Jg"I am for McKinley, Russell and Gold," says Oscar J, Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Electpr-at-Large. , "I desire to meet Mr. Russell on the hustings of North Carolina. I want the people to hear us and de cide between me and what I repre sent, and what I think he represents. With their decision I shall be con tent. If elected Governor "i'of your State, I shall see that every man, no matter what his station in life or what his politics, is given every priv ilege granted him by the Constitution of North Carolina:" Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor, THE PEOPLE VS. THE PLTJTO CEACY. The Democratic party has - always. been the party of the people, that's what the name means. The Repub lican party claims to be the party of the people, has always made loud profession of devotion to the people, but its career has been one of base hypocrisy and a ruthless betrayal of the people in the interest of mono polies and combines, which have con trolled it almost from the day of its birth, but never more than now. The difference between . the two parties has always been quite appa rent, but never more than in the is sues that now divide them. G"oing . back to the early struggles between . the parties just after the war, we flnd the( Democratic party contend ing!' for the rights of the people of 'the Southern States whom the leaders of the Republican party re . garded as a subjugated people 'and and for whom they claimed the right to legislate and to govern as. a conquered people. True to its mis- aiuu u hue paiijr ui iuc jjcujjic luc Democratic5 party came to the res cue of the people of the South, when . there was not one single Democratic S ate in the North and although for , the time being hopeless of victory made the fight for the people against their would-be ; oppressors flushed . with triumph and arrogant . and im perious in their strength. There never was a day since then that, the Democratic party failed to cham pion the cause of the Southern peo ple when efforts were made to op- Dress them bv nfrtism or nrncrrin. s," r ------- tive legislation. Aside from the plotting politicians who worked for party supremacy because, that meant their own gain, the two dominant factors in the Re publican party were1 the manufac turers, who secured ithrough it such legislation as they desired, and the money" powers, which secured through jit the legislation which enabled them to hold control of the money system of the country and: to shape jlts fiaancial policies as they thought best. (With them ihe best way was always; the way that put the most money into their coffers. ( It was the Representatives of the Republican party who in the first few'yearsof its rule gave awav in bonuses to railroads lands of the . public domain equal in area to four or five States like North Carolina. It was the Representatives of the Republican party .who after selling thousands of millions of Government Donas tor less than half their face value, to syndicates composed of forelgners-and "patriotic" Republl ; cans, three years after the war de clared that these bonds, redeemable j n "lawiul money," were redeemable ' in "coin." It was the Representatives of the Kepublican party who began the policy pf contracting thecurrencv bv . reducing or funding and destroying v the greenbacks, and continued it . until a Democratic Congress stormed J it ad required the re-issuing of the 1 greenbacks redeemed. 11 was the Representatives of the Republican party who demonetized silver in 1873 and thus made the bonds which they had declared re- j . .. " ueemame, in "com,;" redeemable in gold. . . ' - It was the Representatives of the ing the Bland free coinage bill in 1878, favored a compromise in the : Bland Allison bill which provided for limited coinage. : It was the Representatives of the Republican party who after twelve - years repealed . the " Bland Allison law, and .through cowardice hn - they heard from the people passed the substitute Sherman bill, and it was the Representatives of the Re publican party who three years later repealed the parchaseVclause of that bill, for itvneyer couM nave been done, without providing for the tree coinage of si ver, if tbey had not supported and voted for" the repeal. And in the meantime it: was tne Representatives of the . Republican party who foiced upon the country the protective tariff, increasing tne duties every time they touched them, and squeezed hundred of millions of dollars annually out of the people for khe benefi' of the protected manu facturers. It was the Representatives of the Republican party who piled up the pensions, not from the love of the soldier, but to secure his vote, until we pay more in pensions than half a dozen of the leading nations ot Europe combined, counting the pen sioners of all their wars. And now the leaders of that party cap the climax of. a story of hypoc risy and treachery to the people by going over bodily to the protected manufacturers, represented by Mark Hanna, the Mentor of McKinley, and to the bosses of Wall street, whose spokesmen at St. Louis dictated the gold plank r'on which McKinley stands with one foot while the other rests upon the protection plank dictated by Mark Hanna and the set he represents. This is the Republican party, in brief, as it was and is. In what strik ing contrast to the Democratic party, which has fought the" com bines and championed the cause of the toiling millions as it is doing to day, notwithstanding the fact that there are some within its lines claim ing to be spokesmen and leaders who would surrender to the most unscru pulous and merciless of the com binesthe money power. But there will be no surrender, for the Demo cratic party is fighting the battles of the people against grasping greed and merciless monopolies. MUrOS MENTION. In the interview with Mr. Ben T. Cable, of Illinois, published in. the Star yesterday, from- the New York Journal, a gold standard paper, he not only gives up Illinois as sure to go for free silver by an immense ma jority, but predicts that "this silver craze is going to, become as domi nant in the East as it is to-day in the West." The gold men have given themselves little thought about the East, but have taken it for granted that these States would be solid for gold in the November election, and it was not until lecently that they realized the tact that free silver had any foothold there. But they have no idea yet how strong that foothold is and probably will not have until the campaign opens and warms up and the free silver men begin to take a hand in the fight. It isrnot surprising that they should not have realized the strength of this movement, for while in the West and in the South the agitation and organization were pushed openly, in the East there was no agitation, and the organization was carried on quietly to avoid attracting the atten tion of those strong enough to im pede if not crush it by intimidation and other methods which they might have resorted to. While we believed there was a stroug free silver senti ment among the masses of the East, we confess that we did not know ; that it - was so organized as to become a potent factor until we were recently put in possession of information by a gen tleman who has been actively en gaged in the work of organization. showing how the work had been sys tematically pursued, and that where the clubs originally numbered but a few they now number hundreds; but they are making no . noise, and giv Ing out no signs by which the oppo sition can estimate their strength. The work of organization has been, to use a current phrase, "a still hunt," and when the votes are counted in November there will be a good many more surprised gold men than there are now. Ex-Governor Waller, of Connecti cut, didn't do either his discretion or his Democracy any credit when be permitted himself, in his speech ad vocating the seating of Senator Hill as temporary chairman of the con vention, to indulge' in threats as to what the gold men might do in the convention and afterwards. If the gold men had a majority in that con vention ex-Governor Waller and they who are co-operating with him would question the Democracy of any delegate or delegation which re fused to abide by the decision of the majority. The movers of that meet ing of gold men referied to in the dispatches, to discuss the question as to what the gold men should do, whether they should bolt and put out ; an independent gold ticket &c, put themselves in the same un-Democratic position that ex-Governor Waller did, and by such talk simply advertised to the world that they are not Democrats; that they are simply conditional Demo crats; Democrats provided they can have their way, dictate the platform and name the candidates. They-can neither justify nor defend their course by claiming that they are standing by party principle ana tra dition, and that the majority is swinging away "from both, for this is not true. If the Democratic party was ever committed to any one thing more than another it has been to the use of both gold and silver as standard moneys of the country, and 'no representa tive Democrat up to this time was ever heard to declare for gold as the sole standard of value - and only money of final redemption. Where- ever the party has spoken - on that question, it has unequivocally pro nounced for the double standard. All the friends of silver now demand is that the party be consistent with its record, be true to its declarations and put silver back to the position it occupied before the Republican law makers degraded it. - There is no de parture from Democratic landmarks in this. It is a principle of the party by which the true Democracy has always stood and stands to-day. - BOOK NOTICES.

Judging from this copy it is a very in teresting publication, the character of matter presented being varied and en tertaining.

It will gratify the pride of every American citizen to know that the fleet of fighting ships, soon to go through a series of evolutions on the Atlantic coast, Is with a single exception, the strongest : fleet in the world. In the event of foreign com plications, with Spain for instance, assurances of having such powerful engines of war for bur national pro tection would make us feel compar atively comfortable. Petersburg Index-Appeal, Dem.- Major VcKtnley is beginning to realize that in attempting to drag the tariff question to the front he is tugging at a dead horse and some of the leaders of his party have already hinted that he had better drop it at once. Senator Quay is the first one to speak out plainly, he says "The currency will be the issue exclusive ly. The tariff will be a nonentity and it is a mistake in McKinley to be the last man to see this." New Orleans States. , The trouble with Mr. Belmont is that he is too much in sympathy with tbe banks and not enough in sympathy with the people. He would have the Democracy at Chicago recommend that the greenback once paid in gold sbalrhever be re-issued. and "devise a plan for safe and sound bank notes." That is to say, he would have the nation loaded with a perpetual interest-bearing debt of $500,000,000, in order that the banks may step in . and earn interest on $500,000,000 of their own notes is sued at the bare cost of paper and printing.- JY.

Latham, of Blount's Creek, says the Democrats are standing flatfooted with their hats on the back of their heads like Tom Hannaford, that the free silver wave will sweep his sec tion, regardless of party, like a tidal wave, that the country people want free silve and the party that will give it to them will get their votes. A terrible accident occurred on the farm of Dr. D. T. Taylor Tues day afternoon. The nine or ten-year old daughter' of Jack Latham, col ored, attempted to light the fire in the stove by pouring kerosene oil on it, when the, can exploded! and she was burned so badly that she died in a few hours. . i -. .-, APPOINTMEN 8 WILMINGTON DIS- :' TRICT. !

W. asks this question: "Is the pronunciation of j d-e-a-f as def ' due to 1 any other cause I than Anglomania? Forty years ago, and even less, the common pronunciation in this country was 'deef.' . Webster's Dictionary of 1855 confirms this 'statement, and men tions that 'def ' is common in England. The same dictionary refers to the rhymes of Chaucer and Watts to show that the earjy pronunciation was 'deef in Eng land also." t I I' I The new English dictionary, edited by J. A. H. Murrayf thus treats; of the pronunciation of; deaf ("def"); "The original diphthong remains in northern dialects. In standard English the vowel was long until the modern period, and . so late as 1717-8, it was rhymed with 'relief,' by Prior ;and Watts. The pro nunciation ('dif,' with 'i long,) is still widely diffused dialectioally, and in tbe United States. . In many English dialects the ea 1 is still diphthongal) 'deeei.

' I was not a religious man, but never bishop or parson prayed with greater fervor. Prom 1848 till now is a long time, hut I v still wake in the night, though Toot eo often as I once did, after fighting that battle-over again. It was In -1848, .and -I belonged to the Nine teenth ; Hussars, the one white oavalry regiment operating in the second Sikh war. That war lasted only 60 days, but it had more fighting compressed into it than many a three years' campaign. While the suffering was greater in the Crimea, the fighting never was harder. A cavalryman, away from his horse is like a fish out of water, and they bad not mounted infantry in those days, so it was with a bad grace that we, whose horses had been lost at Chillian-Wallah and Sobraon, found ourselves attached to the Twenty-fourth infantry and guard ing supplies while the regiment pushed on. : ' - i "There were two companies of the Twenty-fourth and about a troop of our men, some of us wounded, but able to dc work which did not necessitate march ing. The camp was in a deserted temple, which allowed some protection from at tack, and also contained a large tank. This water would have startled peoplo at home, but we were glad to have it, such as it was. I was not a nervous man ; I had been in the first line at Sadoolapbor, but when I found myself doing picket duty in the early morning on the outer edge of the temple bounda ries I devoutly wished myself safe be yond the sea, under the shadow of St Paul's. The moon was shining bright ly, but I stood in the shadow of one of the two tall pillars peculiar to those temples. It was clear as day elsewhere, but still as the grave, and I would have welcomed the howls of the jackal, but they were all away following the army. No obstruction prevented my seeing in all directions, but it was this very thing which chilled my heart. An open foe could be met, bat, though for two nights the sentries at this post had never re turned alive, nothing of a struggle had been heard. The body of one of them bad been found lying in the temple tank only that morning.- Oh, for my good horse, which I had seen hamstrung by a keen Baluchi blade I I had now been on duty an honr, and nothing had happen ed. Tho early morning hours, the hard est of all, were here, and my mind had unconsciously gone on with the regiment' and in spirit I was near the gates of Lahore, when I thonght I heard a muffled sound. I closely scanned the ground around, but I could see nothing, and, though I listened, while the perspiration came off in big beads, though it was a cool night for India, the sound was not repeated. V. i I had begun to think that I was mis taken and that my nervousness had alarmed me and was laughing at 'my foars, when once more I heard distinctly .the sound as of a camel's soft foot, al most noiseless. Wheeling around the next moment, I saw for an instant a fig ure stealing toward me in the shadow of the temple tower and hardly .to be dis cerned from it It was between me and my friends, but what was it? Much larger than a man it seemed. Should I fire and give tbe alarm, or should I wait ? In those days we had only muzzle loaders, and to are without the shot tell ing meant to have nothing but the bay onet to depend on.- I raised my musket and fired. No motion, and I reloaded while the guard hurried down from camp.and all was bustle and preparation. Qoing cautiously forward we1 found what appeared in the dim light to be a black bear, but pulling it into the moon light a large crooked blade shone out from one of its paws. The next day we found a hole in the ground, which in the day was covered by a stone slab, leading down to a canal which connect ed with the tank in tbe temple, and in this canal were the bodies of three of our sentries, with their throats cut The mystery of the floating body was solved. Chicago Times-Herald. A College Student as Blacksmith. At Cornell all the mechanical engi neering students have to learn seven trades. One of these trades, that of blacksmith, is very distasteful to some of the students, but, it has to be learned all the same. One young fellow, who was unusually averse to soiling bis hands, begged bard to be exempted from wearing the leather apron, but the pro fessor took special care that there was nothing lacking in thoroughness of his training at the forge. j Last fall the student went to the pro fessor and thanked him for being com pelled to learn blacskmitbing. "You see," he said, "I am now superintend ent of a mine away back in Colorado. Last summer our main shaft broke and there was no one in the mine but myself who could weld it. I didn t like the job. but took off my coat and welded that shaft. It wasn't -a protty job, but she's running now. , : , "If I couldn't have done it, I'd hayo had to pack that fihaf t on mule back and send it 800 miles over the mountains to be fixed, and the mine would have had to shut down till it got back.
