SOME REASONS WHY. There are many reasons why Lin coln county shonld be put under Democratic rule and kept there. Here are some, study them : 1. The county paupers cost neaf Jy $10 a head under Republican rule. They cost lees than $1 nowv and are fetter kept. 2. The Republican county com- thoroucii presentation V? TIIE sil ver question. The Democratic candidate for Governor spoke here Monday to a court house full of peopla, and. for two hours and over held tne crowd in the closest attention. Ho pre sented Bryan and free silver with great force. . The crowd ra with him from the beginning. Dr. brouse, in his pleasant manuer.io troduced the speaker at a quaiter past twelve o'clock. Many ladies were in the audience and paid the closest attention to the speaker's able presentation of - the great is sues, af tne dav. WatsQn .began his speech by saying that be did not seek the nomination; that he accepted the nomination from a sense of duty: that his great object was to pro mote the election of Bryan and the cause he represents. The speaker then forcibly pie sented the duty of public officers to carry out the instructions of the people; that without such obedi ence tg the mandates of the people, no1 self-government was possible. Politics thus became a great ques- viewed, and it was forcibly shown that our legislation his not benn favorable to silver cud the masses. One of the most forcible argu ments the speaker made was in his discussion of the point whether tree silver coinage could bo -maintained, lie showed that when the bill ot 1S90 was reported with a proviso that the mints were to be any assertion he did uot firmly bo opened to free coinaco as soon as jlieve to be true, and bow bo iu- the price of silver went to f 1.29 per Uendrd to be just as gcod a mm ounce, how silver rose from 92 cts I when the campaign closed at h& thought that thn Cltnl of lieavan was directing him and that if Le was U bo Governor of North Caro lina ho uoull li elected, that all was iu the Inndi of the Ruler ol all thiog5. i "The speaker gained much ap plause when he related how be in tended to say no word nor male missioners formerly spent $600-. a year for legal advice. rfhe present tion of principle. The speaker here board spends $100. 3. The Republicans, when in ol fice, charged exorbitant fees, and and .dealt in county paper at a great profit by representing the county almost bankrupt, and,when in possession of the paper, they collected its face value. The Dem- alluded to the words of Dr. Crouse'e mtrodnction,comparing him to the bite lamented Senator Vance, and said thftt if everybody would obey the dying injunction of that great est of North Carolinians, eRpubli cans. Democrats and Populists would this year be voting together ocrats changed all this. They j for Vm. J. Bryan and the free sil made such work impossible. 4. For years no charges of im proper conduct have been lodged against any Democratic officer of this county. Can the same besaid now? 5. Will you, men of Lincoln, turn down the present. Democratic tick et, which, according to the Lincoln Patriot, is composed of good men? Will you defeat ' them, and take men who are not as competent,who have sold their principles for of- lice? - Will you do it? We cannot think you will. Candidate Bryan uttered the following at Chicago, Monday : "There are two things to be con sidered in government. The first is that in the enactment of legisla tion you shall be careful to give no advantage to one person over an other, if that advantage can be prevented. In other words it is the duly ot government to, avoid acts of affirmative injustice ; but . that is only part of the business of government. Jefferson has stated the other halt of it. He says that government must restrain men from injuring one another. That is on of the important duties of government, to restrain men from injuring one another aud the gov ernment that fails to restrain the strongest arm that can be lifted from injuring t.he weakest citizen i low prices ver cause. The speaker said he bad to dis cuss national issues, but that he wanted to say that everybody knew that the Democratic party in North Carolina stood for the safety and well-being of every madwom an and child in the State, and that if the peoplo put the Democratic party in charge of the State this fall, no man iteed fear that the State was not safe. The Speaker then proceeded to discuss the condition of the work ing people in this country, saying that tor 30 years we have enjoyed profound peace, abundant harvests, but that now our mills are running on halt time and trade is depressed and farms and farm products low er in price than ever before. All this could and must be remedied by suitable legislation. The Re publicans and gold men say the cause of our ills is over-production. The speaker made the point here that the world consumes one pound of flour per week per head now, while he, the speaker, used to get a ration of one and a quarter pounds per day while in the army. Many illustrations like this the speaker gave to show that over-production was not the great reason for the of everything. This in all the land is; a government Dart of the sneaker's argument was wiuoii jans to uo lis wnoie amy. Tli ere ks.fi ne sense in the aVove There is; hardly any anarchy in that statement of JetTerson either. t Why dd the Republicans put olf their County convention? Why did they not have it Monday, as it was called? Whv. if tne date was charged, did not Chair. Mullen an rioutfCe the change ? That it would have interfered with a Democrat ic speaking, is lo excuse. When very forcible, and was listened to with great interest. The speaker also made the point- that he de Dressed condition of business tend ed to poverty and ruin, and a low state of civilizationand cited Chi na as an example. He also showed that the Russian peasants, no bet ter than slaves, handle only 49 cents per capita during the whole year. The speaker then discussed the silver did Republicans get so considerate? uTymunt UAauuu Ul "Iver 1U ne united Mates and otner countries Was there any object in' postpon ing the convention as advertised? -May be the bosses thought they could keep some people away,some negrs who are getting rescless,by changing dates ! How is this? The JCews jind Observer's report of Watsln's speech here contains the following : i I am told by men from everv section of Lincoln county that the cans0 , of Democracy is gaining ground everyday, and that instead ofXgiving a majority of 300, as it gave for Mr. Jack Reinhardt, the Democratic legislative candidate in 1894, it will give him this year nearer 400 inajorityi- and the effect, it, had on farm pro ducts, and cited the Euglish peo ple as an example, illustrating the decline in farm products in that country since 1816, when England first demonetized silver, and showed that we were fast drifting toward the conditions prevailing in England and other countries on the continent. The speaker here took up the conspiracy the money power has formed to make dollars dearer and money more valuably illustrating per ounce to $1.21, and how, when Sherman and his committee, see ing that free coinage was coming under the provisions of the bill, struck the provision from the act of 1$90, and the free coinage of silver was killed for the time be ing. The speaker then cited many facts to show' why the United Stales alone could maintain the free coinage of silver, saying that we produce one-third of the silver bullion of the world, and that all the countries beyond the sea get our 6ilver at a reduced price aud use it at 100 cenls on the dollar in trading with their dependencies. The speaker maintained that Eng land used it in its coinage so as to best down the prices of farm prod ucts here in this country, prevent ing us trom exporting our wheat and other products to England ex- cept in competition with ludian and Argentine farm products. The speaker laughed at the gold argument that value could not be legislated into silver bullion, by saying that the cost of producing an ounce of gold was 111, while the mint value at the Bank of England and everywhere was $18.80 per ounce. The speaker asked where gold would be in price if its value was not fixed in this way? Sanerbech's Tables were cited as showing that the decline in silver has been attended with a corres ponding decline in farm products. The speaker then discussed how Mark Hauna expected to vote pec pie by means of money, voting them into deeper ruin, havinc brought them into their, present condition by the very legislation he was interested m maintaining. He pictured Hauna, tho standard Oil king, the coal baron, forcing up the price of coal, and the stock gamblers playing dice with the devil seven days in the week, and winning two games out of three, on one side, and asked whether there was an honest man in bis hearing who wanted to be on that side. The speaker was hard on the In dianapolis bolters, saying they had attended Democratic conventions in tho past, and as long as they controlled the party policy they stayed in the party, but soon as they could not do it, they left it forever. The speaker then in eloquent language described Hanna's cam paign for McKinley's nomination, and showed how McKinlev had placed himself wholly under the control of this representative cf ill gotten wealth. He declared that if such proceedings had occurred in any party prior to the war, that party would have met death at ihe hands of the people, as tho Repub lican party now deserves to nisei it. The speaker, m his inimitable style described Pritcbard's change from silver to gold, and his self- confident and arrogant attitude iu his Statesville speech,where he said the Republicans could carry North Carolina without Populist, aid. The speaker aptly illustrated his point by the fable oi the tox and the goat. He then took up his argument showing Potulist9 why they should not let the love of office hinder them from voting for principle and Bryan ; how they should not go gunning for their their friends,but was wheu it began. The cpeeca was wll received, and was a magnificent effort. r Insist upon Hood's sarsapanlla when you need a medicine to puri fy your blood, strengthen your nerves and give you an appetuo. I There can be nn snbstituty for Uood't. From Lincoln Cotton Mills. The much needed rain came last Thursday, Friday and Saturday aud the larmers are now busy pre paring land for wheat and oats. The farmers are done making fodder, aud cotton pickiug is pro gressing nicelv. The farmers re port about a half crop ot cotton in this section, and corn is cut short by the dry weather. Rev. Mr. Womble closed a pro-tract-d meeting nt risgah last night. They report about twenty conversions, and eight or nico were added to the church.

"Or'e ccrxt a clce." At c'nijcist?. The demonetization of silver,said the speaker, was never demanded by anybody. No man in the audi ence could remember ever to have demanded that his Congressman vote for the changing of the unit ot value from silver to gold, which was done in 1873. The dropping of the sliver dollar from the coin age, the speaker contended, and the limiting of its lgal tender powen made all -coin obligations practi cally payable in gold. -The whole history of silver legislation was re- his remarks bv citin5 the actions !0ot althe at the enem of the holders of the debt .incurred feaker Bald he had Allowed in the conduct of the Franco-Prus- 1116 we immoriai i.ee, but never did. shoulder his gun in a lazy, "squirrel-tote" manner and go shooting people in the ranks be hind him.
