rejoice in t!ie call occasioned by J
the coming election and the op
portunity thus offered to lift up
again iti the midst of the people
of North Carolina the banner of
the Democratic party as a sure
standard of their rights and the
unfailing guide of I heir progress,
and we reaffirm our allegiance
to the cardinal j'rinciples of Dem
ocratic government and congrat
ulate the ieople of North Caroli
na upon the wisp, progressive
and economic. d administration
of the affairs of the government
since the return oil he Democrat
ic party to power in this State.
We commend to the people of
North Carolina thecousideration
of the success with which the af
fans have been administered by
the Democratic officials and the
clean, efficient and economical
conduct ol the Siutegoveinineiit
from the day of the return to
power of the Democratic party,
and we realtirm the declarations
of our party upon the questions
of the extension and improve
ment and upbuilding of the in
lernal affairs of the State and
the institutions provided by the
State for the care of our citizen
ship, both charitable and educa
tional, and pledge ourselves to
the continuation, upbuildmgand
development thereof.
We pledge ourselves to the con
tinued development of the inter
nal affairs of the State: to the
continuation of the policy ol ed
ucation hi h has been carried
forward with such success under
the Democrat it: ndministi ations;
to the further development of lo
cal improvements; to the main
tenance of the institutions for
the insane, deaf, dumb and blind
und to tho extension of these in
stil ut ions to meet the demands
upon the State and the needs of
the unfortunate who require the
care .and maintenance ol thegov
ernment. We pledge ourseives to the
continued aid and assistance of
the Confederate soldier and de
mand that legis'ation shall make
ample appropriations for his com
furt and care.
We commend and approve the
administration of Governor W.
W. Kitchen and the other State
officials, and commend und ap
prove our Senators and Repre

Internal development and im
provement tend to the upbuild
ing ol any citizenship and we
take pride in the progress that
has been made under Democrat
ic government in the building of
roads und theextension of means
ol comniuniration and transpor
tation nil oyer the State, and we
particularly approve ol the work
in this behalf by the Good Roads
Association of North Carolina.
We recognize the great growth
and improvement of the State
along material and intellectual
lines under the policy of the Dem
ocratic party in the support and
maintenance of the common
school system of North Carolina,
and the pledge of the party here
tofore made of a four months'
free school in every district of
the State has been fully met, and
we promise the continued sup-
Iport aud ltn Movement of the
public school system of the State
and the extension of the same
to the institutions of the State
for higher education, to the end
the encouragement ami dev-'lop
incut of the agricultural inter
ests in such schools.
The supervision and control of
public, service corporations is a
will recognized light ol theState
and national government and
wc pledge ourselves to the n-
forcemant of this right in the in-
terest of the people of the State,
consistent with fair just treat
ment of the public service corpo
rations, and no public service
corporation shall grant any spe
cial privileges to any person or
corporation.
Private monopolies are incon
sistent with the growth and de
velopment of internal affairs of
the State and the liberties ol the
people and should not be allowed,
We are opposed to illegal combi
ntiods in restraint of trade,
trusts and monopolies, and fav
or the enactment of such laws as
will make their exislencc imposs
sible. We condemn Ihe unjust and
unreasonable discriminations in
freight rates against the towns
and cities of North Carolina and
in favor of the cities ol other
States. ,
We pledge ourselves to the fos
tering and encouragement of all
legitimate enterprises and devel
opments that may be located
within the borders of this State,
and in the administrations of
the laws no legitimate enterprise
shall be injured.
We condemn and denounce the
tariff policy ol the Republican
party as enacted in the Aldi ich
Payne bill, and we declare the
same to be the most iniquitous
tariff burden ever placed upon
the l.'nited States, formulated in
behalf of sectional interests and
fostering the trusts and combi
nations of the country tit the cn
pense of the great mass of the
people- and in spite of the prom
ises of the Republican party that
prosperity would follow itsadop
tion, we cull attention to the
present commercial condition of
the country, its idie factories, in
dustries and unemployed opera
ti ves.
We denounce the extravagant
and unbusinesslike administra
tion of the of the national gov
ernment by the Republican par
ty, whereby there has been a
useless expenditure of over -o00-000,000
annually of the people's
money.
We call attention to the lail
ure of the lb-publican party to
revise Ihe tariff in accordance
with the pledges of its platform
und its promises.
We demand an enactment of
a tariff for revenue only to meet
the expense (.1 a government eco
nomically administered.
