rye viii take up the above false
stAttfnehts In the order In which
they come. First, the Courier says
that If the Republicans should elect
their ticket they would bankrupt the
State and destroy It's credit. Mr..
Kitchin, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, we understand. ad-
mits he has bankrupted himself in
trying to get the Office. Mr.. Cox,
the Republican candidate for Cover.
nor. did not spend one cent to get
the nomination, started into life with
very limited means and is now one
of the most successful business mer
in the State. Wouldn't 1t be much
safer to have a man to manage the
affairs of the State who had man
aged his own affairs successfully?
Now, who has destroyed the cred
it of the State? Under Fusion rule
the States credit was good-how i!
it to-day? Only a few days age
North Carolina bonds were offered
for sale in Baltimore, but there were
no bidders. the parties stating the!
did not care to make investments il
a State that was making war on 1t.
industries.
AS to the use Of the public funds
for the benefit of office-holders, W,
wish to remind the Courier tina
nearly every Democratic State Off
Ger has been actively engaged il
this campaign, and some pernicious
ly active, and at the same time the,
have been drawing the taxpayers
money to perform the duties of thei
office.
Again. the Courier says that tn
State debt is being liQuidated unde
Democratic rule. The Courier shout,
know better than to make such
statement when he knows that ever
Democratic Legislature for the pas
ten years, with possibly one excep
ton, has issued bonds and great
increased the States debt for futur
generations to pay. Several thou
sands of dollars of the States mon
ey has been wasted within the pas
two years by the Democrats In try
ing to enforce a law that was un
constitutional.
The Courier says that under Dem
ocratic rule scandal and robbery /
unknown. How about the Demo
cratic management of the A G N.
Railroad which smelled so bad tina
they had to stir it behind close
doors to keep the odor from spread
ing over the entire State. How abou
the recent Democratic sheriff Q
Tyrrell County? How about severe
others we could mention, anon
them one who sQuandered the cour
tvs money o ma negro wench an
neglected his wife and child a
home? Do you call that scanda
or have you some sweet name for it
The Courier is either not inform
ed, or is simply trying to fool th
voters.
