MR. ClLUWF.LL'S ATTACK.
Mr. Caldwell chose to attack The
Standard quite vigorously Thurs
day. I; Vfs the first time we ever
knew a candidate to drag the name
.of his wife into a political discussion
as if to provoke, if poisible, at least
a slurring innuendo as he cast at
Rev. Page's name. If this wa3 his
object.it shall fail. We have not
the honor of a personal acquaintance
with Mr?. Caldwell, hut she i3 a
lady, and that is all that is required
to command the profound reepsctof
Tns "Standard. We are publish"
ing a newspspsr that is conscien
'tiously Democratic. xIn conducting
this paper we have neither swerved
to the tight nor left in treating po
litical issues because some dear
friend might like to see more com
plimentary things said of a candi
date. If the paper went to "but one
family we would write with that in
view.
The thrust cf Mr. Caldwell that it
was the purpose of The Jcandabd
to wound the feelings of Mrs. Cald
w -II i? as purely unfounded as the
unfairce?s with which he is treating
mbat -a political issues-
1
Mr. Caldwell is a subscriber to
- -
Tiie Standard and of course the
papr 13 ent to his home.
If we had not been there to call
him down he would haye left per
sons in that audience to believe
that we said or quoted uncomplN
mentary things of him and pur
pesely sect the papsr to Mrs. Cald-
Ic ia
1 foreign to our ideas of a gentleman.
We hope w hH alw8 be able to
ran a ueappr ou & b'n plane.
If Mr. Caldwell thought so meanly
of ua be would moat ndkuiaily a a
gntieman himself hav- ee Ua ih
biiland have forbidden Tbe S-ands .
ard to tnttr hU homet and 1-f t tne
matter cut of a puu.ic eperch.
We try to bi fair ad inoffensive
with e.ierytoJy whilt "e try to curb
error ai.d wrong. If we took pat
tern from inoat of the opposition i
-
papsra tbit come to ua in exchange,
there might be good room for Mr.
Caldwell 'O settle the bill and step
the pper. Nay, more, Mr. Cald
well has himaeif, while not specially
abusive ( e honor him for n)
made vtr? free nee of the charge of
Democratic hypoencj and insin-
ceritv. We ar- now calloua to the I
ugly ilmga at ttw body of which we
form an hunibio part. He claimed
to be much hurt at our impugning
his sincerity, and in almost the
next breath be stepped over and
handed us the longslooked-for re
port and charged ua with taking
more interest in the penitentiary
affairs than' in 'spiritual salvation,
ihere is nothing esp cially offensive
in this to U5j we consider the source.
If we were hypocritical in our.po
lineal relations we could h&rdiy be
otherwise in rur church relations.
It doe3 ua no harm, b it shows that
Mr. Caldwell is less courteous to us
tnan he wishes us to be to him.
WHY LONGER DOUBT?
The Clerk of tne Superior Court of
Cruven Tellw or tlie Situation of Al
fnirs In That Couuty.
Rutherford Vindicator.
yi,r. L E Green, near E lenboro,
wanted to know the truth about
negro rule in Craven county, and
wrote to the clerk of the Superior
Court for the fact9 in the matter.
Below we give the answer of the
clerk to his letter of inquiry, and if
I you are an honest juryman you will
decide the c?se for youroelf and act
accordingly. If you are not an hon
est juror you will still repeat tho
slang of the corrupt or ignorant pie
hunter and call it "Dsmocratic
lies:"
Superior Court, Craven County,
NDrth Carolina.
V M Watson, Cicrk.
Newbern, N. C, Sept. 2S, 9S
L E Green, Ellenboro, N. C :
My Dear Sir: Yours to hand,
and I will endeavor to give you the
facts.
In Craven county there are 27 ne
gro magistrates, 12 or 15 negro
school committeemen. The regis
ter of deeds and his deputy are ne
groes. All the sheriff's deputies are
negroes. The court crier is a negro. 1
The township constable is a negro.
One of the county commissioners is
a negro. The town has three negro
councilmen, and five policemen
and the, city attorney is a negro.
White men and white women are
arrested by negro sheriffs or consta
bles, tried before negro magistrates
and committed to the custody of a
negro jailer.
The nominees for county offices
are as follows: ..
House of RepresentativesNegro.
Register of Deeds Negro.
Cc Treasurer Negro.
County Commissioner Negro.
Constable Negro.
The candidates for clerk and sher
iff, who are the only whites, were
made to promise that they would
have none but negroes as their dep
uties. Could any white people be
in a worse condition than we are ?
We appeal to the Anglo-Saxon
race of North Carolina, with what-
! well to wound ber fr-elings.
ever political party they may nave
been voting, to rescue us from this
terrible condition. You have no
idea of the complete reign of terror
that exists in the eastern counties
The papers have not told naif. I
forgot to etate that the tax-listers
in some of the townships are ue-
eroee.
Very respectfully. ,
W. M. Watson,
Clerk of Superior Court.

A press dispatch says Gen. Miles
extended his hand to Gen. Shafter
at the peace jubilee Wednesday at
Chicago, and the latter ignored
him. It s a pity our splendid vic
tory could not be won without so
much internal ill-will and spiteful
ness. Blessings ever wait on virtuous
deeds, and though a late, a sure re
ward succeeds. Congreve.
