Last Thursday Vas Poputist day ai
wadesboso. The courthouse bell rang
at IL IS. and Ia fifteen minutes eyery
seat in thv court house had been Oiled,
and still they came. until all the sta nd
ing room In front Of the bar Was filled
with On earnest aud interested audi.
ence who had come 10 hear the speech
Of Senator Marion Butler. lie began
speaking at Il o'clock and spoke for
two hours.
The local politicians of the @. o. T..
had evidently been asking the senator
what he Was there for. and what object
he had in view. lie MAS introduced
BY DR.. A. A. Maynard. Mr.. Butler
began by saying:
"You may Ask Why came To speak
to you At this time. I have been hard
at work for two long years. You may
want To know why l did not rest. I
should have been g;Ad TO have rested,
come, now, and I have come because
think you would rather have issues
discussed now dispassionately than
when in an excited campaiga. The
machine politician wants things to be
quiet till the election time 10 close
and then depend on ShoopinR 'em
up with noise, torch-Iight process
sions and whiskey."
He then referred to the last Legisia
ture. He showed how the monopoly
Democrats and Republicans, together
with few ~black sheep' from the
Peoples Party, had acted together and
| voted as the corporations wanted them
to vote, thus defeating great many
measures that would have greatly ben
fitted and protected the wealth pro-
duce,s of the State. I'VE got Q feW
black sheep in the Peoples Party )" said
the Senator, but every one OF them
who has been unfaithful 10 bis trust
has been expelled from the Peoples
Party and branded a. traitor to the
party. The men who sold out 10 the
gold trust under Cleveland have no,
been repudiated, but many OF thsu
stand high in the councils of the party
and have been promoted to official po
sitiOu."
"When the Democrats nominated
Bryan thought saw hope Of returI
to the original Democracy Of Jefferson
and Jackson. have not the pre- judic,
in me that would not want the Demo
cratic party to get back to the princi
pies Of Jefferson" Mr.. Butler her
referred to the manner in which Nj
Bryan's nomination Was received b.
many of the old line Cleveland Demo
Gratis of the South.
When Mr.. Bryan was nominate
; the machine Democrats (goldbogs Il
!. disguise) were a. sick as IL they ha
taken epicac. These men would ge
behind the door and curse Bryan az
free silver and then get ont before tn
rank and file and swear they liked II

W. j. Bryan shall not be the pomiue
Of the Democratic party any more an
