The Law of 1889 a Fair Ouc Auil The RetclHtrar Hais No llxtra ordluarv I'owers-The Attack ou Ttae Huprciue Court Founded In Mlttrepreaentatlou libiTuK Tun Citizen: In tit's l.mil ul lilicrty regulated by law" it is the right of every man to make kinwii to the people his desire and intetiti m to be a candidate for Congress, or nuv other ollicc. In what form and laiiKU.-ijc this desire and intention shall be nwiiik'-Uil must he larelr a mutter of taUv, l.nt it may be (aid, to the honor of the State, that in the past very few, if iniv, ul her aspiring politicians have issuul to the public manifestos containing ciiiniiial libels upon the Supreme court in order to intrjducc themselves to the voters ol tile country. 1-or some weeks past it liasUcn known to many that Mr. Kichmoud IVarsou ol this county, who has been tjuitc n long while out of politic) anil fully as long out of the public mind, had contracted what may be, not inaptly, described as an ardent eagerness to go to Congress front the Ninth Congressional district. He lias evidently been making diligent preparation to announce his candidacy but having 110 political principles of his own, he seems to have been at a great loss to know how to begin. Hut true to his intense and ridiculous per sonal vanity he has begun, as he might have been expected to begin, by a reference to a great thing lie did "just five years ago." This great thing was that he "wrote a letter to Tub Asiik vu.i.ii CmEN condemning the Election l-aw" of law.i as follows: "It the Election Law puts a pre mium on fraud, and vests arbitrary and dangerous powers iu the registrars, and invites Federal iuteilcrence." There was tint then 1 "just live years ago" I and there is nut now one wonl ol truth in this denunciation of the Elec tion Law of lss'.i, but it c intains a gross libel upon the (tcncral Assembly which passed il. It will hardlv escape attention that Mr. I'carson, in his letter to the Kepublican orcan, the Ncgister, rclers, with respect to wlu't was ipiitc universally known as the "Inlamotis I'oree Dill," which the "Tom Kced" Con gress and the Harrison administration used their utmost efforts to force and fasten upon the country. It is cnlirtly fair to infer from the general tenor ol Mr, Pearson's letter that, if elected to Congress, he will resurrect this "Force Hill" and do what he can to have it passed into a law to take the place ol the Flection Law ol 188'.), The specta cle 01 Having our polling places sur rounded bv armed men and our people intimidated and driven from the polls wouiu cause mm no sliainc, no rcurct but rather pleasure and deliuht. Mr. Pearson's grief over the repeal ol the Federal election laws is touching iu the extreme. He exclaims, in (he very stress ef his unguish, that "a Demo cratic Congress has tried and succeeded iu passing the Tucker bill, which sweeps from the Federal statutes every vestige of law which makes bribery in elections a crime or which imposes penalties upon b aud and con tuition at the polls." Now the U.-i.OUO of disfranchised voieis of the Uth Concessional district will wonder how it is that tins gentleman can make himscll miserable and forlorn over a matter ol this kind, when they consider that he belongs to that class ol politicians who think it the very highest order of political ingenuity and smart uess to "crawl through slime auil tilth" to attain political aims and ends. If any one will take the pains to pro cure a copy of a political circular issued by Dr. . S. T. Itaird a few years ago, he will I111U 111 it Mr. Pearson s estimate ol what the modern politician is and ought to do to succeed, nnd he will liud that according to his estimate "bribery 111 elections" and "fraud and corruption it the polls"nre worthy to beclt'sscil with the desirable thin.'S ol political life. Who can recall the last political caninaivii in which Mr. Pearson participated in this county, and doubt his perlcct loyally to the doctrines that he preached to Dr. Hand.' Hut let us look at another ntculiaiitv ol Mr. Pearson us a politician: It is said that he voted the Democratic ticket at the last election. It is well known that he was not then a Democrat any more than lie is now. lie is a man ol in telligence He read and understood the Democratic platlorm, lie knew the Democratic party was pledircd to the repeal of the Federal election laws, and that the Kepublican party was pledged to prevent their rcieal and to extend them even to the enacting into law the "Infamous Force Hill." lie is known to be 111 favor of the McKinlcv tarill. and against Irec coinage ol silver and the re peal ol the 10 percent, lax 011 Slate hanks. Indeed, there is nothing Demo cratic that he lias ever been, or is now iu lavor ol. What then made him vole lor Cleveland ? I have heard it said that lie did it he-cause he expected Cleveland would be elected and would appoint renrson s oroiucr-iu-iaw minister or ambassador to sonic foreign court, and that lie I Pearson 1 would get to be score tnry ol legation, or words to that effect. II he voted the Democratic ticket upon these grounds his vote would le in line with his well known political princi ples (?) nnd he is perhaps excusable. What n pity Mr. Cleveland did not think to appoint him minister to the Fijce Islands or ambassador to the kingdom ol l.oucngtila 111 Alnca: Hut to return to the election laws of I HSU and Mr. Pearson's attack upon the honor nnu: integrity ol the Supreme court, lie savs that since the date of his live year's letter the "Supreme court have construed the new election law and their decision in the case of Harris vs. Scarborough . . . gives the regis trnrs powers much more arbitrary and dungerous and horrible thin 1 had sup posed that law would warrant. Why should a sensible man write such "dan gerous and horrible" stuff as this? Mr. Pearson knows just ns well as anybody that tlit decision of the Supreme court Hives the registrars no power whatever. 1'he question before the Supreme court in the case cited was as to the validity ol the act of ISStl, mid the court tiiinni motisly held the law constitutional nnd valid. Again, Mr. Pearson says: "1 wish to mnkc some comments on that decision in language at rcstcclfiil as the case will IH-rmit." This gentleman ii trending on Continued on scaim! pngc.) SENATOR RANSOM JUMPED HOW BI.HMONH VUI.I .M l.l-:K i-:u AN OPINION A Noteworthy Contribution 10 (lie Vauce tslfiiiuoiia Controversy by Hon If. A. iuditei-A Hci-I CrucklnK Time. , This morning TiikCitikn visited lion. II. A. (jutlgcr, who is convalescing alter a serious illness of several months' dura tiun, aud found him able to sit up and walk about his room, although he is si ill quite weak from hi long sickness. Among other things talked about in the conversation was the Vance Simmons matter. Mr. Gudgcr said that all papers were kept Iroiu him during his illness audit was not until Tuesday ol this week that be read some of the articles bearing ou the subject. "What about the letter ol Mr. Sim nions?" Mr. Gudgcr was asked. "1 know nothing about it except as 1 have becu advised by friends iu whom I have confidence," Mr. Gudgcr replied. "At a gathering of prominent publi. Fastem men at Morchcad City a few days alter Mr. lilias' appointment as Collector and Mr. Simmons' return from Washington, Mr. Simmons stated, in answer to a ipiestion by Mr. Harry Skinner ol Greenville, X, C', that he went to Washington to see the President about western appointments and made the first suggestion to the President that he should appoint Mr. Glenn as dis trict at torney and Mr. I-lias ns Collec tor, and that the appointment of Mr. lilias would give satisfaction to the Western people. Mr. Simmons said the President was struck with the suggestion and alter discussion between the two concluded that that would be the best course lor Inn to take. Mr. Simmons then went to Sen ator Kansom's hotel and detailed what had occurred at the White House, and Senator Ransom jumped up, cracked his heels together and, patting him on the shoulder, told Simmons that that was the best (lav's work lie bad ever done. "Mr. Skinner told me that Mr. csse Granger of kinston and others were present and heard this statement by Mr. Simmons. I believe Mr. Skinner's story to be true, not only because he is an hon orable man but from the further fact that I have since seen Mr, Simmons on the train aud ntc breaklast with him at the Varboro house in Raleigh and lie made no explanation to me." "Mr. Gudgcr, lias Senator Hansom any objections to vou ?" was asked. "1 have." Mr. Gudgcr replied, "sup ported the Senator on every oc asion and he has frequently expressed great confidence in uic and recognized my ser vices to the Democratic parly, and has made me believe, not only in personal conversation, bill in statements made to Capt. M. Ii. Carter, who went to Wash ington in my interest, that he had no objection to ine personally and that he regarded ine a fit man for the place. It is true that Senator Ransom expressed to ine that he believed that I was a bet ter friend to Governor jarvis than I was to himself."
