North Carolina Newspapers

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1887 It. A. LONDON, Editor. J r is the duU as well as the right j i in uiv uuij r- df.belW.oeosotl.e umdecin Of imbiic officer, and the political riewspapers may be justified in criti- c'iziitg 'within the bounds of pru- dnce and'' common sense, however,) the acts and declarations of their party's cominitteaH arid conventions. Hut those cruicisuis should be based Upon facts! Therefore the Wilmington Star, in its fit quent and continuous criticisms miltte's meeting, did so at oimuter upon iho deuiocratic State commit- able peisonal expense merely to pro ttr, should in all fairness base its uiolct the party's good, and are con criticisms upon facts. A man should j sidered in iheir respective coin muni Bo admired for having the "courage ties as -;ood citizens and thus Demo df his eonvictions out hat good ean j ckats. And because they presume be accomplished to r political party j to express au opinion, which has so a newspaper continually combat j often been expressed by ihe dmo tui the declarations of its platforms'? ciatic State conventions, and demo 8)id by harshly criticizing the party's ; crat ic candidates, canvassers and lvaders for attempting to carry out j Congressmen, tho Star sees nt to those dedal ations t wage a most unfair and unjust wai Democratic conventions in this j upon them. And this, because the SI ate, oiie after another, have publicly j opinion of all the above named does and solemnly- declared, by unanimous . votes',-that the party ih North Caio- liua favored and demanded the total repeal of the odious internal revenue laws. Democratic candidates and canvassei s,all over the Stat .year after veaf, hae eamestly aud eltupjenlly demanded their repeal. At nearly everv sesfeiou of our Legislature, the deuejmtic. membeis have atloptttl j resolutions demanding their repeal, j Every deiuociatic Congressman from this Siate since lleconstruction ha j faioied and urged their lepeao And yet the Wilmingtou Star continually criticizes and berates the State deui j dcratic executive committee for pie I B'uuiiug(?) icceutly an expression oi j the same opinion, as has been repeat- edly, year after year, expressed by dur convention pialfoims, and by our democratic candidates, canvass ers, Legislators and Congressmen! Now, without questioning the Star's right or taste in doing this, we desire to correct some of its publish ed statements about the committee's irileged wrongful act. lu doing this we stiall not attempt to enter into an argument upon the propriety or pol icy of repealing the iuteinal revenue !kvkK, -nor attempt to correct the mis tidies made m so many or tue Dtar s j recent editorials on that subject. We i will merely correct the erroneous Ktatements contained in its last edi toiial (in Sunday's istsue) that has lieen lead by us at this . writing : or rather, they are not positive state ments, but what is worse, are unjust insinuations and innuendoes. For instance the Siar there asks this, questiou, "If a State Committee of i ten can order or formulate one party J ihe .President in his admirably writ piincip'.e, can it not formulate aud t ten proclatnai ion said, "On that day o der two principles?" and then most let all work and employment be hus lagely says that "the acceptance of j pended : and let our people assemble the theory that it is in the power of the State Committee of teu or twelve ?nen to lav down a nlatform for some 150,000 or more voters is j to stifle the voice of the sovereign j people and to set up an oligarchy", j this? Hardh one in every hundred "With all due respect to the Star we j Plenty of them will suspend ail work denounce this insinuation against the j and employment (and glad of the State committee as unkind, uncalled chance to do so) but not many will for, unjust and untrue; J"a6sembie in their accustomed places What are the facts ? In the first of worship". Indeed hardly one place, the "State Committee" is not tcntu of the churches will be opened, Composed of "ten or twelve" men : j ttt a8t in this State. Isnt this but is composed of fifty-two men i rather a stiange state of affaii 8 among consisting of sixteen men (appointed I a Christian people ? fiom no particular portion of thej t Slate and who constitute the central Committee) and four men from every One of the nine Congressional Dis tricts. We are surprised at the Stai's mistake, lor our State Com-jrritteo-ha been thus constituted ever Since 1872! A meeting of this com inittee was held at llaleigh, on Wednesday of Fair-week, after a t printed novice sent to eveiy member by the Secretary, a quorum being present indeed the meeting was un usually well attended, as many mem-1 State Missions leported that eighly bers took advantage of the very low j two Missionaries had been employed railroad rates offered to visitors tojin this State during the past year, the Stale fair. Why the Star should j and that thesum of 1U,000 had been hjive so persistently attempted to j paid them. From this we should belittle the number of the Commit-1 say that this denomination of Chris tfc, we do not propose to inquire. ! tians may truly be called the 4tMis ut, in the second place, we will j sionaiy" Baptists. The convention Merely state what the Committee j next year will be held at Greensboro, fhen did.

Jhe reading of the above resolu- t ion clearly proves that im commit- tee merely exp.esbed its oi'isiox-upou the (juteiion of icpealing the revenue Ihw, and also only kequted our ! members of Congios.3 to continue to , Uhl) their influence in ihat behaif. The members, who attended t he com- i not happen to concur with the btars opinion. Really, Mr. Star, you ought to be. ashamed of yourself! Thk cost of ele tious in the city of I New Yojk is enormous, indeed almost bevond belief. It is said that . ftMtenses of the lae election , ity amount d to one million dollars! I Kverj candiJate is assosseel a certain 8u, tuo executive committee of parly to pay these expenses, and lue uimM4U80 sums thus assessed aud paid are iuciedible.
