Hut Jay Hawk is resolved to pnfsue- his plansjf eelihg that his old rotten party, is standing on its last legs. When it has to run after. . the Mahones, Leachs, and other fellows of the same kidney to get recruits to save - them, the cause is desperate and. the con- fession is plain. It is a party literal ly in the last L ditch and covered with the slime of corruption. It reaches out after all sort of help and is only too glad to receive the help of dis carded :and disgruntled sore-Jieads of the opnositioir "for' a -cbnsidera- Hon." Jay Hawk confesses in. his last cir cular thata the sinews of war arc mon ey and that without it' there is no ' lofting for rotten Radicalism. Hear this new specimen of a Radical saint ply his appeals to the" poor . fellows who hold office and are afraid to say that their life is their own. - Says the devoted and well steeped Hubbell :: " vve :ire on the skirmish line of. 1884, witu aonnict before us this fall Of great moment to the Republic, and you must know'tbat a repulse now Is full of danger to me next Residential campaign. :. i " Unless you think that our grand old party ought not to succeed. helD it now in it3 struggle to build up a new South, in which there shall be, as in the North, a free ballot and a" fair count, and to maintain such bold in the North as shall insure good government to the country. : - ' "it is hoped that by return mall you will semi a voluntary contribution equal to 2 per cent, of jrour annual compensation as a suhstautiiit proof of your earnest desire for the sum: s of the Republican parly this Unless we can get the money with which to debauch the ballot and bribe the voters there is no chance for us this fall, and if no chance this fall then we are beaten in 1884.' : If this calamity to us should happen then farewell, a long farewell, to grub and grab, and we Tnust gather - up our spoils and give way to the victors. This is the meaning of Jay Hawk's appeal put in plain terms." He tells the faithful that it is either tiro per cent, or decapitation. -Yon must give proof "substantial proof f of your fondness for the govern- ineRWwiirrfoughTy "forking over" nst two per cent, of every dollar yon receive from Uncle Sam. , ,.'

There are in North Carolina at least 70.000 men who have never cast a vote. Of these 50,000, we believe, are not Radicals. What , then is to hinder a Democratic victory but Democratic-apathy? There is not . an intelligent Republican -in the State who will ' not concede --readily thatL North Carolina is a Democratic State if he is a man of ordinary can dor. The only chance for the Demo cratic ; candidate tobebeaten is for the Democrats; to stay-Away-,: from the polls in sufficient . numbers7 to al- low the enemy to triumph.'. In other words, the question of victory or de feat is in the hands of the Deraocra- cy, As they shall wilVin the matter: will be the result and the Radicals .- J . .... . . . . cannot prevent it. ,' ' E very Democrat ? who refuses-? to vote is using his personal privilege and influence in behalf of the rotten Radical party. Whether he so re- J. gards it or not such is the inevitable, - legitimate deduction. , In refusing to. vote for his own party -candidates he thereby hdps the JRadicai - candi dates. This is absolutely certain. It is the imperative duty of j every Democrat to vote. Gopd citizenship requires it. His pockeUinterests de mand it. ' ' It is a very high power under our system of government to exercise the righta of an elector. The people are the masters under our system -' al though Northern authors of i a eer tain school try to deny it. The peo ple are the sovereigns. They kill and thev make alive. Every voter in that sense is a sovereign an elector If he refuse to exercise his authority' he is at fault, because the man who antagonizes him will ' exercise his au thority and so triumph at his expense You cannot, possibly discharge the functions of sovereignty by refusing to vote. You cannot meet the im-. perative obligations of citizenship by staying away from the polls; Think of it and act like one who loves his country and is true to sound and be nevolent principles.1'- ; - x With.
