultural
had been jcopardlstd by dishonest and
unwise legislation, and a dishonest and
unwise administration Of public affairs
Then the children were allowed to grow up
in ignorance, railroads and other internal
improvements We're left to lag, while the
people were burdened with taxation and
their taxes sqnandered. He contrasted
these things with the condition of affairs
under Democratic rule. Now hundreds
of thousands o. dollars are annually spent
in the education of the children OF the
State, every department Of the State gov
ernment is wisely and economically ad
miniotcred, every State institution IS
properly and economically managed. The
Western North Carolina railroad that had
taken every year nearly q hundred thou
sand dollars OF the peoples money had
been taken Off their shoulders and by wise
and ludlclouS management 1t was making
its way westward, and was developing one
of the gtandest sections of country the
sun ever shone on. Other railroads We're
being built, and in many ways the State
was keeping time to the march OF progress.
Should little differences cause men to
leave a party that had done so much for
the country. Wasn't it much better and

rect any errors in the party What was
there Objectionable to the Democratic
ticket The candidates for the county
offices with one exception were men who
had served the people before. That single
exception IS the son of Il man who not
only Wake county but North Carolina de
lighted to houor-lIon. Geo. f. Badger.
His son, capable and worthy, himself mod
estly announced himself Il candidate for
Superior Court Clerk.
The Legislative ticket represents all
classes of our citizens. We find three
representative farmers, one young me-
chanic and one lawyer. Would these
farmers wish TO leave their quiet homes,
be separated from their families and ask
you to send them to the Legislature that
they might do you an injury Would Mr..
Lumsden leave his work bench and go
he might go to the Legislature and do you
or any of the people Of the county an in
jury! Would | (sald Mr.. Stamps leave
my business, 90 all over the county max
ing this campaign, in order to advance my
own personal interests to the injury of the
people? Such a thought even is absurd.
Capt. lamps then defined some legisla-
tion that he thought would be beneficial.
such as the extension of the jurisdiction
of magistrates and the necessity of keep
ing convict Labor out of conflict with hon
est labor, and closed by urging the
people to go out to the polls and vote for
the Democratic nominees.
DR.. A. J. Blanchard then announced
himself candidate for the Legislature.
He was nominated, he said, as an anti
stock law man and believed that whatever
grievances the people might have they
could hope for redress only through rep
resentatives who would be in sympathy
with a Democratic Legislature. Some one
had charged that he had said only land
owners should vote on the stock law ques
ton. He had never held any such opin
ion and he had never made any such dec
laration If elected he should strive to
work in the interest of the people.
All the candidates were listened to at
tentively, and this end Of the county will
roll up big Democratic najorties.
At Cary on Tuesday and at Apex We'd
nesday good crowds met our candidates,
and they addressed themselves in telling
way to the issues of the campaign. At
Apex Thos. r. Purnefl, Esq, who has been
a prominent Republican, was called upon
and spoke for an hour. He reviewed the
history of the Two parties in the country
during the past four years. He said he
had pulled loose from the Republican par
ty because he could not endorse the men
nominated and methods used to secure
their nomination, nor the effort the
Republicans are making to deceive the peo-
pie about the stock law question. day
Thursday they speak at New Hill, Buck
horn township. No true Democrat can
hear the speeches and acquaint himself
with the character of the Democratic can
didates and vote for the mongrel concern
which opposes them. +. b. y.

member that Independentism, and Liber
alism means aid and comfort to Republi-
