PRIT0HARD IN CHARLOTTE.

THE COMING OF BRYAN.


1T is Peoples Year! Some of the
big rich call times unsettled" when
the people try to voice their needs and
to vote for what they believe will sup
ply those needs.
VIM. Mckinley believes this.
The McKinley-Annex Democrats be-
lieve it.
The Republicans believe it.
VIM. j. Bryan does not believe title
believes with the people. He believes
the people own the country. He be-
leves that in needing them lies peace
and not revolution.
Better still, the people believe that
he believes it-they know it.
Thus it is that this man is giving
utteranee to the heart of his fellow
men, whom Lincoln called the plain
people.
IF he were not doing this it would be
somebody else besides the plain people
who make up his audience.
Massed at every crossroads of this
country are the plain people listening
for the whistle of the locomotive that
brings Bryan.
Men of North Carolina, he is coming
this way.
The people will hear him for their
cause, and they will be silent in order
that they may hear.
And THE lips of their hearts win have
been opened, and they viii feel glad
and clap their hands and Bryan will
hear a shout breaking like wave a.
cross the State, and all the Mckinley
ties as one will be unable to wash that
wave out.

GEN. PALMER ON SILVER.

After turning down General Bragg
because he had been a Greenbacker,
the yellow-hammers at Indianapolis
thought they had secured a "a carat
gold candidate in the person of Gen.
Palmer. 1t turns out now that up to
his election to the United States SEN
ate, General Palmer was an ardent sill
yer man.
Discussing the Bland-Allison bill.
Senator Palmer said, in January, 1877:
cit is all very well to abuse the
friends of the silver dollar as in
hationists, thieves, regulators,
and all that sort of thing, but re-
ally the friends of the gold dollar
ought to pay the same attention
to the members of the convention
who framed the United States Con-
stitution, and who made the silver
dollar the unit and standard of val
ne in this country"
Again he said:
eff there is any dollar more hon
est than the silver dollar of 371K
grains (of pure silver it has not
been discovered in the century or
more that the nation has existed.
If there can be any such thing as
a dishonest dollar, that miserable
sham, trick and traVesty of coin,
gold dollar, exactly fills that des-
1gnation."

reckoning. Other party leaders afore-
time have done this, and have re-
pented in sacl1-cloth and ashes when
defeat and disaster overlook them, in
their abandonment of principle. His
tory viii repeat itself. The protests
against the fusion with goldIbugs in
all sections of the State mean that
there are Populists who will not be
sold out to Pritchard and Settle and
other gold-bugs. Many of them win
not talk, but they will vote against all
who are "herding in the camp of the
gold-bugs and monopolists."
This is what these things mean.

The third Kitchin-Settle debate occur
red at Stems, in this county, to-day.
The crowd was equally as large as that
of yesterday One of the significant
facts connected with this canvass is
the unprecedentedly large crowds that
turnout, evincing the deep interest Of
the masses in the question at issue.

discussion to-day. Your correspond

the conservative opinion when 1 say
that Settle has met a fOeman worthy
Of his steel, and tO-day's debate de-
monstrated the fact that Kitchin is
more than able to meet the shrewd
Republican nominee at every point.
Settles rejoinder would not compare
with his opponents.
After the debate a prominent Repub-
lican Of Durham, who was present, re-
marked that unless Settle improved
Kitchin would run him off the stump
before the canvass was over; and a
prominent Populist stated substan-
TALLY the same thing. give these to
show the sentiment in the other par
ties.
The Populists of Granville viii sup
port Kitchin. After the speaking yes
terday at Wilton, which is the strong
hold Of Populists in Granville, every
Populist Of prominence promised per-
sonaiy his support to Kitchin.
They will go to the Populist Con-
gressiOnal convention and work in his
behalf. This is the sentiment through
out the county. They say Settle must
be defeated; they are in earnest.
