We re-af1irm our allegiance to the
principles Of Republicanism and our
united support to the nominees OF the
National Republican convention soon
ia be held in ST. Louis, as set forth in
the National platform of 1892,
Inasmuch as every candid man IN
the Republican party comedies the
nomination of William Mckinley for
President and inasmuch as every in
9eIligent man in every party already
comedies his election, we feel that our
National interests are safe, that our
candidates character and life work
are the best platform every presented
to the American people, having no
fears for the fate of ldhe nation we
feel that the vital and paramount issue
for North Carolinians in this cam
Daign is the preservation OF the great
reforms enacted into law by the last
General Assembly, to-wit: local self
government and honest elections;
these great measures should bind to-
oether all honest and patriotic men
who fought together in 1894 Ia the
grand and glorious battle ending I'D
the overwhelming defeat of bourbon
Democracy. We fought then TO gam
these principles, we must fight now
ia maintain them. No differences as
TO questions Of currency and questions
of tariff should deter us from stand
ing together for the right preserN-
alive of all rights, the right TO vote
and lave that vote honestly count
ed. we warn our voters that II the
Ro4lrl5ons once more gain control OF
the state we may bid final farewell
to this the greatest right OF freemen
and expect that the South Carolina
ar Mississippi plan Of heartless dis
franchisement of the poor and aned-
ncated will be Incorporated mfo Lhe
organic law of North Carolina within
90 DAYS after the return OF the bolI-
bons. God spare us from sHeh . Idle.
