vOUCHED FOR BY MKINLEY.
Young Private who Went In With
out Examination or Question.
From the Topeka state journal.

From the Topeka State Journal.
Washington. July 9-Ralph Botkin, Son
of Congressman-at-Large J. D. Botkin, is
probably the only private soldier in the
United States volunteer service who is di-
rectly indebted to President Mckinley for
his enlistment.
When the first call was made for volun-
teers, Ralph, who is only 16 years of age
went to the recruiting office to enlist, but
was rejected on account of a slight physi-
cal defect. He grieved a great deal, es-
pecially when he saw the Kansas troops
of the command of Col. Lindsey en- route
to Camp Alger. He went up to the lower
house of Congress to ask his father as
special favor TO use his influence at the
war department in his behalf He was
the only son and Mrs Botkn, who was
ill., hated to see him go to war so young.
Mr.. Botkin, seeing that the boy was
very anxious to enlist, called a carriage
and both Of them rode direct to the White
House. Mr.. Botkin explained the stua-
ton to President Mckinley, who, after
questioning the young man closely, said
that he would suspend the regulation in
order to give such a brave young patriot
a chance to serve his country.
What do you want?" asked the Presi-
dent
II want to be private, with the other
Kansas boys" said young Botkin.
"You have mettle enough to be a gem
eral," said the President pleasantly.
Mr.. Mckinley called the war department
up by telephone, and, after getting the adj
jutant general of the army he said Cor
bin, have a young Jaykawker here that
wants to fight for his country; assign him
to Col. Lindsey's regiment, at Camp Al
ger without examination. I will vouch
for the fact that he is all right"
That very night Ralph Botkln walked
into Camp Alger, reported to Col. Lind
sey and was assigned TO a tent with an
other Kansas boy.
1t is probably the first time in the his
tory of the United States that the PresI-
dent has been called upon to appoint a man
TO the postion of private In the army

grand sea of faces, and well did this
honored and beloved son of North Caro-
lima present the cause of white supre
macy and good government 70 the people
of his native county. The sincerity ana
honesty of his speech as well as his elo-
uuencc made the heart of every hearer
swell in his bosom and feel sure that
the cause was grand, glorious and
patriotic one Hon. w. w. Kitchin made
the supreme plea of the campaign in
his appeal to the voters to do their duty
aS never since 1876 nave
they had as much reason
to put forth every effort for the success
of the intelligent people of the State.
His able and complete refutation Of
every slanderous charge made by his
opponents brought forth storms of ap-
plause. 1t was Kitchin's home speech.
and every shot struck the bulls eye and
rung the bell which sounded the knell
of Republican doom in Person.
Capt. Kitchin told of the deplorable
condition of Eastern Carolina under ne
gro rule. He told of the conspiracy
against him and others and of his vindi-
cation He implored the people of Cen
tral Carolina to come to the rescue of
their brothers in the East
1t was grand day for the Democrats.
The presence of many ladies lent in
spiration to the speakers. and the swell
ing strains of the "Old North State" at
the beginning tuned the patriotism of the
people and lent charm to the occasion.

from the speeches of the county candi-
dates, the prime feature of to-day's meet
ing was the speeches Of Mr.. II. A. III.
Cooley, the Democratic candidate for the
State Senate, and Mr.. Walter l.. Ca
hoon, of Elizabeth City. Mr.. Cooley
showed clearly and forcibly the demerits
of the Fusion Legislature, the absurdity
of the cry of disfranchisement of the
negro and poor white.
Mr.. Cahoon has spoken in every town
ship in Nash county except one, and to-
day was his last appeal here for his good,
yet negroized people of the East. He
assured us that if the white people re-
gardless of party did not get together
and relieve his people with their ballots
of negro rule the time was not far dis
tant when they must 60 TO their relief
with their guns. He made it so hot for
the Fusionists that he has been informed
that Griffin, the Fusionists' candidate
for Treasurer, has advised the negroes to
waylay him. Mr.. Cahoon can leave us
with a consciousness of duty done, and
will carry with him the highest esteem of
the people of Nash.

striking straight from the shoulder for

to where Mr.. Atwater stood on the burn

The county candidates We're present

Mr. Atwater was speaking the Hon.

When all the others had spoken Mr..
Pou was loudly called for. He took
the stand and for more than an hour
poured hot shot into the Fusionists 1t
was brilliant but pitiless exposure of
the meanness and rascality of the pres
ent administration. He paid his respects
TO Ollie Office Hunter DOckery in pass

from him, but that he proposed to take
Mr.. Atwater, 90 out to Kenly and ask
