THE DICTION 10 K OF THE , DEMOCRATIC CUNBRE8SI0NAL NOMINEE! Correspondence of the Gazette. Leicester, Oct. 8. A few days ago at Waynesville Mr. Gudger accused the Gazette correspondent who is traveling through the district reporting the de bate of the congressional candidates nf "misrpinreeenting" him and "preju dicing the people against him improbable that any one charge very seriously, yet to forestall its repetition It is. took the we decided We .wished to be certain ot doing Air. uuagei ab solute justice and to give the peoRle who have not heard him an accurate ddea of his lucidity and vigor of ex pression. We desired to give our read ers an intellectual treat. We obtained therefore a very accurate stenographic report of his speech at Leicester on Wednesday. Considerations of space iprevent its publication in full today and so we must omit from this issue those portions relating to the Philip pine situation and to purely state is sues. We will print those later. What we print today is not picked and chosen a sentence here aiid a paragraph there It was spoken as it was written. There is notnii-fe ..... and nothing added. Study it'. ilaV your democratic friends study it, and lera -what sort oi' a statesman the man is who is masque rading as their nominee. After eons mei aoie aime stent i:i dis cussing Philippine affairs Air. Gudger took up whai n.ay be called the lusi , ne?s issues as follows: That prosperity story is the same old story that has been told yeftrs and years ago. Lefs do right, let's think right, let's be just. I say let's be just, j my friends. If we be just, let's look back to the history of this country. In the administration of Harrison people had gone wild on certain things. In 18X7 and 1S90 and along there people were speculating all over this country from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. Asheville was one great town covering almost all of western North Carolina Property was bringing 'big 'prices. Go to the registration books and see the thousand and thousand dollars of mort gages brought on by speculation. In 18:2 tin; crash begar. to come. It bgf-.n in 1891. Think of that great strike m Pennsylvania when thousands and thousands of workmen were thrown out before Cleveland was ever elected. John Sherman passed a bill through' the senate to relieve this 'but it never got through the house. About that time Cleveland came along and he reaped what was coming on the American peo ple for years and years and years. My friends, mica was never on the pro tected list until It had been on the free list for forty years. At the time this country was running its great mica mines, it was ahvays on the free list. My friends, I tell you what gov erns prices. It is the question of sup ply and demand and the cornering- by the trusts and combinations of the country. Those are the two great things that cause high prices. Let's be honest and see if I cannot show you that fact. About three years ago. wheat in this country was worth $1.2" a bushel. In one campaign they talked about dollar 'wheat. Wheat went right on up and reached $1.25 and then it "began to come down. Why was that? The supply was great and the demand was small and then you saw the price of -wjheat coming down. Where is wheat today? Down to seventy-five and eighty-five cents a bushel. Now, my friends, suppose that just at that time wheat had been at $1.25, people would have said, look at your dollar wheat and $1.25 wheat. Same way with cattle. I admit that fine cattle is bring ing a high price. That is because there is a great demand for that kind of cattle. But X leave it to every man here today, republican or democrat, it J,he comanon calf is not down half its 'lirlce. Everybody here knows that calves are down on hundred iper cent. in price. I am speaking about the common calf; you must talk about the regular thing in the country, you can cot talk about the sjpecial thing. I told some people, over here the other day lot of ladies were present suppose now girls, suppose in this country there was only on hundred ladies and five hun dred young boys that wanted to marry the supply was small and the demsfid was great what chance for those girls to marry? quick and fast. You re verse that proposition and put five hundred girls and one hundred boys to marry them, and what is the oppor tunity the chance is small lor the sup ply is great. , -' -r, Now, my friends, on the tariff ques tion, I want to state this proposition. Here is the trouble with this great high protective tariff. There was a time When it was- necessary. When the re publican speakers talk to you, they al ways speak of the democratic party as being for free"trade. If you ever point to me where the democratic party has declared for free trade I will admit it. The democratic party is in for a tariff. We want a tariff to protect the com mon people. We have come to the time when the capital of this country has formed a trust representing five hun dred millions of dollars, more than the United States has and Germany com bined. What have they-,done? They head at the tail end and the other half at the other tail end and every time after that that the dog barked he bark ed at both ends. So it is that Mc-"' ICinley was barking at one end and. my friend, Major Moody, barking at the other. Mr. Gudger then jumped 'back into the Philippine question for a few moments and thence into, a long talk on state issues. We quote also his reply which will be seen to be a little gem, remarkable" for its clearness of thought and ele gance of expression: In rejoinder, Mr. Gudger says: "My friends, ne tells you that I got a job when I was in the legislature and that is where some of the money went. You all know that a solicitor gets four dollars for h's case and he gets not a cent more besides what the court al lows. Jim Moody tells about the increase of the State courts. Senator Pritchard himcelf approved of that. My friends, he talks about trotting me down hil and then smelling of me; let me tell you, you need not .trot Jim Moody one step but smell of him at ahy time and if you don't get 'the worst biny goat smell then I will give it up. He talked to you 'about my wanting ,to slander the soldier. Did I say anything against a soldier? Not a word. The soldier doesn't ray this money; they never paid this six hundred million dollars. A part of this went to them and the other part went to jobbers. Now he talked to you about the Jack Campbell bean He told you Jack .Campbell was in the hole that is right. He told you that Moody was the buffalo on top that is. right. You have read the story about the bear in the hole and the fellow had the tail of the of the bear. Now my friends, Senator Pritchard has hold of the tail of the coon nigger. If the tail held of Senator Pritchard slips on the coon nigger, you will see what darkens the hole. FARMERS CONCLUDE THEIR CONGRESS Macon, Ga., Oct. lOv There -was no diminution of interest apparent at the session of this the last day of the Na tional Farmers' congress. The chief features' of the day were the discus sion of papers as follows: "Mutual Relations of Northern and Southern Farmers," by E. W. Wickley of Mis sissippi; "The Labor Problem from the Farmers Standpoint," by John M. Stahl of Illinois; '"Farm Products in the Markets of the World' by O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau of statis tics of the United States agricultural department. ffepsoirals ST. ANDREWS CONVENTION Boston, Mass., Oct. 10. There was an increased attendance at today's ses sions , of the annual convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The- day was begun with the celebration of holy communion in Emanuel churcli, the celebrant being Bishop Olmstead of Colorado. Business sessions were held both morning and af-ernoon in Sym phony hall and consisted of animated discussion of ways and means for pro moting Christian citizenship in general and the work and influence of the St. Andrew society in particular. The .speakers including, besides well known churchmen, a number of bankers and business men of prominent in various parts of the country. THE CONNAUGHT PEASANTRY London, Oct. 10. A striking proof of the poverty of the Irish peasantry is afforded by the census returns of the province of Connaught, which have just been published. The population of the province is 646,932, or just, 10 per cent, less than 10 years ago. Nearly 90 per cent, of the total number of families -were in occupation of prem ises consisting- of less than five rooms, and of these 24 families lived in part of a room only, 10.392 were occupants of one room, and 47.543 of two rooms. In the 10,404 one-room tenements in the province there were 586 instances where the occunafits exceeded seven in num ber, including 91 cases of 10 persons, 34 of 11 persons and eight of 12 or more prisons living in one room. The emigration figures are startling. In the last decade 117,750 persons left -the province, while in the last half century 617,255 persons have emigrated from Connaught, the large majority of them going to the United States. IOWA CHRISTIAN, ENDEAVEROFS Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 10. The con vention of the state society of Chris tian Endeavorers in session here is one of the largest meetings .in' point of at tendance ever held by the society in Iowa. The sessions are to continue three aays, during which time ministers, evangelists and educators of promi nence are to be heard on subjects deal ing with church society work. JUSTICE SHIRAS , EXPECTED TO RETIRE Washington, Oct. 10. Justice Shiras today completes 10 years' service on the Supreme bench and thereby becomes eligible for retirement on his full sal ary of $10,000 a year. Although no formal announcement of the intention of Justice Shiras to retire has been made, it, is expected by the members of the bench and bar that he will do so. He was appointed to succeed Justice Bradley in 1892, and during the 10 years of his service has won a high reputa tion for learning and acumen. He is a graduate of Yale in the celebrated class of '53, and was admitted to the bar in 1S56 and practiced in Pittsburg until he was elevated to the bench. He has been in feeble health for some time, and, although he is very much interest ed in his duties, his doctOES have in formed him that his retirement is im perative if he would prolong his life. President Roosevelt has been consid ering former Attorney General Griggs of New Jersey for the position, while Senators Quay and Penrose have re commended J. H. Brown of Pennsyl vania. Attorney General Knox has also been mentioned, but it is believed that he would perfer to remain at the head of the derartment of justice. Mr.vand Mrs. Thomas S.

England's criminal population is rapidly on the increase, as is shown by the figures contained in the annual report just issued by the commissioner of prisons. How big the increase is as against the previoB year better is shown by the statement that there were 17,163 more persons sentenced ordinary imprisonment to long terms of penal severely in London to and 183 more servitude. So has the criminal A NEW TEXT Southern Preacher Gives Food For Thought Coffee works in many different and unsuspected ways. (Mr. E. L. Wes- pastor of Baptist church of Sardis, set the prices up. My friends, you can buy goods in foreign countries twenty per cent cheaper than you can buy in this country. Take bob-wire is seven ty-five cents to one dollar on one hun dred pounds cheaper abroad, and so it is with every line of articles that we nave got. In other words, they have just got in the position where they are squeezing the life out of the people My friends, Speaker Henderson, the speaker of congress when Jim Moody was there, was nominated to congress from Iowa the other day and refused to accept the nomination in his state because his state favored a resolution that the tariff must be lowered. My friend speaks of McKinley and talks about his being sent back to con gress wnen ivicruniey was running in yjnn direction ana ne was running in another. When do you expect; to get to McKinley in that way? Here was , McKinley running: on a platform advo cating the gold standard and my friend here was running on a platform de- claring for free silver. Senator Pritch aid was the same wav and Marion Butler and when tho.s men were elect ed to the United States senate both of thorn declared for silver and James Moody voted for thm. When you talk about free silver puts me'in mind of. a fellow- who had a grey hound. One day that grey hound ??ot after a rabbit and the rabbit l'an through a' wire fence and the greyhound -was running so fcist that -when he struck the -wire fenee he epli.t ; hjmsel'f half in two.

I suffered with head aches if forced to do without it, and sometimes used it three time a day. but headache had been one of the ills of our family, and therefore I thought it. was an inherited evil for which cof fee was a special remedy, but about nine years ago I began to suffer from sleeplessness, which continued until it seemed as if my nerves would wreck for want of sleep, and yet I could not sleep. A friend suggested that I quit coffee except for breakfast, which I did, and so found that I could sleep a little bet ter, but my headaches continued, and my nervous system would sometimes seem as if the yery fibres of my flesh were moving within me. It went on un til three years ago I began to suffer at night with an itching sensation on my limbs below my knees and on my arms below the elbows, and some times all over my body, but there was no eruption on the skin; the flesh was smooth and white. I consulted sev eral good physicians, but with. no avail. I had no idea that the coffee I drank in the morning caused it, but finally decided to stop coffee for a while, and try Postum Food Coffee. Wife made ' it according to directions, so that I liked it equally as well as coffee.

PI Ml I. IVI. u, H. RESUMED TODAY Work was resumed on the Y. M. C. A. building yesterday morning. The work will be continued now until the building is under root and enclosed. This is going to mean an expenditure of about $5000 and it is absolutely nec essary that payments of subscriptions should be prompt, that the directors may meet every installment due on the contract. It seems a pity to have to stop the work at that point, as the building is r-. 1 J i j Jl T i so uituiy ueeueu every aay, Dut it is business policy, the directors say, to "pay as you go" and keep out of debt. It is earnestly hoped that some of the wealthy friends of this wrork, either here or elsewhere, will see the great need of the early completion of the building and make it possible.

In all the Western North Carolina towus ihe uazettc- uas specical correspondents and the events especially of th mountain region, receive their due attention in its news columns. Editorially, the Gazette advocaces the progressive poli cies of the Republican national party.- It stands m.ccm promisingly in opposition to dishonest election?, corrupt political combinations and extravagance in the administra tion of the affairs of this state, producing unnecssary tax burdens. The Gazette favors every movement that look? to the moral and educational betterment of the state and to a promotion of industrial progress. The Gazette look? npec the building of good roads, the extension of the free public school system, and the rural free delivery of the mail? important factors in the upbuilding of the state.

SEMI-WEEKLY YES It Is All O. K. the itching was not so severe. When I had used it ten days, my wife said: 'What is the matter with you? You do not seem to be troubled with that itching sensation.' I told her that I did not know what was the cause, but I knew that I was not troubled with the itching any more and was thankful for it. I then went over to preach in another Town, ana wniie there drank some strong coffee, and the itching- returned. When;! came back home I commenced using Postum again, and the itching ceased. Then I. decided that coffee- in oir.e way produced ".the itching. I drink; Postum three times. , day and work is to be done at once, as the sup ply of coal is running very short.

We think we will be able to get coal suf ficient to supply all our main, line en gines.". 4 Mr. Huger was asked is the ste had increased the price of coal to' the railroads.
