Lockey, the republican candidate for Congress, visited our city last Wednesday, and according to appointment addressed the voters of this county in the Mint yard. There was a largo turnout of all classes of voters, expecting to hoar the Hon. J. C. Pritchard and Hon. C. P. Lockey. As it was understood there would be a joint discussion between Mr. Pritchard and Mr. 11. A. Gud gcr, who represents the democratic candidate. Mr. Pritchard agreed to wait till night to give Mr. Gudger time to reach the city. Mr. Lockey therefore spoke about two hours to the largest crowd assembled in this city since the night Judge I’owle spoke here. It is agreed by all that Mr. Lockey’s speech was the best that has been made in this campaign in this county. He is not a “college bred” man; neither is he ashamed *o tell of the way ho has worked himself up He is in the strictest sense a working man. He has worked himself up from a poor orphan newsboy, a sixty-ccut day rail road hand, a common barber, through the lower house then the senate and now an honored member of the bar of Wilmington. He is well posted on public affairs ; is a fluent and eloquent talker, and dealt the democratic party some heavy blows in showing up their fallacies and inconsistencies. ■ He dwelt at length upon the acts of the legislature, the odious county government system, the internal rev enue, the tariff, the President’s policy and things in general. No man ever left a better impressiou upon bis bear ers than did Mr. Lockey in this city. Wo assure him the Republican vote of Mecklenburg County Several democrats who heard him speak were heard to say, because he is a poor man, a laboring man, an intelligent man j and an honorable man, ho should have ! their votes. The poor men of the oth Congres sional district should for onco lay asido their prejudice and vote for this able, rising young man and let the aristocratic Rowland stay at homo and look after his money. PRITCHARD AND GUDGER. The joint discussion between Mr. Pritchard, republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, and Mr. H. A. Gudger, who represents the demo cratic candidate, was to havo been in the court house last Wednesday night. The crowd was so large they had to go totho square. Mr. Pritchard led in the discussion, making an able and forcible speech. He reviewed the issues of the day generally, and com pletely handicapped Mr. Gudger. He held the crowd of four or five hun dred for one hour in the rain, and was frequently interrupted by ap plause. Though young, he proved himself to be one of the ablest can vassers now on the stump. Tho repub licans of Mecklenburg now know who they will vote for to be tho Lieutcuant- Governor, instead of the chief of plaids trust. Mr. Gudger found a subject from a statement made by Mr. Pritchard in correcting a simple mistatement in an evening paper. He began, prated and dwelt on the color question. He made a strenuous and ineffectual ap peal to the colored voters. He asked would a colored man vote for a white republican who would not say he would vote for a colored man? This question is easily answered in tho affirmative. Why of couse we expect white republicans to vote for colored republicans when one is offered, but if they do not, do we better our selves by voting for a democrat who would not vote for a colored man, and who stands by the old party that fought every privilege we now enjoy? j Mr. Gudger’s remarks were ridicu-; lous and insulting to intelligent j colored men. His appeals availed nothiug. Colored men will vote the republican ticket without the advice of democrats. Brutal Policemen. We beg leave to call the attention of Major Win. Moore to several mem bers of the police force, who, on every presentable opportunity, illtrent poor and unfortunate colored criminals or those who are arrested for petty offen ses. There seems to be an entire new force since the appointment of Major Moore, of such men who are only fit to be over a drove of cattle instead of human beings. We take this occasion to inform Major Moore that these bru tal assaults on our colored citizens can not long exist The people will not tolerate it and if it is not stopped there is away to stop it. The condition of affairs in this town are similar to cer tain cities in the South, where the au thorities arc all democratic. It must be stopped, Major, or be re sponsible for the consequences of what may happen. The colored people are human and if you fail to protect them under the laws govern this country we shall appeal to “Ccasar”. You are in dnty bound as chief of police, to see that your officers commit no brutal of fense against any class of citizens.— The Bee. We did not, in our article, intimate that persons born outside of legitimate wedlock, before the war, when our people could do no better, were unfit ted for teachers. But we insist that, while no one should be condemned for the sins of their parents, that the ille gitimate boys and girls of white men, born of disreputable Negro women” since the war, should not be given the preference over the boys and girls born in wedlock. Lewdness must be made odious. While they are not held guil ty for the sins of their parents, their nscfulness is so impaired by such a history that they should seek other av ocations than those which set them up ’ as teachers and leaders of tho race, j No greater curse rests against our peo- j pie than their lack of discrimination between the vicious and the virtuous, the immortal and the pure. Wo hail j this uprising in Atlanta with joy, and hope it will soon permeate the whole country, and result in tho recognition and employment of only such teachers as can be the very best possible exam ples for our young people.— S.

INGERSOLL ON FREE TRADE. Speech at New York's Greet ItatiCcattoa Meeting—A Disturber Silenced. Tho greatest and grandest ratification meeting In tho history of tho Republican party in Now York was held in tlw Metro politan Opera house Ten thousand voters wore inside and several thousand mom wero unable to get In Tho enthusiasm was unprecedented. Col. Robert Ingersoll was tho principal orator, and hero aru coma of tho incidents of his speech: "And now," said Mr. Ingersoll, "wo roach another principle enunciated in this wonderful platform, for it is full of good things—protoetion for American labor." When Mr. Ingersoll uttered this sca tenco tho audionco rose in its places and cheered again and again. "I want this republic," ho continued, “separate and widespread of tho rest of tho world, so that if every port wero blockaded wo would bo covered with pros perity as a mantel. Ido not want to soo us a country producing merely raw mate rials. Tho mere producer of raw mate rials Is always a pauper. "A country that says you shall manu facture and sell your products will grow Intelligent and rich. Raw materials aro nothing, labor is everything Take aln comotive and examine it.

This is what tho Republican party doclarcs it will protect [Groat cheers.] "Tho south scllsits raw cotton. The Republican party wants to see tho sooth covered with mills with their shuttles busy manufacturing their cotton into goods for salo and consumption. As long as they remain mere producers of raw material they will remain poor, ignorant and Democratic." [Laughter aud ap plause.] "We aro fighting a manly, open battle in this subject. Our adversaries aro in tho rifle pits of office, we in tho open Held. But with solid breastworks wo plant our flag, aud that flag will sweep away tho batteries of tho Democratic party. "1 do not beliovo in protecting any indi vidual. but in the protecting diversified labor. I believe in protection that will prevent another nation from making us merely customers of their own. They cry trusts, and say wo will build up enormous monopolies”-! An occupant of a box shouted: "Protec tion and trusts.” Col. Ingersoll proceeded to say that when tho trusts became dangerous they would tako the tariff off. "That’s what tho Democratic party wants,” shouted the man in tho box, "Put him out! Be is an Englishman!" camo from ail parts of tho house. When quiet was restored, Col. Ingorscil said: "No, gentlemen. I believe my friend honestly differs with mo. Let’s havo honest discussion." Then, turning to tho box. ho said. "I know tho Democratic party wants free trade. "That is what lam talking about. Wo want to protect our laboring men and mako them happy, intelligent and pros perous." “They will bo better off under free ' trade." said ho in the box. Again tho audience cried: "Put him out!” and again Col. Ingersoll rebuked them. "Lot mo ask tho honor.’bio gcntlcmnn one question.” ho said. Then, again ad dressing tho box. ho asked: "If the laborer is better off la free trade countries, why doesn't bo emigrate to Europe?” Tho sally brought tho house to its feet. ; It 'vent wild with tho loud cheers. Again and again they cheered him, and trv as hard as he could, they would not lot him speak. For fully ten minutes the cheering last ed. When order was again restored Col. Ingersoll proceeded to a further elalar.e tion of tho platform, and concluded by saying it was the best one tho Itepilb lienn party had over adopted. WARNES MILLER SPEARS. President Bartlett then Introduced cx- Senator Warner Miller. "Tho issue before tho people." bo said, "is tho industrial isstio. That is the issue j tho nations of tho world aro battling with, and the United States must take its part in tho fight Great Britain has given up ! fighting for honor and glory, and now aims to retain her hold on oriental lands whero her wealth and power are being j built np. There is no reason." ho said. 1 “why wo should, to please British capital j istr. depart from tho system which has been handed down to us and under which i:o nation ever made such rapid progress “The Americans of today aro batter j clothed, hotter fed, better housed and 1 better educated than those of any other j cation in tho world. The Democrats \ would havo all this changed, but before ! wo consent to tho change we must have [ reasons that have not yet boon given us." ■ Tito Victorious n*ro m. Tho national Republican platform of ! 18S3 demonstrates in tbo clearest and j most unequivocal terms that there is a xvido difference between tho principles, 1 spirit and aims of the two leading parties of the country, tho Democratic party In control of tho federal government today and tho Republican jiarty. Tho manner in which tho Chicago convention lias i taken up tho challenge of President Cleve land and his obsequious party folk avers, and has defined tho Republican policy ro- j gardimr tbo tariff and tbo surplus'and other largo questions, leaves no middle ground for tho quibbiers. tho straddlers and tho vacillators.

While industry and economy are always to be looked to for relief from financial depression, individual success necessarily depends to a great extent upon wise legislation. To this end the total and unconditional repeal of all internal revenue taxes will greatly relieve the present par alyzed industrial condition of the country —both by relieving the country of a swarm of unnecessary officials and will relieve North Caro lina from this unequal and unjust tax. Internal federal taxes belong only to war and all revenues for the support of the Federal government (in times of peace) should bo collected from customs dues and their collection should be so adjusted as to protect American industries and labor. oth. The general government shouid not keep in its treasury any more money than is actually necessary to meet the demands of tho govern ment ; and as tho means of preventing any further accumulation wo demand the repeal of the internal revenue system of taxation and tho passage of the Blair educational bill as the best method of public education and of distributing tlie already accumulat ed surplus in the treasury. Tth. We are opposed to the present system of county government and we demand the election of all county and township officers by the people. Bth. The Republican party favors aud will earnestly support any legis lation looking to the abolition of all useless State officials and depen dencies, and the repeal of all un necessary taxation, that government itself may not consume that which it was intended to foster and protect. trth.
