During the famous and infAmous
August camIaign Of 1900, q crrtAin
partisan Democratic -hct was bls--
phemous enough io refer to the
democratic candidate for Governor
a. .Iod like" and there Ma mo
criticism of that reference. Every
thing event" In thO-~ di-grao,iul
days. Now, there seems Ia L. some
thing Of an awakening in -omc
quarters, aud some people arr bsYin-
ming to see what unmitigated, IArti-
san-blinded idiots they made Of
themselves. last week the CAU-
CAsIAN printed an extract from =
democratic paper In which II declared
that the appointment OF Legislators
to jobs they made for themselves
had reached the sickening point. ="
This week there L. offered below
some more democratic comment
which shows that IT the opinion that
the de-facto Governor of this stste
was ''Godlike" was unanimous, thar.
has been considerable change.
We do not see with what reason
these democratic e,iitors are com
planning, however, for they helped
to bring about the existing disgrace
full condition of affairs In spite of
the plainest and clearest warnings of
what was coming that were ever
given.
Here are tn, complaints:
W .desboro Me senger & Intelligenc ~
The people of the state thought
they had cause to congratulate them
selves and the party upon the pomi.
nation and election of our present
Governor. They had the right "a
expect that the duties of that grea,
Office would lie discharged In man.
ner conducive To the best interest oi
the state and a majority Of the dem
Ocratic people; yet we have seer
Frank Winston, Of spotted political
record, preferred over thst loyal
true and life long democrat, PEBBLES
for the high position Of superior
Court Judge. While Winston Wa.
dickering with George White and
Others to obtain the republican nomi
nation for Judge I'm his district, and
unbosoming himself in that famou,
letter that must not be forgotten, a
it proclaimed the man a. he was
PEBBLES was standing up in the legis
lature Of the state, leader of th'
few, making a desperate effort e
protect the outraged decency Of th'
state. 1t is a pitiable spectacle tina
any democrat Of fair ability mus
be stood down for this politics
acrobat who has belonged to al
parties and has been true TO none.
The appointment Of Judge Bryan
Of the Criminal Court, Is q shad
better. 1t is understood In thes
parts that he has not voted the ma
tional democratic ticket i'm the las
two elections.
The last appointment il one tina
is better than either. 1t can be sai'
of Judge Neal that he is democra
at least. No one would charge ths
he is learned and great lawyer. Ii
fact, if We must speak with sober
ness and the truth, he Is neithe
learned nor great i'm the minds O
his unprejudiced friends. He is no
i, possessed Of those great judicis
qualities and dignity that shoul
! cha' acterize one holding the honor
able and responsible position G
Superior Court Judge. While M
our choice still he is a simon pur
and unwsvering democrat.
The appointment Of Spainhour
another striking example of tn
political reward of one who has use
every effort for the disruption an
]. overthrow Of the Democratic part,
! Is it possible that our Governo
;, thinks he can sandbag tried and tru
r democrats and use his great Office
9 payment Of his own personal polit
J., cal obligations to such men as VIII
il ston, Bryan and Spainhour and I'll
q people remain silent?
d Things political as they emanai
# from our Chief Executive, do seel
l. little strange.
r If political states cannot be br
n ken they can be rattled-until Il
r folks take notite.
