was presided over by James ID.

made by Hon. James +. Ellegood, of
Salisbury, the Democratic candidate
for Congress. Mr. Ellegood said, among
other things, that the Republican party,
| if not ignore, the constitutional limlta-
| tions upon the powers of the general
Government, its whole tendency being
| to build up stroug central government
mighty word power. rich and mighty
nation, regardless of how the power
and riches are acquired. The ruling
principles are prosperity and protection
protection for the rich manufacturers,
and thereby more prosperity for him.
But the great masses of the people
what of them? They may receive some
of the droppings of prosperity-some of
the crumbs that fall from the tables of
the masters of protection-these captains
of industry. The logical and inevitable
tendency of this concentrated rower.
whether it be wealth in the hands of a
few individuals or concentrated power
in the Government, is despotism in
some shape or other This brings us to
the paramount local issue in the cam
paign-honest manhood suffrage. Shall
we have an honest or corrupt election
Shall the rich and corrupt be allowed to
continue their corrupt practices Of infiu
encing our elections by the use of money.
thereby destroying the fundamental
doctrines of equality of the people and
the free and unpurchasable consent of
the governed?
Mr.. Ellegood dwelt at length upon
the growing evil of corrupt methods in
elections. and appealed to all lovers of
good government to aid i'll suppressing
the use of money i'll elections. Mr..
Ellegood's speech was well received and
frequently applauded.
