if Harrison is elected the Kent gentle
man is to wheel the Caroline gentle

PRITCHARD AND GUDGER.

The joint discussion between Mr..
Pritchard, republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and Mr.. H. A.
Gudger, who represents the demo-
cratic candidate, was to have been in
the court house last Wednesday night.
The crowd was so large they had to
go tothe square. Mr.. Pritchard led
in the discussion, making an able and
forcible speech. He reviewed the
issues of the day generally, and conf
pletely handicapped Mr.. Gudger. He
held the crowd of four or FIVE hun
bred for one hour in the rain, and
was frequently interrupted by APP
plause. Though young, he proved
himself to be one of the ablest can
vassers now on the stump. The repub-
licans of Mecklenburg now know who
they will vote for to be the Lieutenant
Governor, instead of the chief of
plaids trust.
Mr.. Gudger found subject from a
statement made by Mr.. Pritchard in
correcting a simple mistatement in an
evening paper. He began, prated
and dwelt on the color question. He
made a strenuous and Intellectual APP
peal to the colored voters. He asked
would colored man vote for white
republican who would not say he
would vote for a colored man? This
question is easily answered in the
affirmative. Why of couse we expect
white republicans to vote for colored
republicans when one is offered, but
if they do not, do we better our
selves by voting for a democrat who
would not vote for colored man, and
who stands by the old party that
fought every privilege we now enjoy?
Mr.. Gudger's remarks were ridicu-
lous and insulting to intelligent
colored men. His appeals availed
nothing. Colored men will vote the
republican ticket without the advice
of democrats.

MIR. JOCKEY SPEAKS.

Mr.. G. P. Jockey, the republican
candidate for Congress, visited our
city last Wednesday, and according to
appointment addressed the voters of
this county in the Mint yard. There
was a large turnout of all classes of
voters, expecting to hear the Hon.
j. G. Pritchard and Hon. c. P.
Jockey. As it was understood there
would be a joint discussion between
Mr.. Pritchard and Mr.. II. A. Gud-
ger, who represents the democratic
candidate. Mr. Pritchard agreed to
wait till night to give Mr.. Gudgcr
time to reach the city. Mr.. Jockey
therefore spoke about two hours to the
largest crowd assembled in this city
since the night Judge Fowle spoke
here.
1t is agreed by all that Mr.. Jockeys
speech was the best that has been
made in this campaign in this county
He is not college bred' man
neither is he ashamed 20 tell of the
way he has worked himself up He
is in the strictcst sense a working man.
He has worked himself up from a poor
orphan newsboy, a sixty-cent day rail
road hand, common barber, through
the lower house then the senate and
now an honorcd member Of the bar Of
Wilmington. He is well posted on
public affairs; is a fluent and eloquent
talker, and dealt the democratic party
some heavy blows in showing up their
fallacies and inconsistencies.
He dwelt at length upon the acts of
the Legislature. the odious county
government system. the internal rev.
enuc, the tariff, the Presidents policy
and things in general. No man ever
left better impression upon his hear
crs than did Mr.. Jockey in this city.
We assure him the Republican vote
Of Mecklenburg County. Several
democrats who heard him speak were
heard to say. because he is a poor man,
laboring man, an intelligent man

Republican Platform.

LIST, That the interests of the farmer
and the labOrer are identical, and
whatever injuriously effects one works
grievance against the other.
I'd. The hand that holds the pillow
should be honored, and there should
be moro equitable equation between
the wages of labor and the compcn-
sation of the ofice-holder.
3D.. We look upon the purity Of the
ballot-box as the best possible security
against threatening evils and we
demand such reasonable State legis-
lation as will fully protect the clector
in the exercise of the elective franchise.
Any denial of the elective franchise
by fraud or violence poisons the
springs of power,
4th Agriculture, manufacture and
commerce are the three great factors
of civilization and all Legislation tend
ing 20 foster these agencies will re-
ccivc the support of the Republican
party.
9TH, While industry and economy
are always to be looked to for relief
from financial depression, individual
success necessarily depends to a great
extent upon wise legislation. To
this end the total and unconditional
repeal of all internal revenue taxes
will greatly relieve the present par
alyzed industrial condition of the
eountry-both by relieving the
country Of a swarm of unnecessary
officials and will relieve North Caro-
lima from this unequal and unjust tax
Internal federal taxes belong only to
war and all revenues for the support
of the Federal government Gin times
of peace) should be collected from
customs dues and their collection
should be so adjusted as to protect
American industries and labor.
9th. The general government
should not keep in its treasury any
more money than is actually necessary
to meet the demands of the govern
ment; and as the means of preventing
any further accumulation We demand
the repeal of the internal revenue
system Of taxation and the passage
of the Blair educational bill as the
best method Of public education and
Of distributing The already accumulat-
ed surplus in the treasury.
9TH. We are opposed to the present
system Of county government and we
demand the election Of all county and
township officers by the people.
Sth. The Republican party favors
aud viii earnestly support any legis-
latiOn looking to the abolition of all
useless State officials and DEEPEN
denotes, and the repeal of all un-
necessary taxation, that government
itself may not consume that which
it was intended to foster aud protect
S,h, We favor the working of the
public roads by some system more
equitable than the present unjust aud
hurdensome one.
10Th That We oppose the present
system Of hiring out conyicts by the
State, so as to bring their labor in
competition with free labor.

and an honorable man, he should have
their votes.
The poor men of the 9th Congress

aside their prejudice and vote for this
able, rising young man and let the
aristocratic Rowland stay at home

Brutal Policemen.

We beg leave to call the attention
of Major VIM. Moere to several MEM
bers of the police force, who, on every
presentable opportunity, illtreat poor
and unfortunate colored criminals or
those who are arrested for petty often
SEES. There seems to be an entire new
force since the appointment of Major
Moore, of such men who are only fit
to be over a drove of cattle instead Of
human beings. We take this occasion
to inform Major Moore that these bru-
tai assaults on our colored citizens can
not long exist The people will not
tolerate it and if it is not stopped there
is way to stop it. The condition of
affairs in this town are similar to GER
tain cities in the South, where the au-
thorities are all democratic.
1t must be stopped, Major, or be re
sponsible for the consequences of wha;
may happen. The colored people are
human and if you fail to protect them
under the laws govern this country we
shall appeal to .'Ceasar'. You are
in duty bound as chief of police. to see
that your officers commit no brutal Of
tense against any class of citizens. -

We did not, in our article, intimate
that persons born outside of legitimate
wedlock, before the war, when our
people could do no better, were unfit
ted for teachers. But we insist that,
while no one should be condemned for
the sins of their parents, that the lille
climate boys and girls Of white men,
born of disreputable Negro women"
since the war, should not be given the
preference over the boys and girls born
in wedloek. Lewdness must be made
odious. While they are not held gull
ty for the sins Of their parents, their
usefulness is so impaired by such
history that they should seek other av-
ocations than those which set them up
as teachers and leaders of the race.
No greater curse rests against our peo-
pie than their lack of discrimination
between the vicious and the virtuous,
the immortal and the pure. We hail

hope it will soon permeatc the whole

and employment Of only such teachers
as can be the very best possible exam
