I mean the majority 70 percent, and there isn't one in 50 that, adheres to Mr, Whichard's teachings that has courage enough to stick to his hon est convictions because they have never been accustomed to think and act for themselves. But let's go back and think about Mr. Whichard's promise and see what port of it he fulltilitu. 1 he next issue after the convention, he says: "At the third party convention held here Sat. Col. Harry Skinner and Mr K. A. Moye spoke declaring"' them- selves third partvites. This is all that will be sid" in reference to this fact, as the Editor is and has been absent for. the past week. On his re turn they Will-doubtless receive d.ue ; attention." Whether Mr. Whichard watched with any great , degree of' interest is a matter with him Would j suggest however that lie was he was too deeply absorbed in pleasure taking. As he had. -promised to give a faithful account of the meeting if his reporters were allowed to " i a great many . looked for it while some did not think that he would give it any mention at all. Tlie Johnson-Bryan-ivirkman combina tion convention was so vastly differ ent from what he, had expected (his views being circumscribed by the incorporated limits of Cret-rivilJe) that instead of giving an account of the convention, he wet his pen in the ink of prejudice,, guildedl it with a rnleor ruin mind, summed up all the siuph uric epit hets at his com mand; leveled his gun at the. people that had made him and let go one voluminous discharge of abusive briti cism towrad the masses of Pitt Co. in general and Col.
