The Baltimore papers speak in the highest terms of the speech of Gov ernor Aycock ill that city* on Saturday night. The Sun printed a large pic ture of the Governor. The meeting was a great one and our eloquent Governor evidently was at hts best, which is but another way of saying that no other speaker, except William Jennings Bryan, could have made so fine a political speech. The reports in the papers show that his speech was punctuated from 3tart to finish with laughter ani applause Jin.* .s "bat the Baltimore San says of the speech: ‘‘When Governor Aycock was pre sented by Mr. Poe the great crowd rose 10 its feet as one i ion and lor minutes shouted its welcome to 'he distinguisn- 1 North Cai•dimac "'T se strong and stirring speech thrilled hir, audience through and through, pro voking uncontrollable cheers that swept from end to end of the hall with a force that seemed lo shako the Dig 1. .t *f “From the first to the las* word his audience was with liim. and when Governor Aycock drew a vivid picture of the conditions before awl after th* memorable race war in North Caro lina the enthusiasm appeared to leap all hounds and tne •.•row! roared its a Phi'.' a!. •Jn vigorous sve’l chosen words he toid of the disfranchisement the negro in his own tStatG and of the tremendous benefits that had come to the whole people from this action, and closed with an earnest appeal to the white people of Maryland to follow in th» lead ot' North Carolina and her sister States of the South by uik’iig the ballot away from the illiterate ne gro, both for the good of the negro and themselves. Throughout his speech the Governor used the word “nigger,” and this made i big hit with til** C l Wd.” After Governor Aycock had spoken, Senator Gorman was called upon, and, before beginning his speech, paid Governor Aycock this graceful com pliment: “Fellow Democrats, it is not my in tention to detain you more than a few moments. Being a soldier in the ranks, I have obeyed Murray Vandi ver’s order to appear here and join you in giving hearty welcome to a dis tinguished young Democrat from New Y«rk, Mr. Page; another distin guished Democrat from Georgia, tnd the eloquent and distinguished Gov ernor of North Carolina, whose words have just thrilled your hearts and to whom next year Maryland will make her how and send the message that in his speech here tonight he has is sued a new declaration of independ ence and that the white people of this State have freed themselves from the black pall which threatens us.” MORGAN DOES NOT THROW AWAY MONEY. One year ago J. Pierpont Morgan and others in the Northern Securi ties Company were denouncing Roosevelt. They didn’t quit it until four weeks ago. Then they suddenly changed front, put up millions to elect Roosevelt, and are working to elect him. Why? Is there a six-year old hoy in America who believes that Morgan has not received such assur ances as satisfy him that his cam paign contribution will not pay him well? Morgan does not throw away money. Mr. Wm. C. Hudson, who makes the election estimates for the Brooklyn Eagle, is today the most popular Dem ocrat in America. His predictions, which have been uni forme, ly correct, have cheered every Democratic heart from Maine to Texas. May he live long and prosper and may all his pre dictions come true. Senator Gorman gives names and places that prove that the trusts are putting up the stuff” to elect Roose velt. They expect to he repaid, favor for favor. The trusts make no mis take in spending their campaign funds. They get what they pay for ecery time. The Republicans do not deny that their campaign fund i 3 eight million dollars and that it was contr,billed mainly by trusts. The people know that the trusts do not place their mon ey except where it brings them large returns on their investment. Parker and Gorman have done ‘‘a plenty” to Roosevelt’s irate denial and vicious hurling of epithets. MR. GORMAN PITS ON THE CLINCHER. The replies of Judge Parker and Senator Gorman to the vicious letter of Mr. Roosevelt should be read to gether. Mr. Roosevelt, with a show of wrath and the use of billingsgate not becoming the Chief Executive of America, in his denial of the charges made by three great New York papers and emphasized by Judge Parker, is notable for two things: 1. He admits that trusts, which are benefitted by the protective tariff and are violating the anti-trust law, have contributed to the fund that is being used to elect him. 2. While vigorous and abusive in his denial of having made any agree ment to give immunity to the con ti ibuting trusts, Mr. Roosevelt is very careful to refrain from saving that if elected he will vigorously prosecute the trusts. If he had made that pledge his letter would have have been received with more approval by the American people. Less abuse of Parker and a plain pledge like that would have been more to the point. The spirit of Judge Parker’s reply was admirable. It displayed no ill temper or resentment. It was plain, straightforward, manly and in man ner was as worthy of a candidate for the Presidency as Mr. Roosevelt’s was nuworthy of the President of the United States. His arraignment of the evil, his showing that Roosevelt shut Ills eyes and closed Ids mouth until the money had been paid in by the trusts, and his own dec’aration that he had requested the Democratic Na tional managers “that they should not receive, directly or indirectly, from any trusts, money for campaign pur poses, and that I would rattier he de feated than he fettered” will deeply impress the thoughtful American citizenship as the frank declaration of an earnest and honest man. Judge Parker could have made his answer “peppery” if he had been so minded, but he determineil not to he goaded into a departure from his well con sidered policy of indulging in no mud slinging or making any utterance be neath the dignity of the great office to which he expects to he elected today. In the very nature of the case, Judge Parker could not prove that the money passed —that is admitted. He could not prove that verbal promises were made —he never so charged. But he knew that an “understanding’ had been reached whereby J. Pier pont Morgan, Rockefeller and other great trust interests publicly announc ing their hostility to Roosevelt less than one year ago are now putting up the money for his election. Why? In his speech at Baltimore on Saturday night. Senator Gorman added the on* fact to Judge Parker’s speech neces sary to confound Mr. Roosevelt. Read Judge Parker’s speech and Sen ator Gorman’s speech together and the conclusion is irresistible that the trusts have paid for favors which they expect to get and which they will get if Roosevelt is elected. Senator Gor man said: “In the case now before us there has been a terrific arraignment by the press of the abuse which the President has made of his great office. Finally, Judge Parker, our candidate, realiz ing that by prearrangement it was being charged through the press, while not officially by the Republican party, in away that amounted to the same thing, that his nomination and election was being sought by one of these great combines possibly more obnoxious than any other one in the country, determined to take the Amer ican people into his confidence and to show them conclusively that lie lias not the support of a single trust in the country. He went beyond this and charged that, in his judgment, condi tions were such as to warrant the accu sation that the Republican campaign had been so organized as to compel contributions of money from com bines that were getting undue advan tage under Republican laws. He has been replied to by the President of the United States. This night, while I am talking here, Judge Parker is making answer to this President, and I tell you, my friends, he is abundant ly able to take care of himself. Roosevelt “Broke Loose.” “President Roosevelt has broken away from his keepers. It was agreed one week ago that the charge made by Judge Parker should be answered by Mr. Root and then again by Mr. Knox, hut the rope was not strong enough and the desire of Ilte Presi dent was too pressing, and he broke loose. And what did he say? He said: ‘lt is not a question as to whether or not the corporations have contributed, because they have, but it is only a question of a corrupt under standing between Cortelyou, myself and the trusts that we will grant them favors in case I am elected.’ “It is admitted, then, that the com bines have contributed. That much being established, I think we can prove the rest of the charge. I am not a lawyer, but I will leave it to my old friend, former Attorney General Poe here if, when I am through, any jury in the land would not convict on the circumstantial evidence that has been submitted. There is not a single missing link and the whole chain is complete. Had Received Warning. “The President says in this reply that he reluctantly made Mr. Cortel you the chairman after he had failed to get Mr. Root and Mr. Crane of Massachusetts, to consent to take the place. He might have added with equal truth that the older and wiser heads of the Republican party pointed out to him that if he took this man, then the head of the Department of Commerce and Labor, honorable man though he he, and placed him in charge of his campaign, he would place him in a position where the charge that is now being made against him would be made. They pointed out that it would be asserted and be lieved thar this charge was the reason why this man was put at the head of the committee. “Now, then, there was not a single captain of industry' in this country who was not opposed to the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt and who, after his nom- THE DAILY NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N. C, TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 8. 1f,04 ‘ ination —in the early days—was not opposed to his election. They were opposed not because they' thought he was dishonest—because no one thinks that—but because they believed the make-up to be such as to lead him to do extraordinary and unusual acts of a kind to bring trouble upon the country and upon them. They were opposed to him. and it was heralded abroad that no matter who ran against him, if he were only ‘safe and sane,’ they would support him as against Roosevelt. Then Cortelyou took charge, and immediately there was a great change, and now there is not a single one of these captains of industry who is not supporting Roosevelt and working for his election. “Their conversion has been sudden, but it is also complete. What brought it about? What in duced a man like J. Pierpont Morgan to change his opinions of the desirability of electing Roosevelt? Why did Mr. Harriman, president of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and one of the owners and managers of the Northern Securities Company, suddenly turn over to Roosevelt and become his collector and sponsor? What was it induced all of these men, whose names stand for untold thous ands of dollars, to suddenly and com pletely change In their attitude to “vtl the President? What was it? There is but one answer—fear; fear of the power of the Administration; fear that there was no telling what these men with the power to open their banks and get at their secrets might do. “Did Cortelyou make a bargain? Oh, no. The President says it would have covered Cortelyou atid him with infamy, and Cortelyou has told him that he would go into office, if elected, unbound by a single promise to a sin gle corporation or trust. And the President was only too glad to believe Cortelyou. Tells of Meeting. “Let Cortelyou tell what he knows. Ask Cortelyou if Mr. Cornelius N. Bliss, the well known treasurer of the National Republican committee, did not enll a meeting four weeks ago in one of the best known offices in Wall Street.. .Ask him if he will deny that at that meeting there were present, besides Mr. Bliss. K. 11. Tlarrhnan. of the Union Pacifie; G. P. Perkins, of Morgan & Co.: Mr. Stillman, the great Standard Oil banker; Jacob 11. SchilY, banker and railroad magnate, and others. 'Will lie deny that ex-Secre tary of Wrr Root, the consulting coun sel aiul director general of all mat ters relating to Federal legislation affecting the combines, was pres ent? Ask him to deny that after hearing the statements of Mr. Root that the President was no longer so strenuous and had reached a point where he lx die veil business interests were not to be interfered with, wheth er they did not resolve that they would finance the campaign and see the elec tion through? No Promising Necessary. “Did Cortelyou promise them any thing? Why, no, it was not necessary. Somebody simply winked both eyes, everybody understood and the tiling was donei accepted by all. Every one of these men and the others, too, are all in line, and their loyalty, their support and their money are with the Republicans. It is as well known as that this is the sth of November that almost without exception every one of the men who were at the head of the great corporation who denounced Roosevelts nomination and were op posed to his election are now his sup porters. The Armours and the Beef Combine, have they not publicly an nounced their desire for it is election? The eonveision lias been complete, and, let me tell sou my friends, these thirty inert do not make investments on pate talk, and when Licy consent to finance the Republican campaign they know why they are doing it. Dares Opponents to Show' Books. “The President says, ‘Where is the evidence? Why, it is one of those cases where the circumstantial evi dence is strong enough to. convict the man. Where is the evidence? Open your hooks and we will show you the evidence. Open your hooks, put Cor telyou and Bliss on the stand under oath and the Democrats will open theirs and show you every dollar of the money they have. That is the way to get the evidence if any more is v/anted. “The public would acquit the Dem ocrats of the charge of having re ceived money from the trusts before the investigation, as our poverty is too well known. Poverty sometimes is inconvenient, but it does not mean the loss of honor or of manhood. I have had some political experience and have passed through a number of elec tions, but I freely confess that the con ditions in this campaign are the most peculiar I have ever known. From the best information I can get, how ever, and after the most careful esti mate I am absolutely satisfied that this Presidential election will not be bought, no matter how much money is to he used. “Mr. Tilden said: ‘lf the Presidency is to he put up at auction I will not lx* a bidder.*..! say to von tonight that our patty tiud bettor, dke an hon orable mat. twiye over lose tin* Presi dency than lose its own honor.” Neither Mr. Gorman r.or Judge Parker aro men to make statements except after careful investigation. Their statements, with all the attend ant circumstances furnish better evi dence to convict Roosevelt and Cor telyou than the jury had for convict ing McCue. Independent of the fact detailed at this meeting by Mr. Gor man. the circumstantial evidence is so perfect—there is not a chain missing —that no jury would hesitate, to con vict upon it. Gentlemen of the Jury: Take the case, consider the evidence and render your verdict in accordance with the evidence. Vote early. See that your neigh bor votes, too.

HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS A CAMPAIGN FROM THE “GREEN ROOM.” The “reply” of the President to the charges preferred by Judge Parker is nothing more than the ebullition of rage of a man who, placed through his own fault in an indefensible posi tion, seeks to beg the question by the use of terms of vicious personal abuse. Actions will always speak louder than words and thinking people are not slow to run the true line be tween cause and effect. When Secretary of Commerce Cor telyou was named as chairman by Mr. Roosevelt, the circumstance of his closely subservient relationship to the President, coupled with the pe culiar functions of the department of which he had been named the head and the almost instant moderation in the tone of the trusts and the trust papers which up to tijat time had been violent in their opposition to the administration, caused an unwel come suspicion to pervade the entire country. When a little later the trusts turned en masse from opposi tion to cordial support and the Re publican campaign coffers began to overflow with trust contributions, the suspicion became a conviction that could only be removed by proof or by an explicit and detailed denial. The people have always been ready to believe their President when he has spoken frankly. But what does Roosevelt say? Merely, with a flow of denunciation couched in the lan guage of the prpoletariat and the “green room” that the charge that he had made an agreement with the trusts was an “infamous and atro cious falsehood,” etc., and his state ment of his intentions was that he proposed to give everybody a “square deal.” It was admitted that the trusts were contributing to the Republican campaign fund and it will take but a smal 1 reflection to show that the trusts —which have no soul, no per sonal predelictions and no principles —could have other than strictly business motives for doing so. The very size of the trusts and the enor mity of their profits is proof enough of their business capacity. Now bus iness gives nothing save for value re ceived. Is it a sane proposition that the very interests which were one month abusing the administration to high heaven should have been con verted to Roosevelt or influenced to give up their money through any abstract principle or political senti ment? Does there live the man who has ever received money from a trust except byway of some sort of a con tract, either express or implied? The answer is all too evident. But, nothing else appearing, the closing words of Mr. Roosevelt s let ter should be in themselves enough to compass his defeat. “A square deal!” That is an expression which may take with people whose admiration is lixed on swash-buckling tactics, on the gamblers of the green room and the race track, and the pugs of the prize ring. It may even pass in,, busin**_s which by its nature recurs consta.L ly to the old principle of the survival of the fittest. But it does not come well from the mouth of the Chief Executive of a great nation. It shows in the very emphasis of its declaration the drift of the mind of the man and the policy of his party. It suggests that politics is a matter of finance based on the Idea of winning as one can! “A square deal!” It is what the faro dealer remarks as he shoots the cards from his box, what the book maker says as he lays his odds, what the ring champion claims when he reaches the point of the jaw. It is a situation that holds the menace of desperate results, when the President must think it necessary to assure “a square deal” —especially when the as sertion itself is coupled with wild adjectives and is unsupported by the facts. The Republican party has this year gone always to the card games for its thunder, has looked alone to bet ting odds for its arguments. It has ‘‘stood pat” and laid down its money as though that ended the discussion. “Standing pat” at the beginning, it promises at the end of the campaign to give a “square deal”. Both the at titude and the phrases are more than undignified—they are significant. “Stand pat” means that the holder of the hand draws no cards. Does the last expression imply that, having filled his hand, from the bottom of the deck, the President now makes announcement that he will permit his opponents to take the chances of a draw from the cards that remain? It is high time for honest men to upset the table and quit the game. FINALLY BRETHREN. The State Democratic campaign closed last night with speeches by Governor Aycock at Goldsboro and Governor-to-be Glenn at Greensboro —closed in a blaze of enthusiasm, ut terly routing old man Apathy who has been the only foe the North Carolina Democrats have had to fight this year. Yesterday a half dozen important ral lies were held and the last appeals made to voters by eloquent orators. The last word has been said. To day the ballots will he deposited ana tonight will tell the tale of the Dem ocratic majority' in this good State. Every advocate of good government, education and temperance will hope that the vote will he large and that Governor Glenn’s majority will he the largest on record. * One word more: Vote. Do not say “It is not necessary for me to vote The Democrats are certain to win. Yes, hut if every Democrat took that view, the Democrats could not win. It is as much your duty as it is the duty of any other ot the 136,000 Dem ocrats who voted in 1902. Every e:ti- nen owes it to hiruself and Ids countG to vote and to vote right- Vote early! Vote right. BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM. The deepest interest in the ejection today .is in the presidency. That isl very natural and very pi ope r, am - ie voters of North Carolina should con, tribute all they can to swelling the majority for Parker. Let’s make it a record-making majority. Democrats! There is but one way to do it, and that is for every Democrat to vote. North Carolina Democrats, zealous in support of Parker would love to help in the doubtful States, They cannot do that, therefore they ought to do their duty, “beginning at Jeru salem” A full vote in North Caro lina will give such a rebuke to Roose velt Ism and Radicalism as would em phasize the feeling of Southern people against his un-American and sectional plans*. THEN AND NOW. How much money has Cortelyou spent? The Democratic National Committee says five million dollars. Mr. Cortelyou says he has had only half as much as Hanna had in 1896. p-eq iHmrp sAt*s iso c j uo}3uii{S'BA\. yI LL sixteen million dollars, of which one million was spent in Ohio alone. Then Hanna had to spend in over a dozen states*. Cortelyou has had to spend in only six states. Therefore he has spent more than Hanna in New York, Indiana. New Jer.se- Connecticut and West Virginia. ELECTION J l ETt KNK. The News and Observer will keep “open house" tonight and will be glad to see its friends. It had been the intention of the pa per to display the returns, as usual, in front of the office, but we have agreed to furnish copies of bulletins to the proprietor of the Academy of Music, and to citizens who have en gaged Metropolitan Hall, where elec tion returns will be displayed. It will be more comfortable to hear the news Indoors than on the street. It has been officially decided that Spencer Blackburn is not a legal resi dent of the Eighth district, and can not vote today. Good-bye Soldier Boy. Ta-ta! Parker has had a heap of good luck. Devery has declared for Roosevelt. ISN’T THIS SHAMEFUL? That the Law Can Fine a Man Fifty Dollars Only l'or Such a Deed. (Special to News and Observer.) Asheville, N. <’., Nov*. 7 —ln court this morning “Skeeter” Towe was fined SSO and costs, the maximum punishment. He was charged with conducting a disorderly house, while two girls, Daisy Thompson and Mol lie Sneed, occupants of the house, were fined $-5 and costs, each charged with 'aiding and abetting. It is said that a complaint had come to the ears of the officers that the woman was keeping a girl in her house for im moral purposes, who was under four teen years of age, and Patrolmen Page and Williams investigated the affair, found the young girl in the house and made arrest. It is said that the girl is twelve years of age. After hearing the evidence Judge Jones imposed the heaviest fine that was within his power on the keeper of the house and $25 and costs each upon the other two. The judge also ordered that the girl be removed from the place and sent to her home. Democrats have suddenly become aggressive and*deffant, following Judge Parker’s example. Republicans have become terribly in earnest and slight ly uneasy over the increased confi dence of their opponents. Neither side has forgotten the landslide of 1892, and both are prepared to do their utmost on election day.—New York Herald. « Reidsville, N.
