,,.,.n .rtter to Charlotte Observer
June 49,
Totae members OF the State Board
Of Agriculture.
Slrs In the recent State campaign
the Democratic party made the can
v,ss largely on the issue OF white
,npremacy,' and invited every white
man 10 Din in the effort TO re deem the
safe from negro rule. The invita-
non was promI tly accepted by men
Of every former shade Ct political
opipion and they have right to ex.
meet that henceforth the States gov
srnment would be clean that decent
men only would be put into Office
and that they could again look with
nride 10 pure and prosperous admin
s,rs,on. How are these anticipa-
tons being realized
AT your recent election one Hill j.
Reed, of this (Perquimans) county,
was chosen fertilizer inspector. You
could not have selected from our
nils. man Of more despicable char
scter. For years ne has lived in con-
cublnage with negro strumpets, and
has kept his negro offspring in
social contact with his wife, an estip-
able lady, whom he has Inundated
and made miserable by his vile con-
duet. He has done more to encourage
miscegenation shan any other in
auence and by his outrageous con-
duct has detied the law and public
sentiment and placed himself, with
out the pale Of human sympathy,
and his elevation to % flee is a dis
grace to civilization.
| am sorry you knew nothing of
his character, but relied upon the
Endorsement of q prominent politician
Of this community, who alone stands
for this man and for him the plea of
poverty and therefore needs the
Cfice. 1t is true he is poor, but the
party cannot afford to endorse q man
without character, because he is
poor. He has become poor because
he has spent his means, which were
ample for his comfortable support,
in the qualification of his vile and
unchecked passions with disgracefu,
associations, and instead of making
him the custodian of the party's
honor, he ought to be rebuked and
held as an example of the reaping OF
the wbirlwind.
! do not write You, gentlemen
from personal considerations, but in
the interest of purity in politics.
write that you may know the truth
and that from your positions YOU
may call halt in this disgracefu
matter and thereby relieve the party
from a a responsibility which, if no
Populated, will in future campaign
be pressed to it's attention in ,
manner that will cause it to hang it
head in shame and demoralize it, be
cause of its gross inconsistency.
Respectfully,
w. T. MCMILLAN.

The above appeared in q Demo
cratic newspaper, written by Dem
peratic pen, concerning Democrati
appointment to office of q Demo
prahc bowler in the last campaign
I MUST BE TRUE.
All glory to the man who ha
manhood enough to come out boldl
Ind state the facts. This man Rec
md men of his class were "rin
leaders, of the white supremac
howlers last fall. No white mar
however hone st and good in mora
he ght be that voted against til
Democratic party was called an!
hing but low down, nigger-hear
pa brute, masquerading as a whit
nan. Now, in the sober momen
when honest men in the Democrat
party cody survey the field, sec whs
hey find.
We do not know what Mr.. Rec
FiIl say in his defence, but if he wi
pull precedent as shown heret
ore by the leaders of the Dem CORA
party, they will either let him r
main where he is, or begin a revol
Ion that has been long needed
hat party.
White supremacy" was the 81
an OF the last campaign; many pc
le were honest in the cry, but VIII
ne thing was analy z,d and su
len as named were found amo
ne leaders in the cry, 1t was but t
lain that it was not for the welfs
! the people of North Carolina th
MS was raised, not for Good &c
fnment, but simply to put in off
lot OF men who could not max,
wing otherwise. Good Cover
lent' white supremacy" followe
one out as Mr.. Mcmillan has do
na condemn the men that have d
ppolnted and fooled you TO [
our votes that you might help s.
'ort some men who have no m
SO Tor the government of No
|aroiina, except for what they
VI OF IT, than a cat fish has for sn,
balls.
we are sorry that such people
wen prominence in the Old No
tate, we are not gloating over
natter, but we are glad to see sc
pen willing to expose even Il
'"n party's Hypocrisy.
