TO "RUN IT our OF THE STATE"

The Winston Republican squirms this
week under the exposures of Radical rule
N North Carolina. and is happy in the
predictions that this paper, which
it denounces for printing the scandals
Of Republican rule is to be run out OF
the State"
There is no doubt that the Republican,.
would rejoice to see the News and Oh
server run out Of the State" So would
every other apologist of Mck:nleyisfn
and Republicanism. The gang and
those who put then in power pour out
the Walls of their wrath against thiy
paper because it exposes the shame and
the scandals which Radical rule has
brought upon us.
Whatever else the News and Observer
is, the Radicals know it is their foe.
They dread it and they hate It. There
isn't little partisan Radical judge in
the State who does not denounce the
News and Observer because it exposes
their hypocrisy and ignorance. There
isn't corrupt official who does not hate
It because it gives details and facts of
his venality. There isn't a "nigger
trader who lives by manipulating the
negro vote who does not abuse the News
and Observer. There isn't a man who
voted for Mckinley, thus infiicting us
with negro postmasters, who is friendly
to it.. There isn't Populist, who fuses
with negroes and gold-bugs, who does
not bemean it because in its columns
his contemplate course is exposed.
If the Winston Republican and the
gangsjt helped to infiict upon the State
did not hate the News and Observer, the
good people of the State would not love
it. They. love the News and Observer
for the s'enemies it has made They
love it because it ferrets out the public
crime of canting and hypocritical public
servants, and because it makes the Win
ston Republican squirm and writhe.
1t may be interesting news to those
Radicals who are plotting with the Win
ston Republican 'to run the News and
Observer out of the State" to inform
them that the paper was never doing so
well, and has added more cash subscri
bers to its list during the present week
than in any week of its history, and that
for every Republican denunciation it
gets hundred concentrations from the
good people who are getting together ito
run out Of the State" the gang that the
Republican is defending. 1t is not the
News and Observer that is to be "run
out" but the McKinleyites and Rus
selites, with the Winston Republican
and the rest of the tribe that have
brought disgrace upon the Common
wealth.
The hostile spirit Of such papers as the
Winston Republican and others of its
ilk does the News and Observer great
good in that it advertises its devotion
TO the cause of good government. In
this connection, we may be pardoned for
clipping the following editorial from the
Statesville Mascot, which is so true a
Democratic paper that it is certain to
receive the displeasure of the Winston
Republican and its allies:
'The News and Observer has ar
ranged to put in larger presses in
order to be able to get off on the
earliest mails, and accommodate it's
very large patronage. The Mascot
is glad to see the prosperity of the
News and Observer and to see it
marching on to further success. 1t
is decidedly the ablest edited paper
in the State, and above all it is for
ever Democratic. Others may prove
faithless to the Democratic party
when it goes down to defeat. but
where ever the battle RACES the ferc-
est, there the loyal Democrats Of
North Carolina will find Joe Daniels
fighting in front for the party. 1t
is the duty of every true Democrat
in the State to hold up his hands
and lend him support"
