Says "a Few Words.
Gen. |. G. Field, candidate for vice
r president on the Third party ticket, was
not given an ovation today in Ashevilc
| The court house bell rang when Gen
Field and Marion Butler, the Third party
elcctor.at,large, and president of the
Farmers Alliance, walked INTO the court
house. A few persons spoke to them ai:
ter they were seated, but there was a
formal chlIlncss about the affair that ex.
ceeded the somewhat frosty air of the
court room.
Gen. Field looked older and more fee
bic than he did a few years ago when he
denounced Billy Malone so vigorously
from every stump in Virginia for irving
to break up the Democratic party. Per.
haps Gen. Field has COTTON too old to
remember this.
Marion Butler introduced Gen. Field.
They would not divide time with K. b.
Glenn, the Democratic clector-at-largc
When Butler mentioned Cleyelands
name, the crowd broke into wild cheer
ing, which continued for several minutes.
Gen. Field said regretted the audience,
aud was glad to see so much intelligence
manifested. am not here, "hc said,
to harrow up your feelings with the
rawEead and bloody bones called the
force bill, as did that distinguished man
Gen. Stevenson some time time ago.
am here to ask you to vote according to
your own convictions. Is the war of the
sections never to end Are YOU not
standing today right where you were
standing IN 1865. Has any one OF YOU
been benefited one cent by these discus
SONS on sectional issues; Haven't YOU
got the same degrading, damnable tariff,
only made worse. None of the unjust
measures have been changed except to
make them more unjust. This sectional
war has been going on for thirty years
and not one thing has been gained by it
tor the good of the laboring aud farming
classes.
Il don't mean TO deny the fact that
political parties arc essential, but polti-
cal parties are means tor the attainment |
of ends. lfyou were to listen to some of |
the Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Har.
rlson speakers OF the present dav, YOU
would almost be made to believe that
the Democratic party. SO called, of the
South, and the Republican party, SO
called. OF the North were born in the
Garden of Eden before Adam sinAcd and,
therefore. sinlcss.
The Peoples party has as much right
to be here as any other part. We
make no apologies for being here, and,
another thing, we won't aSl; anvbody
to vote with us who don't agree with
us. But we want you to vote according
to your own convictions, and not be
scared of by this rawhead and bloody
bones preached to YOU by Mr.. Steven
son with sneer and other speakers
whom you have heard. The Peoples
party has sprung from the womb of the
necessities of the people. O, | would like
to have time to tell you about that
great gathering at Omaha of the conf
mon people, of men who had no axes to
grind and did not travel on free passes.
| hey went there under deep sense of \
wrong and injustice. They looked out {
over a land that was theirs along the {
public highways of which years ago
tramp was never seen, and in which S
there were not half dozenmll llonaires;
but which now is reduced in value, and {

know which is right, so I'll use both

Gen. Field then talked about the tariff. S
,aid he: If Cleveland will write tariff I

When Gen. Field closed there were loud

make statement, but it was some time
