Some Impressions of the Great City and Columbia University. Correspondence Telegram. New York City, Oct. 3. 1898. According to promise I will give you a few impressions of New York City life. Mr. George W. Wilson, of Le noir, N. C.', is with me. We arrived here last Tuesday noon, and have had but little to do in the University (Co lumbia) as yet. We both have been here twice and knew something about the great city from the standpoint of travellers. This time we have taken rooms in the centre of the University community and hope to know the city and its varied life from the standpoint of residents. The greatest thing in the whole city is Columbia University. With today it begins its 145th year. Its new loca tion in Morningside Park is superb. Just on the south - is the great St. Luke's hospital; on the north, Teach er's College; on the west, Barnard College and the Hudson river; on the northwest the imposing yet beautiful tomb of Grant. In the center of the university grounds stands the million dollar library, given by Presideit Seth Low. However, it has been in the city rather than in the university that we have spent most of our time so far. The more one sees of New York the greater it becomes; and the greatest contrast between the very rich and very poor is more evident each day. The multi-millionaire and the lowest pauper are seen side by side throughout this great metropolis. The great sensa tions of the past week have been the nominations of Theodore Roosevelt ( republican ) and Justice Augustus C. Van Wyck ( democrat ) for the govern orship of New York state. The news papers in many cases are with Van Wyck. By the way, the North Caro lina pjople should take a good deal of interest in him. Hon J. J. Osborne, assistant district attorney of New York, who married his daughter, is a North Carolinian: and it is stated by the papers here ( I do not know how true it is ) that Justice Van Wyck is a graduate of the University of North Carolina. We had the first opportunity of tak ing in the battleships Saturday. We sailed alongside of the Iowa from Brooklyn to Thompkinsvllle. We found the Oregon, Brooklyn and Vix en anchored off Thompkinsville. The Iowa and Oregon started on their long voyage to Manila Saturday afternoon. It will take them till February, 1399, before they reach that faraway post. It was sad to see them preparing to leave the Atlantic ocean, the scene of their recent and glorious victory. New York and every American bids them a bon voyage. C. R. At the Academy of Music. The Lilian Tucker Company,, opened a week's stand at the Academy of Music last evening before the larget audience that ever assembled in the building to witness a reportoire per formance. Every seat was filled, fifty extra chairs in the aisles were occu pied, and nearly a hundred people stood. The performance of the play, "The Buckeye," was very clever, but even more to the audience's liking were the varied specialties introduced. These included little Theodore, a captivating little midget,' in character songs ; the Sisters Millar, banjo and duet sing ing ; Eunice Goodrich, in serpentine dance, and the animated picture ma chine, the "Wargraph." Especially good was the serpentine dancing, in which electrical effects contributed to tfje terpsichorean talents of the fair dancer. Danville Register, Oct. 4. The Lilian Tucker Company open at the Academy of Music here next Mon day night, for a week reportory, in the laughable comedy, "The Buckeye," interspersed with attractive specialties. One lady admitted free Monday night with each 30-cent ticket. Seats on sale Friday mo-ning at -Gardner's Drug Store. Normal Opens Tomorrow. The State Normal and Industrial College opens tomorrow October 6th. A large number of girls came in last night from the western part of the state and today they have been coming in on all trains from-every direction. About forty came in on the noon trains and many more are expected tonight. Everything points to a fine opening and President Mclver expects the lar gest enrollment in the history of the college. He says he needs more room badly and will be crowded but none will be turned away on this account as board will be secured for them in some of the best homes in the city.

B, Glenn at Court House Last Nig t. A. L BROOKS AT FINISHING MILL. Strong Presentation of the Cause of Good Government Large and Enthusiastic Crowds. Last night long before the hour for the 8 peaking at the court house a large crowd had gathered around the square. The High Point band played several lively airs at the corner of Market and Elm streets, and about 7:45 marched out to the finishing mill, followed by a good crowd to hear Hon. A. L. Brooks, democratic candidate for so licitor. Before eight o'clock the court house was packed, a goodly number of ladies being present. Bob Glenn had no reputation to make, but one to sus tain. He knew the people and they knew him. He fully sustained his rep utation and his most enthusiastic ad mirers were well pleased with his able effort. THE SPEECH. Promptly at eight o'clock, Hon A. M. Scales, chairman of Guilford county democratic executive commit tee, briefly introduced Mr. Glenn. In the outset the upeaker said he wanted to be perfectly fair to every man. He wanted every man to be perfectly fair and honest with himself and to vote his convictions. If he believes the republican party can give the best government, then Vote for that party. If the populist, then vote with them. If the democratic, then vote that ticket. Take the records of all parties and let them speak. Look at every side of it. Under which government have the peo ple been happy and contented? Which has been the cleanest? Which has cost the least money ? Every good business man wants the most he can get for the least money. Mr. Glenn said he was not asking for negro votes they are solid. One hundred and twenty thousand negroes are already 'counted as having voted the repoplican ticket. They are true to their color. Can white men afford not to be equally true to theirs? RECONSTRUCTION DAYS. He then took up the days of recon struction under republican rule and portrayed the darkness, the hideous ness, the sorrow and the anguish of those days in convincing and convict ing terms. While on this- the great speaker warmed up to his work and every fibre of his massive frame quiv ered in response to the earnestness of his soul as he dictated the fearful and damning bill of indictment against the republican party for the horrors of reconstruction and the pitiable spec tacle of an "exhausted judiciary." Then as the powerful speaker turned from the wretchedness and shame of those dayB and ushered in the glo rious triumph of democracy and the administration of Zeb Vance, the elec tric button was touched and the court house fairly shook with a mighty burst of applause in which the thunderous voice of the speaker was no more than the chirp of a sparrow in a cyclone, and he was compelled to stop until the cheering was over. The people were touched and stirred to the bottom of their hearts. DEMOCRATIC RULE. Mr. Glenn then gave a hurried re view of the good results of democratic rule, the asylums and school honses built for white and black, teachers em ployed, and while this was being done, the taxes reduced from 80 cents on the hundred dollar valuation to below 40, then below 30, then down. to 23. This brings us to the triumph of the fusion crowd at the polls, and what another picture of shame and degradation is presented ! STEALING! PLATFORMS . The speaker briefly recited the cause of the populists' leaving the democrat ic party and told why they should come back now. You say we stole your platform. Then, if it is a good thing, come and get on it with us and don't commit the unpardonable sin of trying to steal the republican platform. Of course, if you want it and do steal it you can't be indicted for it, for any lawyer will tell you that to be indicted for theft you must steal something of value. FUSION RULE. He then referred to the fusion legis latures and told of the increased ex penses under fusion rule. Here he made a proposition to any man of any political creed that if he doubted any charge that he (Glenn) should make that he would pay his way to Raleigh or anywhere else necessary to prove it and if it were not exactly as repre sented he would come home and vote the republican ticket if the man ac cepting ' the proposition would be equally fair and' vote the democratic ticket if he found the charges sus tained. ( No takers. ) The three first years of fusion rule in the state cost the taxpayers the enormous sum of $386,750 more than the last three years, of democratic rule. He then referred to the iniqui tous tax collecting law and the assign ment law passed by the fusionists, in which the supreme court had to come to the relief to save the precious leg islature. Upwards of sixty acts of that crowd have been declared uncon stitutional. Another damnable blot on the name of North Carolina is the fact that the fusion legislature didn't have time to adjourn in honor of the birthdays of the illustrious George Washington and the glorious Robert E. Lee; but that they did have time, to adjourn as a mark of respect to Fred Douglas, the notorious neffro politician and advocate of social equality and inter marriage between the races! Referring to, Cy Thompson's slander of Col. Saunders and Oct. Coke, now dead, the 'speaker was most severe. The Kirby Smitfifcnd Jim Young "in cidents" were handled with righteous indignation. CLOSING APPEAL. Then, in closing he spoke of the con ditions in the east, and hi&&ppeal was most earnest and touching. Noticing a few republicans smiling, in thunder tones the speaker exclaimed : "You may smile, but not a mother's son of you has got the bravery to accept my proposition to go down east and take a look at things for yourselves." Mr. Glenn related an incident of an aged man on his deathbed recently in a fusion ridden county and told how the old man clasped his hands and prayed earnestly to God to spare him to vote for his country and humanity the coming election. When the speaker told this a brother of the republican state chairman, who was sitting on the floor inside the bar, laughed as if in derision of the old man's plea 1 Mr. Glenn spoke for nearly two hours. Hon. Thomas Settle was heard to say that he went out expecting to hear the ablest presentation of that side and he heard it. The speaking accomplished much good. MR. BROOKS SPOKE. We learn Mr. Brooks had a good crowd at the Finishing Mill and as usual made a most eloquent, able and convincing speech. We are sorry we failed to get a synopsis of it for pub lication; but we shall have another op portunity of hearing and writing of our gallant and popular standard bearer for solicitor. .THE NEWSPAPERS LIE.
