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.
