THE DIFFERENCE.

Chairman Faulkner has drawn a
parallel between Bryan's and McKin-
ley's methods of campaigning
''These methods" he said, IF all the
accounts be true, present a vivid con-
trast. On the one hand we have Mr..
Bryan trying to reach the intelligence
of the people, speaking to them at ev-
cry station as he travels through the
country on the cars. He addresses
three audiences day and undergoes
the most exhausting physical and
mental efforts. = ay
''On. the other. hand there -isgt Mr..
Mckinley quietly retired i'm his own
beautiful home, reclining, on cushioned
chairs and luxurious sofas, while he
receives Populations of corporations
and manufacturers.
'"These corporations, we are told,
bring to his house thousands of farm
ers, of whom about one hundred are
real farmers, laborers, glass workers,
iron workers, and SO ON; all of whom
ride free and at not dollars cost, to
Mr.. Mckinley, by reason of the favor
of the moneyed powers and corporate
institutions of this country"

THE VERMONT DEMOCRACY.

The gold standard won an uncon-
tested victory in Vermont. The Demo
Gratis. with a stupidity that courted
defeat, in their State convention adopt
ed a gold platform in almost the iden-
teal words Of the Republican platform.
Between two similar platforms, there
was no. reason why Republican State
should not double it's majority. If the
Vermont Democrats had bravely cut
loose from its gold faction, and given
a clear ring for bi-metallism, it would
at least have deserved to win. But it
can never hope to be strong party
as long as it apes Republican policies.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-09-03

John p. Irish has found out that the
man who will break away from the
Republican party to vote for Bryan
''are those who are Disconnected and
belong largely to the class of men who
want to remodel the world" Now we
come to think of it nobody followed
Luther, or Cromwell, or Washington
except the "discontented ana the men
who want to remodel the world. twas
dissatisfied men who have wrought all
political and religious reforms in the
history of the world.

A JOINT DEBATE AT sMurHFrELD.
A Large Crowd Addressed by Aycock
and Osborne

4 Large Crowd Addressed by AycOck
and Osborne.
Smithfield, N. c., Sept. 2.--(Specia)
When court adjourned for dinner
yesterday a large crowd assembled in
the court house to hear Hon. B. f.
Aycock, Democratic nominee for State
Treasurer, speak on the issues of the
day. For one hour Mr.. Aycock held
the undivided attention of his audience
with good sound Democratic speech.
After speaking awhile on National
politics he turned his attention to
State issues and paid his respects to
both Republican and Populist parties
He showed the inconsistency OF the
Populists in declaring against trusts
and monopolies, and then nominating
Mai Guthrie, railroad corporation
lawyer, for Governor.
After Mr. Aycock closed Mr.. r. w.
POu announced that 10y an agreement
between the county chairInen of the
Democratic and Populist parties the
Populists were to have a speaker to re-
ply to Mr.. AycocB.
In the absence of any other speak
er, Mr.. ID. 7. Massey, the Populist can
didate for the Legislature arose to
speak. He spoke for a few minutes
only, telling how much he loved his
God, his country and his liberty; ask
ing everybody to vote for Bryan and
Watson, and calling Sewall a gold bug.
He even called Mr.. Frank Osborne,
who had just entered the room, a gold
bug.
After he closed Mr.. Osborne arose to
reply, and said there was nothing to
reply to as Massey had said nothing.
He told the citizens of Johnston coun-
ty that if they threw their votes away
by voting for Bryan and Watson, they
were bigger fools than he had ever
seen outside of the Populist' party. Mr..
Osborne was questioned by a Populist
who afterwards wished he had kept
his mouth closed. For one hour he
held the audience almost spell bound
with his plain, forcible and logical
argument of the principles of the great
Democratic party. He made a strong
plea for free coinage of silver proving
to the Populists present that he was
a better silver man than they ever
dared to be-
He was frequently interrupted with
outbursts of applause. 1t was a great
speech and will do great good in this
county. After he had closed a prom
inent gentleman said to nae, "That
was the best speech / ever heard /
wish every man in Johnston county
could have heard it" ..e-~ E..r ~
The Democracy of this county is be-
coming more and more enthusiastic
eachddy and will, as usual, do it's duty
at the polls in November.
