Republican PIOtters.

"Anyone can see, who will see the truth,
that all the combinations of greed, all the
plotters who work upon our government to
win special gains at the cost of the people
at large, are to be found supporting the
party now in power; for the democratic
party they have, as always, only hostility.
1t must, of course, be so, because whoever
will sacrifice the public good for private or
class advantage, can expect no countenance
from a party which stands devotedly for
the common welfare of all.
MANY there are, indeed, who know that
their prosperity will be sufficient If 1t con-
sdst with justice for all; who prefer that
Justice without any personal reckoning,
AMI who, If SO allied as to share gains de-
rived at the cost of their fellow men,
would rather yield than hold them on such

Was it Our" Littlefield?

To the Editor During my stay at the
Charleston Exposition, my attention, one
afternoon, was called to two intelligent
visitors who seemed to be greatly in
terested in what North Carolina had to
show. l Joined these visitors and, as
was my custom, began pointing out OBJ
jects of special interest, and examining
the makeup of my guests. One was q
Catholist Priest. polite, learned and in
terested. The other seemed to be a man
of affairs, dressed we'll for an old man,
and was given to considerable praise of
the exhibit. Directly he said:
It's great State; the best in the
South, and if it would only do the right
thing and pay it's outstanding bonds, it
would soon forge to the 'front.'
To which l replied:
North Carolina will pay every dollar
due; her bonds now command a premium
on the market"
But he said. II refer to those old
bonds, l think there is suit now pend
ing against North Carolina from one of
the Western States, trying to force pay
ment of part of these bonds
"Of course, | replied, Il do not refer
to the confiscated bonds of the recon
structicn period; no honest man would
want those paid, and no honest people,
as our North Carolina people are, would
want to pay them: they were issued by
carpet aggers and thieves-Littlefield
and his gang-and the State got nothing
for them; no, sir, they will never be
paid.'
The good priest turned red in the face
and walked away, out of hearing, and
interested himself in the exhibit; but the
other man insisted:
Yes, the State did get some good from
them-much of that money went into the
construction of the Western North Caro-
lima Railroad, and the State should re-
deem the bonds"
l said: "You must be mistaken-a
small part of the money may have been
used by those corrupt men to give color
to a claim, but it was a gigantic steal
Just read the fraud commission and
post yourself on Littlefield and that gang
of thieves, and you will reach the same
conclusion that the good people of my
State have reached, to-wit: That to pay
those bonds would be to approve theft
and reward iniquity; no, sir, our people
will resist that to the bitter end but any
contract or bonds which are bona fide
will be met by the people of North Caro-
lima with dollar for dollar"
The good priest said it was time to go,
as there was much to see; and SO they
