Your 'mparisons and contrasts
oI various co1nties and groups Of
counties are very Instructive and
useful in showing up the hypocri
cy and rascality OF the Simmons
machine in its subversion of free
government in North Carolina aud
the despotism 1t has enforced upon
the people and the damnable sham
there is in their excuse for such
-ubyersioD, but l have little faith
In suCh exhibitions working any
repentance among the gang or any
reiormation In conditions wrought
out by them. In the conflict that
IA going on in the consciences OF the
perpetrators Of the henious crime
against political liberty, there are
some small signs OF not going any
further with 1t, which Ia somewh hat

press Of tho State that loaned itself
70 the mob In the performance OF
this unholy determination of lib
erty and constitutional nulllfica-
tion have called halt, and with
these the Charlotte Obse rver, all
but tho ablest and about the mean
est daily paper In the State that adj
vocated the helllsh designs OF Sim
mons, Daniels and others upon free
government by the consent of the
governed, with great many less
influential papers, have also served
notice on Simmons, Daniels and
their co-oonspirators that this kind
OF business IN politics must go no
further. For one l have small faith
in the opposition being able to cope
with the traitors in charge OF the
craft OF state. One BY one those OPP
posing .he ring will be read out OF
the party and will be defied TO at.
tach themselves to any Othor party
and thus the d spotism will grow
stronger by aging itself and decli
