The tranaporu brought thirty day' j

"On my way from Charlotte to
Kutherfordton, on Monday morning,
to meet my engagement. It turned
out that Senator Overman was oa the
frame train. He came to the door of
the smoking car, where I was altltng
talking to several gentlemen, there
being only one vacant seat left in the
compartment. This man Overman
deliberately came Into the smoking
car, and held out bis damp, flabby,
cowardly hand to me, and said, 'Hel
lo, Senator, how are you? This was
the same miserable coward who had
been reported by the Democratic
press as having gloried in the fact
that he woud not even call my name
in a public speech, but referred to
me as the 'nameless one.'
"I did not, on that occasion, ex
press my contempt for his low cow
ardly conduct, because I did not want
to destroy the opportunity of getting
him into a joint, discussion before
the people on that very day. Whea
I reached the town of Rutherfordton,
Mr. Overman went to the same hotel
that ray committee had placed me
at, and I soon found that Mr. Over
man and his County Chairman and
I and my County Chairman were to
gether in the same room, being the
lobby of tho hotel.
Overman Huns From a Joint Discus
sion and Itutler Denounces Him.
"There and then I had another
challenge delivered to Senator Over
man and his chairman, which, after
a hurried conference between them,
was declined. This news at once
spread to the thousands of people in
town, who had gathered to hear one
or both speeches. As the news spread,
I was informed that a large number
of Democrats denounced the conduct
of Mr. Overman in refusing to say
in my presence what he' had been re
ported to have said in his speeches
elsewhere.
"Mr. Overman started to the court
house with his chairman to deliver
his speech, and only a small part of
that great crowd followed him.
Three-fourths of that tremendous
audience, estimated at from twenty
five hundred to three thousand,
crowded in and around the opera
house to hear me speak. There at
once went up a demand that I should
talk out of doors so that all could
hear. Then the cry went up, 'To
the baseball park, and so it was de
cided, and we went to the baseball
park, and there was not a man left
on the courthouse square nor in the
streets of the town.
"In that speech I denounced Sen
ator Overman as he deserved to be
denounced. I called out to any
friend of his in that audience to go
and tell him what I had said, and
that I would wait for his return and
would repeat what I had said about
Mr. Overman to his face if he had
the courage to cme. I also de
nounced him for going to the court
house along to there abuse me and
eay things that he did not have the
courage to say in by presence.
Overman a Physical, Mental and
Moral Weakling. -
"When my meeting at the baseball
park was over, and. I returned to the
hotel, I learned that Mr. Overman
had cut his speech short and caught
an early train out of town. I was
also told by some one who heard his
speech that he did not say, on that
occasion, what he was reported to
have said in other speeches. In
short, he was too cowardly to repeat
any of the false statements and abuse
he had been guilty of dealing In else
where while I was in the same town.
"Can any man guilty of such
conduct command the respect of
a single fair, brave, North Carolin
ian? (Great applause.)
Mr. Overman has succceeded' In
getting into the class with Josephus
Daniels and Furnifold Simmons, and
indeed, has succeeded in getting
aown in the mire deeper. This man
Overman is, in fact, a small man, a
vain man, and a fraud of a very low
order. I am told that he" is proud
to think himself as resembling Daniel
Webster; that he has often been
caught looking into a mirror and
posing and admiring his physiogno
my, but immediately following such
personal inspection and personal ad
miration of himself, often has to
bacco juice been seen running down
that he is a physical as well as a
mental weakling.
"I here and now denounce him as
being guilty of saying deliberately
and maliciously what he knew as
untrue, and as being a miserable
coward to boot. (Great applause.)
