SAYS York nearly every time. Whether
from faulty education or desire to make
himself better understood by illiterats
people knOwnot, but he says A" heerd" for
heard, Ameriky" for America. "iuren-
rrsv for foreigners, Kaintucky" for
Kentucky, and so on and he told how. on
certain occasion, "thc Democratic party

said to-day that he never went TO school
but three sessions in his lie, and two OF
them was TO a dirt-dob school-hOuse" ="
For all OF that, and inasmueh as be has
been good deal in public life, fancied
that he was sometimes ciinging 10 homeiy
phraseology 10 bring himself square down
TO the level OF bis work.
qERRoRs OF TIE TAEIrF.
York's speech was simply an arraign-
ment of the Democratic party, especially
on the tariff and on the Blair school bill.
and he charged them with having failed 10
pass n bill that he york. introduced TO re-
peal or modify the internal revenue. He
charged present hard times lof which see
little evidence in the North Carolina towns
to the agitation OF the tariff. "Whv."
said he, "the tariff agitation has done It.
The banks are illustrated, the manufactures
are frustrated" and he thought what was
wanted was the triumph OF Blaine and
Logan. He pictured the horrors that
would ensue with this country flooded with
pauper labor. and said that under our
present Government our people never
thought OF emigratiug to other countries.

six men emigraling from the United States,
and they went 10 Mexico after the war, and
the ealnippers and black knats like to eat
them up. and they were mighty glad to get

Blair bin, York grew eloquent abOdt the
value OF education aud about the poor man,
and. asked he. Suppose war comes, who
fights the battles Of his country"
The answer came quick enough from
some one in the crowd" GeneI Gi Scales -
fGreat cheering
1t was q complete setback for York. for
you must know that the Old-soldier element
here is strong, and Scales. Democrat, has Z
beautiful war record. and York has none

GOVERNOR JARVIS.
The Governor. after saying that General
Scales WAS absent by reason OF an accident
that beielI him on Il mountain road in the
western part OF the State (when, to keel
from being tumbled down a precipice by
runaway horse. he jumped out Of the
buggy and was badly bruised and scratched
called attention to the fact that DR.. York
though running for the office of Governor,
had not said a word about State affairs
that he had dwelt on national affairs and
not once brought under consideration State
affairs. Governor Jarvis wanted York 10
point out where the Democrats had been
unfaithiul in their adminish alton OF NORTH
Carolina affairs: challenged him to show
where he (JarviA had been recreant to hi:
trusts. Getting on further, the Governor
said: ~ want TO ask him to-day, here, i
he is Republican or Democrat"

Laughter and applause.l
YoRK's WEAK POINTS.
Governor Jarvis raked up YOrk's legis
latiye record when York was Democrat
and proved him more OF demagOgue thar
a true friend Of the poor man, for he vote(
against the bUilding OF asylums and th'
establishment OF normal schools. lii
charged thst the present tightness In The
money market was due 10 the fact tha
SlJO, ,0OO,O00 OF surplus money was locked
up in the United States Treasury. He Said
that it took the Republican senate thre'
months 10 get the Blair bill through, snC
DR.. York expected the Democratic Hous,
| TO do in one month what II took the Senate
three months TO do. The bill, he believed
| would pass at the next session; though I
| is not y party measure, and both sides arr
| divided on il. Governor Jarvis considered
| 1t a huge Joke to think that Ike Young
Mott, and Cooper [reyenue oflicersl are II
earne st when they say they are for AN abo
| litiOn OF internal revenue
In closing, Governor Jarvis summed NJ
| the blessings our people hsve enjoyed un
| der Democratic administration, amonl
| which are the settlement OF the state debt
| completion OF the Western North Carollni
railroad. the establishment OF Norma
schools and insane asylums. the completion o
| the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley road. AL
| these and many other things contributed
largely to the prosperity, peace. and hAppl
ness OF our people. We are all living IN al
era Of prosperity, the Governor said, llvlni
under good laws, wisely administered. one
| special cause for congratulation Is the fac'
that this year the people have no taxes tS

This year our people see something never

THE EFFECT.
Governor Jarvis is man OF good appear
ance on the platform, and speaks well. IL,
