Butler and Russell, the twin in- , f amies of North Carolina politic; are now trying to explain the dastardly South Dakota bon? deal or rather bond steal. But ler is quoted as saying recent 1} at Lincolnton that the State re ceived a hundred cents on the dollar for the bonds and there fore ought to have the bond holders full value. That a mar who aspires to State leadershii should make such an assertior is almost beyond belief. It proves if any proof were needed, the man's utter moral worthiessness. The bonds for the collection oi which Butler prostituted his high office brought the State about twenty-five cents on the dollar. In 1879, after a thorough inves tigation the legislature agreed to pay for those bonds just what the State received for them— twenty-five cents on the dollar, v An act was passed providing that all the owners who should sur render these bonds should • re ceive new bonds amounting to twenty-five per cent of the fact value of the old bonds. For in stance supposing a man who held bonds of the face value of two thousand dollars, should sur render them. He would then re ceive new bonds for five hundred dollars. Most of the bondhold ers accepted this fair offer. In Russell's administration a New York party sent his bonds to the Treasurer of the State to be can celled. Treasurer Worth can celled them, made out the new bonds and carried them to Russell to be signed. The Gov ernor refused to do so and stated that he had received a telegram from a former law partner of his asking that the old bonds be re turned. The Treasurer put a certificate on the bonds stating that they had been cancelled by mistake and sent them back to the owner. Then, after Russell's term of office expired, he appeared as Counsel with Butler in the Schaeffer suit against the State. In a recent speech Russell said that he thought out the plan of giving to another State a part of the bonds so that suit could be brought on them. Accordingly it is plain that until he thought out the plan nobody knew of anv way to collect the bonds. Cer tainly Litchenhaner who sent the bonds which Worth first can- Celled and then returned with hat certificate, knew no way to | ollect them or he would not; ave sent them to Worth. No- ody knew of the plan but Rus- 311, according to his own state nent. Now Russell says that he i eceived a letter or telegram rom a former partner of his di ecting the bonds to be returned. How then did Russell's law jartner get into communication vith the owner of the bonds? low came he to know that the >onds had been sent to Worth? low did he leern of a plan by ,vhich the bonds could be c»llect »d, when Russell alone had "thought out the plan." Manifestly there was only one person from whom he could have [earned those facts— Russell him self. Russell, then, Governor State, sworn to protect its every interest, interfered with a set tlement which a creditor was ibout to make with the State md pointed out a way to that creditor by which he could wring i'rom the tax-payers of North Carolina several hundred thous ind dollars more than he had of fered to accept. That of itself was treason to his own State. But worse still, he appeared as attorney for a firm of Wall Street brokers in a suit upon bonds of that very class, when he left the governor's chair. Why did he hold up the surrender of the bonds? Why did his former law partner appear so suddenly in the transaction? And why, as soon as his term of office expired, did he himself become counsel for the bondholders? The cir cumstances all go to show a vil lainous plot by which he was to profit as soon as he went out of office, a plot which the vile trai tor hatched up while Chief Exec utive of the State that he be trayed. Meanwhile Butler, a Senator from North Carolina, joined hands with him and lug ged in South Dakota Pettigrew to consummate their rascality. But ler may deny; Russell can ex plain, but the South Dakota bond suit will remain one ot* the foul est blots on the records of two nen whose political acts are oth erwise black enough. Ananias Out-done. Of course nobody expects the Republican campaign papers in Morth Carolina to deal in facts. But such Journals abuse the privilege of mendacity when they make the assertion that the negroes are all joining the Dem ocratic Party. Why, we won der, out of gratitude to the Dem ocrats for disfranchising them' The negroes may be joining th Democrats, but the Democrat! are not joining the negroes. Un ier fusion rule, George White, t negro represented the Secont District in Congress. Who ii the Democratic negro Congress man. Under fusion rule Le Person, Jim Young and numer ous other negroes were member of the legislature. Who are the Democratic ne groes in the legislature? Ther are none. In all the fusionist put over nine hundred negroe in office. Who are the Demc i cratic negro office-holders? The; do not exist. Under fusion rul 1 there were 120,000 legal negr i voters to say nothing of the ne s gro minors, ex-convicts and nor . residents who were allowed t vote under the "fair" (?) fusio » election law. The Democrat 7 wiped out the fraudulent negr i electors, disfranchised 100,00 . of the rest and yery s few of th I remainder ever vote at all. 3 Under fusion rule the negi ; who paid for a first class tick* . rode in the car with the whit 1 people. Now the colored brotl f er travels via the Jim Cro f route. e Really, if competitors outsic yr of New York can compete f t Mr. Hearst's Ananias cup, o v ferred for the biggest politic lie of the campaign, the ms t who says that in this State tl i- negroes have joined the Dem h cratic Party, has them all ski] GOV. GLENN HERE.' i SPOKE AT THE GRADED ' SCHOOL MONDAY NIGHT. ; Over a Thousand People Hear 1 Him. Catawba Safely Dem- ocratic by Nice Majority. ■ The clouds and gloom of the , past weeks gave wav to clear the skies and balmy warmth Monday, and an immense au dience greeted Governor Glenn at the auditorium that evening. Reaching here Sunday night he in company with Messers M. H. Yount and W. E. Holbrook, drove to Granite Falls, where he spoke in the graded school at that point ti about five hundred enthusi astic people. Returning that afternoon, he rested until time to speak at night. He was very much exhausted and quite hoarse when he began to speak, but has been stated by those who have often heard him that the effort was the very finest they ever heard him make. In fact, it has been pronounced by some the finest speech made in the State since the days of Vance and Ransom. The auditorium was packed, about one third being ladies -(Governor Glenn says the ladies elected him, anyhow.) And a more appreciative audi | ence never greeted any speaker. | They were swaged by his every I word and look, they laughed, pondered, wept, rejoiced with , him. The appluse was repeated an tumultuous. Governor Glenn I discussed tariff issues and the trusts maintained by that tariff in a manner so clear and simple that, as he said, the merest child ! could understand the question. In matters connected with the State he was equally clear and cogent The repeated assertion of extravagance so falsely brougt 1 by Republican leaders- was re ' futed in every /particular, and the manner in which the Demo } crats have worked for ecfyication, for the institutions for the in ~ sane, for the deaf, dumb and blind, the appropriations for our veterans. All these things were fully laid before the hearers His remarks as to prohibition were appropriate in the extreme and his closing peroration, in which he so pathetically 5 ed for help, not criticism fro. 11 these his own people were path- L etic and touching. In the deep e silence hanging over the assem n bly, the sobs of strong men, the e most sincere of all homage, i- could be heard breaking the i- hush. i- "Our Governor Bob, God bless ? him," and he made many friends e here and some sincere converts, s After the speech was over a L- brilliant reception was held in a the club rooms, and a throng was d presented to the chief majistrate is of North Carolina. The womer 3- who love him gave him glad wel se come, and "bright eyes greu r . brighter for his sake." It wa rs generally commented upon as £ representative gathering oJ f»_ Hickory and Catawba people. - e A feature of the evening oui ts Governor spent with us was th music of our band. The boys o have not been practicing long, .y their performance was highly -creditable, and gave much plea ro sure to the crow J. e- ii- ned for the prize. to However, if cleverness is to 1; >n considered in that contest, o ts suggestion will be withdrawn ro for the lie in question, thougl )o probably the biggest that ha tie been, or will be, told in this cam paign, is also the stupidest. I ro reminds us of the old time radi et cal stump speakers who, hem te med in by a dense throng of Af h- ricans, with here and there >w white man on the edge of th crowd, used to throw up thei de hands and shout: 'or "Feller Citizens, they call u >f- the nigger party." (Cries o ;al "Amen!" "Dot's so!" "Tell i an white man!" he "And yet Halifax county witt 10- a nigger majority of 2,000,' a in-J ways goes Democratic, and Mitel ell county, where they won't let aliigger stay all night, is the strongest Republican county in r the State." (Cries of "Now j you's a preachin,' white man! - t Har! Har! Har! Jess listen to | dat!) "Now you Democrats will i have to be the nigger party." Tnis climax always brought . roof-raising yells and was the brightest star in the crown of a radical orator addressing his dus ky constituents. No, beloved, the negroes have not joined the Democratic party any more than they had joined it in the daj s when Halifax, with a negro majority of two thous aid, went Democratic as regu larly as a Southern railway train runs behind time. It is strange how often some writers make contradictory statements even in a single sen tence. For instance a Westren Editor recently began a political article as follow: *'We shall give our readers the facts about the Dingley Tarriff and show how ~ it benefits the Country."

Tuesday afternoon a squad °f railroad hands appeared at the freight depot and began digging a trench at the West en J of this building on a line with the sid- » that runs parallel with the park. It is reported that the railroa \ authorities having been enjoined from enlarging the depot on the East end will now attempt to tend it on the West. This is in gross violation of the s ytrit, if not of letter of the re en; dt(i sion of the Supreme Ctu t wh. h 1 contained the signifies nt remark that it was to be supposed that the railroad company would le move its freight depot to some other part of the town where the inconveniences to the public would not be so great. The de-. cision enjoined them from en larging on the East as that was all that they then proposed to do. If it turns out that their purpose really is to build there, ..the town should, and doubtless will, promptly interfere. TALK OF THE TOWN.
