DEMOCRACY'S STANDARD BEAR
ERS.
Turner and Grimes Speak to an En-
fhusiastic and Appreciasive Audience
in Henderson FRIDAY.

Hon. W. D. Turner, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and Col. j.
Bryan Grimes, candidate for Secretary
of State, on the Democratic ticket,
filled their appointment 20 speak here
Friday afternoon.
Cooper Opera House was kindly
rendered for the purpose by Manager
Brooks Parham.-and the speaking was
there instead of at the court house.
The audience was not as large as we
had hoped to see but it was 4 very
busy time with the farmers and few
people were in from the country.
But in point OF enthusiasm and APP
probation nothing was lacking. Sew
cral ladies were present.
Col. Grimes was the first speaker
He was introduced by Mr.. I. NJ. Pitt
man in a brief but becoming style.
Mr.. Pittman alluded in touching man
ner to Col. Grimes father. the brave
and gallant Gen. Bryan Grimes, and
of his distinguished services to his
State and country in war and peace.
But it was not because of the honored
name he bore that he asked that Col.
Grimes be heard, but because Of his
own personal worth and character.
And as the worthy son of a noble sire
and for the sake of the cause he rep
resented he knew the audience would
hear him gladly.
Col: Grimes spoke about So minutes.
He made a good speech, clear, en-
phatic, logical. and scored many
strong points. The frequent and
hearty applause given him showed
the approval and appreciation Of the
audience.
Mr.. Turner was introduced by Capt.
w. b. Shaw. AS our people know
there is no more eloquent and ornate
| speaker than Capt. Shaw, :; fact which
he gave fresh evidence OF on this oc,
casion. His remarks were necessarily
| brief but his speech was a gem of its
kind and set the gauge for the gentle
man who was to follow him.
Mr. Turner showed himself to be g
speaker OF the highest order of ability
He is powerful in argument, sounc
in logic. convincing in reasoning
| ldlH, iiIcCt, Sli al Sulioi waive, lio"'h
ing the gospel of Democracy an(
White Supremacy without fear OF
favor he is at the same free from
abuse depending rather upon facts
and reason to sustain his position.
Mr.. Turner spoke little over ONT
hour and his speech was admitted.
one of the best that has ever beer
heard here. 1t was Il great effort. il
fact, and placed Mr.. Turner upon ;
pinnacle second only to that Of thu
matchess Aycock himself as an able
eloquent. effective campaign speaker
There was about it ruggedness o
style and vigorousness OF nature
coupled with a polish of manner an!
finish CT detail. characterized by fcv
speeches delivered on the hustings
1t was vote winner and the regre
is that it cannot be made in ever

peculiar way in Havana. They object
to be called anything bat Cuban
citizens" the terms ''colored,"
.'black." negro" or 'mulatto" as
used in contradistinction from the
the white race being offensive to
their highly sensitive natures. A large
number Of them have petitioned the
authorities to prohibit the applica-

prohibit the use Of same in newspaper

that the newspapers be prohibited

Is speech at the Montgomery con-

ran, of New York, advocated the re-
peal Of the 18TH amendment as the
solution Of the race question. AS
the negro population at the North be-
comes larger and he is better known
and his character better understood,
the conviction that it was mistake
to give him the unqualified right Of
suffrage seizes stronger hold upon the
people up that way AS the Lynch
burg Neos puts it:
Intelligent Southern men, and
Northern men as well, know that the
participation of the negro in politics
has been curse to both races and a
blessing to neither.

cupations, it would bring expenditure
without return, and risk without re.
ward.
Touching the religious argument, Mr.,
Bryan disagreed with the Minister who
recently said that we ought TO "thrash
the natives (Filipinos) until they under
stood who we are" and "every bullet
sent, every cannon shot and every flag
waved means righteousness, and added
The command go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature" has no Gatling-gun attach
ment. When Jesus visited village Of
Ssmaria and the people refused to re-
ceive him, some of the disciples suggest
ed that fire should be called down from
heaven to avenge the insult but the
Master rebuked them and said: aye
know not what manner Of spirit we are
Of for the son Of Man is not come to
destroy mems lives, but to save them:"
Suppose he had said: ave will thrash
them until they understand who we
are," how different would have been the
history Of Christianity. Compare, il
you will, the staggering, bullying,
brutal doctrine Of imperialism, with
the golden rule and the commandment,
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy.
SELF"
Love, not force, was the weapon Of the
Nazarene; sacrifice for others, not the
exploitation of them, was his method of
reaching the human heart. A missionary
recently told me that the Stars aud
Stripes once saved his life because his
assailant recognized our flag as flag
that had no blood upon it. Let It be
known that our missionaries are seeking
souls instead Of sovereignty; let il be
known that instead of being the advance
guard Of conquering armies, they are GO
ing forth to help and to uplift, having
their loins girt about with truth, and
their leet shod with the preparation of
the gospel OF peace, wearing the breast
plate OF righteousness and carrying the
sword of the spirit; let it be known that
they are the citizens Of nation which
respects the rights Of the citizens Of other
nations as carefully as il protects the
rights OF its own citizens and the wei.
come given to our missionaries will be
more cordial than the welcome extended
to the missionaries Of any other nation.
Mr.. Bryan made clean.cut and
unequivocal declaration of his policy,
and closed with an eloqent and patriotic
forecast OF the destiny Of this republic.

ATTEMPTED ARSON.
SOME MIscREANT TRIES TO BURN FRANK
sTARRS RESIDENCE.
Gees L. Meals House ID North Salem Goes up ID
Smoke In Absence OF Family.

An attempt was made at an early
hour this morning to burn the residence
of Mr.. Frank Starr at No. 224 Front
street.
Mr.. and Mrs, Starr retired at the us.
ual hour and finding the evening TO be
warm the window was raised about two
feet at the bottom in their sleeping ap.
partment. Lace curtains hung at the
window and il is supposed that these
were set on fire from the outside by
some fire fiend and in moment the
flames had reached the ceiling
Mrs. Starr was awakened by an unusual
noise and soon discovered that the house
was on fire and awakened Mr.. Starr.
He Immediately tore down the curtains
from the window and by the assistance
Of others succeeded in quenching the
flames. Mr.. Starr was badly burned
about the hand.
The FIRE was within three feet of their
bed when the discovery was made and
from the looks OF things some one was
trying to destroy the family as we'll as
the house. Mr.. Starr can not account
for the dastardly act, as he says he
knows OF no one who would wish to do
them harm. Matches were found on
the ground near the window but no 9th.

Dwelling House Burned.

erty street just north of North Mill
Greek burned to the ground between /
and o'clock this morning. None of
the contents we're saved.
The family are absent from the city
taking an outing on the Santiam, and
the house was unoccupied. When the
fire was discovered by neighbors about
1880 the house was all blaze. An alarm
was sent in and the fire department re-
sponded promptly. Nothing could be
done for the house but the boys succeeded
by hard work in saving the blacksmith
shop and butcher chop which stand
C ose by.
Mr.. Neal was in the city yesterday
but is said to have left about the middle
OF the afternoon.
The value OF the house is estimated
in the neighborhood Of $500, exclusive
of the contencs. Both were insured in
the Firemans Fund OF San Francisco,
through the John G. Wright agency,
there being $500 ON the house and 500
on the contents.
