Speech Before the legUIature After tbe Pakkage of lUe Bill Fair Prom ite A in an Who Blade Uimelf. By invitation Mr. "W. J. Best address ed tbe Legislature at 4 o'clock on Satur day afternoon, and the following is his speech as reported by theKaleigh News : Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the General, Assembly : I sincerely thUhk you for the oppor tunity of meeting you at the beginning of my connection with the Western North Carolina Railroad. It has been my good fortune for several years past to be intimately acquainted with not a few of the representative men of North Carolina men whom the State has de lighted to honor. It has also been my pleasure to enjoy their friendship and regard. To my acquaintance with these gentlemen is partly due my presence here at this time. A good deal has been said in reference to villiam J. Best and the gentlemen associated with him in the proposition to purchase the State's interest in the Western North Carolina Railroad which you have recently considered and rati fied. The question was put to me seve ral days ago whether, in my opinion, it would not be well for me to show my self to those -of you whom I had not the opportunity of meeting previously. To many of you I believe I am some thing of a surprise. Certainly, I have beootrrerii surprise to myself, and for thii, reason, among others, that I have just read a description of myself in one of the Raleigh papers to the effect that I am "a little, stout, round-headed Irish man, whith a wooden leg." (Laughter.) In other places, equally exaggerated ideas have obtained as to my personal appearance, and, still more, concerning my plans and purposes. In my own be half, I wish to say that I am a plain, straightforward man of business, accus tomed to deal with large interests upon business principles. Never have I had recourse to improper influences to ac complish tbe end I desired. For months past you have known the fact that I was in negotiation for the purchase of one of the principal rail roads of the State. Some of your news papers and public men have called me hard names, but a much larger number have spoken of me in the most kind manner. It is always pleasant to a man of my temperament to hear himself well spoken of. On the other hand, it is very unpleasant to be abused without cause. But this is passed, and has left in mind no ill-feeling or desire for re venge. As mj plans unfold them-, selves, not in mere rhetoric, but in ac tual demonstration's-- ef what I came here to do, I think no one who opposed the sale will have occasion t regret the. day that the Legislature approved the act to place the control of this road in my hands. (Applause.) It would not, gentlemen, be proper for me, a comparative stranger to many of you, to discuss the propositions to amend this measure. It seems, how ever, that I should tell you that at no period ia the past three years during which I iiave had my eye fixed firmly jp w"? vtu ? " CJ51 uy mma norwimiim uie yueuiowt:AAjgJ4engtb from hi mouth the other day. vision tremendous applause. Three years ago 1 discussed with several emi nent North Carolinians the question of the completion of the Western North Carolina Railroad. I urged the matter with earnestness, and, at the same time, advised paying the debts of the North Carolina and Atlantic and North Carolina Railroads. JChen to consoli date the three roads under one manage ment, thus carrying out in a practical way the old idea of a "North Carolina System" of railroads from the Seaboard to the Mississippi Valley. I proposed this, not as an individual enterprise, but in behalf of the State. It may surprise many of you to hear this, but among the archives of the State may be found one or more propositions looking to the accomplishment of that great work, which I submitted for the considera tion of the executive. Unfortunately, the condition of the finances of the State and. the uncertainty which then peryaded the publio mind regarding na tional affair?, prevented arty action. But for these causes I believe the Wes ternNorth Carolina Railroad would now be completed. Here I wish to say that I have al ways regarded tbe Duck- to ka, division 4s decidedly the most viriabief portion of this road. I am con- scibUSrofthe magnitude of the work ton be donoxo carry tnat road to the Ten nessee State line, it involves the ex penditare of millions of dollars and years? 5o .-patient, persevering wpf k. Whfihittowever, that road shall be rUi- ishfltiflt will Drove one: of the most ro- jntineratf ve pieces of railroad property south of the Potomac. I make this statenfeht for the information of those fenttemen who have asserted, honestly, presume, that it was not my intention ever to build the,Ducktown line. Here afterwbeiiAhey gee -the work in pro cess of accomplishment, I wish then to, reflect whether or not tfcey did, rue-jasv thank "those erentlemen who took me largely upon trust and firmly supported the measure for the sale of this road to roe and -y associates, I feel as if they naa pieogea inemseives as surety ior rhn F.aif li I Manf ntm o n no rT mil rrtrt tract;- Isay -these gentlemen, in aft sincerity, that I shall redeem the bond, atthtur performance or if I live. From this time onward, the comple tion of this road shall be the great ob ject of my life, and I do not doubt but that 1 shall succeed. Applause. I - I realize, gentlemen, that! have takea in hand a wort qf such magnitude as S'oum appai most men. x or iweniy ve years it has taxed the energies of . f iNorfh Carolina. It has commanded the -best thoughts and energies of such emi nent statesmen caiaweu, Moreneaa and Graham. If, after the failure of these creat men. it should fall to my lot to finish this creat hiehwav of eoih- finerce, I have the abiding faith that the sentiment of the Old Nortn fctatp wli accord to me all the ho,n,p,p to which my labors wj& ntHie me, eve though I came to you a carpet-bag Irishman. As to the methods I shall pursue in carry ing on this work, it 4s unnecessary for me to take up your valuable time. A tions speak louder than words. lit a short time, I shal give yo an earnest vnu to bear, m mind, that I haveootae here to make money and, am going, to; doHaJi' shall realise' from this enter Krige Jfortb Carolinian will seenre one, nndred -dollars We Jjaust brlwr thd- furjdftetobuiMAteHi.

In that city of great men, I worked, I am proud to say, as a porter at one dollar per day; but in. that city, and within a stone-throw of the scenes of my early struggles, I have since been able to command hundreds of dollars for only a few hours labor. Whatever of reputation I possess, whatever money I have- madej has -been purchased by sacrifices of personal comfort and a laborious attention to business that would appal you. What I have done I believe I can do again ; and all I ever hope to be I shall owe to my own head and bands, under Almighty God. The building of the Western North Carolina Railroad is the most stupendous under taking of my life.: -Relatively, I have accomplished as great things as that upon which I have now embarked. That I shall successfully perform the E resent task, I do not doubt ; and in uilding this railroad I feel sure of youf cordial, hearty co-operation. It is not pleasant to me to speak in this way of myself, and yet, I do not well see how I could avoid doing so. Never before, gentlemen, in the his tory of North Carolina, have four men been so thoroughly discussed as Wil liam R. Grace, James D. Fish, J. Nelson Tappan and myself. Every influence was brought to bear, every machinery that could be thought of, was put in motion, to discover something in us that was vulnerable. Gentlemen, you know the result. Certainly, we have no reason to be ashamed of the record. When I was asked by one of the execu tive officers of the State for references in New York, my reply was prompt. "I shall give you no references. Should I furnish any they would be my friends, a man does not refer to his enemy. Go where you please, inquire of whom you please, I shall be satisfied." Thus far I have kept , my name un sullied. Is it, therefore.'likely I would come here and do anything dishonest, play you any trick, thereby marring my usefulness forever. My ambition is, honestly to carry out our contract and, I trust, before many months have elapsed to have the pleasure of inviting you, or your successors, to accompany me over the road to Pigeon River and Taint Rock.
