C. P
RITCHARD
.
Pritchard (1857-
1921), lawyer and Republican politician from
North Carolina, was the only Republican
U.S. Senator from the state of North Carolina
between 1895 and 1903 and was the only
Republican to represent a southern state in the
U.S. Senate during that time. Though
Pritchard was not up for re-election in 1898,
he still made news during the campaign. His
argument that the few African-American
officeholders in the state hardly justified the
accusations of “negro domination” prompted
this long public letter from Democrat
Furnifold Simmons in which Simmons listed
many instances of African-Americans in public
office and insisted that Pritchard answer each
claim. In late October, with the election about
a week away, Pritchard further riled the
Democrats when he asked the federal
government to send troops to North Carolina
in order to ensure a peaceful voting process.
