ing Huntersville the non-alliance and
alliance d mocrats went in on the same
footing-fhat is to say as democrats
pure and simpIe-and there is no like
lihood of any 'capturing" being done
in the county convention here next |
week The good sense and conserva-
tlsm Of the sober mi AIDED people OF
Mecklrnburg have not deserted them
yet. At Huntersville, the alliance
went to the primary in body with
ready prepared tickets and carried the
day by storm.
The Wilkesboro Chronicle says:
Several very bright talks were made
at the convention. Mr.. Wright, the
alliance lecturer. stated that his democ-
racy was pure and true, and that he
went into the democratic convention
with no other purpose than to strictly
abid. its decisions. All the remarks
were conservative and conciliatory.
: The prevailing tenor of the remarks
was, that right and proper concessions
should be made to all shades ofopinion
within the democracy, but that under
no circumstances should the bedrock
principles of pure democracy be in any
: way compromised and if she tall let
her go down pure and untarnished,
sparkling as a diamond in the dust OF
defeat.
The Goldsboro Headlight says: The
democratic party still has control OF
: the Southern States and will continue
d to have, notwi hstanding the efforts
that are being made by the peoples
party, assisted by the republican par
ty, to destroy it. Its principles ap-
:. peal to The best judgment of the peo-
!, pie. The peoples party still has a
l. good deal Of strength in different parts
t OF the State, but it is losing ground
steadily. The more the farmers study
its platform the less inclined they are
" to have any thing TO do with it. Many
: of them were mislead by its promises
- and were honest in thinking it could
{ do them great deal of good. They
= have now found out their mistake and
are anxious to correct it.
ie The Red Spring Comet says: The
IS press of North Carolina with great
10 unanimity has, "shown its colors.
le True to the interests of the great demo
- cratic party, true to the interest o
10 the people, it has unfalteringly adhered
to the creed as taught by the grea
If leaders. The editors in the State as {
w general rule have sounded bug
w of warning against disappointed office
D. seekers and blatant demogogues wh(
n are trying to disrupt the solid South
I'd and thereby turn over the State to the
tender mercies of our bitterest foes
They have been true to the instinct OF
~ their race, and done everything tha
mortals could do to avert the evil
80 that will surely follow in the train of
-. divided people.
u. The editor of the Maxton Uniol
he and Scottish Chief says: We are an al
lianceman; have been member f.
u g. ars, and believe in its principle
~ and its demands We are also dem
~ ocrat, first last and all the time, an
=. We seriously object to Icing classed a
~, 3 a third partyite or anything else othe
- than an old line democrat. 1t is ou
honest belief that the reforms whic
we advocate as alliance-men mu-
come through the democratic party
IN We could have no better State or lt
nd cal government than the democrati
l. party has given MS, and any man c
II ordinary sense knows that the demo
'ed cratic party of the South is not re
m. sponsble ei her for the action or no
OF action of the democrats of the Nortl
tor nor for the evil F ederal legislation pt
upon US by our life long enemy, th
In Republican party.
