Similar Conflicts.

Representative Graft of Illinois took
pleasure in narrating the history of his
state, which was part of the history of
Lincoln and of the country. The speaker
narrated the events of great public mo-
ment between 1852 and 1865. and the part
played in those events by Lincoln and the
state of Illinois. Mr.. Graft said he con-
sidered the campaigns of 1860 and 1896
similar in many respects. In 1850 the fight
was for the perpetuity of the American
government. 1t was the same fight in 1896.
In each campaign the public conscience had
been appealed TO, and had proven right.
In neither campaign would the republican
party recognize that there were classes be-
tween which there was an irrepressible
conflict, as had been alleged in the last
campaign.

mate friend of the martyred President.

Representative Watson.

The tribute of Representative Watson to
Lincoln's memory was an eloquent one. He
reviewed the history of this wonderful and
great man, telling of the stuff of which he
was made. In closing his speech. and in
Touching upon the fact that Lincoln was a
man Of the people, and despised vulgar dis
play, Mr.. Watson said: IF his soul was
looking on this earth from the ramparts of
heaven, he would shudder al the expendi-
ture of 100000 for ball like that given in
New York. Mr.. Watson characterized
the Bradley Martin affair a shame and
disgrace He said that if this republic ever
shakes, it will be from the top crust and
not from the bottom. In considering the
ffe of Lincoln. Mr.. Watson did not attempt
to separate the history of the republican
party, which he said was synonymous. Mr.
Watson drew sketch of the two Sher-
mans and of Blaine, who once lived to-
gether in Ohio and knew each other as
young meE. These were among the great
products of the republican party after the
death of Lincoln

Mr.. Hull's Tribute.

Representative Hull of Iowa followed Mr..
Watson. An incident of Mr. Hulrs speech
which was warmly received was an attack
on the arbitration treaty between England
and this country. He asserted that if Lin
coin were alive he would oppose that
treaty, which Mr.. Hull did not think this
country needed Mr.. Hull spoke of the
fact that during the civil war Lincoln en-
gipeered the ship of state of this country
to prevent foreign complications. Mr.. Hull
spoke of the great names added to the his
tory Of the century about to end, and in
the foremost rank was that of Lincoln,
whose name was linked with Washington.
Washington he likened as the father of his
republic and Lincoln as its savior. He COM
pared the influences operating on the lives
Of each of these emen-WashingtonS birth
under affiuent circumstances and Lincoln's S
in poverty. Each had risen by the power
of their abilities. Referring again to the
Anglo-Aplerican treaty, Mr.. Hull said that
the United States did not need to put its
destines into the hands of another nation.
1t did not need King Oscar to decide upon
its actions and to say when 1t was right
or wrong. 1t had been able to always do
the right without interference, and it had
always been ole to defend the right and
punish the wrong.

Other Speakers.

Representative Gibson of Tennessee spoke
next. He touched upon the part played in
the history of this country by his state, and
especially by the men of the mountains of
Tennessee. Mr.. Gibson's tribute to Lin
coin was eloquent. He asserted that no
other man of the time could have dealt
with the slavery problem as successfully
as Lincoln, who was kind. but firm.
Representative Thad NJ. Mahon of Penn
sylvania was the last speaker. He dwelt
on the humorous side of Lincoln, and his
remarks were enthusiastically received
He told many stories of the Pennsylvania
campaign of the confederates.
Maj. Beebe's Campaign Club sang nu-
merous songs during the evening. They
were we'll rendered.
Before adjourning the club passed reso-
lutions in honor of Lewis Clephane who
was an active member of the club. He
was, say the resolutions, lone of the ear
liest and truest republicans connected with
the national organization of the republican
party; his devotions to its principals and
teachings never faltered. He stood up he

DEFAULTING AGENT.

Goldsboro special to News & Observ-
err: After the Republicans obtained
control of the A. and n. G.. Railroad
they made change in the agent of
the road at this place. Mr.. Charles G..
Smith had been the capable and accom-
modating agent for many years, and he
was made to walk the plank. In his
place was appointed Mr.. Z. H. l.. JET
freys, Populist who had preached
Populist doctrine, but voted for Nc
Kinley and Russell on election day.
Now Jeffreys is relieved of the posi-
ton by his Republican superior on the
ground that he is behind In his az
counts in the neighborhood of $500.
Jeffreys says that he is not behind In
his accounts, but that it is mistake in
the system of bookkeeping. On the
other hand, the Auditor OF the road
says that he owes that much mon
ey, and he is displaced. 1t is also said
that Jeffreys complains that all incom-
petent book-keeper was forced upon
him.
