Delaware produces measures OF a
political character that are equal to
the most obnoxious laws against
which our forefathers rebelled in
I776. We think that the men who
dominate the Democratic party in
Delaware, concoct the most damna-
bic, the most unfair and the most
contemplate laws ever placed on
the statutes Of this or any other
State. Two years ago, in response
TO a public sentiment against which
they dared not rebel, fair election
wassenacted, and men given a fair
show to pay their taxes. lfthey
could not pay them this year, they
were given the chance to pay them in
subsequent years by assessing them
again; but the bosses for Kent and
Sussex counties don't like this plan,
and have had this fair system
changed back to the old disfranchis-
ipg laws Of 1873. Where the dirty
work come in, is, in the manner they
brought it about. No notice was
given that they intended to do it.
No notice ofthe law was given be-
fore the limit 20 receiving new BUSH
ness expired-this would have balk-
ed the object at which they aimed.
They waited until the delinquent
list for 1899 was made up, and then
sprung the law on the Republicans
and applied 1t to the delinquent last Of
1892. This was DISTINGUISHING with
out public notice, and we believe it
is unconstitutional OF course this
makes the election Of 1894 practic-
ally a walkover for the Democratic
party, but the people Of Kent and
Sussex county when they tire Of the
rotten system Of government, in
State and county, will find the old
Republican Party doing business at
the old stand, prepared to carry out
her pledges for reform, ready to take
up the reigns of government.

This is the first Ambassador that the
United States has ever sent abroad
and little Delaware comes in for the
honor-frst in everything; from
signing the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States down to the present day.
Thomas F. Bayard is particularly
well qualified to fill this important
place, by education, experience and
the courteous habits and bearings Of
a gentleman. In Europe the United
States has never took rank as she
should in the courts of the countries
where our representatives have been
sent, because Of our laws terming

The peach growers Of Delaware
feel encouraged at the present out
look fora crop Of fruit during the
coming season. Disappointment has
followed so persistently for several
years past, that peach growers are
not oversanguine of the results yet
for 1898. The buds are now ready
to burst into bloom. and when once
they open so that water can enter
them, frost or freeze after light
shower would blast the prospect for
even one-tenth of a crop, SO, while
the present indications are for a crop
Of peaches, yet the growers are max
ing no bills on the strength Of the
rop.

The special election to be held to-
day is waste Of public money, but
under our ancient system of laws,
and the out-ofdate constitution no
other course was open. The present
session Of the legislature is drawing
to a close and the new member can
not more than famiIiarize himself
with the work before adjournment,
and not even party measures make it
necessary for the vacancy to be filed.
This should be changed, even if a
constitutional amendment is neces-
sary.

PICNIC AT

Mr.. EDIToR:-August 18th, 1898, was
a bright and beautiful day, and as it
had been previously set apart for an
Alliance picnic and to hear the allah
sDrbing subject of the condition of the
country discussed, quite early in the
morning the people began to assemble
and they continued to come from Ran
dolph, Chatham, Alamance and Gull
ford counties until a large crowd had
assembled q would say 1900 at least)
In a grove where seats and a stand had
been prepared, eagerly looking for the

of North Carolina and the noble leader

in North Carolina of the reform move
ment of our country.
About IL o'clock a. m. the great
champion assembled the stand when
the eager listeners were greeted with
some appropriate remarks introducing
the Hon. Marion Butler. The speaker
then rose and for about three hours
held the vast crowd almost in breath
less silence.
It is commonly remarked by old men
Of different viewsi in the administration
of government, that the speech, instead
of being visionary and partisan, was
the most reasonable, convincing and
fairest arguments they ever heard. He
showed that the panic now prevailing
all over this once happy land OF ours,
causing so much excitement and dis
tress, was caused by our legislators
and Congressman being influenced by
moneyed monopolies. and urged the
people to organize and stand firm, that
the time was short for them to extri-
cate themselves from the clutches of
the moneyed power.
Notwithstanding the assembly was
large, best of order prevailed through
the entire crowd. No attempt has
been made to refute the arguments of
the speaker-an attempt would be but
to fail.
Other speakers who had been invited
did not arrive. The crowd was then
dismissed and partook of the basket
dinner prepared by the good women of
the surrounding country.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Dr. @. Thompson met
his appointment at Enochville on Aug.
26th, and had a crowd of between two
and three hundred and would have had
more but for the rain.
The 28th being stormy with hard
rain, there was nc speaking at Hatter's
Shop though they had prepared for
and expected a large crowd, and are
still anxious for him to return and de-
liver them an address
The Goth he spoke in China Grove to
a crowd of nearly LOCO people, I was
informed, who gave him a warm recep-
tim.
The 30th he met a respectable mum
Der CT about 300 at Cleveland and
spoke for nearly three hours. The peo-
pie gave him close attention and were
we'll pleased with his speech.
After the speaking the crowd were
fed from q table spread with many
good things, such as fresh meat, fried
chicken, good bread and fine cakes,
which the good ladies had prepared
and spread for u enjoyment.
The 31St he spoke at Woodleaf. This
"a a rainy day and the crowd was not
large, but very attentive and gave him
close attention.
Brother Thompson is an able expo
nent and brave defender of Alliance
principles, his arguments are strong,
logical, forcible and convincing. He
makes strong points with the best Illus
t~ration, he appeals to reason and pa
triotism and not to prejudice or pas
sion. This manner of speaking is that
of a Christian patriot and a true phil
anthropist. He seeks to promote, ele-
vate and encourage the interests Of his
fellow-countrymen. He will thus
strengthen the weak, encourage the
strong and help build up the Alliance
of our State. I congratulate the con
mittee on sending out such an able
man. Respectfully,
