SALUTATORY. '
In presenting this little sheet to
our people, it is hoped they willnp
preciste it ns an honest effort on
our part to promote the moral, in
tellectual and material standing of
our people. We are aware of the
difficulties and responsibilities at
tending the publication of a news
paper ; but seeing the great need of
an organ in this section to defend
the principles of the Republican
party; the need of an exponent of
the rights of the colored people, we
have undertaken the task and shall
depend upon the wisdom and kind
ness of our friends to encourage and
support us.
We intend to make the Missu
ola a permanent institution and an
organ worthy of its name. It is in
tended to fill a vacancy of long
standing and one sorely felt. We
shall make it our business to get
news, and shall furnish our readers
with all interesting news possible.
While we shall not be sparing in
bur dealings with wrong-doers, nor
slow in recognising merit wherever
found, we shall devote special inter
est to the defense of the colored
people and the Republican party.
The Missuoib will be furnished
its readers promptly on the day of
publication, and will always pride
itself in doing all in its power to ad
vance the educational and moral
etanding of our people in the Caro
lines. W. C. Smith,
Publisher.
The TMut
The Republican Convention hav
ing met and endorsed the ticket put
forward by the anti-prohibition con
vention which met one week pre
vious, it is the duty of all good and
loyal Republicans to lay aside what
ever of personal feelings they may
have bad, and accept this ticket in
good faith.
Individually, we wore opposed to
coalition, as we believed the party
strong enough to win without a for
mal union with any other party;
but aa the party Isadora have
thought beet to accept the work of
the other convention, we acquiesce;
Uone shall excel us in obeying the
party leaders whenever we think
them right.
The Convention of Republicans
which met in Raleigh on Wednes
day last was one of the moat intelli
gent bodice Os P -pulM .-sun that
ha* met in this State before.
Aueag the colored men present
were Harris, Green, O’Hara, Wan
tom, the Learyt, and White. It
was a harmonious body, and though
Mott, Cooper and Moore were there
arrayed against Keogh, Jenkins and
Ball, we are informed there was bat
little clashing of anna, which is a
fltir indication that everythiag is to
work smoothly. Dockery is the
choice of aH the Republicans in the
State for Congressman at large.
Then go to work, hoys, and don’t
stop till the Inst vote is counted.
Now for a Congressional ticket for
this District We Dr.
Venacat
Much is being said of Congress
man Mackey’s colored wife. They
■ay she is a pretty brunette. They
live in tha most aristocratic part es
Washington (Sty.
I The Raleigh Times is the official
organ of the Republican Jihrty in
the State.
The Republicans carried the elec
tion in Oregon last week, and will,
elect a Republican to succeed Gro*
ver in the United States Senate.
The Liberal or anti-prohibition
party met in Raleigh on the 7th
and nominated the following ticket
to be voted for in November:
Congressman at Large, O. H. Dock
ery; Supreme Court Judge, G. N.
Polk; Associate Justices: C.C. Pool,
J. A. Moore, P. H. Darby, W. A.
Guthrie, L. H. Churchill.
This ticket was endorsed by the
Republican Convention which met
on the 14th in the same city.
The colored newspaper men of
the country meet in Washington
City on the 27th inst. They will
have a grand time. Cromwell, of
the Advocate, will have everything
necessary to make them happy.
Come farther South, next time,
boys, not for our benefit, but so you
may all see our great country.
There was a little unpleasantness
in the court-room at Salisbury last
week. Two pugilistic lawyers not
being satisfied with hot words, re
sorted to their muscles. The kind
hearted presiding Judge, allowed
them to go free. It looks to us like
going to the extreme with leniency,
but he knows best.
Whe They Are.
