Why Tom! a
The gist of Mr. Dockery'u speech
: Beemed to be the assertion that the
speaker was prepared to fling all f.e

words to that effect. The people of
the State will, therefore,: prepare
themselyes for a very offensive dose
of dirty jokes, no logic and the lowest
species of demagOguery. They know
Dockery of old. J' !
Dockkbt, in the course of his speech,
said he was in favor of giving the ne

Correjpoodonce of the Newi and Obnerver, : i
Simply an announcement is usually
sufficient to bring together a large
assembly of people at this point.
Feeling the need of having oar pa
triotism Revived in this year of grace
and elections the citizen of our town
decided a short time since to arrange
for the ooming together of our peo
ple and for some services appropriate
to the dar. vear and Burroundnica.
Accordingly this fact was made
known by a liberal spread! of hand-
DUU3, ana at an early no ur on tveanes
day morning many persons of all
sizes and ages could be seen pouring
into our Tillage through its different
thoroughfares. . By the hoar ap
pointed : for the speaking several
i hundred were crowding our
streets. ! ' A goodly number re
paired to the stand and! listened
to two very sensible and and patriotic
addressee from N. B. Brooghtou, of
Raleigh,; and A. 0. Green, df St. Mat
thew's township, Wake county. The
address of Mr. Broughtoa was jast
suoh M any Christian gentleman
might deliver to his countrymen, and
I Just snob as every citizen of the United
States Ought, from time to time, to
hear. Mr. Green, though sot npch
experienced ixi public speakfng, did
err eat credit to himself on yesterday.
He had; formerly lived with us and
was here to meet with those in whose
welfare he felt a deep interest.'- Be
ing prominently connectedyvitu the
Farmers' Alliance of this county, he
spoke freely of all that bad, passed in
our conventions and urged i most elo
quently that all white men,- be .they
whom they might, should snpport the
ieuiocrnuo pariy. 11 evuiciuii., re
form them inside the Democratic
party. You will not get relief by go-
ing ouipiae. lie uses tne sieuge Ham
mer well, clinching every nail.
Af tee Messrs. Broughton and Green
had concluded the crowd adjourned
for refreshments. It was announced
that Messrs. Bunn and Battle would
soon arrive and speak at 8 o'clock.
At the tap of the drum in the after
noon the crowd re-assembled ana
listened to the addressee of these
gentlemen. We cannot in this short
notice do justice to any of me speak
ers. Suffice it to say, our people had
long had a desire to meet Mr. Bunn
and form a more 'intimate acquaint
ance with him. It was very touching
to Bee some of the members of the
47th Regiment N. C. Troops go up
and shake his hand and heat the Jthort
rehearsals of campflre life and battles
foughtjwhich were mutually shared
by them. Mr. Bunn will gain strength
waerevjer.ne goes. 110 i. nae can
vasser,: speaks well and by his manly
bearing will command the Respect of
all. lie will as surely be the suc
cessor bf John Nichols s night fol
lows day. If there is one man in
whom J the people of Wake county
have more confidence than another it
is R. II. Battle, of Italeitrh Hi"name
here' is' a synonym of virtue,' truth,
sobriety, honesty, sincerity, eonser?
vatismi He always speaks with such
sober fudirment and wins those who
will reason. Altogether the proceed
ings of the day were a success in this
part ot Wake. - we never saw petter
attention and ltss confusion. All feel
glad a the result. :i Hal.

lative to Jhe inade.jucy of i'.r up
propriation for the libt hout cr
vice in the sundry civil approprintion
bill.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri. prV-stulfd
a report of the conferees on tbe ag
ricultural bill to the effect that they
had reached ) agreement upon all
points of difference except the Sen
ate amendment appropriating $100
0Q0 for sorghum sugar experiments.
The report was adopted and the con
ferees were directed t insist upon
their disagreement to rhis amend
ment. The regular order was demanded,
being an aye and nay vote on the
E as sing of the land grant forfeiture
ill, and the vote was taken, result
ing ayes 177, noes 8. So the bill was
passed.
.Air. Belmont, of New York, from
the committee on foreign affairs, re
ported the result of the inquiry in to
the case of John Curtin Kent. Cal
endar. Mr, Atkinson, of Pennsylvania, from
the committee on the District of Co
lumbia, reported the bill to punish
public drunkenness in the District.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on tjie tariff bill, the
pending paragraph being that rela'iug
to iron ore, steel railway fish plates or
splice bars-
- Mr. Buchanan's motion to strike
oat the paragraph was rejected.
Mr, Bayne, of Pennsylvania, made
a similar motion with respect to the
paragraph relating to spikes, horse
shoes, etc., stating that the revenue
derived from this source last' year was
but $10. Motion lost.
The reading of the bill then' pro
gressed rapidly, motions made on the
Republican side to strike out many of
the paragraphs being rejected, gener
ally without division and with little
debate.
Messrs. Farquhar, of New York,
Adams of Illinois and Spooner of
.Rhode Island, protested against the
reduction of the duty on files and the
imposition of an ad valorem rate. The
Democrats refrained from replying
and upon a standing vote Mr. Far
quhart's amendment increasing and
scaliog the duties in proportion to
the size of the files prevailed by a
vote of 64 to 61.
Mr. Mills, however, demanded tel
lers and the result was reversed, yeas
G3, nays 70, and the amendment was
rejected. :
Ori motion of Mr. Vance,
of Connecticut, with the assent
of Mr. Mills and amid some
sarcastic laughter from the Rpub'i
cans, the paragraph imposing a duty
of 85 per cent ad valorem on wood
screws was stricKen out, tnus re
storing le present rate of duty.
Mr. Dubois, of Idaho, opposed the
reduction of duty on lead pre. He
offered an amendment restoring the
existing duty and providing that com
binations of lead ore with gold or sil -ver
ore shall not be exempt from the
duty on lead: ore. The amendment
was lost by a tie vote of 62 to 62.
Mr. dtone, of Missouri, offered an
amendment whieh, leaving the doby
on lead ore as filed by the bill, provides-
that the combination of lead
with silver in ores shall not exempt
the-lead therein from duty. Rejected,
after a long political debate, in which
the amendment before the 1 louse waa
entirely lost sight of.
One, submitted by Mr. Warner, of
Missouri, restoring the present rate
of duty on lead ore was also rejected.
: On motion of Mr. Mills, tbe clause
was stricken out wmcn imposes a
duty of 35 per cent ad valorem on
pen-knives and razors, thus restoring
the present rate.
On motion of Mr. Mills
a clause was inserted fixing a rate cn
new type for printing at 15 per cent.
ad valorem- Sugar and molasses and
confectionary clauses being reached,
by agreement they were all consid
ered together, after an understanding
had been reached that a vote should
not be taken today. Mr. Cannon,
of Illinois, offered an amendmeLt
striking out all of the sugar . and
molasses paragraphs and inserting
clauses fixing duties as follows :
Sugars, not above No. 16, duties
standard: syrups, etc, and all mo
lasses, testing not above 50 degrees,'
not otherwise provided for, are to be
exempt from duty, in the event that
no expert duty is levied by the
country of exportation. Sugars
above No. 16 are to pay
duty of tbree tenths of one per cent-;
molasBes above 5G degrees, 2 cents
per gallon; maple sugar, 2 cents per
pound; of crystalizable sugar contain-.
-"ti i' - j l . , - -
cents per gallon; glucose, 1 cent per
poundr bo gar candy not colored,
cents per pound. All other confec
tionery not enumerated, and on
Sugars after being refined,' when
tinctured, colored, or adulterated,
and on all chocolate confectionery,
10 cents per pound (with similar pro-
vision against an expert duty), it is
also provided that to encourage do
mestic production, there . shall
be paid a bounty to the United
States producers of sugar from
beets, sorghum and other cane
raised in the United States,
as follows: On sugar, 2 cents per
pound, crystalizable sugar contained
therein; on molasses, above 50 degrees,
C cents per gallon; not above 56 de
grees, 4 cents.
In supporting his amendment Mr.
Cannon alluded to; frauds which he
asserted had grown up under the
present law, and criticised the bill for
perpetuating fraud. The bill was
better than the present law, but it
was far short of what it ought to be
Mr. Panston, of KstxHss, suggested
tnat me iarmer wno prooucea sorg
ham would not be protected if sugar
under No. 16 was admitted free.
,Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania; said
that the agricultural interests of the
country was in a state of depression,
and just as that interest was begin
ning to be diversified by the raising
of sugar beets and sorghum, it was
proposed tht the whole policy of the
government in relation to sugar
should be changed and that bounties
should be granted. He did not be
lieve in it- '
Mr. Peters, of Kansas, was opposed
to. the bounty system for fear! that
capitalists not knowing whit moment
the bounty might be withdrawn,
wOiild hesitate to risk their money in
tbe indue ry of nuiir p'oduciion. A

Paris, July b. lhe police have
seized at tbe house of M. Dufeille,
the director of the Orleanist J'ress,
copies , or a letter written by tue
C&mt of Paris to the conservative
mayors of France in which he says:
xou nave to protect municipal lib
erties and finances against an ex
travagant and tyrannical administra
tion which is the williog tool of a
fartywh;ch compromises the Repub
ie and wh ch will cause its downfall.
The day is near at hand when we
must all unite to reconstitute and
establish the government of France
upon a durable basis. The Republic
has not given the communes the
liberty it promised them. The
Republicans consider any means
justifiable to secure for tnem-
selves a majority in the municipal
councils. The Commune is thus
divided into the oppressors and the
oppressed. It is subjected to a sys
tem of obligatory budgets. It no
longer disposes independently of its
resources, end parents no longer con
trol the education of their children.
Ah ephemeral government may prom
ise t'o restore your lost liberties, but
do not expect it to be able to keep
its promise. Its first care would
rathe be to destroy tbe liberties re
maining to you. Monarchy alone
can restore to you jour lost liberties
and establish order m tbe communes
and in the state."

Wilson, N. C, June 5th, 1888.:
Messrs. B. II. Bunn, W. T. Ennett
and G. G. Luke:
Gentlemen: With a just appre
ciation of the high honor conferred
upon me and the great confidence
reposed in me by the representatives
.of the Democratic party of North
Carolina, I accept the nomination for
Associate justice oi tne cupreme
Court, that you are commissioned to
tender.
Knowing that one, who properly
fills so exalted a position, must be
ee from the exciting influences of
political strife, I still recognize the
right of a party, whose conservatism
has won the confidence ofjour people,
to provide through us organization
for manning all of the judicial as
well as executive offices of the State
government with its own trusted
men.
This plan is consistent with the
fixed faith, that, in the future as in
the past, justice will be as fairly
meted out to all classes of citizens m
North Carolina, as in any IS ate in the
Union.
Allow me through you to tender
my sincere thanks to the Democratic
state convention and to the hosts of
people, for whose weal and under
whose instruction they acted.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I must
thank you for the very kind terms in
which you communicated the message
from the body you represent. It is
moreover gratifying to me in the ex
treme, that a committee, composed of
friends whom I have honored and
trusted for years -"has been the
chosen medium of correspondence
between the convention and myself.
With the highest esteem and kind
est feeling,
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
A. C. A VERY.
Alexander, N. C-, June 8. 1888.
Messrs. B. II. Bunn, A. T, Ennett
and G. G. Buke, Baleigh, N. C.
Gentlemen: I am in receipt of
vour letter of 1st inst. in which you
state that you are commissioned by the
State Democratic convection to noti
fy me of my "nomination for Attorney
General of North Carolina.
. I accept the nomination witn pro
found gratitude and pride. I trust
that in the coming political campaign
I may have frequent opportunity to
testify my si use of the honor con
ferred upon me, and to contribute
something to the struggle which the
Democratic party is again called up
on to make in the maintenance of
pure local and general government
Thanking you for the kind expres
sions accompanying the formal noti
fication of my nomination.
I am most truly &e,

Messrs. B. U. Bunn, W. 1 Emutt

'Gestuxex I am in receipt of your
much esteemed favor of the 1st inst.
notifying me of my nomination by
the State convention of the Demo
cratic party, lately in session at Ral
eigh, to an associate justiceship on
our.Supreme Bench, should the pro
posed amendment, inc leasing the
number of such justices, be ratified.
It would be the pride, as it shall
be the effort of my life, to merit the
gratifying expressions by which you
have chosen to indicate your estimate
of my fitness for this high position.
While sincerely entertaining for my
own part a widely different concep
tion of my capacities, I am so far
encouraged to trust myself, by the
high opinion of men whose opinion
is' every where valued, as to venture
to dedicate my humbie powers to the
service of the State, if to this honor
able position her sovereign people
should call me.
In this spirit I accept the nooiina
tion. The law has been from my
boyhood up the study, the beloved
Eursuit, of my life ; promotion to its
onors my chief ambition. If invited
to go up higher in my profession, I
shall approach the grave duties of
the position with an earnest resolu
tion to discbarge them uprightly and
worthily.
I am profoundly grateful to the
convention for the high honor , which
it has bestowed upon me.
Very truly,
Your obedient servant,
Jas. E. Shepherd.

wr. o( the News and Observer.
Wilson, N. C , July 4.
Charles B. Aycock. Esq., of (Jolds
boro, delivered a fine address before
the 4Cleveland-Fowle Club of this
place last night. A large crowd was
present and listened attentively to
his brilliant and forceful argument in
favor of Democracy.
Mr. Aycock is one of the best po
litical speakers in North Carolina, and
his speech last night "strengthened
our faith, confirmed our hope, and
comforted us in our love" for the
Democratic party. J. F. B.

The speech of Gen. Ben. Harrison
at Indianapolis, Wednesday, in re
sponse to thenotification by the com
mittee appointed for that purpose of
his nomination. as the Republican can
didate for President, was unpreten
tious and uninspiring. It may be
that Gen. Harrison was somewb'
unnerved by a singular expression .
Judge Estee, the chairman of the no
tification committee, who, among
other things, said: "It is true that
distinguished gentleman, well known
to the "people, who were experienced
in public affairs, Illustrious in char
acter and worthy of the people's con
fidence and support, were before the
convention as candidates, and
yet yon were chosen." Gen. Harri
son said he "accepted the nomination
with so deep a sense of the dignity of
tne ota.ee and of the gravity of its
duties and responsibilities as alto
gether to exclude any feeling of ex
ultation and pride." He expressed
the opinion that the issues before the
people wonld excite unusual popular
interest in tne campaign, and, as us
ual with speakers of the Republican
faith, claimed for that party the eman
cipation of the colored race. He said
he had read the Republican platform,
and that its declarations were in har
mony with his own views. Gen. Har
rison promised at an early day to
communicate by letter a more formal
acceptance of the nomination.
