WHITE MAN AND METAL
4 GREAT DAY FOR THE DEMO
CRACY OF RICHMOND COUNTY
WHITE MEN OF ALL POLITICAL FAITHS
ioin in the Commencement of a Campaigr
that is to Enthrone the White Man
and the White Metal.

Laurinburg, n c., May 12.-(Special.)
To-day has been n great day for the
Democracy in old Richmond. In the
work preparatory to the grand Demo
cratic rally no stone had been left un
turned to meet the success which to-
day crowned our efforts. Although the
crowd large as it was, did not quite
come up to our expectations, yet it was
not lacking in enthusiasm and in it could
be seen white men of every political
shade Of belief, men in hearty sympathy
with the doctrines that were being enun-
ciated by the two leaders of the Demo
cracy in North Carolina.
Early in the morning the country peo-
pie from miles in every direction began
coming in and the 8 o'clock train UNI
loaded a large contingent from Rocking
ham and upper Richmond. AT IL

o'clock the parade marched around the
square in the following order:
First the band wagon followed by bl-
cycle parade, then came the mounted
horsemen under management of Chief
Marshal r. c. McEachin, and last but
not least in company with Walter IL.
Neal, and the orators of the day.
Upon arrival at the stand which had
been tastely decorated by our ladies, Nj
Neal in a few well chosen words, intro
dnced the first speaker, Hon Locke Craig
Of Asheville. To appreciate Mr.. Craig
one must hear him.
His speech from beginning to finish
was masterpiece Of oratory. He was
introduced as the silver tongued orator
of the West and he richly deserves the
title. Most powerfully did he expose the
treachery and misrule of Republicanism
in both State and nation.
Perhaps his strongest point was his APP
peal mot to desert the battle-scarred
ship of the Democracy. Go to Hamp-
ton Roads after the war is over and the
ships are coming in. You see one tat
tered and torn. Before condemning her
ascertain what she has been through.
When you find that she has been through

many storms and tempests and has been
the target for the enemies on the high
seas, she viii then command your conf
dence and admiration.
1.-THE grand old Democratic ship has
been exposed to ruin by her PREACHER
Gus leader. Her great captain, Grover
Cleveland, backed up by the money
sharks Of Wall street, deliberately steer
cd her upon the quicksands and the
rocks; and when we could stand it no
longer we tossed him overheard. In
1900 we place in the great
pilot house of the nation. the author of
that famous sentence, You shall nor
press upon the brow of labor this crown
of thorns.'

This gentleman is power ION the

He confined himself principally to Re
publican misrule in North Carolina. He
emphasized the necessity of unifying the
white forces before we can hope for the
restoration of white supremacy in North
Carolina.
His invitation to white men to return
to the fold was most impressive. 1t is
the privilege to return as co-worker
with us. The Southern States seeded
from the Union and remained ont during
four long years of bloody battle. When
we returned we returned as co-equal
