ASSURANCES HAVE BEEN GIVEN

Early in the year the impression
prevailed that in this campaign the
trusts would not line up solidly for
Roosevelt, and that the railroad trans
portation trust, headed by Pierpont
Morgan, would fight Roosevelt. This
paper then and at al times has said
that the Democrat who depended for
success upon the active or quiet help
of any monopolists was depending
upon Il broken reed There are men
in the Democratic party very close to
| certain trusts. there are few trust
magnates in the Democratic party
from convictions or sentiment inherit
ed from their fathers, but these two
classes amount to nothing compare
lively in national campaign.
The Democratic party is the sworn
enemy OF monopoly and special privi-
lege. The Democrat who would court
the support of monopolists either does
not understand the spirit of his party
or of the monopolists. The party is
instinctively opposed to these law-de-
flying organizations. They have no
politics. They sell their influence to
the party that will let them defy the
antitrust laws and give them the
most tariff rake-off and the largest
bounties. Those Democrats who have
expected some help from trusts have
had a rude awakening. When the
Northern Securities case was first en-
tered on the docket. by the official
direction of Roosevelt. the Morgans,
the Vanderbilts. the Cassatts and
other railroad manipulators were
Roosevelt and wished for the nominal
ton of Hanna by the Republicans.
The death of Hanna guaranteed
Roosevelt's nomination. and the trusts
had no alternative but to support him
or the Democratic candidate. They
have all lined up for Roosevelt. Why a.?
Let the answer be made by the New
York Times and the Brooklyn Eagle,
two great newspapers that supported
Mckinley in 1896 and 1900. Both
these papers have printed that the
trusts are contributing large sums to
the Republican campaign fund be-
cause they have received assurances
that make them satisfied with Roose-
Welt The Wall Street Journal ex-
pressed diSaDproval of the statements
of the Times and Eagle, whereupon
the Eagle makes the following reply:

serted that contributions to the Re-

president He is to-day our greatest
citizen-a scholar without the osten-
tation of learning; a diplomat who has
learned that politeness is better than
rudeneSS and that love wins more
victories than hate; statesman who
was able to wait without murmuring
for the calm JUDGMENT of the people
to displace the misconception of the
passionate moment-a gentleman al
ways and everywhere, who never
spoke words in public or private that
could offend the ear of refined Wo-
manhood or injure the delicate soul
of a child. He entered the Senate
soon after the war, and in A single
speech, which shall live as long as our
love for patriotism and virtue, made
good the defense of the South, laid
the foundation for reconciliation of
the sections and secured for himself
the respect of that great body. For
a long time after that he was silent
in the Senate, preferring deeds to
words. His service to his State and
the South was very great. Once more
the time came when North Carolina
found one man equal to her wishes.
Zebulon B. Vance lay dead-him
w
never can love another. The State
wished for some one to put into ade-
quate speech her love and sorrow for
the dead. Senator Ransom accomp-
lished this task in a eulogy of sur
passing beauty, such as the Senate
never listened to before and never Will
again. In war Senator Ransom was
worthy of the finest soldiery the world
has ever seen--in peace he has per-
fectly filled every trust committed to
him. He is our greatest statesman
our greatest dinlomatist. our greatest

GOVERNOR AYCOCk ON SENATOR
RANSOM.

There have been many fitting trib-
utes paid to the memory of Gen Matt

last week. One newspaper, referring

written about him since his death
has surpassed the tributes he reau
and heard while living. In july 1870
a great Farmers Convention was held
in Raleigh and Gen. Ransom, the lore
most cotton planter in the State was
invited to act as president of the con-
yention. He made an ELOQUENT al
dress. Governor Avcock also ad-
dressed the convention and gave Gen.

a business of attending Fairs. They
often pretend to run innocent games,
but are really slick thieves. Some of
this gentry reached Raleigh yesterday

THE STATES ANNUAL REUNION
IN RALEIGH.

For more than a quarter of a CEN
tury it has been the custom of the
people of North Carolina to make the
week of the State Fair at Raleigh the
States Annual Reunion week. There
are other great occasions that bring
the people together, but II will meet
you at the State Fair" has been the
customary expression from the organ
ization of the State Agricultural Asso-
citation.
All the indications point to record
breaking exhibit and a record-break-
ing crowd at the State Fair which will
be formally opened at Raleigh on
Tuesday of this week. The officers of
the association have been at work all
the year planning and securing attrac-
lions. and during the past month they
have given their every attention to the
work in hand. 1t was never better
Differed. President Ashley Horne is
well known as a man who has con-
tracted the habit of succeeding in
whatever he undertakes. While, Of
course, the bulk of the management
has devolved upon the progressive and
alert secretary Mr.. Joseph e. Pogue,
and his assistant and treasurer. Mr..
G. B. benson, the president has been
no figurehead. He has given largely
of his time and his own experience and
wise judgment, in cooperation with
the other officials, to the work of
making the State Fair of 1904 the
best in it's entire history. And that is
what it will be.
The official program of the State
Fair appears on the first page of to-
DAYS paper. 1t is attractive and in
teresting, and all who come will find
that the arrangement for entertain
ment of visitors and an elaborate dis
play of exhibits has not been sur
passed. or equalled, in any previous
year. The exhibits will embrace
many new and attractive displays
well worth coming to see.
The social feature of the week will
delight the young and old. The ac-
ceptance by Mr.. Joseph F. Tayloe,
County Treasurer of Beaufort county,
of the Chief Marshalship. was guar
antee Of a week of pleasure. Mr..
Tayloe is successful politician,
whether in the campaign in his home
county or as delegate to the National
Convention, a gentleman who is well
equipped for whatever he undertakes.
All things are ready for the State
Fair. The people have already begun
to reach Raleigh, hundreds having ar
rived on Friday and Saturday. The
railroads will run more trains on bet
ter schedules than in any previous

the fort was first located, occupied
continuously since 1923. 1t is of

General Brag and others. General
Taylor once lived here with his fam
