Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1892-09-01
The notorious S, Ohio Wilson, of

Third party voraclous Official appe.
tite, was in the city Monday night
holding a close conference with
"Gov." Exum, Postmaster Jno. R
Smith, Maj. II. L. Grant, and Other
leaders of the Third party and the
Republican party. The conference
lasted till past midnight and was
very elaborate as to the ground GOV.
cred. The conferrees discussed every
phase of the situation, and formulated
their insidious plans of campaign,
They are mutually allied-the Re
publican party and the Third party,
and il due time TIE ARGUS will ex-
pose their pertidious schemes. Demo
Gratis would need to be vigilant, pa
triotic and aggressive.
The meeting of the Cleveland and
Carr Campaign Club of Goldsboro
township in the court house in this
city Thursday night was the most
thronged and enthusiastic yer know n
here. 1t so happened that a number
of visitors from other counties of
the State and from other States were
present and every n of. them
expressed themselves as truly I'm
pressed ind gratifed at the "get up
and get" manifested by the -Four
Cs" of this township. The club is
in for business from now till No
vember and is loaded for war. The
| speech Of Mr.. JAS. Pou, of SmithfeId,
who was in the city for the evening,
was highly enjoyed and heartily ap-
plauded.
WELL, we'll, what are we coming
to? Is the Third party a party of
Anarchists and blood-thirsty law
| breakers or not: Their 3tate organ,
the PROGRESSIVE Farmer, warns the
Democrats that if their speakers are
interrupted by searching" or Gun
comfortable" questions, that funer-
ais will follow. The Clinton Cau-
~casian, Marion Buffers paper,
follows and says that it Is a
fight of the farmers against
the towns, and warns the town
people that if the Third party
fails to carry their points by the
ballot they will use bullets. If this
is not anarchy what's ii? And do the
farmers endorse either the Progress
size Farmer or the Caucasian?
The city is billed for the appear
ance Of Barlow Bros Minstrels here
Saturday night, in the Messenger
Opera House. The st. Louis Post
Dispatch says Of the troupe IN a re-
cent Issue: "The company is an ex-
c%ellent one and the performance is
put on in splendid style. The "frst
part" is Of unusual excellence and
goes through with a dash and a
sparkle and all absence of the usual
chestnutty flavor that is refreshing.
The remainder Of the performance is
replete with oddities and %uproarious
fun. A big house greeted the com
pany last evening, and the perform
ance given should serve to pack the
house at the three remaining per
formances."
CDR. EXUM is a large farmer, "a
practicing country physician. He is
about 81 years of age, a man of fine
appearance, and will weigh about
100 pounds"-ChntOn Caucasian.
1t would seem from the aboye that
President Butler has a very mild at
tack Of admiration for his candidate.
It is we'll for the interest of truth
that he should confine himself 70 an
enumeration of the occupation, ap-
pearance and freight of the Third
Party candidate. 1t would haye been
unwise to have furnished a catalogue
Of mental or moral qualities. The
ARGUS, while differing at many
points from President Butler, com
mends his moderation in this in
stance. He probably knew what the
subject was capable of standing.
In this city Thurday, in the pres
ence of a crowd of reputable gentle
men on Walnut street, whose names
can be had, and who will make aft
davit to his exact language, DIR.
Pat. Exum made and repeated this
statement: 81 would rather see
negro rule or anything in North
Carolina than wnat We have
now". In the face of such an
expression as this from the Third
Party candidate for Governor is there
a white man in Goldsbore-is there
a white man in Wayne county-is
there a white man in North Carolina
with a single spark of racial pride in
his bosom who would descend so low
as to hold converse again with Pat.
Exum? He has shown tie cloven
foot at last. Mark him, and let. him
pass on to the odious oblivion that
is before him, with none so devoid of
principle as to speak to him e in
