Will you allow me space in your columns to drop a few lines in my bunglesftne way, touching upon the political issue of the dayl I am one hundred and thirty years old, and hare never scratched a Republican ticket from Washing ton to ' Roosevelt both inclusive. They say the time has come when a loyal Republican can vote for Dick Hackett against Spencer Blackburn. I don't think so, I quote from The Charlotte Observ er, of Sept 9th, the following: Hackett says he has been to Greensboro getting some of Black burn's men out of trouble, and that they have cut loose from him (Blackburn) from 12 to 20 stronghe declares. Now Dick how many Wilkes boys did you appear for in Greensboro! Did you appear for anyone save R. II. Hardin who was convicted in one account and judgement withheld until Decem ber! Do you want to slap in the face, Will Barber, who appeared for all the other defendants, or do you mean to let it go through the country that you prostituted the Judiciary of the United States to accomplish your political ends, and to elect you to Congress by using your influence privately with Boyd and Hoi ton, to condone the offences of the revenue violators. If yon did and accomplished it, God save the United States Judiciarv of North Carolina. We don't believe it. We don't lielive with all vour persuasive eloquence, that you could get Judge Boyd to soil his judicial rolie to elect you to con gress. No, Dick, you never did it You want to pluck from Will Bar ber the laurels that he won, if any one won them, in giving his clients the privilege to return to their homes until further investigation could be made. It has been cir culated in sections of this country by your friends, that if they would vote for you that judgement would be suspended permanently. Now if Mr. Holton has intimat ed such measures to defeat Spen cer Blackbnm, his official head should come off at once. Now it is for Mr. Holton to speak up in the meeting. We know that it has had its effect upon some, for they have said that they were afraid to take any stock in trying to elect Spencer. Dick, you read Walter McEwen's affidavit in your speech at Concord. Of course Blackburn, from your standpoint, seduced McEwen, and caused him to start up a blockade distillery. After he had made a profession under Sam Jones' preaching, and while still running "Klondike" said he was determin ed to live a better life, changed the name of his firm', but we got liquor there just the- same. Dick, on the same day that McEwen made his profession, you gave Sam . Jones and George Stewart your hand and from your looks I think yeu had something near a quart concealed under shii t. You retir ed to No. 16 in the Wilkeslwro Hotel anil sent for Dr. Turner to come and administer antidotes, and now you come out as a great tem perance man. One fellow said sometime ago, that you spent your own money to go to the Legisla ture to enact laws for the iHMiefit of Wilkes. You went there to de feat the Watte law and to establish and incorporate distilleries in ' Wilkes, Foray the and Rowan. Dick, how many times have you I ever attended Keely? Did you ;ever play , pokert Haven't you made No. 16 a gambling den 1 for years! Did yon ever hive a check protested, given tor your losses in poker games! Did you ever hart your nose plugged to beep from bleeding to death from the effect of drinking whiskeyl No, Dick, you hare never seduc ed a disdiller ( or any one else. ha Ye you!). You are a white winged angel. You never made the home of an old crippled con federate soldier dark and black. (You have always been the friend of the orphans). You ought to don the robe of a catholic priest, and administer the sacraments to the Nuns, those beautiful maids who have taken on the black veil. Of course an evil thought would not enter your brain, nor an amor ous passion enter your immacnlate body, for you are pure and unde fined; a combination of humanity seldom found, except irithe person of the late Rev. Mr. Lee or old Willie Breakenbridge of Ken tucky. i v i i mck, wny am you commence your mud-slinging against Spencer Blackburn! You knew his char acter is as far above yours as the noon sun is above the dim moon. Why did R. A. Spanhour and A. M. Church, two strong Democrats write letters all over the district twQ years ago, showing you up in your true colors, in order to de feat you for the nomination, if you are the white winged angel you would have the people of the Eight District believe you to be! Did you not threaten to bring suit against these gentlemen for dam age, after the convention! Did you bring suit! Dick, we knew you and the peo ple of Wilkeslxno know you. Yon came back to Wilkeslwro Sept. 29th, aiid in your speech said you was glad to get back home, and you cried a little. I don't think it was the tears that trickle down the cheeks of a penitent boy from disobeying his parent, but you had arrived where you once made uight hideous by your unearthly sounds, and where you used to pop firecrackers and fire dynamite, spending $ 10 at a time, of the hard earned money of father and mother, whom I always respected. But you are a degene rate son of highly respected par ents, but like the potato, the larg est part of you is under the ground Dick, you always get religion about campaign times when you are a candidate. In your speech at Wilkeslioro you said that you was never going to touch another drop of liquor, God being your helper. Why didn't you put in poker playing, too. The next time you go to Keely, you tell them to add poker playing to their bill of fare. Dick, did yon ever send a molatto with a letter purporting, being from Clarence Call, asking1 asking Hill Gray to stratch Mr ('lick's name off the tickett and vote for him, leing the means of Mr. Click loosing every vote at that precinct, but two. Did you do that, Dick? Why did you commence your campaign by getting up affidavits from men who had plead guilty of of violating the ' law, and adding thereto who had lieen able in the past to take the largest drink of whiskey, you or Spence! and bring in your little Friday, Bob Deal, who of course never took a drink in his life. Spencer is far above yon, lxth in moraltyand sobriety. Don't you suppose that some damaging affidavits could le gotien up against you if the Re publicans would stoop low enough to indulge in such things. Yon are the ' only candidate that I ever heard of that made their campaign Bolely upon affidavits. Dick, sling all the mud you wish to, we know you. Jfe will wait until the returns come in from the ministers of the Gospel, and from the deacons of the amen corners on ' election day, and see how many indorse you. Rough. Despondency and Democracy go hand in hand. Rally round the flag boys! And rally once again, shouting the death knell to leetle browed Democracy. Vote her straight and don.t take water wheu any of the auto crats of Democracy attempt to tell you any of tneir free trade heresy. til sunset Tuesday evening. Nov ember 6th. Let's give the Re publican party the greatest major ity it has ever had let's carry every Congressional district let's give Roosevelt, the peerless one in fact, the greatest ovation he conld receive by sending to him the news of a Republican victory everywhere. When a cow dies some farmer will coma along and offer to remove the carcass for the hide but no body will remove the Democratic party on those terms liecause it is too dead to skin. Whoever saw, in all the history of the world, such unexampled prosperity! Republicanism brought it nothing else. Then you know how to vote, and see to it that your neigbor is informed. It was only a few years ago that (i rover Cleveland, as the oricle of Democracy, brought panic and al mast famine in the land. Vote against the Democratic party. Time was when the people be lieved what a Democratic political) said, but it has now come to the pass that they have to resort to affidavits to prove their assertions and the affidavits come from their own clrss. Wonderful people, these Democrats! It is necessary to nail a false hood this early in the campaign. Hackett stated at Jefferson that Blackburn while in Congress, did not pass a single bill. It is a well known fact that the federal court at Wilkesboro was secured through the efforts of Blackburn, as was the 75,000 appropriation for Salisbury. Numerous pension bills have lieen likewise secured. Mr. Hackett must have been grossly ignorant or maliciously misrepre sented his opponent for he secured the appropriation for the former's home town, Wilkeslioro. Now and then you'll run across a Democrat so cross-eyed that he declares all this talk that times are good and wages are high is bosh, but to silence his gab will you offer him five dollars apiece for half a dozen man who will work at the average Cleveland price and we'll take the bunch. The Republican party need only cite the doubting ones to its splen did history its splendid achiev ments to successfully meet all . de famers of its character. It stands pre-eminently the greatest party that ever had birth under the warm sun of God. A ticket voted for Democracy makes Socialism stronger makes commerce tremble. Republican principles are the principles which have brought us this unpar alleled prosperity would you vote to strangle the party that has given you abundance of bread? Take down your history and have your child read of the evenrs of this nation of its progress and its wonderful success. And call the child's attention to the fact that most all the names of the big men; the great men are the names of Republicans. Why is that. When you iro out to cast vour vote a next Tuesday, pt in your mind's eye, if you can, the picture of three million desperate men out of employment, se their wives shivering and naked and their children pinched and starv ing, and vote against the party that gave ns that picture in ninety-three. The following was handed to The Topic man this week but fail ed to hud its wav into his col umns: Mr. Editor: In last week's issue of The Top ic A, not having been present at Gamewell, got the facts con fused in regard to the Boyd affair. He says I remained "mute" and "reylied not a word,'' but I prov- .11 . eu ny eye-witnesses in the pre sence of a large crowd of people in the Court House Saturday that I did reply. When one recalls how many different statments Mr Boyd has made aliout the matter it seems unnecessary to reply to anything he may say, but if he remembers anything, he knows that the receipt is identically what he sent to me. He complains that I have made some reference to him during the campaign, but uot until he made what he hoped would prove a damaging offidavitto me, did I say one word about him. XT T 1 i Mr. ijovu may deserve some sympathy but I sympathize more with the tax payers who suffered a loss on accouut of his failure. Again "X" says that the re ceipt sent to me was J. Wilburn Curtis' receipt, but a careful ex animation reveals the fact that the name J. Wilburn Curtis does not occur on the tax books for any year. Mr. "X" was not bidding for the Ananias Cup, neither is he an unknown quantity but an honest man, and of couuse he will gladly correct his errors. J. W. C. A Reliable Remedy for Croup. Mrs. 8. Rosinthal, of Turner, Mich igan, says: "We have used Chain oeriain 8 uongn medicine for our selves and children for several years and like it very much.
