HENDERSON AT LINCOLNrON.
The Able Speaker Discusses Fully The Issues
of The Campaign.

Especial to the News and Observer
Lincolnton, N. c., Sept. 2.-There was
a great gathering of the true and tried
Democracy of Lincolnton county here
today, when Hon. John S. Henderson,
of Salisbury, opened the campaign at
this place. The immense crowd was ap-
preciative and enthusiastic and was most
orderly and well behaved.
In his admirable speech Mr.. Hender-
son covered a wide scope, embracing in
his remarks the following subjects:
Cuban Reciprocity, the Philippine Prob
lem, Subsidies and Trusts and the
State Government. including the educa-
ton Of the children of the State, PEN
sions to Confederate soldiers and pro-
visions for the insane, and the deaf,
dumb and blind. He. attacked the recI
less, extravaganza of the Republican
Congress, and justified the expenditure
of $453, 900 by the Democratic State ad-
ministration for the education of the
masses and the pensioning of Confeder-
ate soldiers.
Appropriations for this cause, he
said, must not be reduced. but be con-
tinuer, and if possible increased with

here today when Congressman w. w.
Kitchin and Hon. T. b. Womack deliv-
cred the sound doctrine of Democracy to
a splendid gathering of the people.
CONGRESSMAN Kitchins speech was
masterly and convincing effort. He dis
cussed trusts. imperialism and "Inde-
pendents." he showed how the trusts
were throttling the people and fatten-
ing upon them and how they had grown
so poverfui as to dominate and rule the
Republican party, now in charge of ma
tional affairs. and he told how neces-
sary it was that the Democrats. opposed
to and fighting the trusts, should be
put in charge of the government. His
discussion of Republican imperialism
and all the disasters which were COM
ing in it's train was convincing, and
when he discussed the matter of In
dependents" he laid on with liberal hand
and showed how their course was dan
eserous to the best interests of the coun-
trv and demoralizing in all respects
John Atwater, who as an independent,
seeks Congressional halls from TINS DIS
trict, was in the audience, and ne got
the benefit of a full broadside from the
eloquent and forceful speaker.
Mr.. Kitchin was followed by Judge

clear presentation of the financial con-

Graham, n. c., Sept. 2.-Ex-Judge R.

adjournment of court. He reviewed ma

quarter of a century and denounced the

made it very clear to his audience that
the Democratic party had always been
the friend of the common people and pre-
dicted that it would yet live to bury
the Republican party as it had the Whig,
the Federalist and the Know-Nothing
parties.
He arraigned the Republican party for
not making concessions to the strug-
Cling Cubans, and said that we had left
them in as bad fix as they were under
