P., a life-long republican; a man of much in telligence and influence, and one who has ever stood to tbe g. o. p. through thick and thin, came out boldly in a RDeech. not only in favor of the Constitutional amend ment, but for the democratic ticket from President to to wn ship constable. The speech.it is said, was very clear on the issues of the campaign, and was much enjoyed by the peo pie. He has forever turned his back upon the party of his forefathers, as scores of others are doing daily in N. C, and cast his lot with the party that is striving so un tiringly to upbuild the inter ests of North Carolina in ev ery way and to overthrow ne gro domination in the State that has been foisted upon us by the Republican party We wehome him. The Republican Senatorial Convention for the 30th Diet, met in Jefferson on Tuesday, and Jhe nomination of L. H. Michael, of Watauga, was en dorsed thereby. It is said that Mr. Michael made a yeiy bitter and unreasonable speech in accepting theN nom Inn fun (something he ha intim'ited lie never would do) and denounced the Demoi ray with all the fervor o his uolitical might. When he was invited on Inst. Satui dav to meet his opponent Wilev H.Swift, in ioint dis , . cuKsion at Elk Knob Acjh emy, would have been the proper time for him to have trade this speech, or one of ifts kind, but, as is the hauit of Republican candidates, he failed to be on hand. W e are pleased to lea rn that the political speaking at Zionville on Tuesday was well attended, nnd the speech ea on both sides were at ten tively listened to b th peo pie. This it. as it shonld be, and we trust no bitterness will enter into the campaign, as. this is a time when the people need facts instead of . gaul and misrepresentations. We are confronted ' by great issues and they should be dis l:, cuss&i in a mihl, gefttleman ly way, so that no hardness . may be engendered thereof. Weil, the Chinese ha veonly themselves to blame for the war if it comes. They invent c ) Eunpowdrr, you know, v C.Threcfnthen vy rains ha ve don immense damage to the wheat crops. . At manv places it was harvesting time and much of the grain Had been hut nnd Btood in shocks in, the fields and the rain caused the grain to sprout. This will cause a rise, in the price of wheat The war in South Africa, and the one just beginning in China will do much to increase tin de mand for Hour. It truly see. ns that flour will be on the upward trend for some time. .' ' - - - 1 . After six months of effort he Republicans achieved a platform which was prompt- y repudiated from one end of the country to the other y the Republican press, and which it is now claimed was oisted upon them by shenan ignn. I his win no 10 ten. Republican discipline is too good to permit anything of the kind to be done. The Re publicans are si'mp'y fright eneil bv the unexpected scorn heaped upon their "non-glit tering" generalities and are trvirrc to hedge. That is all there is to the Quigg howl. The tram wreck which oc curred at McDonoughonlast Saturday was a distressing affait . The floods had wash ed the trestle out leaving the track suspended, and when the passenger train sped a long, the engineer saw noth ing and dashed his train on it and into the stream below, a distance of 60 feet. All of the pa ssengers were killed ex cept those in the sleepers. Yesterday, t h e GloriouB Fourth, was republican day in Boone. The bojs turned out in considerable numbers, nnd a horseback procession numbering 60 strong went out to meet their speakers, Adams and fFaher, As we go to press the speakinghasnot begun, but we suppose t will be after the old Bort. full of republican deception and mm representations. . The nominee for Governor in New York will be named by Senator Piatt, and will be pledged to nullify the franchise tax law. It was for this purpose that Roosevelt was forced to run for Vice President. Corporations in which benator riatt owns stock are now compelled to pay large sums under this tax.' Possibly this may ex plain why Piatt wanted Roost-velt out of the way. .No, ol course, tnere Is no alliance nor even understand ing- between Great Britain and the United States, but American troops are march ing and fighting under orders of British ollicers in China all the Name. And the British wonder why Russians do not do' the same without com plaint; Surely, in view of the brilliancy shown in South Ifrica by Hritish generals, no one could wish more able leadership than theirs. ' A western college has made Mr. Hanna a doctor of laws Mark has been dostoring law ior a good many years already. Are we to suppose that heretofore he has been on only a quack? this, summer?

PK.aodi4tallJrnrr isBabyTh It is fannounced that (Joy. iieckham will call an extra session of the Kentucky leg islature to modify the Ooe bel law. ; This is well. It is not so much - a question of what the law teally is as of what the people think it . is, and it is quite certain that the House of Representatives will throw but Kentucky's vote this fall (if taken under the Gof.hel taw) should it be necessary to do so in order lo elect McKinley. A Republican judge irr Ken tucky hai recognized the va lidity of one of Taylor's par dons and has turned loose a man ngainst whom there was the strongest evidence Of com phcity in the murder of Goe bel. This is the first time that a court has recognized a pardon issued to.a man for a crime before ' he had been convicted. The National Democratic Convention met in Kansas City yesterday and, of course Col. W. J. Bryan was nom inated by acclamation for president, but there has been much speculation as' to who the nominee for the vice presi dency will be. The Boer envoys have left tho countrj, disappointed and disheartened. 2hey de serted their real friends soon after they landed and went mongering after the strange gods of the Republican par ty and they have had their reward in neglect and slights. They will know better next ime, ' Broken ribs are all right once in four years, but after Piatt's performance, if any one at the Kansas City con vention developes a pain in bis eide, the delegates will be warranted in keeping an eye upon him. , DR.
