Mr. Gardner paid his respects to
his opponent in the senatorial
race, D. F. Morrow-who, six
weeks ago, was a Democrat. He
said I'D. F." stood for democratic
failure and not for something
else. The republican party has
sown and the democrats have
reaped. They sowed slavery and
we reaped the war. They sowed
the freedom Of the niger and we
reaped the carpet Dagger. They
sowed Daniel L. Russell ard we
reaped Marion Butler.
"Yon won't here JudSa Ewart
say a word about Marion Butler"
continued Mr.. Gardner, although
they say that Butler betrayed
Ewart. Judge Ewart knows in
his heart of hearts if this is SO, but
he will say nothing about it."
He was consecrated to the cause.

He had never taken a drink of
liquor in his life. He had heard,
local self government plank meant
himself, Tom Settle say that the
hquor-he had heard him sat it.
Settle was campaigning in the
wet counties and MeRorie i'm the
dry counties.
Referring to local self-govern-
ment, Mr.. Gardner said that
Ewart In 1895 had appointed 25
magistrates for Henderson county
and had helped to appoint 1000 In
the state, 300 of whom were ne
groes. He confessed that he did
not know what the republican To-
cal self-government plank meant.
He had heard Settle and had
heard McRorie and wanted to
know from Ewart just what it did
mean.
Butler, he said. a few years ago,
a penniless lawyer, now reputed
to be a millianaire,, who, not con-
tent with his betrayal of the dem
ocratic party, the populists, the
alliance, Senator Pritchard and
Judge Ewart. now seeks to be-
come the only thing he ever was
fitted for-the Boss of the Repub-
hcan party of North Carolina.
He lives in Washington, rich
and powerful. He has not a pa
triotic thought In his body. He
betrays everything he comes in
contact with and will yet betray
the Republican party.
He spoke of the fraudulent bond,
issue for which the state level re-
ceived a cent, saying they hover
ed over the people like a black
cloud with Butler leading them,
and back of Butler was the New
York bonding company endeavor-

remedy every political abuse, to
protect the weak against the
strong and will always stand for
the right against tha wrong.
+ The Democratic party will die
the lion eats grass like an
OK,
And the fish worm swallows the
whale.
When the terrapin knit wooden
sox,
And the hare is outrun by the
snail.
When serpents walk upright like
men,
And doodle bugs travel like frogs,
And grasshoppers feed upon bears,
And feathers are found upon hogs,
When tom cats swim,in the air,
And elephants roost upon trees,
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes gals
sneeze.
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on veloeipedes ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And girls in dress take no pride,
When Dutchmen no longer drink
beer,
And girls get to preaching on
time.
When the billygoats butts from the
rear,
And treason no longer is crime
When humming birds bray ike
IN ass,
And limburger cheese smells like
cologne,
When plowshares are made out
of glass,
