IL republican and Third Party Coah-
ton.
Here in North Carolina we have a
repetition of the same combination which
has Just met with such signal Oefeat IN
Arkansas, Florida and Georgia.
The disguise behind which this com
bination seeks to veil its purposes is too
transparent to deceive, and only adds to
the compact the odious feature Of con
spiracy.
Between the leaders of the third party
and those of the republican party there
is undoubtedly perfect understanding
and entire harmony and concert,
although. erstwhile, from motives OF
shrewd policy, they fain would conceal
this fact from their followers. There no
longer remains any reasonable doubt
that the republican party is their ulti-
mate goal, but, in order the more sue
cessfully to carry with thrm into 1T the
rank and file of their followers, who are
in the main plain but honest people,
thev are with characteristic cunning
prosecuting their tortuous journey clan
destnely and by easy relays.
Therefore at every step in this transi
tion we hear them boldly proclaiming
one day what they have either denied or
suppressed on the day previous; and
such, doubtless, will mark its progress
i've development to the end. Starting
out with professions of extreme fidelity
to the true principles of democracy,
the now openly avow their purpose to
defeat and overthrow those principles
and the party which alone stands for
chem
With vain and illusory promises of
i'm practicable benefits and reliefs they
| induced these people to renounce their
! allegiance to the party in which they
were born and raised, and to which they
owe 50 much, and now when the work Of
separation has been completed, of all
these gltteting rewards promised they
only offer the miserable plttance of an
increase in the currency of thirty cents
| per capita.
Shrewdly, indeed, have these plotters
| paved the way TO say to their followers
Alas. you caunot go back TO the Demo
! cratic party-our schemes have all prov
ed visionary and iiusory-behold the
doors of the republican, party open unto
US let us enter.
If the we'll meaning and honest MT
who are now In this movement are askeC
to dav TO embrace Harrison and Reid
Harrison, the monOmetallst, the hlgl
priest of protection and the foster fathe
of the Force bill; Reid, the prototypt
monOpolist, millionaire and plutocrat-

from the contact; but will they do it or
the day of election?
No time will be lost and no OppOrtuu
ity spared between now and then in in
flaming them to that pitch of blind ant
unreasonlng hatred Of the democrac
necessary for reckless deeds, and then
ia the funess of time, unless all sign
fail, they will be boldly invited to tn
revolving feast. Will they accepl? W
will see what we will see.
The efforts being made by this mon
grel combination to defeat our State an
legislative ticket ought not to succeed
because the candidates we have nom
mated for these positions are men abov
reproach, and there is no complaint eve
from our adversaries against the admin
istration of our local aft airs by the demo
cratic party. No reason even approx
mating plausibility is assigned by an
one why the change should be made
While, on the other hand, the black r.
cord Of 1868 is al all sufficient reaso
why we should not again place our HON
affairs in the hands of the republica
party or any other organization IN coal
tion with it.
