Dan Hofh Maclean Spoke on State Issues to Small Crowd Scored the Independents. The crowd which heard Hon. Dan Hugh McLean at the Court House last night on the political issues of the day was necessarily small on account of the great number of counter attrac nons. However, tne lew wno were present, numbering about one hun dred and fifty, heard the simon pure Democratic doctrine expounded in the bold, fearless manner so characters tic of the speaker. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Geo. L. Peschau, of the New Hanover Democratic Executive Committee, who asked Sheriff Frank H. Stedman to introduce the speaker. Sheriff. Stedman wavery graceful in his words of presentation and referred to the service of Mr. McLean to his party and to his wide popularity in the State. After expressing pleasure at meet ing a New Hanover audience and say iog mat ne came not so much as a politician but as a friend, he went into a discussion of the issues, emphasizing the importance of the approaching election, because the State is just now entering upon a new era and it behooves Democrats to stand together and reap the reward of their efforts. His first sally was at the independent movement. "When you scratch one of these 'Citizen,' " said Mr. McLean, "you bleed a Republican." They are just like the late Popoulists, who all went over into the Radical camp. The Republican party and Populist party married in fusion and the devil ofii ciated at the ceremony. The speaker next went Into the Republican record in North Carolina and exhorted Democrats to rally to the support of the ticket from State to township. The Republicans beiore their over throw polluted everything they touched, even the penitentiary. He told of the mismanagement of that in stitution and the disclosures made by the investigating committee of which he had the honor to belong. The Democrats upon assuming charge had to appropriate $59,000 to clothe the 900 convicts, who were all Radicals, for TawiAAarsi af fvi Via 'nan " 4-SjaUWVJLSW UWU SVJ & suu pvu Governor Russell's removal of Jno. R. Smith from the penitentiary and his appointment of the same man to the head of the great agricultural in terests of the State was denounced. The Jim Young scandal waa also touched up and other Republican mis deeds in the State called to the atten tion of his hearers. Mr. McLean incidentally paid a trib ute to Judge Clark for his historical work, in extolling the Democrats for their attitude towards Confederate pen sions. He also made a whack at "Judge" Hill, of Halifax, and passed on to a denunciation of Pritchard for his deserters' bill. Mr. McLean concluded with a bril liant defence of the Democracy, and took his seat amid great applause. He spoke for a little less than an hour, de voting his speech entirely to State issues.
