Discrediting Governor Aycock's AID
ministration.
(New Bern Journal.)

Those State newspapers which have
been the critics of Governor Aycock's, in
the Governors action against Messrs.
Finch and MeBee in their efforts to gain
control OF the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad property, have become,
now that the Governor has successfully
upheld his position, actual opponents Of
the State administration, and are waging
a regular newspaper warfare against the
Governor.
The criminal court having taken charge
Of Messrs. Finch and McBee, these gen
tltmen are removed as tangible assets,
to be used against the State admnistra-
ION, so the opponents of the Governor,
mi they areNnot placing themselves in
the Republican ranks are raising as,
uoisy q clamor over the approaching in
vestigation of the affairs of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad, asking ques-
tons OF the Governor which it will be
the business of the Investigation Com
mittee to find out and answer, as if Gov
ernor Aycock was criminally holding
some of the workings OF the road from
the public.
In the first place. the investigation of
he roads affairs was not brought about
by the opponents of the Governor, for
it had been determined upon before the
,laroor began In the second place, this
investigation has proceeded regularly and
orderly, with gentlement named on the
committee whose character and reputa-
ton give assurance that an honest and
thorough investigation will be given
But this does not satisfy those who
are not merely critics, but ares actually

of the A. and n. e. road, and also dis

for If there is no rottenness in this

of the Governor, there will be some fool

l. would seem at least a sensible poll

of New York, who were so recently dis
conforted, to wait a few days until TIE
Investigation may prove boomerang 70
those who have followed so persistentiy
in their attempts to discredit Governor
Ayoock.
Is it not time to let the Investigation
begin and be completed, before seeking
to discover any more mares nests? Up
to the present time the opponents oi
Governor Aycock have been playing
rather ridiculous roles in their clamor for
the very thing which was taking place.
