Chvlotte Chronicle, 17th. Yesterday was the biggest day Mount Holly ever knew, and about as large a one as that place may expect again for some time to come. The feature of the day was a discussion of political issues. Three speeches were made, two by Congressmen J. II. (rear, of Iowa, and B. W. Perkins, of Kanaas, and one by Senator Matt W. Ransom, one of North Carolina's most distinguished eons. At the time the programme for the day was arranged, nothing was known of Senator Ransom's intended visit, and his appearance on tbe grounds waa a most delightful surprise. Ik was ex pected that the speaking would begin at two o clock in tbe afternoon. Messrs. Gear and Peck ns arrived here at noon on Wednesday, and left 7.30 o'clock yesterday morning for Mount Holly. Senator Ransom arrived here on the noon train from Washington, and after dinner at the Central Ho tel he was escorted to the Carolina Central depot, where engine 27 stood coupled to a passenger coach ready to hurry the distinguish ed. North Carolinian away to Mount Holly with all the speed of steam. Mt. Holly was reached at 2 .30 o'clock, but there a very grievous disappointment awaited Senator Ran som. When a Chronicle reporter told him that Congressmen Gear and Perkins had not only made their speeches but had already left on the return to their homes, the effect upon the Senator was one of sincere and unmistakable disappointment- He was loaded for them and his disappoint ment at not being able to meet them face to face was too sore to conceal. He made his speech, however, and those who heard him know that it was well for the Republican speakers that they had emptied their wind bags ahead of time, and escaped a conflict with Ransom, for our Senator had come prepared for a big job and was in the finest trim imaginable. From those who were present at the speaking in the forenoon the re porter learned that Messrs. Gear and ferkins were listened to in a most respectful manner, though they were at times interrupted by cheers for Cleveland. Both of them confined their remarks strictly to a discussion upon the tariff, though Perkins made an effort to array the blacks aga nst the whites. One of the arguments which he used to this end was that the whites intended and were plan ning to starve them out by the im portation of pauper labor. Gear and Perkins evidently gave it up as a bad job,for they left Mt. Holly on an early train. Now we come to speak of Senator Ransom His Appearance on the platform of the car when it reached Mt. Holly, was the signal for a gen uine ovation. He was escorted to the hotel while arrangements for his speech were pending, and within a very few minutes the news of his ar rival bad spread far and near. When Senator Ransom and his escort reached the arbor a crowd of 3,000 was gathered there to greet him, and and his appearance evoked a mighty and an enthusiastic cheer. When quiet was restored, Col. Jasper Stowe's commanding form appeared above the shoulders of those in front, and in a few well chosen words he introduced Senator Ransom. The Senator then came forward and proceeded to deliver what proved to be one of the most powerful political speeches ever heard in this State in any campaign. After paying a tribute to the historical memories of Mecklenburg and Gas ton connties, he explained that he was summoned here unexpectedly. He had heard whisperings that two distinguished representatives of the Republican party would be here to address the farmers of this section, but at first he thought nothing of it. Wednesday afternoon, however, when he received information that they were actually here, he dropped every-1 thing, important and pressing as bis engagements then happened to be,and came here on the first train. Political speaking at an agricultural meeting was something new to nim; it was none of his seeking; he would rather talk to the people about farming and about domestic affairs, or he would prefer to talk to the old soldiers, but the issue had been forced upon him and he intended to meet it to tbe best of his ability. Senator Itansom then opened his speech proper. He regretted that he had not arrived in time to hear the speeches of MessrB. Gear and Per kins, and to meet them face to face before our people. He then asked the audience what questions had been discussed by these speakers, and the answers came up : "They gave us tariff" and "free trade and pro tection." Senator Ransom then sailed into the distinguished gentle- I men and knocked both of them clear nnt of the rinjy on the first round. It is a fact that he crushed them at the very outset of his speech. In tones that would have paralyzed these apostleB of Radicalism, the Senator held them both up as hypocrites, though he did not use that word. lie turned to the Congressional Record of May 13th, page 2488, and quoted Gear's speech to show that Gear had opposed the Mills bill because it con tained provisions that would benefit tbe "Solid South," and was a direct blow to Northern sections where the bulk of the Republican votes came from. He then turned to tbe Con gressional Record of June 10, page fi.491. and auoted Perkins' Bpeech to show that ha oppored the passage of the Mills bill,lbecause it "waa gotten up in the interests of Wall street and the Solid South." Could the people of Gaston and Mecklenburg be umu enced by the soft words of men who made such speeches in Congress? Ask the Republicans even, if they would be willing to take their advice- Is there an honest Republican in Gaston who could favor . i x i-ii men wno spoae against viu because it was too favorable to the South' He thought it inconsiderate on the part of Messrs. Gear and Per kins to come down here among the people whom they had helped to op- A REVELATION ABOUT A WICK ED LOUISIANA TOWN . enemy the South has ever know spurned the idea that it was tho'a in tention to help the South. If he had them here he would ask them why they did not influence the North to do justice to the South in -the time of oiir great distrest' Alter seeing the -South wronged: and oppressed and trod under foot for sixteen long year,, these two distinguished Re publicans now profess great love for tbe South. 'Why did they not. appeal to Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur to do us justice? Senator Ransom then eloquently reviewed the treatment of the South at the hands of - the Re publican party, detailing events in the administration of Grant, Hayes, Gar field and Arthur, and showed bow greatly things had changed for the better for the South from the day that Cleveland was inaugurated. Bayard, (Jar land and Lamar: were all placed in high offices and it was the first time since 18C1 that the South has been given a fair, equal and just proportion of representation. It is not the office or the profit, but it is the justice and honor to the people of tne South. Why should not the South have her share in the. govern meat of this countr The Republi cans aay that we ait not fit to hold office and we should have none. Wash ington, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall Jackson, Taylor", Cilhoun, Clay Badger and Gaston were all South erners. The Sou:h furnished soldiers tha fought the batt es of thellevolu tion, she has furnished the; greatest scholars, statesmen, orators' and he roes, and her name all ever ihe world is good for truth and honor. Why then, for sixteen years, was she shut out.; How we would have loved yoti then,. Gear and Perkins, had you then raised your voices in our behalf! Con tinuing in this strain, Senator Ran som continued paying his respec-s to the Republican representatives. He would not for any consideration utter a wOrd o breed sectionalism, but his love for the South and her people had to be spoken. His picture of the con dition of the South and the events of the period of sixteen years, when bad Northern men, and some .bad South ern men, aided by ignorant' and un fortunate colored people, and when Gear and 1 erkins were helping the combination to crush out everything eood in the South, was one of the most eloquent that ever fell from the lips of a speaker- His arraignment of the Republican party for passing law after law against the South, and which laws were, declared by a Su preme court consisting of i eight Re publicans and one Democrat to be un constitutional was severe and had a telling effect. He touched quite effectively upon the battle flag inci dent, and then got in a point on the Republican national ticket. ; He said that if Mr. Gear was here, he would ask him this question : If he were livinc in North Carolina and were either a Democrat or a Republi can,: would he vote for Harrison and Morton? But I would go on and state one fact. A, suit ib now pend ing in the United States; Supreme Court, in which the plaintiff is Juor ton, Bliss & Co., of which Levi P Morton is the senior partner, and the defendant is the State and people of North Caro'ina The suit is for some thing over $13,000,000, money which corrupt Northern adventurers under took to put upon the State of North Carolina in 18b8-b9, and upon an issue which has been declared uncon stitutional. If he were living here would he vote for a ticket whose sec ond man is suing and trying to make the (State pay $13,000,000 which it does not owe ? If an honest man, he couldn't stand up and Bay- be would vote tor it. ii Morton was suing Iowa, would Gear support bis ticket ? Ask: Ucar. Jf Morton was suing Kanbap, would Perkins support his ticket ? Ask Perkins. Senator Ran som here took occasion to affirm, ia most unmistakable terms, his fealty to the Union. He said hoped we would never have anotho yar, but if occasion arose he and the Southern people would be quick to! shoulder their muskets in the ca'ise of the Union and fight under the stars and stripes, and he wouldn't want any thing better than a regiment of North Carolinians to march with. : His trib ute to the loyalty and patsictlsm of the South was eloquent. Senator Ransom made an ad mi r a ble defense of President Cleveland against Republican cha.if-i. Refer ring to the matt 1. 1 oi vuiuts of Federal pension bills, he stated that more Union soldiers have been paid pen sions by 15,000,000 per year under Cleveland's administration than under the Republican administration. Com' ing down to the subject of the tariff, the Senator made that question a par ticularly interesting and instructive one, and his defense of the Democrat ic policy waa the most convincing that we have yet heard. On the tar iff question Ransom is at ease, and his speech, if published in full, would make a most excellent campaign doc ument. Senator .Ransom Spoke for two hours, and hundreds of men who had crowded around did sot move from their tracks. He spoke under great disadvantages, yet hej scored a signal success. The people who heard him will not soon forget his ad mirable effort. It was a great speech, a telling speech, and the very kind that, needB to be heard all over the State. Senator Ransom U entitled to the thanks of all who ; love the principles of the Democratic party for his visit among us yesterday. A MODERN NINEVEH.

The following appears in the last issue of the Raleigh Chronicle: At the earnes solicitation of many friend, and after mature and prayer- iui renoction, 1 teg to withdraw my name as candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction on the Pro hibition ticket In the lengthening shadows of evening, nearing mv "three score years and ten," the es teem of my friends is more than ever dear to me. This, I am sure I should lose in a measure by my can didacy, while I am now convinced that evil would result thereby, both to prohibition and to my fiiends and . fellow-citizens in the State. I think my friends in North Carolina will testify that during my life I have never hesi'.a'ed to follow where duty pointed the way. The nomination came under the guise of duty and I accepted. I now plainly Bee thatthia present Thiid party movement will not only imperil the white man s su premacy in the South, but it will damage the cause' of prohibition almost incalculably. Since the war, when I voted at all, my ballot haa always been cast in favor of De mocracy: -and as I am now, and always have been in full sym pathy with that party on every question except that or License, if, as is plainly to be seen, one of the old political parties must tri umph in this contest, I shall not allow myself to be used as an instrumen tality in putting my mends in North Carolina under the dominion of ne gro rule. Hence, I hereby decline the candidacy and withdraw from tbe Third party, and earnestly recom mend my life long friend and brother, Mai. a M. Finger, who ia a (Jhnstiau gentleman, a prohibitionist and a scholar, to all my prohibition breth ren in the State. In the present situation, I earnestly advise the withdrawal of the prohi bition ticket in North Carolina, and the support of Democracy in the present contest. We cannot afford to impose negro supremacy upon our fellow citizens. In an off year, (next year, if you please), I earnestly beg all good men of all parties to unite with me, out side of politics, in putting this infamy of all infamies, the liquor traffic, out of our State. I am now an old man. Most of my life lies in the past ; how it has been consecrated to humanity tbe people know. And in this fight against the arch enemy of earth and heaveD, though my sword be powerless as Friam s, it shall strme lor uoa anu the right. Yours truly, R. L. Abebnethy.
