A, Hicks and General Royster. AVe are glad to say to our readers that good crowds are greeting our county candidates and speakers at the different places over the county. The candidates started the ball roll at Fairport on Wednesday. The candidates were all present and made their announcements to the people. Judge Graham the Demo cratic nominee for the House, made a telling speech which did good for the cause of Democracy. He gave telling blow to Independentism and showed it up in its true light. He also paid his respects to the re cent Dependent Republican Conven- tion which was run in the interest of 'Senator Pritchard. Judge Graham was iollowed by Senator Hicks who made a tine speech, which seemed to be much appreciated and was listened to with much interest. Next day (Thursday ) the candidates appeared at Wilton. Here we met with a warm welcome. There were 125 or more people present and they seemed to be earnest in t heir support of Dem ocracy, Judge Graham and Senator Hicks made excellent speeches. Gen. Royster was called for and responded iu one of his most forceful and con vincing speeches for Democracy, which was loudly applauded and we feel sure it did much good. Mr. W. A. Devin, being present was called i for and responded in a brief but in teresting speech. The eloquent Prof. W. II. P. Jenkins was called on tor a speech and responded briefly. As a speaker and leader in the last Legis lature he reflected credit on himself ami his county. Mr. Bickett, the able campaigner of Louisburg, happened to drive up and was call for and made i short talk. Pie said that old Frank lin would roll up a 1,000 majority for Democracy. On Thursday night the candidates met their appointment at Hester in Dutchville township. We had a good audience aud Judge Graham, Senator Hicks and General uoyster made impressive and con vincing speeches, which were listened to with much interest. Mr. John Alayes, our fine Register of Deeds, we will put in just here and sajr is outstriping the other county candidates in speaking, as he is the veteran of two former campaigns Mr. Joe Good!, the Dependant Re publican candidate for theLegislatu re was present and alter the speakers finished was accorded a hearing. The editor must say that he felt a little sorry for Mr. Gooch, as his opponent, Judge Graham, to use a slang phrase, "wiped the earth up with him. After considerable coaxing from fudge Graham he said he was hearti ly in favor of t he special tax for small pox and bridges and thought it snouiu nave beenjevieuioriueseconu year, but that the economical board 1 -II.. 1 It - j. 1. of County Commissioners did not agree with Mr. Gooch and did not do so. Next Mr. Gooch said he was opposed to Judge Graham because he voted to impeach the Supreme Court Judges. We are sure Judge Graham answered that to the full satisfaction of all those present, as what he said seemed to meet with their approval. The Judge showed that Justices lurches and Douglass had violated the constitution and should therefore, have been, as they were impeached, finally Mr. Gooch said he was a "good Democrat" and would vote for Judge Clark and Hon W. W. Kitchin. Judge Graham next- asked him who he would vote for Senator in case he should be elected. To this Mr. Gooch replied that he would cast his vote for the man whom a majority of the people who voted for him (Gooch) wished him to vote tor. Should you do this, re plied Judge Graham, you would vote for Pritchard, as the Democrats are going to vote for me and the crowd yelled, 'Pritchard of course. Next they came to the bond issue. Julge Graham said that issue on which Mr. Gooch had intended making his cam paign on had been taken from him by the action of the recent Demo era tic convention, as the matter had been submitted to a vote of the peo pie. "If they do not want them is sued, said Judge (Jraham, "l pledge myselt to have the law repealed, as it is mv earnest desire to carry out the wishes of my constituents, and will do it as near as lies in nnr power. Finally Mr. Gooch had to admit that he was after Judge Graham personally, to the disgust of the crowd. In politics Mr. Gooch at present certainly presents the appear ance of a "strange admixture ac cording to his own statement it seems to us he will be bound to vote for Pritchard, if elected. The truth is Mr. Gooch has allowed himself to get wrought up over a small matter and one which is now practically set tled, and is fighting over nothing He owes it to himself and to the par- tv he formerly affiliated with to lay aside his small differences, get out of the race and "bring his clothes back home." Mr. N. H. Fleming was present and told the editor and many others that he would not accept the nonn nation for Senator as he could not canvass or vote ior euaior rriLvu f j i . nrd. Mr. Fleming Is a very intelli gent farmer and a hospitable gentle men and cannot be led into the ie publican party by such a bait, and said he should vote tor the bonus F ri d a v t he c o u n t y ca u d i d a t es a I o n g with Judge (Jraham wereatGrissom where over a hundred voters Had as sembled. This is a Democratic stronghold and greatly enjoyed an hour and a half speech from J ud (Jraham, who made a capital and convincing speech. Saturday afternoon the candidates werewt, Creedmoor and in spite of the rain had between 75 and 100 pres ent, to hear them speak. Dr. J. F Sanderford introduced the speakers. After the county candidates had their "Utile sav" Judge ( Jraham was in trodiiced'and again made a good suppch which wasenthusiastically re- nuiirorf Senator Hicks spoke next and delivered as usual, an all-round good speech, with an occasiona o-ood ioke to illustrate a point. Gen P.. S Jt oyster, who is looking after the bovs closely on the campaign was on hand and made the last speech, which some of the boys said wa a. "regular hummer." The Gen eral Is a fine speaker and goes right down after the enemy, and makes a convincing argument. The excellent speeches at Creedmoor will surely re sult in good to the party on the day of election. That night the Demo cratic host struck Northslde along with the rain where some 80 or 90 voters had assembled to hear the same splendid speakers, who are do ing such a grand work In the cause of Democracy and good government. They certainly made the woods ring with pure Democratic doctrine, which was cheered by the true and tried people of that splendid commu nity, who will take no Dependent Republicanism "in thern." The candidates were at Stem Mon day and were joined by Hon. J it. Young, Insurance Commissioner, who addrsssed the people at that point and made his first speech In his old home county and was a grand defence of Democracy and the splendid ad ministration of Gov. Charles B. Ay cock. There was a good number of the people of that section present and the cause of Democracy scored another victory over the Dependent, lepublicans. The candidates and speakers came o Knap of Reeds on Tuesdav. At this place Mr. Norman Tillev. a most excellent man and sterling Democrat. ntroduced the candidates in a very graceful manner. After the candi dates made their announceinents.the people had the pleasure of listening to a very excellent speech by Hon. J. i oung, ( ommissiouer of Insur- ince, who made an able defense of the Democratic record in the State md exposure of Republican misrule and incompetence in the management oi our State government. We were glad to see the large number of chil dren present who heard the sneak- ng. There were one hundred or more of the bright boys and girls from the excellent school there. This school s a credit to that section. It is con ducted by Miss Twlue, who is ably assisted by Mrs. William Waller. Mr. Young in his speech mentioned the fact that the Democratic party. ed by our noble Governor, was up holding the great cause of education and seeking to educate all the chil dren. Mr. Young was followed by Messrs. Graham and Hicks, who also made good speeches. Speaking of the many improve ments in that section we note with pleasure the splendid new church just completed there of which that whole section should feel proud W e were at ( ulbreth on 1 uesday night. We were cordially received and a large crowd greeted us. Dr. E. B. Meadows in a very happy man ner introduced the candidates. Mr Young made another good speech here which was much appreciated and we believe did much good. Our home speakers also spoke here to the delight of those who heard them. newish to sav in behait oi our people that we are glad to have hail Mr. Young among us. He is a good speaker and a most excellent gentle man. Besides he is a son oi old Gran ville, being born and reared in Ox ford. As Insurance Commissioner of North Carolina he has rendered the State excellent service, having saved it at least $150,000. He is a man of character and real worth and is one of the best politicians among the younger men of the State. Oxford and Granville county are proud of him.

HANCOCK, Sec. Oxford, N. C, Oct. 15, 1002. Let Us Stand Together. It is gratifying to the editor to note that many good men who for a while in the pastatliliated with other parties, now are supporting us and the other Democratic candidates. We have always held that many of the Populists, among whom we have many warm menus, wno umereu from' us, were honest in their opin ions, and we rejoice that many of them since thejr have been convinced that their only hope for good gov ernment is through the Democratic party, are giving us their loyal sup port. And we wish to say just here that we have ever entertained none but the kindest feelings personally for these men ; and while we have al ways spoken" out plainly on political matters wre have done so with mal ice toward none, but only in defense of what we believed was right. In advocating Democracy and opposing other parties we have only aimed to support what we believed and wnat we still believe to be the party oi good government. When we nave spoken piainiy we meant well towards those we were -m a a 1 A 1 . A. - opposing, believing tnat wnat we advocated was best for us anatnem. It has ever been our plan to speak plainly even to our friends, knowing that the criticism of a friend Is bet ter than the kisses of an enemy. The Worst Form.
