520 3 a| The purpose of this study is to evaluate Samuel A. Ashe as a North Carolina Bourbon who reflected the Redeemer mentality and philosophy. Ashe, a soldier, lawyer, legislator, and editor, was prominent in postwar state politics from 1870 to 1894 In politics Ashe was an extremely partisan conservative and intransigent defender of I the Democratic party. Born near Wilmington in 1840, Ashe was the son of a secessionist congressman and railroad president, William S. Ashe. He was first educated in the local school and later attended Abbott's Classical Academy, Rugby Academy, and the United States Naval Academy (1855-1858). At the Naval Academy Ashe became a close friend of Alfred Thayer Mahan and the two men continued a life-long correspondence. Ashe due to seasickness left the Academy to study law. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the Confederate Army and soon rose to the rank of captain and assistant adjutant-general to Brigadier General William D. Fender's brigade, a component of A. P. Hill's "Light Division." Ashe was captured at the Second Battle of Manassas but was soon released in a prisoner exchange and eventually served at Fort Wagner and the Fayetteville Arsenal. After the war, he worked at odd-jobs and finally got his license to practice law in North Carolina. Soon thereafter, in I870, he was elected to the legislature as a Conservative member from the Wilmington district. In the legislature Ashe proved himself a partisan Conservative and became an expert on questions of state debt and finance. He was a strong proponent of the impeachment of Governor William Woods Holden. After one legislative term, Ashe entered the law firm of Augustus S. Merrimon, United States senator, and Thomas C. Puller. He remained with the firm until 1879 and in that time was editorially associated with Blasting Powder (1872) and the Raleigh Evening Crescent (1874). In 1876 the Conservative lawyer was elected secretary of the State Democratic Executive Committee and in 1878 he became chairman, but was displaced in 1880 by the forces of Governor Thomas J. Jarvis. In the meantime he had become editor of the Raleigh Observer which was consolidated with the News in 1880 to form the News and Observer. Ashe remained the state's leading Bourbon editor for fourteen years. As an editor he became the great defender of entrenched Redeemer supremacy. He fought the rising tide of independentism in the l880's and also fought such editorial contemporaries as Walter Hines Page and Josephus Daniels. His greatest struggle, however, was with Leonidas L. Polk, editor of the Progressive Parmer and president of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union. From 1890 to 1894, Ashe became the outspoken enemy of compromise with the Alliance and the Populists. Such a position led to the election of the Fusionist legislature of 1894. The year 1894 also saw the end of Ashe's editorial career due to the panic of 1893 and his own financial inability. The editor, however, lived on for many years and remained active until his death in 1938.;
