To Mr.. Alexander's surprise. Mr.. W. A.
Dunn, of Scotland Neck, shrewd lawyer
and good campAigner, was on the ground
ana replied to him in a speech of an hour
and a half.
Mr.. Dunn was prepared with all the
documents necessary for terrifying his
position, and completely covered the
ground against all Mr.. Alexander had said.
Dunn discussed the questions of the day
logically and from q standpoint OF tho
rough acquaintance with them. He show
ed by convincing argument that the tariff
is the great burden on our people and the
Republican party Is responsible for it, and
the Democratic party is the medium for
relief. Alexander's speech made no con-
yerts TO his cause.
Richard Higgs, q colored man, spoke
after the white men had finished and
urged the Republicans to stand together.
Mr.. Alexander said he would speak in
ROseueath Township to-day, and Mr.. Dunn
told him he would be there to answer
him.
The Scotland Neck Military School
opened its second year yesterday. The
opening was fattering, and the prospects

SCOTLAND, N. c., August 26.-The Third
party campaign was opened yesterday IN
this community.
Mr.. S. NJ. Alexander. a strong Third
party man and big farmer, had given out
that he would speak at Anthony Johns, a
cross-road and mostly q negro settlement,
two and half miles from Scotland Neck.
A large crowd of negroes were present,
put there were few white men except those
who went from Scotland Neck. There
were about 200 persons pTesent--75 whites
and l25 negroes.
Mr.. Alexander spoke for more than an
hour with little effect except to elicit ap-
proyal from some of the colored people.
His speech was an arraignment OF the two
old parties. He said he had voted the De-
mocratic ticket for forty years. but shall
vote the Third-party ticket henceforth.
He said he had contempt for the late
Congress, and promised full relief through
the Third party. He eulogized Weaver and
said he is a gentleman.
