sueeEsTIONs TO REPUBLICAN
SO LEADERS.

L.rod in the Asheville Register (Rep }
few weeks ago. We give it without
lament and will allow our readers to
Sraw their own COZ illusions:
II ia a fact that the manufacturing,
lining. banking and railroad wealth
~ North Carolina is in sympathy with
tbe principles and policies Of the Ma
.ionsl R publican party; and that it
INST rely on that party in the future,
a. in the past, for protection in the en-
i,vmeut OF its inherent and just rights,
cannot be controversial. Organism, an
odmixture of Democracy and Popu
ism. is it's mortal enemy in both State
and Nation. 1t cannot expect even
simple Justice from a political organ
iz,rion indoctrinated with the issues
n anarchy, though that justice be
thought by the elevation Of the leaders
n such party to place and power.
This truth has been demonstrated over
and often, but never more clearly than
bv the vicious legislation Of the last
General Assembly. If the Republican
leaders will bestir themselves, and en-
list the active support Of this invested
wealth the party will assuredly win in
the election next year, and by acting
N good faith, one victory will tread
rnon the heels of another. We invite
me reader to a review Of some facts.
In 1894 this great factor in the de
7slopmenU Of North Cardinals re
sjurces, having had a taste Of Demo
cracy as manifested by Clevelandism
tscitly, i not overtIy, endorsed the Rs
publicans aud their plan Of campaign,
snd all rejoiced in the glorious victory
which followed. In 1896, it feared the
results of Organism would be more
blighting than had been those of Cleve
landism, end openly supported Nc
Einley and the party in the State, and
the hearts Of all loyal Republicans
we're again made glad by another
sweeping success at the polls. This
great ir flence had at last allied itself
With the State party. The Legislature
1885 had demonstrated the fact that
the State was not only safe under Re
publican rule, but was better governed
than ever before. All interests and
people we're justly protected.
But unfortunately for the party in
the next fight, one Of our leaders, in
Ozicated with a SUCCESS for which he
vas not responsible, alienated the sup
port, drove it from the roof under
which it had sought shelter. Democ
racy took advantage of this series o.
blunders. This invested capita was
not only promised that it should re
ce7e iustice, but more than justice at
the hands of the Democratic party.
The Influence thus wooed was won;
and the result was published last NJ
7embar.
But Democracy could not be true to
its pledges-as usual it repudiated
them. When it met in red shirts in
Raleigh last January, it was too
drunk on negroism to perceive tie
cause which produced the effect, and
TOO satuased with Organism to do jus
:ice to anything which wore clean
linen.
Not only were nc burdens removed.
but others added which had never
09an dreamed of by the ruling power
two years before; not only was justice
not done, but in justice which is over
reaching the intended victims, and
spreading its blight all over the State.
The way is now open for the Repub
Means to again secure the influence OF
THIS wealth. That it will support Nc
A!niey against Bryan on the next cam
paIgn is not a question; and that the
State Democracy will be in perfect
sympathy and accord with Bryan and
organism is accepted by all "a
matter Of fact. He who opposes
5tyanism in the Nation will
not support it in the State if the
opposition is strictly in line with tie
National Republican party, and has
aameaned itself so as to inspire conf
aence in its integrity; therefore if the
republicans desire to enlist this great
power in the next campaign and there
alter, let it be understood once for all
nat henCeforth and forever the party
u North Carolina will be in harmony
Win the National organic alton and
'oat corporate wealth and private clti
]n shall alike receive the blessings Of
s2od government, and alike bear it's
BURDENS.
