letter 1 told yon I would have some-
thing to say of the record of the
Democratic ud Kepubiioan parties
in this county. I want you to in
vestigate the records and see if what
1 have to say is true. I lay down
the charge that the Ik-publican party
in this count', while in office, was
incompetent, reckless and extrava
gant, and it i my purpose to prove
the truth of this assertion.
In 1898 sheriff Kidding was al
lowed $1,9?3.A8 as insolvent taxes.
Iu 1699 he was allowed $1,709.45
for the same pui pose. In 1898 the
fusion board of comnii-'Hioiiers re
leased 1004 polls, and in 1899 nine
handled1 nun one polls were released.
$1.50 of each (toll tax goes to the
school fund. A simple calculation
shows that the schools loitt $2,857.50
iu the years 1898 end If 99, because
the Republican sheriff failed to do
his duty.
The HepublicRti sheriff and treao.
urer had not ' settled in the thnc
vea'S previous to the pri-sent Demo.
t:ratic administration. The sheriff
laid in his possession $U,167.8fj
co 'in tv funds which t-houltl have
been in the hands of the treasurer,
but he did tip' pay it over unti
forced to do so by a Democratic
treasurer aud board of county coui
niief iom rs. While Sheriff Ifedding
v:is holding buck this money the
(.unity va in debt and needed every
cent of it. Comity orders were not
worth their lane value, and reckless
ness and extravagance were apparent
everywhere. El wood Five was a
iputy under Sheriff ludding. Do
u i.-n supi'O.-e that the people will
ho afraid to ti '.ft lit i)t r Will he ask
or big insolvent lists as Sheriff Red-
ug did? Will he hold back the
county mouey as Sheriff Redding
id? Sheriff Redding was his in
structor, and we have reason to be-
ieve he will follow the teachings of
his nuuter.
On the big insolv 'nt list of 1898
some names appear twice. In Frank-
uvillo Township there are two
names on the lift twice; in Triuity
'ownship, one; aud in Tabernacle
Township, three. On the insolvent
list of 1898 you will find a woman s
name charged with $3,56 tax (Frank-
nville Township) and released as
nsolvfiit. By referenc to the minu
tes of the bonrd of county commis
sioners May 7, 1900, you will find
that Sheriff Redding was refunded
taxes to the amount of $270.90. By
examining the occounto allowed at
that meeting you will find the above
Oman's name and the same amount
of tax $3.56. Before you again in
vite me to join the Republican party
please explain how your county com
missioners ever managed to refund
insolvent tax, that is, tax that had
never been collected. When a board
if Democratic county commissioners
came into power Sheriff Redding
was forced to collect the taxes, and
to settle with the county Treasurer
very thirty days, as the law says the
sheriff shall do.
Sheriff Finch collected the taxes
more closely than any sheriff has
ever done in this county. He has
paid over the money promptly to the
Treasurer. Why not re-elect him?
If Sheriff Finch doesn't beat Elwood
Free by a thousand majority this
writer will be very muoh disappoint
ed, for scores of good Republicans
who are not blinded by prejudice and
led by revenue officers nve an
nounced their intention of voting
for him.
Your candidates say they are in
favor of public educatl"n. There is
nothing iu the record of the Repub
lican party which encourages as to
believe it. When tbey were in power
in the state directly after the war
they closed the University, almost
all the public schools, ana toon
$158,000 of the school find to pay
themselves as legislator, at the rate
of $7.00 a day. During fusion they
spent $442,280.82 more iu four years
for schools than the previous demo
cratic administration spent foi the
same purpose iu the same length of
time, jet they increased tne average
school term only one day. In 1903
the Democrats spent $364,699.37
mora for schools than the f usionisU
spent in 1898, yet the ayerage school
term Wat 2.01 weeks longer. Uo
yoa any encouragement in that
for those who have been toting the
Republican ticket?
Your party ran the schools of this
county 14.14 weeks in 1899 at an
average salary of $23.00 per month.
Tn 1904 under the Democrat the
ohuols have ran 17.il per; month.

Do you see in this any encourage
ment to vote the Republican ticket?
I further make the assertion that
the Republican party is the party of
high tuxes. Last yeBr the people of
Randolph county were taxed $46,
out) for state, county, roads and
schools. The expenses of the
national Republican adniinintrution
amount to $7.10 forevry man wo
man and chiid in the United States.
There are about 30.000 people in
Kiindolph county. 30,000 times
$7.10 is f;! 13,1)00, Randolph's part
of the expenses of the national lie-
publican administration. During last
four vears of Ulevelanu s auminiHtra-
tion tin1 total expenses of the nation-.
al government amounted to $1 758,
699,216.43. Roosevelt's four years
has cost $2,641,724,019.18, or $883
024,802.75 more than Cleveland's
four Tears. Roosevelt's increase
ahmc amount. to $18,696,350 per
mouth, $623,211 a day, $25,967 an
hour, oi $43 a minute.

the hiirhe.it assessment of the Demo
crats immediately preceding fusion,
the highest assessment during fusion,
and the highest assessment of the
present Democratic administration,
and compare them you will find
again that the Republican party is
the party of high taxes and high as-
eifinents, too. 1 he fusioiiists in-
reused the assessment more than
the Democrats have ever increased it.
You can verify this statement by an
examination of the abstracts on file
in the office of the Register of Deeds,
aud I challenge any Republican to
isprove it. The Kepublicau party
is the partv of high taxes in the
couutv, in the state, and in the nation.

PRINCIPLES,
ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27th, 1904.
Object Lesson in
The above shows what actually took place at the Republican convention which nominated Roose
velt and Fairbanks at Chicavro.
lican party a littlo negro boy, the son of a nepio delegate from Alabama, stepped out upon the plat
form, escorting a little white girl. Standing there together these two children waved United States
flags in honor cf Mr. Roosevelt's nomination. A traveling man from North Carolina was there and
saw this disgusting spectacle. A few Southern Republicans are denying that this took place, but
there are hundreds of men who were present and saw it, and it is useless to deny the truth. This is
in line wilh the President's policy. He dined with the negro Booker Washington, he appointed the
neirro Crum Collector of the Port at Charleston, he had a negro Harry Smythe Cummings, of Balti
more, to second his nomination;
thu little white girl should have been placed upon a platform side by side as an evidence of Mr.
Roosevelt's sentiment respecting social equality. No doubt this was done to catch the negro vote in
the doubtful states of the North. If Mr. Roosevelt must have the negro vote in the doubtful states,
let Southern men answer the insult by refusing to give him a single white vote in the South. Smith

JOINT DISCUSSION AT STAR.
A Correspondent Tells How Mr. Brlttain
Handled Mr. Talley.
Mr. Editor: We had a joint polit
ical discussion in our town last Mon
day night, the 17th, by Messrs Men-
denball, Brittain and Talley.
Miss Minnie Stewart and Captain :
Siler, previous to the speaking cn- J
tertained the audience with selections !
of music on the piano forte. Mr I
Long, of Biscoe, introduced Mr
Mendenhall and was very careful o !
tell as something that we all knew, i
viz: that Mr Meudeuhall was not a
Railroad Magnate. Mr Meudeuhall !
commenced his speech of one hour by
stating that he was in favor of joint j
discussions and of discussing the
present issues only, and then jumped
right straight to Cleveland's second
term, aud gave us a long tirade on
the bond issues, soup kitchen aud
hard times of that time. lie forgot
to tell us of the prosperity of Cleve
land's first term and that wages were
higher then than they have ever
been since. His memory was also so
short that he actually couldn't re
member to tell that the cotton fac
tories iu his own town had been shut
down most of this year. I guess he
did not know any better, but thought
Cleveland was still the cause of it, lie
was either ashamed of his candidate
for President or maybe he forgot who
he was for. He only mentioned Roose
veil's name one time. He talksd foi
full hour. He then introduced
Mr John T Brittain. John made a
tine talk as the' representative of our
old and admired citizen, Mr W 11
Watkms and next State Senator.judg
ing from the applause given to John
after some of his hard licks. Demo
cracy may be considered safe as far
as Star is concerned. Mr Talley was
the next speaker and spoke of his op
poueut, Mr Watkins as being a high
toned gentleman. I guess some ot
the Star people had told him they
bad kuown Mr Watkins low these
mauy years. The principle point of
his speech, was the stealing of votes
in Randolph county by the Demo
crats. If ai party (by the by Mr
Editor which is his party) never did

Ex-Attorney General Walser ei "The
White Letter."
Six years ago, during the cam
paign the Republicans said that
they had a letter written by Hon.
Francis D Winston to the negro
George White.
Judge Winston hearing of the
claim, called for the letter. The
Republicans suddenly ceased talking
about it, and nobody is alive wbo
will assert he ever saw the letter that
is being circulated. The Republi
cans never permitted anybody to se
the letter and in that campaign the
Republicans never alluded to it
again after Judge Winston's demand
for its production. This was very
strange when the Radicals were so
sorely pressed on the race question
in that year.
The reason why the Republicans
have never shown the alleged letter
is now apparent. THERE WAS
NO SUCH LETTER, It was
miserable campaign fraud as the fol
lowing statement from ex-Attorney
General Z V Walser, quoted by the
Lexington Dispatch shows:
"The slanderous cartoons circulate
ed on the eve of Judge Winston's
speech failed of their purpose. It
was done to prejudice people and
' keen them from the speakinsr. But
1 the latge crowd present showed that
the people in the community are not
u oe innuenceu oy sucn meinour.
The entire lfiiie is simply a part
of the Republican plan to falsify the
situation, to becloud the issues,
They have falsified and changed
their own platform on the Watt's
bill. In this connection the editor
of the Dispatch will remark that

AN INQUIRY ANSWERED.
Thirteen Reasons Given Why Yon Should
Vote the Democratic Ticket.
The Republicans are distributing
throughout this county (and proba
bly all over the State) a circular giv
ing thirteen reasons," Why yoa should
not the vote the Democratic ticket,"
which we will answer seriatim, as
follows:
1. "It is the party of aristocrat
and boa tons."
This is not true, but it is the
writs man's party, and a large ma
jority of tne men net only in north
Carolina but in the United States
are Democrats. More white wage-
earners and laborers are Democrat
than are Republicans.
2. "It creates offices for the Dent'
ocratic politicians."
This is not true, but it is true that
tie lusion Legislatures of 1895 and
1897 created more offiees than any
Democratic Legislature ha ever
done since them. And not only did
these fusion Legislatures create so
mauy offices, but they filled many of
them with negroes;
3. "It has burdened the farmei
by raising taxes and increasing the
valuation of his lands. (Proof
compare your tax receipts of 1903
with those of previous years.)
This is not true. The rate of tax
ation for State purposes is less now
than it was under Fusion rule, aud
the rate in this county (including
the road tax) is less now tbaa it was
the last year of Fusion rule. If there
is a farmer in Randolph whose land
is valued higher than be would take
fvr it, mime aim: wow, "put up or
shut up."
4. "It has taxed the merchants
of the State until they cau hardly
ranain in business."
This is not ti ue. The last Legis
lature reduced the license tax on
merchants, especially on small mer
chants, and we defy any man to name
any merchant who has failed to "re
main in business on account of the
increasn in taxes on merchants.
"It increased the number of
Superior Court Judges and Solicitors
from twelve to sixteen, when twevle
could easily have done the work."
It is not true that "twelve couia
easily have done the work," for on
the account of the increase in busi
ness and population sixteen are kept
as busy now as twelve used to be.
Mo doubt, there are many Kepubii-
uns who wish there were no Judges
or solicitors:
"It increased Governor Ay-
cock's salary 'ram $3,000 to $4,000,
and furnished him a mansion to liv
Yes, and the last Republican Gov
ernor (Russell) strongly urged it in
his last message. Aycock s salary is
not as large as the salary of a ma
jority of the Republican Governors
in me unuea amies, sou u ivussuu
got $3,000 a year surely Aycock is
wetl worth $4,000 and cheap at that!
7. "Its present btate administra
tion cost the taxpayers of the State
the enormous sum of $2,201,604.31
during the year 1903, or nearly as
much as the entire four years of
Govemer Vance's administration."
Vance was elected Governor near
ly thirty years ago when the ordinary
expenses of the tate were much less
than now, and his administration was
net called on to pay anv of the extra
expenditures that are now deemed
necessary and demanded by tne State
Republican platform. If we com
pare the expenditures of last year
with the expenditures of the last
year under Russell we will find the
former were $157,166.67 less than
the latter, after deducting the in
creased expenditures for schools,
pensions and charitable institutions.
The disbursements in 1900, the last
year of Russell's administration,were
more than tnree times as great as tne
total disbursements in 1880, the last
year of the Vance-Jarvis administra
tion, auu Kusseii spent aunng me
last year of his administration for
school, asylums and pensions to con
federate soldiers fbdl,oo7.77 less
than ,he Democrats spent in 1903
for the same purposes.
8. "It conceals from the voter its
plans and purposes until it has se
cured his vote, and then it passe
drastic measures depiiving the
honest farmers of privileges which it
bestows upon the inhabitants of cities
and towns.
This, of course, is intended as an
attack on the Watts law, but
hardly think that the "honest farm
ers" feel aggrieved or deprived of
any "privileges by abolishing bar
rooms and whiskey stills throughout
the country I
9. "It has increased our Mate
debt over five hundred thousand dol
lars."
And it should be added that i
arge part of it was on account of
contract made by Kussell s adminis
tration!
10. "It tried to impeach three
honorable Jndges of the Snpieme
Court for purely partisan purposes."
The only partisanship displayed in
the impeachment matter was by the
Republican members of the Legisla
ture. Every one of them voted
against impeachment, whereas Demo
crats divided, some voting xor ana
others sinunst impeachment.
11. "It so grossly mismanaged
the Atlantic & Aorth Carolina rail
road that the people of the State
rose in their might and demanded
it lease.
Thi is not true. That road wa
far better managed under it tatt
administration than it wa endav
Fusion rale, aad it wm chiefly
through Aycock's efforts that a satis
factory lease wae aecared.
