In touching the extravagance of the Sixtieth Congress and the pas sage of the Aldridge Currency bill Mr. Page proved RepubMcan legisla tion to be for the favored few and to the advantage of the Wall Street gamblers as well as to the detriment of the masses ot the people. He predicted a landslide of Demo cratic victories this fall and the re' tnru of the reins of the government to the people.

Blair, of Montgomery as dele' gates ti the Natiotal Democratic Convention at Denver, UI. The Convention adopted the fol lowing resolutions: The Democrats of the Seventh District in North Carolina in convention assembled, re- olved: That we endorse the course of Hon. Robt. N. Page and commend him for bis faithfulness, loyalty and devotion to his duty as our representative in Congress; that we alio endorse Senators Simmons and Over man ; that we endorse the State administra tion of Gov. Cneim. We are opposed to the systematic leaisla tion in behalf of sjiecial intercuts by the Republican party, and demand a change iu the policies of the government by piissing restrictive laws. We are oppoxed to the centralizing influ ences of the iriivemmeiit at Washington and believe in the timehonored principle of Uemoeraoy that this 11 a government of the people, by tun people and for the people We favor the pussree of laws, State and national, for the regulation of bniks and fr the protection of bank deposits. We denounce the Republican party which has had every hrancr of the national gov ernment for nearly ,12 veam and has been in absolute control of all the departments, with power to chonifp unjust conditions and cor rect evil.' During this time ureal combina tions of capital have dominated the people, crushed out and stifled competition of indi vidual citizens. vve denounce the hypocrisy of the Repub lican parry for its legislation 111 the interest of wealth and against the masses and for pretending to legislate 'against corporations when really the chief aim and purpose is the protection of the class against the masses We favor immediate revision of the tariff downward and not upward, in the interest of the laboring classes and tbe masses as weu as in the real interest of the manufacturers We especially favor reductions in the tariff on the necessaries of life . We'condemn the miserable blunder made by the last (Jon cress in the enactment of the Allrich-Yreland financial measure. We oppose the practice of the Federal courts iu issuing injunctions without a notice and without a hearing, and we favor trial by jury in contempt proceedings arising out of such injunctions. e condemn the prolligate wnit in the unheard of and extravagHiit expenditures amounting to more than a billion dollars by the hrat session of the sixtieth Congress We call the atteuiiuu ul the people to the fact that uverv financial canic in this coun try sine the Civil War hns been the product nl Republican legislation. We regret that Republican niioiiiaiMueiueut lius ugaiu ill a time of profound peace, and whh every nat ural reason for prosperity, plunged the n lion into the evils of lihancU' stringency and industrial depiesaion, thousand), of men be ing thrown out of employment and wages having lien reduce, uii'l the coiuloits of lue family nlT vied, and souphii.ises established and mnintiined by the charities of ihe peo ple to avoid starvation and hunger. We coimemn the tecreta v of ihe 1 reas ury for selling interim bearing bonds in a time of ieace usd fur dt xsitiiig the proceeds thereof in the favored bnuks of New York wh-i-h were largely r"iponsi de fur the panic We call attention to the fact that. for more than 11 yegrs 1 lie Republican party has been in coutr.il of every departineot of the f ederal government, ami after a peri d of tevernl years ol a undant crop in all parts of the C'.nutry nnil in the Hiidr-t of apparent pros perity, when the commercial interest ol the country were t high tide, the business and the nation e e -eizd with Par.ilvsiH. banks were afraid 1.1 meet their obligations, rail roads passed into the hands of receivers, iu dii tries sere crippled, laborers could not obuin employment, and the government itself knelt ot Wall Street and threw into the lap of the money changers money re ceived from bonds sold in tim of peace. We believe 10 honest, economical admin istration of the affairs of the government both in state ami nation with the least bur den the people. We believe iu holding the primaries for a I stale officers at the same date iu every precinct in the State. We commend the citi-a of Winston, Charlotte, Greensboro anil the business men of other cities who have united in an effort to prevent the unjust discrimination by the railroads in freight rates which have so long existed in favor of Virginia cities and against North v arolina, and we favor such national legislation as will remedy these evilg. We commend the legislature and O iv Glenn in their honest and energetic ef forts to put a stop to this unjus'. and unfair discrimination, which baa bui t up great cities in Virginia and destroyed the marts of trade in our State. That Wm. J. Bryan be endorsed for the Democratic nomination for President f the United Htates, and we hereby instruct the delegates elected by this convention to the I)envi r convention to vote for and use every honorable means within their power to se cure his nomination, and that they continue to use their best efforts for' him until they are released from this obligati n by Mr Bryan himself. This great leader, by force of bisspleudid intellect, his noble manhood, his purity of life, is not only the greatest private citizen in the Republic but an abso lute moral force in the world. The condi tions in our country demand that there shall be placed at the head of our government a man whose sympathies arc with the masses and whoso honor and integrity or capacity cannot be questioned. Beautiful Place. The Enterprise had the pleasure of visiting recently tbe home of Mr. W. L. Kivett, two miles from tbe city. It is indeed a beau, tiful couutry home with all that tbe term implies. The house is a large 12 room structure, two stories, of modern architecture and would do credit to any city. There are lawns which surround tbe nouse entirely, with exquisite flower beds here there which give attractive setting to the surroundings. The farm is a veritable garden and everything is well kept. We think beyond question tbat Mr. Kivett's orchard, the larger one, bids fair to be the prettiest in Guil ford county. If yon like to look at pretty farms, one that is well worked and well kept in every way make the ac quaintance of Mr. Kivett and this is not difficult to do.
