BIG MASS MEETING Twelve Hundred Enthusiastic . Simmons Men. RINGING RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED TO SHOW THE SENTIMENT OF THE PEOPLE REGARDING ' THE SENATORSHIP. New Bern, N. C, Not. Special. Last night the citizens of New Bern witnessed perhaps the greatest politi cal demonstration seen in this town for a number of years. The occasion was a great mass meeting to endorse Hon. F. M. Simmons for United States senator. The call for the meeting, signed by 20 of the most prominent men of the city, was Issued Thursday morning and read as follows: "It appearing from- rumors current through certain portions of North Car olina, as well as the attitude of our home paper, that the city of New Bern Is unfavorable to the candidacy of the Hon. F. M. Simmons In the Coming sen atorial primaries, and It also appearing that the apparent inactivity of Mr. Simmons' friends in this city is a fact unjust to them, to him and to the city. "Therefore, In the Interest of the can didacy of the Hon. F. M. Simmons we call upon all friends of Mr. Simmons to join in a mass meeting at the court house on Thursday night, November 1, at 8 o'clock, at which time resolu tions will be offered, addresses made, and other steps taken to show North Carolina that the former home of Mr. Simmons Is loyal to his candidacy." Twelve hundred responded to the call and the court house was crowded to its utmost capacity to hold the enthulastic admirers of Mr. Simmons. The meeting was called to order by R. A. Nunn and in his remarks he said: "Notwithstanding the misrepresenta tions made through the state by the New Bern Journal, ninety-nine per cent of the white people of Craven county will recognize the party services and merit and ability and for senator will support the greatest living North Car olinian, the Hon. F. M. Simmons, and the display made here tonight bears me out in the assertion." County Chairman C. T. Watson was made chairman of the meeting. Ring ing speeches were made by D. W. Stev enson, O. H. Gulon, Jas. A. Bryan, D. L. Ward and others favoring Mr. Sim mons for senator, and the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "We, the Democrats of the city of New Bern In mass meeting assembled, desiring to voice our true sentiments to the people of North Carolina in the selection of a senator in the coming primaries, and especially of using this occasion as a means of transmitting our honest conviction to the Democrat ic voters of the state, as our only news paper Is the organ of the opposition In the senatorial contest, and especially as through this organ, while Indirectly, a false impression Is created concerning our choice for senator, therefore be It "Resolved, That in the Hon. F. M. Simmons we have ever found an honest and noble townsman, a gentleman of unimpeachable character, a lawyer brilliant, able and conscientious, and a statesman unexcelled In ability and love for his native land. We have known him as a youth entering upon his chief profession at a time when our community was as it has ever been, the seat of professional ability and elo quence; we have watched him sur mount all obstacles and rise to the top of a great profession; we have seen him enter a congressional race In our district at a time when the enemy were supposed to be too strong to conquer, and through his magnificent ability to take his victorious seat on the Demo cratic side of the congressional halls; we point with love and pride to his great achievements for his state and section during the term in which he so brilliantly maintained his growing rep utation, and we remember In that bril liant congressional term his heroic, fight for the farmers of our state against that trust whose powerful hand snatched from him his second merited term. And with unstituted gratitude and highest admiration we remember his glorious and courageous tight against an enemy In 1898 deemed by many too powerful for defeat, and re call his matchless victory with fervent thanksgiving. "And as Democrats and white men we have enshrined him in our hearts for the establishment of white suprem acy manhood In North Carolina and of the total political annihilation of Ig norance and vice. We art thankful to him for erasing Butlerlsm from th. pages of our history and for securing to the Democratic party that seat In the senate of the United States which for some yearn has brought Ignominy and shame upon th. fair name of our be- Appointed by County Execu tive Committee.

It is with a feeling of deepest regret that we find that his senatorial aspirations should have call ed forth ingratitude and abuse from the party he loves so well and for which he has striven so mightily. In Justice to him we are called to denounce that abuse as untrue, unjust) and ungrate ful. We especially deplore the call from the grave of our beloved and revered Vance, In evidence of a political differ ence existing during &, short period of his life, while we who know our leader best bear testimony of the living to bis upright, untarnished personal charac ter and eminent fitness for the highest office in the gift of a people. Therefore, be it "Resolved, That we as Democrats of the city of New Bern In meeting as sembled, assured in what are the rep resentatives of 95 per cent, of the senti ment of Craven county, do publish to night the fealty, loyalty, love and grat itude we bear F. M. Simmons, and do assure him that evidence of that admir ation shall be produced at the polls on November 6. "And we call upon our Democratic brethren in North Carolina to aid his former home In rebuking his malignera and in placing him In that seat of hon or which he has earned through his magnificent manhood. And be It fur ther "Resolved, That this resolution be transmitted to such state papers as the committee shall find expedient." ISLANDS MISCHARTED. STEERING BY CHART EXTREME LY DANGEROUS.

Croker's open Incitement to riot at the polls Is but a fitting climax to the Bry anlte campaign in which mob violence at political meetings has become a recognized feature. "A singular thing In connection with this campaign is the attitude of the very people who, having opposed Bry an four years ago, are now supporting him, although he represents every principle which they then condemned. Mr. Cockran, for instance, used four years ago stronger language than I would UBe now. "Thus, if you will turn to the New York World of October 80, 1896, you will see that when an attempt was made to break up a meeting whlcn he was: ad dressing Cockran said: 'Bryan and" the crowd of lunatics and ruffians who fol low him illustrate their platform, which stands for anarchy ana not.'
