every reason to believe there is

Although the arrival Of j..

coded him and he was accorded
a good audience by the people Of

ing was in no sense a frost the
atmospheric condition of the hall
was so near one that even Rede's
in!mitable rhetoric land fund Of
applicable stories caused some
to leave the hall during the ad-

/. Mr.. Bede spoke briefly and to
the point upon the issues before
the people, devoting a major por
ton of his time to Charles A.
Towne and his free silver ideas,
and took special delight in prob
ing for the short ribs of the ex
congressman, metaphorically
speaking, and touched with ten
der and becoming grace upon
she "dead issues" advocated by
that gentleman, as also upon his
connections with oetestable cor
porations..
Mr.. Bed, as former demo
crat, spent some time in discuss
ing the old democratic issues-a
tariff for revenue, a gold stand
ard, an expansion of American
markets and a united north and
south, and alleged that by rea
son of the fact that the republi

old line democrats and had
brought the country to that con-
dition desired by them. that at
present there was naught left
for the democrat to do but come

republican elephant and ride on

He pointed to the rapid ad

since the commission of the

upon the prosperous condition of

wages could now be paid being

the injustice to believe that he
refrained from doing so out of a
spirit of maevolence and a dis
position to do all the harm with

they admit the president has
permitted Senator Hanna, or
some other trusted agent, to- go
out and advance the price of
wheat or raise wages in the coal
mines. or something of that sort,
just as a within, but not out of a
disposition to do the right thing
by the people The democrats
who thus confidingIy look to the
president for all the good things
they expect to come their way,
and who cheerfully gather at the
corner grocery on Saturday eve
nings to bestoW upon him, in
generous measure, the impreca-
tons of a disappointed aud down
hearted constituency because it

gradually beingnforced to admit
that if prosperity is not restored
it is no fault of Mckinley, and if
they are not at work it is no fault
of those who employ labor.
One of the "help wanted ads
in yesterdays Dispatch called
for thirty plasterers to go to a
western city. the wages offered
being 81 a day, with free trans
portation both ways. We cannot
admit that this is zone of those
jobs put up by Mark Hanna to
fool the people," for the evil
dence is at hand that it is a bust
ness proposition, en- the square.
There has been a general ad
vance in wages mall departments
within the past six months, and
a very pronounced increase in
the demand for labor at the in
creased wages.
When one pins a democrat
down with one of these incon-
testible cases the explanation is
generally forthcoming that it is
''just a little spurt;;" that the adj
vance in wages is lowing to the
number Of men that have been
withdrawn from the ranks Of la
Dor by the war;" and that we will
''soon be worse off than ever" It
is always sue! a sweet consola-
tion to a democrat to think that
things are growing worse, than
that, whatever comes, he nay
make the proud boast that he had
seen better days. ss
It seems cruel to tear from the
democrat his only consolation
and deprive him of the heaven
born privilege Of being miserable

WHAT SOLDIERS SAY.
There is no Doubt About DR.. Stockard' :
Neglect and Incompetency.

The only apology the News and Oh
server ever felt like making to the Sec
ond regiment with reference to the ex-
posture of DR.. Stockard was that
the exposure was not made
sooner. He was VIGOROUSLY unfit
and inexcusably negligent. The soldiers
know this better than any other people.
The following letter in the Burlington
News voices their feeling:
Dear Sir: So often am / accosted
and questioned as to the correctness and
| justice of a recent News and Observer
article and other similar reports relative
| to DR.. J. Is. Stockard's neglect of duty

ment. North Carolina volunteers, | ask

NEGRO WOMEN LEFT.
Young Dockcry's Obscenity Such That
They Wouldn't Hear Ii.

1t is perhaps putting it too mild to
say that Young Office Hunter Dockery,
.Jr.. is making the lowest campaign that
any Republican candidate has ever made
in North Carolina. In Goldsboro his
speech was SO vulgar and indecent as to
disgust the negroes who heard him.
Recently the young office-hunter went
to Ellington to speak. At that place
when the Democratic candidates speak,
the ladies turn out to grace the
occasion with their presence. When
Dockery went to Ellington, the negro
women turned out to hear him, and
his jokes were so vulgar and low thar
they left the hall where he was speaking
They couldn't stand him.
At another point in Harnett where he
spoke, glass of water was provided
for the speaker. His negro hearers on
the front bench. thinking like Congress
man White that there ought 10 be no dis
tinction between the races, helped tE2m-
selves to the water that young Dockery
had on the stand He did not make
any comment, for if he thought they
"hadnt oughter," Dockery didn't dare to
rebuke them.
This is the sort of man who asks the
voters to make him solicitor of the
Fourth district. They will not do it.
He will get no Populist votes, except
the office-seeking crowd, and few other
votes except from negroes.

The Christian Advocate this week has
Il long article from the pen Of Rev. L.
w. Crawford, ID. d., the senior editor
Of the Christian Advocate. reviewing
what he calls the unfortunate contro-
yersy over matters relating to Trinity

we are impressed that unless the
trustees inaugurate a movement very
soon looking to relieving the college from
connection with the American Tobacco
Company. and let Old Trinity share
more largely the benefits Of the endow-
ment fund. and change the spirit and
policy that have dominated it for the
past two years, our preachers will be
slow to pledge themselves to its con
tnucd support. Many believe that its
past policy has injured our church be
fore the public put us in a false attitude
to the State and her schools. and sown
the seeds of discord among us that will
disturb the peace of the church for
years to come"

BIG DAY IN HARNETT.
Picnic and Speaking at Cokesbury by
Mclean. Pou and Daniels.

Picnic and Speaking at Cokesbury by
Mclean. Pou and Daniels.
Thursday was one of the red letter
days in the history of Cokesbury, Har
nett county. The people were there, not
only from that township but from al
over the county and a good sprinkline
from Wake and Chatham. The fine ole
grove, in which is the village church
and school house. made an ideal place
for a big Democratic rally, which was
held under the auspices of the White
Government Union, of which Mr.. Geo. E.
Prince. eX-Clerk of the Court, is the lead
ing spirit.
The voters were there In great num-
bers. with their wives, their sisters, and
their daughters,-as intelligent and good
looking an audience as has gathered in
North Carolina during the campaign. 1t
was basket picnic affair, and after
everybody had partaken of an elegant
dinner spread on tables and on buggies
and on benches, there was enough to feed
six hundred more people. The crowd
numbered six or seven hundred and EN-.
braced the flower of that section.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Daniel
Hugh Mclean. ,Josephus Daniels and
James II. Pou. They preached pure
Democracy and appealed TO the white
people to unite Mr. Mclean is making
Il great campaign as candidate for the
Legislature and his opening speech
bristled with strong points and bril-
liant epigrams. Mr.. Pou made the
closing speech 1t was n speech of
great wisdom and power-a vote winner.
Calm, deliberate. and impressive it was
an appeal to the reason and conscience
of the manhood of the State that has
not been surpassed, if equaIled, by any
speaker i'll this campaign. This is high
commentator. but it is deserved.
The Populists in Harnett are outraged
at the betrayal of their principles by their
machine, are outspoken against it, and
will this year vote with the only party
that has 1.-THE White Man and the White
Metal as its stibboleth. One Wake
county Populist, who was present, said
after the speaking: If all the Demo
cratic speeches were as conservative and
as free from abuse as those delivered to-
day, the Populist would all be glad to
vote with the Democratic party.
