CONGRESSMAN CRAWFORD
in-:
SPr.AK8 TO THE WDST
WARD DEMOCRATS.
Anont One Tliotmnul l'eoplc
Catlier In Went Kucl to Kinr
(tie Youiijc Coiiur-niiiaii
pound ncniocratic Doctrine.
The Democracy of the West ward
promised that it would give Congress
man William T. Crawfi id a rousing re
ception when he spoke liefore the Dem
ocratic club of that ward.
Mr. Crawford filled his appointment
last evening, and the club kept its word.
The first floor of the larjje Pearson
building near the ice factory had been
fitted up with scats for the occasion, and
the crowd that poured in Oiled up every
Beat, and ninny stood up. The crowd
was estimated at l.rtoo. The ,r&ndid
turnout of West Warden was anjf
merited by the attendance of members of
the Central club, who, over 11)0 stronj;,
marched from the court house to the
place of speakine;, headed by Di tirmner
Owen. When the club hied into the
room, it was uivcu a cheering yreeliiij'
by the West ward boys. There was also
a large number of ladies in attendance.
While waiting for Mr. Crawford Gen.
R. I). Vance was called upon and enter
tained the audience for ten minutes,
leading the crowd in three cheers and a
tiger for the Democratic ticket from
Drover Cleveland down.
Jack Cox then recited a campaign
poem, and when he had concluded Mr.
Crawford entered the budding, accom
panied by Den. lv. K. Hampton. The
speaker's entrance was the signal for n
chorus of cheering that fairly shook the
building. Mr. Crawlord was then intro
duced by President D. W. Iiruton, of the
West Ward club.
In opening, Mr. Crawford said he had
been meeting his opponents, Pritchard
and mown, on every stump. Now one
of them had married and the other had
gone home. This, Mr. Crawford aid.
left the ladies to him. The young Con
gressman is unmarried and this statement
created a great ileal of nppl.iu.c.
The speaker declared the issues ol the
campaign to be the tan'V, finance and
the force bill. "I see," he sai l, "no
object in the force I) II other than the
keeping in power ol the Republican party
und still tin titer inflicting burdens upon
the people. Since the war tiie Republi
can party l.as inen.-asil the pri.es o:
everything used by the people. That
party has for thirty-two vears had
sole, unqualilied powertoiuake our laws
nnil not lor one minute h is the Demo
cratic party had the power to repeal the
laws of w hich the people complain, so j
thai if any part of the country is sutur
ing from legislation the Republican party
is solely responsible for it.
1 lie Republicans reply to ur tanil
arguments by saving that jou buy
ooos cheaper now ta:i:i vim used to.
They undertake to close your eves to the
fact that this country lias improved
woudcrlullv in the way of Hbor-snviiai
machinery, and that goods can now be
produced a great deal cheaper than they
formerly could."
Mr. Crawford then , rave several illus
trations on the tariff aiiestion, in such a
clear, matter-of-fact way that they
could not be misunderstood.
"The Republicans," the sneaker con
tinued, "did finally take the tax off su-
ar. 1 lie Democrats opposed this, be
cause the bill also provided that the
American sugar manufacturers should
receive a bounty of two cents a pound
lor every pound of sugar tlicy produced,
and the last Congress had to make ay
ippropnation ol ten millions ol dollars
to pay otf these bounties. The Republi
cans say we must protect these infant
industries. Well, we all favor the pro
tection of infants, but when the Milants
get to wearing No. 12 shoes and become
large enough to kick the old man out of
the house, I think it is time to call a
halt."
Coining down to the force bill Mr.
Crawford said: "If that bill is a dead
issue, t.ien the Republican party is n
lean issue. Harrison has endorsed the
bill. Tom Reed has endorsed the bill.
He told me that his party proposed to
do its own registering and itsown count
ing, lie said lurther that they did not
propose to allow the outrages in the
South to continue. He declared he would
as soon think ol convicting a ballot box
s'uller in the South as to think of eon
vi. ting a polygamist before a Mormon
iury. Is it dead? No. I see Mr. Ilani-
soii became indignant because Georgia
wotuu not vote lliellnrd parly ticket,
and says lie has washed his hands ol the
South. He also says you can't trust the
Democrats ol the South; the harder vou
light them the bigger their majorities.''
Referring to the inflammatory speech of
Mott, Mr. Crawford said : "It is time
for every man who lias the interest of his
country nt heart, to put his foot on such
men, who Iry to inflame the passions of
the negroes. When a man snys he wants
the force bill jif it takes ten thousand
heads of the besl men in North Carolina,
it is time for all good men to stand to
gether. We have been taking cure of the
colored people, budding asylums and
schools for them, educating them so that
they might exercise the right ol franchise
intelligently, uml it is mulling less than
a ctime to make these inflaming speeches
to these people. Now is the time for the
people oft he country to stand up for
their right and let these men know they
cannot put us under such rule.
"I tell the Third party people this is
no time to sit down and rest, when wcare
led on by such men as Drover Cleveland.
The people are coming to him. Look at
such men as MacVeagh.Di cshani, Coolcy
and many others who art working for
him. They recognize the man's honesty.
No man ever misunderstood Cleveland."
Mr, Crawford closed with a strong ap
peal to the people to work for Demo
cratic success. During the speech he was
trctpicntly interrupted by tremendous
applause. I he speceli all the way
through was a splendid one, and pleased
everyone excepting, of course, what few
Republicans might have been within
hearing.
Mr. Crawford left this morning for
Leicester, w acre lie met collector Kol
litis in a joint discussion this afternoon

wealthy Florida merchant who was a
passenger on the Fall River steamer Pil
grim on the night of Saturday, Oct. 8,
and who it is supposed walked over

sum of money in his possession. He was
on his wav to Boston, where he had an
ipiioiutiiicnt to meet Mr. John McGuire,
of Bridge-water. Mr. McGuire was ne
gotiating the sale of a mine to Mr.
Greyc, and the details of the transactions
had been completed except the payment
ol the sum of SIS.OOO, the price fixed
upon.

Mr. McGuire. and asked the latter to
meet him in New Yoik Oct. 7. Mr. Mc-'
Duiic owing to previous busincssengage

lv Chairman Moody.
When the Republican managers came
up to headquarters this morning they
discovered that their flag the great big
spread-eagle llag, which has spanned
Patton avenue was missing. They im
mediately set up the cry that it had been
cut dowu by some enemy, who didn't be
lieve iu fair play. A telegram was at
once sent to Jeter C. Pritchard, who like
wise at once replied advising the offering
of a reward for the "thieves" w ho did
this thing.
Accordingly circulars were printed
which declared in large letters that $.'lun
reward would be paid for information
sullieieiit to convict the "thieves who
stole the banner." This was signed by
. M. Moody, chairman of the Republican
committee.
The matter soon began to be talked
about generally, and there were some
who went so far as to say they believed
the Republicans knew more about the
business than they cared to admit. "It's
'ood campaign stuff," they said, "dr
the Rails, and somehow well, we'll see
what we shall sec."
In this connection these cards will be
of interest :
Him ok Tin; Crnzr.x : This morning
about 11:31) 1 went to Republican head
quarters, and inquired of Dr. W. F.
Tompkins if the Republican committee
really proposed to pay the reward of
fered in their circular. Dr. Tompkins re
plied in the affirmative. 1 then told him
that if he would deposit the $1100 in the
band I thought possibly I could find the
man they claimed to want. This Dr.
Tompkins refused to do, but said he
would pay the reward after court if the
nif.n was convicted. In the room nt th
time this conversation occurred were
George W. Cannon and W. II. Denver.
H. IV. Greer,
Uiiitor Tnii Cn ii: : 1 went to Re
publican headquarters this morning and
proposed to try and find the man who
removed the llag. The manager would
not deposit the reward in the bank, but
said there must be evidence that would
convict the man who did it. I told him
that I knew of no law that would con
victamniiof thecrimel?! of removing his
own property. IV. A'. Cmlgcr.

Honor at Detroit.
DliTRoil, Mich., Oct. 10. The Demo
crats had their demonstration last night.
Speaker Crisp was given an enthusiastic
welcome. He spoke at great length on
the tariff question and made a good im
pression wiih his logical discussion of
the subject. The present tariff law,
lathered bv McKiuley, he said, was inju
rious to the laborer, farmer, manufac
turer nnd professional man alike, lor in
stead of affording protection it imposed
a heavy burden upon them. The pre
vailing low prices in the I lined States,
he asserted, are not the result of the Mc
kinley law, but have been brought about
by large crops und labor saving machin
ery. The force bill and the Southern ques
tion were also discussed by the speaker,
whodeuouueed the former as an iniqui
tous measure.
