Republican Bourbon Clash in Wilmington News Ad Rates
The Wilmington Post lists advertising rates per line and four Nixon cts annual subscription, then prints a political column attacking the Bourbon Democratic Party. It accuses city Bourbons of disregarding workingmen rights, cites 1876 Board of Audit selections, and urges North Carolina union of free white voters to oppose Bourbon rule. It ends with Republican conventions in New Hanover and Pender counties and Maine sending a Republican delegation.
