LAFAYETTE.

Tie following poem, written by Mr..
Frank Putnam, of Chicago. was read at
the unwilling of the Lafayette monu-
ment at Paris, France, on July A.
To France as to the sister of her soul
Columbia sends this wreath of immortelle,
Green for the grave of her immortal son:
Columbia rears this love-engirdled shaft,
The tribute of her children, and a prayer
That never in all the changing after
Shall night o'ertake the game of Lafay-
cite.
Our fathers fathers knew him face to
face; ''a
They grasped his hand in gladness when
he came
They heard him wise at council in the
hall;
They saw him like a lion in the field:
light heart that was stranger to despair
brave heart that in triumph or defeat
Was steadfast to it's purpose as the stars.
He did not ask for honors or for gold;
He volunteered to follow. not to lead
But chivalry was conscious of it's kind.
So our great Captain took him to his
arms,
And Love has twined the chaplet for his
brow.
Where history, cowled and solemn, pens
his tale,
Beneath the lire that sets his titles forth,
Be this the legend writ across the page:
When freedoms feet were wary in the
wildS
He thrust his sword between her and her
foes.
".
Republic to Republic! Yonder sea,
That bore your standards to us in our
need,
Shall rise mist. and wander amid the
worlds
Ere ever the debt we owe you be forgot
Ere ever the debt Mon owes you be repaid
YEA on this day to Freedom consecrate,
We pledge anew beside the hero's bier
Unfaltering faith to that Eternal Truth
In whose behalf he made our cause his
own,
Beneath whose banner he led our ragged
hosts
With Washington from darkness to the
day.
Come Britain. elder brother of our blood
Prophetic Slav and German patriot, come
Italia, Hellas, peaks in Times long
range:
Swiss from the heights where Freedoms
holy fires. M Mk17HH
Through centuries of oppression on the
plain,
Blazed beacon-like above a struggling
world:
Come. brown men from the emancipated
isles,
Our knsmen and co-partners that shall be
Lovers of men in all the wide earth's
lands,
Columbia bids you kneel with her this day,
And now, above the dust of Lafayette,
In his white name beseech Almighty God
To quicken in us the spirit that was his
The son of France and brother of all
mankind.

FREEDOM UP-TO.DATE.

We are going forth to conquer the lands
beyond the wave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
And We'll catch the little brown man and
hold him as a slave,
Shout the battle cry of freedom.
Expansion forever, hurrah, boys, hur-
rah.
Down with the republic and up with
the czar
And we'll rally round the flag boys, well
rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
Though they earned their independence,
We'll make the Cubans wait,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
And we'll tax the Porto Ricans and make
EN- pay the freight,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

We have chased them from their firesides

Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

It's George the Third of England we're

We'll rally once again,

ALEXANDER DEMOCRATS ALIVE.
And They Will Carry Their County at the Au-
gust Election.

Especial to The News and Observer)
Taylorsville, ~ c., July 4.--The Republi-
cans and Populists held a mass convention
here Monday and put out their county and
legislative ticket. Congressman Linney
Senator Marion Butler and candidate E.
Spencer Blackburn made speeches. The
Populists of this Senatorial district nam
ed J. A. Mcintosh, of Lincoln county. can
didate with Thos. j. Dula, of Wilkes for
the Senate. The county ticket nominal
ed. while divided between the two par
ties and composed of active young men,
cannot defeat the Democratic ticket in
Alexander county.
The county election board met last Fri
day, June Goth and appointed election
judges and prescribed the tickets for
the county.
Alexander Democrats are at work. Clubs
are being formed in every township.
The attendance here at speaking yes
terday was not any larger than that to
hear Hon. c. B. Aycock at his recent ap-
pontment here though Butler telegraph
ed the Winston Republican and Cauca-
sian that it was five times as large. When
he hears from the election returns next
month he will learn that his and Spencer
Blackburn's false statements and charges
did not have the affect he thought they
would and that the majority that he was
looking for had gone against instead Of
for his fusion ticket.

AYCOCK AT MONROE.

Especial to The News and Observer
Monroe, n. c., July 4.-To1ay Union
county has had the greatest political rally
in its history. Preparations were being
made all day yesterday. The town is de-
corated, hundred of flags were waving in
the air. The Matthews brass band fur
nished good music. The grand parade
took place at II o'clock the old Confed-
crate soldiers occupied the front ranks. A
striking feature of the day was the
meeting of Capt. Cureton, of South Caro-
lima, ar1 Col. Lane. of Wilkes county,
who went to the war from this county and
who had not seen each other since 1854
at the battle of the Wilderness. 1t brought
tears tc the eyes of many of their COM
rades and friends. Speaking took place
on the court house square. People COM
menced "piking' into town early this
morning, some in wagons and buggies,
some walking, and many on horse back. All
places of business were closed Many
people came into town yesterday, a day
in advance. 1t is the "whitest'' crowd
that ever assembled in Monroe for politi-
cal speaking9 MIR. Aycock came in on
the early train. He is the guest of JAS
G. Coyington, who happily introduced the
speaker today in only six words.

THE CANVASS IN CRAVEN
Splendid Work Being Done in the Campaign
by Mr.. Mclean.
Especial to The News and observer.)

(Special to The News and Observer
Newbern. NJ c., July 4.-The canvass
for White Supr emacy is progressing finely
in Craven. LEGAL speakers address the
people in all parts of the county every
Saturday. and occasionally we have with
us distinguished speakers from abroad.
Last night, July End, Hon. Dan Hugh Nc
Lean spoke, with most excellent effect to
a large audience at the court house. While
the whole speech was of very high or
der, he pressed two points with eloquence
and power. The first was the fact that
the negro never had the right to vote.
The Candy constitution was never adopted
by the covereign people of North Caro-
lima, but was forced upon them by FEEDER
al bayonets and was ratified by slaves
while the white men of the State were
DISTINGUISHED. Now there was given to- the
white man an opportunity to redeem the
State by adopting the amendment. Vote
for the amendment and you enfranchise
the white man and disfranchise the ig
norant negro. Vote against the amend
ment and you endorse the Candy consti-
tuition and all the crimes and outrages
that followed in it's wake. The other
point was the truth that if we fail to
adopt the amendment North Carolina be-
comes negro territory. The only place IN
all the world where the negro is supreme.
These points, and others, were enforced
with unusual power and eloquence.
Mr.. Mclean completely won the hearts
of our people. His canvass is an able
one, and he will do good wherever he
goes
