to the State Chronicle.

Special to the State Chronicle.
SrATEsvILLE, N. c., April at
the ioint discussion between Robbins
and Butler here today 1900 or 5000
people were present and gave both
speakers patient and courteous hear
ing. Alliancemen from Catawba,
Rowan and other adjoining counties
were present in large numbers and
were liberal in applause for Mr.. Butler,
but the Radicals and the negroes pres
ent also manifested their delight. Maj.
Robbins made an able and convincing
argument against he sub.trrasury
plan, the government ownership of
railways, and was especially strong
against the plan to pay the Federal
soldiers over again as demanded by the
st. Louis convention. He denounced
the conspiracy of Polk, Butler and
others to lead the Alliance Democrats
into the Third party. 1t would be i'm
possible to give a corr ect idea OF his
speech in short article. He made an
eloquent plea for Democratic suprem-
acy and unity which was applauded by
all Mr.. Butler started out by saying
that he was not going to make All AL
liarce speech, but was simply going to
reply to Mr.. Robbins. He denounced
the two old parties with great impair
tiality, denounced Cleveland, de-
nounced Hill and, though he was asked
the question three or four times if he
would support the nominee of the
Chicago convention, he lodged
it every time. The first
time the question was put he
answered it by asking if Robbins
would vote for the nominee if the con.
vention adopted the St. Louis demands
and nominated man in sympathy
with them. Robbins replied that he
would, for the reason that he had nc
idea that the Chicago convention
would do such thing. Buffers an
swer was that if the Chicago conven
ton adopts the North Carolina plat
) form he would support the nominee
Upon being pressed for an answer, h'
said that if majority of the people il
the next State convention said that h
ught to vote that way he would do SO
The speech of Robbins was convincing
7 and, among the intelligent Alliance
i, men. will do much good.
