TRUSTS ARE UNsCRUPOL0Us.

The spirit that has created and the
methods that are employed to keep the
trusts in control of the machinery of the
Republican party are as sOulless and I'M
despotic form of government the world
has known. 1t is the same thing mani
Testing in more civilized age and on a
different plane; but, still the same spirit
that has in all governments resulted in
the overthrow of all nations and civiliza-
tions. They pursue their object of greed
and avarice under various DISCUSSES with
infinite art and endless activity. They
have moved under the cloak of religion
and called themselves holy. They have
clamored for so-called social order, and
leagued many of the quiet and peaceful
under their banner. They have strenu-
ousIy defended whatever existed, in the
form of special privileges, and arrogated
to themselves the epithet of conserva-
tive: while aristocratc traitor and mush-
room rich civilians have sheltered them
selves beneath their aegis. They have
called self-defense an assault and pun
ished it by the contiscation of many
peoples freedom. Has any kinSly crest
or coat-of-arms sullied its professions
with deeds more terrible than these of
the trusts?

FACE TO FACE.

Yesterday in three different sections of
the State sterling North Carolinians adj
dressed the people on the issues of the
present campaign in behalf of the Dem.
ocratic party.
This was but the prelude to the many
speeches which will be delivered today.
In every part of the State the able men
who have fought and who are fighting
the battles of Democracy, will meet the
people face to face and will speak to
them of the great progress in North
Carolina, made under Democratic ad-
ministration, which has been clean, hon
est and capable.
They will speak to the people from
the records, but they will find a citizen
ship already enlightened and in posses
management of the affairs of the State.
These have seen how from the chaos of
a Fusion administration the men whom
the votes of the best people of North
Carolina put into office have brought
about order and decency, and have made
it possible for a North Carolinian to
visit other portions of the Union with
out being compelled to hang his head in
shame because of the scandals which
were rampant in the State, scandals for
which the Fusion administration was di-
srectly responsible, scandals in which
some of its officers participated
But these are known of all who will
know, and it is a brighter picture which
will be painted today. A State rehabi-
tated and in it's right mind will be told
of, the ever increasing material growth,
the incoming of new enterprises, the
restoration of a firm credit, all these
coming because the country at large
knew that honest men, loving their State
and alive to its every interest, were in
the saddle. e
The gentlemen who speak today can
we'll be eloquent, for they have the
material for eloquence, the people who
listen may well do so with pleasure and
pride for it is they who have made
this thing possible.

The unhappy victim of disease and suf-

him quoted as saying that he is still
with the party of the people.-Greens-

The Greensboro Telegram has the fol-
lowing: The News and Observer says
that despite the frantic talk of the col
ored delegates over being ruled out of
the convention they will all march up to
the polls in November and vote the
straight Republican ticket as usual.
Most of them will without a doubt. Mr..
Pritchard will arrange to ring them in
in some way.
Speaking of the situation in Rowan
and Iredell, the Davidson Dispatch says
that a conservative estimate gives the
entire Democratic ticket, judge, solicitor
and all about two thousand majority in
Rowan county and about twelve hundred
and fifty in Iredell. The Republican
party will in all probability suffer it's
greatest defeat in this State in the ap-
preaching election.
