THE PRINTING BUSINESS AGAIN.

THE PRINTING BUSINESS AGAIN.
1t seems that joe daniels, the bloodless
error above the sod, who allowed his
dead father beneath the sod TO be abused
and maligned to his own face, is again to
be made public printer. But at - per
cent less than during the past six years
he has lived off the tax. payers of North
Carolina.
1t is a really charming and sublime
spectacle to see a little migrate and tax
eater like joe daniels accepting a posi-
ton which he has heretofore held on full
pay at s. cents on the dollar.
We would like to know how he can
explain his conduct. If he can accept
the position today at Is per cent. less
than he could two years ago, he must
nave illimitable gall to confess that he
has been all along extorting money, and
lots of it, from the impoverished tax
payers of North Carolina.
The News & Observer, which must be
admitted TO be a singularly conservative
newspaper, says that there has been bad
faith in the letting of this contract, and
that it is informed
That four members of the printing
committee will positively refuse to sign
a contract for the printing under this
action. They are MEssRs. w. III. DAY.
w. II. KITCHIN, TAYLOR of Hartford
and LONG of Alamance. MIR. DAY stated
to The News and Observer that the
designations of these gentlemen would
be rendered before a contract as
designated would be signed. Mr. DAY
also stted that MEssRs. EDWARDS &
BROUGHTON and Mr.. E. NJ. UzZELL
having stated that this was the least fig
ure at which the printing could be done
there would be apparent duplicity in let
ting the printing to Mr.. Daniels at the
same price, he sub-letting it to either one
of these firms. Mr.. DAY declared that
there had been bad faith, and that he
would resign his seat in the senate be.
fore he would be a willing party to it."
Now then we would like to ask the
members of the legislature why is it that
they insist and persist in flirting with
the outrageous and infamous printing
bill.
Why is it that this man joe daniels,
who is dishonored and unhung, should
attach his ample lip to the public teat
and insist on his sustenaace at the peo-
pies expense.
Although joe daniels is beneath the
contempt of a comparison, we would
like to ask this same crowd of legislative
asses which buzz around his tallow dip
what the little republican and populist
and anything to get there, has ever done
to entitle him TO political recognition
were he placed in the balances with men
like AsHE or JERNIGAN or KINGsBURY
or CALDWELL.
In season and out of season these men
have fought ~valiantly and nobly and
bravely for the success of the democratic
party. They have never wavered in
their battle. They are of the kind of
metal which will fight whole hearted to
the end.
And yet a democratic Legislature, with
a precedent for years established before
it sits upon these dauntless warriors
and fawns before a nasty little brat who
has been all things TO all men, and who
did more with the paper he wrecked and
which JERSIGAN has rebuilded, TO dis
rupt, corrupt and demoralize the demo-
cratic party than any other miserable
existence that has had lungs and could
breathe.
When, as an infamous imposture, came
the third party in it's woolvine and red
nouthed famine, painting and frothing
for spoils alone, and its letter of recon-
mendation q rotten and dishonest theory.
