The Commission ers will obey. —Some of the Mugwumps say they have started a new party. The grand old party is good enough for us. —The name of Judge E. W. Carpenter and Henry J. Loviek appearing upon the Mugwump ticket, the Advocate desires the Republicans of Craven to under stand that speaking against that ticket, the two gentlemen named are excepted, as they are the regular nominees of the Repub lican party, the Plan of Or ganization of that party not re cognizing Mass meetings. “Cheese Between.” Republicans of Craven, the issues are made up: “choose ye between” Republicanism on one side and Mugwumps on the other. The Republican conven tion met at the Theatre accord ing to the call of your executive committee on the Bth instant, and nominated your ticket. They have placed upon your ticket only true and tried Republicans, men whom you have always fouud ready and willing to fight your enemy, the Democratic party. Your nominees for the Legis lature, the Hon. George Green, Jr. and John E. Hussey, are Republicans of undoubted integ rity. You have chosen them before, and they have proven to you by their fidelity to the party that they were worthy of your choice. The county ticket is headed by your present Sheriff, Mayer Hahn. For six years he has served you well; his record as an officer stands untarnished. He has filled the office you in trusted to him with credit to himself and to you; lie has per formed his duties to the satisfac tion of the people. He has, dur ing liis administration, collected the taxes and paid over every dollar to your worthy county Treasurer. Your county records will show that he has collected more money and turned over a less number of insolveuts than any previous Sheriff. He has always stood by the Republican party in all its measures and actions. Only true and tried Republi cans have been placed upon your entire ticket. Men in full accord with all the policies and measures of the Republican par ty, both National and State. The opposite ticket that you are asked to support is made up of men not in sympathy with the Republican party, no mat ter how long some of them have been connected with that party. If to-day they are found in the ranks of the Democratic party trying to divide and destroy the Republican majority in our Co., they no longer deserve your support, aud cannot be classed as pure and patriotic Republi cans. They have nominated for the Legislature the Hon. C. C. Clark, a Mugwump Democrat, and Mr. Wm. B. Lane, a simon pure Democrat in full sympathy with all the measures aud poli cies of that party. It is not known where and with which party Mr. Clark affiliates. This county ticket, with the exception of Mr. E. W. Carpen ter, whose name has been placed upon their ticket to gain your support, is composed of that class of Mugwump Republicans who are striving to overthrow the Republican party in your county. A good many of you have preferred some of these men be fore they pj’oved themselves traitors to the Republican party by making an alliance and ask ing you to support Democrats. You have the regular Republi can ticket, aud the Coalition Mongrel Ticket Choose ye which you will support. —ls you have moved siuce the last election go as soon as the books are opened and get your certificate from your old voting Precinct and register where you now live. —The coalition ticket of Cra ven county, as it appears in the Journal’s Supplement , is the same old coon with one more stripe a little darker than the rest. —The Journal is kept busy applying the lash to the Demo crats, while its Supplement is beg ging for more Mugwump Re publicans. '‘He That Is Not For Me Is Against 110.” Republicans who are not for the regular Republican nomi nees, are working against the interest of their party. The Re publican party, its policies, measures, and what it has ac complished for our country in the last twenty*five years, are near and dear to every Republi can in Craven county. It gave freedom to a large class of our citizens; it gave them schools, and it gave them the ballot, making them the equal of every citizen. The party that gave this is dear to us. It represents onr hopes, and w r e expect to leave it as a sacred heritage to our children. What sav vou, Republicans of Craven?. Will you go against the party? Shall you assist in splitting this party asunder? Will you aid in deliv ering over the banner of this party to your enemies, that flag you have so often carried to victory! Shall the few traitors we have had in our camp be allowed to haul down that banner and deliver it over to the Democratic party? If not, then stand by your regular nom inees, and defend that grand old party against our old enemy, the Democratic party, and the Mugwump mongrel crew that are now trying to destroy it. “Choose Ye This Day Whom Ye Will Serve.” Republicans of Craven, if you still have any love and affection for the memory of the lamented martyred, Abraham Lincoln, see to it that ye serve not his enemies in their attempt to dis rupt that party for which he gave up his life. Let not your preferences for men lead >ou into your enemies’ camp; let no preteuded friend lead you to your political destruction. Serve only that party which you can trust, because you know what it has done for you. You know what the Democratic party has deprived you of, and the few crumbs that they have left ought to be dear to you. Servo only your true and tried friends, the Republican nominees. What the Republican Par ty Has Done. The story of our achievements cannot too often be told. No people can become too familiar with the great deeds of their history, for if history is philoso phy teaching by example, this world’s history furnishes no grander examples than that which the career of the Republi party has supplied since 1860. It saved all our Territories from the blight of slavery and dedi cated them to freedom. It met a gigantic rebellion and saved this great Nation. It made 4,000,000 slaves, citizens, fur nished them with schools, and gave them the ballot. It de clared the equality of the citi zen, it protected his rights, as such against invasion by his own State, or by the Nation it self. Under its policy the Na tional hoi.or and integrity were vindicated, and the National debt paid with a rapidity unex ampled in the history of the w orld. Passing through the ex tremest financial distress, it has yet been true to itself, until it has reached the solid foundation of specie resumption. It has decreas ed the public expenditures; it lias decreased the interest on the public debt; it has lifted bur dens from labor. It has kept all its promises. It has fulfilled all its engagements. It has made the name of the United States of America respected and honor ed all around the globe. More over it has made these States a Nation. It has made you aad me citizens of that Nation. It , his clothed that Nation with power to protect you and me in | the enjoyment of all the high | privileges of teat grand eitizen -1 skip. So when we consider that there is no slave throughout the boundaries of the great republic, we did it. When we remember that a great rebellion in the in ; teiest of slavery was crushed, we did it. When we remember that the National laith was safe » from dishonor, we did it. And when we remember that the ■ United States of America is not a mere league of States, but a great nationality, we did it. ; Such a history needs no aid from rhetoric, for no rhetoric, however glowing, can highteu its glories. These great achievements con i stitutc our patrimony, and how ever poor in all other respects we may be, we may well say, ‘These are our our possessions, and with them we are rich in deed.’ The demand to withdraw con [ Mence from such a party with such a long line of splendid and illustrious achievements, coming ; from a few Mugwumps forming a coalition with the party which i has sought to prevent them all, will not, we are certain, be re ceived with any more favor to •s : dav than it has been received in I v ; the past six years. Robt. Hancock, Jr. In supporting Air. Robt. Han cock, Jr., for the office of Regis ter of Deeds, we but perforin a ! duty we owe to ourselves, our party and our people. His nom ination w r as but a just recogni tion. None have proved truer to our grand old party; none have battled more ardently and zealously, and none have ren dered more faithful services for its success than Robt. Hancock, i Jr. Though a life-long Repub lican, yet he is before the peo ple of Craven county for the first time. In every campaign for the past twenty years he has labored for the success of the ; party nominees. His ability to | fill the office is unquestioned, j and we feel assured the good | and true Republicans of this county will rally to his support and elect him to the office of Register of Deeds by a majority so large that it wall crush for ever these bolters and party dis organizes who in sheep’s cloth ing have infested our party and sought its overthrow. The Journal and Argus. The Journal and the Golds : boro Argus have had quite a tilt. The Journal does not like the advice the Argus has been j giving the Democrats of Craven. jTo he consistent the Journal | ought to forbid its Democratic i and Mugwump leaders from con | suiting and following the advice ; of Col. L. W. Humphrey, one of j Goldsboro’s leading citizens, aud | Thos. B. Keough, of Greensboro. The Advocate fails to see the dif i ference in the Argus giving ad vice publicly than that of the Journals friends seeking private ly advice from both Goldsboro and Greensboro. The* Republican Legislative nominees pledge themselves to | support the following resolution adopted by the State Convention. Will the Mugwump and Dem ocratic candidates do the same ? Resolved , That the system of govern- I laent by which the affairs of the counties are now administered is utterly subver : sive of popular rights: its continuance is an attempt to engraft upon the laws and policy of tno State the Tory principle of taxation without representation; there fore. the Republicans of North Carolina pledge their candidates for the General Assembly to vote for the repeal of the County Government Act. —The Hon. I. B. Abbott has been quite sick for several days, j but we are glad to inform his many friends that he is improv ing and expects to be out again ! in a few davs. Republicans of Craven! This is the time to strike down the traitors that would deliver you over to your enemies, the Democratic Mugwumps. Once again you arc called upon to strike for freedom. Strike for the protection of your liberties: don’t be mistaken about the * true issues of this campaign. You must fulfill to the letter your duty to your God, your country, and your party. The Difference. The Journal of the 27th inst. in an article applying the lash to the Democrats of (’raven, says if they will scan the two Repub lican tickets they will fiud the 1 one headed by Stimson less ob jectionable to them than that headed by Hahn. The Repub lican party of Craven county placed only one ticket before the people. The ticket headed by , Mayer Halm are the regular Ee lican noimnees, and the party recognizes no other. The Jour nal does not attempt to show how or where the regular Re publican ticket is more objec tionable than the mongrel ticket. The citizens of Craven county know better than the l *■ Journal the gentlemen compos ing both tickets; they have been citizens of the county longer ! than the editor of the Journal , I land therefore ought to he better | judges; but as that part of his lash only applied to the backs of the Democrats, the Advocate | has nothing to do with it. Fur ther on, however, he says: “Nor will it hurt Republicans to vote the Democratic portion of the ticket any more than it did to vote for Tyre Y'ork.” Hurt Republicans to do what? To vote “the Democratic portion |of the ticket.” We desire the Republicans of Craven to make a special note of this, and would like for the Journal to explain which part of the ticket is the Democratic portion and which part is Republican; and why the Republicans of Craven count}’, having fifteen hundred majority, should elect Democrats to office. Would the Journal advise the Democratic majority in the Ist, 2d or 3d Wards to elect Repub lican Coundlmeu? Would the Journal advise the present City Council, with a Democratic ma jority, to elect a Republican Mayor? The Republicans of Cra ven county are better able to judge whether it will hurt them or not to vote for Democrats; they have nover done so, and it is the opinion of the Advocate that they are not going to do so now. The Journal says: “Nor will it hurt Republicans to vote the Democratic portion of the ticket auy more than it did to ! vote for Tyre York.” Are we jto understand that the Journal ! places the Democratic portion of j the Coalitiou ticket of Craven |on the same platform that Dr. j York ran upon? Does the Jour nal intend to inform the Repub licans of Craven that Mr. Clark land Mr. Lane stand before tlie | people of Craven endorsing aud approving the i principles and measures advocated by Dr. York? We can hardly believe this; yet, he says it will not hurt Repub licans to vote for them any more than it did to vote for York; and yet Y r ork endorsed and approved the National Republican plat form adopted at Chicago June sth, 1884, and also the Republi- I can platform adopted at Raleigh. Now if what the Journal says is true, Mr. Clark and Mr. Lane must place themselves in the | same position before the Repub licans of Craven that I)r. York ; did. Why did not the Journal give the Republicans of Craven the Journals opinion of the Dem ocrats who in 1884 voted for Tyre York? It makes a good deal of difference [with the Jour nal whose ox is gored. The Jour nal wants the turkey all the time, and is willing for the Republi cans to have only the buzzard. Congressional. Our confidence in the nomina tion of lion. L. ,1. Moore for Congress at the Kinston conven tion, August 25th 18Sfi, is in creased very decidedly by infor mation from ail parts of the District. Mr. O’Hara has been in Congress for four years. This we take it, substantially disposes of his claim to be returned, in a district with eight thousand majority, equality (4* candidates being conceded, our man can’t ho[K? to be returned more than twice. As for Mr. R. E. Young, better and more familiarly known as “Q M Young, lie expects to go in Congress not on his merit or ability, but backed up by his “wallet.” Mr. John Moon, of Halifax, is a clever man, but his labors for the party have not been such in the past as will , eutitlo him to tiie nomination ! for so high, honorable and lucra tive position as a seat in Con gress. Out canditate, Leonidas J. Moore, Esq., has never falter ed or halted in his duty to his party. He is the equal intellect ually, morally and otherwise of any candidate named, llis en | trance into the 50th Congress ot the United States would be a tit reward for many years arduous service to the Republican party. We have confidence in the fidel ity of his friends in Jones, Greene and Lenoir counties. If they do as we believe they will, then ho is our next representative in Congress from the 2nd district. , Craven Co. to be taken out of the District, j Wo aro informed that So\WAtov ! Collins mado “the ablost effort ;of his life” at Jackson conven tion, endeavoring to convince the people that it was useless to I nominate and elect Geo. H. White, Esq., to the Solicitorship, for the reason that at the next meeting of the General Assem bly, Craven Co. would be taken out of the 2nd District, and the Governor would appoint a Demo crat to prosecute in Northamp ton. This is a remarkable dis covery, and the Solicitor should be awarded a prize to stay at home for the next four years for his elfort. Sec. 23, Art. 4, ot the Constitution of N. C., reads thus: “A Solicitor shall be elected for i each Judicial District by the qualified voters thereof as is pre scribed for members of the Gen al Assembly, who shall hold office for the term of four years, and prosecute on behalf ot the State in all criminal actions in the Superior courts and advise the officers of Justice in his dis trict.” What is meant by his district? If it means any thing it means the District in which the Solictor * is elected, and there can be no change in a single District with out re-districting theentire State, which is provided for in Sec. 10, Art. 4, of our Constitution. The I State was re-districted last year | and will no doubt be changed again in 1895. But even then the change must be to the whole State, not to the Second District only. Any man who knows enough about law to call him self a lawyer ought to know better than to proclaim any such false doctrine; aud if one knows better, and does so to deceive the people that he may get into office, he is unworthy of the of fice. Let the truth be known. Support no man for office who endeavors to gain your support Iby false charges instead of his 1 own merit.
