THE REAL FACTs.o

Justice" Gives Partial His ory Of the
Fraud and Corrup,ion of the Democratic
Party.
The Wilkesboro Chronicle demo.
cratic) some days ago attempted to
criticise one of "Jnstice " articles
in the Union Republican, but the
Chronicle must be sorry now that ii
made the attempt. That paper said
"if Justice could get politics out OF
his eyes long enough 10 look at real
facts, he surely would have 81 fficient
self.respect to not mix up politics
with the Samuel Hasty assault mat.
ter" AS to the "real facts" In the
case "Justice" replied as follows 4:
"My friend, the real facts are
what trouble me. l have seen
members of your party guilty of
every crime covered by the deca =
lOgue against Republicans, protected
by amnesty laws passed by Demo-
cratic Legislature. Is this a real
fact? / have seen your party
change the laws and customs of I've
hundred years in order to pack the
jury to rob the Republicans, as was
done in the league and Boyer case,
and these laws stand On the statute
book to day. Is this a real fact?
l have seen your party repeal
criminal laws in this State to save
Democratic criminals, who had
robbed Republicans. Is this a real
fact?
l have seen you pass laws to take
the peoples taxes to defend GRIM
inals who had robbed and defrauded
them. Is this a real fact:
1 have seen you pass laws to force
the Attorney General Of the State to
appear in court to defend Democrats
indicted for election frauds. Is this
q real fact?
When the people had decided to
place their affairs in the hands of
Republicans l have seen you pass
laws increasing the county COM
missiOners and thereby destroying
the will of the people. Is this a
real fact?
L have seen you create new offices
and appoint some Democrats to fill
them so as to take the greater part
of the fees from Republican officers
elected by the people. Is this a real
TACT?
I saw you create criminal court
here and take from the Clerk and
Solicitor, elected by the people, the
fees pertaining to their Office, that
you might give them to Democrats.
Is this a real fact?
l have seen your party descend 80
low that it took the peoples money
with which to prosecute and seek to
impeach the Supreme Court judges
they had elected, without excuse and
for no other reason than for party
purposes. Is this real fact3
/ have seen you fill the State with
new Offices and double the peoples
taxes to pay them. Is this q real
fact?
To deceive the people I have seen
you cry 'negrO domination" in Or
der to justify your taking from them
all control Of their local affairs. Yet
now, when the negro is entirely on
of politics, you still continue to ap-
point justices Of the peace, and the
whittier the county the more you ap-
point, as for instance, in Forsyth
your last Legislature appointed %,
In Madison 16 and in Mitchell 20,
while in the black county of Edge
combe you appoint one, in Halifax
two and New Hanover one. Is this
q real fact?
1 have seen you use this very law
in your own county to destroy the
will Of the people and count in q
Democrat who was not elected. Is
this real fact?
From the above you can readily
see that 1t is the real facts that
trouble me; and if desired I could
fill The Republican with q list of
''real facts," such as I have men
toned, which have done more to
hurt the prosperity of North Caro-
lima and retard our progress than the
Civil War did, bad as that Was.D
