Every Republican in Raleigh should attend the grand rally meet ing which will be held in the rooms of the Young Men’s Republican Club to-night at 8 o’clock. Come and bring a friend with you. CAN SAY NOTHING WORSE! The News and Observer is now jumping on the Raleigh Republicans, but it can say nothing worse of them than it has had to say of certain Raleigh Democrats—Durham Herald. The Raleigh Times wants a clean up day in Raleigh. Yes, and that is just what the tax-payers want. Go to the polls Monday and cast your ballot for the Republican nominess and get rid of the city machine. That would be the best clean-up work the voters of Raleigh ever did. TO DEMOCRATS. There are hundreds of Democrats in Raleigh who honestly desire a change in the management of city affairs. The party organization is so tyrannical and exacting that it re quires nerve to vote for any other than party nominees. We all under stand that. But, Democrats, the Good Government of your city should be above partyism. You are tax-payers. You want men in office who have in telligence to understand and energy enough to perform the duties of trusted officials. Conditions confront you. The remedy is in your votes. Go to the polls on Monday, forget your Democracy, remembering only that you are tax-payers and patriots. Vote out the incompetent and negli gent and put men in office who will obey the law, and do their part to ward seeing it executed. Democrats! Think and vote ac cording to your convictions. If in competent men are elected by the aid of your votes, another two years of bad management may have to be endured. The Board of Alderman at their meeting last night refused to accept the report of the Police Commission ers. The Commissioners had been derelict in their duty, and in their re port tried to shift the responsibility on others. Democratic dose for the voters: Seven Josephus Goo Goo Aldermen; one Police Justice who is pledged to establish the millenium here; an en dorsement of the scapegoat police commission policy; the re-election of the City Clerk who required no re ports and rendered himself liable for suspension or removal; the re-elec tion of a tax collector who served without bond. Watch them take the pill. The Democratic nominees in Ral eigh are showing a mortal terror of the people. The latest scheme is to keep their tickets from the voter un til he gets to the ballot box, then attempt to vote him straight. Why not give every voter when he comes to the polls the ticket of both par ties and let him freely make his se lection according to his judgbent? The Republican nominees are will ing. The Democratic nominees in their desperation are resorting to threats. They are telling the weak-kneed and timid that they will be prosecuted if they vote against the primary nomi nees. Of course, that is a wilful falsehood. This is a free country, and every man has a right to vote his convictions and express his free choice at the ballot box, and the Goo- Goo machine can not deprive you of that right. The city charter requires that the Police Commissioners make their re port annually. The Mayor says they have made only one report in two years, and, mind you, even that re port was not made until there was a stir up and charges had been made by other Democrats against the city administration. It is easily seen that the Police Commissioners have not performed their duty, yet one of their members is asking for a re-election. ■ Pay your poll tax before 12 o’clock tonight. Alderman Dowell had a few things to tell them last night. THE MARKET HOUSE SALE. The expression of “Negro in the wood-pile” has been a favorite with a certain class of politicians. It is a kind of warning remark to look- out—to be watchful that there is some hidden danger to be confronted. Wonder if there is not a “Negro in the wood-pile” in this Market House proposition? Our friends—“the ring- sters”—are too greedy. They want too much all at once. An Auditorium, New City Building, issue of Bonds, and we don’t know how many more “jobs” on hand, and it should be come the people of Raleigh to call a halt and vote down the proposition. It “stinks” now; how will it smell then? A PLEDGE. The editor of this paper has fre quently been asked when he was go ing to get “his’n.” Following the example of the meteoric and bril liant young knight, Mr. Pace, who won his spurs in the Good Govern ment (so-called) fight in declining the office of City Attorney before it has been offered him, the editor makes the following pledge: He will NOT accept the job of “Bible” Smith, because he couldn’t handle a broom or a wash rag to save his life. He will NOT accept the job of Jasper McRary, for the smell of de cayed fish makes him sick. (See N. & O. of to-day.) He will NOT accept the job of Chief of Police, for he is afraid he would be refnoved by the Commission for not doing the work that the City Charter provides that the Commis sioners themselves should do. In fact, he WON’T accept any job, for fear that he might be lauded and praised by the News and Observer and thus loose the confidence and es teem of the select circle he still calls his friends. . The Police Commissioners exercise power over the entire police depart ment of this city. Isn’t it very im portant that they should properly perform the duties of their office? Have they done their duty for the past two years? Be a man and vote for who you please next Monday. Demand the right to vote just as you please next Monday. After next Tuesday Honorable Josephus will have a Republican Al derman from his ward. If you want good government in Raleigh, go to the polls Monday and vote for the Republican nominees. If you want two years of Honorable Josephus’ dictation vote for the Dem ocratic nominees next Monday. Mr. Voter, when you go to the polls Monday morning be a free man; vote your convictions; don’t be intim idated by threats, or have the can didates of a party which has signally failed, rammed down your throat. If you are opposed to the $125,000 bond issue, forced On you without your opinion being asked, then vote against the sale of the Market House. TO THE CITIZENS OF THE SEC OND DIVISION OF THE FIRST WARD. Having been characterized as the “Unknown” candidate by the News and Observer, I am glad to acknowl edge the fact that I am unknown to the News and Observer, or any of its ilk. I do not wish to be known in the manner that the News and Ober- ver is known to the people at large. I am glad to be able to say that I am known to the people of my sec tion—I believe that I am favorably known—and I promise the people that after next Monday I will be known to the people of the city of Ra leigh, and particularly to those who have any schemes of graft or crookedness to offer to the Board of Aldermen, to their sorrow. JAMES J. WILSON. ..Editorial Note.—The character of Mr. Wilson is too well known to the people of his locality to be injured by any slurs of the ORGAN. He is a large tax-payer, as reference to the city books show, a business man of standing, and has the full confidence of all who know him. We fully be lieve that the News and Observer’s b. y. m. will know Mr. Wilson if they attend the meetings of the new Board.—Editor. The Police Commission has tried to shift the responsibility for their neg ligence on the shoulders of the Board of Aldermen, but the responsibility won’t shift. You can insure careful manage ment of city affairs by giving the Republicans representation on the board. The Democrats will be good if you have Republicans there to watch them. Say, was it a shrewd trick to subsi dize the News and Observer and its little “me too” sheet, The Times, when the Legislature appointed the editor of the News and Ob server (Mr. Daniels) and the princi pal owner of The Times (Mr. Drewry) on the commission to spend $125,000 taken from the tax-payers without their consent? After our newcomers, Messrs. Ay cock and Winston, have collected their bill for performing the duties of the City Attorney, which the police commission took away from him, they might be made attorneys for the $125,000 bond commission and the market house commission and get a few other pickings. NOTICE, REPUBLICANS! A ratification meeting will be held at the hall of the Young Men's Re publican Club, opposite the post- office, on Saturday night, May 1st, at 8:30 o’clock. Every member is urgently request ed to attend, and to bring along as many interested voters as he can. Do not fail to be on hand, as important facts of interest to everyone in Ra leigh are to be discussed. WILLIAM J. ANDREWS, President. CHAS. D. WILDES, Secretary. Let us have facts. (Turn on the light—not newspaper garbage.)
