shouted the speaker, lapsing temper
arily from grammatical accuracy in
his excitement. THE word has gone
down to the powers at Raleigh over

TO every Democratic paper Keep the
record quiet. Raise howl, and the
howl they decided to raise was this

have anything to do with him."
Whats that? Going to allow

Mr.. Batler declared that the re-
son of the Democrats for not allowir
anyone to meet him was that the
reasoned that if a joint discussiC
were held there would be 500 or 6(
Democrats out and they thought
better that he should talk undi
turbed to Republicans than to ha
the privilege of addressing Dem
crats
The Democrats, he charged, ha
pursued a policy of abuse and M
representation, and if 500 of t
sturdy yeomanry of the county,
scendants of those who issued t
first Declaration of independence
American soil, were to hear the fat
exposed, they'd leave the Democra
party for its lying to them and TO-

which this people has always tax
for equal rights before the law a
in government. These he declared
be the sentiments of the Republic
party. American citizenship is
thing more fundamental than be
a Democrat or a Republican. I
party is the mere instrument,
tool to be used in accomplishing
suits. Ones religion does one
good unless it makes him bet
citizen. 1t is ones Christian duty
