REPUBLICAN FAKE STORY ABOUT DISFRANCHISEriENT Again Doing Service After Having Run Its Course-TheOld Scare-Crow Formerly Used to Frighten the Ne groes Now Trying to be Worked on Illiterate White lien - Chairman Simmons Denounces the Ridiculous Bugaboo. It having been called to the at tention of Chairman Simmons that some of the Republicans are sayin that if the Democrats carrv the Legislature they will disfranchise the oor and uneducated voters of the Mate, Chairman Simmons said: "I have heard the Republicans were aain circulating this threadbare "and ridiculous old story. Seem" that tliey are beaten on tin; issues "which they have raised by ne;roizmjr the Last, and by their corrupt and incom petent Covernment of the last two years, they have become desperate. 'It is just like the Republican Tarty to try to run from the issues their misdeeds have raised, and it is natural they should attempt to ilivei t attention from their rascalities by hallooing thief at honest men. But it is astonishing that even in their desperation and panic Republi can leaders should have no better sense than to suppose they can fright en the white men of North Carolina with an old bugaboo that has Ion"; since ceased to scare even the ignor ant and credulous negro. For the past twenty years or more, just before every election the Republican speakers, at their mid night m ctings, have been in the habit of telling the negroes if the Democrats came into power their right to vote would be taken awav from them. After the Democrats came into power in this State they always had some reason to give these credulous beings why the Democrats had not disfranchised them as they had before predicted. 'First they told them if the Demo crats got the State Government, they would disfranchise them. The Demo crats got the State Government and did not disfranchise them. Then they told them if the Democrats elected a President, they would dis franchise them. The Democrats elected a President and did not dis franchise them. Then they told them if the Democrats got control of Con gress, they would disfranchise them. The Domocrats got control of Con gress and did not disfranchise them. All along the honest white men of tin; State laughed at these lies, and marveled that the negro did not have sense enough tti set; that he was being duped. Finally the negro himself began to see through the trick. He had seen the Democrats in full power in the State for twenty-odd years, and had learned through experience that that party did not propose to dis franchise him, and he, too, began to lau"-h at these liars, and linallv re fused to be frightened by their rot any longer. So the old Republican scarecrow had to be pulled down and put away. Xow these same old demagogues, aided by a few pie-eating and pie hunting Populists who used to laugh at this fraud upon the negro, have again brought iit the old Republican scarecrow of disfranchisement; but, strange to sav, thev are now using it in an attempt to try ami frighten, not the ignorant negro, but the poor and uneducated white men of the State. But these wily schemers will be disappointed. They will lind that the uneducated white men of this State are not so easily fooled. They will lind that while they may not have any book learning, they have the ijiiiek intelligence; aiul hard sense of the white race, and they will find that they are not to be fooled, as the negro was so long fooled, by a bugaboo. There is not a white man in North Carolina who will be frightened by this old Republican negro bugaboo, and they will by their votes teach these fellows who are presuming upon their ignorance that their intelligence is not to be thus trilled with and insulted with impunity. They know tho Demo oral ie ParLy was the party that re moved the property and educational disqualifications to suffrage in North Carolina. They know that the Dem ocratic Party has always stood for manhood suffrage and they know the Democratic Party will never, under any circumstances under the sun, concent to the passage of any law which will take from them, however poor ami ignorant they may be, the right fo vote, or which will in anv wav diminish or lessen that great privilege. Thev know that the Demo cratic Party is composed largely of poor and uneducated men. anil that it looks to this honorable class of our citizenship for its support, and that it will in turn protect them in a their rights of citizenship, anil guard them, their wives and children in their homes, their reputation and their virtue. It must be remembered it is the Republicans who are circulating this xillv s,torv about the Demoerts. Even the Populist wing of that party . denounced the story as absurd. As j barren of truth about most things as is ! the Hand Book recently issued by Dr. i Thompson and Hal Aver, it is frank I enough to admit- that there is no . truth in the Republican clamor about the Democrat disfranchising the 1 negro, much less any white man. and that the history of the past twenty-odd years of D'emocratic rule in North Carolina proves the utter falsity and absurdity of the Republi can rant on this subject. Nor do responsible Republicans openly and publicly make this charge. As reck less as "they are. they have too much respect for the fear of decent public opinion to visit upon themselves the scorn and contempt which an open avowal of such an absurd and ridic ulous charge would invite. But OZROMIST-A., OARQIiHSTA , BCRATE3Sr 'S BLESSINGS while these Republican leaders are . . t I , i a 1 i . . . Miem nieniseives upon this subject, they send out secret circulars, and put out sneak speakers and bush whackers to try to frighten and deceive the people by clandestinely circulating this falsehood concerning the purpose of the Democratic Party "These leaders and their clacijuers know, as every intelligent man in the State knows, that the Democratic plan to protect the white men of the East from the horrible negro rule under which that, fair section of the State now suffers and languishes is to take advantage of the recent decision of the Supreme Court to the effect that one section or county may have one system of county Govern ment and another section or county may have an entirely different system of county Government, and while ac cording to the white counties the right to elect all their local officers, to restore the old Democratic system of county Government in the counties having negro majorities, thus lifting the ruthless heel of the negro from the neck of the white men who live in the negro ridden counties of the East." DESIRE OF THE HEART. (Pall Mall Gazette.) When God shall crown at last the victor's head, And lead liini home with t-ong and niinstrtelsy. How were thine utmost hopes accom plished . O, warrior that has wrought sovalianth? "No more for me the harness and the sword, I fight no more the battle of the Lord ; I ask alone My mother's lips, sweet, sweet ajjunst mine own." When (rod shall brim the vessel that was void. And in His likeness wake thee satisfied What anchorage of rapture unalloyed Wilt thou desire, O, woman, "hungry eyed? " The little babe that for one golden day Slept on my arm, and in my bossom lay, The clinging touch That was so tiny and that meant so inucii ." When God replenishes the empty heart. And with His goodness fills the longing soul. What wilt thou ask. world weary that thou ait. What wilt thou choose, who mayest at tain the whob? "At twilight Paradise, a field of rest. Green grass, green leaves, tlowers against face and breast: And in mine ear Her voice, who passed so long before me here." When you call for DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve the great pile cure, don't accept any thing else. Don't be talked into accepting a substitute, for piles, for sores, for burns. Phil 11. Thomas. THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD. His Death Removes a Good and Pure Man and a True Friend of the South. (Charlotte Observer.) Newsapper readers will not be sur prised this morning to see the an nouncement of the death of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware. The Associated Press sends out a sketch of the deceased, anil as for the rest, the history of his life is written in the hearts of the people. He came down from a long line of great men and gentlemen: no man in the country had a nobler ancestry; yet he did not need to depend upon any of his forefathers for a title of dis tinction, for none of them was nobler or worthier than he. The tribute to the Clevalier Bayard, that he was 'without fear and without reproach,1' applied in all its force to him. There have been greater men in the public service than he, but there has been none purer there has been no cleaner gentleman. Yet, speaking of greatnesss, it is comparative. As a Senator, he was, perhaps, the best informed man on the floor, and there is no record of a debate in which he did not sustain ami take care of him self. He was in the Senate in the most trying period to a man of his politics. Sectional and party feeling ran high, and he may be said to have been the leader of the half dozen men who stood up against all tho others and their policies. In the memorable senatorial term beginning with 18G9 and continuing for six years, he led the light against an overwhelming opposition, and sustained the fury of its onset. His courage never de serted him: his nerve never failed. The South was the daily object of attack, and he was its daily friend ami de fender. As the years went on, party rage subsided and his little coterie in the Senate became a company. Demo cratic ideas grew among the people, and he aspired to the presidency; but he never reached it, because there lingered the recollection that throughout the war he was the South's friend and that afterwards, whenever, on its account, the gaunt let was thrown at his feet, he promptly took it up. lie could never quite reach a presidential nomina tion, because the party felt that his pro-Southern record would ruin his candidacy in the North. Such was the man who lies dead to-day. Gradually, with the change of thought in the Democratic party, he lost cast with it. He could not, with changing conditions, alter the principles to which he had been reared and the defence of which had made his political life a history of strife and conflict. Mr. Cleveland recognized nobly his gifts and vir tues, malting him the premier of his tirst cabinet and in his second term ambassador to Great Britain. But he died a man without a party, yet if this truth embittered him he kept it to nimself: he was too great to betray it to the world. He was an exemplar for people of all ages, and " This earth that bears the dead Bears not alive so stout a gentleman." All Over the Globe Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are known. They are far more effective in arousing the liver to ac.ion than the old-fashioned cathartic pills, calomel or "blue pills." and are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. No care is required while using them. They cure billiousness, sick headache, costiveness, sour stomach, windy belch ings, "heart-burn," pain aud distress after eating, and kindred derangements. HENDERSON, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 0, 1898. I 1 Glenn's Great Speech. o THE HERCULES OF DEMOCRACY IN WILMINGTON Hon. R. B. Glenn, of Forsyth, Speaks to an Audience of 600 People in the City by the Sea An Appeal to Reason and Plea for the Redemption of the State White Supremacy the Issue A Strong and Masterly Presentation of the Political Situation in North Carolina. (Wilmington Messenger, September 27.) One of the greatest-campaign speeches ever heard in Wilmington, was made in the opera house last night by the Hon. R. B. Glenn, of Winston, who is a tower of strength on the stump throughout the State for the redemption of North Carolina from the disgraceful and dishonoring thraldom of "fusionism."1 At X o'clock 600 people had assembled at the opera house so that there was not standing room. There were some ladies in the audience. Capt. Glenn received a great ova tion when he arose to address the audience. He began to speak at 8:20 o'clock and continued till 10 o'clock, holding the great audience spell bound. He said he was trying to break the shackles from North Caro lina and was glad to be here. He was not here as a candidate for any office, but to aid in securing white supremacy for North Carolina. He was here, he declared, to appeal, not to censure; to beg, not to abuse. There are honest men in all parties, and to these he wanted to appeal. He was here to speak to those who have brains, who have hearts, who have reason, who have patriotism. There is no president to elect this year, and no governor to elect, but lie wished there was, for he declared if a governor was to be elected we'd knock Dan Russell out. (Applause.) Capt. Glenn declared that this is the most important election ever held in the State. It was for the weal or woe of the grand old com monwealth. The issue was white supremacy or black supremacy. (Ap plause.) The question to be decided now by the people was whether to vote for the most corrupt, the most dishonest rule, or to vote for the most honest rule and free the State from the vampires that are fastened upon her. The issue was white supremacy. They say we are drawing the color line. This he declared was not true, for One higher and grander had drawn the color line long before. The Almighty God Himself had drawn the color line. The speaker then went on to say how the negro himself drew the color line. We had pro vided schools for them, built asy lums for them, yet ever since the war they have repaid us by voting solidly against us, and to-day the 120,000 negro voters in the State are with our enemies. In calling atten tion to the race issue, Capt. Glenn said he had ho animosity against the negro, but it was time for the white man nosv to draw the color line. (Applause.) Shame upon the white men who dishonor themselves by making themselves the equal and in ferior of the negro by voting with him. (Applause.) He said he was not here to ask the negro to vote with us. He could do so if he liked, but he was here to ask and expect white men to vote together. (Applause.) Capt. Glenn then went into a con trast of the periods when the Repub lican, Democratic and fusion parties administered the affairs of the State. His lirst comparison was of the re construction rule of the Republican party in 18G7, 1868 and 18G9. The Confederate soldiers returned from Appomattox, having lost all -but honor. They were ragged and bare footed. Their farms were in ruins, many of their homes in ashes, their mothers, wives and daughters in rags and poverty. Who can tell the misery and anguish and sorrow of those days? They looked for pity. They asked for bread, but were given a stone. They asked for tish, but were given a serpent. Their taxes were increased to 80 cents on the flOO, and for State purposes their corrupt Republican rulers collected over $1,000,000 to be wasted. The State debt was increased from $15,-( 000,000 to $42,000,000. In 18G7 they ' collected in taxes for schools $35.- 8GG.01, in 1868, $167,568.18, and in i 1869, $203,411.01, making a total of $406,405.02. and only used $88,981.88 for schools. Bonds were fraudu lently issued for railroads, not an asylum of any kind was built, and taxes were oppressively high. There was riot and ruin everywhere. The men of the State were in despair, many were driven to insanity, many were" dragged to jail by the Kirk Holden gang, and the judiciary was exhausted, so the Supreme Court de clared. The great campaign with Vance as the leader, redeemed the State in 1870, many Republicans join ing the Democrats. When the name of Vance was called by Capt. Glenn the great throng gave tremendous applause. Capt. Glenn then contrasted the rule of the Democrats when they got control of the legislature in 1871 and the State in 1877. The taxes were decreased to 31 cents, then to 29 cents, then to 24 cents, with the average taxes for their term being only 23A cents on the $100. The State debt was decreased from $42, 000,000 to $3,615,000. The schools were built up, $174,753,20 being spent for schools the tirst year, and so on until $900,000 had been col lected and spent for common schools. In 1893, $760,923.81 were collected for schools and of this amount $650, 000 was paid by the whites. The asylums for the insane were built at Goldsboro and Morganton, and the asylum at Raleigh was rebuilt. In stitutions for the deaf, dumb and blind were built. The agricultural department was established, the agri cultural and mechanical colleges for i white and colored were established, and 2,000 miles of railroads were constructed. During all this time taxes were decreased and expenses were cut down, and there had not been a scandal to mar the glorious record. The State prospered until she was the best and proudest south of Mason and Dixon's line (applause). The writ of habeas corpus was not suspended, the judiciary had never exhausted. The humblest man had a fair hearing in all our courts. After giving the record Capt. Glenn made a poweriul appeal as to which party was entitled to the votes of the people of North Carolina. Re publican rule was a disgrace. Demo cratic rule was sunshine. He ap pealed to the men before they decided to vote to consult their mother, their wife and their God, and then on the 8th day of November they would vote the Democratic ticket. (Tremendous applause.) The "fusion" crowd for the contrast with ship of the Democrats. next came in the. steward- The Repub- lican-Populist fusionists got control of the State in 1895. That year the legislature cost $14,032.70 more than the Democrats spent the previous year. They spent $8,630 for the agriculture department against $6, 710 by the Democrats $1,920 more than the Democrats spent the pre vious year. They spent $9,644 more for the penitentiary than the Demo crats did the previous year. Under Democratic rule, when the State was turned over to the fusionists in 1896, there was a surplus in the State treasury of $139,222. In 1896-97, under fusion rule, there was a deficit of $209,019. The balance in favor of the Democrats for the three years was $386,748.26. In addition to these ligures Capt. Glenn read from the Caucasian aud 1'ruijressice Farmer to show what they denounced as a damnable legislature. They increased the taxes to 46 cents, and many of their idiotic acts were pronounced unconstitutional. He also called attention to the nameless scandal in which Hancock, Russell's president of the Atlantic and North Caroliua Railroad, was engaged, and the Dr. Kirby Smith scandal in the the penitentiary and Smith's scan dalous administration of the peniten tiary, etc. The fusion legislature passed an act providing if taxes were not paid by a certain time the tax-payer should be put in the penitentiary, and other scandalous and idiotic acts that were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The taxes were in creased from 23J cents to 46 cents, and polls to $1.29. A board of equal ization was established to over-ride the oath of the tax-payer. The fus ion legislature of 1895 would not adjourn in honor of the birthday of Washington or the immortal Lee, but adjourned in memory of Fred Doug lass, colored, who believed in the in termarriage of the races. Under Dan Russell the negro Jim Young was made inspector of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, to intrude his presence among the unfortunate white girls and boys. A law was passed that would have ruined the chance of the farmer to borrow money, had the Supreme Court not upset it. Fxtravagance was encour aged, corruption was produced, the State disgraced, aud a stride taken towards social equality. Wilming ton, New Bern and other cities were put under negro rule, and other scandals too numerous to mention were brought home to the fusionists. After making each point, Capt. Glenn made an eloquent, earnest a peal to the voters to vote the good old Democratic ticket aud overthrow the present intolerable state of af , fairs. The house fairly shook with -applause under his burning words. He said he appealed to the intelli- gence of his audience. After stating the record he asked the men if thev believed the fusionists had saved more money and honored the State inore, then "to vote for them; but if itiot, as he had proved, they owed it to themselves, their wives, mothers and the grand old State of North Carolina to vote the Democratic ticket. Capt. Glenn called attention to the state of affairs socially, which had been brought about in the State by the fusionists, and recalled the dam nable article in the negro paper, the Daily Iia-onl, insulting the white fvomen of the State. Capt. Glenn then declared that he had no animosity against the ne groes. In their place they were val uable to us. He spoke feelingly of his old black "mamma." now 92 years old, whom he aud his brother now care for. They furnish her a house, support and clothe her, and he now has fourteen of the old family slaves on his plantation. He said his father was killed at South Moun tain during the civil war; that a negro had taken care of his widowed mother and children, and that they were grateful to him. He could have no animosity towards the race, but North Carolina is a white man's State and it shall and must be ruled by white men. (Applause.) Capt. Glenn called attention to Claude Bernard's statement that if the fusionists carried the State they would incorporate the present in famous election law into the consti tution, and to Oliver H. Dockery's declaration that the Populists had aided the Republican party to once .A-TTEILSTID HER." more get eontrol of the State. He appealed to the Populists and white Republicans to help redeem the State from the disgrace into which it has been plunged. He appealed to all men on the 8th of November to assert their manhood and save the grandeur of the State. He appealed to them to vote for the honor and jeace of North Carolina. He appealed to the old men, to the young men, to wives, mothers, sisters and daughters, to use their influence for the best and truest interests of the State. What will come to pass after the 8th of November, Capt. Glenn asked impassionedlj-, if the State is again handed over to the Republican party? He closed with an eloquent, thrill ing, inspiring appeal to the white men to stand shoulder to shoulder in the light for white supremacy and the redemption of North Carolina, and called on all men to stand who would do so. The immense audience rose as one man, hearts were full, some shed tears, and it was the sight of a life time to see how brave men were moved. Numbers of Populists stood, and the enthusiasm was im mense, irresistible. In his last words Capt. Gleun re minded the men that during tho wav with Spain the cry was "Remember the Maine," and from now on it was "Remember North Carolina." Our little hoy was afflicted with rheuma tism in his knee; and at times unable to put his foot to the floor. We tried in vain, everything we could hear of that we thought would help him. We almost gave up in despair, when someone advised us to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We did so, and the first bottle gave so much relief that we got a second one, and, to our sur prise, it cured him sound and well. J. T. Kays, Pastor Christian Church, Neodeslia, Kan.

What gray-haired veteran of the great war could read the account of the burial of Winnie Davis, the greatly beloved daughter of the Con federacy, and the youngest born of the illustrious and immortal Presi dent of the Southern Confederacy, at Richmond, Va., her birthplace, with out shedding tears? Could any old and true man, loyal in every throb of his heart to the "lost cause" and to the blessed "land we love," read the touching record of the last services over the blessed, noble young woman who has gone so soon from us to her linal home, aged 34 years, and not join, in the sympathetic tears that flowed down the cheeks of the bronzed, battle-scarred and brave men who stood about the grave.vhen it was "dust to dust," and the form of the dear, true woman was put away to await the resurrection morn ing? It required some such sad, heart-moving scene like this to call forth the slumbering emotions and sense of profound fidelity of the men who wore the Gray with such splen did daring, such ideal heroism, to the forever furled flag and the great, grand cause that perished. Miss Davis was indeed a woman of un usual gifts, inheriting no little of the fine intellect of her noble father, and her life was linely unscllish and as pure as sunlight, and the stain of ancestral blood, proud, brave, heroic, raised her far above the great mass of womahood. Noble, gracious and true daughter of thine own beloved Southland, a sail farewell! Ma- thy spirit dwell with the blessed of God forever and in the presence of thy Redeemer! May it be said truly of her, and we doubt it not, what was said by a poet of another piece of noble womanhood: "She passed through glory's morning-gate, And walked in Paradise." DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve has the largest t-ale of any S.-tlve in the world. This fact and its merit lias led dishonest people to counterfeit it.

There have appeared many of these characters from time to time, all with decided individuality of meanness and degra dation. But the "meanest man" is clearly none of these. It remained for this end of the fertile nineteenth century, and in this part of the Ameri can Union, for that monster of the hu man race to appear, evil and lowland grovelling and malignant and hate Ful. The"-Meanest Man" of the South is the fellow who is more selfish than honorable: who loves loaves and fishes better than country: who would rather ride into ollice upon the crest ed wave of victory won by self-degradation than to command the respect of the best men who live about him; who regards lineage and name and kindred and the good-will of his fel low beings so little, that he seeks the company o'i the degraded and the superstitious and ignorant and un scrupulous; who thinks so little of the White race the greatest of races, the Aryan of antiquity and made more commanding and glorious in the ages by the mingled strains in the Anglo-Saxon, that he hesitates not to lose all that he may secure, a temporary gain, and descend to the grade and fellowship of the descend ants of savages something bettered perhaps by the contact with the very race he deserts. That is the "mean est man" in the nineteenth century. It really looks as if "the woods were full of "em." But whatever the number the words of Shakesjeare are forever true: j "That, sir, which serves and seeks for gain j And follows but for form, i Will pack, when it begins to rain, j And leave thee in the storm."

Taxes Were Lower and Expenses Were Less Under Democratic Con trol of the State Government Than Under the Fusion Regime a Subject Which Vitally Concerns Every Tax Payer, Rich or Poor, Regardless of Party or Personality. Wilmington Messenger. The Hfcssctiger last week had some thing to say of heavy, oppressive taxes and the needless high expendi tures in municipal, State, and Federal governments. The rigid economy and high sense of responsibilii v of the fathers prior to the war have taken wings. The public expenses are like the hotel charges. Before the great war the finest hotels in the great cities charged $2 a day. The war got the prices up and they have never come down. The charges are from $3 to perhaps $10 a day. The expenditures of Governments of all kinds have increased at as much more rapid rate than the population has increased. The war sent up the cost of Government, and for thirty odd years it has rapidly multiplied and against all reason, all justice, all necessity. While the population of our country has increased 2J times, the public expenditures of the Federal government have increased about seven times, and with a steady up ward tendency. The Republicans are mainly responsible for the rob bery and oppression of the people. It is very strange that the tax-payers give so little attention to expendi tures of otlicials and the great sums taken from them each year unneces sarily, unwisely, unjustly and even unconstitutionally. Let us come to North Carolina. The public expenses of the pen itentiary, in which so many of Russell's "savages" are entertained at the public expense, have been higher latterly, under the Russell misrule than under the Democrats. The statement is this as published in the Raleigh Xews-Obacrctr of last Saturday: UNDER DEMOCRATS. Wages and Salaries $ IS. 701. .IS Mileage and per diem 2,435.69 Total $51,140.27 UNDER FUSION. Wages and Salaries $57,619.95 Mileage and per diem .... 3.165.HO ' Total $6n,7s4.95 Difference in favor of Democrats in two items of expense $9.64 1.6S or 4S2 bales of cotton at McKiuley gold standard prices. This reveals to the public why the fellows in charge did wish to show the books ami let the tax payers and honest people know what was going on under the minions rule of rabid Russell and his gang. The expenditures in the legislat tire show how black radicalism burden ami rob the patient, oppressed toilers and tax-payers. Remember that the Populist tax-payer, or the Republican tax-payer, of what ever race or color, must bear his part of the unnecessary, raveuous increase. Here are the ligures: The following figures will show the cost between the State administra tion under Democratic rub; aud the extravagance that prevails when the Republicans are in control: COST OF LEGISLATURE. 1891 Democratic rule $63,ol8.ol 1893 Democratic rule 65,976.7s Two Dem legislatures 1896 Fusion rule is'j7 Fusion rule .$128,991.79 . . .72,226.71 . . .70,760.75 '1' wo Fusion legislatures $15:1,027.48 The two sessions of the fusion legis lature cost $1,032.70 more than the two preceding Democratic sessions. As with the penitentiary and the legislative branch of the state gov ernment so with other department-, there is needless increase of ex penditures and a consequent ad dition to the tax-payer's burdens. The more money squandered and wrested from the submissive tax paver, the less money he has for him self and family, the fewer luxuries or necessaries of life, and the less for indulgence in pleasure, holidays, jaunts, etc. COST OF STATE GOVERNMENT. 1891 Democratic rule.. $1,179,791.88 1893 Democratic rule.. . 1,319,618.10 Two years Dem rule.. ..$2,499,4 11.98 1895 Fusion rule $1,319,335.65 1897 Fusion rule 1,364,018.29 Two years Fusion rule. .$2,713,383.91 The two years of Republican rule cost the tax payers $213,938.96 more than the last two years of Demo cratic rule. Tax-payer ought to look at the-e figures for they mean much to him. In ten years, if by the curse of heaven black radicalism should reign in sin and madness and folly and abuse for ten years instead of two vears, ttian the increase at me ratio of the above two years would ag gregate $l,O0:.026.0o and this huge sum would come out of the hard earnings of the bread winners in the race for life. Ten sessions of fusion j legislatures would heep up burdens ) amounting to more than $1 10,0 0 j awve what Democratic sessions cost. Think on these things. It is not a hard question to answer which of these parties it is safer to entrust with the public affairs of North Caro lina. Can you hestitate to choose as to which has proved by actions to be safer, better, more trustworthy? Will you hesitate for a moment as be tween the White Man's party and flagtrant ruinous black radicalism?
