The Democratic Executive
Committee Pass Stirring
Kesolutions
The White Man And The
White Metal.
The democracy of the State
and all others who believe in
the true principles of the Dem
ocratic party will rejoice, when
they read of the action of the
Democratic State Executive
Committee last night.
Every member of the commit
tee with two exceptions was
represented in person or by
proxy. Chairman Manly pre
sided and Mr. John W. Thomp
son acted as Secretary.
There was an intercharge of
opinion in the nature of an ex
perience meeting, and the re
ports from all sections showed
that the honest people of all
parties are so disgusted with
McKinleyism and Russellism
and all they imply that the
drift is all toward the Democrat
ic party. f
Plans were inaugurated for
the organization of the party
and an address was issued that
will be hailed with delight from
Murphy to Manteo. ... The words
in that address were all weigh
ed carefully, and they contain
the germ of every Democratic
speech that will be made next
year. I he resolutions intro
duced by Hon. Francis D. Win
ston, of Bertie, which by order
ol the committee are issued as
an address and signed by Chair
man and Secretary .Thompson
are as follows :
THE RINGING ADDRESS.
j'The representatives of the
Democratic party in North Car
olina congratulate the Demo
crats of her sister States, who,
with a firm stand for the princi
ples embodied in the Chicago
platform, have won splendid
victories for the people.
"In rejoicing at the success
of the Democratic party in the
elections, we remind the people
that Democratic majorities were
largest, and Republican major
ities were, smallest, in those
States where that platform was
the issue It is a significant
fact that Democracy was defea
ted in the states wliere local
concerns were allowed to over
shadow the principles of the
party. Democracy is for all the
people. The recent utterances
of therpeople are plain and deci
ded. J "They have expressed
their faith in the Chicago plat
form;jtheir belief in bimetallism,
their 1 disgust and disapproval
of Republican creeds and prac
tices, and, above all, their ha
tred of the tyrannous gold stan
dard. They show that they
will no longer submit to the
robbery of trusts, the domina
tion of bosses and the oppression
of the money power." The
condemnation of the hypocrisy,
and falsehood of the Republican
party is crushing.

"We reaffirm our bT.ef in the
principles of the Chicago and
State platforms of the Demo
cratic party as adopted in 1896,
in their entirety ; and we -will
still support those principles un
til they are written in our laws.
"We would be untrue to the
firm and loyal allegiance the
Democratic party of North Car
olina bears to our greatest lead
er. Hon. William J. -Bryan, if
we failed to express our confi
dence in his honor and integrity
and in his devotion of head and
heart to the welfare of all the
people. We Emphasize the fact
that our great victory was won
in the States of Ohio and Ken
tucky where he personally ap
pealed to the people.
"We view with alarm the de

the low prices of all products
raised by lour people but we re

They recall the days of recon

the truth that no Southern
State can be governed with hon

can party. Too large a num
ber of its voters are ignorant,
for the masses to control and
too large a number of the lead-

ers are venal ana corrupt to
give North Carolina good gov

upon the evils wrought by a
combination of . Republicans
and the corrupt elements of the
Populist party by means of
which our legislature has be
come a farce, many of our office
holders become corrupt and
criminal, and ignorance and vice
raised above intelligence and

fort of this- combination to
place the ensane of the State at
the mercy of incompetent, vic
ious and lustful men and we
condemn the changes wrought
in our laws where-by ignorant
and impure men have been
placed in control of schools,
courts, prisons and asylums.
These are the inevitable conse
quences of Republican rule.

In a letter to the Labor Com-
missioner inr. ineopmius
White, chief oyster inspector
for the State, estimates that
there are three thousand are
more persons in the State en
gaged in the oyster industry.
Between 5,000 and 6,000 bush
els are caught annually and
sgld at from 15 to 80 cents a
bushel.
"The supply of oysters in the
sounds and rivers of North Car
olina, ".says Mr. White "is al
most inexhaustable, and all the
industry needs to make a grand
success in a market sufficient to
induce buyers to come to the
State. And to do that dredg
ing must take the place in part
of tongs, which is a slow meth
od of taking oysters. Dredg
