4 ROYAL OCCASION !
ELOQUENT SPEECHES.
Enthusiastic Audience.
Bright Outlook.

Last Monday was royal day
for old Pasquotank County. The
lovers of the good, clean govern
ment and white mans suprem
acy, had their hearts thrilled by
earnest, eloquent speakers. a
great shout went up in the camp
that evidently BODIES no good to

ciple for office and who would
not scruple to betray home, fire.
side and loved ones to the van
dial horde that now disgrace our
dear old mother state.
Atlo o'clock a. III. our beau
tiful temple of justice was crows
ded to almost suffocation by
men who listened with marked
attention to Judge Hoke's plain,
concise, yet comprehensive and
masterful charge to the Grand
Jury. This charge SO happily
conceived was delivered in so
graceful, forcible and impress
sive manner that it charmed
all. The Petit jury was then
empannelled, and a few minor
details attended to, after which
Court adjourned for the day.
The building was then cosr>
teously rendered to the political
speakers.
At half past RI o'clock the
bell tapped and the spacious
Court room was again soon FILL
ed to its utmost capacity. Per>
sons crowded in, anxious to
hear the pending political issues
discussed. Men, who for years,
have been l;stless and indiffer
ent about such matters seemed
thoroughly aroused.
That polished aud elegant
gentleman and forcefu1 and or>
nate orator, Hon. F. A. Wood
ard was the first to address the
eager throng. No report can do
justice to this speech. 1t was a
terrible arraignment of the Re-
publican party-its venality,
corruption and per6dy. 1t was
pnnctuated by round after round
of applause. Frequently the
speaker would have to stop for
several minutes while the enthu-
siastic crowd gave emphatic ex
preston to their hearty appro
val of his manly and patriotic
utterances. 1t was a great
speech and will accomplish
much good.
He was followed by our young,
gifted, stalwart acknowledgement,
Hon. Jno. H. Small. The very
appearance of this champion of
the people captivates an assem-
bly, and gains him ready audi
ence. And when they have liss
tened to his clear, plain and
homely, yet strong, vigorous and
logical presentation of the truth
they ARE fully convinced that
there is not the least demagogry
about him. They see that his
only desire is to let the people
have the cold, stern facts and
then act upon the dictates of
their better judgement. His
merciless dissection of the po-
litical life of Harry Skinner
showed that gentleman to be
such a foul bundle of inconsis~
tencies that all honest men
should turn from him in utter
disgust. A chameleon politi-
clan, a notorious Straddler, a
sk;llful dodger, a reckless truce>
breaker, a black~hearted traitor,
a pretended lover of silver, but
in truth, an ardent worshipper
at the golden shrine of mono
metalism, Harry Skinner has
forfeited every claim to the con>
fdenee of the people. And all
honest populists and all silver
Republicans will spurn the CAM
didacy Of such a man forced
upon them by the gold-bug

Roasting a Prophet.

The Reverend Irl Il. Hicks is

he made an occupation of the silly
sport of making weather prcdic-
tions, but he actually expects the
public to take his weather guesses
seriously.
But descent is easy, 1t is not
surprising to find man who has
slid down the long incline from the
Bible to the almanac, from pulpit
ing to weather prophecy, trying to
reconcile declaration that lorna
does come in the day time with a
midnight storm and Il prediction of
a cold wave with an unusually warm
spell.

of Improbabillities in his despera-
ton, ''could not have predicted the
abnormal condition Of weather."

Will Give Them Another Round. q

The Republicans have been duly
notified that Bryan is not dead nor
is the silver issue a defunct corpus,
but that both will be livelier than
ever in 1900. Well it has fallen to
the lot Of the Republican party to
fight the country's enemies all the
years of its existence and its brave
and unterrified legions have come
out of every contest with the sun
shine of victory gloryfying its
banners. So, this challange to fight
over again the battle Of '96 strikes
no terrors to their hearts. They
will be ready and are ready now,
for the resumption Of hostilities.
The people will never favor rotten
money. They demand a dollar that
is worth one hundred cents. You

The Three Inf1niteSlmals.

Somewhere in Scripture-Zacha-

appointed "a day of small things"
'Tis we'll.
When tho catalogue of exhibits
is made up for that division of time
there will be found in the list the
entry of nothing smaller than in
Ohio's political exhibit, for the
season of '97-'9S, of that triumvi-
rate of arch traitors and contemp~
tiblc conspirators, Kurtz, Bushnell
and McKisson.
If it is in the power Of mans
mentality to conceive anything
smaller; if it is possible for human
imagination to picture anything
more insignificant, as measured by
the standard of popular regard and

been conceived of the brain, born
of the heart, nor christened of the
soul.

personal sins. Only the pure gold

The "Journar' is confessedly
strongly partisan in its political
policy, but it has ever tried to avoid
personal attack upon any candi-
date during the excitement of po-
litical campaign. There have been,
however, a few instances where
it has had to step aside from gener-
alities to personalities, but only
when the opposition forced such a
course, and we assumed the defens-
i've. The ''Journal'' is always the
champion of fair play in politics
and county candidates on the op-
position ticket need have no fear of
personal attack as long as
they keep the straight road. This
policy has won for us the good will
of the fair-minded element of the
local Democracy.
