Wilmington Star.
S. Ohio Wilson may not be en-
titled to any particular credit for
his fight against the bosses who
are running the Republican and
Populists combine in this State,
but he strikes a solid chunk of
truth sometime in his editorials in
The Hayseeder. Ohio was for
sometime one of the bosses him
self, but he got tangled up with
Marion Butler and Governor Rus
sell, and the two to one-a teavy
weight and a light weight-wers
too much for him. They got him
down but they couldn't prevent
him from kicking and ~s'sassing'
bpca which he continues to do
from week to week in his paper,
and orally, as the opportunity
presents itself. But as we re-
marked, there is a good deal OF
truth in his ~osass'' and aside from
his own rough experiences, a good
deal of ground for his kicking.
The following we clip from an
editorial in last weeks issue, be-
cause there is truth in it and be-
cause it is also suggestive of some
things that Populist might
think of with some profit.
Discussing the efforts of Cover
nor Russell and Marion Butler to
form a new party Editor Wilson
says:
"Preferment has been given all
those who would prove PREACHER
u to their party and bow down
to the bosses, while the old guards
who we're Populists when the
bosses and their pets were either
skulking in their tents, planning
to steal your votes or trying to
hold you in line with your OPP
pressors. 1t is time that we all
be vigilant and watch the suspi-
cious moves and actions of those
that are trying to betray you with
a kiss, who, when they see failure
staring them in the face, will say
they were only fooling somebody
or playing politics. We have had
enough of this playing politics,
and it is time that we knew where
every man stands.'
I'VE appeal to every true Pop.
ulist to hold up the hands OF
those who are standing for unity
and to put your heel on the neck
of every man who is trying te
trade gou off"
How any thinking, respectable
Popolist can look back and cons
template the disgraceful scram-
BILE for places and the disgust
ing dickering by the patronage
distributors, without a feeling o.
disgust aud Indignation is one Of
the things we can't understand
especially since they cannot SET
any benefit to themselves (f they
have not benefited by the dick
ering) or for the people by. ths
support they have given the me-
who posed as their leaders. Ma
rion Butler has gone to the Sen
ate as one of the fruits Of TIT
miscegenation with the Republi'
cans, and Jeter Pritchard wen
to the Senate, cand Daniel l.
Russell became Governor a.
more of the fruits, and aLsgisla
ture was elected which was a dis
grace to North Carolina La al
the history of the party manipu
lations since there is visible n
good fruit nor anything of whicI
they as citizens Of North Carroll
ma may feel proud. The histor.
made since this combine cam
into power has been one of hu
initiation and degradation. Mi
Wilson does we'll to warn hi
people against being further be
trayed, but they would do bette
to get outside of the lines, an
JOIN the host of patriotic citizen
who are determined to cleans
the public places of the presenc
of these political buncoers an
place hunting dickerers, who ar
using better men for their ow
preferment.
