    In the presidential election of November 1880, Marcus Sylvanus Deal evidently was an election judge appointed by the "Radical," i.e., Republican Reconstruction, government. He did not allow college students living on campus to vote because Marcus Sylvanus knew that they intended to vote the "Democratic ticket" printed by that party. North Carolina did not yet have the "Australian" or secret ballot system in which the government supplied a printed "official" ballot that contained the names of all candidates and that was to be marked in private, folded, and placed in the ballot box by each voter.

    [A "staked and ridered Radical" meant "hidebound," "unwavering," or "staunch." The expression refers to a stake and rider rail fence in which two rails are crossed to form an X-crotch, at which point they are bound in order to support, together with a second X-crotch, a cross bar, much like a modern sawhorse. With such an arrangement, a farmer did not need to dig post holes.]
