Dobson for EIector.

EDITOR WESTERN SENTINEL.-In
addition to the duties SO well perform
ed by our Conventions ut ST. Louis and
at Raleigh, a duty of very high impor
lance remains yet to be done by our
District Convention namely: The Sc
lection of Congressional and Electoral
candidates.
Animated with a profound anxiety
for The success of the Democratic par
ty and for the maintenance of the
white mans supremacy in North Car
DINA and the South dependend upon
it am impelled out of the usual tenor
of my way to urge upon your readers
the exp.iiency of nominating John
Ell. Dobson of Surry county for Pres.
idential Elector. His popularity in
his own county is proverb, and he is
also strong with the people of Forsyth.
His candidacy would be powerful
aid in those counties, as well as in
Stokes, to whoever may be the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress
The crisis in our politics has paral
yzed the Convention manipulators and
given the opportunity to bring Out
candidates who are the spontaneous
choice of the people, hence the efficien
cy of the work so far done. Johr
Dobson IS the peoples choice for Pres
idential Elector in the counties in tn,
Western end of this District wher,
the floating white vote is large, ant
where the battle will be won or los
for the District.
| We want him in the field for tn
able canvass he will make and for tn
powerful assistance his candidacy vii
| give to defeat the ring stroked an,
speckled Brewer in his stronghold.
1t our convention at Greensbor'
acts as wisely as did our State AM
National Conventions we will Civ
John M. Brewer the grand bounce
next November. DEMOCRAT.

THE SKELETON In THE CLOSET.

The Republican party in n. q to-
day presents spectacle never before
witnessed in our state. Jeter Pritch-
ard, the nominee for Lieut.. Governor,
is openly accused by l.. L. Green,
leading Republican of Watauga coun-
ty, of completely in the murder of old
man Snyder and his son in Ashe county
about ten years ago.
Pritchard belonged to the revenue
raiders whose presence and deeds were
for so long an odious disgrace to the
people of our state. He was with a
gang that went out to capture Snyder.
His story is that he was left in charge
of prisoner while the rest of the par
ty went on about two miles and at
tempting to arrest them, resisting,
killed Snyder and his son.
That is what he tells, but Green tells
it differently. Green says that Pritch-
ard is guilty of murder and he says
it In strong words.
Shortly after the nomination Green
published card making his ACCUSE
ton. This was replied to by Prifchard
| who published a statement from Judge
Avery saying that there was not suffi-
cient evidence produced IN court against
Pritchard,- and from several other
parties who live in Ashe and Watauga
averring that Pretchard had moth
ing to do with the killing.
Pritehard was indicted for murder
in Ashe court and his case afterward;
went to Greensboro Federal court
It may be that he is entirely limo
cent or it may be that the coroner's
jury failed to get hold of the evidence
or, again, it may be the witnesses fail
ed, either through ignorance or by
concealing the truth, to give in the
evidence that would have made cas-
against him.
Mr.. Green seems to take the latte
view. Notwithstanding Pritchard'
letters of denial, he repeated his charg
in public speech at Boone few day
ago, in the course of which he said !:
"I'm not going to support Jete
Pritchard. For eight years I've sal
that when | find crime, corruption
treason and murder in my party
would show it up. | say that l wi
not vote for deter Pritchard and tn
J Republican party in Watauga vii
, not vote for him.
A few days later he wrote a full ca
} pose and published it in the Wataug
Enterprise. But for The influence I

to destroy them, these papers woul

exactly what the grounds of his charg
were and the evidence sustaining then
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-06-21

As it is, Green continues his verbal |
denunciation of Pritchard and charg-
es that, with the exception of Judge
Avery, all those who wrote letters try
ing to exhonerate Pritchard were his
friends and henchmen.
Now all this that Green charges
may be false or true IF false, then
Pritchard should demand full recit-
al of the charges, and disprove them
one by one. As he doesn't do it the
impression left is that he is afraid to.
| If true, then no honest man can vote
| for him.
True or false, this criminal charge
against one of the foremost men of the
Republican party IS first class skele-
ton in their closet, full.jointed, with
/ no clothes around il, either.
1t is a most grave charge not pre-
ferred, mind you, by Democrats but
by man prominent in the Repubii-
can party. And ii rests today a Cain s
brand on that party in North Carroll
ma. He was revenue raider, he
went with gang to capture man.
The man and his son were killed Did
Pritchard help to do it? Whether he
did or not, there is faint that the
voters will not stomach.
We want clean, honest, unbesmirch
ed men tor our officers. The Repub
lican party offers us man whose
name rests under cloud. The Dem
ocratic party offers men whose record
is unquestioned, whose honor is stain
less, whose character is above suspi
cion.
Then let US, who love our state and
the laws that govern it; who regard
suspicion of our officers as a wound
rally to the support of those Demo
cratic candidates whose record i
spread before the world like an opeI
book and who walk among their tel
low men conscious of their own recti
tude, inviting the closest scrutiny
Such are Fowle and Holt and the PEG
pie owe it to themselves and thei
state to see that this ticket is elected.

The Emperor of Germany is dead
His reign was short, his fight with
death most heroic, his devotion to duty
most sublime. He was man to be
loved as well as honored, for he WIS
cast in an heroic mold, and was good
as well as noble. We honored him as
we honor but few men born in the pur-
pie and who wear crowns He was
a dying man when few months ago
the sceptre fell tn him upon the death
of his illustrious father lie knew
that he was doomed, but lie never sur
rendered. He did not meet death
half way, but forced the grim m5n-
ster" to come all the distance for his
victim. From his ascent to the throne
to the closing scene he was true to
himself and had Germany's welfare
at heart He set III motion broad and
liberal principles which weuld have
been worked out to Il successful issue
no doubt if he could have survived
for few years. But it was not to be.
The most conservative, the most pop
ular, the most sympathetic and hui
name of German otentatts was to
| reign but few weeks and then be laid
away among sleeping royalty to await
the great final assize. All honor t.
memory of Frederick the Peaceful !!
His son succeeds him at once He
is different type He is Prussian
at heart and is not the German Of
Germans his father was. He is be
lever in Bismarckian ideas and q
strong personal Government. If HI
has peaccable reign Germany vii
continue to prosper and flourish. Blu
if he makes war his end and conques
his study he may bring vast deal 0
trouble and suffering upon his people
