party leaders in this State has not
merited my admiration or COM
manded my respect and Irepnd-
late their duplicity and leave them
in disgust and contempt. | believe
the Third party to be the ally of
the Republican. The prominent
part taken by negroes and old line
Republicans in the Third party
State convention and its action
forces me to believe it was denomi-
mated hy a Republican spirit.
Even were this not 10, independ-
ent action Can only secure Repub
lican ascendancy, as one hundred
and fifty votes of former Democrats
in each county will secure Rspub-
fican victory and Harrison electors
with al the miseries and vices of
negroism in its train.
| will not be a party to assist such
'eadors in their lust for gain and
schemes of self-aggrandisetaent by
imposing upon the ignorance and
credulity of our people.
| would not vote Tor Weaver be-
cause he voted mo-" in the 4th
Congress to repeal military law in
the South when | was disfranchised.
He voted and has steadily ems
deavored to burden US with $500,
900 5000 extra pay for those who
laid waist u fields, burned our
homes and ravished our women.
He took money from feeble cd
white men, robbed the helpless
women and fatherless children
while governor of Pulaski, Tennes-
see. He has been the most mal,g-
nant South hater and persistent
enemy of u people and in his
rabid u%tterances against US in COM
parison would make infamous old
Thaddeus Stephens appear our
frieLd.
His record also shows he ems
|dorsed the National Banks.
[ will vote the Democratic State
ticket because the platform and
candidates of that party more truly
represent reform and Alliance prin-
'ciples than the hoodlum gang and
visionary projects of the Third
party.
| viii vote for Elias Carr because
Il think) he is the first bona .fde
farmer candidate for Governor il
the history of our State and is a
true exponent Of reform principles,
bearing aloft the peoples banner
in the Democratic party.
[ fought for North Carolina four
years, and now my patriotism dee
mands that | stand by my State it
the hour of her most imminent
peril. In my old age | am unwilling
to vote to surrender my children
to negro supremacy and to bind
them more securely in the letters
of misrule or to crush them be-
meath the expressions of the tariff
taxation tor fraudulent pensions.
| will not vote for Harrison be-
cause [ regard him as a weak, corr
rupt, partisan puppet in league
with such interruptions men as
Raum, E kins, Woods, Dudley and
Wanamaker, and because he repre>
sents the worst clements of pater-
naiisn Derotism, Capitalization
ard sec;ionalism.
[ will vote the National Demo-
cratic ticket because the period
of that party's rule is the history
of our greatest prosperity, and be>
cause it has ever been the friend
of the masses. The last Demo-
cratic Congress endeavored to give
rs free binding Irvine and to limit
the free importations of the rich,
thereby saving the consumers of
this country about $176, 600, 900. 90
annually, but the Republican Sens
ate said mo"
[ will vote for Grover Cleveland
because he saved $33,OOO,O 900. 90
surplus under a At per cent. tariff
while. Harrison will have S13O,O0O,-
10000 deficit under a 90 per cent,
tariff; because he has proven him.
self to be the friend of the South;
because he gave us a clean, eco
n mical administration; because he
is the champion of the masses; be-
cause he would not allow a Repub-
lican House and Senate to crush
and %subiugate our people, or to
Africanize the South, AID because
he is as honest as he is brave.
A united and patient Democracy
is the only hope for the South. [
see this plainly and 1 have the
courage to acknowledge l have
been wroag.
