Gudger was then in troduced os the first speaker. Not a Hill Crowd. On taking the stand Mr. Gudger said he appreciated the honor of making the first democratic campaign sccch in North Carolina this year. "It is an honor," he said, "to belong to the dem ocratic party. It is the grandest organ ization in the world.excepting, possibly, the church. It is the hope and salva tion of the country. Its platform is one on which all may stand.

II. COSBY. JEWELER PATTON AVENUE. threaten us. In an emergency like this it behooves everv man to look well to his full duty. The republican party's administration of affairs has been one of hatred tor the south. It has fostersd monopolies and lent power and influence to the moneyed corporations. It has taken from the treasury millions for Iraudulent pensions. It has done noth ing to which it can point with pride. "When (.rover Cleveland Liong ana oud cheers left the White house, the treasury was full of money. Harrison cumc in, and in less than two years every cent had been spent. Yet, after all tins, the party has the nuaacity to charge that the state of New Vork has been stolen by that honest and patriotic democrat, Hill. Groans and hisses. I perceive that tl is is not a Hill crowd, but that was in my spcecn and l uaa to say it. 'In North Carolina important issues must be looked at squarely, and wemust beat the republicans, whatever tne re sult in the nation the white people of North Carolina must stand side by side, and see that the state is not turned over to the party that wrote a page of history so black that it would not look upon it itself without blushing, "Some republicans think they will win because the crent farmers' alliance will go with them. The alliance will do as it has clone in the past stand by the democratic party. We will all stand shoulder to shoulder and keep our grand old state in the democratic column. Till Time Shall Cease. Hon. James II. Mcrrimon was next in troduced. He began by reciting the fundamental principles of the democratic party. No event could happen, he said, by which the democratic party could be made to cease to exist. Its history and principles will stand until time itself shall cease. Cominc to the republican protective policy, he said: "No member of congress can vote for 'protection, for protection's sake, without committing a pcrpiry before God. There never was a greater humbug than this attempt to ir.-u-h tlmt motection is crood for the nconie. Seven per cent, of the people of this country are protected, while the other 93 per cent, are taxed for this pro lection. "Let the republicans obtain control of both houses of congress and the force bill will be passed.' If they get hold again it is eoodbye forever, God forbid that the solid south should ever be broken Cheers. The man who would raise his impious hand to do this deserves to be haneed on a callows ns nign as tne EilTcl tower and be left for food tor the buzzards and crows. Ewart when in congress from this district denounced the force bill, and I honor him for it. The truth is. Ewart was once in the demo cratic fold, and he ought to be back- leave the democratic party, because that party had done all in its power to relieve the farmer and laborer. His speech was one of warning to all alliancemen to look out for republican tricks, and to keep North Carolina in the democratic column. J. M. Campbell. Loud calls were made for J. M. Camp bell, and he made a speech of several minutes. He said that vigilance is to be the price of being 6n top this year, but the democratic party is to rule the state now and forever. It means something, he declared, when Wullace Rollins, Tom mie Lone and Lonnie Wells begin making alliance-democratic speeches in demo cratic counties. Beneath their masks they are deep-dyed republicans bowling in the wilderness ef despair. His closing words' were: "Oh, republicanism, how many lies are told and crimes committed in thy name!" His speech was loudly applauded. Election Postponed. T. F. Reeves then, at as allianceman and democrat, moved that the club go into the election of a permanent chair man. Col. A. T. Davidson arose to second the motion, and was compelled to take the stand. He made an enthusiastic speech, urging the democrats to organ-' ize a.id work for the triumphant suc cess of the party. He was happy to be with them, and begged that no one would wander off after strange gods. The motion of Mr. Reeves then carried. J. Y. Jordan nominated liug. D. Carter for president cf the club. Mr. Carter said he bad held a similar position in the last campaign, and thought the honor should be divided. W. G. Corpening nominated Hon. II. A. Gudger, but that gentleman declined. It was finally decided to leave the elec tion ot permanent officers open until Thursday night next, April 21, when another meeting of the club wil! be held in the court house at 8 o'clock. Books were then opened for signatures of those who wished to join the club, and 112 names wereenrolleJ. AN INTERESTING RUMOR THAT HIM. W11.1, NOMINATE CLEVELAND. It Is Ouly a Rumor as Yet and Im probable Senator Gorman Will Not Attend the ChlcaKo Conven tion. RociiESTiiK, N. Y., April IS. A strong personal friend of Senator Hill, and a prominent democratic leader, says that the senator now understands he cannot secure the nomination of the democ racy, and that in order to put himself in line for 180G, he will attend the Chicago convention and place in nomination Grover Cleveland. Baltimore, April 18. A close personal and political friend of Senator Gorman said to a representative of the Sun, that Gorman will not be a delegate to the national democratic convention and, moreover, it is not likely he will continue as a member of the national committee from Maryland. u he reason benator Gorman will not continue as a member of the natioial committee is that he is physically unable to stand the labor and strain that will be put upon him in the presidential cam paign. senator Gorman s retirement does not mean, that he wilt cease to take an inter est in national political affairs. CLERK YOUNG'S APPEAL NO MORE LIVE TARGETS. Commendable Action of the Ashe ville Pistol Club. The Asheville Pistol club has sometimes had shooting matches wherein live fowls were used as targets. The secre tary of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, after witnessing one of these matches, addressed a letter to the club, in which, on behalf of the so ciety, he requested the club to discontinue the practice ol shooting at live iowis ana laid : Permit me to call your attention to sections 2482, 2487 and 24-90 ot the code of North Carolina, a copy of which sections is contained in the pamphlet of our society herewith torwarded. I think vou will agree with me that the practice is a violation oi tne spirit ana letter oi statute. Whether it he or not, it is plain to me that it unavoidably involves more or less of cruelty. 1 am unwilling to believe that any of your number would knowingly and willfully commit an act of cruelty. It is a small matter in the wav of amusement to discard practice which is open to that charge, It would give the society sincere gratifi cation if you would, by acceding to its reauest. enable it to count the ciuu nno the majority at least of its members among the tnends ot the good cause seeks to promote rather than among its enemies, ncusc mvui un w.u ivy,. The reolv promstly came as follows: "We received your letter, aud contents noted, in regard to cruelty to animals, Will sav that it is not our intention to be cruel to them, and if your society deem it wrong to make targets out them we will not do so any more, and you may rest assured that your wishes shall be granted. Hereafter, if we have anv more matches, we will shoct at tartret for the chicken and not nt the chicken." MISSIONARY SERVICE. 7 aud 9 Patton Ave. GENUINE AUSTRALIAN LENSES.

There are certain bad men bad because ambitious who have control to a certain extent of the alliance. Thev intend to have a ticket in this state. If the alliance will go off after these men, and the force bill is passed and the south trodden under loot, the blame will rest lorever with the men who desert us. "The alliance must see that it would be impossible for the government to buy all the railroads, telegraphs, and tele phones. There were in 1890 260,000 miles ot railroad lines, not including sidetracks. The gross receipts are $1, 000,000,000. The property involved is worth S20.000.000. 1 lie owners would have to have pav for these lines, at leatt $20,000,000,000. Where would we get the money t All the silver dug outot tne earth in 500 years is but $14,000,000,- 000. But if we could buv these roads, what would be the result? There are now over 1,000,000 men engaged in railroad work. You know tne railroad compa tiics make one man do the work of two. Well, when the government gets control, the force would have to be doubled, and we would have 2,000,OUO men. The party in power would see that that everv cmolove was a voter, and there would always be a walkover, as n democrat. I never want to see the time when the tcmutation is held out to the democratic party to take so many men under its control. "I appeal to iarmers and nil let us roll uu such a maioritv as will show the people north of Mason and Dixon's line that the south is still solid, thank God. Wc are in earnst, and will not stop until victory perches on our banner "The mills of God grind slowly, Yet they grind exceeding small" And we will grind the republican party to powder und scatter it to the four winds. I want nothing more than to stand beside the humblest man and stick in my little piece of paper for Cleveland. Chccrs.J An Allianceman Talks. Hon. Wharton J. Green, tor many years representing the Fayetteville dis trict, was called on and responded in short speech. He is n very prominent allianceman. He said the people of the stntcl were standing ou the brink of an abyss. The alliancemen ought not Interesting Exercises at Central Church Last Night.

Washington, D, C , April 18.-Thc familiar figure of ex-senator Edmunds was seen in the senate chamber at the opening of today's session of the senate. While secretary McCook was reading the journal of last Thursday Mr. Ed munds moved around on the republican side and received greetings from sena tors of both political parties, and held long conversation with Morgan. The first business transacted after the reading of the journal was the announce ment by Vice-President Morton tnat ne had received a communication in tne nature of a petition, from Tames R, Young, late chief executive clerk, to be laid before the senate, "which will," Morton added, "be laid upon the table, it having already been printed." Mr. Vest introduced a bill to proniuit contracts bv the Postmaster General with any steamship company making unjust discriminations against any port ot the United btates as to the imports Dy vessels carrving the foreign mails, in connection with the bill, and before ask ing its reference to the committee on commerce Mr. Vest said he desired to submit certain resolutions of the Mer chant's exchange of the city of St. Louis. Mr. Sherman, chairman ot the foreign relations committee, gave notice in the senate todav that he would tomorrow ask attention of the senate to the Chinese rctriction bill. It was necessary, he said that it should be oassed within ten days, as the present legislation on the subject would. under certainconstrtiction of it. expire some time in the month of May next, A SMALL HOUSE.
