| years ago because Mr. Walker was

is not true. He says if ever the sal

give Senator Vance my influence and
vote because he is the best friend the
people of North Carolina have and
he stands in the U. S. Senate to-day
the best friend the farmer has.
The Democratic party in North
Carolina has adopted the Alliance
principles and they both stand on
the same platform.
He says when petitions for rail-
road commission were pouring into
the last legislature the radical party
opposed it, hoping to get railroad
money and influence in the campaign.
The little lawyer went with his party.
He had a motive. 1t was a free pass.
John Reynolds stopped down and
sold himself for pass. = If he (Ful-
tom is elected he will favor a rail
road commission and will try to pass
law prohibiting officials from ac-
cepting free passes.
He asks Reynolds if he is going to
vote for Brewer. Reynolds says:
''That is my own business"
Fulton then quoted Chas. Reynolds
words: "NO DECENT, sELF-REsPEC-
TING REPUBLICAN CAN VOTE FOR
BRowER.'
On the rejoinder, Reynolds bristles
up and says: eff any man says that
any railroad man said anything to
me about a railroad pass, he's p
liarl" Note his language elf any
man SAID &C." He got a railroad
pass and rode on it, anyway, and he
voted against a railroad commits
sion.
SHEPPARD AND LINEBACK.
Among the first things Lineback
says is that Mr.. Fries beat him by
the free use of money,-a statement
which the people know to be untrue.
He says he don't like either the
State election law or the force bill,
but fails to come out squarely
against the force bill.
He, too, claims to have kept the
county from getting a new court
house.
He says he is not ashamed or
afraid to say that he voted against
railroad commission and he did it
because he thought not more than
one-half the railroads in the State
could be reached by it. IA lame ex-
cuse, Mr.. Lineback. He tries to ex-
cuse himself for accepting a railroad
pass on the ground that "Others did
it, too" [Ratsl]
He says he introduced a bill in the
Legislature to extend the jurisdiction
OF magistrates, but being Republi-
can, he did not ha We influence enough
to pass it and so a Democratic men,
Der copied his bill and had it passed.
lIf Mr.. Lineback hasn't influence
enough to pass a simple, non-parti-
san bill like that, then the people
don't need his services in the Legisla-
ture
Mr.. Sheppard puts the rabbit foot
on Mr.. Lineback. He shows that
Mr.. Lineback voted against a rail
road commission. Further, he states
the fact that when a resolution was
introduced to appoint a committee
to investigate the business of the
railroads and ascertain if they were
liable to State tax, Mr.. Lineback
voted against the resolution. But
the committee was appointed and it
forced the railroads to pay into the
State treasury over $4,000 in one
year.
He scores Lineback because he pre-
tends to be an Alliance man vet has
notsigned all the Alliance demands"
He has signed all except that for a
railroad commission, and this is one
of the most important.
When Lineback came out of Brow
ers convention he said he was no
longer a party man. He will not
vote for Brewer and the inference is
that he will not vote for Moore
Lineback, on the rejoinder, denied
chat he said he was no longer a par
ty man. Said he was a Republican
and would support all the nominees
except Brewer.
1t is our opinion that the Demo-
Gratis made votes at Old Town and
that they will make enough in the
county to be elected by comforta-
BILE majority.
