ADDENDA.
We commend our judicial ticket
to all Democratic voters as now con-
stiCuted, the majority Of the Supreme
Court, is an indispensable part Of the
States election machinery. Il part
san law without a partisan court to
interpret it would be practically
valueless. The distinguished Judge,
Hon. 4. G. Avery, who prepared and
delivered the opinion in Garrias vs.
Scarboro, and who afterwards rem
dercd invaluable service to the State
committee, will be a prominent can
didate before The Legislature for
election to the United States Senate.
1t is due his eminent services in the
campaign Of IS92-when grave
crisis confronted the party-that the
Judicial ticket should be enthusiast
ticaIly supported.
n. b. Another matter Of prime
Importance which prudential reasons
was not adyerted to by the commit
tee IN its public address, is the rail
road question. Democratic policy
was settled years ago in the safe Of
the Western North Carolina K. Il.
and emphasized later in the benelici-
ent disposition IN the Cape Fear x
1adhin Valley road. The Western
road was transferred to a foreign
capitalist without money, and this
magnificent property costing the
State millions of dollars, is now own
ed and operated by a New York
syndicate. The Cape Fear Il lad-
Kin Valley road projected rs North
Carolina enterprise and surrendered
by the State to North Carolinians
without pecuniary consideration, has
passed into the hands of receiver
and beyond the jurisdiction Of our
State courts.
The mortgages are New York and
English capitalists, and it is only a
question of time when this distinct
lively North Carolina enterprise will
have passed under foreign control.
a question of the present however
and it is momentouSly important
the disposition to be made Of the
North Carolina Il. Il.
The lease Of the Richmond K Dan.
Vile Il. T., now the Southern Rail
way, expires in 1900. What imme
diaIe consideration will be given the
proposition to extend it is not known
ut this time, but the fact that oven
so railroad attorneys have beef
nominated fol the LEGISLATURE il
significant.
