There were present a number who
had been opposed to the Alliance.
As Mr.. Butler spoke they drew near
er and listened, and when he closed
they all joined in the applause and
cheers. The ladies presented the
speaker with large and handsome
boquet, which he accepted in grace
Iul and appreciative terms.
The crowd then called upon a half
dozen or more gentlemen who were
present, a ad in their short talks many
happ.f hits were made. The crowd
spied Mr.. Frank Colwell. They
rushed to him, picked him up, car
ried him to the stand and called Tor
aspeech. He did. speak and to good
effect. There was no speech that did
more good. He said that there had
been trouble between him and the
Alliance. That he had spent many
sleepless nights as to what his duty
was and how he should vote. But
he said that he voted for Butler and
that after hearing his speech, that
he now thanked God that he had
done so. Everything passed off sue
cessfully and in the best of humor.
The meeting has conciliated
matters and done an untold amount
of good. Neighbors will feel better
toward each other and Alliance and
non-Alliance men now understand
each other and will hereafter work
in perfect harmony for the common
good of a common country. III.

The Old settler; IN this secti; say
that nothing like the jubilee OF iasi
Saturday night was ever see.. in
these parts before. The street for a
long distance was lighted on either
side with blazing barrels of rosin.
The people had gathered in from the
surrounding country in full force and
each one was vieing with the others
TO show that be was the gladdest
over the peoples victory.
Mr.. Marion Butler, the Senate
elect from this district, who had
been invited 10 speak on The oeca

he was escorted to the roatrun. He
said, you>pa three cheers for But

ple's victory in Sampson; thre :
cheers for the peoples victory III

victory in Michigan, Minnesota.

three cheers that the eople have
beaten McKinleyand Ingalls,, and In
81 doing have triumphed over cor
porate greed and the tyranny Of
money. Three cheers fer the tri-
umpb of truth and right everywhere.
What does your victory iuean? Here
the speaker went on to give the cle-
n.ents that entered into the contest,
and showed why the people arose in
their might and elected men who
they thought would see that simple
justice was done to all classes.
In this county we have BEEN divi-
ded among ourselves, yet both sides
tonight rejoices over the great ma
tional victory that has put the pop
ular branch of Congress in the hands
Of the people by over a hundred
majority.
The speaker then went on to show
that the fight in Kansas, Souti. Car
olina and other States which gave
such aston ishing results VAS on the
same line and for The same princi-
pies as the fight in this county. Then
what have we been doing here i'll

another instead ofjoining together to
fight the common enemy, or to a GER
tain extent both sides h We been to

the farmers and the merchants Or
professors, and the member of the
Alliance, who, by his words or con-
duct, leaves that impression. SLAM
ders he noble order, of which he is
an unworthy member. The Alliance
is fighting for great principles, and
this great victory means the triumph
of these principles, and the triumph
of these principles means the pros
perity of every man who is making
or trying to make an honest living.
1t means an honest governments
