ElilTOBIAIi REMARKS
A vote for Buxton is
an
endorsement of all the Sim-
mons vote-stealing machine
includes.
Mr. Buxton talks about
trusts but have you heard
him say anything against
the Southern ballot, trust,

v Bryan and Buxton make
an excellent pair of clowns
in the anti-impen alistic fan-
daneo circus but a miserably
'Door substitute" for the full
; dinner pan.
There is the same diff
erence between the demo
cratic and republican argu
ments this year that there
is : between a full . din ne r
pail and a pocket full of
rotten eggs. Will you take
rotten eggs in yours?
We are under lasting obli
gations to some Buxton dem
ocrat for sending us a nice
roll of side-show J. B. For
tune's advertisements for
speaking in the 8th; they
make -nice Yellow, Jacket
-
wrappers.
If you oppose such a state
of affairs as prevailed prior
to '97 when the democrats
had control of this country
then walk out and vote a
gainst Buxton and Brryan.
They believe in the very
-DOlicies that hrniierM "hnnrl

Having no real issues to
discuss it is natural for the
democrats to 'hatch, up all
, sorts of charges against the
republican candidates th is
year. It needn't surprise
any one to hear of some
democratic editor making
the discovery that Spencer
"D1- .1.1 i tt
jLia.ciiuurn is DOin a
horse
thief and a high-way robber
befor the election.
xSlackburn is ; conducting
his canvas on business prin
ciples. He speaks bus iness
to business men. His Argu
ments reach the hearts of
the; people, .Buxton howls
about imperialism, trusts',
and militaryismjancj
other old thing tfiatl tie can
use to detract the attention
of the people from the issues
and from the prosperity and
progress of the republican
party. Blackburn appeals
to reason, Buxton to preju
The Goebel law of Ky.
has been condemned by the
democrats of Kentucky, so
now let the people of North
Carolina condemn the N. C.
Goebel law by voting against
every man who belongs to
the Simmons machine.
When you vote for Mr. Bux
ton, you vote to uphold Goe
belism in N. C. Are you
going ta do this, or will you
work for and vote for the
party that represents' honest
election, fair voting and
true counting? There is no
time to lose.
That distinguished Ex
Rray of moral integrity and
devoted dispenser of Bull
Pen Simmons' liver regula
tor and other democratic de
coctions, known within a rad
ius of 10 miles of Wilkesboro,
N. C. as the Chronile, has
made the( startling discovery
that E. Spencer Blackburn
as U. S. Com. in Ashe, did
some very crooked work.
This presistent parroter of
Simmonism and hooter at
"Mark Hanner," declared
that he has authority for the
charges. No doubt of it.
But who is authority? Is it
man who has never been
known to invent political
schemes to fool the honest
people? No, bless your life,
not by a jug full. Its au
thority is a hot-headed ma
chine democrat, a man who
would deny that water was
wet if it suited the policy of
the democratic party, and
more, he is a man who
was the instigator and cir
culator of a letter a few
years ago, purporting to be
from Grover Cleveland which
stated that the old Duck
Shooter was a free silver
man.
It is anJionor to Mr. Black
burn to have his integrity
assailed by any man who
would try to palm off Grover
Cleveland upon the peo pie
as a free silverite, and as to
the Chronicle's own vapor
ings little attention need be
given. Republicans before
have defied it and lived
lived beyond prison walls,
loved and respected and
they will do it again; if the
court knows herself , and we
think she do.

It is not our motto to grum
ble, and we do not now enter a
general grumble, but we don't
believe that some of the good
people in the 8th Congressional
District are doing their duty.
Some aro making sacrifices in
order to make our ticket win,
but there are others who do
not seem to realize the great
importance of electing their
nominee to Congress. We
have a majority of voters just
as assuredly as the sun rises
and sets,, but if we $ not get
together and pull our full
strength for the ticket our
strength will amount to noth
ing! Let the people of each
precinct in the District get to
gether and organize themselves
and see that their people are all
registered and that their box
contributes its full share of the
vote for Mr. Blackburn on
election day. Union Republi
can.
Our Democratic friends can't
tell things right ; they won,t
tell them right; they won't
let the people know the truth ;
they live on the swill of pre
judice and become rampant
upon their clamor. Crockodile
tears are shed in the Sentinel
and in other neighboring con
temporaries over the fact that
District Attorney Holton added
a few counts to the bill of in
dictment against Registrars
Thompson and Wall, and a
heart rending tale is told about
bow these defendants escaped
the "tyranny" and "persecu
tion" and 'intimidation,,, (such
words !) which was about to be
heaped upon them, by getting
the trial continued. Oh no,
Jonny, not much of this, Mr.
Holton in order to have the
trial and save the expense of
postponing offered to take a
nolpros as to the new counts,
eh? But they would 'nt go to
trial on the old counts either,
and they swore to the Judge
that they were not ready to go
into trial on the old counts.
Union Republican .
Consent of the Governed,
Government without the con
sent of the govrned in the Phil
ippines, according to the Bryan
dogma, is imperialism. Ac
cording to the same authority
"government without the con
sent of the governed' ' in North
Carolina is white supremacy.
The--s Philippine experiment is
a menace to the republic. The
North Carolina experiment
means higher civilization. What
is a crime against humanity in
the Philippines is patriotic and
right in North Carolina. It
is imperialism to use the
shotgun to protect the A
merican flag in the Philip
pines, but it is a patriotic
duty to use the same argu-
-. . s
ment against the right of
suttrage m?JNortn Carolina.
In' the Philippines the in
surgent is shot to death be
cause he defies the authority
of the United-States. If
necessary, in North Carolina,
to disfranchise the colored
voter and govern him with- L
out nis consent, it is rignt
and proper to shoot, him to
death or. count .his vote
against him. f
And who are the im
ists? The men ; who saved
the republic from dismem
berment. The men who have
made the republic. The par
ty whose ' legislation has
broadened it and established
it in the affection of the A
merican people. The party
under whose guardainship it
has grown into the greatest,
the richest, and most power
ful nation on earth. The
party that stands for equal
right's, humanity, the law,
progress, civilization. The
savages who arebootingt
down American soldiers, in
the Philippine islands are
defying the lawful authority
of the United States. They
are insurgants insurrec
tionists, bandits, outlaws.
Is it imperialism to compel
them to obey the law and
submit to the supreme author
ity in that island? And who
calls it imperialism? Bryan.
And he sets the pace for
the little -fellows like Sim
mons in this state and the
whole pack including . Troy
and Sweetheart, yelp to the
same music. lyittle wonder
the self respecting democrats
are disgusted with this
crowd. There ought not
to be any guessing or hesi
tation about their vote in
the November election. The
state has been discredited
long enough. It has been
sufficiently punished. Save
it in the name of civiliz ation
from this last damning dis
grace . Gazet te , A sheville ,

A Voice From Ashe
See here, young man, what
are you doing to help elect Mr
Blackburn? Are you simply sit
ting still hoping he will be elect
ed? If you are, let me urge you
to go to work not tomorrow or
next week, but today. Remem
ber that the enemy's only hope
of defeating Mr. Blackburn lies
in the intended prostitution of
the ballot, therefore you should
arrise, one and all, in your de
termination to make his major
ity so large that it cannot be
stolen. Remember, too, that
Mr. Blackburn, besides being
eminently deserving as a zeal
ous Republican and a high-toned
gentleman, is a young man
brought up here among you,
that he understands you and
sympathizes with you in your
efforts to surmount the obstacles
which always confront those
who would climb.
' 'Spencer ' as he is to those
of us who have watched his
marvelous progress, has not
been pampered in the lap of lux
ury, but, like many . of those
whose names have -brightened
the pages of our Nation's history,
he has through his own perse
verance . climbed steadily on
ward and upward never falter
ing in his purpose to , "rise" in
spite of the low, malicious char
acters whose only avocation in
life is to hinder those who have
outstripped them. And he has
arisen as few other young -men
in this section have done, aild
his many friends in "Old Ashe"
who know him best, -will show
on election day that , they de-,,
lightfio i honor Him most.'-
So now, bid man, whom ex
perience has taught what life's
struggle means middle-aged
man having sons of your own
whom you would inspire with
the spirit of emulation young
man especially those of y ou who
will on Nov. 6th cast your first
ballot , rally around for your
intrepid standard-barer.
Let no day pass from now un-
ti
w
1 the close of this campaign in
hich you do not win at least
one vote for young and brilliant
Blackburn.
Bury the representations of
fraud and dishonor with their
"tools'" deep beneath an ava
lanche of votes and give the 8th
Congressional District of N. G.
the honor of sending to the next
House of Representatives its
youngest member. -
Patriot.
THE TABLET OF LIFE
(Pilula At Lomgan Vitum.)
The Scientific Discovery of
the gre!
The Magic Key to the Mys
tery of Iiife!
Frdm times immemorial it has been
man's predominating ambition to pro
long life. But among the many brilliant
minds, wlio have devoted their lives to
the fascinating subject, it was left for the
immortal Darwin to give to the world, in
his great theory of I4fe, the fundamental
principle upon which to build all further
research in this direction. Following
closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr.
Iyudwig Buechrier, a German scientist of
international renown, with his remarka
ble work entitled "Das Buch des Xangen
Iebens" (the book on longevity. ) But
alas, like Darwin he too died ere he could
reap the fruit of his wonderful doctrine.
Others however, equally great took up
the interrupted thread! with the result
that two famous German scientists, after
years of experiments and research, have
at last discovered the secret of longevity
in the shape of a remarkable Vegetable
Compound, which, if properly used, will
positively prolong Iife. This new reme
dy appropriately named "Iongavita"
(meaning Ivong Iyife) has been subjected
to the most rigid tests at all the leading
clinics and hospitals throughout Kurope
with marvelous results. Appreciating
the importance of this discovery, we
have acquired, at enormous cost, the t ex
clusive proprietary right to this truly
wonderful preparation, which has pioved
a blessing to mankind. 'Longavita ' ' is
the true Tablet of Iif e, a rejuvenator par
excellence, embodying the veritable sec
ret of longvityin a practical, feasible
form. It is. the fountain of perpetual
youth, which it prolongs far beyond its
present limits, while retaining health in
a perfectly, normal state. 'Ivongavita"
brightens the eye, stimulates mental ac
tivity, gives elasticity to the step, makes
the face full, absorbs wrinkles, cleanses
the system, purifies the skin, and is the
only true Ponce de Ieon remedy for old
and young of both sexes. Endorsed by
Europe's leading physicians.
