had spoken.
Mr.. Pou-"Oh, just about an hour.
GO on, go on" yelled the crowd.
"0h, don't stop"
We'll, ! will say few more words,
said the Colonel, with his character
istic desire to oblige. This was the
greatest audience he had ever spoken
to, and he evidently didn't want to
turn them loose till they were salts

laughter and it was several minutes
before order could De restored. And
when it was the Colonel punished
them by reading a table setting forth
the number Of bales of cotton pro-
duced in this country every year since
1916 and the price received for it per
pound.
His hearers we're patient and long
suffereing but they could not stand any
more of that and when the statistics
were completed they began to yell for
Pou and refused to stop till Afford
sat down and Pou came forward. Mr..
Pou began by saying:
Fellow citizens: / did not attend
this meeting for the purpose of maxi
ing speech, but / thank you for this
opportunity you have so generously

| Mr.. Pou then spoke in general
way of the financial question and the
political situation as it concerned the
people of North Carolina, and said that
after all the only hope of the people
for more money was through the
Democratic party. He made a special
appeal to the colored voters present
and showed them that the Democrats
were their best friends. He spoke

read them all, but if anybody doubted
ii he would show lit to them.
At this point the organ on the out
side played a couple more stanzas-
a"Nearer Ny Go to Thee" To the
doleful strains of this sacred hymn
the Colonel read speech of ex-Sec-
rotary Smith before a gold club.
The soap man now changed his tune
to Hail Columbia" and Col. Bent
changed his TO denunciation of Bryan
and the men who were going to vote
for him. He said Bryan represented
Reputation and he didn't care if the
News and Observer printed what he
said about him.
Here the soap show broke up, and
the crowd came in to hear what they
considered the next best attraction OF
the night-Col. Bent's discussion OF the
silver question.
'I'll stop a minutes till you all get
in, he said, and he sat down.
His hearers evidently thought it
time for him to do so for they began
to call vociferously for the Rev. d. z.

had reckoned without their host, for
when the Rev. Meachan arose, Col.
Bent bounced up and told him to hold
on. ''You wait till ] get through. This
is my appointment"
The Colonel now denounced the
editor Of the News and Observer and
read an old letter he had written to
this paper setting forth his views on
the money question. This furnished
great amusement to the audience
while reading it he declared he was not
afraid Of anybody-the editor Of the

hotv he had suddenly changedo and
was now asking them for their votes.
He said he would not attempt to
answer the arguments of Col. Afford,
except that he would say that Mr.. Al
ford represented the only party under
the sun that openly professed to be
the advocate of gold and gold alone, 1t
is easy, he said, to criticise and tear
down, but hard to build up. The gold
men offered no substitute, MO remedy
for the troubles of this country, the
people of which are in poverty and the
government of which is bankrupt
Mr.. Pou showed why we should not
wait for England to give US permits
sion to coin silver. He said that some
nation must take the initiative why
not this country?
When he had finished Col. Afford
and Mr.. Meacham were called for, the
crowd yelling at the top of their
No:ces---about half for one and the other
half for the other. But Col. Bent knew
a thing or two and was not to be
downed. So he began speaking first,
saying that he wanted to reply to Mr..
Pou and then Meacham could speak
if he wanted to.
With this the crowd quoted down, but
il didn't stay quiet long. Col. Afford
took up a paper to "read a few lines, =
and this was too much for his audi
ence. They had had enough of that kind
of stuff for one night, and they begun
to yell for Meacham. But the Colonel
stood his ground and would never give
up until he had gotten that extract off
on them.
! When he had finished, Mr.. Meacham
took the floor, Mr. Afford yielding it
with reluctance. Meacham criticised
Afford for trying to choke him or
i after he had abused Pou for treating
him that way He said il he followed
Afford in his argument, he would have
a journey to which the wanderings of
the children of Israel would be child's

! statement that no country in the world
could maintain gold and silver at the
I ratio of 10 to /. "My answer to that
! is that this country now maintains it.

/ This was to much for Colonel Afford,

| laughter from the crowd, to reply to

most before he could make 1t.

utes turning through his papers and
pamphlets for his next point, while the
audience laughed, talked and cheered.
Finally he found his point, and it was
this: That the stamp of the govern
ment on a coin amounted to nothing,
that it was worth as much wlthous II
as with it. Gold was the money
we found here when we settled this
country (laughter), and we've been on
a gold basis ever since that time.
Here the soap man outside began to
play Rock of Ages" in its most doleful
strain, and the audience within cheer
ed. This seemed to arouse the speaker
to his best efforts. He launched out
into a history of silver coinage in this
country, biting off his words in most
spiteful way. He denounced the advo-
Gates of free silver, and said their
scheme would ruin the country. He
said he had been a Democrat all his
life. but whenever a party undertook
to palm off 50-cent dollar on him he
would no longer belong to it, This
statement was loudly cheered by the
Republicans and negroes.
The Colonel then turned his atten-
tion again to Mr.. Pou. his Democnatic
opponent, who was sitting in the aud
fence. lie told how the Demo-
Gratis had ''scrouged" him out of the
campaign Said just des ded to go

Mr.. Meacham finally shook the Col.
Off, ridiculing him for saying that the
worlds production Of gold last year
was SIS per capita for the worlds popu-
lation. When free from interruption
he made strong silver speech, clear
and convincing in argument and pre-
scented in plain and logical form. He

prediction that he would be elected
were loudly applauded.
When Mr.. Meacham took his seat
Mr.. Afford arose with a book in his
hand to take "a third bite at the cherry.
Nearly all the white men now went
