RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, In the matter of the re-
cent sale of bonds of Moore county,
it appears from the record In the Of
flee of the Register of Deeds of said
county, that the bid of w. J. Ed
wards, Sanford, n. c., for $1,000 of
said bonds, at the rate of his bid
amounted to S7,14O, and the rate of
the bid of Seasongood & Mayer, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, for the same bonds
Amounted to S7,516,25, and accrued
Interest, amounting to S116,66s, and
the rate of the bid of W.. j. Hayes &
Sons, of Cleveland, Ohio, for the
same bonds, amounted to $1,000, and
accrued interest, amounting to $116,-
66S, and the rate of the bid of Deni-
son, Prior & Co., of Cleveland, Ohio,
for the same bonds amounted to
7,5Os,5O.
And whereas, By said record it
also appears that the Board of Com
missioners of said county sold said
bonds to said w. J. Edwards, at the
price bid by him as aforesaid, not
withstanding the same was the low
est bid offered, thereby losing to the
taxpayers of Moore county S376,25,
if the bonds had been sold to Season.
lgoOd & Mayer, and $3.50, if the same
had been sold to w. J. Hayes & Sons,
and S36S,5O, if the same had been
sold to said DenisOn, Prior & Co.,
and this, without taking into account
the 81 1868 accrued interest, which
should have been paid by said w. j.
Edwards, and about which the said
record seems to be silent; now thre-
, fore,
Be it resolved by the Peoples
Party of Moore county in Conven-
tion assembled:
l. That we unhesitatingly con-
g denim the said transaction as a crime
against the taxpayers of Moore
county.
II. That we condemn the Demo
cratic party of Moore county for
winking at such crime simply be
cause said Board of Commissioners
were members of that party. While
falling to renominate single mem
ber of said Board of Commissioners
the failure Of that party to condemn
by fit and proper resolutions in its
] recent County Convention, said crime
+ was well known to the members OF
+ that party, and to the delegates tC
e said Convention, and first exposed
: by expressions from Democrats, il
e evidence OF the fact that said party
$ desired rather to condone than t.
t condemn said offense.
i Resolved by the Peoples Party O
Il Moore county in convention Assem-
# bled:
II That we most earnestly endOrs'
is the splendid course and the wis
, and untiring efforts of the Hon. Ma
. rion Butler in the United State
Senate in behalf of the whole peopl
,r of the United States and especial.
n of the people of the State of Mort
IS Carolina, and challenge those VIII
y oppose his reelection to point GU
Of one failure of duty or one objectio
D, to his splendid record.
We point with pride to the fat
H. that he is the open candidate of til
r. Peoples Party for reelection to sal
ut exalted Office having been formal
tx declared so by said party of Mort
of Carolina in convention assemble'
nd while the effort of the Democrat
ch party is to cowardly keep their ca
,u- didate behind the curtains until aft
the legislature has been electe
mo- thereby requiring the members
nd that party to blindly vote for son
- man whose name and character
,t them is unknown and as to who
~, fitness for said office the ordina
,w voter is not allowed to judge.
