ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH

The Banquet Held at the National Capital. Over
400 Democrats We're Present--Mr. Bryan
Speaks on Cuba Prominent North
Carolinians Present.

Washington, ID. c.. April 13.--The
155th anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson was celebrated here tonight by
Il dinner given at the National Rifles
!Armory under the auspices of the Nat
ional Association of Democratic Clubs.
About 400 representative Democrats
from all sections of the country were
present, including many Senators and
Representatives. The guest of honor
was Hon. w. J. Bryan, of Nebraska.
Mr. Bryan who responded TO the toast OF
enthusiastic cheers, and throughout his
speech there were many demonstrations.
In the course of his remarks he spoke
feelingly of the Cuban situation, de
claring that if the United States as
sumed the responsibility of deciding that
the cruelties and barbarities of the war
fare ON that island should cease no ma
ton in Europe could protest without de
Tending the things which we condemned
He said that any one had right to pre-
in his own yard and that we, who live
side by side with those who suffer- could
not refuse IN the name of humanity to
insist that those who had manfully re-
sisted the tyranny of Spain had earned
their right to self-government.
In addition to our right to stop the
war on humanitarian grounds he de-
clared that we had n right to insist that
any government ut our doors should
be of such character that one of our
ships would not be blown up while an

the Democratic party also upon the fact
that recent events had vindicated it
from a charge perisistently brought i'll
the North that it was not a patriotic
party. He paid a glowing tribute t.
General Fitzhugh Lee. which set his
hearers wild with enthusiasm and in
concluding declared that the enemies OF
the Democratic party could no longer
revive the issues of the civil war, but
must meet the Democracy npon the is
sues which arose in time of peace.

BUTLER FOR DEMOCRATIC
FUSION.
Urges Populists to Send Fusion Dele

Urges Poplllists to Send Fusion Dele
gates to the Convention.
THE caucasian fhis week says: ia
large majority of the Populist State Elk
ecutiye committee favor cooperation of
all who are opposed to the gold standard
and the election of an anti-monopoly leg
islatllre.
Senator Butler adds that he thinks it
might have been best to have held the
convention on May 25th. IF the con
yention had been held on that date, he
adds, there cOould have been no misun-
derstanding among the people as to
who was sincere and who ins:ncere, and
as to who was responsible for a failur,
to cooperate, if there should be a fail
ure. But if all sides are sincere, the
date for holding the convention is all
right. But the fact that the Populist
convention meets one week ahead of
the Democratic convention makes it ne
cessary for the proposition TO cooperate
10 be so fair and just that no honest
man in any party can object to it. If
the masses of the Peoples party are
properly represented in the Peoples
party State convention, and il the
masses of the Democratic party are
properly represented in the Democratic
convention, there will be a fair and hon
orable cooperation that will not only
eqnitably arrange the places of trust be-
tween the parties, but will also make a
great triumph for the principles of good
government. For twenty years the State
Legislatures of North Carolina have
been dominated to greater or less ex~
tent by corporations and monopolies. If
corporation attorneys and the agents OF
monopoly. and men who would barter the
welfare OF the State for an office, con
troll the conventions. then there viii be
no cooperation, and the monopolist will
win. To-day the people have the de-
termination of these matters in their
own hands. If the people fail to go to
the primaries and elect their best and
truest men delegates, then they can
rest assured that the agents of monopoly
will take charge of the primaries and
Will control the convention against the
interests of the people. Let every man
who loves his State attend his primary
and see that the people are properly
and honestly represented at the State
conventions, and then all will be well.
