The attempt made by the Democratic mob
to break up the Republican meeting at Dur
ham last Saturday night when Lol. Dockery
spoke, is justly condemned by the Durham
Recorder and Tobacco JtLAST, uvernsuoro
North State.
Who said there was any attempt
to break up the meeting? Who said
there was any mob? You are rather
wild and at the same time a little
unkind. As The Plant stated in
its account ot tne matter, a lew
thoughtless boys, who were simply
indulging in a little rough play, cre
ated all the disturbance that occur
red, and a Democrat followed, and,
accompanied by other Democrats,
after the speaking, invited Dockery,
Pritchard iind Nichols to Vaughan's
soda fountain and treated them to
cooling drinks. Yet your highness
pretends to think an attempt by a. mob
was made to keep the candidates
from speaking. Get a cool , drink
yourself. We wonder the disturb
ance wasn't greater than it was, for
no set of men have the right 'to get a
crowd of folks out in the street and
make them stand up two or three
hours and listen to such fearfully
dull and thin speeches as Dockery,
Pritchard and Nichols made. The
