Mason and Simmons in Goldsboro:
They Speak to a Good Audience
of Country and Town People.
Two finer speeches, covering
the entire field, and neither re-
peating the subject matter Or
thoughts of the other, have never
been delivered in Goldsboro than
those that fell from the lips or
Col. Thos. w. Mason and Hon.
F. M. Simmons at the court
house in this city yesterday
afternoon.
Although the notice of the
change of the hour from the even
ing to the afternoon hardly
had time to. get widespread
circulation, yet quite a large
crowd of town people and
many countrymen gathered
to hear them, and every one
was thoroughly repaid for his
time ard attention.
Col. Mason was the first to
speak, and he has lost nothing
of his old time eloquence and
grace and the power of his logic
has increased with the cumulat-
ing years, SO that he wiEs and
charms and convinces all by his
fluent speech and grace of ges-
ture and the unanswerable ava
lanche of facts that he hurls at
the heads and policies of the two
opposing parties-the Populist
and Republican.
Col. Mason was followed by
Mr.. Simmons. who for nearly
two hours hello his audience from
his opening utteranceto his elo-
queno and impressive conclusion,
in charmed attention and in round
after round of spontaneous APP
plause. Every word that he
spoke fell upon listening ears.

can, colored man, all, with con
vincing truth and making re-
joinder impossible. His voice
was clear, every word distinct,
his argument clean cut, his facts
uncontrovertible, his conclusions
logical and convincing.
1t was the general verdict Of
all who heard them that two finer
speeches have not been heard be
fore in Goldsboro.

Mornings frosty grow and cold.

Sunday and yesterday we're

brightest spot that intervenes be-
tween Summer and Winter and
possesses an unusual charm
through the very suggestivenes;s

It's mornings and evenings are
cool and bracing; it's days are
warm though moderated by ex-
hilarating breezes, and every
thing in nature has reached the
pinnacle of perfection and started
down the declining side.
Every sight and sound breathes
to us the fact that Summer has
vanished. The Autumn insects
chirp the live-long day; the birds

predicted it would be. The col

perpetuity of good government
and the maintenance of party
principle, and they T asserting
their views as men. And the
public generally in the State and
the nation will have more respect
for them for doing so. The tus-
ion grabbers-the combine of Of
fee hungry Pops and RAIDS that
counted on riding on the negro
vote into Office this year in Wayne
county have reckoned without
their host. The colored men OF
Intelligence and character real
ize that the bedrock of their
progress and upbuilding as a
race is principle. There is nc
principle in this unholy al
lance of the Republican of
fice-seekers and the Populist
Office seekers in a common com
bine for mutual personal adj
vancement to the offices they CO.
vet. The negro is right in stand

he can go forward upon the

Critical Politics i'll New York.

New York is the political
storm centre this year. In most
of the other great States there
will be scarcely a contest, but in
New York the chances of the
two parties cen about evenly
balanced and the result must
have a most important bearing
upon the Presidential election
two years hence. The party
that carries New York now will
start with great advantage in
1896, and the successful candii
date for the Presidential nomi-
nation of his party.
AL this gives national signih-
canoe to the contest in New
York and especially to the nomi-
nation for Governor to be made
by the Democrats this week. The
disfavor in which Tammany is
held, which led to the defeat OF
the machine candidate for Judge
last year, encourages Re
publican expectations, and Platt,
who occupies the same position
in New Work as Quay in Penn
sylvania, has recognized the re
spectacle sentiment in the nomi-
nation of Elk Vice President
Morton. Bat Morton's molten

weakness, and since his nOmina-
ton the Democrats have been re-
towering their courage, with the
Idea that if they can nominate q

candidate most in favor seems to
be Judge Gaynor, who owes his
distinction to his successful OPP
position to the party machine in
Long Island. Whether Hill and
his retainers would accept such a
candidate, or how hearty a sup
port shey would give him, is un-
certain. Hill himself would take

RANSOM THE COURTEOUS.
The Same Genia, Sincere Man in
the Senate that he Was in Camp
Battlefield.
70 the Editor Charlotte Observer.

To the Editor Charlotte Observer.
In newspapers opposed to the
reelection of my old general,
Matt. Ransom and from the
mouths of those who delight in
misrepresenting him, it is al
legged that his courtliness is the
insincere mannerism of the poll
tician; not the manifestation of
sincere politeness.
Since the war Ihave seen Gen
.eral Ransom but a few times, and
but once in several years. Each
time, however, he WAS the same
generously and genuinely polite
gentleman that he was when /
was a boy soldier in his com
mand. When I read Senator Ran
SONS graceful eulogy on Vance,
and, later, the account of the
courteous manner in which he
presented Senator Jarvis to the
Senate, on the occasion of the
induction Of that new Senator, [
perceived nothing in the pen
portraits of Ransom'S charming
grace which had not personally
witnessed in camp, and even a.
mong the dying and above the
pale faces of the dead on the
field of battle.
When private soldiers of his
command, returning from fur
Tough, reached camp, Ransom
would visit them, warmly grasp
their hands, inquire as to their
health, and earnestly and ten
derby ask concerning the welfare
of the families they had left at
home.
Ransom was no more polite to
Mr.. Jarvis than he was generous,
kind and obliging to the humble
privates under his military au-
thority.
[ was one of the five color
guards of his command at Sharps-
burg. Three of my companion
guardsmen lay dead on the field,
when I, by the grace of God,
with my single surviving com
rade, bore the battle flag of Matt.
Ransom's old regiment from the
bloody field Of Sharpsburg. My
position in the line of battle was
such that it was my privilege to
witness the movements and bear
ing of Ransom. Then, as senior
colonel, he was in command OF
the brigade to the bragadiership
of which he was afterwards pro
NOTED.
In the battle of which | write
he was an ideal picture of gentle
man and soldier. His head was
uncovered, and what was theI
but slight badness revealed it:
perfect mould. Though missiles
of death were raining from The
ranks of the Federals, Ransom
walked up and down the line o
battle as calmly as if passing
over a field bathed in morning
dew instead of human blood
Constantly uttering words of en-
enlargement to his men, now am
then, he would approach som
battle-worn and weary soldier
Then, master of manners in battl
as now i'll Senate, he, bowling
would extend his hand, and i
words as kindly as the utterance
of q mother, would SO cheer tn
poor soldier as to inspire him t
spring anew to the work of bat
tie.
I hear that my polite, true
kind and brave general is yet
splendid figure of manhood
; May he live long" is the praye
of every soldier who serve'
under him, But when he falls

Editor ''4rgus'-Will you kindly
allow me a small space in the
columns of your paper, to say to
my many friends of the three
political parties who live in
Wayne County, that I thank them
for the confidence they have al
ways imposed in me as a man,
and a citizen of the county.
[ settled in Goldsboro in 1876.
I have always tried to merit the
confidence and respect of the
best people with whom [ lived.
What ever trusts that have
been committed to my charge [
have endeavored to administer to
the best of my ability.
I believe that the party in
power ought by right to have the
offices. Civil service notwith-
standing, but they should not at
tempt to injure the good name
| of a fellow citizen for an excuse
to get a Republican out of Of
flee.
| am Republican and love the
name because it was the motto of
freedom, that Abe Lincoln had
inscribed on it's Banner that set
my people free, and a man who
will deny his people and follow
false Gods is no man at all.
believe ITO the victor belong
the spoils" and have not a word
to say to my being removed. I
went in with clean hands, and
[ came out the samesway. L have
my way of thinking and acting
about politics.
But there is no man who
breathes that is more fixed in his
convictions for the good of the
whole country than your humble
servant, and before I would sur
lrender one of these convictions
I would tramp out of your town
and seek a home among strang-
erS.
I was removed because I was

) wanted the place.
Truth crushed to earth shall
