Republicans or New Hanover Co ;
You have no-doubt read an advertisement
stating my intention to run independent for
a seat in the. lower house ;. of the General
Assembly. I deem it just and "eminently
proper that I should communicate to you
in a plain straightforward manner the
means that prompt me to this course. . Last
August 1 was elected to , a 8eat in the As
sembly by the kind suffrage of friends who
bad confidence enough m my lhtegnty.
honesty and capability, to assist in lifting
me to so honorable a position. I have en
deavored to so conduct myself officially, as
well as otherwise as to merit the trust im
posed in me. ; When 1 returned from Ral
eigh, I . was requested tcklecome a, xahdifr
date for re-nomination. I did so; and as
sisted somewhat : ip. the primary campaign,
in the calling of .the late County Conven-
tin. When 1 1 gazed in upon that Conven
tion I thought to myself that I might as
well tear up my tickets and refuse to allow
my name to be presented. Why ? Because
there was a. majority of that Convention
the very identical men the same old bolt
ing clique, j whom I defeated last summer.
N I have no money save a few dollars I have
saved; but fellow-citizens, I am willing to
spend ' the last dollar to maintain what I
belivc to be right.
There was another mode adopted to beat
me, ana that was this : Mr. John jp. amp
sons's friends saw that he stood a pojor show,
so theyv consulted Major Schenck's friends,
from the - northern portion ; of the county,
and , agreed that if Messrs. Boston, Bel 1,
Devane and- Martin would support him
(Sampson), ho (Sampson) would cast his
informal and formal vote tor Major Schenck.
I dare he or his friends to. deny this fact;
men i ymi prove it vj aiuuavis. - x uey naa
some doubt then as to his (Sampson) going
through, so j tbey felt Mabsons strength,
and got a motion made to vote for three on
one ticKet; ana on maDson s ticKet they
placed his (Sampson's) name and be went
through by the effort of his master's influ
ence with the office-holders, the Schenck
promise, which he did hot fulfil, and the
deception on the Mabson ticket -
I am a direct candidate for a scat in
the Legislature, and propose to oppose the
name of Jno. P. Sampson to the bitter end,
for other reasons than the above which are
as follows: , f i y i
1 1st. I do not believe any man has a right
to run for the Legislature unless he is a le
gal voter see Constitution on this ques-
lion, arc ii sec. xo. ; t
2d.. He came to North Carolina in 1867,
and when astced to assist in leading us
through the darkness and trials -of those
times, said that he had no time to bother
with "ignorant niggers." And I claim that
if we were too ignorant then to be bothered
with; that we are too intelligent now to vote
for Mr. J. P. Sampson Ik
,j3d. Mr. Sampson gets six .hundred dol
lars a year from the city government and
sixteen hundred from the general govern
ment, as he has stated to me, and I would
ask the question, what has he done for us
that he should haire so much honor "in
one day I" He desires to make a family
affair of this. I He must; go to the -Legislature
and leave a little buddy to take in the
twenty-two hundred dollars a year 1 The
Constitution ot our State, which we adopted
while Mr Sampson was In Ohio, living in
ease and luxury, says no family is entitled
to special honor or privileges only on the
ground of merit ,---, t ;';k , '. -

The Wilmington, Charlotte, and Ruther
ford railroad is "supposed'Cto be under Re
publican rule, and I agree witfi your Lum
berton correspondent, as to how many Re
publicans are in the employment. -r
The Democratic papers of this city and
elsewhere have raised ai jiue and cryand
also threatened to withdraw their patron
age from the road should any of the pres
ent employees be removed upon a political
issue. We will now see the- difference be
tween "twedledum andwedledec." Have
not mechanics! and good mechanics, been
discharged from the, . employment ot the
Wilmington and' Weldori, also the Wilming
ton and Manchester railroad companies only
because they were Republicans? I will an
swer; in the affirmative, and say there has
been, three from the former and two from
the latter, and toen who have been' connect
ed .with the abdve companies for . many
years. . What is sauce fori the goose is sauce
for the v gander, is an; bid adage, but our
democratic friends do not seem to realize the
situation, or applying the old adage, but
are making rapid strides in this progressive
age, , , not to place i Republicans in power,
but to "feast upon; the, loaves and fishes at
the expense of Republicans, after villifying
and denouncing them,' and putting every
obstruction in their roHd to office.'
'AgairiIgrce.witir'jourliumbcrton 'cor-
respondenf, as to the officers of the Eastern
division of the Wilmington, Charlotte and
Rutherford railroad denvinsr emnlovment
to Republicans,' end will! waer a new hat
that it a Republican responded to the ad
vertisement that appears in one of our daily
papers for a workman he would be denied
the place. . ! : . -
It is poor encotiragement for - a man to
join the Republican ranks under such cir-
lmstances, and knowing he has to be per
secuted and proscribed morally, religiously
and socially, also have the friend of his
youth, and schobl-)oy days to snub and pass
him by with a scornf uMook and to receive
the cold shoulder upon every hand. -
There is a remedy for the most of evi'e,
and I can see it ini this case, it lies in the
power of the President of the 'Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford railroad to cor-
rect this evil, and should he fail, it then be
comes Gov. Holdeif to stretch forth his arm
of power as he has in the -suppression of
crime and ku kluxism. and should he fail,
the remedy is thenfin the hands jf -the Re
publicans of New Hanover in the coming
election, to support the man that will smv
tain them and stand by their interest,' and
show to the world: that Republicanism is
respectable, and will be protected at any
and all hazzards. - - , '

ments upon my letter to the Post of the 9th

road, v "Old fogiesl like he applies the epi
thet of whining scallawag; for his informa
tion I will say that I am a native born, and
a descendant of a Highland Scot, a true re
publican, in favor of the United States
and also, the State governments, accenting
the reconstruction acts as a fixed fact. I
have put my shoulder to the wheel of prog
ress, and now say to all such weak impedi
ments, as lie and his followers," to stand out

In ' referring to the ' appointment of an
agent at this place, he says, that Mr. Sellars
did surrender ; the office up to? President
Sloan's appointee, eight days previous to
the 9tb, that would1? be the 1st day of June.
Now, . as he pronounces my informant to
have uttered a falsehood, also, ., that I know
naught of .what I am writing:! will ask the'
editor of the . fiobewnian. the ..date of Dr.
Sloan's letter of appointment to E. K. Proc
tor. Was it not dated prior to the ICth of
May t and did not Jlr. Proctor demand the
office of Mr. Sellars prior to that date ? Did
not Mr. Sellars refuse the first demand ? I ;
The answer to these questions I will leave
to Dr; Sloan,' Mr. Sellars and; Mr. Proctor,
who I know will give the Hdbesonian suffi.
cient reason to believe, as I do, that if.any
falsehood has been told it orfcnnated in the'
I editorial chair of ihc 'Itibesenian. - , i
' The editor refers the intisely ioil',', to
Mr. Harrey, (Contractor,) to earn their daily

Employment has been denied to good
mechanics by officers of' this road, for the
reason they were republicans.;, '
. How long shall such things exist in a cor
poration managed! by a republican majority?
is a question" for Governor Holden and Dr.

that the election is near at hand, and repub
licans known to be in ? favor J of removing
such evils will be the coming' men. ' v -n

Mr. Editor : We were , all, that is the
poorer class of the community, rejoiced at
the great decline in gold, souiq time ago,
as it was thought it would, have a tendency
to make the life of a laboring man more
endurable," by a cprresponding- decline in
the price of the necessaries of life ; but we
have hoped in vain. Groceries and proyis
ions are still commanding the same prices.
Meats have not fallen,' and if anything a
higherprice is asked. Rents remain the same;
and so we might go on and enumerate almost
everything of our , necessaries .of life. No
visible change - in the way of, a decline in
price of goods has occurred. . Gold has not
advanced again, and the difference between
130 and 114 it appears, ought to make a
similar difference in everything else. . k -V
You have placed the Post as the labor-
mg man's paper, therefore we address you
on this subject. Let us have the benefit of
the decline in gold, k T " - .
