AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Great Demonstration by the Dem

of Wilmington.
HON. R. B. GLENN'S ADDRESS.
ab Enthusiastic Assemblage A Thousand
Tpeople Present Eloquent Speech in
Behalf of Good Government
and White Supremacy.
Bob Glenn is a great speaker. There,
wasn't a man in the tremendous audi?
ence which greeted him in the Opera
House last, night but would have said
us much. In the firmament.of politi
cal speakers in North Carolina the
name of R B. Glenn is a star of the
first magnitude. Blunt, plain and out
spoken, he is nevertheless tender and
pathetic and his eloquence sweeps
everything before it like a storm. ,
Capt. Glenn arrived here yesterday
evening by the C. F. & Y. V. Ra
road. He was met at the depot by , a
committee consisting of Messrs. W.
JleKoy, J. W. Sneeden, and Maj. W.
LI. Bernard, who ascorted him to The
Orton HoteL
; About eight o'clock the speaker,
.-,"1 1 A 1"V iA
witn several prominent uemocras
where ah I
i went to tne Upera House,
audience of fully a thousand people
was awaiting him. In addition to all
the seats the doors and windows were
filled with people anxious to hear the'
silver-tongued orator of the "West.
Seated on the rostrum besides the
speaker were Iredell Meares, Esq., W.
B. MeKoy, chairman of County Exe
cutive Committee: J. , W. Sneeden,
secretary"; L. West, Frank McNeill,
: r W. Yates, Col. Roger Mqpre, Cbl.
F. W. Kerchner, S. H. Fishblate, M.
W .lacobi, W. E. Springer. Capt
John Barry, Col. Jno. L. Cantwell,
Col. T. W. Strange, Capt. James IL
McGowan, and Wffl. A. Sykes.
Iredell Meares, Esq., introduced
,1 Opt. Glenn and said that he would
speak not in the interest of Democracy
alone, but in the interest of civili
zation. He said that Mr. Glenn was
distinguished in his profession and on
the hustings and above all he was the
exponent of the cause which all white
. men held so dear.
Capt. Glenn was suffering from
throat trouble and apologized for ap
pearing without a collar and again
j for removing the handkerchief from
about his neck symbolical as he said
of the removing of the political chains
which held down the white men of
North Carolina. He said he appeared
as a humble Democrat, not as a candi
date for office. Said he was not a
stranger to the Wilmington people
having spoken here six years ago in a
. public debate with Marion Butler and
also , in the campaign of 1896. He
would abuse no man in the ranks of
all parties there are men who are
honest, true and faithful. Never be
fore in North Carolina had there been
so important an election. There was
no president to elect, no governor to
elect, although he wished there were
and believed that every Democrat, Re
publican and Populist would be glad
when the last day of Daniel Russell's
term of office rolled around.
The Issue is White Supremacy
the speaker declared with emphasis.
He begged his hearers to decide
whether to vote for what is honest and
truest or what is most corrupt and de
based. It is a vital issue. Decided in
our favor it will mean good laws and
protectton to our women and children ;
if against usr oh, God! what will the
result be? Vampires from every part
of the country will fly to this State
and feed upon its carcass.
We have not drawn the color line.
A greater than the Democratic party
drew it. A way back in the ages the
Eternal had declared that Japheth
- should increase and Ham should be his
servant. The colored people them
selves had drawn it. Democrats fed
and clothed them, but how have the
i colorjd people rewarded this kindness?
By going to the polls every November
aud voting 120,000 strong against the
white man. If the colored man him..
self drew the line, isn't it about time
white people should draw it? All
honor to the colored man who stands
by his race in the- right way; all dis
' ., honor to the white man who joins the
colored race and makes himself the
equal, or the inferior, of the negro. I
do not ask for colored votes ; I am
here to ask men. who loye their
mothers, wives and daughters to vote
the Democratic ticket. Make it a buei
. ness question and vote for the party
that does the most good for the least
money and not the least good for the
most money.
Republican Misrule.
. Capi Glenn's arraignment of Re
publican misrule after the war was un
answerable. He' went back to . the
trying days of '68 and-'69 and re
freshed the memories of old men end
brought the information to young
men of the disgraceful condition of
affairs which prevailed in this State
. then.
In pathetic words he described the
Confederate' soldier returning home
broken in body, and fortune. When
he asked for bread the party in power
(fW him a stone, for fish it gave him
a sorpent. When he said he was poor
it increased his tax to eighty-four cents
on the hundred dollars and collected a
million dollars, which it spent in riot
ing and drunkenness and debauchery,
while the State debt was increased
from fifteen to forty millions: He
awed for schools, and it collected a
tax of tinn nnn w,. :-i
"'US taucht nr a toa'hoy unt. out.
When mercy on the insane was asked,
thousands were levied and collected
and not a brick laid. The dark pic
ture was relieved by reference to Zebu
Ion ft. Vance, who made the fight and
Moke the shackles.
Democrats a Power.
What did the Democrats do? Re
duced the taxfrom 81 to 3, then to
2, then to 24, 23, 21 an ayeragftof
2:H for twenty years. Thay repudia-
speaking almost wiped out the State -
debt. For schools, $171, 000 was devoted -
the first year, $212,000 the second, a$d
more and more , every year until the '
last year of Democratic rule the fig- !
urea were $900,000. What the party
did for the insane, deaf. dumb, and
Dime; at Raleigh, Morganton, and
Goldeboro was fittingly described.
Two thousand miles of railroad had
been built. Never yet had the sacred

right of habeas corpus been suspend

v , ...
The Third Party,
The origin of the-Populist party was
given. Mistakes the Democratic party
had made, Populists had gone outside
the party to correct them while ' Dem -ocrats
had stayed in and corrected
them, showing their courage by re
fusing to endorse in. National Con
vention assembled the administration
of Cleveland. Populiats left the
ocratio party on principle, they tght
to comeback on principle. They claim
that the Democrats stole their plat
form; let them come along and stand on
it Don't yon steal the Republican
platform if you do, nobody can in
dict you, as there is no law against
av- v .. .. . ' .Jt" .
taxing .wnat is oi no value. Jtsy a
comparison of Cleveland and McK3b
ley, Capt. Glenn showed that the party
of the latter ought to be forsaken
for that of the former." Cleveland,
it was. said, caused -cotton to sell for
5 cents; McKinley brought it down to
Scents; Cleveland waAagold bug,
McrUnley is worse; Cleveland issued
bonds; McKinley issued more. Demo
crats passed an income tax law ; a
Republican Supreme Court declared
it unconstitutional. Then he showed
the many political views held in com
mon by Democrats and Populists and
urged the latter to come back and help
redeem the State.
What the Fusionists Did.
The extravagance of the Rep-Pop
fusionists was laid bare. The
Democratic legislature in 1891 cost
$63,000; in 1893, $65,000. The fusion
Legislature in 1895 cost $78,000; in
1897. $70,000. The saving by the
Democratic Legislature was then
over $14,000. And what did this Leg
islature that was so expensive do?
Passed laws after laws, which were so
impracticable that the Supreme Court
had to declare them unconstitutional.
What further? Refused to adjourn
out of honor to the names of Geo.
Washington and Robert E. Lee and
adjourned in honor of Fred Douglas.
Not Democrats alone realized the in
famy of this Legislature. " Marion
Butler said in his paper Feb. 27, 1897,
"Up to this time the session is a damn
able disgrace." Similar expressions
were quoted from the Progressive
Parmer. To recover from the terrible
disgrace there was but one thing to do,
and that was for white men to get to
gether and see to it that Democrats
discharge the functions of the next
Legislature.
The expenses of the State govern
ment under Democratic and Repub
lican administrations were compared.
For three years of Democratic rule
prior to Russell's inauguration, the
expenses were $3,573,000; for a similar
period of Republican rule, the ex
penses were $3,959,000; the Democratic
saving being over $125,000 annually.
When the Democrats surrendered the
government of the State, there was a
surplus of $139,222; on the last day of
December, 1897, there was a deficit of
$209,000. Then the agricultural board
came in for a good share of just vitu
peration, and Editor J. W. Bailey, of
the Biblical Recorder, was quoted
with telling effect. The. shameful
mismanagement of the penitentiary
was also exposed.
During the twenty years that the
Democrats were in power, to no one of
them was it said ''Thou art a thief. "
It was left for Dr. Cy . Thompson to
reach down hyena like and tear the
clods from the graves of William
Sanders and Octavius Coke andaccuse
them of having misappropriated the
State's funds. Aycock's complete
ref utation of the contemptible charges
a j . J i
was insianceu, aiiu tue ajreancr pam a,
glowing tribute to the honesty of the
two great North Carolinians. The
Robert Hancock disgrace, the Kirby
Smith episode, and the Jim x oune in
spection of tne asylum ior Diina wnue
childen all these shameful blots upon
the fair name of the State were re
viewed and condemned in scathing
terms. The speaker came nearer
home, telling of negro insolence in
Newbern ana Wilmineton.
Could such things happen if the
Democrats were in power ? It must
not be thought that he had an unrea
sonable feeling against the race. On
the contrary, he felt very kindly to
wards it. and showed this by several
pathetic incidents connected with his
earlv boyhood. But the race must
keep in its place -
A Grand Political Battle
is being waged in this State, said Capt
Glenn, in conclusion. To take part in
it. he urged the old men, the middle-
aged men, and the young men. In his
Darting words, he asked those who
were going to assist in the redemption
of the State to stand up. The audience
arose to a man amid tremendous cheer
ing for the speaker.
Capt. Glenn spoke for about an hour
and a half. The speech was a splendid
effort. jMany times the' eloquent
speaker was interrupted by cheer after'
cheer from the throats of the enthu
siastic Democrats who thronged the
building. He will leave to-day for
Newborn to address the people of that
city.
, The Fifth Ward's Part.
The Democrats of the Fifth Ward
bore the credit of infusing even more
than usual enthusiasm in the speak-
ing.
Quite a while before the speaking be
gan their torch-light procession could
be seen making its way down Front
street. There were two or three hun
dred Democrats in line, and they-were
marching ht a "double quick" to
music by the Fifth Ward band. A
transparency bearing the words "Mac-
Rae and Good Government, "inn
-cow th Rnnf Ward." and "White
Governmenf Union," was borne tri
umphantly over the heads Of the mov
ing throng. The New Hanover Demo
cratic banner was also in the keeping
of the Fifthi The prceession, on its
way to the Opera House, was rein
forced with other White Government
Unions of the wards, and altogether
the demonstration was a very notable
one.

I felt perfectly honest and sincere in

that our government in Eastern North

It is in about as bad a condition
as it can get is. Russell and nigger

reason that you haven't got the nigger,
but if you will read the papers
you will find out how it is in other

for they can't handily write it worse
than it is, and when you hear a Dem

'may rest assure tat he has a cause
for it, and you would think the same
if you lived in this 4 county: Let me
give you a few facts in regard to the
negro in this county. It is claimed,
and I guess it is true, that we
have 40 negro magistrates in the
county. The custom house offi
cers are niggers. The Register of
Deeds and his crew (assistants)
are all niggers, John T. Howe was
the Republican representative from
New Hanover county ; he, too, was a
negro. .The most of our mail carriers
here are black ; so is our coroner, and
the police force has got so many black
imps on it that they would be hard to
count. Old paid, this town is in a h

Eastern North Carolina that have suf

ashamed to, own it. I have "not been
taking any stock in politics since I
left Randleman, but that time has

DISORDERLY NEGRO TROOPS;
Make Life a Burden and Perilous to Citi

Knox ville.
Special to Richmond Dispatch.
Knoxvillk, Tenn., September 27.
General McKee, commanding the
troops at Camp Poland, to day issued
an order removing the Sixth Virginia
regiment (colored) from its .present
camp, near the Third North Carolina
(colored), to a site near the Thirty-
first Michigan regiment (white. This
order was imperative on account
of the complaint that has been
made by citizens to the effect that the
colored soldiers have i made life a bur
den and perilous in the vicinity of
their joint camp. An- investigation
has revealed that one colored regiment
lays the blame to the other. General
McKee has. therefore, determined to
nlace rai.es between them. The trouble
complained of is that colored soldiers
fire rifles and pistols through the
night and deliberately attack citizens
passing that way. This conduct has
been going on since the First Georgia
regiment left here last week, Pre
vious to that time the negroes were
verv humble, the popular opinion
being that 1 they were "afraid of the
Georgians.

When about a quarter of a mile
from home, two negro boys,, aged
about 16 to 18 years, ran after
my daughter, with their ooats
turned over theirheads to conceal
their identity, and attempted to
take hold of hew and doubtless
would have placed their unholy

not been for her screams would
have doubtless accomplished their
purpose. This was done in Town

White men of Brunswick county,
can you stand that? Is there one left
in the borders of your county who
will not now vote against every can
didate who consorts with negroes, and
who is dependent on them for elec
tion? Has it come to this, that your
daughters cannot attend church or
Sunday school without having a
body-guard to protect them from the
lustful black brutes who roam through
your county?
Rise in your might,1 white men of
Brunswick. Assert ., your manhood.

RACE TROUBLE IN ONSLOW.
Minature Race War at Jacksonville in
Which Negroes Were Considerably
Worsted by the Whites.
Jacksonville Times.
A few minutes after the adjourn
ment of the White Government Union
on Saturday night a disturbance wis
caused on Marine's corner by some
negroes jostling and pushing a white
man; hot words passed, then blows; a
large number of colored men were in
a store near by and they rushed out
and arranged themselves solidly along
side the authors of the disturbance and
upheld them in the riot that followed.
The whites were quick in assem
bling and the fight that ensued was
sharp and decisive. About forty men
were in the melee, of whom twenty
five were negroes, and that no lives
were lost is the most remarkable phase
of the matter. It was fist and skull,
white man against the black, and that
the fight was bitter and severe punish
ment administered, was attested by the
number of wounded that required at
tention and the bloody appearance of
the street next morning.
Not a singrle white man was injured,
but those neerroes who left their blood
on the battle ground and those who
are n ursine aching heads and contem
plating ugly scars, will probably be
benefitted by reflecting that Onslow
is a white man s county, that negro
insolence will not be tolerated and
that negro imposition will be pun
ished. '- :

July 23d, says; "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no tune to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day fo keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera arid Diarrhoea "Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health ; in fact, I sincerely believe
tfiat at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself
had tbe good fortune to lay in a sup
ply of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and I know in
four cases it absolutely saved life."
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des
Moines, Iowa. For sale by R. R

.." Bobbed tbe Grave.
A startling incident, of which
Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows :
"I was in a most dreadful condition.
"MV lrin wm almost yellow, eyes
sunken, toncue coated, pain contin
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by day.
Himm nhvsicians!had eriven me up.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
'Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy
and surorise. the first bottle made a
derided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am now
a well man. I know they saved my
life, and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try
them. Only 50 cents per bottle at R.
k. bellamy;s irug store.

COTTON MARKETS.
Sy Telsgraph to the Morning Star.
New York, September 28. Aside
from a brief period of activity and a
sharp advance on the . openings to- i
day's cotton market lacked interesting -features.
There was every evidence f
that the advance of yesterday had
fiven Liverpool shorts a bad scare. ,
nitial cables reported an advance of
one point in futures at that point.
with later advices noting: a still fur
ther improvement of li2i points
on active coverine. I Freauent and
almost violent fluctuations were
reported by public and private
cables, but the close was steadv at
about the highest point of the
day. Our market opened quiet and
nrm with prices 4 to 5 points higher.
Foreign buying, chiefly Liverpool,
and support from the smaller shorts
sustained the advance for a few min
utes, but by the end of the first hour
selling by the leading bears, Southern
representatives and scalpers had caused
a reaction to last night's final figures.
The market was steady on the decline,
however, and later in the session ad
vanced on covering. Free receipts at
both the ports and interior towns, '
favorable weather reports, and an en
couraging average to crop accounts
checked buying except in a small way.
The local future market closed very
steady at a net gain of 3 to 4 points'."'"""
