" Who is He ?" The Question
Answered
Since the Campaign began, there
has been waged the bitterest, the
most savage, the most unjust and
inexcusable warfare apon one of
(he prominent candidates for Gov-ernor.
A warfare which has neith-er
merit, justification nor the public
good as its foundation ; a warfare
fierce, persistent, in season and out
out of season, by da; and by night,
continuous and cruel: yet with all
the fury of hate, with all the ven-geance
of despair, with all the am-bition
that inspires men to daring
and to death, this warfare has
been kept np; and, lor what I
The State has been deluged with
newspapers containing charges of
the most unjustifiable character,
charges of (;««..■! corruption, charg-es
of bribery, charges of incompe-tency
which would be cal-culated,
if believed, to dam
age and injure beyond recall
the reputation, political and per-sonal,
of the present Chief Magis-irateof
this comiroowealtb. His
integrity has been impeached, his
political sagacity has been ques-tioned,
his pecouiaiy embarrass-ments
have been published to the
world. His private affairs have
not escaped the furious war which
has been raging around bis politi-cal
bead, and from the sea to the
western hills his lair name, his
well deserved reputation and honor
have been assailed with an indus-try
.mil liluuil i liit.si ii.i'-s wbicli
would do credit to the politics ol
Looisiaua, or the revolutions ol
Mexico. And not only that, but
his misfortunes in war have been
made the batt ol ridicule ami the
convenient vehicle ol base calurnu-u\—
and lor what purpose?
Who is Thomas J. Jarvis, people
of North Carolina, anil whence
came he t
In his boyhood he was indus-triouf,
honest, a poor laborer
upon the farm of bis humble but
highly respectable father; later in
life by the energy of his nature and
the assistance of friends, he acquir-ed
an education, aud thereafter
graduated himself as a lawvee.
When the OaBBQR^ MMM at Su-ii,.
ter .i.ini.-., ,, this nation to cou-tiict
of arms, he took his ataiid
shoulder to sbouldt-r with his kith
and kiu under the battle flags of
North Carolina,ami where the lirey
flames of deathwere leaping fieicesi,
and the carnage of battle was dark-est
and thickest—w»° aoen the
tall foru oil* thvs true but
bumble sou of Carolioa, fight-ing
for his State and her honor.
And his shattered and palsied arm,
a trophy of his devotion to prin-ciple,
liberty and the honor of his
people, mast serve as an event in
his life, for his enemies and his false
friends to build an argument npon
to prove his un^tness to be your
Chief Magistrate.
North Carolina, t'oea not so re
gard it, thank God,
When the war ended, at the call
of duty, he appeared at Raleigh,
one amoLg a few to w.hom the
State looked in her hour of peril.
In peace, as in war. he rtocd true
to bis peopleand to his State. Like
a wall of fire he and his Spartan
band held in oheok day by day for
mouths the corrupt and disgracefnl
legislation of 1868. To him, as
most prominent aud able among
that little band the eyes ot North
Carolina were turned. Year after
yea;- he has been seen in the halls of
legislation as one who had come np
through great tribulatiou, uut-pot-ted,
n i'-riiin-lit il. pine, unassailable.
As speaker of the House of 7,iep-iMi'iii.
i VK as President of the
Senate, as Lieutenant Governor,
end fiually as Governor, he has had
the conn ' i net- of his people, the re-spect
of his enemies, and the sweet
consolations of a clear and uncor-rupted
conscience. NoKatiical in
North Carolina, the most daring,
the most irresponsible, the most
degraded, has ever yet upon the
stump in North Carolina accused
him of corruption, of infidelity to
bis State or to his friends. That he
is poor, (not rich) has never been
made an objection to bis fitness for
office. That his wounded arm,—not
of his own pleasure, but by reason
of the Providence pT tlie wise and
beneCcent itoler of us all, hangs
useless at his side,—should be used
as an argument against his compe-tency
for office, has never before en-tered
into the imagination of any
living man.
Then why this war upon Oover
■or Jarvis f
We believe him true to his State,
true to his friends, true to himself
and true to liberty.
In the PATRIOT of the 21st of
April, wa find thus language :
•'The^ Gi.v.ruor u,un naada be a man of
„„und judgment, guod hard common sense,
and acquainted with the minute, and details
of busiuesa. Now if we can rind a man who
is popular with the masses, combining in
himself the elements which constitute a safe,
practical, prudent, economical business man,
Ihen, that is the man we want for Goreruor.
We hare in our minds eje one possessing
all these qualities, which constitute a flrel-olasa
business man, logeth-r with the art of
captivating the people, by the simplicity of
bis manner, the modest/ of hi, demeenur,
and the wisdom ot his speech, who is some-times
eloquent, alwaya sensible, never rash,
a wise leader. Who is he t"
We unhesitatingly answer,
THOMAS J JABVU, the present
worthy, effioieot and honorable
Chief Magistrate of North Carolina.
And without disparagement to any
of the honorable genllernen whose
names have been suggested for
Governor, we trust and believe
that the people of North Carolina
will rally around the standard of
Thomas J. Jarvis and bear it to
triumph and glorious victory.
"Let justice be done, thongh the
heavens fall:"
A Danger Passed.
To the American citizen, inspired
with true American patriotism, the
news of the late result at Chicago
gives profoundest satisfaction. The
principles and ideas involved in the
proceedings of the Chicago Conven-tion
of 1880 were above the plane ol
mere party politics. They touched
ibe very life of the R,'public. The
Third Tertn and Personal Govern-ment
loomed up together as the
most ominous menace to American
liberty.
For a while there did seem
cause to tear that the sturdy vir-tues
of the Fathers had left the
breasts of a majority of this genera-tion,
aud that they were nuking
ready to bow their necks to the
yoke and bend their knees to the
Purple.
It is the cause 6>r special gratu-lation
that the lebuke of this ser-vile
sentiment came from the pow-erful
party in which it originated.
We are glad, as Ameiicaus, that the
Republican party itself put its foot [
upon this mi Ame: .„..,, scheme of a j
third itirui and personal rule—a!
scheme secretly cherished, by many
of its friends and openly dreaded
by its foes as " the beginning of the
end." The whole odious thing is
more effectually squelched than it
could have been by a Democratic !
triumph in a party "ontoSt where |
this 'dyS would have been the
pivotal question. Though it might
have beeu beaten down in a party
contest, it would have derived
strength and consistency from the
efforts in Its behalf, to culminate in
future danger. But it has been
strangled in the house of its frionds,
and so effectually buried, '.'.,,.1 tins
generation ov the uex-t will be
troubled with it no more.
General Grant neglected the
grandest opportunity of. his life
when be failed to put his foot apon
this, to him, insidious proposition.
When the Grant "boom"' began to
assume such big proportions, some
six to twelve months ago, if the
General bad promptly manifested
the decision of Hen. Washington
under similar circumstances, it
would have proved a crowning ad-dition
to his fame, heartily recog-nized
by the South and by the
North and by all posterity. But,
alas! the unotuous flatterers who
perceived and nnrsed the weakuess
from which they expected to profit,
and who presumed upbn the weak-ness
of I lie people of this nation,
lured tbeii idol to—defeat,
Ii is well. While we are a iit|le
bit sorry or Grant, nor a bii sorry
for his particular friends, we think
better of the great body of our fel-low
citizens, North, South, East
and West than we did a week ago.
We go in, now, for beating Gaifield I
■uni his Republicans on legitimate
American issues.
William ». i|Ml, EHQ., was not ap-pouitsd
u>tbi» pssnieo. Be weat
to Washington backed by the very
best influence of Guilford County,
ami it was concluded that he was
eminently qualified to perform the
duties of the position.
We understand that be was high-ly
compfamsDted by the Attorney
General, for the very creditable
manner in wbieh he b*4 attended
to the business of Assistant-Attor-ney,—
aud his capacity was fully re-cognized
at Washington, in admin-istration
circles.
We aie glad to knowJbat he will
retain bis present position, under
more favorable conditions than
heretofore.
Can't we have Schools ?
The lion. CyioeP. Mendenoall
who has been absent rrotn the dry
for some days travelling along
the North Western line of the
Cape Fear aud ladkin Valley
Railroad, in the Interests of 'the
Company. Mates several Inter-esting
incidents connected with his
trip. One however, calls attention
to the fact that our public school
system is not only inefficient, in-adequate
bnt badly administered
as the following shows.
He called at the house of an old
gentleman who had raised twenty-nine
children ; on the bill near by
be had a son who bad twelve, many
of them growu, some half grown
and others small children :—they
came out in troops to see what was
going on. Upon inquiry being
made by Mr. Mendennall why so
many children were kept at home,
instead of being at school, the old
gentleman rep'ied tbat there were
no schools iu bis neighborhood, or
in reach of him, and tbat they were
not able to send their children off.
t'poo further inquiry in the neigh-borhood
Mr. Mendeohall ascertain-ed
that there were few schools in
Stokes and along the line of his
♦.ravels, and those that were kept
up were inadequate to the demands.
'■.'iiiaspeaks volumes. Thousands
of our citizens are growing up to
manhood and womanhood without
the means of education, growing np
in absolute ignorance. Something
is wrong. Either our system is
imperfect, our means inadequate,
Ok1 our officers in charge of our pub-lic
schools incompetent. One or
the other, or all of these things ex-ist.
Let the maiter be looked into
by the people, and let ns provide
money and schools for the rising
generation and if neoessary compel
parents to scud their children to
-.. ;,,■ il. ai ,,-...,i, it part of every
year. Until we have edocation
among the masses we wiM not have
attained that high state of civilisa-tion
of whisli we are so eminently
capable. I. ■■ the press take this
question up ami push it to a glorious
ending. Give us fewer poli'iciaus
and better schools.
