He said that the 'poor" Republican party certain ' is in a bad row in North Caro- ina. President Taft searched he State over for a judge and found him in the Democratic party poor party, it is cer tainly in hard lines. It looks like the Republicans, during their ad ministration, ought to have been able to manage the State prison, but they ran it in the hole; and '-aat year, under Democratic management, the institution :leared $100,000. But the Gover nor said that he wanted to be fair to the Republicans and that ne would have to give them credit for playing a conspicuous part in rolling up this SiOO.000 for the State, because they furnished line-tenths of the labor.
