Horace Greeley was notoriously in
favor of civil rights, social equality
of the races and mixed schools.
The Democrats nominated him as
their candidate for President. He
never retracted a word he said on
the above subject, and tho Demo
crats voted for him almost to a man.
Mr. Sumner, a renegade Repub
lican, co-operated with the Demo
cratic party, and heartily assisted
in the effort to elect Mr. Greeley
President, and introduced the civil
rights bill, which no Republican
member from North Carolina voted
for, and which is opposed by every
prominent Republican in the State.
And yet tho Democrats charge
that the civil rights measure is a
part of the Republican platform.
Tim Leo has squandered sixty
six thousand dollars of the people's
money in six years. This is only elev
en thousand dollars per year besides
h is regular commissions. This being
the case, if he should be elected again
for the next two years his defalcation
in the same proportion will reach
the enormous sum of eighty-eight
thousand dollars. He has not a
cent's worth of property upon which
an execution can bc levied. Papers
are said to be returned and marked
no property found. Think of it,

Hon. Oliver H. Dockery is doing
valuable service in tho Third Dis
trict. On Monday, the 20th inst.,
he spoke at Magnolia to a crowd of
over four hundred persons. Such
was the desire to hear him that the
merchants closed their pkices of bus
iness and listened attentively. The
people of Duplin are tired of being
humbugged by the Ku Klux De
mocracy, and now declare they in
tend in tho future to hear both sides
and vote dispassionately.
Tho news from the Third District
is of the most cheering character.
We learn from an intelligent gen-
the rallying cry of the patriots of
the old classic county.
Hon. C. L. Cobb is making a gal
lant canvass in the First District.
In view of these undeniable facts
it is a task rather beyond the pow
ers of Maj. Yeates or any other man
to persuade the people of the First
District not to vote for him. In
the two speeches made here by Mr.
Cobb, the Democrats have, if I may
be allowed the expression, double
