CRAWFORD'S SPEECH' OF- ACCEPTANCE. The ballot box is an 'institution i.f government, and you have no powef unless you can cast yovir ballots for whom you please, and have them counted as cast. The vital issue in this campaign is the right to elect a member to thellouseof Representatives of the United" States by the free votes of a free people, A FITTING INTRODUCTION. A. M, Waddell, one of the can didates for United States Senator, was in the city Friday, and spoke in the court house that night in behalf of himself.- He was intro duced in a classical stylo hujlhe ever classical Mr. Craig; and the introduction was a9 fitting as it was classical Mr. Craig referred to Danton, a prominent character of the French devolution. When Danton had heen accused by the Assembly, at the instance of Robes pierre, and arraigned before the Revolutionary court, he was ask ed his name and place of abode. His reply was : "My name is Dan ton, a name tolerably known in the Revolution; my abode will Boon be Annihilation, but I shall live in the Pantheon of History.". ' "The name of Alfied Moore Waddelf,eaidMr. Craig iu reson ant voice, "is tolerably known in the great Jteyolution in North Carolina iu 1898, and like Danton, he w ill live ia the Pantheon of His tory." There was no "uujiappy use of wcrds" in thus likening tfie Revolutionary leader of Wilming ton to one of the greatest and wildest of the French Revolution ists. There ia indeed a striking analogy in the careers of the two men. Mr. Craig was only at fault in not further drawing the picture of their similitude. In our weak way we shall try to complete the picture so masterly begun by Mr. Craig. In the French Revolution the masses were arrayed against the classes, the many against the few. It was accounted a crime to have been born an "aristocrat," and by the time the Revolution had reach ed the middle of the year 1792, the prisons of Paris and all France were fiLed with aristocrats, , the beautiful, the cultured,the wealth) and the chivalrous of the nation! In that year the Revolutionary leaders decided on a wholesale murder of their helpless prisoners. This man Danton, to whom Mr. Craig likened Col.Waddell,was th chief conspirator- and leader against them. He employed 235 of the worst characters in all the great city of Paris'. to execute his bloody design. On September 2, 1792, Danton said in the Assem bly ;"The tocsin about to sound is not an alarm signal; it is a charge upon the enemies of the coun try. To vanish them, gentlemen. all that is needed is boldness, and again boldness, and always bold nesB." How lika ia this to the im passioned oratory of Col.Wad- dell. On that day the slaughter be gan. The signal for the cut throats to set to work was the third discharge of a cannon. Car riages containing prisoners on their way to the Abbey prison were attacked and the prisoners ir ur dered. Then the hired assassins attacked the church and convent, of the Carmelites, and slaughtered lbO priests. Then they were sta ticced in front of the prison doors. The prisoners were brought out one by one into the vestibule of the prison, and questioned. This over, they were ordered released or to another prison, which pro ceeding had been agreed upon;and was the signal to the assassins to blaughter them as they made their exit. Heaps of dead were piled up Ttio eight wan ghastly; horrible ;but the murderers reveled in their bloody work! Night came, and the work continued, but not in th'e dark.! Lanterns were light ed! The ghastiiuess of the scene was intensified! The joy of the spectators knew no bound ! They drank, wino as did thecut-throats ; they were frenzied with delight;, but they grew tired standing! Seats were provided and thus they could rest their limbs while feast ing their eyes on the hot, Bmoking blood of the beauty ; and chivalry of France ! All night the assasins worked, kill! kill! kilH Morning dawned. They could not be Bparel for even a few moments; and their wives brought them breakfast;and they regaled themselves in the slaughter "pen while feasting their eyes oh the mangled remains - of their innocent victims! For h days and nights the slaughter contin ued, and only ceased when the prisons were empty, but not until the murderers had raided the asyl um of the insane, the paupers and fools, and added scores of these unfortunates to their list murder ed!, ThenHhey rested because no other victims were in sight. One of the victims of these Sep tember Massacres was the Princess de Lainballe. She was Superin tendent of the Queen's household; and this was her only sin. She was an amiable and loveable wom an. The i. King and Queen were imprisoned in the Temple, and she in the Force prison. This priii-' cess was the favorite lady of the court of Louis XVI. On Septem ber 3, she was: brought from her cell into the presence of the mock court, and ordered released. This order was the signal to the assas sins. The door was opened, and as she stepped out, she was dealt a blow with a ealre on' the head. She got some distance from the prison- door, and was then set upon again, and was killed, falling and expiring on a . heap of dead bodies. They cut ofi'her head and her breasts and tore out her heart! The head ws taken to a hair dresser's establishment, the blood washed off, and the hair arrange and powdered! The head and heart were then stuck on pikes, and carried in triumph through the streets of the great city fol lowed by a seething, howling mass of "sansculottism ! Her body was denuded, and. exposed to the de lighted followers of Danton ! The murderers bearing the head and heart on pikes and dragging the headless trunk of the unfortunate princess started to the Temple to show Marie Antoinette the head of her favorite lady ! The guards at the Temple were not so inhu man, and closed the, windows of the Queen's apartments; but she beard the horrible news and faint ed! The prison officials finally succeeded inTheir efforts to get the murderers to depart with their ghastly trophies. When they who bore the princessV heart had gone a short distance from the Queen's prison' house they went into a wine shop, and ordered the !heart cooked which was done, and they sat down at a table and eat it, and planned for future murders ! During these massacres all Paris was terror stricken People fled from the streetsWd were in hiding These assassins first receiv9dr 8 francs (about $1.54) a day, but their wages were reduced after, a day or two to: 5 sous (about 50 cents). This yas the work of Danton. His name was tolerably known iiRwith. great formality throughout the Revolution. He whl the Pantheon of History. lie in In 1S98, the majority ruled ih North Carolina and in Wilming ton. The people were given good government, but the mihprty was Lnot satisfied. As a leader of this minority-in Wilmington and vi cinity, Waddell was as violent as has counterpart, Danton. He de clared that the minority should rule if to do ,eo it became neces sary "to choke the current of the Cape Fear with the bodies of dead Republicans !"Danton would make the Royalists afraid; Waddell would make the Republicans afraid! Unlike in this,however,Dan tbn represented a majority ; Wad dell a minority .Waddell organized baud of thugs, some of whom were the "best people", among them "ministers"! This revolutionary and lawless band was led in their work of fire and deathrt by -Waddell himself. One thousand strong they marched to a building in which was tha material of a de funct newspaper. The material was destroyed, and the building burned ! Excitement grew apace! Eleven nieu whose only sins were that they were bora with black skins, were 6hot to death, and many more wounded. When this work of fire and death was com pleted, then to the. city hall I The city government was imprisoned in its own chamber, and forced to "resign". Waddell wa3 chosen Mayor and others in this mob to v i r -m "v -v r i i i -v i -v n If A 1. t juiiuui jumi.iuiiD. ivien were nuni- ed down, and "publicly drummed out of town". The people were terror stricken, and thousunds lied to the swamps for safety. Moth ers with young babes, and others about to become mothers, were among those flying for safety from Waddell aud. his followers. Three days and three nights these women lay on the damp ground in the bogs, suffering living deaths ! Fi nally the revolution was complete; and the masses were allowed to re turn on condition they -would la bor, and take no interest in pub lic affairs. The educated and in fluential were banished, and have never been allowed to return! It is not known whe tier Waddell, like Danton paid his cut-throats, but they did their work quite a3 well. Danton operated against the educated and wealthy; Wad dell's vicltms were largely lhe il literate poor; Danton oparated in a 'city of 800,000 people; Waddell in a town of 20,000 ; and consid ering all the circumstances, Wad dell is a fairly good prototype of the firery and blood thirsty Frenchman. Such was theork of Alfred Moore Waddell. His name is tol erably known in the Revolution, and he, like Danton, will live in the Pantheon, of History ; but as civilization advances each suc ceeding generation will contem plate those blood stained pages with ghastly horror more and more intensified. COAL MINERS STRIKE. The strike of the coal miners in Pennsylvania will scarcely fur nish Mr. Biyan with the political capital that he hoped for. That he intended using it for that pur- nose is clearlv shown bv his own IT 1 utterances in speeches which he delivered last week. While we do not eay that either Mr. Bryan or his managers were the instiga- Itors of this strike, we do say, and without fear of substantial contra dictioD, that they were not in the least averse to it. . The true situation was proven by the meeting of the miners Sat urday evening last, when the English speaking element voted to return to work, but were thwart ed in this by an unprincipled mob of Slavs whose ' veins course with ararchism. The same state of affairs existed in the Hazelton y strike several year3 ago when the disturbing and lawless element was composed entirely of the Ital ian' and Slavonic strikers. That the desires of the better and American class of these min ers will finally prevail and all their differences amicably ad justed is the hope of every true friend of the workingman, even though it does cause Mr. Bryan's coterie a pan'g.of disappointment ISRAEL'S GREAT FEAST, ' .1 "Happy New Year" was the greeting exchanged by thousands in Asheville M6nday, for it was thej'Jewish New Year. The cele bration of Rosh Hashannah be gan at sunset Sunday evening and continued until sung9t Monday, t is the o&Glst year of the Jewish era, and was once celebrated by the Jews a3 an anniversary of the creation of the world. This view is not now held, except by a very few. This Hebrew holy season is a most solemn' period for the child- ren of Israel, aud was observed the world. Nearly all of the He brew merchants closed their places of business,' anj. the peroid was observed religiously. The Jewish new year is only re garded as one in a religious sense. The chronology, dating buck tp the time of Adam, 5,6G1 years ago, eommencea in February ot -the European calendar. The Jewish month of Tishri, however, began Monday night. It is set aside for the holy seas jn on account of its number, being the seventh lunar month of the Hebrew year. Un der the Mosaic law, the seventh month is as sacred as the seventh day, and therefore the religious year began Monday. This period celebrated bv the Jews is a season of contemplation aad reflection. Prayers and med itations i will be in order until Tue'sday -night of next week, when the feast of Atonement, some what similar to the American Thanksgiving will be celebrated. Mr. Crawford declines to sign the agreement to count ballots found in the wrong box, ' not be cause he has scruples about viola tion of law, but because he wants to take advantage of the frauds contemplated by that infamous statute . No honest man has any respect for that law Every mm in the State knows that it was en acted forthe purpose of defeating the will of the majority,, and giv ing defeated candidates office.

H0W BUSINESS MEN VIEW IT. The Democrats endeavor to pose as the representatives of the poor men of the country largely on the strength of the fact, which they, freely r,ecognize rnd admit, that 'he great majority of the business men of the country, without re gard to their original political opinion, are heartily in accord with-the programme of the Re publican party and, with its past legislative performances. Because, argue the Democrats, the business men aud employers of labor in the United States, to a very great ex tent, are supporters of. the Repub lican ticket in the present cam paign, the laboring men of the country should oppose that ticket. It will be rather a difficult mat ter to persuade auy intelligent wage earner into the belief that a national policy which permits his employer to keep his business run ning at a pri.fif, which increases lhe demand and the price for his product, and which permits him to employ a larger number of men at higher wages than ever before is of necessity a bad policy for the employes. Wage earners recog nize with a3 much clearness as any people in the community that, if times are bad tor employers, they are bad for the employes. When tUe bottom has dropped out of the market, when furnace fires are drawn, and when the demand for goods ceases, labor sutTeis as much or mere than the employers of labor. - Every one admits that times are good now. Every one remembers that times were bad four years ago. When times were bad, em ployers and employes suffered alike; now that times are good, they are' good for both working men and those who employ them. That the great majority of the business men of tlie country, whose prosperity is dependent upon the maintainance of good times, are anxious for a continuance of Re publican control of the National Government is due solely to the fact that they recognize that Re publican success means good times; while a Democratic victory at this time would mark the1 com mencement of a period of depress ion such as that from which the country suffered under the last Democratic administration. Successful business .men are trained and skillfull observers of all conditions, which effect their business interests. This is what has made them successful ; and rarely do they permit their politi cal predilections to blind them to the effect of political action. The only exception to this rule is, in the Southern States, where some business men, while freely admit ting thatDerr ocratic success would be disastrous to their business in terests, still feel impelled by the force of public sentiment in their communities to support the ticket which they have always support ed while not in sympathy with a single plank of the platform of the party to which they ostensibly be long. Numbers of the business men of the South are voting the Democratic ticket and hoping for Republican success. It is true that not all of the wealthy business men of the coun try support the Republican ticket. The Havemeyers, of the Sugar Trust, for example, are Democrats, who cannot forget that the Wil son tariff bill, passed by a Demo cratic Congress, put . millions in their pockets and 'made possible the formation of the gigantic true"; which they now control. Neither cari they forget that the Republi can tariff cut down the special protectfon which tiny received under the Wilson bill, and broke their monopoly. : Some scions of wealthy families, like the Belmonts and Hearst, whose millions are so'jnusty be abolished for tha sake tied up in conservative invest-' cf killing the so-called trust. iments as to be in nj danger of Buffering any depreciation of in come, no matter how hard the times may be, support the Demo cratic ticket in furtherance of their personal political ambitious, and tie up with the Democrats because heir wealth will bring them more in political prestige in that party than in any other. A few good business men like thoee of Tam many Hall, recognize that they make more than enough out of the looting of New York City to offset any particular damage which might otherwise result to them by an ordinary business depression. There are also individual instan ces, like that of Clark,,of Moutana, where men of vast wealth, not sub ject to the ordinary contingencies of business, support the Demo cratic ticket in order to obtain political preferment. As. -a practical uniform xule, however, conservative business men of the country hope for Re publican success beeause thoy hope for a continuance of prosperity; and the intelligent workingmen of the country will follow their lead for precisely the same reason. The election law enacted by the Republican Legislature of 1895 provided that ballots found in the wrong box should be counted. Jim Moody was a State Senator at that time, and voted for that act. In this he put himself on record as an exponent of honest elections." It is right to count such ballots as a matter of justice, and such a provision effectually estops dis honest election ofBcers from dis franchising honest men by this trick. The Simmons election law pro rides that ballots found in the wrong boxes shall not be counted and Crawford says this is a good law; that if a dishonest " election officer cau get a chance he may chuck ballots of honest citizens in the wrong box, and thus disfran chise . them. This is Crawford's standard of political ethics, and yet he says the ballot box is a sac red institution of roverument,and that the only question in the Ninth District' campaign is the election of congressman by the fre6 vote of a free people. Bryan is appealing for negro votes in theNorth,and encouraging election thiews of fth9 South to suppress the vote of that race'down here. If Bryan were honest, he would not shed so, many tears over the savage inhabitants of the Phil ippines while the civilized, educat ed and peaceable negroes of the United States are deprived of the rights of citizens. ;And not only this, but Bryan na3 no. regard for white voters unless they vote his vay. He knows the Gbebel elec tion law in Kentucky is disnoneat. He knew it when it was passed ; he knew Goebel stole the Demo cratic nomination for Governor; he knew he intended to steal the Governorship under that infamous law ; and yet ho went to Kentucky, flew in the face of twenty thous aud Democrats who wanted to pre serve political and civil liberty in taat State; and advocated the claims of Goebel. If Bryan's Filipino doctrine yere adopted m good faith-in all the States of the American Union, he would not have twentv-five votes in the electoral college. If the citizens of all the States were permitted to yote as they please, and their votes" should be counted a cash, Bryan would not carry five'States in the Union, and no one knows this better than him self. : Bryan is a damajogu9 and a hypocrite. Farmers should bear in mind that' the hide of a beef is now worth about as much as the whole animal was under the Democratic administration four years ago. And they should also remember that Bryan told them four years ago that under a gold standard of currency prices would go down all , the time Bryan is false prophet. Something will certainly have to be done to stop the pernicious activity of that Dingely bill. All the glass factories that suspended operations in July because glass factories generally suspend then, are preparing to resume operations now, and the tin plate mills are almost ready to beat last year's record, too. Where is the jrotec tion for the foreigners in that? Being responible for the tin plate industrv, the Republican party is to a certain extent responsible for the tin plate trust, if there is any such thing. But the 20,000 work men who are engaged, in makirjg tin plate are Dot asking that the NATIONAL POLITICS.

In that pant of my presentation i used umiy facta brought out on the other side of the line. I mow beg par don for a long suffering public -while " show Crt oi' (this side also ait that time were being performed Itactics that are now repeated in this campaign. From "Th Charlotte News" of Sep ember 3d, I read "Mr. James Ldsker of Iredell county was nere" today, on hiap way home from a visit to his sis ter, who lives near here. Mr. Lisker is seventy years old. He and Ills Six brothers eicitered the confederate army in the Seventh North Carolina regi ment, the late Robert Young being the captain." The Lrfsker brothers fought all through ithe "war and were never in the hospital except when wounded .hree cf them, losing legs; none of them could read and writer they are all now weil to do, and one of them has made 20,000." Here we have it.

Thirty-six . years later i'he ?amp democratic aristocracy of tflie state, upo-n the plea of ridding ltr & state of the poU-ti'cal ipower of these same negroes, have asked these 5ame poor, uneducai.ed patriots, rwho always fight our wars, to destroy a.11 their future political hopes and powers that they may again rule the state -with a rod of iron as they did ta the flays wn-en none but property holders could vote and hold oilice. While Bryan, is ranting and howling all through the north- for the consent of the governed among Philippine savag es nod canibnls. Crawford is at home advocating the ballot far only the aris tocraoy and those- able lio educate themselves to the liking of an election legisrrar ui'eJ for their ignoble purpose. nd. yet, ie has the unbridled audacity to ask these people for retributioat for a personal wrong done him. Wha: shall lhe answer be? What answer may he expect? ' Crawford's position on the Philippines ;s about as decent as -could be mai tained on this issue. He is only act 'ng the part of a foolish surgeoia who ivould advise his patient to cu't awav his nose to rid it of a mole. In other o:-l3, he tries to hide -behind what h claims a bud deal in getting ecd holding those islands until tie and Bryan may get in positicra to again des'.iroy tn prosperity o f the country, as they did when jthey were in congress in 1894 and helped to enact the Wilson-Gorman -tariff law. For all Mr. Crawford may suy on this issue, I have charity to forgive and r-iss as a legitimate difference in opin ion, but one thing he did say in his recent speech at Murphy I cannot for give. It was this, "McKinley has put the armies of the United States in China, in cnarge of ara officer of the German army without authority of 'aw." , . ,, ' ;. Under the circumstances, what shall 1 ay of a man 'who would go before his people seeking their support for a high position in which he would be .'.jstoclian of their interests at home a.nr abroad and. to engender prejudict against his opponents, make accusaJtion tt this kind against his president, knowing the circumstaaces under vhich this action by -the president was taken as well as Mr. Crawford knew them, lit is a crime against his con stituents unpardonable. Here were the ambassadors, legations and representa ves of all civilized Eiaitions pent up, be sieged, starving and being murdered by a horde of hosule savages 'Withstand ing their assaults with a. fortitude and heroism scarcely .equalled in human tti6tory, while thousanas or christian .-.iisslo.iajnes, tent from ail parts or vii. .arch in response 'to that commaicd of Him who spake as never man sjake, 4-Go ye unto all the world and preach iny gospel to every creature," were oe mg daily slaughtered and outraged in ways more horrible than death.

While these scenes were passing, the nld 'empires of earth, with tthe forces of our own oeloved republic, were beln marshaled on the Chinese jmargia for a war of a-eUef. So jealous -were the powers that for 'weeks trje forces camp ed m sight of those horrors, but unable to move, lest the move should be the destruction of the forces of the friendly powers instead of the common, enemy.
