FROM HIS, SICK BED
ine voice of "Our Cy" Still
Heard for People's Cause.
SPEAKS WORDS THAT BURN
WllX. PROBABLY SPEAK NO MORE IN
THIS CAMPAIGN.
"My Own Voice Cannot Be Balsed In Your
Hearing, Bat Let the Voice of This Letter
rieaa with loo."
My Fellow Citizens :
On the 25ih of July, in the city ol
Raleigh, toe Democratic party in
vwincuuuu abBcmoieu, caiiea me
trom us ranks, and told me I must
be its candidate far Governor.
I asked no man tor the com mis.
tioo. The vote of the convention
came to me unsought and unbidden.
Many stronger and abler hands
might have r ceived the parly's
banner and carried it to victory.
Heeding the earnest solicitations of
my life long friends, and hearing the
expressed will of that great conven
tion, and being accustomed to obey,
i accepted tbe truHt, and with an
eager longing to have the honor of
being the chiet executive of tbe mil
lion and a halt and more North
Carolinian?, whom I esteem as the
perfect bloom of ihe Earth's people.
I took my position on the front of
the battle deck. Although mindlul
of the arduous and incessant labors
of the campaign to be undertaken, I
was not deterred by its promise of
unerasing toil, and its manifold ex
action?, because I have hnown even
from childhood and through all the
years ot my lite that tbe highest
honor that could be attaiued by a
North Carolinian was to obtain the
suffrages of tbe freedom of his native
S ate for this high and responsible
office.
As soon as the executive commit
tee ot the party w. s organized,
under the direction of that commit
tee, I went into tbe held as tbe reps
resrutative ol my party, which ha
become the strongest champion of
the great cause for which the people
were themselves contending, and as
such representative I .was eager to
declare to you my fellow citizens,
my position upon the all important
icsues involved in ihta mighty cii
lesi a contest in which tbe people
are demanding that the control ot
their government and financial sys
tem shall be taken from the mouev
cbaiigersot foreign land- and placed
into their own bauds. Iu my heart
of heart of hearts I knew the win
ning justice of this noble cause, and
loved to support it like a man loves
to support the wife and children ot
his home.
According to the custom esteemed
tor its usefulness, as well as its
tiqu ty in JNorth Carolina, 1 detired
to mt-et my opponent, Mr. ilussell,
in joiut deoate upon all tbe ques
tions in this campaign, but be re
jected my challenge and declined to
stand up in tbe field witb me d.
tore tbe people. A joiui qibcussioo
with me was sougbl by Major iiutb
rie of the People's party. I cheer
fully accepted the request, and alter
filling some appointments of my
own, we entered together on a can
vass of some ot tbe western counties.
By mutual agreement we parted at
Wilkesboro, aod 1 continued my
regular appointments through tbe
State. From exposure and fatigue
I have been stricken dewn witb
sickness, and am now coined to
m
mv home. Though much improved
j leelincr mvselt erowine stronger
am advised that I may not be able
in Rirain enter the campaign, fear
ing that this may be true, I write
this letter that the voters in those
t i rt .i T
sections Ol JNOno iaronua, iuan
have not been able to reach may
tmna, that, mv heart is with tbem: I
... i
that 1 wish I was able te speak to
them in every county in the State
to ask their suffrages for tbe great
party that has presented my name
for consideration, and to meet the
people lace to
face and talk witb
them in regard to
their necessities
and the policy ot the government.
There has been no time since tbe
establishment ot our government
when issues bave been presented lor
the consideration of the plain people
of tbe land which more strongly in
volve their rights, tbeir liberties and
their homes. In 1892 as a delegate
from North Carolina to tbe L-bicago
convention, 1 stood ior a piauorm,

government as a money ot nnai re

witb joy the nomination of candi
dates upon that platform whose very
lives embodied tbe principles of the
piauorm itself.
It was my moHt heartfelt wish to
prer-ent to the good people of North
yaroiina my views on these great
issues presented bv tbe Democratic
parly to the American people, and
to speak to them of tbe burdens
which they have borne o long and
paUeutlj, and to rj ice witb them
in the glad hopes oi returning life
and prosperity; to explain to them
tbe income tax, by which tbe rich
should bear their proper burden ot
taxation, and to urge that men bold
ing property exempted from anv
direct taxation should contribute to
tbe support ot the government by a
just and proportionate tax upon
their incomes. This measure adopt.

and many Questions presented bv

wished to present to you. I desired
above all things to sneak to the
people of the trusts and unlawful
combinations which were threaten
ing tbe destruction of the commerce
and business of tbe country com
binations of men by which the very
necessities of life were placed under
their absolute control to be dealt out
to the consumer at prices fixed by
illegal meanx, and under the opera
tions ot which small dealers with
limited capital are being driven
from business. The business of others
is being controlled within channels
directed by tbe trusts. The prices
of raw materials iu tbe hands of tbe
original producers are fixed by these
trusts and combinations at or below
the cost of production, and then in
turn tbene same raw materials, when
manufacture)), are sold by these or
ganizations at the prices nxed by
ibtm and tbus to a great ex ent has
all coin pel M ion in the purchase of
raw materials and in ihe sale of
manufactured products been de
stroyed. Mark Hanna is the apothe
osis of these trusts and combines,

In mv SDeech to the Julvconven-
tion, I declared tben that tbe situa
tion tend Tec tbe isttue as to whether
the peop'e should be left free to ex
ercise their own choice, or whether
the power of Ilannaif-m would not
in a stealthy and deceptive manner
hoodwink them through true ted
leaders and endeavor to defeat their
ainm.
My declaration has been verified,
for Uannaism has entered the rooms
ot our opposing committees in na
tion, State, county and township,
and has at least beclouded the minds
of our opponents, and thwarted them
in their expressed purpose to see
the people united in securing tbe
control of their financial system,
which tbey so much desire.

EX-SPEAKER C P. CRISP DEAD,
A Distinguished Georgian Gone.
Atlanta, Ga.. Oh 23 Honor
able Cdailes Frederick Ciisp, Speak
er of the Fift first and the Fitly-
second VJongresses. died at Holmes'
Sanitarium here at 1:45 o'clock this
afternoon. . A paroxyein of pain iu
tbe heart preceded death, tbe parox
ysm probably resulting from a rup
ture of tbe heart, as the result ol
a fatty degeneration.
J udge Crisp came to Atlanta six
weeks ago for treatment. He was
suffering from a typical case of ma
lariat fever, which had developed
at bis home io Americus. He spent
June, July and a part of August in
the Mountains of North Coralina
and Tennessee. His return to tbe
middle of Georgia during the very
hottest period ot the summer deve
loped the fever. After a week's
treatment by Drs. H Imes and Da
vis, the fever disappeared and the
judge improved slowly. Last week
be was out driving several times
and he was getting stronger until
Sunday night when he was attacted
with symptoms of his old trouble
pneumonia. Dr J. S. Todd was
called in and ou Tuesday tbe con
gestion of the lungs bad di -appeared
but the patieut was so weak that
Mrs. Crisp telegraphed for her chili
dren and all came the next day. On
Wednesday and yesterday Judge
Crisp's condition improve, but he
received no callers. IIn family
was hopeful until 10 o clock last
night, when he had a paroxysm of
pain near tbe bean. At midnight
there was another poroxysm and
bey continued at intervals all
through tbe forenoon. II) uf
fered intense pain, but was conscious
up to tbe very last. At 1:30 his
son Charles F. Crisp, Jr., aod his
younger brother and sisteis, went
across tbe street to the hotel for
lucb, Mrs. Criep remaining with ber
husband. At 1:40 the pain reap
peared. A messenger was sent
tor the children. Tbey came rapid
ly and juH in time to get some last
glances cf recognition.
Judge Crisp did not speik, dying
within five minutes ot the last attack
All of bis children were with him,
and although they bad been warned
by tbe physicians tbat death might
come at any moment, when it did
come it was tragic in its buddeu-nei-s.
Governor Atkinson was his last
vifitor, having called on Sunday,
when be and tbe judge chatted lor
n hour on current topics Judg
Crisp was keenly interested in poli
tics until tbe last be opposed fusion
with the Populists and charged Gov
ernor Atkinson to defeat it if he
p ssibly could in Georgia.
Judge Crisp was one ot the lead
ers ol the silver movement in G or
gia, and on tbat issue the Stale over
vhelmingly indorsed bim for the
UuHt-d States Senate to which be
would bave been elected unanim
ously by the legislature: There
wouid bave been practically no
opposition to bim for tbe Senate. His
death at this time complicates tbe
matter and will lead to a bitter fight
tor the senatorship. Perhaps other
offices will be involved, too. Judge
Crisp declined to consent for re no
mination to the House.
The funeral arrangements have
not been completed, but tbe body
will lie in state at toe capitol to-mor
row and an address will be deliver
ed by G vovernor Atkinson and
citizens of the congrecsiuoal district
which he represented.
rhe announcement of Judge
Crisp's death was telegraphed to
rhomas 13 Lieed, ot .Portland M.e.,
to sergeant at arms of tbe House of
Representative, u being customary
to notify the omcers of tbe death ot
any membeis of tb6 House during
recess in order tbat tbe proper con
gressional escort may be appointed
Up to a late hour to-night no res
ponse bad been received trom either
of these gentlemen, Many tele
grams of sympathy were recived
by Mrs Crip to-night from promin
ent persons. becretary liamonl
was one of tbe first to send a mes
sage.
At 6 o clock - tjroveroor Atkinson
and some others met in conference
and made arrangements fir the fun
eral. At tbeir request the family
consented to the remains lying at
the State capitol. It was toe wish
ot tbe citizens of Atlanta tbat the
body be kent at the capitol under
military guard over Sunday, bat she
preferred to return to tbtir borne.
At 10.30 tomorrow the G ivernor
State, city and county officers, mem
bers elect of tbe general Assemb'y,
mtmbeis of tbe Atlant bar and pro
mment citizens and mttary omcers
will escoit the body from the sanl
larium to tbe capitol in tbe rotunda
of which tbe remains will be placed
on a catafalque. Details of military
will mount guard and the top of ihe
casket will be removed and ihe cit
izens will be given a last opportuni
ty to look upon the face ot the dis
lioguisbed dead, Eirly Sunday
morning tbe body witb a largo es
cort, will leave here for Americus
going by way of Macon. Upon
arriving there the rem iins will be
placed in tbe Methodist cburcb and
lie in Stae for two hours when

io man was yet to be made and tbe

From the first he realized that the

is not a sinecure. He appreciated
its requirements for patient and ar

zeal and industry not often quali

thoroughly acquainted with the ma

legislation; he quickly learned bow

firmness in pursuing it. It is easy
to understand why tbe o he- Demo
cratic leaders in the fift) -third Con
gress urged bim not to give up tbe
gavel and accept the proffered sena
torship. I hey knew tbe value of
bis services where be was, and un
derstood how difficult would be the
task of filling his place.
Much oi the success ot Judge
Crisp was undoubtedly due to his
pleasant disposition and his fascin
ating address. He won the good
will of men wonderfully soon, and
the oharm of bis personality was felt
whether be moved among bis col
leagues in Congress or addressed
multitudes from tbe hustings. He
had a way of getting close to people
which many a politician endeavors
to acquire, but which seemed entire
ly natural with him. 1 bough be
could not bo accused of partiality to
his political opponents while he
wielded tbe speaker's gavel, and
though he rapped tbem severe
ly in debate: probably no Democrat
in Congress bad so many personal
friends as be could count on tbe lie
publican side of tbe bouse, and at
the same time his popularsty among
bis own party associates was excep
tionally great.
Tbis was creditable to him but
what honors bim far m to is tbe fact
that be served thirteen years in
Congress, the greater part of tbe
time as one ot tbe moat conspicuous
of it; members, and not one word ot
accusation was ever uttered against
him, though the air which envelopes
the capital is often heavy wr.b tbe
breath of dis'raction. Not one shad
ow of suspicion rests on h s fair of
ficial record. It is a heritage of
which bis children may justly be
proud and which tbe people of his
Slate will remember and cherish.

What Wight Hit Been.
Springfield Republican. "
Probably tbat foreign agent of
the Department of agriculture is
right in saying tbat we might have
started tbe wheat jue before and
made more moi ey on the export
able surplus. The short crop cot
ditions which bave brought on tbj
present advanoe were known to ex
ist more than a month ago, but tbe
long continued low prices seem io
have para'jzed tbe energies of the
speculative element. Meantime tbe
foreigners were able quietly to take
out of the country a large quantity
of wheat at very low prices uompar
ed with ibot-e of today.
As Oregon Sees Senator Tillman.
Portland Oregoiin.
Mr. Tillman, now stumping Ore
gon for Bryan, is a man of peculiar
presence. In bis gestures, while
speaking, and in the sneer that
plays upon bis face as be pauses for
eutct, be is a wonderful counter
part of the late Brigbam Young.
leader of the Mormon Cburcb. This
resemblenod is most marked, and
who listened to thegreat apostle of
Mormonism were quick to recognize
tbe cold, sneering mannerisms so
prominently reproduced by bis lat
ter day proiotype.
