The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1893-05-18

estly desired 10 see the election law
made honest why did it not write
this article while the Legislature was
in session. But the Messenger does
not want the law changed. 1t wants
the Democrats to have chance TO
steal another Legislature.
Can the people trust a rogue to
pass laws against stealing! No. The
people will never trust in power again
the gang that prostltuted the ballot
on last November.

In another column will be found
an article headed, "The contract
has not yet been signed" copied
from The North CaroIinian. We did
not make extracts from il, but give
the article in full, 50 that every read
or Of THE CAUCASIAN may see, and
know, to what desperate straights
the untruthful partisan press has
been driven.
FOi weeks and months, we have
been arrai-ging boss lule and ma
chine methods in North Carolina,
and exposing the outrageous frauds
committed in the last election, I'M
der the cover Of a law conceived in
dishonesty to protect scoundrels who
prostituted the ballot box.
We have dealt in facts and figures,
that could not be denied, and have
presented arguments that were UNI
answerable. At least not a single
machine paper, has tried to disprove
the facts We have given, or even at
tempted to answer our arguments,
with arguments.
The guilty parties and those who
are enjoying the fruits of an
i'll gotten victory, have WINGED
terribly under the severe castigation
we have been giving them. and
borne their discontinue in silence.
As we have said, no attempt to re-
ply has been made. But on the 9TH
er hand, desperate efforts have been
put forward by certain class Of
newspapers to draw attention from
the exposures that we are making,
and to side track and draw TIE eau
CAsIAN off into a discussion of other
issues, and notwithstanding itself
against imaginary charges and base,
and cowardly insinuations.
As a proof of this we ask you to
read the article clipped from the
North Carolinian. That article is
not only basely untrue, and witten
without a particle of foundation or
evidence, but IL as you will see, a
low partisan appeal to prejudice. In
fact it is written because the Editor
cannot answer our arguments, and
is making haste to prejudice the
minds Of the people, so that they
will not weigh the facts which we
are publishing, and demand an ex-
PLANTATION.
You will see that the Carolinian
writes out supposed contract.
(Which it states, is only verbal and
not yet signedD between J. C. Logan
Harris, and other Republicans on
the one part, and The Caucasian
and certain Alliance men, and re-
formers on the other part. You
will see that in its comments upon
the supposed contract, that the
Carolinian uses the following lam
guage:
The fact that J. C. Logan Har-
ris, veteran Republican, is the cor
respondent of The Caucasian, and
furnishes four, five or six columns of
correspondence in one issue, all
abusive of the Democratic party is
evidence to the blindest of this per-
feet understanding that foreshadows
their union. On every page
there are the ear marks of j. c. Lo-
gan Harris, Secretary or Ex-Secre-
tary of the Republican executive
committee, who spent several days
OF the previous week in Washing
ton City, and evidently prepared
the Jonathan Edwards letters
which appears in the Caucasian"
To make short, the whole matter,
and to show up the Carolinian, and
such newspapers in their true light
before the honest fair minded people
of North Carolina, we simply state,
that every charge made by. The Caro-
llnlan in this article, is base, cow
ardly, and unmittingated falsehood,
from beginning to the end.
To be more specific, we will state,
that Mr.. J. C. Logan Harris has new
er written single line for The eau
CAsIAN, and in fact we did not know
that he had resigned the position
which we were informed he had on
one of the Raleigh Democratic Dali
lies.
10 be mere specific again, we will
state, that the Jonathan Edwards"
letters written from Washington City,
were written by man who has ney-
er voted a Republican ticket. The
same is true of the Raleigh letters,
signed lone of the People,"
Now to the fair minded people of
