The Field Meet at DEBORAH Wednes

Union who scored 40 points: Cresco

the patronage accorded, the prepara-

sense OF honor conferred upon me. To be
Tor the second highest office in the service
OF the republic would be a distinction to any
citizen.
1.-TWO circumstances, however, add en-
phasis to this consideration in the present
instance: First, that the nomination was
unsolicited by me; and, secondly, that the
convention, as in the case also of its nom
inee for the president, went out of it's own
Pc teal organization to select candidate.
10 my mind this action of the Sioux Falls
convention, in nominating for president Il
representative of the democratic party,
the silver republican party, is one of the
most encouraging and inspiring spectacles
in recent politics. Its unseltishness and
magnanimity. its testimony to the prece-
dence of the cause of the people over any
merely partisan advantage. raised the pro-
cedure of that convention into the Serene
upper air of true civic heroism. From such
spirit as this what service, what sacri-
tice can be asked in the name of the re-

When these threats had proved inef-

rants against these offi ,ers from few
subservient partisan United Stat S
commissioners. The first writ was is
sued against two registrars IN the city
Of Winston Salem. This was the first
big break made by our enemies in the
campaign. BY reason Of the place Sc
lected for these arrests We were given
an opportunity Of demonstrating 20
the State the wisdom of our election
law which had been fercely attacked
because it VS. known that in the citv
o. Winston Salem, under fusion ad-

thousand negroes who lived elsewhert

the facts.

facts throughout the State SO thorough
