Independent Democrats Jollify.

On Monday night the Hons. G.. F,
Kelly and I. S. Hogan addressed a
large audience at Neihart, defining
the political position Of the independ-
ent democracy, and the full %justif
cation of it's course. Mr.. Ledbetter
chaired the meeting in an able man
ner. On the platform with him, be-
sides the speakers sat Hon. T. e.
Collins, Peter Rush, @. F. Stork,
Geo Merkle, Dan Tracy and d. J.
Condor.
Mr.. Kelly was first introduced,
and began by presenting the demo-
cratic stock arguments on imperial
ism and trusts, although he mani
tests decidedly better ability in this
line than the other Jim GRO demo-
cratic orators who have bound Mel
hart with their spell. He said Nc.
Kinley is an imperialist for three
reasons; "because God is in it,
money is in it, and thirdly, we are
in it." He thinks Dewey should
have let the Philippines loot the city
of Manila, rather than to have estab-
lisned a dead line. (Applause) He
discussed silver, too, but failed to
state why this subject is not men
toned outside of Neihart. He said
they are having good times in Eur
ope, and asked what hat had % do
with Mckinley .(Applause) He then
said there is no prosperity in America
today, except with the barrel de-
mocracy. He said MI. Clark is a
dead rank gold bug, and that

applause and cheers.) He dwelt
at length upon the prostitution of
democracy at Helena, in order to
point with pride at Clark's record in
the United States senate, and the
collar and elbow degree which he
received thereat. The fusion ticket
represents nothing, is nothing. He
said Mr.. Hogan is true blue, and
that Doodle is the prinbiple which
kept him off the fusion ticket. (cheers)

Kelly is correct on this Montana de-
mocracy, and its murky, polluted
course, and the cheering was fire.

Speaking of trusts, the Judge showed
himself master of the subject. He re.
viewed their history from 1883, from

down to the colossal combination,
which today stif1e industry and impose

cans of the house voted for it. All the
democrats but six voted against it.
Thus the democratic party, while damn
ing the republicans for defending trusts,
record their own vote against the only
measure of relief possible to be taken.
All the laws favorable to labor have
been passed by the republican party,
This party always fulflls its pledges.
The democratic party is noted for du-
plicity and bad faith, and the ONLY
pledges it ever carried out were the
passage of free trade measures, and re-
pealing the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law. He closed his remarks
by referring to the era of corruption ia
Montana democracy, the bride takers OF
the last legislature, and the proposed
measures of vindication.
He declared that the eight-hour plank
in the republican platform e what
it says; but democracy is a party OF
broken pledges and Janus-faced hypoc-
risy, and its promises are full of verbos-
ity, imitation and thin air.
The speech held the audience in
wrapt attention, and every argument
went home with precision. Cheer fol
lowed upon cheer as the flashes of elo-
quence succeeded each other, and cv-
erybody present felt that The sturdy log
ician and eloquent advocate was telling
the truth. There was neither waste of
words, o adornmcnt of risible tales in
the course of the address, but the argu-
ments pierced sharper than a two-edged
sword, and their stern logic will give the
people much to think of for man DAYS
to come.

cation.
On Wednesday night the people
of Neihart were treated to a dis
course on political issues by the best
orator in Cascade county. Judge
ID. }. Tallant 0 n that evening was in
troduced for tho first time to a Nei-
hart audience, and we'll was the au-
dience pleased at the opportunity to
hear him. The Judge is a clear
%reasoner, f~oreeful in delivery, carry
ing firm conviction with his utter
ances. He impresses everyone with
the fact of his profound sincerity
and answering faith and honesty in
the principles he breaches. There
is no nincing of terms o COM
pounding of fallacies; his talk is all
straight and to the point.
A. good audience greeted the
speaker. He was introduced by
Chairman Bulge, and as he came
forward he was roundly applauded.
He began by pointing to Jefferson
as not the forefather of democracy,
but rather of republicanism. While
Jefferson's party was republican in
aame, it represented everything
in imperialism which that party
represents today. And on pro-
lection, the immortal patriot
was as much republican as any
of the latter day defenders of that
doctrine. Then the same may be
said of Jackson. The second father
OF democracy was not a democrat on
the Kansas city platform, and would
have been ashamed to see the social
istic yagaries of the latter day bour-
bons. There was nothing of the So
cialist in Jackson. He was imperi-
alist, protectionist, militarist, and in
his day was styled a czar.
He showed that in every demo
cratic administration from VanBuren
down the country has gone busted.
In 1887, 1847, and 1857 the terrors
of the panic succeeded in ever in
creasing severity. Then 1893 capp-

School districts that incur indebt-
edness for purposes other than the
construction of school houses act in
violation Of the law. That is the
opinion of State Supt, Carleton, who
was asked by the county superin-
tendent of Carbon county whether a
school district can, under certain
circumstances, authorize an addit-
ional bond issue. The school in
question was bonded three years o
and now has a current debt of 800
for teachers salary and is in a pre-
dicament as to what to do to raise
money. Another bond issue is sup-
gested, but Mr.. Carleton quotes the
statute which prohibits school trus-
tees from running in debt. Since
the special school tax law was de-
clared imperative by the supreme
court, district indebtedness can be
incurred for one purpose only, and
that is the "%bullding and furnishing
n or more school houses in said
district and purchasing lands neces-
sary for the same"

Sanford, n. c., July 21.-Bob Glenn
delighted a large and appreciative au-
dience here this afternoon. DR.. Fox Per-
son and eX-Congressman Fowler were
accorded a division of time, and were
given a patient and respectful hearing.
On the other hand Mr.. Glenn's speech
was cut in half by an interruption on part
of a Republican-the same man who in
terrupted Glenn here in 1892, and for
few moments it looked as though there
might be trouble. An old man accused
Glenn of deliberate falsehood in connec-
ton with letter from Cleveland during
the campaign when Glenn was elector at
large. Glenn did not notice the first
two Interruptions, but the man was so
persistent that he turned to him and
said, that any man who made the state
ment was an infamous liar. At this
iuncture son of the cid man came upon
the rostrum, it is thought, with the in
tention of taking his father off, but when
Glenn made the statement as given above
the young man said: 'Well, / can say it
too" whereupon Mr.. Glenn advanced
and placing his hand on the woung mans
shoulder drew back to strike with his
right hand but was restrained by his
friends. a travelling man from Stokes
county wedged himself between the two
men, remarking to Glenn to stand back,
that he would do his fighting for him.
Everything quoted down and both Mr..
Fowler and DR.. Person expressed regret
that such a scene had been precipitated
by one of their crowds. After the inter-
rupticn Mr.. Glenn spoke for few min
utes and brought forth the most roof
lifting applause. Fowler spoke first, and
made a very gentlemanly speech-a great
contrast to the speech of DR.. Person,
and our people are to be commended for
their long suffering in giving attention
to the harrangue of the latter. After
Person had taken his seat Bob Glenn
made the most masterful speech I have
had the good fortune to listen to during
this campaign. He held the attention of
the large crowd and received the most
vociferious applause. Some of the admis-
sions of MIR. Fowler when cornered by
him, lead some to suppose that the ma
from Sampson is on 1.-The mourner's
bench" The only applause that Person
received was when he made the statement
that he would not say a word aga nst
Charlie Aycock if he could, and couldn't
if he would
The work here today has been fruitful
of much good, and several Republicans
who have been on the fence come out
for the amendment. Since the above
was written, it is stated on the street
by indisputable authority that the in
terruption was a premeditated thing,
and that the other man had been heard
to remark that he intended to cut Glenn
out of some of his time. AS it resulted,
Glenn lost forty-:ive minutes.

The following letter written by But
Ter shows his present policy:
My Dear Slr:
AS you know, we have two full State
tickets in the field, while in every county
in the State we have a cooperative
ticket for the Legislature and county Of
ficers. The outlook now is the most
encouraging that we will carry a good
majority of the counties, and have a good
working majority in the Legislature
The registration up to date has been
considerably in our favor, in spite of all
the tricks resorted to and all the objec-
tions placed in the way of our voters
registering. With proper work and or
ganization from now On, we are there
fore sure of polling majority of the
votes.
Now the question is, shall we try to
elect State ticket, or shall we simply
throw away the State ticket? We have
a majority of the votes. We can elect the
State ticket, but if we divide these votes
between two State tickets, then of course
both tickets will be defeated and the
Democratic State ticket from Governor
down will be elected.
What is your advice about this mat
ter? l want you to give me your advice
with one point in view, namely: Will
running both State tickets through to
the election, and voting for both, thus
sacrificing the State ticket, make it
surer for you to elect your member of
the Legislature in your county? If so,
we had better sacrifice the State ticket,
because WE MUST HAVE THE LEGIS-
LATURE OR POLITICAL LIBERTY IS
DEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA. BUT
IF YOU THINK 1T WILL HELP YOUR
LEGISLATIVE TICKET IN YOUR COUN-
TY TO FIX UP A COOPERATIVE STATE
TICKET, WITH REPRESENTATIVES,
OF BOTH PARTIES ON 1T, OR IF YOU
THINK 1T WILL EVEN NOT HURT THE
PROSPECT OF YOUR LEGISLATIVE
TICKET TO DO THIS, THEN OF COURSE
THE WISE AND PROPER THING TO DO
IS TO FIX UP HIS COOPERATIVE
STATE TICKET AT ONCE AND HAVE
THE TICKETS PRINTED.
l am sending this letter to every one
of our county chairmen and to every one
of our township chairmen, and to every
candidate for the legislative and county
offices whose names have been sent to
us.
We will have a conference of the two
State committees within a week to con-
slider this matter and let me hear from
you as soon as possible.
Yours truly,

Chairman.
