Patterson, o! Denver, addressed a multitude that forced its way into the theater. In the evening the crowd was augment ed by 2,000 more, and the visitors spoke in the trocadero. No better day for the meeting eould have been selected. - All during the. day a band dis coursed music, classical and patriot ic, in the open air and in the thea ter. The occasion could be wf 11 summed up as a grand old-time Populist re union, and it set many bankers and people of other political faith to thinking. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Wm. l'ique, chairman of the Executive Committe, introduced 3Ir. Patter son as chairman of the meeting. After thanking the convention for the honor involved in selecting him as chairman, Mr. Patterson spoke briefly of the Populist advances in this State, and stated that it was with pride that he noted such an im provement. Its principles were holy and would live long after their advo cates were no more. J))" to People of the Swtli. "To my mind,'' said he, "it is as clear as the sun, that had it not been for the people of the South the nom ination of Bryan and the Chicago platform would have been an impos sibility. It was because of the Pop ulist party victories in Arkansas, Al abama and North Carolina, and the threats to Democratic supremacy in Mississippi and other Southern states, that the Democrat statesmen were given courage to take their stand for the restoration of silver and make it a cardinal doctrine in tho Democrat ic platform. The Populist party of this State stood by Bryan and gave to him the tremendous and signifi cant majority he received two years ago. The enemy of evaluation and hu manity in the Western Hemisphere has been met and conquered and the country is now face to face with peace and the fruits of battle. When we turn to the annals of Congress we discover that the Populist?, Sil ver Republicans and Democrats stood side by side and shoulder to shoulder, that the insults heaped on American honor should be wiped out; that an unwilling President be compelled to take a stand for public dignity. The President was forced to open hostilities. It the gold peo ple shall seek in other States to wage the campaign on issues of this war, the silver forces can say: This was our war.

You can readily see by com pan son that Superintendent Leazar had an average of 1,193 convicts from which to draw to cultivate 11,3(50 acres. Superintendent Smith had 1,143 convicts from which to draw to cultivate 10,099. acres and make the usual amount of brick. This year, the average number of State convicts has been 1,050, from which have been drawn hands to cultivate 12,570 acres (not includ ing gardens, cane and potato patch es) carry on railroad work, shirt making and brick-making dunng crop time as stated above.

When the Populists came into power county orde4 were selling at iH) cents in the dollar In trade at the stores In Pittsboro, and we have actually seen a Democratic ex-Sheriff refuse to accept them in the payment of taxel. It was a good thine for mer chants, who bought county paper at 1X1 cents In the dollar, and then to re ;eive par value with accrued Intel est at 6 per cent from date of issu , but you can imagine the dis gustpf the sturdy tax-payers strug gling under such a financial state ofaf ftirs in their cdunty govern ment Why, under Democratic rule Sve have actually known the public school teachers to sell their vouchers Jat a discount because thera was no money in the treasu ry. DId the Populists do any bet ter??Slnce the tax books have been in the hands of a Populist Sheriff there has never been a teacher's voucher presented that has not been paid promptly, nor have we over heard of a county order or any county script selling for less than its face value. Since we have had a board of commissioners elected by the people, under their levy of va;a tunc uao uccu iiu Klallii i against the county that has not been promptly paid, and to-day a claim against this county is con sidered as good as gold. Are taxes any higher ? Lets see. The levy for 1898 is the same as for 1893, yet we have increased the school tax 2 cents and levied five cents for roads. In other words, for the same money we are giving the taxpayers seven cents more for their schools,and roads than they received under Democratic rule. (Wo had a Democratic board of County Commissioners in 1893.) Since our . County Commission ers have been elected by the people the county has been run more eco nomically than before. The first year they spent $1,927. 90 less on general county expenses alone than their Democratic pred ecessors the last year they were In office ; a saving of about 20 per cent. Our public schools have not been neglected. We have $1.20 per capi ta which is the greatest apportion ment ever made in this county. The expenses of the Supervisor for the year ending July 1, 1898, is up on an average $o.O less than those of the Superintendent under Demo- tcraic rule, although the Supervisor has sixty-eight schools which un dertheold law, the Superintendent did not have. The Populists of this county say that they have as good county off! cers as any county in the State, and are as well pleased with the ad ministration of county affairs. Eveu Democrats say they have no fault to find with the present county government, and some of the more conservative of them cast their bal lots for the Populist candidates for county officers. But how was it with our Demo cratic friends when they were In charge? In nearly every office there were "errors" "mistakes," tar dy settlements and (to be charita ble) glaring evidences of incompe tency. In a settlement with a Democratic Sheriff he was credited with an item of $l,02o.70 for two different years, when it ought not to have been for but one. We called their attention to the matter and asked an explanation. They could not explain the matter away, so the above amount was turned into the treasury, much to the delight of the tax payers. When the Democratic Superinten dent of Public Instruction went out of office in June, 1895 he turned over to the Treasurer his books, but he failed to turn over any cash.

Secretary Alger has written a de fense of Sbafter and tbe War depart ment. It contains a bald eulng of the General's "great wisdom," a lot of confusing generalities about h.es and blankets, and clones with these characteristic words: "I would like to send you these statements in detail, which I think woald bewilder you, if anything can." There is no necessity for bewilderlpg statements. The appointment of Shat ter is the origin of a prima facie case against Secretary Alger. Why was that appointment made? The Santi ago campaign was the first great op portunity for the American army to participate effectively in tbe war with Spain. It was recognized in advance as a severe and perhaps supreme test of tbe efficiency of our untried army. It was expected that the commander selected would bo qua hied y aatura and training to achieve tbe best possi ble result, a man with a record, dear to his subordinates, as an organizer as well as a fighter, of demonstrated rail tary skill and known tact In dealing with men. Gen. Shaffer bad aone of these attri butes. He has no past record as an or ganizer or leader. I'ntil three months ago his nam was unknown, even to the rank and file of the regular army. He had managed to live in negative preferment without fighting and even without forcing recognition either as a progressive theorist or a molder of men. Disqualified physically, with no experience as a leader, unknown and untrusted by tbe regular army which formed tbe bulk of bis command why was Gen. Shatter selected, over tbe beads or distinguished and superior officers, to lead tbe S ntiago campaign? The testimony of every observer at the scene polnu unmistakably atBhaf ter's incompetency. Officers, soldiers, nurses and correspondents contribate a mass of evidence which proves that tbe Santiago army was execrably band ied, neglected ana wantonly exposed; that the successes ot ia caney and San Juan were due to subordinate officers. who acted independently or actually disobeyed orders to save ibeir men and avoid defeat, and to the peerless cour age and Intelligence of tbe mea in tbe ranks, who seized tbe small opportnni ties giqen them and made the beat of a bad bargain. Kven tbe foreign at taches, profuse in praise of tbe person at heroism of the American soldier. bis ingenuity and grasp of desperate chances, are courteously silent about the pitiful condition of tbe troops and tbe apparent incapacity of tbe com manding General. General hhafter is a personal friend and bntinrss associate of llr. Alger; they are both from the same Staff. Tbee are tbe only apparent reasons for Shatter's selection, and it tbe Sec retary of War can furniah any better be has not done so as yet. Tbe Ameri can people have arrived at the eonelo sioi that personal polities governed Mr. Alger's appointments and conduct oi tne war; tnac tneir army was ex posed to unnecessary hardships be cause the military preparations and leadership of tbe Santiago campaign were both as bad and inadequate as tbe motives which governed tbem. It is all very well to stand by tbe government in peace and in war, but tho rights of thousands of our soldiers are of greater moment than conven tional respect that may or may not to due to a Cabint politician.
