ffourishing and in good condition. In
my State they are trying very hard to
remain in the Democratic party, but

Speaking of Capt. Faucette, the
Independent candidate for Congress
against Col. Cowles, the Lenoir Topic
says: ave owe it to the other coun-
ties to tell just how Capt. Faucette's
candidacy is received in Caldwell,

Senator Vance spoke at Durham
last Thursday before large audience.
The Globe has this to say about it:
"Mr. Vance spoke. This is about all
that can be said. When Vance
speaks, he speaks, and this is all. He
spoke of his own record, and said that
ne had been in their service for thirty
six years, and this was the first time
the farmers or people ever found fault
with him-and this fault was on his
position on the snb-treasury bill. He
wanted to know if any man in the au
dience-and it was large one-owned
a horse and it had never made bottle,
would he find fault if the horse SHE'D
away from q mud hole? This sub
treasury bill he regarded as unwise
legislation. He riddied the Mckinley
bill. and made all in all a patriotic
dress-taki1g two and one-hali
hours. OF course his stories caused
the audience to howl.
