TIE TRUTH OF IT.

With reference to the widely adver-
tised largely attended and enthusiastic"
Independent rally at Whitaker's Mill, in
Franklin county last Saturday, two re-
ports have come to this paper.
One report says that there were pres
ent not exceeding 125 people, including
children who had been attracted by the
chancel to catch fish at the turning off
of the pond, and the negroes. OF this
number there were not more than
seventy-fve voters in all. OF those pres
ent of voting age, at least one-half were
negroes.
The report from another source, coming
from a Republican, claims there were
about $50 present, including negroes, chill
dren and seiners.
The meeting was held at one of the
strongholds of the Independents in
Franklin county. and instead of greatly
alarming the Democrats" as the twin
Radical revenue organs-the Morning
Post and the Asheville Gazette-printed,
the Democrats find that the situation in
that township is that the Democrats will
at least. hold their own and they expect
to make gains.
1t is upon such misleading publications
that the Radicals and Independents are
fed. 1t is easy to understand why they
are sent out and published. They tend
to help Radicals and Independents every
where, and if people believe them they
would injure the Democratic party.
Happily they do not appear in papers that
are Democratic and everybody knows
them to be campaign canards sent out by
Radical politicians.
1t will be we'll for Democrats and all
others who want the truth not to pay
any attention to the Radical canards of
this character, which are being sent out
and published by direction of the Radi-
cal committee.
On the same day that this so-called
big meeting was held at Whitaker's Mill
Governor Aycock spoke at Youngsville,
in an opposite section of Franklin county
Governor Aycock had great crowd
The lowest estimate of the crowd that
heard the Governor was eight hundred.
When the returns come in at the No
vember election, it will be found that the
crowd at Youngsville and at Whitakers
Mill about fairly represents the proper
Tomato strength of the two parties in
Franklin county.
