When Mr.. Hildebrand' the eo''o'

nemoerat to help the editor Oh 'n'
Raleigh News and Observer ana M'
simmons G. Company. in con'ihu-
alton of their campaign OF siahaef'
Ia was not very careful IN the use u
words. He not only suppressed Tue
fact that it was the Carlisle syndicate
wbo rendered the carpet-bag oohoS'
hut on the other hand, he cnarseo
directly that Marion Butler tendereo
a donation of those bonds to the state
of Rhode Island.
The editor of the Raleigh News
and Observer, in carrying out It's part
Of the conspiracy. has been a little
more careful. The editor does not
charge directly that Marion Butter
made the tender Of bonds to either
Rhode Island or Nevada, but attempts
IN do so by indirection, which Is In
keeping with his contemplate cow
ardly nature. He does, however
suppress the fact that it was the Car
hale syndicate, headed by the former
Democratic Secretary OF the treas
ury under Grover Cleveland, and as
s,sted on the committee by Hon. JET
ferson M. Levy, former Democratic
State Chairman of Virginia, and now
Democratic Tammany Congressman
from the State Of New York, that
pooled these bonds and made the
tender to these States.
The Raleigh News and Observer in
an editorial. says:
Another chapter in the
scheme Of the holders and their
allies of the old North Carolina
scalawag bonds has been writ
ten in Nevada, as told in an artl-
Gle by Mr.. Pence, the Washlng-
ton correspondent Of this paper,
in this mornings issue.
.It will be remembered that
the holders of these old repudl-
ated bonds some time since do
mated to the State Of Nevada
number of these old bonds,
amounting in face value to the
sum of 100000, for the purpose
of using that State as cats
if possible, force collection, in
order that if the suit was sue
cessful that they, too, might col
lect these illegitimate holdings.
"This fresh evidence of the
workings of the old carpet-bag
bond syndicate emphasizes the
wisdom of the people of North
Carolina in burying Marion But
Ter and his cohorts in the last
election, whose Interior motives
became thoroughly apparent be-
fore the campaign was over"
In a succeeding issue that paper
editorially, also says:
During the campaign More
head was asked to repudiate the
Butler-Pettigrew bond crowd,
but he would not Everybody
out of North Carolina refuses to
touch the accursed bonds except
the Shylocks who are trying in
vain to bribe some State. -.
'No State is willing to be con-
nected with the fraudulent
bonds. North Carolina Republi-
cans (some of them dissenting)
are the only folks who still con-
descend to have anything to do
with the gang"
The editor of the Raleigh New
and Observer knew. before Mr.. But
Ter made his Raleigh speech, tina
similar charges which had previousl
been published in that paper wer
false. The Democratic machine ha
made every effort in New York an
elsewhere to find some evidence t
connect Mr.. Butler with these carpei
bag bond transactions, and had fai
ed. Indeed, they had found that b
not only was not connected with sue
efforts, but that he had positively an
actively opposed the same, and "
they continue day after day their l.
ing charges.
Mr.. Butler, in his Raleigh speecl
not only denounced Mr.. Simmons an
Mr.. Daniels in plain and unqualifie
language for deliberately publishin
and uttering such ISLANDERS, but b
went further and furnished the absl
lutte proof of the falsity of the
charges. The editor of the Raleig
News and Observer is. therefore, col
