YES. NJ ARE "ON TO" 1HtiR GAME
Last week we called upon the
county and township chairmen to 20
before the county commissioners on
the frst Monday in September ard
to name the men that they wanted
to represent them as poll holders at
the coming election, and further 10
call upon them to appoint the men
selected according to the spirit ana
letter of the law.
This seems to have aroused and
excited the Democratic machine
from one end Of the State to the other.
One paper cried out that we were
calling for "ReliabIes." The RAJ
leigh correspondent of the Whining
ton Messenger said that the "commls-
gjoncrs would not be- inundated (to
do right and to obey the law but
that they would appoint just who
they pleased regardless Of the wlshts
of any body but the Democratic ma
chine.
The Charlotte Observer also gets
excited and says:
Evidently Mr.. Butler is on to their the
Democrats) game and We put him on no
tice that after the election We shall expect
him to SEE to ii that indictments are found
in the courts against the Democrats who
corrupt the elections" and also against the
Popuhsts and Republicans whom they cor
Cupt 1t Will not do to say that, the COURT
being Democratic, convictions cannot be Sc
cured. Mr.. Butler knows that mere i'll
dictment for 4 criminal offense constitute:
almost rs much of II disgrace as does c0nvic
ton: and besides, the verdict of jury is
very uncertain thing and there is no telling
hut what some of these COnspirators NIGH
by chance be convicted if the cases agains
them were vigorously pushed. At all event
IT is worth the effort, and as Mr.. Butler al
ready knows that these crimes are calculated
he will be without excuse if he does not for
tify himself with evidence of their commits
sion"
Yes, we are son to- your game ant
we intend to have every ballot boy
suffer indicted and sent to the pen
itentiary if possible. And this Ii
why we want and need at least two
men selected by the Peoples party
for poll holders at each voting place
in the State who can furnish the
evidence to convict the ballot
thieves. But if the commissioner
refuse to obey the spirit and letter
of the law how will it be possible fol
anybody to know what is done by
the ballot jugglers? A man selected
from the Peoples party by the com
missioners is not representative Of
the party. The Democrats selec
the men to represent their party an(
the Peoples party should and mus
select the men to represent us TO
otherwise we would not be represent
ed according to the spirit of the law
Now let the Charlotte Observer sa,
whether or not it is in favor of tn,
Just and fair thing? Let it sa,
whether or not it is in favor of tn
commissioners appointing the men
at least two for each voting place, Sc
lected by us for poll holders?
The Observer says that if the bal
lot box thieves cannot be conyicte,
before the courts, that We can a
least indict them, and that woul,
bring almost as much disgrace a
sending them to the penitentiary
But We will inform the Observer
that it will be we'll to make SOM
changes in the Solicitors in orde
that indictments may always b
made. How can a Solicitor or
Judge be expected to attack his owl
title to the office that he holds? 4
Judges title to office should be a
spotless as the ermine he wears
