Today the Deni(crac.y of Wake as
sembles in convention liere and a right
gallant and a f ormidale bdy it will
make. It is in better trim for battle
than for some tiitoe past, as the full
ness of the primaiies attest, and it
has therefore a fighting chance for
victory. -If we l& not mistake Its
mettle it is going fco inake the most
of this chance to ihe end tbat.Radi-,
calism may be we4de4 oui for .good
and all from the acas of honor and
trust in the county.
If we all stau4 together; if we
lay all difference; among ourselves
aside; if wtfeonsti jute ourselves each
a committee of one, to et out the
full Democra ic vvlote and secure all
other votes possible, we can win, and
the possibility of j permanenf. relief
from the mortiflqation, if not the
curse, of Radical fale should spur us
on to our very bejs endeavors.
L&t us clear out the court housr.
Let us sweep it clean of the last ves
tige of Radicalirjji and put into it
men representatrve of the tax paying,
property holding) jelassea, of those
who givecharacten to :: the population
of the county, wh) are really inter

if we will. Let therefore will to

tLa take of our hbbiea aiid our fami

As we said yesterday we think it
would be well for all the nominations

pared to support t e uOtiinees heari
ily whencesoever j, iey may come, we

easier in view of fact that there
is do particular seeking after nomina

Don't forget that Nichols voted

as be certainly doeA, this Democratic
district1 VV'e mo si have a man to
succeed him who islands for some
thing other than'tpe blackest Radi

will represent the Vpal interests of the

must have Bunn, the gallant, the elo

the successful farmer and the successr
ful manufacturer :s well a the suc

and, judging ; from thi accounta we

Fheiie is so much? error mixed in
wiiti w Vat Mr. Abertethy tajs in his
card that to combatit all would re
quire more space f (ban we can give
the matter. .
He i like. Don , Quixote, fighting
wind; mills whose sturdy arms sweep
powerfully around with force derived
froml ; natural c&use-f-a ga lant
knight errant wuhout hope of possi
ble success. That he has no anxiety
about the result ia only because te
fully understands that he is throwing
away,hit vote. The ballot, however,
was notgiven him to throw away. It
wss given by the people of this Stile,
by hie fellow beings here, to be used
in determining practical issues at the
polls,; Prohibition is not in issue.
We cannot put it in' issue. Hardly
one pe.repn in a hundred will fceparato
himself om the other people on that
question. It is a question of
great; importance, but ; it is net
in issue here today in North Caro
lina. It was in issue a few years back,
wlienl Dockery led' the Libeial-Anti
combination hosts ? against it and
swalidwed up its advocates in a ilb
jontyyof 180,000 (1). .
Tte wisdom of tryingto make ii
aD issue is not for us to discus heie;
but it is apparent that'the adherents
of' prohibition did not promote their
cause whn they made it a State issue
in 18ifl. ; They doubtl. ss, admit that
their actiou then was unfortunate for
their ? cause. The . Democrats had
provided machinery ! for local
option apd the . feeling of the peo
ple locally was : ; being tebtta
with result that must have been
very eat is factory to the prohibition
ists. I Indeed, North Carolina was.
rapid) following inj the footsteps of
Georgia, where five sixthsiof therftftte
had adopted '-'local prohibiuon," when
the Scate issue was made largely levers
ing public sentiment' Mr Ab methy
now pfopps 8 to force the qntstion
from "local option"' into a Slate iatu
again 4s wbtn Dockery .ed the ISO,-
000 and more against it. But we do
not propose to discuss that aspect of
the matter.
The question, as important as it is,
Cannot be made a State issue while
public sentiment attaches supei ior
importance to political subjects. Mr.
Abernethy certainly understood this
and expects only a vefy few voU e to
be cast; f 6 him. Hepropbses mi rely
to throw away his vote. Tu s is what
Col. Dockery wants him do, and to
that ixlent he is playing the tole thit
Dockery desires. He may as well nut
rote. A yote that ia on neither dt
the issues, before the people has no
effect in determiaing the result of tne
questions ia tho pubiic miad; and as
tiie ballot wias' given to determine
siichresaltsi Mr.j Abernethy will not
be using his privilege as a c:tzn j
whtn j-e refrains from Lelprng to do

Cor. of-tlie News and Observer
I see frequent allusions in the pa

party in the South ;s us wis; .and din
gerous not only to the cause of
Prohibition, bu to oU' civil and po
litical institut ouf.
Local optiou ia not all that we want
The law as it now stands ia crude am'
imperfect and therefore its cpe.atioi,
difficult. Hut local option, with ali
its faults, has proven a blessing to
to those communities where it has
boeu faithu'.ly tested, an 1 with our
population it is our only hope.. And
the large sections of North Carolina
under prohibition today are so because
of lecal option and special legislative
enactment for schools, ihurche, &c.
If the question was prohibition or
license 'he position of the temperance
people would be clear, but there can
be no doubt in the mind of any cne
as to the result of the present or-
anization of the Third party in
:orth Oatolina. A large majority of
the voters will come from the Demo
cratic party, and just so far as tho
vote of the Third party increases, the
strength of the Democratic party de
creases. So that, the question for
each prohibitionist to decide now is
thiB :
Which political party do I prefer
to have in power in North Carolina
the Democratic or Republican?
Writh either a$ a political parly we
will have the saloons. We know that,
and therefore it ia a choice of which
party, with tbe sa'oonpj the proLlbi
tionists prefer. There can be no hope
of electing Mr. Walker or any of the
Third party candidates. So that we
are to have the saloons after tbe clec
tion as we have them now.
"But four years from now we will
come into power," some of tbe Third
party men tell us.
Upon what ground this is believed
I cannot possibly see. Whenever
those opposed to prohibition find a;i
organization of an magnitude against
them tfcey will come together iu one
elTo:4, bs they did in 1BSI, and the
result is ttii-ily Ptnted.
0 ir only hop -, I epeit, is through
local option in reaching h'se localities
tlat we can control.

for voting ih'i Democratic ticket a!
that time admitted of uo que-tion or
doubt. The same conditions exist
todaj ; and aside from the national
issuer? that divide the two great par
ties here in No'th Carolina, tho
question Of race supremacy must bo
consideied. By th 's, I do not meat:
social equality. his I do not greatly
fear. But race supremacy is a fact
of past history under Re
publican rale in the Sou h,
and therefore is not only
possible but sure, if the Republicans
party succeeds I have no bitterness
of feeling in the matter. My record
for the past twenty yea s in this city
is the beat proof I can offer of my de
sire to elevate and promote the moral
and material good of the colored peo
pie, but I am not ready to commit to
their hands the government of North
Carolina municipal, county and
State. They-are not equal to it, or.
prepared for it. I am opposed to
their oppression in any way, and favor
their education and treaimentas other
citizens, but I do not relieve them
capable of controlling and properly
managing our government.
It may be said that there are good
men in the Republican party, and ttm
I grant is true, bo;h with regard to
white and colored. But.the best ele
ment of that parly, so far as my ob
set vatiou lias gone, have never been
able to control it There were as
many good meu in the Republican
party ia 18fi8-'9 as theie are today,
but they were uuabie to prevent the
excesses to. which that parly went at
I hat time.
Mr Dockeiy himself says that ho
came to Raleigh' duiiug the session
of the legislature when the act au
thorizing the Special Tax Bonds was
passed, and tiied to prevent the
same, but was unable to do so. As it
was then so it is now, the msjoiity of
the voters of ary paity give charac
ter to theileaders arid coutiol their
acts. 1 in Irue iu this city aud else-
where, so;far as I tan tee, that the
best element of the colored people
are not iable to lead their race,
Hence 1 am afraid for governmental
affairs to fall into their hands. Not
from any ill-will to them, but from
conscientious convictions,
For these reasons I do iot favor
the oiganization of the Third party,
and would warn I'- mocrats iu North
Carolina from participating iu the
same. We have msde rapid strides
m this State in educating our people
for prohibition, and if we will stand
by our party, we can advance still far
ther. But if we go into the Third
patty, acd ia so di ii g wenken the
Democratic party and cause its de
feat, we shall do the cause of prohi
bition lasting harm and bi ing up3n
ourselves and posterity great shame,
: with the possibilities of bmdemng us
I with hariiships grievous indeed.
I have brem induced to say this be-
1 cause pf my great concern for the
I cause of prohibitio n as well as my
j interest in the success of the Demo
! cratic partv. Without regard to party
! I have stood. side by side with those )
! of my friends engaged in tbe Third
party movement in former contests to i
. suppress the evils ci intemperance,
i anil With uli my heart and soul I am
! ready for service along the same ljne
J now and hereafter; but when I am
, called to go into a movement, the re
j suit of which can only be harm to
' our cause, and possibly place the
State of North Carolina in the hands j
of men that I am unwilling should
control it, uud also place this nation
back in the power of tbe party that
oppressed us for twenty years, and
under whose reign so many
trusts and combination- - were
formed to grind the poor and
helpless; making the few r;cbi r and
the many poo-e a party that had ao
little' legard for tnu over burdened
, tux -paern of 'bus country a to de
claro fcr free whisky, intend of pro
viding for hungry inoui Le, half clothed

I am a- k-.l to ;uro my b.ek i.n thi-D.-mcciunc
pa. ty, t iat has sro-d a
j the grent buiwa k to the whit-.t peo
! pie of the South, from the humilia
tion and degradation to which bit'er
hatred at the North would have sub
jected us. Whn I aui atktd to du
this my answer fur myself aud all
whom I cau intla uce is, Aro.
I call upon my brethren of the
Temperance cause in North Carolina
whoaie counidering this matter or
who have thought of joining wi h the
Third-pirty to tu lock anead eee
the tla.'-g r of hucU a courne. And
then let ns deteimiue to Mand by the
Democratic party' Hnd contend for
prohibition as we have been doing.
