O. J. Harris, Republican candidate for Governor, and Hon. Thos. Settle, ex-member of Congress from the Asheville district and one of the State's leading Republicans. The speakers are touring the State and ar rived yesterday from "Rockingham. Col. Harry Skinner was not with them, but he Is expected to rejoin the party at Fayetteville to-day. The meeting was called to order last night by Chairman T. E. Wallace, of the Republican County Executive Committee. There were perhaps one hundred and fifty perons in the court room, Including the old liners of days gone by, half a dozen or more recruits by virtue of Federal patronage be stowed more recently, a handful of Democrats drawn thither by curiosity and a sprinkling of the "brother in black," who essayed to make his first appearance at a political gathering in New Hanover since the late unpleas antness in this bailiwick a half dozen years ago. The gathering was very quiet and hard to enthuse, with the possible exception of an inebriated in dividual on the front aeat, whoa pro fessed to be a Democrat but who would ever and anon Interrupt the speaker with manifestations of approv al of what was being said. Mr. Harris was the first speaker and he was introduced by Collector of Cus toms B. F. Keith. Mr. Harris im presses one as a business man rather than as a politician or an orator, neither of which he professes to be. His speech was In conversational man ner and bore the Impress of sincerity. A characteristic remark was that the negro must work out his own sal vation along industrial rather than politicaLlinesHe-apoke. lialt-beart: edly of his prospects for election to gubernatorial honorr. but said that if he were elected he would do every thing in his power to conduct the ship of State for the best Interests of the whole people. He said he wouldn't be surprised to see North Carolina in the Republican column within the next few years. Mr. Keith introduced Mr. Settle as the son of the man who went through the State on that memorable and ele vated campaign with the lamented Vance and commended him to the bearing of those assembled. Mr. Settle is an orator and speaks with convinc ing power. He 'is sarcastic, but not bitter, and appeals to reason rather than to prejudice, He expressed pleasure at the opportunity of visit to Wilmington. It was not his first trip to this part of the State nor to the city, but it was his first occasion to address the people here upon the political issues which were agitat ing the people and dividing them into two great parties. There were two sides of every question but in looking over the laat returns from the election down this way, there appeared to be only one side In New Hanover and he had come to see about the matter. This sally on the part of the speaker brought forth applause from the Dem ocrats. Mr. Settle continued by say ing that he believed there was an hon est division of sentiment in Wilming ton on the question of governmental policies and Inferred that he had come down to crystalize that sentiment. He believed that a difference existed and that it was important for an allegiance of those who inclined toward Repub lican principles. He believed that the future had in store for Wilmington great blessings. Its location, lis re sources, Its opportunities were such that it should not be outstripped by any inland city or any city on the South Atlantic coast. He furthermore rxnressed the belief that those blessings will be deferred. If not en tirely lost, by the abandonment of Republican principles. He exhorted against being led by prejudice and em phasized the necessity of allegiance to party standards, saying that no Indi vidual could accomplish anything out side the ranks of one or the other of the great political organizations. He paid a tribute to North Carolina and the South, saying they were compara tively free from foreign influx and their citizenship, therefore, -of the hfghest type. The solid Boutb, how ever, be regarded the greatest curse to a free people. It was neglected by the party in power and was not cultivated by the other which controlled it. The speaker prefaced a history of the two parties by saying that he be lieved the masses in both were honest but were very often the victims of 111 advised leaders. He upbraided the Democrats for Its alleged vacillating policy in each campaign and charged it with having a ."parry-mount" issue for every presidential election. They have one issue one year; the next it become. too hot for them to handle and they drop it and "parry-mount" another, he said. He charged the Democrats In "Congress during the crisis - with the Spanish v gor- goyernment with Insisting and de manding of McKinley that war Bhould be forthwith declared, even accusing the president of cowardice, and then going back on the war policy when it had been gloriously fought to a finish. He told why the country was not ready for war when insistence was be ing made by the Democrats, and eulo gized McKinley for the statesman-like manner in which he handled the situ ation. He did not claim the.cred!t,bow ever, for the glorious culmination of that affair. The Democrats helped to declare, fight and. win that war, and they. were responsible equally with the Republicans for the expansion and acquisition of the territory which fol lowed. Bat, he said, the Democrats were willing to go that far and no farther. From that point the roads diverse. From thaV time to this one hearslftttMng out' abuse and denun ciation of the Republican way of solv ing the question. It was the boast of Democratic orators that Jefferson was the father of their party. Here Mr, Settle attempted to commit the. Democratic , party to expansion and imperialism in the acquisition of the Louisiana purchase, which was successfully culminatsd during Jeff erson's administration. In every act of McKinley and Roosevelt in handling the present situation with the Philippines and Porto Rico they had a precedence in the administration of Jefferson In dealing with the Louis iana purchase. He criticized Demo crats, charging them with Injustice and insincerity in criticising Republi cans for their method of dealing with these newly acquired possessions. He most solemnly averred that the atti tude of this government had been In strict accordance with Internaffbnal law and had contributed to our glory in the eyes of the nations of the world. The same he claimed for the Presi dent's action In the Isthmian Canal affair but conceded to Democrats the support which they had given to the measure per se. Instead of smoothing the way, however, they were carping and whining about the President's method of acquiring: the concession. He charged the Democratic politicians with insincerity and seeking to preju dice this government in the eyes of the world. Passing to a discussion of the financial questions, he said he felt that an apology was due his audience. He was one of the victims of the "prairie fire" of free sliver that swept over the" Bouth four and eight years ago, being alone in the Congressional delegation from this State in opposi tion to the fanaticism. That was another one jgC those "parry-mount" Issues. .

He believed if they had known it had its origin in tbe Sage of Prince ton they would have dropped it like a hot brick long ago. In this connection Mr. Settle paid hlstespects to Hon. R. B. Glenn, the Democratic candidate for Governor. "I like Bob; he's a splendid fellow," the speaker said. "He's a kinsman of mine; there's where he gets his good qualities from, but I am not responsi ble for his political; sins." He rasped Mr. Glenn for his free silver speeches four years ago and said that Mr. Glenn was District Attorney under Mr. Cleveland and now he would give fifty cents any time to be waked up at midnight to "cuss" Cleveland. . Coming to State matters, Mr. Settle laid down the broad proposition that the Republican party stands in the State for what is best for North Caro lina. Continuing, he said it was rather ticklish ground, but "fools rush In where angels fear to tread." However, he would slide out on the ice and see if it cracks. He declared the people of the State were confronted seriously with the right of local self govern ment whether to be run and con trolled by themselves or to. surrender body and soul to the Southern Rail way. They had heard of the octopus throwing its tentacles around. Did any one observe how the Southern Railway was throwing out its tenta cles In this State! It practically con trolled our last Legislature, he said, and now you can hardly get out in the State without encountering one of its emissaries. Up in his county, the speaker said, you can hardly throw, a stone without striking a Southern Railway attorney who is a candidate for the Legislature. Mr. Settle even made so bold as to charge that Mr. Glenn was one of the chief counsel for the Southern and that the Federal judges were picked from Its counsel, disclaiming, however, any charge against the judiciary. He sounded a note of warning that enough railroad leases and other leg slation are coming up next time to warrant the Intelli gent voter in keeping his eyes open. He charged that $15,000 of the State's money had been spent In an unsuccessful attempt to impeach two Republican Supreme Court justices who had rendered opinions not to the liking of certain: "gentlemen," and that hardly bad the voice of prose cuting counsel died out before the Treasurer of the State was off to New York to borrow money, admittedly without authority.! The bond issue of the following Legislature was like wise condemned. The Democrats had given a reduced rate of taxation but had gone up on valuation and where was the difference! " Without the slightest reference to the Booker Washington Incident, the Chicago convention episode of a little white girl dancing on the stage with a negro boy, and Roosevelt's villainous abuse of the South in some of bis writing', all of which Republican speakers have made an effort to con trovert on the" hustings elsewhere in the State, Mr. Settle concluded with a eulogy of th preaiden predicting his election in November-:.-: - : . Panting under the .oppressive heat and withone's distended nostrils,eyes, ears and mouth filled with dust from three f airlyactlve rlttgfranjdJhe, antic of a dozen clowns on the side, it was exceedingly hard to pass with discrim inating judgment upon the merits or demerits of the performance given by John Robinson's Big Shows on the sand dunes near: Delgado yesterday afternoon; No wonder there was an absence of snap and ginger on the part of the performers and animals in the ring, when spectators, far above the level of the ground, could not preserve their equanimity for the dust and oppressive heat. The man who selected that site for the show should be executed forthwith and denied the benefit of clergy. The crowds were the largest, perhaps, ever seen at a circus at or near Wilmington.' Fully eight thousand people attended the afternoon performance and conserva tive estimates place the night attend ance at seven thousand. The Consolidated line handled the crowds very well, but it was taxed to the utmost of its rolling stock to do it. There was a noticeable absence of drunkenness and disorder and the management' of the show, from the boys who hawaed lemonade and pea nuts, to Proprietor John Robinson himself, were the- cleverest, most courteous and obliging ever seen here. It is regrettible that the untoward con ditions in the matter of erounds marr ed the complete success of the perform ance. From the stake men to the highest salaried performer In the cen ter ring, this was a mortification. However, the Robinson Shows have come and -gone and have left no unpleasant taste in the mouth. The special trains of forty two cars left over the Coast Line this morning for Whltevllle, and from there will go to Marion, S. 0., to morrow. Mr. Robinson, the proprie tor, and Mr. Punch Wheeler, the press agent of the shows, made many new friends in Wilmington and ex pressed themselves last night as being most " JsvbrSbtjf ? Impressed c wittmher city and Us people. - No Parade Yesterday. A .series of unfortunate develop ments yesterday morning caused the John Robinson shows to make lis second failure in three years to give a parade in the city or town in which it exhibited. First, there were differ ences as to the occupancy of the gun club grounds, but those were quietly adjusted. Then came a refusal from the Delgado Mills management to allow the parade to.vass over a certain road to the turnpike without guaran teeing to pay for any damage that might be done to the said road by the heavy vehicles. After much quibbling the circus management could make no agreeable terms and a majority of their cages, etc., being already burled up to the hubs of the wheels in the sand, tbe parade was very reluctant ly abandoned. It was a sore disap pointment to thousands who gathered on the streets to witness the pageant but Mr. Robinson regarded it an ob stacle beyond tbe resourceful ingenui ty of the Twentieth Century circus manager. The public schools of the city had suspended exercises for tho children to see the animals, etc., and many a little tot without the price of admission and after lingering long on the sidewalks, went home with a tear of disappointment in the eye. is to The Exhibition. The extremely adverse conditions under which the shows exhibited have been spoken of and it will suffice to say that ordinarily the show Is fully up to the John Robinson . standard and that is saying a good deal. The criticism Is offered that the grounds should have been sprinkled? But "dear reader" will you believe that sixteen horses were attached to a big sprinkler carried along with the show and two of the largest of the big herd of elephants In the menagerie were put behind to push with "nary a budge"! How could the grounds be sprinkled with the sprinkler stuck as hard and fast In the sand as an ocean liner on the beach of the Atlantic Coast. There was no confusion in seating tbe large audience at both perform ancesthe confusion came later In the cloud of dust for which the poor per formers In the rings were not respon sible. Three rings were kept pretty lively at all times. Among the fea tures which secured applause were that of William DeMont, the famous bareback rider, who was with Barnum and Bailey in Paris and who proved himself an equestrian of no mean ability. The Dutton eight-horse act was another favorite, while Miss Ger trude on her calico cake-walking horse won deserved applause. DeMott, the fancy trick rider, was also good and the act of Warren Travis, the strong man, appealed to the athletically In clined. One of the most thrilling acts was Orion ia his "cloud swing," some thing new in these parts and easily one of the most daring seen here. Miss Edna the lady somersault rider, was another top-liner, she being tbe personification of ease and grace in the execution of her 7.' turn." , The elephant act, engi neered by Trainer Tim Buckley, was good and left the children in good humor. The Mephiato loop was new and thrilling but, perhaps, not quite up to the artist lately seen here in the same act In which a bicycle was used. The menagerie was excellent, the band was far above the average, or, to sum up, it afforded a typical circus day In Wilmington and let ivgo at that ? Mr. and Mrs. L Hanson to Greensboro yesterday.

The city authorities were vexed all day yesterday with the problem of whether or not tne John Robinson's shows, being exhibited near Delgado, were in the city limits and, therefore, liable to the municipal license tax of $55 upon each performance. The show management paid without question the tax of $210 to ihe county and $210 to the State but they were unwilling to pay tbe city tax unless it was deter mined that the tents were within the c&rpor&te limits. They were ad vised that the show was out of the city. For the purpose of establishing the matter beyond peradventure, Mayor Sprioger sent Surveyor Mat thews and Chief of Police Furlong out to the grounds yesterday morning to run out the lines, and It was ascer tained that a strip of four feet of the 35 foot menagerie tent was inside the limits. The Mayor was so informed and last night a warrant was served by Chief Furlong upon the proper official of the show, citing them to ap pear in the Mayor's court to-day at nddnnand ahSwer the charge of exhib iting without a license. The show management upon the service of the warrant, paid the $55 tax for the after noon performance as the menagerie tent had been moved the four feet outside the limits before the night performance and was not, therefore, liable for the latter exhibition. The show management has employed Hon. Jno D. Bellamy to represent them at the hearing to-day, the $55 having been paid under protest. BRIQilT, CLEVER, ORIGINAL. Wests' Minstrels at Academy Monday Matinee and Night Prices. Elks and their friends everywhere are anticipating with peculiar delight the appearance of Wm. H. West's big minstrels at the Academy here next Monday at matinee and night perform ances. The matinee prices are 25c and 50c and something A I may.be expect ed from the appearance of the compa ny here. The setting of the "first part" with tbe popular West Minstrels this sea son is spoken of with more than the usual admiration given this feature of a minstrel programme. The setting Is declared to be quite elaborate, the colors, cerise and gold, harmonizing wonderfully in the general effect. It is also claimed, and admitted on all sides, that Manager Ricaby.has out done all his former efforts in the or ganizing of a company and putting together an entertainment that is con sidered quite remarkable for its intrin sic .merit and artistic thoroughness. With constant attention to the wants of his patrons and tbe progressive and liberal management always displayed by Manager Rlcaby, it Is not to be wondered at that the name of West Minstrels is always accepted as a posi tive gaarantee to the lovers of min strelsy the country over. The Road to Clothing Satisfaction Leads to U n STORE REHDER'S 0PENINQ TO-DAY. To- Ihe Marrlsfe of Kitty" at the Academy Sainrday Evening Seat Sale. Of all the comedies produced In New York last season, none was more en thusiastically received than "The Mar riage of Kitty," which will be given at the Academy Saturday night. Man ager Jules Murry has given the piece a setting that exactly reproduces the Metropolitan presentation, with its beautiful light effects on the views of Lake Geneva. The admirable com pany is headed by Bettlna Gerard and Max Flgman. Miss Gerard has excel lent opportunities to display her fine soprano voice. The comedy is decid edly original in theme, deftly put to gether, humorous, delicious, "light as air and fine as a spider's web." Sir Reginald Belsize (Mr. Flgman) will inherit a fortune provided he Is mar- ried on a certain day and his wife ba other than a certain Peruvian widow. His lawyer suggests that he meet these requirements by marrying a woman whom he can divorce at the end of a year, and thus leave the way open for his union with tbe aforesaid Peruvian. A country girl, Katherlne SUverton (Miss Gerard), agrees to be come the bride. The marriage is cele brated, the two separate at once, and each awaits the divorce proceedings. They meet with a lawyer to discuss the proposed litigation, whereupon some entirely unexpected happening! occur. The New York American said : " The Marriage of Kitty' Is so bright and clever and original that no, one could misunderstand it.1" The sale of seats will commence at Plummer's to-morrow morning.
