Mr. Caldwell opened th discussion in a speech of one hour. He said he had belonged to the People's party for five years and stood by every plank in the platform, although since leaving the Democratic party he had been grossly persecuted by members, of the bar and the. Democratic papers that Mr. Klutz, his opponent, was one of the few lawyers who had treated him like a gentleman. Mr. Caldwell ; showed the inconsis tency of the Democrats for condemn ing the Republican administration for issuing bonds to carry on the war. when Cleveland's administration was forced to issue j 1202,000,000 worth of bonds in time of peace and selling them to the (money power 'between suns" at an increased profit to some one very near the Cleveland adminis tration. v Mr. Caldwell said the Popu lists had offered to join hands with the Democrats for free silver bat the Democrats were insincere and did net want free silver and completely ig nored the Populist proposition down at Raleigh by sniffing np their nose at it like it smelt bad, and soma of them even went so far as to say that they ecrats was that they thought he ruadt about as big a burst as their man Wil liams did when he . spoke here. Old Catawba will do her duty for Mr. Caldwell when the time comes ehe can be relied upon. Mr. Klutz opened his speech In n calm way and ioke on national is sues, but could not to save his life tell what the Democratic Iarty stands for nationally. He then came to stata issues and tried to apologise to the Populists for the snubbing the Demo crats gave them by kicking them out the back door at Raleigh. He tried to rhow up the corruption of the Stato administratiah but failed in every in ptance. He alo tried to how up th eajt and read letters from Rev. J. II. Page and Rev.'A. W.
