Give,: yourself no uneasiness,
Charley. You will certainly get
your "rathers" to the tune of
about 50,000 votes. The people
of this good -State have twice
trusted the republican party: with
the management of its affairs,
only to be betrayedrand humil
iated. In the dark- days of the
sixties when the south was being
overrun by-negroes, carpet bag
gers and scalawags, and civil
government was practically de
stroyed and there was little pro
tection to either life or property,
the same -qld party with which
you have recently allied . yourself
was in complete control of our
state " government. The older
citizens .well remember thosedark
iys of our humiliation, at thie
hands of your party, and have
told the awful story to their sons,
who are going to stand with the
grand old democratic party in
maintaining decent civil govern
ment in the State and for the
continued protection of our noble
women ahd little children. ?

Mr. Bickett called attention to
.the dangerous tendency toward
centralization of .power by the
national republican party and
warned the DeoDle
continuance of an organization
in power Avhich is not in sym
pathy with their necessities and
institutions. The Hamiltonian
idea is entirely too prevalent at
Washington, he declared, not
withstanding .the repudiation of
it by the American people more
than a century ago. Hamilton
wanted the president elected for
life, governors appointed by con
gress and, in. tact, everything
pertaining to the government of
this great country conducted
from the capital city. His dis
cussion of the tariff and trust
questions was, clear and con
vincing, making it plain to the
people that the tariff would not
be revised or the trusts destroyed
by the republican party.

meeting him and .letting the
eople kuow the truth, were
greeted with prolonged applause.
Mr. Crawford directed attention
to the misleading circular, pre
pared by some lawyer for his
opponent to circulate among; the
people, containing the sugges
tion that after this year every
voter must be able to read Latin
and translate the same into "good
plain English." He pointed out
the fact' that every word, or
phrase, in the State Constitution
is found in Webster's dictionary
thus exploding the republican's
pretended contention in the cir
cular with which they are
attempting to deceive the people.
A telling point in Mr. Craw
ford's speech was the reference
any change in the administration
of affairs. They are fully aware
of the conditions existing under
republican rule' and feel content
to "let well enough alone." -
The campaign of education
Messrs. Crawford and Bickett
are making is bearing fruit al
ready and wiil be productive of a
gratifying result in November.
