When assailed for Writing this advice
sell ever received, by the way)-Judge
Clark admits writing the letter and in
last Sundays News and Observer makes
this explanations:
This recommended Mr.. Aycoclz (now
Goverror) or Judge Conner as a good
lawyer to sec to the execution of the
law against free passes and discrimina-
tion in freight rates. both Of which are
forbidden, under heavy penalties. by the
statute. | had doubtless been asked to
suggest good Democratic lawyer, and
I certainly named two whose Democra-
cy and legal ability reflected credit on
my Judgment
This Incident recalls to my mind the
fact that when Judge Conner was on
the Superior Court bench. the first case
brought by Governor Fowle looking to
putting the Atlantic Coast Line on the
tax list, was heard before Judge Conner
He gave a decision for the State. The
case was appealed to the Supreme Court
then made up of Chief Justice Merrimon
and Associate Justices Avery, Shepherd
Clark and Davis. The majority opinion
affirmed Judge Conner. 1t was written
by Justice Clark who amplified the law
as it related to the taxation OF railroads.
That decision put the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad on the tax books Prior
to that time it had never paid any tax
tanning a legislative exemption from
taxation. Everybody knows that Judge
Connonr would hold the scales of justice
evenly and do justice to the people and
to the corporations.
The State Convention will act wisely
if it dominates Clark and Connor and
some equally good western man.

MR.. NIXON'S RETIREMENT.

1.-THE retirement of Mr.. Nixon as leader
of Tammany Hall Democracy ought not
to create surprise. Leadership cannot
be impaired by the laying on of hands
or by appointment. Leaders of city poll
tics must come up from the ranks. Mr..
Nixon was appointed by Mr.. Croker and
the veterans resented it. There was
clash. Mr.. Nixon's authority was ques-
toned, and he came to the place where
he must retire from the public leader
ship or be only a nominal leader. He
had declared that he would be leader or
nothing. He was true to his declaration.
1t is to be feared that the abdication of
Mr.. Nixon will result in a reaction. His
policies were broad and wise, and prom
ised the best results for the New York
Democracy, but New York politicians
are a law unto themselves and are past
finding out. Democrats everywhere will
hope that Tammany will not go back to
the policies and aims that brought to
it recent defeat.

All Recognize Judge Connor's Fitness
Kenly, n. c., May Is, 1902.


To the Editor: 1t has been very graft
fying to those of us who have known
Judge Conner all his life, and who know
his independence and integrity, to sec
that all the State recognizes his fitness
and worth.
I'desire to call attention to recent in
cident that emphasizes the general faith
in Judge Conner as a brave and an
honest lawyer, free from any and all en-
targling alliances. When Judge Clark
recently replied conclusively to the at
tack upon him, and published the let
tiers" about which SO much has been
heard he made reference TO Judge
Conner that will be universally approx
ed. 1t seems that during Governor Rus
sells administration, he had in mind
bringing an action against some rail-
road for violation of the law. Asked by
Governor Russell to name a suitable
Democratic lawyer. Judge Clark wrote
Russell as follows:
Would not Aycock be the best man
and if for any reason he is not available
i respectfully suggest Judge Connor."

Hon. T. B. Bailey for Judge.

To the Editor: Thomas B. Bailey,
whose name will be presented for the
nomination for Judge of the Tenth Judi
cial District, was born in Mocksville,
Davie county, n. c., in 1S49. He was
prepared for college at the celebrated
"Wilson School" in Alamance county and
graduated at Davidson College in 1871.
He taught school for four years-studied
law under Judge Pearson at Richmond
Hill and obtained license to practice law
in 1876. He has been painstaking, in
dustrious, and successful lawyer. By
his application, integrity and fidelity to
his clients he built up and enjoys a lucra-
tive practice and is today one of the
best equipped lawyers in this sectionSof
the State An all-round man with mo
cranks and hobbies, but evenly balanced,
just and wise, he would make an ideal
judge. He has never sought an office.
In 1889 he represented Rowan and Davie
counties in the Senate and again in '94
was forced by his friends to make a
hopeless race for the same position in
Iredell, Yadkin and Davie counties. In
that campaign he made a gallant fight
but went down in defeat with the rest
of the ticket. In fact there has not
been campaign since 1876 in which he,
as private, has not been in the fore
most and thickest of the fight. Besides
being a good lawyer he is a successful
business man, being identified with most
of the business enterprises in the COM
munity.
He is worthy and eminently qualified
to fill this high and honorable position.
His friends think he ought to have the
nomination and without disparaging
other candidates will press his claims
before the convention.

TYRRELL TAKES THE BANNER

1t seems that some counties, claiming
the banner for having the fewest number
of Democrats who failed to pay their
poll tax, must "go way back and sit
down. The little county of Tyrrell gets
the banner. In a private letter from
the county, from Mr.. Joe 4. Spruill,
the patriotic and aggressive Democratic
chairman, the news is given that every
Democrat in the county paid his poll
tax before May 1st. >
Good for Tyrrell county 1t bad a
hard fight and lost in 1894 and 1896. but
it was redeemed in 1898 and is now re-
solved to hold the banner rs the best
poll tax paying and Democratic voting
county in the State.

ANOTHER CANARD EXPLODED

We call special attention today to an
editorial copied from the Roanoke
Chowan Times from which We make this
extract:
cat the February term of Northamp-
ton Superior Court, at Jackson, the prin-
cipal law agent of one of these railroads
in a bitter denunciation of Judge Clark
stated to the editor of the Times That
the railroads contributed one hundred
thousand dollars to the Democratic cam
paign fund in 1900, and now they asked
that Judge Clark be not nominated for
Chief Justice, and declared that If nomi-
mated he would certainly be defeated.
The threat was made boldly and de-
family"
The Times thinks that ''our State Com
mittee should make some statement to
the public about the matter, and the
sooner the better" This paper is in
position to make q statement, without
waiting for the State Committee. The
statement by the railroad attorney
is not correct. The Democratic Com
mittee did not see 500, 900 or a fifth
of it during the campaign of 1900 from
all sources. The railroads gave nothing
at ALL 1t may be that few railroad
men as individuals gave few dollars
of that we are not advised. The COM
mittee was embarrassed from first to
last to get enough money to pay the
necessary expenses and nearly every dol
lar raised was contributed by candidates
and public spirited citizens. The first
money the committee had came from the
business men of Wilmington who were
liberal in many small contributions
The small amount of money used came
from many sources and no large sum was
given by anybody.
The attempt to discredit the Demo-
cratic State Committee by the virtual
charge that it was bought by railroad
money is on par with the methods that
the railroad agents have employed of late
to injure the Democratic party. Instead
of contributing to the Democratic cam
paign fund, some of the big railroad sys-
TENS contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund In 1896 the Southern Rail-
way gave $250000 to the Republican
campaign fund, it's chief officers in North
Carolina voted the Republican ticket
again in 1900, and in return therefor they
have dictated Federal appointments from
roctmactarc m Eadaral iudppc in this
State.
The Democratic party in North Caro-
lima is under no obligations to any rail-
road or any railroad system. If some
railroad men had contributed to the DEM
ocratic campaign fund, that would carry
no obligation to permit that railroad to
pack the Supreme Court The Demo-
cratic party owes no obligations to any
man or corporation in this State, and
the declaration that it does owe such
obligation is a SANDER upon the entire
party.
More than that if any Democratic
leader should accept campaign contribu-
tions upon the understanding that the
party contributing should dictate judicial
nominations, the leader making such q
dishonorable bargain would be repu-
dated and kicked out of the councils of
the party
canard and it is exploded by the facts.

THE ISSUE DRAWN.

Roanoke Chowan Times.
1t seems that the issue whether the
railroads and trusts or the people shall
govern North Carolina will be fought to
finish this year. Evidence is multiply
ing that the issue cannot be avoided,
deplore it as we may.
Let US not forget the fact that the
people are not the aggressors in this
fight. The issue is being forced upon
US by the railroads and trusts.
1t is everywhere evident that Justice
Walter Clark is the peoples choice for
Chief Justice of our Supreme Court, his
courage, honesty and eminent ability
making him an ideal Judge. A most
bitter fight is being made against him
by the Railroads and Tobacco Trust, led
by their law agents.
At the February term of Northampton
Superior Court, at Jackson, the principal
law agent of one of these railroads in
bitter denunciation of Judge Clark stated
to the editor of the Times that the rail-
roads contributed one hundred thousand
dollars to the Democratic campaign
fund in 1900. and that now they asked
that Judge Clark be not nominated for
Chief Justice, and declared that if noml-
mated he would certainly be defeated.
This threat was made boldly and de-
family. This same law agent was also
very severe in his denunciation of the
leaders of the educational movement,
but based his opposition to that on the
ground that the negroes would also have
longer school terms.
We do not believe that the railroads
contributed half that amount to the
Democratic State campaign fund. In view
of the claim it seems to US that our
State Committee should make some state
ment to the public about this matter,
and the sooner the better.

Tyrrell Solid for Judge Brown.

To the Editor: l notice that some
counties are claiming the banner because
only a few Democratic voters failed to
pay the poll tax. Those counties are too
previous. Send the banner down to
Tyrrell county. Every Democratic voter
in Tyrrell county paid his poll-taX, and
therefore Tvrrell is the banner Demo-
cratic county.

will do so still after reading his letter.
but to those who are not biased or
preiudiced we must think they are a
clear explanation of the full matter. This
fight, led by the Southern Railway and
other railways and corporations will
only tend to make Judge Clark all the
more popular with the great masses of
the people-on whose side he has always
been found.

We see no reason why Judge Clark
should be the nominee this year, if we
want a Democratic chief justice, for we
do not believe he can be elected. We be-
lieve his nomination means the election
of a Republican and a great step to-
wards the return of Pritchard to the

one man fit for chief justice, it had bet

miserable efforts to blast the judlclal

hogan and are now keeping up the war

against him. Surely Clark is not their

There is absolutely nothing in the cor

that Judge Clark is not the honorable,
nure man and the fair and just judge
that the people of North Carolina have
always considered him to be.
The people can see from this correspond
ence that the confidence reposed in Judge
Clark has not been abused. This effort
to destroy him, for the reason that he
cannot be controlled by few corpora
lions and their henchmen, will make his
friends more active and draw many to
him who have hitherto been non commit
