disorganizing concern, being published
by few individuals who seem to think
of nothing but their own importance and
aggrandizement, and edited by an ire
sponsible upstart, who represents only

date and denounce the writer of it as a
mischief making simpleton, and declare
that he represents and expresses only his

that our party not only did not endorse
the article, but condemned it equally as
strongly as they did,
And 50 it appears that the Republican
plainly says that it is designed to serve
the interests of the Democratic party.
Some Populists are publicly quoted as
saying that the negro defamer and SLAM
derer ought to be asked to leave the State.
But nothing of this kind comes from
the Democratic machine or its press.
Their tool is too valuable to them, in their
own estimation, to be repudiated or de-
nounced or asked to leave the State. Their
only course is to manifest the greatest
glee over their success in securing SO
much to talk about, and to roll the edi-
tOrial as a sweet morse1 under their
tongues y!
In all the history of newspaperdom in
:. this State there has been only one instance
of vile SANDER that can parallel this. That
instance is the editorials and column arti.
cles of the News and Observer in malev-
olently and Indignantly charging that
the daughter of Sheriff Aldridge, of Pam.
leo county, was the victim and paramou1
of negro man, with wretched results.
This disreputable, lying sheet thus perpe-
trated SANDER on the white women OF
the State far more foul and vil1ainous, if
possible, than anything contained in the
base editorial of the negro paper; and it
is possible that the machine press, or a
part of it at least, aided and abetted the
News and Observer in its immeasurable
infamy. The two pap;rs the negro pa
per and the News and Observer-thus
appear to be TWO OF A KIND-GRoSs, IN
DECENT, FOUII-MOUTHED sLANDERERS.
Both are the agents and tools of satanic
Vaccination. The same genius of low,
opprobrious SANDER that inspired one in
spired the other to the utterances made.
An equality of damnable insolence is
clearly shown by the two, and they are
simply twins in defamation.
These parallel cases bring up reflec-
ton. When the News and Observer ut
tered its unrestrained and barba:ous SIAN
der on the white women, why did not The
Democratic machine press arise and pour
out its Walls of wrath and condemnation
on that sheet? All The purposes of the
machine could not have been subserved
by such course And so it seems that a
white man may, by grace Of the machine
press, 60 uncondemned and unscathed
for attempting to calumniate and dishonor
white women! This goes to a point of
baseness and depravity beyond which
there is no descent What wolfsh, dew
ilish, 6endish hypocrisy is portrayed by
such a course!!
