In all editorials in the Patkox and Gleaner we try to "strike out the top and bottom and con dense the middle." Bife is too short and time too precious to peruse a whole column to get what might be said in half a doz en lines. . It has been the policy of this paper from its foundation to have no long editorials, and in our ef fort to sav much in a few words we sometimes fail to make bur selves thoroughly understood. For instance in our remarks last week we had no intention to threaten our county commission ers, but to aid them in securing honest election officers. We have since learned -'that some people have claimed that we threatened them, but we don't think our ed itorial will bear that cqnstruction. We are sure that the com missioners did not so take it. Wo claim that North ampton has as good a board of county commissioners as is to he found in any county in the State. This is generally con ceded by all who know them. They have the respect and confi dence of our people and give gen eral satisfaction ; but very little complaint is heard. It was far from our intention to threaten them in any way. In .our observations last week about honest elections it was not our intention to charge fraud up on any party or individual, and we are surprised that our remarks should be so interpreted, as we are informed they have been. There has been so much said about fraud in elections that we simply wanted to state our posi-. tion. We don't believe that fraud or intimidation is confined to any one party. The only intimidation in elections that has come under innr rwrfinnfil observation were the cases of two colored teachers in Northampton who lost their posi tions as teachers because they did not vote the "straight" ticket of opposed to fraud in elections or Qtl1tMvwA aml hftlieve in a lypni"AV " " - ..... i free ballot, honest elections and - . . i i - counts, but in expressing our nninion we do not mean to reflect r . - - upon any party. e believe tnat :t ;a .Vsf . -i s wroner to cheat a man J - - o . out of his vote as it is to take from him his honest earnings, and more so, because in one instance it only hurts one individual or one familv. while the other is a crime against society and the whole State. We know nothing of the workings of the "Bull pens," as they are styled, and nev er voted in one of them; but we can see no objection to them what ever if honest men . conduct the elections and count the votes. In fact, we believe that a secret bal lot is the only protection of the voter against intimidation. Every man should have the privilege of voting as he pleases without fear or . molestation of any one and then have his ballot counted for the one for whom it was cast. NOT FOR RANSOM. CAFT. PEEBLES MADE HIS FIRST SPEECH OF THE CAMPAIGN. LAST MONDAY. . Capt. R. B. Peebles, Democratic nominee for the House of Represen tatives' from Northampton, opened the campaign last Monday by a speech" of an hour- and a half in length in the court house. He received close a t t e nt l o irt and was frequently applauded. Just before closing his speech he said that he had been requcsted to explain publicly his position on the Senatorial question, and went on i i to tell of the strong personal friend ship that had always exisfed be tween himself and General Ransom; how he had worked for the General's election in three campaigns ; of the General's kindness to the soldiers! during the war ; but said Senator Ransom's votes in the United States Senate for the past twelve months forced him to be against his re-elec. tion. He said that he was in Wash ington four days before the passage of the bill unconditionally repealing the Sherman silver purchasing act, and that he had warned the Senator that if he voted for that hill and no measures of relief were speedily en acted that he and the people of North Carolina would not sup port him; that Senator Ransom voted for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act and that no meas ures of relief have since been enact ed, consequently he could not sup port the Senator for re-election. He believed that the Democracy of North Carolina needed and should have a rSenator who would carry out the wishes of North Carolina and work and vote for her best interest. He 3aid that Senator Ransom voted for the Administration measures and against what the Democracy of North Carolina believed to be to the best interest of the comtry, and that to support Senator Ransom would be to endorse, the Administration's finan cial policy, and that if he (Capt. Peebles) was elected to the Legisla ture he would not vote for the Sena tor's reelection unless before that I time a primary election is held and a majority oi tne . democrats oi Northampton1 instruct him to do so.

RANSOM'S GREaVsPEECII 2,500 PEOPLE PRESENT. The Bertie Confedetate Veteran's Association met :n annual gathering on 1st Tuursdayin August, 1894. One hundred old vets, were in pro cession and answered to their names. One had died duriug the year. This gathering ofcitizens of Ber tie and other counties wa3 immense, judged to be tot less than 2,5 0. The greatest attraction oi' the day was the speech of Gen'l Ransom of the U. S. Senate. He appeared be fore us as a soldier a id patriot. Feelingly and forcibly he louched upon tne actual realities and experi ences of the war, with its trials, suf ferings and dangers ; all for the love of law, liberty and country. He clearly demonstrated that no people of the world, in its history bt" wars, ever dared and endured more to the bitter end, than the soldiery of the South. He proved from official rec ords that Gen'l Grant's estimate of Southern pluck and chivalry was so grtat as to say to President Lincoln when the latter demanded the ex change of prisoners, Wat it must not be allowed, "That the only way to conquer the South, was to catch and keeu in nrisou her soldiers." What - i . a tribute, (though not so intended), to a people who preferred death to Northern bondage, lie urged upon the young men and women present to remember with admiration and approval, this devotion of their fath ers to their country's honor, and that their highest aspiration should be, to love country, law, libert and good government. After ibe conclusion of Gen. Ran som's address, which was received with great applause, the old veterans marched into the court house which was at once filled to its utmost, where the annual routine of business was transacted. The entire old offi cers were re-elected with J. E. Mitch ell, as President ; E. R. Outlaw.. Treasurer ; R. W. Askew, Secretary ; &c, &c.V $65.00 additional was raised towards the monument fund, making thus far $565.00. Following this part of our work was a demand of the managers that we "call to rest"' and partake of a large and in viting dinner which 'we found spread upon a "table 352 feet long, and be ing occupied on both sides, careful observation showed at least people enough for four full tables- It was a sight the like "of which Windsor has not before experienced. Provis ions came from far and near. It was a free, liberal; happy union. . After this feast and a rest of about 1 hours, music by' the band was a signal to reassemble in the Court house which was again filled, and with marked attention, pleasure and profit, we listened for near an hour to an address from Hon. W. P. Shaw, of Winton. Thus passed a day of very large attendance, marked inter est and the best of feelings among the good people of old Bertie, men. women and children. The Aulander brass band rendered us good and cheering music for the occasion, led by Prof. Pounett. Long may the memory of this day live and last in the hearts of our poople. R. W. Askew, Sec.
