A PROMPT REFUSAL.
To the Citizens of Raleigh:

To the Citizens of Raleigh:
When a committee consisting of some
of the largest and strongest fire insur-
ance companies belonging to the South
eastern Tariff Association called on the
Raleigh agents of the Greensboro Fire
Insurance Companies, and demanded
that an advance of twenty-five per cont.
be charged on rates of fire insurance or
else companies belonging to the South
eastern Tariff Association would with
draw their agencies from the Raleigh
agents of the Greensboro companies, a
prompt and flat refusal to advance the
fire insurance rates was made by the
Raleigh agents. Representing the
Greensboro Fire Insurance Companies l
am still surviving and writing fire in

TIRED OF THE JUDASES.

A Haywood county Republican, writ
ing in the Courier, says:
81 do not believe in giving preference
to the Judases who have sold themselves
for office over the honest, faithful work
ers who have stood upon principle and
worked for what they believed to be
right
that the policy of buying up votes with
big offices is a gross injustice to the
Republicans who have borne the heat
and burden of the day.

The Swain Claim.

To the Editor: Noting your editorial
| in which you copy an editorial from the
Freeport H., Journal, in regard to the
claim of the heirs of Governor Swain
against the University, I beg to advise
that the owners of this claim, the two
granddaughters of Governor Swain, both
live in the South. one in Pitt county,
N. c., and the other, Mrs. N. It, Cobb,
has until the first of the present year,
been resident of North Carolina for
eleven years.
am not aware that General Atkins
has any personal interest in the matter
and your reference to it as his claim
is ill-advised.
This claim was presented to the Legis-
lature two sessions by Messrs. Battle &
Mordecai, of Raleigh, and one session
lin 1880. the bill was again introduced
and passed all except the third reading
in the Senate. During the last session
the bill was again introduced but died
in the committee room. So you see the
General Assembly has had this claim
brought to it's attention time and again.
You say, "How much of the proceeds
Governor SWANS executors received, we
do not know" Judge Walter Clark and
Hon. Richard II. Battle, of Raleigh, had
the settlement of the Swain estate and
the first application for the payment of
the claim was drawn in Mr.. Battles Of
flee.
1 merely make this statement of facts,
all of which can be verified, as there
seems to be a covert threat, in the last
paragraph of your editorial. | ask you
to publish this in the spirit of fairness
Yours truly,

Governor Cummins Heartily
Received at Bloomfield.
MAKES RINGING ADDRESS
Declares Policy of Republican Party Is
Protection to American Labor and
ndustry-Advises Hearers to Re-
turn Representative.

Bloomfield, Nov g. (Special)-
Declaring unequivocally in favor of
the principle of republican protection
for the American workingman, Ameri-
can industry, Governor A. B. Cummins
Saturday afternoon addressed one of
the largest audiences that ever gath
cred in this city to hear political
discussion. During the forenoon Gov.
ernor Cummins greeted the business
men. AT 1870 o'clock in the afternoon
he was introduced to the audience at
the court Louse by Ellsworth Romin-
ger, chairman of the congressional
committee. Governor Cummins in his
address gave the democrats little con
ISOLATION. He declared that the repub
lican party was the champion of the
protective tariff principle. That with
this policy he is in most hearty sym
pathy. He further declared that the
Iowa republican platform of the pres
ent year stood beyond question for
protection to American labor Ameri.
can manufacturers, American agricul.
ture, and that it has not made and will
not make any compromises with the
democratic party; that as changes in
laws became necessary to meet the
new conditions as the American peo-
pie advanced so there would occa-
sionally arise necessity for change
in some of the tariff scedules to meet
new conditions.
Governor Cummins stated that while
the democratic party had in its ranks
good business men, men of intelligence
it had invaribly failed, when intrusted
with the administration of the affairs
of the government, to do anything for
the people. He was at loss to de-
termine why the democratic party
composed as it was of many intelligent
men, yet had persisted in following in
the rear of the best thought of the
country on national policies at least
100 years.
In closing the governor paid beau
tiful tribute to the stalwart sons OF
the nation, who in the years from 1861
to 1865, SO nobly defended their coun
try. He said in part: have seen the
different insignia worn by the Ger
mans, French, English and other ma
tions, but the bronze button worn by
the veterans of the sixties represents
the combined love and affection of the
patriotism of the American men, the
defenders and preservers of the union
Governor Cummins predicted that
the sixth district would give great
majority for Major Lacey contrasted
the service that could be rendered by
the major in the house of representa-
tives with what could be expected OF
his opponent He strongly advised
his hearers to return to congress one
of the ablest men in the Iowa delega
ton. The meeting closed with an ova
ton rarely given political speaker
after ne had held his audience spell
bound for more than an hour and 6
half.
