ception of writing some letters, to the
general campaign, and not to my indi-
vidual success. 1t is not necessary for
me here to define my position on the
economic questions now before the peo-
pie, but l will, on the stump or other
wise, cheerfully and honestly answer any
questions touching my views on public
affairs. Suffice it to say, I will always
uphold pure Democracy with it's great
underlying principle of equal justice to
ALL special privileges to none," 1.-The
greatest good to the greatest number, 1"
or, perhaps, as more truly defined by the
noble Stephens in his speech ION the
future of the South" 1.-The greatest good
to all without detriment or injury to
any,"
j am also asked by many how I think
the election of United States Senator
should be made, whether by the conven
ton, by the General Assembly, or voted
for in a primary of the people. While
perfectly willing and satisfied to leave
the matter to the convention, or eXecu-
tive committee, of our party, l prefer a
primary for in, this way the people
choose the Senator, and the Senator feels,
if possible a more direct responsibility
to them.
Both our National and State Conven-
tions have declared for the election of
Senators by popular vote, and a primary
is now the nearest thing possible thereto.
Our last convention ordered a primary,
thus voicing the peoples wishes and CIV
ing every Democratic voter a voice in the
selection of the candidate.
AS to when the primary should be held,
care not. If at the general election, l
will make my campaign for the whole
ticket. If before or after the election l
am willing to adopt the course of having
nothing to say, or to follow the South
Carolina method, and go around the
State so that every one can hear our
views on all the issues.
Answering the argument that a pri-
mary produces bad feeling, l can only
state, l will win this fight with clean
hands or not at all. Il would say nothing
against my opponents if l could" 81
could say nothing if l would" They are
gentlemen, good Democrats, my friends,
this covers all. Slanderous charges
against any candidate only help him;
any truthful reports affecting him should
be known before his election. 1 there
fore hope my opponents who are my
friends will join me in asking for a pri
mary to be conducted fairly and free
from recrimination. If elected, trusting
to Divine guidance, l will serve my peo-
pie zealously and honestly; if defeated,
will not sulk, but as in the past twenty
four years. so in the future, will continue
increasingly to fight for true Democratic
principles. which our beloved Vance pro-
nounced Immortal"

ONLY ONE VOTE AGAINST IT.

The winter trip made by Governor Ay-
cock and the late General Toon into
Beaufort and Hyde counties has borne
fruit in the establishment of two graded
schools. Some weeks ago We noted that
the growing young town of Bellhaven,
Beaufort county, had voted a special
tax. News now comes that Swan Quar-
ter, the county seat of Hyde, has voted
a special school tax, only one vote be-
ing cast in opposition.
