THE STANDARD TUKN S OUT GOOD - JOB - WORK AT LIVING PRICES. GIVE US A TRIAL THAT ONE-SIDED SPEECH Iltaeklnh Unriger Makes a Ureal Nprrrli, Bat Won't IHvl.lo Tlniei Mr. II A Gudger, of Abbeville, a Republican elpctorat-large, ad dressed a full house of all political persuasions Wednesday night in tht o mrt room. He said be wished to speak no harsh or bitter words. People wanted reaeoD, not bitterness. Many hard invectives bud been hurled at Popu lists by the Democrats, but now they are imploring the Populists tc come to their aid to keep them from defeat. He did not mean the bolting Democrats. This is a time everybody is donned a bug gold bugs, silver bugs and humbugs. He'd rather be a gold bug than a bug in the barn yard rolling a ball backward. Democrats wanted him to disease the one question, money. Men of one idea were said to be fanatics, bnt he would discuss the money question. He said there never bad been a time in the history of the party that it declared for free coinage till the Chicago convention. It did it then to save a sinking ship, and tbej stole the silver plank from the Pop ulist party in is entirely. Don't the Democa's cut a pretty figure going around crying I'm a Jtffer soman Democrat. He told a negro story implying that Democrats should be sent to the chain gang fur stealing the silver plank, but he says it is dead, and therefore should not be punished. He said hu stood squarely on the St. Louis platform. It demands bi-metalluin by international agree ment. The Democrats and Popu lists say America and all civilized nations demonetized silver, yet si), ver circulates frtely in them all at face value and in America it is worth as much as a gold dollar. This money question is an international disease and must have an interna tional remedy. The Republican platform had the only right idea. He said all the money sent out to foreign miseiot.s is sent to silver staidard countries; not one dollar of it goes to a old standard coun try. He said silver advocates asked to get down on a level with coun tries that use silver. .Tbey talk of following England. He would rather folio ber than to follow heathen countries. He paid for breakfast in Mexico, banded the man a silyer dollar; the man handed him back a Mexican dollar and charged him fifty cents for the meal, because the Mexican dollar is worth only fifty cents of our money. Mr. Bryan says if we get free coinage the Mexican dollar will bj worth 100 cents. Silver bullion is only property. If I have a horse worth $100 and my neigh bor has a hundred Collars' worth of silver bullion, what right has the government to double the value of my neighbor's bullion property with out doubling the value of my horse property ? He said that less than one hun dred men own the silver bullion and the Democrats eay they are opposed to monopolies, yet tbey would make the bullion owners who Are already rich just twice aa rich as they are, and that Democrats say that would raise the price of corn and wheat. He scorned the idea. He said Mr. Hurst received $4, 000,000 wnrih of silver per year the shoals of il health and the rock.' of disease is easy enough if only the digestion be kept in good order. It isn't often any one i sick unless they have indigestion. The commonest way in which indiges tion shows itself il i n constipation. Nine people in ten ni-i. troubled mora. lit- or less In this way. Nine-tenths of all the world's sickness is caused by this one trouble. Sleepless ness, pimples, blotches, headaches, soul itomach, dizziness, "heart-burn," palpi tutiim, biliousness, distress after eating all these are merely symptoms of const nation. Why do people suffer with them when the cure is so simple and so easily Obtained f Years ago, Dr. Pierce's Pleas ant Pellets were placed on the market - Since then, there has been no excuse for nylxviy to suffer from constipation, and ts attendant ills.

The Democrats say that free coin age will make an expansion oi toe currency, lie thought it would be . i .l. the ooposite. He said that it was the history of the world that no twi metals wonld circulate together when they did not hae equal in trinsio valae, that the dearer money would flow out. lie said w have 631,000,000 in gold that will flow out and according to estimates it would take 13 years to coin enough silver to take is place. They say make more mints. We are taxed to build these mints to coin bullion free for rich men. lie said the Democrats always want something free and always ... t - J 1 tA some Hew mine, lie sam in ov they wanted a free fight and got it Next they wanted the free educa tional Blair bill, then free whiskey, then free trade, and now free silver, but they did not want free elections in North Carolina nor free negroes. He claimed that the men who have the bullion ought to pay for the ceinao-e of it. lie stoutly denied that the Re publican party wanted only gold as a circulating medium. lie said they only wanted to make the gold a standard of valuation. He (bowed that since the act of '73 silver has been coined much mere rapidly than ever before and that under the pres ent administration it is at the high est rates. He ridiculed the idea that the Democrats are friends to free silver and cited the repeal of the Sherman purchase act and claimed that $4,000,000 per month were lost to the circulation by it. He said that over 400 bills for silver bad been let sleep in Congress, i hen Mr. Bland tried for free coin age at 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 to 1 but all were murdered by the Demo crats; that Mr. Bryan helped to murder the last four. He has more confidence in Mr. Bryan than in all the rest of the Democrats. He says we have two dollars now to one in '73. He denies that the hard timet come from the silver legislation. In 1879 we had the resumption of specie payments, and times got better every year till '92, and all was booming. He said if silver had been dead ever since '73 it could not produce the good times, and that it had not produced the hard times. lie asserted that protection had made, the good times and that free trade had made the hard times, be ginning with 92. High tariff brought prcperity, free trade brought adversity. He pictured happy homes nnder pro tection and gioom Under free trade. He said he had resigned a place under Mr, Cleveland that any Dem ocratic lawyer in the State would give $500 for. That it brought him (.3,000 without interfering with hit hgal practice. He resigned it be. cause be could not endorse Demo crat io measures any longer. He denounced men who hold office nnder Mr. Cleveland, and then jay hard things of him. He blamed the Chicago conven tion for its threat to pull down the Supreme Court, which should not be political But he and the dan ger will soon be over and there will be a great victory for the peerless McKinley. He claims North Caro loa, Tennessee, California, Mis iiouri, Oregon and Washington for Mr. McKinlej. lie said McKinley was the politi cal star that will guide ns safe from all the ills that Republicanism is trying to avert. riio ElortorM Ticket.

TAMXA Tlinno opnlUt Nt-liea. The people were entertained Wednesday by Messrs. Bily and Docker. Mr. Billy spoke first and confined himself to tbe financial question. Most ol hia speech was not nw to those no have heard the discussions during the campaign We do not remember, though, to have heard any one say before that we had dropped from a 52 per capita to the present $21 per capita. II 15 claimed for the Populists the credit for the free silver drift in the Democratic party, and claimed great credit for it. The speaker is young and vehement and is peculiar for his pronunciations rather than his logic, DCCKER-V'S BPIECH. Mr. Dockery was introduced as the Old War Horse of th Pee Dee. After some words of greeting to the people of Cabarrus he referred to the great monc; question. He said it was not a nol ucal question at all, that it had bten unwisely thrust into politics. He declared himself a Republican as eyer. He only placed himself where be could wield the sword for free silver. He declared that the Republican party had been the real friend to silver aa he could and would prove beyond the possi bility of denial. He quoted ex tracts from speeches of many lead ing Republicans against tbe demon etization of silver in whose company he was in Congress and showed that Republicanism had changed and not himself. lie read from Prisident Lincoln in 1805 that while the rebellion was being closed in npon be saw with dread that corporations were springing np and that the wealth of the land w.s beine gathered into the hands of tbe few. It seemed prophecy then, it is reality now It was f-sserted by good authority that 50 men in New York could in 24 h inrs stop the wheels of progress in every importunt industry in the land. He ridiculed the assertion that in the days of greenback curreucy that inflation hud reached a point that iiad rendered it a question. He asked who ever heard of too much inflation of money ? He strongly denounced the calling in of much of tbe greenbacks and of issuing bonds for them whose inter est was to be paid in current money which was afterward changed to read coin. He asserted emphatically that the act of '73 was surreptitiously gotten through unaware to President Grant, J G lilaine and James A Garfield as to its t fleets to demonetize silver. II 3 held up McKinley in the bad light of denouncing President Cleve land about lowering the price of everything but money and now McKinley is on the same line. lie said he knew McKinley per lonally and liked him, but that he did not have back-bone enough to roll over in a mud hole. He touched up "Jeter" and quoted him as say. ing I am in favor of silver and be lieve it should be restored to its former dignity. He had changed like if by miracle, but tbe speaker thought it was not by miracle but by an old cooter like Mark Hanni. He said if free coinage is not good bow was it good six months ago when Pritchard and his followers were setting tbe woods on Gre for it in the Westirn part of the State lie said he was in favor of a pro tective tariff but a reasonable rate lie was strongly against tbe Mc Kinley idea of a tariff. He had been in the South American States and the islands of the West Indies, tnd he asked "Why don't you trade more with us" when they would say you charge us a tariff higher than the price of our goods." lie declured his aversion to the Republican national platform. He liked tbe money plank iu the Demo cratic platform, bnt liked that of the Populist plaifi rni better, so he would rootit on the P pulibt limb till free silver ws realized, then he iiould return to the Republican riiuks ami work wherever they put him, but until they endorsed free silver confound them. He never wanted to be Governor, hut wheu pressed he consented to run, and he hated like the d 1 to be cheated out of the election as tbe Democrats bad done. He addressed the few colored peo ple who he s tid had beeu told not to go to bear hiui, and warned them against voting for'Daniel Russell, lie said he was a dangerous, evil du signing man that would never for give an in j 'iry,. but would indulge bis spite as h had done in calling the negroes snyages and thieves and other vile names and declared they ought not to be allowed to voto. He was not surprised that Russe'l would 29, 1896. not meet Guthrie or Wutscn or any body else who would tell on bim. He did not see bow building fac tories would help ths colored man. Ue said the first vote Gufchrie cast was for Bishop llood, whom he praised most highly and said when ever Bishop Hood was in his neigh borhood he always kept him in his home. Daily Standard of Oct. 23. Mr. NiniH nntl the Kcttolntlon. The resolution drawn up and adopted by the conference commits tees of the Populist and Republi can parties of this county, which by the way is the most p iniean, dis criminating scheme that has ever been designed and pi esented to th' public, has caused Mr. Sims anil other members of his party to disa gree, the Sheriff claiming the reso lution as a direct thrust at him. The resolution reads : "The conference committee demands that no Populist or Republican can be elected to anj office who will not enthusiastically work for the co-operation, ticket and who will refuse to giye employment to members of the Populist and Re publican parties when he has it it his power to do so, but gives said employmenr to members of oppos og parties. lhe resolution if signed by M II H Caldwell, J B White, M L Buchanan, J W Boger and W O Coleman. At the district school house in No. 4 township Thursday a fiery discussion took place between Sher iff Sims and Morrison Caldwell. Sims says that the resolution was intended as a thru-it at bim bicirst he employed Montgomery tit Crowell, Cernocrats, as hia attorneys, when a Populist lawyer was available, and that he gave employment to Mr. M M Gillon. a Democrat, in preference to a populist of Republican. Cald well made a miserable effort in try ing to defend the resolution and hu party, but Mr. Sims finally eqtieezed the admission from Caldwell that tbe rctoltttiou waa strictly partisan. Just what Mr. Sims n.tmns l.y his attack upon h.'s pur ?y and tl.e onee who designed the resolution, puzzles them very much. The fight is amusing and to th disinterested on lookers and follower of the canvass the daily performance is amusing. Mr. Sitn'was asked if he would not run as an independent candidate for Sheriff, and in answering he Mated that be would let the public know what be intendeded doing on Friday next, Outober 30, in No. 11 township.

On Thursday night last two ladies who live on West CorbiD street had occasion to visit on West Depot stieet, aud in order to eyade the keen eyes of a criticising public they would not come the street way, but crossed by the path that leads by the old Presbyterian church and jraveyurd, "over the hill." When reaching tbe lower end of tho grave yard the sheep ran down the hill just in front of the ladies. The melancholy moon-beams and the "hostly appearance of the straj muttons, made the women ftel very "sheepish." They were badly frightened, and thoiipbt that the spirits had certainly come for them. The ladies managed to reach Df pot street before fainting, when their experience was revealed to a passer by, who, with great courage dared fo investigate the matter. Even his knees popped like clap-hoards when the sheep moved leisurely along in front of him. 11 r lllli'iiimi la (irtel Mr. Iiileman started out saying nothing as to his vote for United States Senator if elected to the House.
