The Doctor Heard From.

DIR. Robey's letter to the Spirit
Of the Age, Raleigh, appeared in that
paper Yesterday evening. We have
not space for the entire letter. The
Doctor, after explaining, that he had
been misrepresented in his published
speech, which be would much rather
should have not appeared in print, he
says

Concerning Health.

The impression has gone abroad,
and still exists 10 the minds of some
who do not know The facts. or never
examiled into the matter, that Dur.
ham 10 an unhealthy place. Why
this sentiment should exist at all, in
the least degree, we must confess we
cannot see.
In glancing overthe Bulletin Of The
North Carolina Board lof Health,
| issued for August, we find tina,
typhoid fever, dephtheria, whoopipg
cough, typho.malarial fever, dyson.
.eiy. pernicious fever, measles aud
scarlatina are reported in different
counties. and yet Durham county Il

The RECORDERS Position.

Ahc hACGUEuCh IS V5ktiVhs
But be 1t understood the REcoR.
DER is a Democratic paper, and so far
as the Third Party Is concerned, it
will fight that party with all of its
vim and energy. Whyl Because,
like the Republican party-its ally
it is opposed to the Democratic party;
opposed to Democratic principles;
opposed to Democratic nominees; op.
posed to white men ruling North
Carolina-"Down with the white
mans psrty" is its organs slogan
Because, as a party, it savors too
much Of social equality, in that some
of its speakers declare it will gather
negro children and, white children
under its wings, without line of dis.
tinction. If the Third party men in
Durham re~echo this sentiment, and
swallow the woman's suffrage plank,
which, if it were to become a law,
would make voters of at least 10000
Ignorant colored women in the State,
then every white man should fight to
the death. The Third party in Dur.
ham must swallow this woman's sufs
ffage plank. 1t is in their national
platform. They cannot dodge it.
Here it is-the 9TH resolution:
~. That the right Of suffrage rests
nm no mere circumstance of race,
color, sex, or nationality, and that
where, from any cause, it has been
held from citizens who are of suitable
age and mentally and morally quail
| fed for the exercise Of an intelligent
ballot it should be restored by the
people through the legislature OF the
several States on such educationa
basis they may deem WISE"
In view of these things the REcoR
DER has buckled on the whole armcl
OF political warfare and its jayelir
| is sharpened for the fight. When
surgeon probes wound, or uses hi
s:alpel, he does not listen to the pa
tents plea for milder treatment. Ill
does it for the patients good. TIL
