who has already represented the district
on the floor ef the Federal House with

r The' State executive oommittee de
cided on the 11th inst. to call no State
convention tMs year. An. address is iu
courso of preparation, containing the
reasons of the comn ittee for this course
of action, and will be published in a tew
days. I
" Certain parties in tho State profes
sing to dissent from the views of the
cemmittee. have taken it upon them
selves to call a convention and are dis
tributing a paper for that purpose.
They say their convention is for the
purpose of "electing a new State com
mittee," and "to take into considera
tion the nomination of candidates."
; Now my purpose in sending out this
letter in advance of the regular address
of the committee is to prevent the mis
leading tendencies sought to be made
by these opponents of tho committee's
action. . I
.;' So far as heard from, and members of
the committee heard from moBt efthem
there was but one voice among these
signcrs of this convention call, and thai
was against putting out a ticket; They
only wanted to elect a new committee
to preserve a legal organization of the
party.
I The committee took he ground that
it was not necessary to hold a conven
tion for this purpose, that it had the
legal right to postpone the calling of a
convention for two years more, and
that the legal organization xf the party
would not be affected by it. There
are plenty of precedents lor this, trd
ihere is no doubt about the legality of
it Tho committee cares nothing for
its own perpetuation and only thought
of the propriety of nominating a ticket
It was unanimous on this point. Even
the membor Mr. Bledsoe who voted for
a convention, was opposed to putting
out a ticket The members of the commit
tee took into consideration and with
duo difference that large class of patrio
tic republicans who want a ticket to vote
Jc ut being in a position as they believed
to understand the situation, , they felt
hat this was not the time, and their
explanation will be given in the forth
cornice address. Thoso present who
erenow promoters of this convention
0all being of the fame opinion, namely
that no ticket should be nominated, 0
'course but the more, oonfirmed the
oommittee against a convention.
I The committee was carcrui to givo
tjmo and opportunity to tho party to
express itself as to tho call of a conven
tion. It did get a very large expression
of such opinion against a convention,
and a very small expression in favor of
it. It asked for the-will of the party
It was plain, honest and straightforward
in all it did, and the members believe
they did what the party wished, and

of the party think so, whether they a."

will treat these mischief-makers, this
rump concern that can bring nothing
but trouble to the party, as it deserves
' The Greensboro North 8tate edito
rially attempts to make believe that

To th Kcpublleana of Jlortb Carolina
i SOORCHIKQ R1TLT TO THI CIRCULAR LST-
:i - TSB OF DK J J MOTT.
Cor. of Thk Nkws and Observer.
Ualbioh, N. C, Aug. 23, 1886.
i The abovo circular letter of J. J.
Mott, who signs himself chairman, dated
August 19th, ' 1880, is intended
to be a reply to the address and call for
a republican btate convention to be held
in Raleigh, on Wednesday, September
22d, next, as issued and .signed by my
self and eleven other republicans.
This self-constituted chairman says
bis purpose in sending out his circular
letter is to prevent the misleading ten-
denaies sought to be made by those op
posed to the action of the late republi
can State committee in refusing to call
State convention. The misleading ten
dencies, I presume,' are intended to rer
fer to the nomination of candidates for
judges of the supreme and superior
oonrts ; and the fact is dwelt upon that
those favoring a convention are opposed
to the nomination of a State judicial
ticket. The defunctus chairman
then draws the conclusion from his
our peculiar manner of acting and rea
soning that the republicans of the State
are to be induced to attend the Stat
cob vent ion for the purpose of nominat
ing a ticket, and after the delegates
reach Raleigh no ticket will be nomi
nated. I quote from the address and
call for a convention as follows:
"Therefore, with this view of the law.
and for the purpose of preserving the
organization ot the repubkean party,
the undersigned request the republicans
of the several counties to hold conven
tions strictly under the plan of organi
sation and elect delegates and alternates
to a rtpublioan State convention, to be
held iu the eity of Raleigh, Wednesday,
September 22,. 1886, to elect a new
State oommittee, to take into considera
tion the nomination of candidates for
obif jutt ce and associate justices of
the supreme court, and for judge of
the superior court, and for the trinjae-
UQjk 01 uca omex pjuiaesj as ue coa-
vention may adjudge for the best inter
ests of the party." i
The work of the convention, when
assembled, is explicitly stated to be
the election of a new State cooyontion
The plan of organisation authorizes no
discretion iu this matter. Thoi ufluiial
head of t,he party "shall be biennially
elected at a State convention, shall
choose one of their number chairman,
and shall elect a secretary who 1h not a
member, who shall reside at Raleigh."
00 mat wnen tne convention meeui, a
State committee muat be elected, and
when the party law has been complied
with in this respect, the transaction of
any and all other business will then be
in tho sonnd discretion of the delegates
present. : Whatever may be the opinion
of myself and the other signers of the
call for a convention as to the
wisdom of nominating a: State
judicial ticket, we bad no more
right to limit and : restrict
the convention to the election of a ne
State committee, than the ; functus
officio chairman and his committee had
to wilfully violate the organic law of
the party by refusing to call a State
convention. When assembled Wednes
day, the 22d day of September next,.
the republican State convention will
then "take into consideration the nomi
nation of candidates for chief justice
and associate justices of the supreme
court, and for judges of the superior
court' and "the transaction of such
other business as the convention may
adjudge for the best interests of the
party." And it may of service to in
the ex-chairman to inform him that the
delegates who will assemble in Raleigh
in Sute republican convection on tLa
22nd of September next, will be
men spontaneously selected by the re
publicans of their counties, because
of their ability and known integrity to
the principles of the party. . They will
not be eeleoted because they are red
legged and wear the halter of the ex
revenue ring, to "be be brought to
Raleigh ; by assessments made on them
by the ring bosses, to do the bid
ding of tha ring master and his assis
tants, in like manner as trained monkeys
in the circus ring. Republican State
conventions, made up in part of such
material, no doubt under protest by
many delegates, and manCged in this
way, have been held in Raleigh since
lb ib. It is certain that no convention
of like kind will ever again assemble in
Worth Carolina. The despotism.' of th
Internal revenue ring, which eilsted in
this State from 1879 to Match
1885, was vulgarly arrogant, had
no respect for the opinion of
the republioan masses, wielded its
power more autocratically than the Czr
of rtussia. and acted unon the brinoiol
that the republican voters hadnoprinoi
pies or wisnes mat tnis spawn or
vicious and infernal system was; bound
to respect. The signers of the eonven
tion call do not intend to be guilty of
such eondaot. They eon Id not if they
would. 1 They have no hundreds of men
under and dependent upon them for
their ofitoes and the oonaequent support
01 wives and families derived therefrom
Therefore,! they eannot lap a ring around
the neeks of these men and let them dis
tinctly understand that their slightos
with must be implioiiy obeyed under
paiu of instant discharge. Such has been
tho notorious oouduot of the republican
revenue ring 01 ints ocate, composed or 1
was of not more than a dozen men
Its Iead.-r sinoe 1880, has been Ir
John J. iViott. A man better fitted for
the place could not have been eeleoted
Bold and aggressive considering at al
times tne end justihes the means
rudely impatient of judgment differing
from his, ; and never tolerating the
thwarting of his will: such a man iacx
chairman Mott. Of such .material the
tyrants of history were made.1 Bat it
would be well for the ex chairman to
understand, that the Republicans ot the
State are Free Men once more. They
know their rights and knowing dare
maintain them. j ?
The second point made by ! the ex-
chairman is that the late republican
State oommittee had the legal right to
postpone the calling of a 8tate conven
tion for two years more, and that there
are plenty of precedents for this course.
TL - J lit . . . 1 1 -
auc reader win examine tne pian 01 or
ganization again and again without find
ing any! authority whatever for this
mere assertion of the ex-leader. If
there prel plenty of precedents why not
uue jusfc one. 101 one is quoted in tne
circular letter of the revenue Czar. It
cannot be said that the action ! of th
republican oommittee of the Stte of
New York in refusing to call a eonven
tion is a precedent for the action of
the late committee of this State. In
New Yerk the Republican State con
vention of last year specially" con
ferred the authority upon their' State
committee not to call a convention this
year if they did not deem it advisable
to do so. It will not bo contended that
any such power was conferred' by the
republican state convention of, j May
1884, and it docs not exist either ex
prcssly or by implication anywhere in
the plan of organization
lhe ex chairman says "tho committee
cares nothing for its own perpetuation
and only thought of the propriety of
nominating a ticket.
lhis assertion would be much' more
convincing had the lata committee ac
cepted the issue made before it and
called a convention. The friends of the
old oommittee and those in favor of a
new one would then have been face to
face and ballot for the committeemen at
large would have exhibited the views
of the majority of the convention.
Tho failure to call a .convention
looks very much like tho late committee
was afraid to go before the republicans
of the State in convention assembled
and ask a re-electioa as an endorsement
of their administration of the affairs of
the party for the past two years, and as
an expression of eocfi lenoe for the next
term. Men keenly alive to the foot that
they are occupying positions which the
party desires to thrust upon others.
would have been auick to have staked
all and lost or won all; upon the voU
of a State convention as soon as it could
have been legally gotten together. ;
ine f olio wine paragraph Ironi the cir
cular letter is quoted entire;
The oommittee was oareful to give
time and opportunity to the party to ex
press itself as to the eaU of a conven
tion. It did a?tt a- verv large tzDrettum

The late oojiiUiittee may have had a
very large expreaaion of opinion against
a oouvcutiou. Mr. (Jilbert, the secre
tary, says only one letter; agaiunt:
convention was read in committee
meeting and that was from Mr A.. M.
Moore. Tho s-cretary also savs that
there was a letter advising the call of a
convention and the nomination of
State ticket from Mr. J. W. Hardin, of
Graham, that chairman Mott: did not
permit to bo read at the meeting on the
10th inst. The secretary Bays further
that he has no other letters in his pos
session touching the subject of a con
vention. As to the honesty of the com-&
mittce, such Republicans as
are familiar with the unparal
leled outrage perpetrated upon the re
publicans of this State in 1880, when
sixteen of the twenty delegates to the
national republican convention at
Chicago, were obtained by the Stat-3
dommittee under the lead of Dr. Mott,
hy suppressing the voice of lhe republi
can masses, and were persistently voted
against ine greatest nero ot modern
times at Chicago in 1880; and such re
publicans as know of and remember the
closo corporation that existed in 1881.
with chairman Mott as its leader in this
State, to give the twenty votes to Mr
Arthur because Mr. Arthur: was for
chairman Mott and I his ring, have
their opinion; and in view of thei
Manipulation of the State in 1888,
and the trading in delegates to
the next national republican convention
or that year, in the light of patt events
that opinion cannot be a mystery to the
ordinary observer
; Having discovered that other republi
cans have opinions and are prepared to
assert and enforoo them, in oppoes'tion
to his judgment, the ex-chairman
chooses to denounce the signers of the
convention call as a "rump-concern.
that can bring nothing but trouble to
the party." This exhibition bf blather
skite by the ex-chairman is perfectly
harmless, and the use of such coarse
languago is conclusive evidence ib at
the writer was provokingly in need of
precedent, authority, and argument, to
Sustain the false position be has taken

mat the signer to the convention

the testimony of a single witness to
Support it On this line it is easy to prove
by the election returns that J. J. Mott
when actually and legally chairman of
the republican State eommittee, wb not
capable of winning success for the re
publican party. In 1882, Dock cry
would have been elected over rJennett
and the lower house of the legislature
would have contained a republican ma
jority, but for the same domineering
and arbitrary spirit that now prt vaus,

Xoik Was 17.0U0, being 4 000 larger
than that counted against the gallant
Sett'e in 187b, and nearly three times
larger than that'eouuted against the
pure and incorruptible Buxton in 1880.
From a few hundreds against Dockery
w ii,vvv against xora, witnin twenty
four months, is proof as strong as figures
can make it, that the engineer and pro
moter of such an increase of Democratio
majorities "can bring nothing but
trouble to the party," so long as he is
permitted to occupy the chair of. leader
ship.

congressional, judicial, senatorial, and
county executive committees ao not in
terfered with in any way by the State
committee, but are left so do as they

tiOns. Let nobody be deceived."
Aud in order to preserve the organ i
it tion of the party in all its parts, the
republicans intend to. have a rousing
btate convention in xtaletgh
ri a
September next, and elect a
committee, and execute such
in ess ad may commend itself to the im

And when the convention has cHiourned
no one will be deceived by the results

to prevent the destruction of the party
by disbanding the organisation in the

position on tne noid of battle, and
against those who are trying to disrun
the party, and who propose to make no
contest at a time when our prospects are
better than at any period sinco 182
Already, a convention is fully assured.
Letters to this effect are being received
every day from leading republicans in
the different counties. Keep the ball
rolling and the last vestige of the late
revenue ring will be ground to dust and
scattered to the four winds of heaven to
dominate no more in the councils of the
republican party.

The judioiary of our Btate has, with
few exceptions, always had and Re
served the respect of the people; but-
very few of our own citizens protcrly
appreciate the learning and ability of
our superior court judges who are now
presiding in our oourts.
It is a fact not generally known not
even thought probable that we have
now on the superior court bench in
North Carolina the abb st corps of judges
of any State in the TJnion. This is no
idle AMbcrtion, but is capable of proof as
full as can be made in such matters,
offered u in the report of the American
bar association That highly intelli
gent body appointed a committee of the
very ablest lawyers in the United
rJtates, David D. Field and John F.
Dillon being of tho number, "to con
sider and r 1 port whether the present de
lav and uncertainly in judicial ad
ministration can be ksfened, and if so,
by what means " Their report dbc'oBcs
the fact that there is greater certainty
and less delay in North Carolina than in
any other Sute. It appears that in
some of the States on ) half of the oases
carried up by appeal to the supreme
court are reversed when reviewed, in
some one-third; while in our own State, to
the credit of our superior court judges,
only one cate in six carried up to the
supreme court by appeal is reversed
This is taking an average of all the
cases. (Ji.coure there are good judges
and better judges; it is not our purpose
to Bay which is the ablest.
When we remember that even the
lawyers who lose do not question the
correctness of the ruling of the judge in
more than one case out of ten, it seems
that our superior court judges are right
in fifty-nine out of every sixty rulings
that they make. Iff then, we reeallthe
incidents of the several trials in court
and recount the many objections, ex
ceptions and points made in each case,
npon which the judge has to rule on the
spur of the moment without time to
consult authorities or even for deliberate
consideration, the accuracy and scope of
learning must be such as to commend
our jadges to the people. And if new
judges are needed - for the supreme
court, the very best men may be found
among the able and well trained jurists
now on the superior Court bench.
