TAB BESTINEI/S LETTER FROM
"A DEMOCRAT."
Wc'notico that tlie Winston Sentinel
to its last issue gives ("or may be was
paid for,") nearly a column and *a-half
of spare to "a democrat," who tries to
convince the readers of that paper tha
the REPORTEK-POST ia only semi Dem
ocratic. ■ The communication is too
thin to deserve notice, but as all tne
readers os the Sentinel may not havo
the same chance to borrow', and read
the REPOKTHB, a» "a democrat" has,
wo suppose that is the way he learned
so much about its politics, only seeing
it when be could borrow a tiumbei now
and then, or may be, he is a subscriber
who has not nor never intends paying
Ilia subscription, and only gets bis pa
per out of the offioo chance. We
will say to "a democrat," and the
readers of ttio Sentinel, that if they will
look aver the Ktate papers, they will |
fifed probably mere clippings from the j
REPORTER, than from any country pa
per in the State, and as an evidence that
looked upon by the press iu this and
other States of tha highest fype Demo
eratie, they give it credit for bettcj
jndgaient, (but not sounder principles)
than it claims. Such able papers as
tho Raleiga A t ws-Observer, Wilming-
Star, Charlotte Chronicle, Rtatesyille
Landmark, and others, of the truest,
aad best Dotuoeratic papers in the
State. The llichiaoud, and Danville,
Va. papers, as well as some Northern
papers, reproduce many of its articles
witheut comment, or if commeuted upon
stall it in only to endorse what the
RIPORTF.R says. True the KEIMR
TER differs with some of its ablel con
temporaries onltlie Tariff and Internal
Revenue law. The reason the best
rlass of Republican papers pablish and
eoderao so aauy of its articles, is} be
cause they rea4 the REPORTER week
after week, ktow it to be conservative
in principle, working with its poor a
bilty for the best interest of the coun
try. The reason Democratic and Be
publican voters alike endorse it, they
(ROW it is of the peoplo, and for the peo
ple, and fer the people every time.
If "a democrat" would know the
real truth of the REPORTER, we would
adyise him to subscribe, and pay for it
that he may see every week what it dees
say, and not l>e borrowing a number
new and then by chance, and throwing
dirt, without knowing whom,Jor what
bo is throwing it.
The REPORTER does not think it
true Democracy, to praise every scrub,
because he claims to be a Democrat, or
abuse every Republican, because he
differs with it ill politics, that principle
in politics, business aad social life, has
done more than almost any other oue
thing to lower the standard cf morality
in our county, State and Natton.
Tha REPORTER-POST, claims therigl.t
to censure fraud and corruption.uo matter
in what party it is foued, and will net
give its celumas, to help to places of
boner and trust *'a democrat'' or Re
publican, if it believes they are unworthy
the trust, not even if, "a democrat"
does say, or may say, it in a Mugwump,
or Muggulwumppy. *
Four hundred and forty prisoners in
one cointy jail in ona year do net leok
much like a diminution of crime. This
is what Foisytb county jail contained in
1887.—Wilmington Star.
Judge Connor soaie months age ex
pressed the opinion that the number of
smaller ciiuics ia diminishing iu the
State; but Forsyth does aot seotu to be
morally improving. If tha numbr of
•mailer crimes is diminishing in any
parts of tho State wc can only account
for it is easier to convict parties
ol smaller crimes like petty Isrcuy and
affray, thai it i» to lueci th« deiuaud* ol
justice agaiust those aucuscd of higher
offences, and this fear of conviction may
be acting as a warning lessou against
tba oomniissiou of smaller crimes.
