Caro1inian's Duty,
Pulaski, Va, Nov 18
DEAR ARGUS:-Slnce [ was
home on the 9Th and gave my
time and energy to aid in brings
ing about our splendid victory, I
have been beseiged with congrat
ulations on all sides, and [ look
back to that days work with
pride. It was the united efforts of
all Democrats, of all white men
who saw whittier we were drift
ing, whether they had strayed
off by Buffers willy cry Of COR
ruption in the Democratic party,
Or whether from apathy that had
caused them to feel that it was
not a personal matter TO them,
but whatever the cause that kept
them away in the past they were
aroused; their efforts had been
called out by State Chairman
Simmons and County Chairman
O'Berry aud our children will
reap the reward Of their leading
and our following and, Of united,
unbroken phalanX ia the press
ence Of our once common, but
now defeated enemy. Yes, [ am
rejoicing and am being congratu
lated on all sides. 1t is peculiarly
time fer rejoicing to me. My
business of commercial traveller
being such that the major portion
of my time I am compelled to be
away from home. I rest assured
now that my family are fully
protected, and that no harm can
befall them when the strong arm
of Democracy, white supremacy
and honest government is the
common heritage once again of
our grand old State, when a
mans home is protected by the
majesty of the law in his absence
as he would with his own strong
arm, and which in some instances
had become the only safety of
the home. Under the misrule of
Russell-Butlers Fusion, two more
years of such misdeeds and all of
us who could not remain at home
the year round would have been
compelled to leave our native
State to have felt that our homes
were protected. Such being my
feelings | want to let every other
person who aided in bringing
about our victory know that I am
rejoicing and feel that lam am
ply repaid for travelling three
hundred miles, as I did, to vote
and take part in the great battle.
The great responsibility of the
past misdeeds of fusion should
rest where they belong; and while
they have been written in letters
Of blood, yet who is responsible
for it? Would that Infamous ne>
gro have written his "Record"
editorial if Marion Butler had
not made his Rocky Mount
speech? if negroes had not been
put on committees of our State
Institutions for whites? and Rus
sell had not given political pres
ferment to illiterate negroes
wherever he could as a reward
for past or promised aid to him?
To the sturdy yeomanry who
strayed away but who came back
to Democracy, we should not
give other than the warmest well
come. But to these disturbers Of
the peace-whlle teaching the in
ferior race by kindness, if they
will permit US, that they cannot
rule the Caucasian-let US teach
Russell, Butler. and the
others Of that gang that North
Carolina has no use for them and
| that they are political stencil
forever where the sanctity Of
home and the protection Of our
womanhood, at any cost, is held
as the sublime mission of North
Carolina manhood.
Yours truly,
