JARVIS SPEAKS

Butler. His description OF The
Convention showed a prejudiced
mind and 10 little bitterness.
At times he squatted aud per
formed antics on the stand that
would not have been expected
from a clown at a show. His
attack on Marion Butler was, to
say the least, cowardly. There
was no offer to divide ii ne,
there was no opportunity gwen
to reply. We have seen little
cross road politicians take such
unfair advantages, but it was
certainly not to be expected
from a gray-haired, venerable
old man who had been Cover
nor Of the State. He attacked
ard piled abuse on the editor
of this paper as one o. the lead
ers of the Peoples party move
ment. He said he had no kind
feelings for the leaders Of the
movement, but that for the
poor, blind, deluded followers
be had the greatest sympathy,
and for them had the deepest
interest. This piece Of dema-
gOgurv caught no one iii Samp p
son. In fact the people will
resent it. There are no blind,
deluded followers. For it there
ever has been q movement in
which the people, the great
rank and file, took the lead it is
this reform movement. In spite
Of the vindictive course of the
machine politicians, partisan
papers and the pr descriptive gag
rule, Cleveland-test policy of
the Dem. State Elk. Com, near
ly every one who Lad been
prominent in the reform ad-
vised against taking independ-
eDt action. Yet the great mass
Of the people rose in their
might and said that they would
not be trided with, that they
would exercise their constitu-
tional right of suffrage, free and
uDtram BLEED, and in a manner
that principles of reform and
the relief of the masses. The
people of Sampson feel that
Jarvis was abusing them, for
they were ahead of the editor
Of this paper in taking the ac-
ton which devotion to princi-
pie and self-preservation forced
them to do.
Jarvis trirade on The CAUt'A-
SIAN was made to please a GER
tain sev around Clinton. He
succeeded in pleasing that set,
but he lost ten votes in the
county to every one he gained
by such Il low and unfair course.
While Jarvis was dealing out
his abuse, Elias Carr sat upon
the stand and smiled and nod
ded approval Jarvis next eu-
logised Mr.. Carr. III the next
breath he eulogised Gov. Holt
aud said that he was friend
of the people, one Of the best
Governors the State has ever
had. Elias Carr again nodded
approval. Holt the high tariff
man, Holt the cotton plaid
trust man, Holt the high inter-
est man, Holt the special friend
Of the railroads, Holt the man
who is opposed to every reform
dear to the people, this man
eulogised by the men who are
king the votes of the people.
IT all this suits Mr.. Carr what
did he ever join the Alliance
for? We advise Mr.. Carr to
resign and let Mr.. Holt be put
up in his place, for Holt is the
ideal candidate for what is left
of the Dem )cratic party. The
very crowd who tried to nomi-
nate Holt row have full control
Of the machine. If Gov. Holt
was opposed /, to and fought ev-
cry reform 3 IL sure up before
the last Legislature, we call
upon Mr.. Carr to say whether
or not he endorses Gov. Hollis
course. If SO, no reformer, no
friend Of the people CAN vote
for him. Mr.. Jarvis next euIo-
gised Mr.. Cleveland as the
greatest, purest and best man
living. He said he was the
friend of the farmer and labor
ing man. Great Azans gosh i.
1t required the cheek of the
proverbial government mule
to say this. But then Mr..
Jarvis got over $4,000 from
the government treasury from
