The Charlotte News Pays Him a
Deserved Compliment.
Below we reproduce a clipping
from the Charlotte News, OF yester-
day, which speaks in very cOmpli,
mentary terms of our distinguished
townsman and able jurist, Hon. w.
r. Allen.
1t is indeed a high and deserved
compliment, and do doubt voices the
sentiments Of the people everywhere
the Judge has held court.
We are all proud, and justly so, OF
the record Judge Allen has made all
I'VE the State. He IS able, fair and
impartial in all his rulings and has
the courage of his convictions:
"There is no office in the gift of
the people Of North Carolina which
in reality carries with it SO great re-
spOnsibilIties as that of Judge of the
Superior Court. He travels over the
entire State, holding Court in every
county, and is called upon to decide
finally a vast number of causes in
.yolving not only great property
rights, but also the freedom and
happiness of hundreds ofour citizens,
since comparatively few of the cases
especially on the criminal side, ever
reach the Supreme Tribunal of the
State, OF Raleigh.
Judge w. II. Allen, of Goldsboro,
who has been riding this dIstrict-to
use a quaint old phrase -ior some
months past, is certainly a splendid
example of what a Superior Court
Judge ought to be. 1t is not too much
to say that the entire bar of this city
unite in praising his learning, clear
e and the absolute impartiality OF
his rulings.
We can not do better in this con-
nection than to quote what was said
of Judge Allen yesterday by a dis
tinguished Charlotte lawyer:
HE is able, learned, fair and i'm
partial, and possesses that rare fac
ulty of expressing himself so clearly
and simply that none who listen can
fail to understand.
Added to these qualities is his
ability to dispatch the business of
the Court with an ease and quite
dignity that makes him the ideal
Judge and inspire both litigant and
lawyer with the most profound re-
spect for the law, when administered
at his hands,"

GRANT AND HIS NOMINEES.

The Radical Convention appeared
to belong to Maj. H. l.. Grant. He
directed its policies aud its lead
ing spirit. He spoke at length in
opposition to the Democratic party
because he says in advocating the
Watts law it strikes a blow at the
principal of local self government,
and he is asking white men of
Wayne County to elect the men
selected by his Convention.
Who is Major Grant? According
to our best information he made his
first appearance in the State with a
negro regiment Of Yankee soldiers,
and since he has been with us he
has shown that he had nothing but
contempt for Southern white men
who disagree with him whether Re-
publicans or Democrats. For some
time prior to 1892 when the Demo-
Gratis had beaten down Republican
rule and had no strong opposition,
Maj. Grant became as mild as a
lamb, and some people began to
think that he was better than they
thought. However, when, Fus-
ion endangered the State he be-
came a leader and did what he
could to degrade Us. He says he is
a prOhibitIOnist but opposes the only
legislation that has been passed for
years that encourages and stimulates
temperance while it does not enact
prohibition. He antagonizes the
Watts law because he says it is
against local self government, yet
while in the Fusion Legislature of
1897 he and his associates violated
every principal of local self govern
ment and voted for and actively
supported bills placing Wilmington
and other cities under Police Com
missiOners who in sympathy
with Russell's administration. He
tried to do the same thing for Colds
boro. He introduced a bill for that
purpose and had it passed by the
Senate of 1897, of which he was a
member. He and his party sue
ceeded in putting in Office in North
Carolina about 1000 negro office
holders. He and his associates talk
new much about the liberty of
thought and action brought about
by the Constitutional Amendment
and seek to induce Democrats to ex-
erclse this freedom made possible
by the Democratic party, to help
Radicals to office, and he does not
tell them that he and his party did
what they could to defeat the Con-
stitutional Amendment.
There are some Democrats in this
County who are dissatisfied in some
matters and who think of not voting
for some of the Democratic candi-
dates. It would be we'll for them
to stop and think how such a course
would delight the Radical great
men: Grant, "The Noble Leader"
John r. Smith, of Penitentiary
Superintendent fame, John I. Mo-
lingo and M. E. Cox, Ex-Whiskey
Gaugers, sM. w. Parks who has been
convicted Of selling liquor without
license, etc. If the honest and repu-
table citizens of this County, inter
ested in its prosperity and good
name, like this crowd, and wish to
aid them to tear down the work of
the united white people of the State,
then we have no more to say.
