Mr.. Woods Argument for Immed diate
Action.
Mr.. Wood, of BERTHE antagonized the
proposition to lay over, and made an
elaborate argument upon the reforms
demanded by the Alliance. The CHRoN-
ICLE will print his speech Tuesday morn
ing.
Mr.. Alexander's Views.
Mr.. Alexander argued that the ques-
tion was to refer, and that the question
Of the Sub Treasury was not deb atable.
Mr.. McGili Wants to Act.
Mr.. McGll said that while all in tend
ed to vote for Senator Vance, the mem
her were compelled, in justice to their
constituents, to vote to instruct him
We want harmony. 1t cannot be init
mated that there is anything in the
Ocala platform that is un Democratic
The State convention demanded the AL
iianoe principles and we can all afford
| to stand upon them. There is nothing
IN il to injure any, and the IN mber
ought to vote to pass this resolution
without reference
We do not want any specific thing.
We want that or something better. Let
| US end the uncertainty aud suspense,
and it can only be done by passing this
| resolution.
Capt. Watson Wants Discussion.
Capt. Watson saw no reason for any
haste. II we postpone, there will be
opportunity for full discussion; and thea
We can pass it as we'll as now.
Capt. PEBBLES Argument.
Capt. r. b PEBBLES believes that we
have as much leisure now As at any time,
and that it is well to di cuss this ques-
ton. If do not fool myself, | am not
second even to Col. Skinner in advocat-
ing financial reform. We are here with
two pets and we are trying to- array
one against the other. Senator Vance
ought not to be in the way OF reform
and is not; and the REFORM. ought not to
be in the way of his election.
The legislation for twenty year. has
been hostile to the South, and has grown
heavier from day to day. 1t ought to
stop.
We are united here Except Mr Pritch-
ard) to relieve this evil. Let US put our
heads together and let US discuss The
plans in every phase; and then bury our
differences In that way we can have
harmony. Some Of US do not belong
and cannot belong to the Alliance.
There are some lawyers whose hearts
and souls are as near the people and
with the farmers as much As any farmer.
Nothing can swerve them from that
duty-and no power, except the farm
ers, can prevent Us from assisting in
these reforms
Let us have the Ocala resolutions and
read them before action. We are agreed
upon the evil and the need OF remedy.
Let us agree upon the remedy.
We will have plenty OF time to give
our representative instructions. Con
gress is very slow, and we can wait TO
pass instructions for few days
believe that q State banking system
is one of the sources Of relief we must
look to- In the general crash that re-
were destroyed, and loss and deprecia-
ton followed; but there is no danger
from good system in times Of peace.
National banks fail and widows and
orphans are ruined. look TO the party
Of the North that destroyed this State
bank property. 1t is not ye. satisfied.
lay the blame upon the Republican
party We can establish system of
State banks that will give US money
that is plentiful if the ten per cent. tax
should be repealed.
Let US not go too fast. Let US take
time to consider. / am for the resolu-
ton to refer TO a committee. Then We
can pass them. am for Vance to legis-
late in Washington-not here; and there
| fore l oppose the proposition to send a
| committee to wait upon Senator Vance.
| Let us ask him to do nothing that does
not conform with his honor; and am
sure that he will do all be can TO advance
the reforms We have at heart.
Mr.. Norton's Position.
| Mr.. Norton, Of New Hanover, stated
| that it seemed evident that one-half Of
the members did not understand the
Ocala resolution. i am not prepared TO
vote. I therefore move thai. tho resolu
| tions be made special order for Tuesday
at 12 O'Clock. | am for Vance above
every other consideration. II he is will
ing 10 these resolutions, shall be z al
| to support them.
| Mr.. sutton for the Sub .Tseasm. =, Dill.
M. sutton thought if there We. any
question that was thoroughly unde ood
1t was this This vote will decide who is
in favor of the Snb-Treasury plan. The
! rnopla Of CUMBERLAND favor Vance and
taay ali faeor the financial reform al
yocatsd by The Alliance. We have al
ready pas sed Instructions in regard TO
banking The sooner We xettle the oues-
| tion the sooner will irritation be set
tied. -
