LETTER WRITTEN BY
PRICHARD. DECEMBER I0TH 1896.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.
Just now the Senatorial question
seems to be the all absorbing topic,
but hundreds of men are thinking
about the educational question, and
as soon as there shall be some set
tlement of the Senatorial matter,
We have always known it, but ilr
public had convincing evidence of
the fact on Tuesday evening in the
splendid reception given Gov. Rus
sell by many leading cit'z ns of Ral
eigh. The fact we e tak of is that
the miserable, contemptible spirit o'
impotent spi e again?' .ome people
of the State v bich d..-o appears in
in the News and Observer, a so-called
Democratic paper, is not enter
tained by the best and most re
spected citizens of Raleigh, nor is
that "spite" a spirit of the people of
Washington, D. C.
