man, the candidate of Maj. Malone
and his committee of 20 for register

Hon. Rob-. D. GiImer, of Waynes-
Vile, delivered verv able and in
terestirg address before the Young
Mems Democratic Club, OF this city,
at the court house last ev ming. Mr..
Gilmer is an easy and flucntsDeak-
er, and his remarks were greeted
with much applause.
Maj Malone is the great tariff de-
bator of this county canvass. He has
not found out yet that it is Congress
and not the Legislature which can
carry cut his plan of giving the psS,
pie free whiskey and taxing them |
nigh on all they eat and wear, and |
use on their farms and shops and ON
their Bibles. Or perhaps he thinks
he is running against Mr.. Ewart for
CoHgress-on the sly. Perhaps he
is.
The idea that Capt. Geo. Howell
presiSts in running against his old
comrade>ir arms, John Courtney,
whom he carried to the war and left /
there to lose leg, is mortifying to

Enursney does. The people will res
elect Mr. Courtney by an over whslm,
ing majority, as the RAIDS are irving
to swap Uucle George off to get votes

the place.
Some years ago when Mr..
was assistent district attorney The
federal courts were held in Raleigh,
and TO that point many OF our peo-
pie were dragged to be tried by that
tribunal and presented by Mr.. Lusk.
These people have not forgotten these
things, nor have they forgotten that
Mr.. Lusk got rich out of the blood
money thus forced from them. He
got six thousand year. OF course
he can brag to those people that he
owns a 6ne $4,000 shot gun, and
dOuble-nose pOinter-pup. He can af-
ford it but they paid fer it.
