THURSDAY, AUG. %, 1890.
HON, F. NJ. SIMMONS.

A few weeks ago Mr.. Simmons came
out in a card Withdrawing from the
Congressional race, because he was
willing, if there was man more avail
able, to retire from the field. Mr..
Simmons is patriotic and would not
enter a contest that there would be a
scramble over, thereby endangerlng
the election of the Democratic nomi
nee of this district, which is SO close
that every good man must stand
shoulder to shoulder to win success.
But the people of the I'd Congress
sional district are unwilling for such
man as Mr.. Simmons to retire, and
there is tremendous pressure through
out the entire district that he must be
the standard bearer in this contest.
There has been great enquiry, who
is the man? and the answer comes
back, Simmons! He has been tried !;
he has been true to the Democrats !;
he has been true 10 the farmers and to
every class of our people, against the
great monopolies of the North fostered
by the high tariff, that causes the bag
ging trust and other such inlqutous
combinations.
The great majority Of the farmers of
this district feel grateful to Hon. F.
M. Simmons for the strong fight he
made in Congress for them against
the infamous bagging trust, which
caused this trust and other tariff-bred
monopolists to send large sums OF
money in the district in the last cam
paign to defeat him for reelection,
and which did cause his defeat. They
feel it to be their duty to send Sim
mons back to Congress to again battle
bravely for their rights. They know
that he can do far more for them than
a man who has never had any expert
ence in legislative halls. The fore
going are few of the reasons why
they favor Mr.. Simmons.
Therefore the legions of friends of
Hon. f. NJ. Simmons have determined
to place his name before the Conven-
ton, which meets in kinston on Sep
TENDER sd, feeling certain that if the
nomination is made by harmonious
convention he will not refuse to &C
cept.
We urge the friends of Mr.. Simmons
to attend the convention and see to it
that he is nominated. We feel conf
dent that he will be nominated har-
moniously, if not by acclamaIion, and
that he will lead the Democrats to vic
tory in the coming campaign. --kins-
ton Free Press.
There is no doubt in our mind that
Simmons is the most available man to
nominate. He has stronger follow
ing among both Democrats and Re-
publicans Che can carry many negro
votes throughout the district) than any
other man whose name has been men
toned. Nominate Simmons and vic
tory will be ours.

The recent Democratic convention
Of Lenoir county passed resolutions
unanimously endorsing Hon. +. M.
Simmons for Congress. This was
done by delegates from the entire
people. 1t shows that the sentiment
of this county is for Simmons. 1t is
our candid opinion that if the senti-
ment of the county was truly repre-
sented Mr.. Mewborne would have no
to exceed one-eighth of the vote oft
Lenoir county in the Congressional
convention and Hon. F. M. Simmons
would have the balan Ce--klnston
Free Press.
And this, too, in Mewborne's own
county Where he is best known the
people say he will not do, as plainly
indicated above. Simmons is the man
to send to Congress from this district,
and he ought to be nominated by &C
clamation.

gence. She has furnished Texas with
four Governors and will soon furnish

GRACEFUL REPLY.

We thank Brother Manning for his
characteristic reply to our article last

expressed in his reply shows that his

hurried pencil say something about
his being a "li,tle jealous" we retract
even the slightest insinuation Of jeal-
ously on his part.

The engine went down the embankment,
followed by the entire train with its
human freight. The scene was one of
great horror. The cries of the impris
