A day or two ago this correspondent
mentioned a republicans commenda-
! ton of fair treatment of his party and
It's proceedings by The Wilmington
Messenger and The Charlotte Obser-
yer. This republican at the same time
| spoke Of the elimination Of the ne
gro, making it possible to have two
respectable and self-respecting par
| ties in North Carolina. That is all
| right. but there are two sides to the
question. The republicans of this
| country h:tve just issued the first num-
| ber of newspaper, the Tribune" :"
and it gives slim promise of two self
| respecting parties. for It IS abusive
| throughout. Its taking uD the past
| political records of the democratic
| nominees is legitimate party warfare;
| but the "TriDune'S" characterization
| of the democratic county nominating
| convention as a "howling drunken
mob is false. The republican county
nominating convention was treated
courteously by the Fayetteville OBJ
server in it's report of the proceedings,
and by The Wilmington Messenger and
Charlotte Observer. However. that
| kind of campaign thunder makes
votes-for the democrats.
