The Wilmington Coup (conclusion)
Daniel Schenk, Democratic leader, on the 1898 election in North Carolina:
It will be the meanest, vilest, dirtiest campaign since 1876. The slogan of the Democratic Party from the mountains to the sea will be but one word... Nigger.
Alfred Moore Waddell
Wilmington "rioters" in front of the Daily Record offices
The Men who took down their shotguns and cleared the Negroes out of office yesterday were not a mob of plug uglies. They were men of property, intelligence, culture ... clergyman, lawyers, bankers, merchants. They are not a mob, they are revolutionists asserting a sacred privilege and a right.
- Harry Hayden, rioter
