BAYARD's ELOQUENT DEFENSE OF
HIMSELF.

During all the silly nonsense, not to
say partisan rot, that has filed the
air because Ambassador Bayard told a
great truth in a great way, that gentle
man has not said a word. He has
maintained a dignifed silence, befit-
ting his position and his high eharac-
ter. As long as the buncombe resolu-
tons of censure were pending i'm the
House, it was wise that he should say
nothing either by direction or indi-
rection; but since that decoration
of honor has been bestowed upon him
by mad and silly Congress, the wis
dom of silence no longer weighs.
Mr.. Bayard's defense was well timed
and well chosen. At q banquet of the
London Pension Society, Mr.. Bayard
responded to the toast ''Kith and Kin
Beyond the Sea-" in the course of
which he made his defense in the fol-
lowing noble utterance:
''Your kindred beyond the seas
are not always unanimous. Never
theless, there is one voice that APP
peals to them ALL Since ] came
to England / have never found oc-
casion to change my tone. There
is nothing / would say at home
that / would not say here, and
there is nothing / would say here
that / would not say at home.
do not expect unanimity. | would
almost say God forbid.
''But do not expect us to speak in
a tone to Suit everybody, for in the
system of government originated
here and carried beyond the At
Iantic. there is something that en-
ables man to speak according to
his own conscience. There, indeed,
is the strength of this country,
and the strength of my own.
When the time shall come that a
man shall not dare to speak the
thoughts that swell within him for
the public good, God help the
country"
sTennyson said, Whether bound
by friends or foes, man may speak
the thing he WILL and / believe
the echo of these words is as
strong in the country of my birth
and where my best hopes lie as in
yours. Here lies that which shall
keep both countries moving on
ward in the cause of civilization.
We will never suppress the truth
for fear of evil consequences, but
will tell it whether we live or
whether we have to die"

4 well informed gentleman says
that there is now little doubt about the
latter company getting it. Many pre-
dict that this would benefit Winston
Salem, especially if the present plans
are carried out. The Southern would
then run the trains between Green's
borO and Mt. Airy via the TWin-City,
cutting off that part of the Cape Fear
road between Stokesdale and Rural
Hall.
There is another point worth CON
sidering if the Southern gets the road
soon to be sold. This would cut the
Norfolk d Western off from all connec-
tions South, hence there would be
strong inducement for it to extend the
Roanoke a. Southern from here on

For the benefit of those ardent new
converts to the cause Of sound
money" whose new found zeal blinds
their vision to the extent that they are
forever echoing Sherman's statement,
"free silver is dead, " we quote the fol-
lowing statement made by Mr. Hamlin,
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
in New York on Tuesday:
'sThe silver craze is, if anything,
more rampant to-day than it ever
was. Indeed, it seems to have as
many lives as a cat Instead of dy-
ing out, it seems to be on the in
crease. Tt is even making inroads
in the Feast"
Mr. IFamlin is from Boston, and has
always been a gold man, and is ardent
in his advocacy of the single gold
standard. He sees the strength of the
silver movement, and proposes to com
bat it. In the same interview he said;
Eve are going to open a big
bureau i'm Washington at the corr
ner of Fourteenth and g streets,
ana make II the ueddq uaILeES IOI
the distribution of sound money
literature all over the country. We
shall circulate Secretary Carlisle's
Memphis speeches and other mat
ter of the kind. We propose to
force the fighting all along the
line, you see"
That is, the bureau is to be opened
right opposite the Treasury where
1--WE" can manage it, and send out Car
isles Memphis speeches." That's all
right, provided Mr.. Hamlin will quit
talking about "pernicions activity"
and such like while he and his asso-
ciates are engaged in an effort to con-
troll the convention for Mr.. Carlisle.
We honor a man who tries to advance
his principles, and Mr.. Hamlin's frank
ness is refreshing even if we cannot
approve his "pernicious activity"
