on speaking terms. But this week Senator

Senator, we haven't been friends for some
time. but permit me to say that | read your
speech Of Friday night at the Amen Corner
dinner in New York and its closing para
graph touched me deeply. It's sentiments
expressed my feelings exactly, and |, like
YOU. am an old man. Senator, let us be
friends again. And Senator Hoar held out
his hand. which Mr.. Plat grasped with
great Cordiality. Senator Plat was de-
lighted with the Inner in his honor. He
was surprised at the breadth and depth OF
the demonstration II has made him feel
almost young again. But as much as all
else he is %gratifed that it has been the
means Of restoring rood feeling between
himself and 'the old man eloquent of the
senate. The paragraph in Mr.. Platt's speech
to which Senator Hoar referred was as fol
lows. "In this room is gathered a worthy
representation of the genius that has made

Sir Theodore Martin has written a very
interesting biographical sketch Of Mr.. Glad
stone, in which he relates a characteristic
story in connection with the original home
rule bill Of 1886. Gladstone sent the queen
a copy of the measure which he proposed
to introduce, accompanied by an explana-
tory Letter of fourteen folio pages. The
queen could not understand either the bill
or the letter, so she sent both documents
to Sir Theodore Martin, with a request
that he would explain them. Sir Theodore
could make nothing OF Mr.. Gladstone's
letter, but he sent the queen a precis of
the bill.

OIL AND WATER WILL NOT MIX.

The Wake County Independent move
ment was busted up" yesterday by the
men who brought it into being. There
were some excellent men and good DEM
ocrats in the movement who wished to
redress what they thought was a wrong
They saw yesterday that their protest
was being used by Radicals and Populists
to iniure the Democratic party They
then had the courage to do a brave thing,
to withdraw from the movement and
strangle it in it's birth. That action
showed that their Democracy was deeper
than their resentment at what they felt
was a just grievance. Their fellow Dem
ocrats in Wake rejoice in the fact that
the independent movement was thus given
its death blow. The place for Democrats
to right what they believe is wrong is
in the Democratic party.
The Radicals and Populists will, of
course, keep up the pretense of running
ticket, but when the Democrats withdrew
yesterday from the meeting, the move
ment was left without leadership and
will from now on be nothing but Re-
pop-li-can affair.
Wake will give the biggest Democratic
majority in it's history in the November
election. All together. Democrats.

THE HILL MANIFESTO.

The chill Democratic Committee" has
issued its address against Judge Clark.
1t will not change a vote. The charges
made by the railroad lawyers against
Judge Clark have been passed upon the
people and they have rendered verdict.
He will be elected by about the same
proportionate majority by which he was
nominated.
The committee. composed of at least
four out of five men who voted the Re-
publican ticket in 1900 and prior thereto,
seem to put most weight upon the fact
that in 1894 the Republicans and Pop
ulists voted for Judge Clark. If he could
change his politics as readily as most
members of the committee, he would be
the very man they would support Every
body knows that the so-called Hill Dem
ocratic organization and the Radical
Executive Committee are practically
enc. and that Hills hackers secured his
endorsement at the hands of the Radical
convention, and that the men who are
leading the fight against Clark are also
fighting for Pritchard and against
Kitchin.

CORPORATIONS TAXED FAIRLY
AND WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION
Number Formed Under Democratic Rule 1903; I'M
der Republican Rule, 500 We Have Today One
of the Most Satisfactory Corporation
Codes in the Union.

The Unprecedented development OF
North Carolina in the past few years is
a source of great qualification to all citi-
zens of the State; in agriculture, in com
merce, in industries our growth has been
wonderful.
Our advancement industrially has been
especially marked and this has been en-
phasized by the rapid increase in indus
trial enterprises in the past few years.
A combination of capital with limited
individual liability seems now to be the
most satisfactory mode of commercial
and industrial progression.
North Carolina has always been, is
now, and will always be an agricultural
State, as four-fifths of her population
are directly dependent on agriculture for
a livelihood, but she is fast becoming also
one of the foremost manufacturing States
of the South. The agricultural interest
will always be the predominant one; the
agricultural voters will always be able to
control the policies and parties of this
State and present conditions in North
Carolina handsomely illustrate the fair
ness, high sense of justice and patriotism
of our people,.
It has been enormously stated and be-
lieved that as an agricultural people we
were hostile to combined capital engaged
in industry and commerce. This is unfair
to our State and people; and that such
feeling should have existed at all has its
foundation in the fact that certain cor
porations have evaded the payment of
their just proportion of the taxes neces-
sary for running the State government
and have been unmindful of the States
interest
1t cannot be denied that there is much
real and invisible property that has
escaped taxation. while real estate has

Court Judge, an dsixteen candidates for
Solicitor All these bear the imprimatur

the picture, with brief biographies of the
six distinguished Democrats who are in

1t is a great party that has such rep
resentatives. One of the strongest, if not
the winning issue, the Democrats have
always had in North Carolina is the high
character and standing of the men it
names for public office. There is a grow
ing sentiment and a proper sentiment,
that good government can only be admin
istcred by good men. There is no doubt
that one of the chief causes that con-
trihuted to Democratic success in 1898
was the high character of the Democratic
candidates nominated. The same in
nuence will contribute largely this year
to the Democratic victory in November.

DEBAsING THE JUDICIARY.

If you will chase down the fellows
who are going about trying to stir
up race prejudice, you will find
them sleeping with a negro wo-
man."
The man who uttered this vile
and vulgar SANDER, was a Radical
Superior Court Judge, appointed
by Russell. Two years after he
disgraced the judiciary by such a
low and contemplate charge, he
was the Republican nominee for
Governor. What does this show?
1t proves that the Radical who ut
ters the vilest SANDERS adds to his
popularity In the Radical party.
This same fellow Adams, who
never practiced law before Russell
made him Superior Court Judge,
has recently been appointed Chief
Justice of a new court established
in Indian Territory. Pritchard
had him appointed. He has never
had any practice worth much ex-
cept the practice drummed up for
him by revenue doodles, and all
told has not been at the bar more
than four years.
These are the sort of Federal ap-
pointments Pritchard is respon-
sible for. They are no better than
the gang that Russell put in Of
fee in North Carolina.

swINsoN's FATE.

C1audius Dockery, the new Re-
publican who has come to Raleigh
to lead the party, was a leader in
the Radical State Convention. He
didn't want any negro delegates.
He is the same Claudius Dockery
who as chairman of the Radical
steering committee in the Legis-
1ature of 1897, demanded that ne
groes be employed in the Engross-
ing Clerks Office. Swinson, the
Engrossing Clerk, refused saying:
1T cannot put negroes at work in
my office. Ladies are employed there
as copyists and I am unwilling to
put negroes at work there" When
he stuck to that Dockery and the
rest dismissed Swinson from Office
because he wouldn't put negroes
at work in the same Office with
ladies. It is these same fellows
now who say they cannot sit in a
Radical convention with negroes.
The people know that the Radi-
Gals who kicked out Swinson
would restore the same conditions
that existed in 1897 if they are
returned to power.
Remember Swinsons fate.

Der of local Elks this morning, Secre-

nothing in the initiatory service of
