[Entered a the Fuat Office at Charlotte, N. C aa •ecood-clasa maser. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1882. SALUTATORY. ' In presenting this little sheet to our people, it is hoped they willnp preciste it ns an honest effort on our part to promote the moral, in tellectual and material standing of our people. We are aware of the difficulties and responsibilities at tending the publication of a news paper ; but seeing the great need of an organ in this section to defend the principles of the Republican party; the need of an exponent of the rights of the colored people, we have undertaken the task and shall depend upon the wisdom and kind ness of our friends to encourage and support us. We intend to make the Missu ola a permanent institution and an organ worthy of its name. It is in tended to fill a vacancy of long standing and one sorely felt. We shall make it our business to get news, and shall furnish our readers with all interesting news possible. While we shall not be sparing in bur dealings with wrong-doers, nor slow in recognising merit wherever found, we shall devote special inter est to the defense of the colored people and the Republican party. The Missuoib will be furnished its readers promptly on the day of publication, and will always pride itself in doing all in its power to ad vance the educational and moral etanding of our people in the Caro lines. W. C. Smith, Publisher. The TMut The Republican Convention hav ing met and endorsed the ticket put forward by the anti-prohibition con vention which met one week pre vious, it is the duty of all good and loyal Republicans to lay aside what ever of personal feelings they may have bad, and accept this ticket in good faith. Individually, we wore opposed to coalition, as we believed the party strong enough to win without a for mal union with any other party; but aa the party Isadora have thought beet to accept the work of the other convention, we acquiesce; Uone shall excel us in obeying the party leaders whenever we think them right. The Convention of Republicans which met in Raleigh on Wednes day last was one of the moat intelli gent bodice Os P -pulM .-sun that ha* met in this State before. Aueag the colored men present were Harris, Green, O’Hara, Wan tom, the Learyt, and White. It was a harmonious body, and though Mott, Cooper and Moore were there arrayed against Keogh, Jenkins and Ball, we are informed there was bat little clashing of anna, which is a fltir indication that everythiag is to work smoothly. Dockery is the choice of aH the Republicans in the State for Congressman at large. Then go to work, hoys, and don’t stop till the Inst vote is counted. Now for a Congressional ticket for this District We Dr. Venacat Much is being said of Congress man Mackey’s colored wife. They ■ay she is a pretty brunette. They live in tha most aristocratic part es Washington (Sty. I The Raleigh Times is the official organ of the Republican Jihrty in the State. The Republicans carried the elec tion in Oregon last week, and will, elect a Republican to succeed Gro* ver in the United States Senate. The Liberal or anti-prohibition party met in Raleigh on the 7th and nominated the following ticket to be voted for in November: Congressman at Large, O. H. Dock ery; Supreme Court Judge, G. N. Polk; Associate Justices: C.C. Pool, J. A. Moore, P. H. Darby, W. A. Guthrie, L. H. Churchill. This ticket was endorsed by the Republican Convention which met on the 14th in the same city. The colored newspaper men of the country meet in Washington City on the 27th inst. They will have a grand time. Cromwell, of the Advocate, will have everything necessary to make them happy. Come farther South, next time, boys, not for our benefit, but so you may all see our great country. There was a little unpleasantness in the court-room at Salisbury last week. Two pugilistic lawyers not being satisfied with hot words, re sorted to their muscles. The kind hearted presiding Judge, allowed them to go free. It looks to us like going to the extreme with leniency, but he knows best. Whe They Are.
