Goldsboro. y. C., Sept. 2e.-The
Republicans Of Wayne County met
la this city today and nominated =
full County ticket under mere favor
able auspices than they have for
years. The convention was more
numerously attended than any CT
that party ever held In the County.
The personnel OF the ticket IL all
that the party could wish. There
was not single negro In the con-
vention and the deliberations OF the
meeting were harmonious.
The feature of the convention was
the address of the Hon. Marion Bat
Ter, who spoke for two and one-hali
b ours on the leading issues OF the
day i'm both State and nation. He
was introduced by +. w. Hill. Sen
ator Butler had not made q speech
in Goldsboro for twelve years and
his return was greeted with much
enthusiasm. At times he was not
able TO proceed on account of the ap'
plause which greeted every climax
in his eloquent effort.
The seating capacity Of the court
house could not accommodate the
crowd and the aisles were crowded
to standing room. He spoke in part
as follows:
The Senator began by saying that
he was glad to have an opportunity
to address the people of Wayne
County and OF Goldsboro. He said
that Goldsboro was one of the best
towns in the State in every respect
and that he could say this of his own
knowledge, for he had once lived in
the town.
HARD TIMES THEN-GooD TIMBs
NOW.
But he said that there was q won
derful difference between the finan-
cial conditions of the people here a:
we'll as all over the country, State
and county. Then-only twelve
years ago and now. He drew I
striking picture of the depression
hard times then as contrasted with
the present prosperity. Let us lool
for the cause Of the hard times, then
and the good times now. The PEG
pie worked as hard then and harder
than they do now. The Lord blessed
US with as much sunshine and rain
and mother earth yielded mp her in
crease In response to the labors o.
man, but the times were out Of join
and no one prospered but the money
lender and the gambler-those wht
prey upon the misfortunes Of man
He said that no intelligent person
could truthfully deny that Demo
cratic policies tended to produce thu
hard times then, and that Republi
can policies tended to produce pros
perity now.
DEMOCRATIC PROMISES BROKEN.
He referred to the campaign o.
1892, when he canvassed the State
with Gov. Aycock and Gov. Glenn
He said that they promised the PEG
pie larger circulation Of money i
Cleveland was elected. They de
nounced the Republican tariff as {
robber which was making the peo-
pie poor. They promised to curl
the trusts and to remove the Gauss
that produced them. They prom
Used to build the Isthmian Canal
and they made many other promises
which they promised would greatly
rebound to the welfare and happi-
ness of the people. They fooled TIT
people to putting them into power
What did they do? They raised
Cain. They broke every promise
They contracted the currency an(
tempered with the protection o
American industries and labor, anG
produced the worst panic followed
by the hardest times that the people
Of this generation have ever known
THE DISEASE OF THE DEMoCRATI,
PARTY.
The speaker then went On to dis
sect the Democratic party and show
what was the matter with it. HI
said that if the principles of Thoma'
Jefferson, if honestly and intelli-
gently put into practice, would give
''equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none," and that this would
guarantee to every individual ar
equal opportunity in this world t.
work out his salvation and enjoy
the fruits of his own labor. But he
said the leaders of the Democratic
party did not live up to the princi-
Piles of Jefferson, and had perverted
them. That whenever any one pro
posed that the strong arm of the
government should be exeyted tt
protect the individual and give him
an equal opportunity that these few
Democratic leaders would cry out
''No, that is patsrnalism that the
best government is that that gov
erns the least" etc. He said thai
this false doctrine left the strong and
