mite, is a Republican Yankee, and
came down South to teach niger

he introduces colored women to his

Of North Carolina stand that? Are
our good prohibitionists willing to
vote with a party that is managed
by a man who thinks a Niger is as
good as white man, and would
force social equality on them if it
could? We think not"
lie made an appointment to speak
at Leaksville; the white people turn
ed out to meet him, not knowing
the kind of man he was. He drove
through town with his wife and went
to an old negroes home and spent
the night. This is the party of high
moral ideas.

HIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE AS THF
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR AS
SoCIATE JUSTICE OF THE ST.
PREME COURT--A PA
TRIOTIC PAPER.
DURHAM, N. c., Aug. 3, 1888.

Mr.. j. c. 1. Harris, Secretary Re-
publican State Executive Com
mittee:
DEAR SlR:--Iour favor of yester-
day, informingme Of my unanimous
nomination to fillthe vacancy on the
Suprme Court bench, caused by the
death of the lamented Judge Ashe,
has been received, and am pleased
to note that you are now sufficiently
eonvalescent to resume the perfor-
nance Of theduties Of your position.
My best wishes for your speedy re-
storation to perfect health.
| accept the nomination with
grateful acknowledgements to the
committee for this manifestation of
their confidence in having thought
me worthy to FIJI the high position in
which they seek to place me, and ]
shall always hold in cherished re-
membrance the fattering vote for
Judicial honors which my friends
gave me in the convention.
But without intending to reflect
upon any party or particular indivI-
dual or toprOyoke controversy or use
unjust criticism of the elective judi
eiary system under which we live,
you will permit me, as a citizen Of
the State, to express my deep regret
that underlying the system is the
evil tendency to make the election Of
Judges depend upon party utilization;
and the comforting Of judicial hon
ors, in great measure, the reward
for party services. II is, however. a
fault inherent in the system and the
evil tendency Oft q seeming neees-
sity and legitimate consequence.
/ Perhaps no system could be devised
that would be wholly unobjection-
able and ideal perfection is not at
tainable in inventing and adjusting
the machinery Of government. For
it was the very opposite extreme
which produced the evil Of which
our forefathers complained and
caused Mr.. jefferson and his COM
peers in framing the indictment
against King George, TO insertin the
Declaration Of Independence that:
"He has made Judges dependent on
his will alone for the tenure Of their
Offices"
There is left remedy, however,
which y Judge who is nominated BY
a party and elected by majority Of
the people can apply If he will.
In executing theoiiiciaI trust COM
mitted to bis keeping he may merge
the partisan in the Judge, and in
searching after truth and Justice IN
judicial Investigations he may adopt
the axeman's rule: ..Hew TO the
line ard let the chips fall where
they may"
No more laudable ambition can
stimulate a Judge to the perfor-
nance Of duty than q desire 10 gain
the respect Of the Bar and to deserve
the confidence Of the people; but il
he expects in deciding causes 70 give
satisfaction 10 both sides Of a con-
troyersy and 10 secure for himself
personal popularity BY sacrificing
principles, he undertakes an impos-
sible task and in the end must find
