THE PUBLIC LEDGER. CAMPAIGN IN THE FIFTH. GUS GRAHAM WINNING MANY LAURELS IN CANVASS. Maryann Shows his Hand and Have Dr. Herritt and Bynum nominated- Graham's Big Speech at Hillsboro. The Hillsboro Observer says the candidates for Congress spoke at Hillsboro on Monday, October 1st, and the opening speech was made by Thos. Settle. He proceeded in a la bored attempt to show that the Re publican party was friendly to the free coinage of silver, and that m voting in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law he was carrying out that doctrine, and was then and now in favor of coining the American product of silver. His principal at tack was on the failure, as he alledg ed, of the Democratic party to carry out the pledges in the Chicago plat form, but he admitted the repeal of the Federal Election laws, and of the Sherman law requiring the purchase of the $54,000,000 worth of silver bul lion every year, to be piled up in the Treasury; and also that a tariff bill had been passed which was not m all respects such as Mr. Cleveland liked and admitted that he had voted against this bill, and claimed he did so because the tax was increased on whiskey. He then tried to show that his absence or failmes to respond to roll call were on account of agree ment of. the Republicans to fillibuster and ill-event legislation by refusing to answer to their names when called, and thus prevent a quorum and com pel the Democrats to keep enough of their own members present to do the voting necessary to pass such meas ures as were brought forward; and that being in a minority he often failed to answer until the amendment of the rules allowing those present who did vote to be counted in mak iug a quorum, He next proceeded to advocate a fusion of Pops and Re publicans to secure purity of elec tion, and condemned the present election laws of North Carolina be cause the County Commissioners ap pointed the Registrars and Judges of Election. At the conclusion of his address by a preconcerted signal, as it seemed, a large part of the negroes and some of the white Republicans proceeded to leave the Court House and were very noisy in so doing. Such con duct shows the bad leadership now controlling them; and to the credit of many of them present, both white and colored, we know that such con duct is not approved as they have too much respect for themselves and too much sense to think that courtesy and the good feeling which should prevail between the races will allow any such breach of decorum to go unrebuked by decent Third party people or Democrats. GREETING WITH GREAT APPLAUSE. Mr. A, W. Graham on rising was received by a hearty ovation from his old fiiends and neighbors, and stated that he regretted to see that some of the colored people had lost their good manners, and he would allow a short time for those to retire who did not wish to listen to a legit imate discussion of the issues of the day. Mr. Settle requested that all disor der should cease, and all who could do so would remain through the dis cussion, Mr. Graham then proceeded with his speech, and stated that one who was so free in his accusations of un faithfulness to their pledges on the part of the Democratic party should be prepared to give an account of his stewardship, and show that he had cast some vote for measures ben eficial to the people of the District, and had at least been active in pre venting legislation which he deemed to be hurtful, but the Journal of the House would show that 308 calls of the roll had been made on different bills and resolutions, and Mr. Settle had failed to respond 250 of the 308 times, and had only voted 52 times at an average of $144 for each vote. Were the services of the pres ent member worth this to the people of this District? He comes before you seeking a reelection and your en dorsement. Can you say well done good and faithful servant ? and again entrust him .vith duties which he has failed to discharge. Again Mr. Set tle claimed that soon after the elec tion of 1892, when the result showed that the Democrats would come into power factories had stopped, busi ness had been paralyzed, panic had spiead over the country, strikes had taken place, and hard times had been the cry. Certainly this was not due to any Democratic legislation, as the Congress did not meet until the 8th of August, 1803, called in extra session by Mr. Cleveland to undo the vicious and unwise legisla tion of the Republican party, in forc ing the Sherman law upon the coun try. Tiiis had been accomplished, and while he regretted that it had not V een accompanied by some leg islation securing the better circula lation of silver, as a part of the cur rency of the country, it had taken off a great burden, and in some de gree tended to allay the panic which had been increased, if not fomented, m the interest of a single gold stand ard, and was the final result of thirty years of Republican rule in this country in the interest of monopo lies and protected manufacturers, leaving the Treasury almost empty and stagnation in the avenues of trade, because the people were un able longer to pay the heavy tribute exacted from them to enrich the pro tected favorites, and campaign con tributors who had purchased the right to write their own schedules in the McKindley tariff of 1890. The Democratic party had then proceed ed to repeal every vestige of Federal Election Laws, whieh enabled Re publican marshals and supervisors and their horde of subordinates to arrest men without warrant to over awe the judges of elections and help to keep the Republican party in power. The Democrats intended to see that there was a free ballot and fair count, but no longer woold Fed eral satraps be permitted to control elections. That the Democratic partv had then proceeded to repeal the MeKinley tariff law, and while it was true that Mr. Cleveland had not sign ed the present tariff act his opposi tion to it and that of Mr. Mills and others was on the ground that it did not go far enough in giving free raw materials, and was too favorable still to some of the protected interests. Mr. Settle and his party opposed it because it provided for any reduction at all, and caused the manufacturers to lessen the heavy exactions which for years they had made upon the farmers and raisers of the products of the country. That this law made an average reduction of nearly 30 per cent, in many articles und placed upon the free list the farming ma chinery and tools required for agri culture. That the price of woolen clothing would be much reduced, and when the colored people had ap plauded Mr, Settle when he said that he was in favor of protection they did not understand it was a protec tion to the men who made their im plements, and had kept up the high prices upon them, and caused them to pay at least a third more than they would have to do hereafter for their hats, their coats, their woolen shirts, and every kind of wearing apparel. That there had been some reduction already, but there would be more after January next when the woolen schedule takes effect. That this law also in addition to lessing the bur den of the working man put an in come tax of $3 on $100 upon those who had income of $4,000 and over, and thus compelled those who were blessed with affluence, and many of whom had laid the foundation of their wealth upon the dire necessities of their country to contribute somes what of their surplus wealth to pay the heavy pensions awarded to those who had served their country in the field when many of those now com plaining had sent their substitutes, and did not expose their owu persons to the dangers of the contest. What idle talk about the Democratic party not fulfilling their promises, when no more benifieent legislation had been enacted since the Walker tariff of 184G. Then we had the dire prophecies of Mr. Webster and oth ers, that destruction of industries would follow, but the sun of pros perity had blessed the land, so much indeed, that in 1857 there was no op position of any consequence to a fur ther reduction. The act has not fully gone into effect, but even now we feel its benign influence, and hope and confidence are dispelling the gloom and apprehension of the timid who feared a change of policy. The Third party could see many of their theories put into actu al operation, and will they now assist to return to Congress one who had followed his party in opposition to all these blessed changes in f ayor of the working man and laborer, and who wonld continue the MeKinley act, and return to the protected in terests of the North the right to im pose exactions limited only by their own greed and their insatiable cry of "give, give." The conntry is at last aroused, and MeKinley and his theo ries will have to go the rear. While there has not been a settlement of matters of banking and currency in the short time elapsed, when has so much been accomplished ? We have every reason to hope that a practical and wise solution of all these matters will be made in the next session. Mr. Settle says that they have not given your State banks the right to issue notes. Why did he not vote for it ? By a combination of his party, with Populists and some Democrats it was defeated. Can he with any grace complain a measure was not passed which he helped to defeat? The treasury notes of the United States haye been made subject to taxation. Did he vote for it? He complains that the tax on whiskey has been raised from 90 cents to $1.10 per gal lon. What compelled this, except the squandering of the surplus left in the Treasury by Mr. Cleveland when he retired in March 1890, and the failure of the MeKinley law to raise sufficient revenue for the year ending July 1st, 1894. The expendi tures exceeded the receipts by $70, 000,000, even after the sale of $50, 000,000 of bonds to replenish the gold in the Treasury. Something had to be done and while I regret that this increase was made, when you complain remember that Repub lican extravagance and failure to provide proper revenue from other sources, made this necessary. And now I ask the men of ths Third Par ty, will you under this cry of purity of elections help to return him to Congress to dodge important votes, or to vote against your interests? But what a pretence that the Repub lican party favors purity of elections! In 18G7 when they first allowed you to vote under Reconstruction were not the ballots sent to Charleston to be counted by military satraps? when Tilden was elected President in 187C was he allowed' to take his seat? When my opponent succeeded in defeating Robt. Glenn for Solici tor and was born into political life, was it not accomplished by having his name printed on the Democratic Judicial ticket and being at the bot tom it escaped the detection of the unwary who would not have voted for him if they had known his name was on the ticket? I do not favor the sale of votes in "blocks of five" or 500, and if elections are to be pure will it be accomplished by following the actions of my competitor, who "for ways that are dark, and tricks that are vain" is very peculiar. The above is a mere outline of Mr. Graham's remarks, and at the end of his speech there was a return of the Republican coharts who had gone out, to again cheer for Settle. His short rejoinder was of course ap plauded by them, and he ended by a comparison of the claim of the Dem ocrats that they had fulfilled their promises, and asking again to be put into power, to the temptation of our Savior by the devil, and asked his Republican friends to give the reply "Get thee behind me Satan." which of course was vociferously ap plauded by those who could not see its inappropriateness, and again re tired for spiritual refreshment. Mr. Graham in the 15 minutes al lowed clinched the points he made and promised in the discharge of the duties to which he expected to be called, to display the same fidelity to public interests that he had shown in the trusts which had been com mitted to him in his profession, and wo and up the discussion to the sat isfaction of his friends, and with the assurance that in Old Orange, where he is known and loved, an in crease in the Democratic vote, and that he would receive the cordial support of those who had honored him in the past and would trust him in the future. "After the ball is oyer, After the vote is cast, After the speaking's ended, After November has passed, Many a Republican heart will be aching, Could you but read them all, Many a hope will have vanished After the political ball." THE TRADE IN THE FIFTH. Raleigh News & Observer: When the leaders of the Republican and Populist parties made their trade which they call "co-operation" it was part of the agreement that the Populists in the fifth district would not nominate a candidate for Con gress but would support Tom Settle, the Republican candidate. The agreement was. kept until Graham and Settle had met at a number of appointments. It then became ap parent to Settle who communicated the fact to Butler, that if there was no Populist candidate in the field the Populists would nearly all vote for Graham. At this juncture, Settle told Butler that the best way to se cure his election was to nominate a Populist candidate. As Butler had promised to do what would contrib ute most to Settles election, he im mediately sent word out that the Populists must nominate a candi date. The Populists nominees will be voted for by all Populists who have some convictions, but the fel lows who are in the "deal" for spoils will vote for Settle on the sly. The Democrats in, the fifth have two crafty and foxy enemies to deal with, and this supplemented by the money which the National Republi can Executive Committee is sending out into the district is going to put the Democrats to their best to elect Gus Graham. But they are not go ing to elect him except by the most thorough organization. This is be ing effected rapidly and the news is full of cheer. Graham's canvass is a vote getting canvass. Settle speaks well and sometimes brilliant ly. But he does not measure up to Graham as a yote getter and a win ning speaker. THE FUSION OF THE RINGSTERS IS PERFECT. At one and the same time the Pop ulists "nominated" Dr. Merrttt for Congress, and "endorsed" W. B. By num, Jr., the Republican candidate for Solicitor, in the Fifth District. The original programme was to en dorse Settle, but the Pop and Rep. ringsters said that this would not work, and so Dr. Merritt is put up as a blind. There is no better Solic itor in the State than Capt. E. S. Parker, the Democratic nominee. As a judicial officer he knows no politics. He is able, fair and just. If the cry for a "non-partizan" ju diciary were honest, the Pops, would haye supported Capt. Parker, but the "deal" required an endorsement of Bynum and it was done. Is fur ther proof needed to show that the Democrats have but one opponent this year? The fusion is complete so far as the ringsters can make it, but there are hundreds of honest farmers who have enough self re spect left to assert their indepen dance, and there are also many Re publicans who will rebel at being put on the block and sold by Settle and Loge Harris. The fusion of the ringsters is per fect" November will show that the fusion did not include the rank and file of either party. COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
