Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbors, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like ' to pay no wages at all. (Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August 18th.) A DEGRADING CAMPAIGN. As far as we know the history of political campaigns in this country, there is none, in as far as the Repub lican methods are concerned, and the methods of their so-called Democratic allies, which approaches this in all the elements of degradation. It has been a campaign from the beginning of shame, hypocrisy and nauseating sideshow. The man who is running it is a cold blooded, calculating man. entirely devoid of anything like fine sentiment, one who takes a business like view of the situation and runs the campaign for McKinley in the same cool, matter-of-fact -way that P. T. Barnum ran "the greatest show in the world," Our opinion is that as a show-manager Barnum : has pretty clever successor in Mark Hanna, who plays men instead of animals and freaks. We do not think . there is another man in the United States who would have essayed the role he has, and he would not have done it if had not the coarse, callous nature that makes him insensible of the proprieties or of the feeling "of shame. There isn't one man in a million to begin with who would have re sorted to the methods that be did to secure this nomination of his candi date, and Mr. McKinley, who now poses at his Canton shrine as a mode! of uprightness, of morality and na- ' tional honor, was fully aware of those methods and gave them his tacit If not avowed acquiescent. When charged by the supporters of other Republican candidates with levying assessments upon manufac tares to stock delegations to support McKinley in the National Conven - tlop, he denied the leveying, but ad miKcd the receiving of "contriba- tions," and when his man was noml nated he had the cheek to admit that McKinley's- nomination . cost $100, 000, $40,000 of which was contributed by himself and the remainder by others - manufacturers who expect to get it back as Hanna does if McKin ley be elected. - '. In the way of moral sensibility much could not be expected from such a man and no one is surprised at the methods he is resorting to. He knows the history of his party well enough to know that it has al ways depended much on money to carry elections, and recognizing the, emergencies of this one he early set to work to accumulating. an enor mous campaign fund, and has been so successful In this that the proud boast Is made that he has more money at his disposal than any Chairman of a National Committee ever had before, showing plainly that while the Republican ' party has al ways been dependent upon money it is in this campaign more dependent than ever, and hence the organs ap prove the efforts and applaud the success of Hanna in securing money in such large amount. " ' Ilanna has the money and he is putting it wh.ert be thinks it wiil "do the most good." The balk of i rcorey wiil go into the "doabt fui" States, for Hanna is a business man and does not beiieve id paying for what be already has or for what be r-n't get. Some, of it has come mu North Croiina, and goae into Virginia, and into Congressional dis tricts in the South to aid in the elec tion of Republican Congressmen, or of "Democrats" who are running as representatives of the gold standard and In opposition to the "regular Democratic nominees ' He isn't depending altogether on the dollars he has to distribute, but is supplementing these with his spec tacular side-shows, in which he plays the "pilgrims," the Union Generals, the United Stales flag, and even such of the preachers of the gospel as he could engage.. The pilgrim show is on , the whole 1 amusing, although there are some degrading fea tures in it. I is degrading because it is a hypocritical farce in which some unwilling men are compelled to take part because their dependent condition is such that it would be very embarrassing for them to refuse and thus incur the displeasure of the men ' who employ them and are co-operating with Hanna for the election of McKinley. We say it is degrading to require these men to wear McKinley buttons and march In McKinley processions, and it is degrading in the men who require them to do it at the peril of losing the work on which they are depend ent to buy the food their wives and children eat, and the clothes they wear. '; . In getting np these pilgrim delega tions he has not forgotten the col ored preachers and sent a train-load of them to 4'pay their respects Jo, Jvicj-' aneLnjBToTscQurse on the virtues of the Republican party. This was degrading because It was using the pastors of flocks to influ ence the flocks, a brutal disrespect for the calling of the preachers, and degrading to the men who would thus convert this calling into a pc itical machine. He hasn't sent any white ministerial pilgrims yet, bat this is, perhaps, because he has not been able to secure enough of them who set such a low estimate on their p'rofession to form a delegation re spectable In numbers. In some respects worse than any of these is the parade he is making of Federal Generals who fought in the war between the States, in send ing them around the country to arouse the old soldier feeling and fan into flame again the embers of sectional strife which had about died out when Hanna ' struck on this device for starting it up again. This is degrading, degrading to men of honorable soldier records, degrading to a profession which prides itself on its honor, degrading to the soldiers who could be captivated by any such disgusting side show as that, and degrading to the men who could conceive it and put such a low esti mate on the men who perilled their lives in upholding their flag. These are a few of the degrading features of Mark Hanna's campaign, of which there are more. 1IIS0R HJSBTIOS. The anti-Bryan campaign man agers, both Republican and "sound money" Democrat, have been pre seating the people with the 50-cent Mexican . dollar, and other "object lessons," br.t some of the biggest ob ject lesson;-- presented n tnis or any other campaign are the multitudes which greet Wm. J. Bryan at every place in the Statts through which he moves in his canass. Three hcii dred and frf ty tbovts.inr r of toe five hundred t ;!:0!mad vot.en is the State of Micliis:.:n hocked to hear him when he' passe ! though that State, and although his train did not reach some points until late in the night, the people waited patiently until 'he came and responded en thusiastically to the words he ottered. Passing thence into Mr. McKinley's State he was met and greeted by such multitudes as never gathered in those towns before, and going into Indiana he found thousands and in some places scores : of thousands waiting to see and hear him. At one place which his train did not - arrive until after midnight be found fire or six thousand people waiting in the rain the coming of his train, and then they stood in the rain to bear this bold, brave, brainy leader of the people speak for the people. In all the history of political campaigning there never were such "object les sons" as these popular demonstra tions in those States and In all the States North and .South, East and West, where , Wm. J. Bryan has spoken, and they are lessons which the opponents of silver may study with profit. " : .;-. ; ' .' :,'. " at -j-'i'J. .. . - Some time ago the Armonr Pack ing Company, of Chicago, and some of the merchants who are "believers in the gold standard, concluded they would give the laboring men of that city an "object, lesson," and import ed Mexican silver dollars which they gave in change at a valuation of 50 cents . on the dollar. This was in part to show to what a deplorable condition Mexico was reduced by her silver dollars, which were not worth more than 50 cents." To ascertain what troth there might be in these representations and learn something about the effect of silver money in that country, the Labor organiza tions of Chicago sent two of their number, two bright, intelligent men, to llexico to stu-?7'"tre sitsst'O" there aad report on their return. Here is the result as reported by P. J. M33, oue of the comrnissioaers, speaking for Lini'elf : "When I started 'or Mexico i apathetic on the money question. I bad no: made up ray mind a to what woulf! be the best ptiic? Inr the Untied Stales. My trip has lemcved every doubt te.'d by me, and I am cow as orderi: ree ati verits. If ttie United. State would adopt free aiiver it would injure the trade of Eagland and other European gold countries. Talk about protection to American workingmeel There never was a better plan advanced than toe free coinage of stiver. It would encour age home manufacturers, as their pro duct would be purchased by the people of the United States in preference to those of England or Other countries. "Tne united States aad Mexico are not to be compared from a labor stand point. The natives of Mexico are a lazy, shiftless lot, but if tbey had the energy of the working men of this country their chances for bettering their condition would be increased a thousand fold by the fact that Mexico is a free silver country.' No man who studies this question, who does not put a gold dollar be fore his eyes, as Mr. Bryan expresses it, to obscure his vision, can fail to come to the conclusion that free sil ver is the best for this country and for the world. -9 Some of the Republican papers in this State publish portions of the letter of Mr. Creelman, correspond ent of the New York World, who was sent into the South to study the situation, and report his conclusions. Among the States visited was North Carolina, which he concluded would go for Bryan by 10,000 to 12,000 majority. : In that letter he gave an interview he had with Chairman Holton of the Republican State- Committee, giving the reasons' why he claimed the State for McKinley and Russell. One of the reasons iyenjs-toi$-HFeporte6Tby Mr. Creel- man: But Mr. Holton. the Republican State Chairman, said to me to-night that the enormous registration of un qualified negro voters, made possible by the Republican-Populist fusion on Congressional, State and county ticket, would probably give North Carolina's eleven electoral votes to McKicl;y by a majority ot 13.000." , The papers which reproduce the Holton interview carefully omit this portion of it, which tbey didn't'want their honest readers to see, and which Mr. Holton, doubtless, did, not expect to see in print when he made that statement. That they are counting on carrying the election by the fraudulently increased registra tion of illegal voters , there is" no more doubt than that the sun shines, but they are not going to play that game' as successfully or extensively as tbey hope to. Honest men are watching them, and there will be recruits for the penitentiary. CURRENT COMMENT. United States District Attor ney Bible, of Tennessee, has been called off the stump.

It is thought that all the county officers will be elected by safe majorities. It is estimated that Kitchin will carry Durham county' by five hundred majority. We think that this estimate not be far wrong, but a more conservative estimate by some places his prob able majority at one hundred and fifty. A rough estimate by some gives Kitchin the district by abont fifteen hundred majority. n T1TTI Trp Ol III I I ilTVnYnrnfmTi't Concord Standard: ' Georgia, the young wife ot Mr. Will Dorton, died at home neat Flowes, in No. 10 township, Monday, after a long and tedious suffering, with consumption. .

It is a meal at which much of the formality which attends a dinner la dispensed with, but the menu is of a more satisfying character than that of the usual 5 o'clock tea, with its thin bread and but ter, wafers and cakes. The high tea is particularly favored in the hunting season, when the sportsmen return from the field two or three hoars before dinner time with appetites sharp ened by a long gallop in the fresh air. Then it is that the high tea affords the hungry ones something to tide over the time until dinner and gives them a chance to rest before taking off their scarlet coats and hunting boots. ..

Keardon of Shawnee town, Ills., owns and commands the Jessie Wilson, an Ohio river boat. "It was in 1835 that I made my first trip down tho Wabash on a keel boat," said the captain. "I was only 14 then and was cook of the boat.' In those days we nsed to float keel boats and flat boats down the river and pull them back. A crew general ly consisted of 12 men, and the cook and captain, as well as the others, had to do a good deal of pulling sometimes. A stake was driven in the ground on the shore above the boat, if there was mo tree- near, and we pulled ourselves up to it with ropes. Before my day my father-in-law owned 1 3 keelboats ; that ran from Pittsburg to New Orleans, and it took six months to make a round trip. I worked on the-Big Wabash, the Little Wabash and the White river: Sometimes we nsed oxen in pulling up stream. Nor was it such an easy matter, .to -go "down streams -Thefewere milldams, for example, t Oil UiO! a. vj,ai OftTmi and .. u.e-"v;-arjr wa-: very leading, btit tho ruloVas to onload, carry tho "freight toiow the dam atsd j-imp tho dam v.-ith tuo empty hor.t unci then-reload.

Many of them br.il t boats and floatod tiiem to New Orlearaa loaded with grain, catild, hogi and vtyotables. Deer meat, too, was plentiful in those days. I remember oneflatboat that was loaded with 80 tons of freight, and just about half of the entire load consisted of venison hams." , Captain Reardon met Lincoln, Clay and other prominent men be fore the war, some of them fre quently.' "In the hard cider cam paign of 1840 Lincoln came down to our country on horseback," said: the captain. "He was a candidate for elector on the Whig ticket and trav eled with a man named Lambert. I heard him speak at Shawnee town, New Haven and CsrmL The meet ings were held in log cabins, and the hard cider and the coon were al ways there. Douglas-1 saw several times in the fifties. Clay was a fre quent visitor at Shawneetown and Zaoh Taylor I met there also and at Louisville. Clay I first met in Louisi ana. He had a cotton plantation down.there and occasionally visited it On one of these trips the boat he was on, tho Andrew Jackson, stop ped at Shawneetown, and the whole town went aboard to greet the popu lar statesman. Sam Marshall made a speech on behalf of the Shawnee towners, and Clay responded in a manner that made him still more popular in that part of the country. When the time for separating came, he shook hands with a good many and kissed some of the girls. Nearly all the old ladies of Shawneetown today will tell yon that Henry Clay kissed them at that reception half a century ago." ' ' - John Ai Logan married in Shaw neetown. "John did most of his courting at my house, " said Captain Reardon. "Miss Cunningham lived near us and was generally there when Logan came .down from Benton, where he was reading law, to see her. Bob Ingersoll spent four years abont town reading law. In those days Boh had the most remarkable memory I ever knew. After reading an article in a newspaper he could repeat it almost word for word." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. , The Man Eating Ape. W. C. Coup, the circus man, has had many remarkable experiences, and a reporter asked him if the dreaded cry of "Hey, Rube!" had ever sounded in his tent. , "No," he said, "hut it came near it once in a small Kansas town, when fortunately there were no newspapers to spread the affair pub licly. I had among the attractions of the show a man eating ape, the largest ever in captivity. He was chained to the dead trunk of a tree and looked very ferocious. . s "On the day I speak of a coun tryman handed him a piece of tobac co, which the ape chewed with great pleasure. The word was passed around that the ape would chew to bacco, and several gave him a piece that was filled with cayenne pepper. The ape bit it, then, smarting with indignation, snapped the fastening of his chain and yelled: 'Let me at 'im, the murtherin ijit. Oi'll ' hev the loife av 'im on me name ain't Mahoney. Then he started through the crowd with a handspike, ready to. strike with, but the culprit es caped. I docked the ape a week's salary, and it was the last tWne I had any trouble with him."
