Come and tell me what man from
North Carolina was in high Office
under Harrison? One man in this
State of 1,7OO,O0 the first State
to proclaim liberty. Oliver Dock
cry did have a consulship in Rio.
They gave John Nichols 49,
600 position. Who did Mr.. Har-
rison appoint? [ had one Demo
GRAFT, Judge Thomas Fuller, ap-
pointed. What else did Mr.. Har-
rison do?
Mr.. Cleveland put three South
ern men in his cabinet during
each term. He filled the foreign
courts with Southern men. In
every corridor at Washington
you see honest, Southern men.
Justice has been done us by
the Democratic party. Three
Supreme court judges have been
appointed; two of them Lamar
and White, were from the South.
You cannot get this justice for
the South accept at the hands of
the Democratic party. Justice
is immortal and omnipotent, JUS
tice which is the law of God,
which holds the sun in it's place,
which keeps the grass green and
women true.
God may haye shaken my rea-
son, but if these are truths, |
cannot see how a Southern man
can vote for other than the Dem
ocratic party.
This commonwealth of ours
embraces 50, 500 square miles of
territory. The great waves OF
other lands strike the sands of
ours and our mountains lift their
hands almost to the sky.
Cortras this commonwealth
now with what it was between
1868 and 1875. Wen lie down
with unlocked doors and in peace
under the shield of the Demo
cratic party.
The taxes in North Carolina
are lower than in any other ag-
ricultural State in the Union.
Will you put a blot upon it, [ ask
you, in the name of 500, 900 chill
dren and of 100000 women, in
memory of the ashes of youl
brave brothers who lie on the
red hills of Virginia.
How we'll we know of the Race
problem that confronted us
Lightnings flashed from the
cloud with deadly brilliancy, the
world dreamed. philosophers
wrote and women trembled. Nov
the great race question is being
settled in peace.
Grover Cleveland, great an6
noble and patriotic man as he is
(great applause), both of the
great parties rose up as one and
applauded Cleveland when ht
suppressed their lawlessness.
This land which is the light o,
the world, do you want to turn i
over to the mob. 1t must not be
Tennessee has said no by 33, 00C
majority, Alabama by 10000
Arkansas by 10000 and Virginia
by 80, ZOO, and just here you will
find North Carolina (tremendou
applause.)
After thirty years Of darkness
and misery and prayers from ou
sweet women we are now upOl
the borders of the promise'
land. We have peace.
The next time, the Democrat
will come to the great work upol
the financial problem and befor
the 4th day of next March. I be
lieve in gold and silver bein!
equal and paper money redeem
able in the metal. The Demo
cratic party has only one NOR
duty and that is to give you goo
, currency which it will do.
The speaker compared til
Populists to the Israelites cryin
{ for the flesh pots of Egypt Will
Moses was receiving the law fror
, God on the height of Sinai.
Men of North Carolina, do w
intend to emulate the lSraelite
while we are on the borders c
light? This must not be.
l This party born with the unio
l is the party for eternal justice
; 1t will stand and survive.
Go home, organize, in ever
: township. Do not be overcor
5 ident. Do your work. Invok
q the blessing of God and | pra
Him to give us victory over tn
: enemy, by our women with IL
I fants upon their bosoms, and Sc
