Mr. Doolittle, and a few other gen
tlemen, of the late "Liberal Repub
lican party" at the North, have
been induced to declare that "the
Reconstruction laws shall be re
viewed, and the privileges of negro
suffrage modified, restricted, and, if
necessary, taken away altogether."
It was in the hope of making this
sentiment universal at the North
that people at the South have pro
claimed they were "hopelessly nd
ruinously under negro rule" that
the mis-management' and extraya
grance of their, State governments
was due to this fatal negro rule
and the. last card of hope they had to
play was the late "Jacko Clubs"
Horace Greeley which they have
played so disastrously to them
selves, but so fortunately for the
country.

Henderson of Lexington, Hon. J.
W. Holden and T. M. Argo of
Raleigh, Albert H. Do well, Jr., of
Asheville, W. S. Pearson of Burke,
and many other distinguished Re
publicans were in attendance.
A very disgraceful occurence was
witnessed at the meeting, caused by
the Ku Klux Democracy. Hon. J.
W. Holden was the first speaker,
but his voice was hardly audible
owing to the hisses, shouting, hoot
ing and braying of a few animals
calling themselves Greeley Demo
crats. A large number of the so
called respectable Democratic citi
zens of Salisbury attended the meet
ing with the avowed Dumose of in
sulting the speakers, and to break
it up or produce a riot if nothing
else. Mr. iolaen was so grossly
insulted and so frequently inter
rupted by their shouts, hoots and
hisses that he was compelled to
defer his speech.
Messrs. Argo and Pearson follow
ed but met with no better treat
ment. The noise and confusion that
ensued was sufficient to alarm some
of the more respectable citizens of
Salisbury, whereupon Dr. Kean
took the stand and rebuked the De
mocracy in a most skathing manner.
The Dr. is a strong Democrat, and
demeaned himself as a christian
gentleman on this occasion. The
Democracy took his advice for a
few moments, and Mr. Pearson con
cluded his speech, whereupon Col.
W. F.Henderson was called to the
stand. He was greeted with groans,
hisses and curses from the Ku Klux
side of the meeting. Amid the
direct confusion some of the Ku
Klux present shouted "take him
down" "take him down," where-

THE BEST PHASE OF THE GERRYMAN
DER. Taking the arrangement of Senatorial
Districts by the last Legislature, alto
gether, by our standing table, we put
it in the very best light for the "Demo
crats," it is susceptible of being made:
The population of the State by the
Census reports under which the Sena
torial Districts were arranged, is 1,071,
461 souls. The population divided
among fifty Senators would give an
average population to each Senator of
21,429.
But to the thirty-two Conserva
tive Senatorial Districts the Leg
islature allotted an average of 20,899
Short to each Democratic Senator 530
Now, to each Republican Senato
rial District this same Legisla-
ture allotted a population of 22,371
Proper average, 21,429
An excess over proper average, a
population to each Republican
Senator, of 942
Taking the average population al
lotted to Republican Senatorial
Districts 22,371
and abstracting therefrom the av
erage populations in the Con
servative Districts, 20,899
we have each Republican Sena
tor representing a population of 1,472
more than the Legislature has
permitted its Conservative Sen
ators to represent.
This we say is the very 'best Iisht the
matter can be placed in. It is the best
phase of the gerrymander. We ask the
public to examine into it closelv and
prepare their minds for the exhibition
of infamous gerrymandering we shall
proceed to give them from time to tirrm.
