THE TRAITOR SKlllNED.
HON. EDWARD W. POU LAID
IT ON TO BUTLES.
In a Joint Discussion at Smith
field the Able Congressman
Tells Him of His Meanness and
Makes Him Swallow it.
Congressman Poa, of the Rr'eigh
district, and Marion Butler Jiad a
joint political discussion in Smith
Held last Saturday. Marion Butler,
who like the gentleman of the
same name, of Boston, who com
manded the federal forces in New
Orleans during the war between
the states and because of his vil
lainous conduct there was given the
name of "Beast Butler," can boast
that whatever may have been said
of him, no one has ever called him
a fool, slipped up in this debate by
denouncing the white people' of
the state for causing certain dis
turbances in 1898, especially those
which are known as the Wilming
ton revolution. From an exchange
we take the following account of
Mr. Pou's reply to this part of But
ler's speeches?
Butler denounced the people of the
ntate for the distr -bance which took
place in the campaigns of 1898 and
1900, and charged that Senator Sim
inons encouraged mob rule. Mr.
1'ous reply was one of the most ter-
You think that they have forgotten,
and that you can deceive them once
more by your soft and hyocritical
words?
Commenting on the above fie
Wilmington Messenger says:
"Butler did not resent the charse.
tie could not. for lconscinp.A dnoa
make cowards of us a!l" and Butler's
conscience reminded him that every.
word of that denunciatory charge
wag true. Think of a white man of
North Carolina, one who had been
honored by her people by election

began by laying down, in broad
lines, the underlying prinoiplea of
democracy. He declared that it
was not the pprty for the selfish
man, or tne man whose life was j
given oyer to money getting. He
inserted that it the party whc
teachings are all altiuistic, and
whose doctrines 'nco'cate hicher and'
cleaner and better ideals. Briefly
he dwelt upon the record of gr?ft
and greed that the national Repub
lican party had made, and then,
coming down to deta 's, he took up
the present iniquitous tariff law.
The difficulty with moat discus
sions of the tariff ia that they are too
abstract, and statisticr', and involv
ed to be interesting. The liatener
loses interest while the speaker tells
of "per oenta," and "duties" etc.
With Mr. Craig thi ia not so. S'mply
and with wer'th of illustration, he
explains the workings of this law,
that, were it bat once understood
by all the people, would be wiped
off our statute books within thirty
days rfter the sitting of our next
Congress. Through the whole dis
cussion of the subject, like a gob
den thread, runs the apper' to hia lis
teners for a spirit of loftier pa-
-.
triotkm and more unselfish liring.
"The full dinner pail" declared the
speaker, "is not the end and aims
of life. Life is more than meat, and
the body than. raiment,"
For an hour and a half Mr
Craig held his large audienoe deep
ly, sympathetically interested, and
when his rich mellow voice ceased,
the crowd was sorry he was done.
It was the speech of an orator, and
of a man passionately In ermest.
As a whole the meeting was
great success, and the Executive
Committee is acting wisely in send
ing Mr. Craig out to preach
the gospel of pure Democrasy in the
state.
