OSBORNE IN GOLDSBORO.

The Democratic Candidate for Attorney
General Speaks to large Audience
and Arouses Great tEnthusiasm-Dem
ocrats Made Strong in the Faith
Third Partytes ask for Division of
Time, and then Fail to Come to
Time.
Democracy had a gala day IL
Goldsboro Monday, the ,ceasion
being the speech Of Hon. Frank I.
Osborne, Democratic candidate for
Attorney General, who spoke in the
Court House to a large audience of
representative Democrats from
all sections of the county,
and a goodly smattering of
Third partyites from all along the
line, who happened to be in the city
en- route for Raleigh as delegates to
the Third Party State convention,
which holds forth there to-day. He
gave them something to think
about on tn, way-and many of
them, we are sure, are sore disturbed
thereby.
At the hour of noon the Goldsboro
Cornet Band, which makes most ex-
cellent music, and is in readiness for
the camnaign-drew the crowd to-
gether and headed the long posses
sion to the court house. When all
was in readiness for the introduction
of Mr.. Osborne, DR.. W. J.. Exum, who
is somewhat engineering the Third
Party invalid in this county, came
forward and asked for a division of
time. This was promptly granted
him, and tken he said he did not
want to speak himself, but that they
had a man down stairs or some
where in town that they desired to
put up against Osborne, and the
Doctor, who evidently did not
expect nor wish his request to be
granted, went out ostensibly to look
for his man, but did not return o.
even "send word back; so, after due
waiting, and after Mr.. W. T. Dortch
had explained the reason of the de-
lay, the audience would not wait
any longer,
DIR. W. j. .Jones, in words of fergid
patriotism, true Democracy and en-
thusing oratory, introduced Mr.. Os-
borne to the audience, who greeted
him with generous and spirited ap-
plause.
Mr.. Osborne began his address by
candidly stating that he was Il candi-
date for the Office of Attorney Geper-
al On the Democratic ticket and only
as the candidate of that parry would
he accept either the nomination or
office. He is distant relation of
Mr.. Adlai E.Stevenson, candidate for
Yice-President, and he knows he
| Mr.. SteYenson) is good man be-
cause he turned Republicans out of
office. He outlined the princi Piles
and doctrines of the Democratic
party; its virtues and teachings, in a
manner SO plain, that the wayfaring
man, though Republican, could not
err therein. The corner stone of
Democracy is "Government for the
people, of the people and by the
people," a government economically
administered-taxed for the benefit
of all apd not for the few.
Protection, that monster that is
fastened upon the body polite and
is draining the life blood from the
poor and oppressed, is responsible fol
the depressed condition of orr mar.
kets and the stringency in financia
| circles.
| There is no difference between the
laws of morality and the laws o.
economy. Protection begets extrav
aganee, and extravaganza is Grim,
that must cease and must be pun
iished by voting out of Office the vas
sails of monopolistic lords that ar
only too willing to fill the pocket
of their masters at the expense o
, poor down-trodden humanity.
