they now quote from him in proof that
twenty years ago he was a bitter soc.
tionalist. He stands now for the samo
reforms he advocated eighteen years
ago, when he, among the very few
discovered that the war was over and
buried his bitter sectionaIism. He i
a patriotic, heightened Christian gen.
tleman statesman and scholar, the peer
of any other candidate. Still the Fra
Press rants upon him as follows:
HE has been a Republican, Green
hacker, a Democrat, a Third party
man. It appears that he has beer

has changed his views to suit the trend
! of the times, and the times have beer
tickle indeed. If he has been guided
by conviction, he is vacillating AMI
weak minded. We prefer to give hin
credit for having some sense. Thenh
is a demagOgue.
He is a narrow minded man: hi
| patriotism is confined within sectiona
lines. He isa dirty mOuthed politician
of the lowest type.
1--WE dislike to have to say thes
things. We do not believe in abuse
and wenever indulge in blackguardism
We are simply outlining this candi
dates character. 1t sounds Ike abuse
but it is not, we never stOOp that low
His whole career, his votes, hi
speeches, his vile denunciatiOns 0
the South are such that we cannO
understand how any North Carolinian
who has any respect for himself, cal
vote for him.
HAS the heart of the patriot grow
| cold? Have the old memories beer
Obliterated? Are we to witness tn
sad spectacle of Southern white me-
going to the polls and casting theI
ballots for a man who lied about them
who slandered, villified, even curse
and damned the man who fought 70
their homes, their honor and theI
liberty"
Now we will ask in conclusion Wha
| genuine reformer who has pledged
himself solemnly to vote for no man
nor party who does not support an
promise to advocate our principles a
laid down in the St. Louis and tn
Omaha platform. How q you b
longer influenced by such vile stuff a
the above except to forever forsake I'll
party guilty of such, and throw you
vote and your influence with thos
who are fighting not to keep alive tn
bitter sectional hatred of the past, bu
are fighting for principles, for a unltet
country, for a government Of the PEG
pie, for the people and by the people
to free ourselves and our offspring
from plutocracy's CALLING chains, 10
