A synop sis o Mr. Gay's speech Appeared in the l ist issue of The Caucasian, but tho report ia the Patron and (ileaior is fuller, and we, therefore, nuppoKi near r the exact words of tho speaker. It is as follows: "It may teem stiango to some of you tor a Democrat to be called upon to introduce to this vast audi tive thp crreat leader of an opposite pnrty.

Sen ator Butler, as chairman of tho Pop ulist National Executive Committee, in defiance of the bitter and malig nant opposition of his own candi date for vice-President the fussy Tom Watson, and all the "Middle of the-Roaders" cf his party, and of the sneers and discourtesies of many who called themselves Democrats, but who were real'y only Sherman Cleveland Pharisees, in spite of all this venom and scorn, he did his duty as a patriot, displaying cour f ge and capacity e q'lal to the great occasion. lie could hav9 been a millionaire to-day, If he had con ducted a side show for Banna's gret circus.

Fellow-citizens, I have known Senator Butler longer than any of you. 1 first met him in the mount ains of Wes'ern North Carolina in the Summer of 1886, at the North Carolina Teacher's Assembly. He was then only about 22 years of age and a school teacher he has been a teicher ever since. His speech, on that occasion, in nominating for Pre sident of the Assebmly, Edwin A.

T tn. saythif: we are in a desperate war- rare, our liberties and otxr privileges are at stake, we havea powerful and unscrupulous adversary with un told resources, foreign and domestic. There are thousands of traitors among us who would sell their coun try for less than thirty pieces of sil ver. I do not mean to v that u who do not agree with ns are sp.onn. drela, for I know some who are hon orable men, but they are becoming few and rare, and there is hope of reclaiming them. Most of us recentiv were among them perhaps. Edu cate them, but brand and ostraci the tools of the monopolists who are bought with a price. Let us, inspired by the magnitude atd jastice of our cause, forget past differences and prejudices, and march in solid phal anx against the common enemy. If we must fight in different divisions we may yet fight not less successfully. It required the combined forces of Europe to destroy Napolean and his ambitious threat would enslave the world, but it was done, and a Water loo awaits the people's enemies nn- der the leadership of one greater than Wellington a veritable Napolean without Napolean's faults. Willi Jennings Bryan. FOR THE DISSECTING KNIFF. IIodls of Criminal, Insane and Poor Bent to Medical School. It is a fact not generally known that the last Legislature passed an act requiring that the bodies of all criminals executed and all people dy ing in jails, hospitals, asylums and other public institutions and re quired to be buried at the public ex pense, shall be delivered to the medi cal colleges of the State to be dis sected for the promotion of medical science. But such is the case, and under takers in Raleigh have had quite a number of "stiffs, a3 they are called, to embalm and send to the institut ions of learning since the passage of the act. Mr. John Brown last week sent the bodies of two negro women, from the Goldsboro Insane Asylum, to the University of North Carolina, and he now has another negro wemen, undergoing the embalming process, which he will send to Shaw University to-morrow. She is from the penitentiary and died of con sumption. All such bodies west of Goldsboro are sent to Davidson College. During the vacations these bodies are given to such physicians as may make application for them. SENATOR BUTLER AT ROCKY MOUNT. A Representative Audience From a Kum hr of Adjoining Counties.

Hu,,,,,,- r.ets Obtained. Prom advance theeta of the report of btate-Labor-Commiioner J. V. Uamriek forthe current yea some in teresting facts are obtained. He saj s this State ia,one of the leading cotton manufacturing States of the Union, and no other State in the South can show within 300,000 the number of spindles (save Georgia and South Carolina). The mills, one-third of which rnn day and night, can spin more than the State's product. The aggregate horse-power is 3,500,000, capable of running 140,000,000 spin dles. Wages of cotton mill opera tives are mnch lower than those paid North, and there are no laws regu lating the hours of mill labor, which rests on the same basis as the labor er on the farm, in the forest, and in the mine. The cotton mills are in forty-eight counties, and have 24, 021 looms and 1,010,147 spindles; be sides twenty-five hosiery mills, with 1,410 knitting machines, and two dyeing and finishing mills. In these mills there are employed 26,287 per sons, of whom 8.448 ere men, 12,070 women, and 5.363 children, and there is in nse about 43,000 horse power. The average wages paid skilled male operatives "(exclusive of ma chinists, engineers, firemen, and sn" perintendentp) are $1.11 per day; fcr unskilled, 66 1 4 cents; skilled wo men, 67 cents; unskilled, 40 cents; children, 34 cents, the general aver age being 65 cents a day for 1897, against 62 cents a day for 1896. Of thejmills reporting, 93 per cent, report an increase in wages, 311 a decrease, and the remainder no change; 54 per cent, charge employ ees house rent, while 46 per cent, maka no charge. The hours of la bor average Hi. The mills in operation on an average last 288 days. were year ABUNDANT HELP. There appears to be an abundance of mill labor in the state. There is no antagonism between the employer and the employed. The employees are better satisfied than any other class. The hours of labor are being settle 1 by the persons interested, and neither class favors legislation, for in answer to inquiries on this poiut only 5 per cent, are in favor of legislation. There are no strikes, favoritism, dissatisfaction, or un just decisions. Ninety-four per cent, ofjthe mills report sufficient relig ious advantages for employees. Al most all the mills hajve churche? for their employees, ar-d in a great many cases officers atd suu-kbolders of mills are tettchi itf operatives in Sun day schools. The pastors of such mill churches are better paid than those of country churches, or in some cases, even better than thosa of city churches. As to the financial con dition of operatives only 5 per cent, of the reports say it is bad. The per centage of children employed in mills who can read and write has in creased from 66 12 per pent, to 88 per cent, this year. There are newly-chartered milS'at Taylorsville, Concord, Cherry ville, Gastonia, Lincolnton, Charlotte, Milledgeville, Spray, Waxhaw, and Huntsville eleven in all. There are mills heretofore unlisted at Mt. Pleasant, Prosperity, Staley, Ran dleman, and Yadkin Falls. There are mills now in course of construc tion or just completed at Taylors ville, Stubbs, Fayetteville, Troy, Hillsboro, Rutherfordton, Albemarle and Henderson nine in all. IN FAVOR OF BIMETALLISM. An English Mass Meeting Adopt Resolu tions on The Currency Question. Manchester, Eng. Oct. 12 Sir Wiljiam Houldsworth, Bart., Con servative member of Parliament for the Northwest division of Manches ter, who was the delega4 of Great Britain at the monetarjOoonference held atBrnssells in 1892, presided to day at a large meeting here, at which a resolution was adopted call ing upn ice government "in view i . j . of the injurious effects of the dislo cation between gold and silver,1' to take advantage of the overtures of ranee and the United States and redeem the government's promise in regard to securing a stable parity be tween gold and silver.' If a President, or a Governor worn to maintain and defend the Constitution and enforce the laws. disregards the Constitution and aws in dealing with any alleged law breakers, he sets an example which naturally leads to lynching. Certain proceedings by our Fed eral and State authorities at Chica go, Hszeleton, Pocahontas and else' where are in tbe nature of official ynching. Government by irjunc tion and contempt; fine and inipris onment without hearirgor trial; and tne snooting down ot, unarmed men on the public streets and hig hways, &?., are all varieties of lynchin?. But, it is alleered. these men were violating tbe law. That is danied; on the contrary, it is held that they were simply exercising their most sacred and essential rights, even if some ruffians in the crowd (said to be em- isaries of the coiporations &a ) did do deeds of violence. In these offi cial lynchings, the effences, at most. were against property, and in no de gree justifying the arbitration de struction of life and liberty. A Very Large .Library la Mitchell County Wilmington Messenger I A private library in Mitchell coun ty, owned by an ex-professor of Harvard (Mass.) university, is said to contain 50,000 volumes. That is a very great library for a private citi zen ; Mr. Gladstone had a library reported to be of huge size placed we tninK, at 30.UU0 volumes, the most of which was left as a public library, we think, for the public around Hawardencastle, his rural home. A library of 30.000 volumes would probably fill all the rooms and halls of one of Wilmington's large residences. The late Henry Thomas Buekle had a library of 30.000 vol umes and it filled his halls, staircases "1 a J . - ana most 01 nis rooms.

C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER HEHRT GEORGE EXPLAINS- PLAIH, CAN0I0 STATEMENT ON THE RECtNT COMBINATION ACTED AFTER DUE DELIBERATION. HUU View, ae t. the t !..,-. Vmtmm Fb.Iob Candidate With the Comaalttee. and has his I'tiiuriLd Approral-IIl roUciea. New York, Oct. 13. Mr. Ueary George, candidate fcr the Thomas Jefferson Democracy for mayor, to night gave out the following letter concerning tbe recent combination with the Citizens' Union : On Friday, October 5 Ji, in Cooper Union, I accepted the nominations tendered me that of the people there essembled npon the platform and resolutions there adopted; that of the United Democracy; that cf ih Democratic Alliance; that cf the Manhattan Single-Tax Club, and that of tbe People's party. In accepting these nominations it was my intention to do so for myself alone, and to leave every question of who should run with me for other of fices to be settled by the organiz i tions themselves, trusting that this might be accomplished either by a union upon such offices or by my running for mayor upon the tickets of all, leaving subordinate e fines to be filled in by each. As the only way of satisfactorily settling these details in the short time allowed by the necessity of ac tion under the law, I submitted this question of how I should run to a committee appointed by the chair man of that meeting, composed of men for whose probity, prudence and character I could personally vouch. After careful examination, the com mittee has recommended to me that there be printed on the ticket to be given offisiai currency under the em blem of the rooster, such names for city officers as may be selected; that there shonld also be printed the names selected by the Citizens' Union for candid tes in the county of New York, by the Democratic or ganization for the counties of Kings uaeens, and by the Democracv of Thomas Jefferson for the county of Richmond. Tne jidgmentof the committee. unanimously expiessed commends tself to me, and ha3 my entire and unqualified approval. I am the can didate of whoever may choosa to vote for me, and do not presume to ask him to vole for any one else. But, since we have net the pure Aus tralian ballot, it is necessary that I should take the most reasonable means of being presented fairly to the voters for their suffrages. I do this in the manner recommended to me by the committee who have ex amined the question in all of its bear ings, and to put all the associations and organizations favorable to me upon an equality, leaving to the in dividual the responsibility of select ing whom he chooses for himself, I have at the same time withdrawn my acceptance of the nomination of the Union Democracy, the only organi zation supporting me that has made separate ticket. I thus carry but in ;ts spirit and meaning the pledge made at the peo pie's mass-meeting at Cooper Union on October 5th. MR. GEORGE'S PLATFORM. In an interviw regarding what he proposf d to do if elected mayor of New York, Henry George said to day: I will execute the excise law ac cording to my interpretation of it. and I will tell you frankly what I think about excise. "I think it is an injustice, and an absurdity, and am totally opposed to the existence of any excise Hw what ever, it 1 could, 1 would abolish it. along with many other laws. If elec ted mayor, I would enforce the ex cise law jast so far as the letter of it required, and not a step beyond. "1 believe in the largest possible liberty for the individual. I am a Jeffersonian Damocrat. We have too many laws. It is one of our great est troubles this mass of restrictive legislation. What one does, as long as it injures no one else, is no one's else business. The moral effect of my election and also of the results of my administration would powerfully promote the acceptance of my single tax doctrine. That I can defeat b Ah. Van Wyck and Tracy, I do not feel the slightest doubt. In my opinion, the issue is solely between Mr. Low and myself 1 think 1 shall beat him.' DUNNED ON A POSTAL CARD.
