Aany people seem 10 BE Disposed TO
cusa The old Democratic par,sa meta
oda Of doing things. bat they doat
seem 20 hare courage enough or fore
sight enough 10 stop supporting such
However. some have come ont eolaiy
and declared they wouid 10 longer
support The Democratic party. and
have concluded to read The Caaeas-
Ian and vote with the Republican
party In the future. and yoa may
look for others TO follo@ thess IN
doing the same thing. for sc still
have patriots and intelligent men IN
Pasquotank County who wiiI not be
fooled much longer By the Democrat
ic bosses.
That Raleigh speech OF Senator
Buffers Is something fine and COM
pletely yIndicates him In the eyes and
ears OF all who did not know better
than TO believe what was charged by
his enemies OF course, all who were
posted on such matters in the State
know that ex-senator Butler needs no
vindication in the matter, for he has
done nothing for which he should feel
the necessity OF trying 10 vindicate
himself. All his acts since he has
been in public life In the State have
been clean and honorable and patri-
otic-as much so as any man in the
State of North Carolina, and none
know it better than his vilifiers; and
these facts stand out plain to all who
are informed as TO the acts of ex-
Senator Marion Butler. These Demo
Gratis and their henehmen abuse him
because they are afraid of him ana
because they know he is superior in
generalship and character to many of
them, and, If not checked, will de-
prive some of them of their Offices by
destroying their party. This is why
they try to combine to destroy him.
Il
rise Triumphant over them despite the
slime and slush with which they have
striven to cover him, and to-day, out
side of a few would-be bosses and
their lick spittles, he is thought more
of by the people of North Carolina
than he ever was; and l think if he
can be induced to canvass the State
prior to the next election, you all
will see the truth of my statement
verified and see the old Republican
party rise out of her dust and ashes
in which she has been cast by reason
of traitors in her own ranks and the
vile abuse and unlawful acts of the
Democratic party and shake herself
of this filth like a hen from the dust
/ batch or q dog that has been thrown
overheard, and come forth with ban
ners unfurled, proclaiming liberty
and justice to all the people, for the
/ people are beginning to see and fee
/ that it doesn't pay to cut off their
noses to spite their faces, as the old
saying goes, but that it does pay vel
/ to vote for principle and not to be
welded to any party simply for its
name, or because their daddy voted
for that party. An intelligent voter
should feel it his duty to change his
party when it gets dirty just as he
does his shirt; and if we would dc
that we would have cleaner politics
and more wholesome laws in the
land. THOS. MEADS.
