.LTIPICEL RADICAL TICKET

- ~
10 be when the people Of Wayne
County continuously refused to give
them office, but this seems to be a
mistake, and Maj. Grants Conven-
ton, which was held.last week, has
again emphasized the fact that it is
ain unsafe proposition to submit the
government of the County and State
to the Republicans. This is mani
tested in many of the nominations,
but probably more 50 in the nomi-
Ma MS for the Legislature than in
some other particulars.
Mr.. M. +. Cox. the nominee for
the House, about 1894 became a
Fusionist, and from thence has
gravitated into a full tledgcd Re
publican. OF our as n Of the
converts he was entitled to considera-
tion at the hands of the Republicans
and was given a job as store keeper
and guager at a Whiskey still. He
has also been a chronic candidate for
Office and has shown his gratitude t
O1O AbCPINbI1SGAA1o W pIIllS ~
turn over our County and State
Government to them.
MI. John I. Mozingo, the other
Republican Nominee for the House,
is a old time Republican who is
understood to vote the ticket as it is
printed, and he has received the
usual reward of an appointment as
store keeper and guager under the
Internal Revenue Department which
which he retained for some time.
He may also have had some position
under the Russell administration.
But the browning glory of the Re-
publican Legislative ticket is DIR. M.
w. Parks, their nominee for the
Senate, who used to be frequently a
candidate for nomination before
Democratic County Conventions but
could never secure a nomination,
whose politics for a number of years
has been of the variegated sort. He
seems to have been fitted for nomi
nation by the Republicans by a lit
tie incident that. occurred at Jan.
term 1895, of Wayne Superior Court
when he was convicted for selling
liquor without license by a jury of
his countrymen and sentencedto pay
a fine of the 500 and cost of the ac-
tion, and to enter into bond for 5000
not to sell unlawfully for twelve
months. At the same time this pro-
posed law maker who was then a
practicing physician, in another
case, submitted that he a guilty of
selling liquor without. license and
was let off with the costs. In an
other column will be found a certi-
fed copy of the record of the case in
which he was convicted and also the
bond which he gave.
These are the candidates that the
reformed Republican party of Wayne
offers to the voter as representatives
of their grand old party. They say
that they are the right sort of men to
make laws for the good people of the
great State of North CaroIina~ We
do not believe that any considerable
number of the people of Wayne who
have any regard for the reputation
of the County or their own good
NAME, will vote for these candidates.
It will be impossible to convince Our
people that RusselliteS, store keepers
and guagers, bung smellers and pro-
fessional men convicted of the viola
ton OF the laws and found criminal
by the courts of the country, are
specially fitted for the high duty of
making laws to govern the people Of
this State.
These nominations are a sample Of
what the Republicans have put cut
a their idea Of tie men who ought
repre~ent them. We have no doubt
that the people Of the County will
come to the conclusion that this
party IS we'll represented by its can
didates, and will, with full d~elihera-
ton and good sense, make up their
minds, as they have many times be-
fore, that it is unsafe to trust the
Republican party, reformed or unre-
formed, under the leadership of Mai.
Grant, John r.. Smith and others
who have for years trained with the
negro voter, and who were respon-
sible for all the horrors that came
out of the Russell administration.
