Ransom in Snow Hill. ;
It was in y good fortune to lie in
Snow Hill on Tuesday, and it was
also my great pleasure to hear the
sweet voiced, lute toned Tully
speak. Posters, '. stuck about
upon trees annoinicing the fact
that the seholarly! and talented
Ransom would lie in town on Tues
day, had the tremendous effect of
drawiug together a large crowd,
and notwithstanding the day w as
dark and rainy, the people
began to flock to town at an early
hour and the announcement aliove
noted' was the maguet to which the
needle of . every thought' was di-(
rected. This fact alone attested
the high esteem in which he is. held
by his fellow citizens, and showed
how royally he reigns o'er the realm
of their feelings. And while the
fullest tribute was paid to Ransom,
the people did nor forget to "render
unto Ca'sar the things which be
longeth unto Ciesar," and the
name of the gifted Vance was fre
quently mentioned with the. 'same
breath of enthusiastic admiration.
Ransom and Vance, par nobile
fratrum, the pride of their State,
and the tearless spirits of that
arena, where Titans meet in com
bat. It is no worder then that the
masses came through mud and
mire and rain and storm to hear
the noble Ransom speak. And
after hearing him and ceiitrasting
his powerful effort with the mighty
ones of Vance, it is difficult to tell
"under which king, oh Bezonian"
shall the banner of preference be
planted. Ahdyet there is no rivalry
between them. Both are crowned,
but the garlands they wear are
woven with flowers entirely differ
ent. Vance in. the towering fortress
of his granite logic, and Ransom in
the citadel of liislieautifuuv chisled
rhetoric are grand, i unapprnach
able and siiiueme. The oratory of
one is like the magnificent coitus
cations of: a flashing; meteor bril
liant, dazzling thrilling and glori
ous; while that of the j other is like
the .magnificent beaining of. tin
stately7 evening star chaste, bright,
steady, serene and lieautiful. The
language of one is like a mountain

while that of the otheiv is like the

spheres and lnith reign o'er them
with kingly grace and power. -

aiid after thanking Capf.Darden for
the complimentary terms employed
he paid an apostrophe to truth
and stated that that virtue would
lie the pole star in all the assertions
he should make on that occasion.
He noticed his recent visit through
portions of the State, and spoke of
the evidences of thrift, of improve
ment', of prosperity, of peace, of
happiness which greeted his vision
along the line of travel, and con
trasted it with the distressing seens
of ten vears ago. when -paralysis
f upon the limbs of energy,
when the clouds of depression
gathered every where, and when
disorder, confusion and corruption
ran riot on every hand. And what
was the cause of the change? We
have the same fruitful fields, the
same gentle showers, the same soft
sunshine, the same sweet atmos
phere and the same benign being
who rules o'er the just and the un
just. But now w e have a tuttereut
government, aud the beneficent
change must lie credited to that.
Judicial corruption and military
terrorism ruled the day; now reform,
economy, justice, peace and pros

and iiaimonv dwells 'amid all sec

these eriods, ly. asked if there
was" a 'white, man, lie he Democrat
or Lilieral, or Republican w ho could
put his hand upon his heart and de

lieVing it can now be done, without
myj motives lieing misunderstood,
I yLsh to make some statements
relative to mj- own course as well
well as to the motives of the l"feni-
oerats of the last Legislature cou-
ceriiing prohibition. 1 '
By way of preface, I would state
that - the; evils of intern iienilice or
thei abuses of ardent spirits are
sufficientlr alarming to elicit the
eai nest concern of every good 'citi
een, but w hile this is so, I never
thought prohibition the remedy, or
that prohibition would really pro
hibit. In my opinion the great
and good God created all things to
le proiierly used. .Through any
preference of my own, I ' never
voted for either local or general
prohibition. Having previously
voted to submit the question of
"prohibition or no iffohibitiouV to
the! people, 'I chose? not to exer-

ci'se the little influence I might ljave
had and neither voted nor said any.
thing the one way nor the other,
while the question was being de
cided by the people last year. In
the Legislature, I voted for local
prohibition whenever I was satis1
tied from the best evidence I cqnld
get, that those concerned wanted
prohibition. I regret that the ma
jority about Saratoga, was not rep
resented. It was owing to two
causes. -First. The opponents 'did
not send in their protest until after
the bill had passed the House near
the end of the session. Had -the
protest which clearly showed the
majority -was against prohibition
beeni sent in in time, Saratoga
would not have been included in'the
local prohibition bill at all. Sec
ondly. After thh protest, a very
strong one, was received and I had
the bill so corrected as to uncover
Saratoga, which I cau prove, and
which will appear by referring: to
the engrossed bill that passed the
House, it was not so published in
the laws. I desired and strove, in
all these matters, to represeut the
majority, aud would 'not have im
posed prohibition on any section
nor refused prohibition to any sec
tion that I was certain wanted; it.
My idea is that a representative
should represent, and secure for the j
people if possible' what they want.
1 voted fcr the general prohibi
tion bill, not through any prefer
ence for' that particular, hill, Vjnt
just as I should have done under
the circumstances, had it been ex
pressed in almost any ojrher wortls,
so long as it had contained the
phrase to be submitted o the people
I therefore voted yea on that bill,
in common with most Democrats
and Ii presume a good many Re
puplicans, simply to get the ;jll
nhsorhiug question of prohibition,
liefore the only proper tribunal to
decide it, viz: the'cople, .Time
has shown the wisdom of that vote.
For thereby the question has lieen
effectually settled and is no lon'gjer
a disturber of parties nor people, jn
this State. I fear not to assert
that no prohibition bill, without the
clause to lie submitted to the -people
could have lieCn framed, thit
would have passed both houses of
the last Legislature- It w ill be remembered-
that that Legislature
was largely Democratic and tlie
fact that it -did not pass a prohibi
tory law is positive proof that the
Democrats were either not pro
hibitionists or not disHsed to force
prohibition on the people. Had
they been prohibitionists or un
mindful of the will of the people,
they could have passed a law oh
that subject. j
Anti-prohibitionists can not fail tjo
see that the Democrats of the last
Legislature did not forget thelo,
amidj the storm of pr)hibitijn
excitement and constant pour of
prohibition etitions, but so ar
ranged allthey did on that subject
bilitv of his n .course on
subject. j j i .. - 'j
The only member of the last.
Legislature that I heard openly !
advocating the! passage of an aut
and out prohibition law, not ; to be
submitted to tjie people, was Mr.
Bowman, i Representative V from
Mitchell county!, a leading Republi
can. He was chairman of the com
mittee, that represented aud re
commend the passage of the bill
that was subniii ted to the people.
In conclusion I simply ask those
who may represent me in the fu
ture to give md the same chance I
gave them and all others. Iu all
eases when extraordinary changes
in our laws:tr cpstoms are proposed
let me chose aud -vote for myself,
and my word lor it, I shall never
complain of individuals or parties.
