AH INDEPENDENT VIEW OF THE PLATFORM The only feature in the platform adopted by the Kansas City conven- tion about which there is any differ ence of sentiment among those who are opposed to the McKinley admin istration, is the silver plank, and that does not constitute an insurmount able obstacle with those who are sin cerely opposed to the imperialism of the regime now in power, nor with "those who are opposed to the trusts which have made such gigantic strides within the past few years. Thousands of Republicans who voted for McKinley four years ago will vote for Bryan in November on the imperialism issue, because they deem that of more present importance r than the money question, and there are thousands of men who voted for McKinley then who will vote f ox Bryan in November on the trust is sue, because, they deem that of much more present importance than the money question. ihe Republican leaders realize this and hence they wiil try to over shadow the issue of imperialism by bringing the silver question to the front, and by ignoring in as far as they can the trust question. When confronted by it they will point to their platform ami say that con demns trusts. As an illustration of the sentiment of the conservative element of the people throughout the country, we . clip the following comments upon the Kansas City platform from the Philadelphia Times, one of the ablest, moat conservative and thoroughly independent papers m this country, and one which opposed Bryan four years ago on the silver issue. It says : . "Upon this platform, notwithstand wg iu many serious faults and weak ; nesses, it is not to be doubted that the Demostats can make a stronsr cam paign. - Events that have carried the Republican administration into a wide departure from cherished American traditions have I raised opposition wnere none existed before. The in creasing ppwer of combijlations of capital and their influence in pub lic affairs has caused widespread - alarm. Upon both of these paramount issues the Democratic deliverance is bold and forceful and will be generally ": regarded as sincere. It is likely to draw to Bryan's support many who have no sympathy with his financial theories and who may dissent from many of the doctrines proclaimed in the Kansas City resolutions, but who regard tne methods and tendencies - represented by McKinley as more dan gerous at tne present tame. "Such, at least, is the outlook to day. No one can safely predict at the be- - ginning of July what may be the . course of events or what the state of opinion when the final issue is made up in November. Each party will - count much upon the errors of its op ponents. But the Kansas City con vention has escaped the danger of scattering its force at the outset and . has opened the way to a serious dis ' cussion of "large questions of public policy whose determination is of the the United States, if not also to the , world at large.'! No reference is herein made to the money question for the reason that the Times believes that the contest will be made on other -issues, the looming one being imperialism, which threatens, as many honestly believe, the perpetuity ot the re public. There is no telling now how many people there are outside of the Democratic' party who are so much opposed to imperialism that they would subordinate all other issues to that, but that there are many ' thousands is well known. While they do not attach any pres ent importance to the silver ques tion, or to the financial question in any snape, ii n came io ueumiug between free and unlimited coinage t a ratin nf 1fi t.ft 1 and imperialism they would accept the 1 . ..... I former without a moment's nesita tion. The former they regard as an economic question which may be met . and settled as time 3hows what is the best to be done, while the latter is a question of conscience, and of the principles .upon which the Republic was founded and con ducted for nearly a century and a quarter, which must be met now and settled for all time, for if the false sten be annroved now there will be L A A no retracing it. ' That a false step has been made has been confessed more than once by some of the recognized defenders of expansion, another name for im perialism. When we became in volved in armed conflict with the Filipinos Senator Hanna exclaimed that he wished the Philippines were "at the bottom of the sea." Mr. McKinley, . m one of his messages, characterized forcible expansion as "criminal asreression" and has said much about "benevolent assimila tion" to divert attention from the "criminal asrsrression" to which his administration has committed it self. But even now they con fess that forcible expansion is wrong by indirectly apologizing for it when in answer to the arraignment by the anti-impe rialists they say, "Well, we are iff, and must stay in because we can t get out." We must hold on because we can't let go. To quote Ahram S. Hewitt, who was originally opposed o the expansion policy, "we have the wolf bv the ears. This is not only a virtual admission of a blun der, but it i3 a pitiable confession of weakness, a confession that with our eyes open wet got into a scrape that we have neither the tact nor the manhood to get out of. We say the "manhood" to get out of be cause it requires some moral cour age to admit that we blundered. The anti-Imperialists do not admit that we cannot let go, or that, having blundered honor or manhood demands that we shall persist in the blunder, and continue blundering, when the. blundering costs not only millions of treasure; but the lives of thousands of Americans and thou sands of Filipinos, of whom this blundering has made enemies. Hor ace Greeley said, when discussing the question of the resumption of specie payments, "The way to resume is to resume," and so the anti-Imperialist says "the way to get out of the Phil ippines is to get out," and get out without any fooling about it. Tell those people that it is our intention to get out, but that we do not in tend to be driven out) and that when they have established a government that we and other nations can recog nize we will get out and let them rule their country as they think best, just as we have promised to do with Cuba. How much fighting would there be after such a declaration by this Government? None at all. That is what the anti-Imperialists of this country insist upon, that is what they believe, and thev believe that this would not only settle the Philippine question, but also the question of imperialism. which is involved in the settlement of the Philippine question. The New York Sun is making frantic appeals to the Gold Demo crats to stand by McKinley or be disgraced. By the way, after Mc Kinley was elected last time he didn't show much disposition to stand by the Gold Democrats who stood by him. The only one he recognized was poor Bynum and that took a long time and it didn't amount 'to much when it came. Some rash publisher has offered Lord Roberts $500,000 to write a history of the Transvaal war. By the.time the racket is closed up, with the bigger events that. are. over shadowing it there will be too little interest in that to put money in the pockets of the publisher of that book.' . : i h American consul at Berlin reports that American shoes are be coming so popular in Germany that German manufacturers are equip ping tneir shops with American ma- enmery, and making shoes after American models.

I i Unless all the signs fail there is 1 i 1 i i xi a; a no more ciouds- mat me constitu tional amendment will be carried than there is that the sun will rise to-morrow, and the men who are op posing it are as fully persuaded of this as the most sanguine advocate of the amendment is- No better proof of this need be asked than the desperate reckless campaign methods they have resorted to, the result of which will be to win for the amendment the support of thousands of voters who had been undecided, solidifying the conserva tive,, thoughtful white, men of the State and making the vote for the amendment overwhelming. - In a recent interview at Salisbury with thfrcorrespondent of the Raleigh News and Observer, Hon. Chas. B. Aycock, our candidate for Governor, t1.na nTnragsfid ma VIOWfl ATI T.hfi Slt- thus expressed his views on the sit uaiion and the outlook, at the same time counselling Democrats to be on the alert. He said: Havine been in that part of the State west of Greensboro for the past two months, I am gratined to be a Die to say that the conditions are most favorable for the Democracy, in the hpcrinninff there was Democratic un certainty in regard to the amendment. It needed explanation. J! onunaieiy for us, it did not need any defense, and wherever the explanation nas Deen made Democrats have readily fallen into lino, while all the Ponulists who voted with us in '98 or nearly all and many Republicans have deter mined to vote with us on the amend ment. "For the past month the enthusiasm has been marked and increasing, clos ing at Newton to day with the largest and most enthusiastic demonstration it has been mv pleasure to witness At Monroe on Wednesday there, was a great demonstration. I saw ladies past middle life on their way to the nlace of meeting in the hot noonday sun, carrying their own chairs in order that they might listen to the speech on the issues of the day. The interest everywhere is ab sorbing AtJNewton mere were nve thousand.people present, and, although it rained for twenty minutes and hard, at that, for a part of the time the crowd patiently waited till the speaking was resumed. I have never seen in any campaign such steadfast ness of purpose and determination as there is this vear. "There is no longer any doubt 01 the adoption of the amendment. Oar neoDle are weary with the bi ennial recurrence of the negro question in politics and they believe that the adop tion of the amendment will enable them to consider other questions with out endangering good government in the State. "The local tickets have now been nominated and 4he organization of our party is being rapidly perfected. 1 have never seen , the Democracy in better condition. The consciousness of being right has given to the party a wonderful impetus. "I would not convey the impression that we have reached the point in the campaign at which any Democrat can afford to become inactive. Uur ad versaries are incessantly at work, and, being desperate, will resort to any means to defeat us. It is. therefore. important that every Democrat should be on the alert and lose no opportunity to explain the Amendment to those who may be in doubt. I believe that if the election should be held to-day we would carry the amendment by twenty-five thousand majority, and, if we keep up the pres ent enthusiam in the work it will not surprise me to see the majority go to forty or fifty thousand. Democratic workers ought to be mindful of the fact that the Fusionists are at the last moment going to make a desperate ef fort to secure the Legislature and thereby over-ride the will of the peo pie. If they should secure the Leg islature there is no step too desperate for them to take to over-ride the will of the people and defeat the Constitu tional Amendment, even after it is adopted by the votes of the people. In his confidence of victory and in the estimate of the majority the amendment will receive, Mr. Aycock is in accord with other leading Democrats who are familiar with the State and the sentiments of the peo pie, some of them going even fur ther than he does on the majority the amendment will receive. All this, however, should not be get over-confidence, for victories are sometimes lost by that. Every man's vote counts, andi every man's vote is needed, for the majority for the amendment and the ticket should be made so large that it will be over whelming and- leave no ground for contests. The opposition must not only be defeated, but buried so deep that there will be no resurrection We must keep our eye on the Leg- islature, for while. the opposition is ostensibly making its fight against the amendment, they are fusing in every county they can with the hope of capturing a majority of the Leg' islature, and thus defeating the amendment by throwing out conn lies enough to do that. This is their game, and hence every Demo crat and friend of the amendment must be on the alert and not only work zealously for the amendment and the State ticket, but for our can didates for the Legislature, which 1 1 ' Tk i . - muse do democratic to make our victory complete and safe.

THE TOURNAMENT Opened Yesterday With Magnif icent Parade at 9 O'clock in the Morning. . ' THE VARIOUS CONTESTS Came Off as Scheduled in Fine Shape - Decisions Meeting With Heartiest Approvsl from the Firemen-To-day's Programme. Thousands of people yesterday morniDg witnessed the firemen's pa rade and street pageant, the inaugural event for the State and Inter-state tournament which at the close of the first day promises to be one of the most satisfactory ever held in North Carolina. The parade was a complete success, reflecting much credit upon Capt Ed. Wilson Manning, Chief Marshal, and his corps of assistants, which were for the most part selected from members of the old volunteer companies and military organizations. The parade was more than a mile long and was fifteen minutes in passing a given point. The line and order of march was identical with that announced be forehand. In the first division came a platoon of mounted policemen, and the Second Regiment Band, followed,by carriages in which were seated prominent fire men and citizens. Capt. James D. Mc Neill, of Pajetteville, and Chief Schnibben, of Wilmington, rode in Chief Schnibben's buggy. Then came a carriage iowhich were Mayor Baker, ofTarboro; Major Waddell, of Wil mington; Messrs. M. W. Jacobi and M. Rathjen, of the local executive com mittee. In the. next carnage were Treasurer T. A. Qjeen, of the Associa tion; ex Mayor S. H. Fishblate, of the local executive committee; County Treasurer H. McL. Green and George L. Peschau, EsqM of Wilmington. In the next were Messrs. L. J. Taylor, of Newborn; Mayor Cook, of. Fayette ville, and D. L. Ward, Esq., of New born. In the next were Chief Capps and daughter, of Salisbury ; Chief Mad dry, of Durham; Assistant Chief Lew eleyn, of Durham. In the next were Mr. W. D. Barrington, of Newbern; Foreman H. W. Hood, of Mohoghah Hose Company No. 1 of Sumter. In the last carriage were Chief Bain, of Goldsboro; Mr. J. W. Glover, of Salis bury; Mr. John Lewis, of Greensboro; Ray Price, ef Salisbury. In the second division of the parade, commanded by Mr. Thos. H. Wright, of the Wilmington Light Infantry, were companies from Greensboro, Ashe ville, Henderson, Fayetteville and Durham. The third division was commanded by Capt. O. A. Wiggins, and the com panies in tne procession were irom Winston, Charlotte, Tarboro, Salem and Goldsboro. The fourth division was command ed by Lieut. H. M. Chase, of the Wil mington Naval- Reserves, and con sisted of companies from Newbern, Spencer and Rocky Mount. Those in buggies were Chief Richardson and Mr. J. W. Stewart, of Newbern ; Capt. Ellis Williams, of the Newbern At lantic Seniors, and Capt. W. J. Mc Sorley, of the Newbern" Atlantic Juniors. The fifth division was commanded' by Mr. J. M. Cazaux, and consisted of the five companies in the Wilmington department and a beautiful float by the Howard Relief Fire Engine Com pany, of Wilmington, which was by far the most attractive feature of the entire pageant In the float were seated a number of young ladies, charmingly costumed and daughters of living or deceased members of the comnany. . Opening Of The Tournament. The first event of the tournament proper was the quick steaming con test, best time, start to finish, which took place at 12 o'clock on Third be tween Red Cross and Grace streets. The first prize in this contest is $50 ; second $25. The Newbern '-Button" Company No. 1, came off with the honors in 2:371-5 minutes, lowering the State and world's records by 15 seconds. . Members of the winning team are: Engineer H. P. Willis, As sistant Engineer W. E. Smith, Fore man L. A. Taylor, L. J. Taylor, Wal ter Brinson, F. F. Matthews, T. C. Daniels and John Gaskill. The "But ton" made the State record last year and Che "boys" are rejoicing over their success yesterday. The second prize was also taken by Newbern with the Atlantic Team, No. 1, which held the State championship belt three years in succession. The Atlantics made the time in 2:113 5. The team was composed of Ellis Wil liams (captain), John Tolson, Fred Richardson, (chief of the department) Coy Jordan, W. ,H. Ramsey, Joe Richardson, L. Tolson, John Williams, E. Brinson, T. J. Roberts, W. H. Griffin. The third and last entry for this con test was the Winston Steam Fire En gine Company No. 1, their time having been 6:54 2-5. The team was crreatlv handicaped by the large size of the engine, while Newborns apparatus was light and better adapted to racing purposes. The time keepers for the race were Messrs. E. P. Bailey, F. T. Mills and S. J. Davis. The race was 200 yards," take suction, attach hose and throw water 50 feet from nozzle through 98 feet of hose. , Afternoon Contests. The horse hose wagon and hook and ladder contests, beginning at 3 o'clock, were witnessed by large crowds from the grand stand on Market between Sixth and Eighth streets. The race .......t.A.A.A..

In the horse .hose wagou race the Eclipse Company Nol, of Goldsboro, was the winner, making the race, coupling to the hydrant and showing ; water through extended hose in 882 5 ' seconds. - J The entries and the order iuwliich they can e with time were as follows: J Goldsboro "Eclipse No 1," 382 5; seconds. j 40 2 5 seconds. Newbern "Atlantic No. 1." 421 5 Newbern "Button Company No. 1, "40 1-5 seconds. Winston "Hose Company, No. 2," 42 seconds. Goldsboro "Hose Company No. 1," ruled out. The first prize of $100 went to Golds boro Eclipse; the second, of $60, to Newbern Button No. 1, and the third, of $40, to Wilson Hose Company No. 3. Mr. W. C.TonGIahn was starter for the races, Mr. M. T. Gwathmey, of Tarboro, plug judge and Messrs. Bailey, JMills and Davis, timekeepers. Before the contest . began Durham was incapacitated by her-co:npahy's horse running away with a wagou which was loaned by the Fayettevile department. The horse was - unused to the vehicle and got beyond control of Driver Alex Harriss, who when a shaft was broken was thrown to the ground but fortunately was not hurt. The horse with which the Newbern "Button" Company took first prize is twenty-two years old and has been in continuous fire service in Newbern for seventeen years. Winston Company No. 2, through mistake, laid one length of , hose more than was required or she might have lowered her record. Goldsbjro Hose Company No. 1 made th9 prettiest run of the day and would without a doubt have taken one of the prizps but for an unfortunate accident at the hydrant. The wrench man by accident turned on the water too soon and the hoseman was greeted with a "shower bath" as he was about to attach his hose. It was very disap pointing to the Goldsboro boys, to say the least. It was six o'clock before the State hook and ladder contest took place and Asheville was the winner, making the run, sending a man up the ladder and placing all the apparatus back on the truck in 52 1 5 seconds. There were only two entries and Winston came second with 53 1-5 seconds. The first and only prize in this contest was $100. ; The last event for the day was the long 'distance engine contest, which took place at Market dock shortly be fore 7 o'clock. There were only two entries, Winston and Rocky Mount, the first named having won the first prize of $50, with a distance of 217 feet, and Rocky Mount, of course, came second, with 208J feet. The second prize was $25. Rocky Mount was handicapped in size of engine and loca tion. The contest was spirited and was witnessed by a very large crowd. All the contests were very friendly and entirely satisfactory to all con cerned. The judges were warmly com mended for their fairness and impar tiality and the various contestants, each one, will go home with only words of praise for the Wilmington Tournament.

The wholeolj yesterday's session of the Criminal Court was taken up with the trial of "Peace or Percy of Domi nica," the Indian or negro half breed fanatic, who caused the death of one of his women subjects by inducing her to prolong a "holy" fast incident to his pernicious religious belief in whichj he had gathered around him a dozen or more believers in the negro quarters of "Brooklyn." The case will probably consume the entire time of the court again to-day and perhaps a part of to-j morrow's session. - Dr. Price, the coroner, Dr. McMil lan, Superintendent of Health, and a number of other Witnesses for the State were examined yesterday after which Solicitor Duffy rested his case. Only one witness was examined for the defendant, whose interests by ap pointment of the court are guarded by Brooke G. Empie and L. V. Grady, Esqr'a. Stab readers will remember that he is being tried for manslaughter. ' SPEAKING IN NEW HANOVER. Chairman E. P. Johnson Makes Announce ment of the Time and Places. Chairman E. F.
