Vances Greatest Service to State!
" Vance" was wonderful as a soldier,
as war governor and, -later, as repre
sentative of his people in the nation
al senate; but it was as "peace" gov
ernor, in the judgment of many, that
his efforts were of greatest service
to the generations of North I Caro
linians who were to follow ; those
who fought to save the state from
the grasping and dissolute hands of
"carpet baggers" and "scalawags."
The unprincipled element of white
natives the Northern spoilers, and a
few really respectable but misguided
white North Carolinians, supplement
ed by a great horde of ignorant
blacks, formed the Republican! party
against which the conservative Dem
ocrats of the 70's, made up of ante
bellum Whigs and Democrats,
fought to save the state from utter
social and industrial ruin. In 1870
the conservative Democrats, then in
control of. the general asembly, elect
ed Vance to the United States senate.
Because of the "political disabilities"
from which he was then suffering,
the ex-governor w'as not permitted to
take his seat. His "adversaries had
not-forgotten the part he played in
keeping the Confederate army in the
field for two years after it was sup
posed to-have been beaten; nor had
they forgiven.
In 1872 Vance was nominated by
hi3 party for governor;- However,
because of the rebuff he had received
in Washington, he decliiied to accept
and threw - his - influence to Colonel
Ashe, who was nominated. The nom
ination vas tendered to Vance again
in 1876. He again was unwilling to
accept because he was afraid his ac
ceptance could riot- strengthen his
party. Considerable pressure was
brought to bear upon him, however,
and he did accept. Then began one
of the most interesting political cam
paigns in the history; of North Caro-r
lina. . . - , . i - ' !
The Republican nominee to oppose
Vance was Thomas Settle, a judge of
the Superior court and the most able
man of his political faith at that
time. "Vance and Settle toured the
state together and engaged .in joint
debate in the more important towns.
Settle was an able and eloquent ora
tor, but was "no match for tne humor
ist, who combined wit with logic and
pleas for the use of intelligence for
the saving of his state from the rav
ages "of negro domination. The cam
paign stirred lae state as no cam
paign had ever done, and on election
day Vance was given a. majority of
more than 15,000. " i !
The battle cry of the Republican
party of that time was that the elec
tion of Democrats meant a return to
slavery for the negro, and of course
every negro vote., .n. Republican
ticket. The general assembly Chad
been' Democratic since 1870, and had
exercised a most kindly attitude to
ward the misguided ex-slaves. Un
der Vance this kindness was con
tinued, and in appreciation of the
governor many negro, military com
panies called themselves the - Vance
guards, and some negroes became
Democrats. ;
In his inaugural "speech in 1877
and his messages to the assembly",
Governor Vance outlined a policy to
ward education, charitable and other
public institutions that laid the foun
dations for the wonderful growth un
til the blight of fusionism descended
Upon the state to again retard its re
covery from reconstruction outrages.
His policies were for uplift and were
carried out under his eadership.arid
followed by his able successor, Ja
vis. '
Returning to the leadership of his
people. at a time when strong and
intelligent leadership was demanded,
Vance led to victory, . and vic
tory; at that time ""had a more
far-reaching effect "than' .perhaps
even he realized. ,It; was 'fa pe
riod in the state's history when its
fate hung in the balance. A return
to Republican rule meant giving to 1
the, user of the negro a free hand. !
with all its grim possibilties of cor-
rupted society, ruined industry and ;
prostituted state wealth. A lesser j
mind-than Vance's could not "have !
won against the formidable if cor-1
rupt, fojFce ,that - thea formed -the
Kepu bncan party. By- " winning,
Vance deferred defeat "until the,state
was' strong enough to live ; through
anomer.Kepubncan plight.'

- they do not wish to make Russia

they do not seem . to .realize that
there'is any world outside of Russia ;
thatis why they fight. so badly -on an

once let the enemy set foot oh Rus

savage beasts, as they did in 1 8 1 2, in

woods and plains and holy cities are

is why they fight so well on defense.
