January, 1880, The Observes, neyer
neutral, published these sentiments tin
der its editorial head:
"The Obsebveb has been put down
as unfavorable to the sale proposed by
the syndicate. This is not strictly its
position. Where we do stand may
easily be denned. If. after an investi
gation of the whole subject by some
commission representing the best in
terests of the State, it is found that it
will be to the advantage of the State to
sell out her unfinished undertaking,
then we are for the sale. We would
not like to see the State's interest in
this grand North Carolina enterprise
sacrificed in the interest of the New
York syndicate, the Mud Cut" boom,
or any other "boom," unless the real
nterests of the State are to be subserved
. thereby. We said, and we repeat, if it
is a good thing for the New York syn
dicate to buy Ihe road, it might be a
good thing for north uaroiina to hold
on until she can command her own
terms. We do not wish to be fright
ened into any line of policy which may
be regretted in after years. If this
means opposition to the sale of the
Western North Carolina Bailroad, then
so be it; if on the contrary, as .we
think, it is merely following out-p ro
dent counsels In the interests off the
people's property' then we take the responsibility.-

he has not done so. Is there anything
