Freedom of the press is one of the boasted characteristics of the American people; but when the Third party leaders discourage the reading of pny bat the so-called reform papers, the freedom of the press is no longer a means for their enlighten ment. Freedom of speech is one of the grand elements of the Inestimable birth-right of American freemen; but when Third party leaders advise the people not to go to democratic speak legs to hear all sides of public ques tions, .hey throttle the freedom of speech and thus betray one ot the most sacred trusts vouchsafed to them by the blood of their forefathers It woold seem that "reform" - can didates who are so much interested in the questions of the day ought to be glad to hear all sides of all ques tions; but though Mr. Henry spoke three hours and a half in Scotland Neck last Tuesday, Mr. J. A. White, Third party candidate for the legis lature, did not go near the speaking, notwithstanding he was in town and had ample opportunity to do so. Mr. C. P. 8immon9, a Third party leader in this township, is reported by good authority as saying in Scotland "N" - ? . L 3 .1 A 1 . jeca. yeoieruay i:iat ue nau no choice for President as betweeD ilarrison and Cleveland, and that he considered the laboring man who votes for Clevelaud a fool. Now The Democrat would like to know which man stultifies him self, the man who votes for Wearer, the abuser of Southern women and the vile hater of the South, or the man who votes for Cleveland who said that he had the American farm er in his mind all the time he wss writing his great tarilf message in 1887 which defeated him in 1888. If either is a fool, which Is the bigger?

HON. WALTER R. HENRY, A GREAT SPEECH. Last Tneeday was a bright day r CJ 1 r "p. k for the Democracy oi oi;wu and the surrounding community. It had been announced that Hon ... 3 ,...! W. R . Henry, ol nennersuu , -uu epeak and the crowd gathered at 11 o'clock to ber this talented orator and distinguished campaigner, whose reputation had preceded him. The crowd numbered from three to four hoDdred and at the hour oppuinted Capt. W. II. Smith addressed them for a few minutes, and h. E. Hilliard introduced Mr. Henry. Seldom does one in a political can- vass epeaK unaer mora jyuiuic circumstances, barring the strong breeze, than did Mr. Henry on this occasion, uis auaieace wo vuwyji- el of the business men of the town and the farmers of the community to gether with quite a number of ladies. The audience was Intelligent and heartily responsive from the Qrst and the speaker was in his happiest strain. It would be futile lo attempt a re port of the speed; for a faithful re iort of it would Gil three such sheets as this paper. Mr Henry spoke three hours and thirty-five minutes without a moment's interruption or a word of hesitation from the first to the last. The speech was pronounced by all who heard it, without a single excep tion, the greatest Bpeech to which they had eyer listened. the speaker's commanding phys ique and handsome appearance claimed attention from the first, and the entire audience hung upon his words with breathless silence, save the frequent and hearty applause, to the close of his speech, The corruption aod maladminis tration of the Republican party since the war were pictured in their true colors; and the heavy burdens which that party has heaped upon the people, and the grinding oppression which has been nvited upon them were so graphically described and so faithfully and accurately enumerated that the audience almost felt the weight of these burdens from the effects of the speaker's burning eloquence. "WHAT AIL9 THE SOUTH V At the proper time Mr. Henry an nounced this as the theme for his address. He proceeded to dlscusB the causes of depression in the South; and the first he mentioned was fulse 8y steel of agriculture. He then showed that, by reason of the iniquitous legislation of the Reput lican party, the monev of the country has all gone North into the pockets of the cspitalists and the manu i&ciurera ana uas leit me south in poverty. The tariff waa discussed with peculiar clearness and great power, and an object lesson was given by means of a drawing which showed the enormous tax that the people have to pay on all tbeir necessaries from the craddle to the grave. He charged the Republican party with it all and substantiated Lis charge by proofs from the record of that party. The speaker then showed the iniquity of the pension frauds by which millions of the people's money are annually taken from the public t'eausry to pay the demands of the system . The force bill was ably ard elo quently discussed, and the logic which the speaker employed in prov ing that lb. 6 infamous legislation will he the rtt si he ire. of the Republican party at their first opportunity, wps so 6trong and convincing that no one dare dispute his conclusions. The speaker reviewed the platform of the Democratic and Republican parties and proved beyond the pos sibiiity of doubt or contradiction that the Republicao party is respon- s'.ble for the ills and evils that op uress the people . Mr. Henry then reviewed the platform of the Third party and showed that tuere is ab solutely nothing in it commendable except those parts that are in ac c rd with the platform of the Derr. ocratic party. He showed how nt t-rly impossible it is for the Thiid party to elei t their national ticket, even if ever; one of tnur electors should be elected. He dwelt at length upon Weaver's record, and showed up his atrocities and villain ies practiced upon the people of Tennessee and his denunciations against the people of the South. At av-. ry point he drew the record and challenged nny one to deny his chsrees He proved by tne record tat Weaver is a base slanderer of tbo Southern people and a vile hater of the Sou.o, and asked how can a Southern man vote for him. In con; luslon Mr . Henry paid a high and glowing tribute to Mr. Cleveland aiid called upon the men of the South to stand to his support for he honored the South by his Cat lnet appointments and by his bold admitUtraiion which showed as much favor to the South as to any otter section of the country. The epes-ker pawl a merited com pliment to the ladies for the interest they manifested in the good and wholesome and honest government of the country ar d assored ttiem mat but for their presence he could cot have spoken fo lonz . He thanked tue audience for tbeir patient and reepectfal attention and sat down amid wild and prolonged applaase. He had spoken three hours and thirty five minutes and his last sentence 6eemed a clearly enunciated as his first. It was by all odds the greatest speech the writer has ever heard , and this stateme&t is made without disparage ment to the speeches we have he.rd by some of the ablest and most elo quent orators of the country. A Mr. Henry sat down a stream of people poured into the porch, from which he spoke, to shake bis hand and thank him for his speech. The ladies came to meet and shake hands with the gallant and chivalrous North Carolinian who is doinsr such Herculean work for their protection and defense. After an hour s ret and dit r.er a Urge number of the Democratic Club, whose guest Le waB while here, escorted him to the depot, and as the train moved away the crowd sent up three wild cheers for Hon. WTalter R. Henry, and all turned homeward truer patriots and better democrats. We doubt wheth er a greater speech has ever been made before a North Carolina au dlerce than Mr. Henry made in Scotland Neck last Tuesday. SOLID AND SAFE. A Georgia farmer has formulated a platform which is worth the con aideration and unanimous adoption of every farmer in the land. If every farmer in North Carolina had for mulatcd such a platform ten years ago and bad stood on it flat-footed all the while the Third party in this State would never have been dream-. ed of. Here's his platform, which we hope to 6ee every farmer in North Caro lina adopt : 4 On one corner is my corn crib that is filled to overflowing, and it's always been fall, for I haven' bought a peck of corn since the war On another corner Is mv smoke house, and it's full of meat. On the third corner are my barns and eta bles, my wagona and my buggies On the fourth corner is my home where there's a family altar around which I started family prayer when I first married and I've always kept it up. I've got a Bible on that altar I read in it every day and go to Re hoboth cnurch once a month. Since I've been on this platform I can say I never signed a guauo note in my life, and I haven't signed a note o any sort for ten years, I don't want any relief from the government for I've got a plenty. All the relief I want the field gives me when 1 hoe and plow it.'' TWO SIDES TO THE McKINLEY BILL. Parsons (Kansas) Eclipse. Imitatlou seal sacques , advanced 120 per cent, for the poor.

Testimonials lree STEVENSON AT ROOKY MOUNT. A grand rally. Oo Thursday 22nd. the editor of The Democrat, with about nrtrcn other persons from Scotland Neck, went to Rocky Mount lo hear Hop. A. E. Stevensou, democratic nomin e for Vice-President. We fojed Rocky Mount alive to the interest of the occasion- I wo good brass bands were on the grounds, one from Wilson tnJ one from Nashville. Arrangements bad been made for a grard parade to the fair grounds where the speakiDg was to take place, but a down-pour ot ram in the afternoon prevented, and the people had to crowd into a ware house. Gen. Stevenson's car was to arrive at 4 :25 p. m., and at 3 o clock the crowd assembled to hear Hon. J. Jarvis. Col. D. Worthiogton in troduced Hon.' Cbas. F. War re a of Beaufort county, who in a few well chosen sentences introduced Mr. Jarvle to the audience which must hve numbered three thousand. Mr. Warren'a speech of introdoc'ion for Gov. Javis was beautifu', patriotic, and elicited the heartv applause of the audience. In his first sentence he caught the ear of his audience when be eaid, "The solid South will not be broken this time. Some other time it may be, but the Democratic party stands for white supremacy and for law and order in North Oaroliua." He sDoke of Harrv Skinner as the political orphan of North Carolina. Mr. JarviB arose amid shouts of applause and when the applause had ceased he expressed bis pleasure at being able to join In the reception edven to the next Vice-President of the United States. The epeaker then took up a line of argument for the Democratic party and against tae Rrpublican paity, which argumunt was characterized by the most convincing arrangement of facts Fut together go logically that itseemed, and was, absolutely un answerable. The vast audience listen ed with close attention for an hour and the responsiveness of the audi-' ence cheered the speaker to his best efforts, and all pronounced it a grand and powerful speech. Every where In North Carolina the people delight to show deference to Hon. T. J. Jarvis and to do him honor, and it( was no less marked on this occasion than at other times and places. OEN. STEVENSON. The chief attraction of the occasion was Hon. A. E. Stevenson. At 4:25 his car arrived and he was escorted into the hall and to the rostrum by Hoi. Donnell Gilliam anil others. As Gen. Stevenson eatered the hall there arose a deafening shout of welcome which was repeated for every 6econd until he reached the rostrum and continued for some ime. To the warm welcome Gen. Stevenson repeatedly bowed ac knowledgment as he passed through the crowd. When the burst of ap plause died away so that he could be beard, Hon. Donnell Gilliam, chairman of the Democratic Execu tive committee ofjEdgecombe county, arose and in a beautiful, ornate and eulogistic speech welcomed Gen. Stevenson to tbc land of his ances tors and introduced him to the au dience as the next Vice-President of the United States. Gen. Stevenson arose, andduri-y, the applause that greeted him, wo had a 6econd to scan hia features. He is tall, rather handsome, looks all of sixty, a little stooped in the shoul der, is rather bald, has a rather heavy frowniog brow which almost conceals his piercing blue eyes. But when the brow is arched his wnole face lights up wuh the fire of zeal and enthusiasm that come from asoul of earnestness. His genral beariug impresses one with the fact that he is a close thinker, a logical resaoaer and a man of undauntedcharacter. His gesticulation is an occasional wave of toe hard, both hands ex teded in front, which he brings to gether with & swinging gesture and a eharp clap, which gives emphasis to the truth he utters. THE SPEECn Gen. Steveu-"):i's voice vs rather j weak from the effect of his long and continued fepeakiot; iu N;.n U Caro lina from two to focr limes every day. He looked a little tired, and bis first expression to hi au Hence Was a waving gesture to get q net. He expressed hie grateful v.-Lowl-edgmeots for the warm welcome be had received in North .'aroiiun. He said tti nt whatever be the result of the prefeent contest he sLo;id re member vv i t b gratitude u the last hour of his life the weloue accorded him ?- the people o North C rallna. He advocated the election of Grover Cleveland as the weum of the greatest possible yood to the laboring re;, of the nation. He tpoke chiefly of the force bill which he said was inUnded especial ly for the South; and said while some ,a i-;-'uo if Ri :e and rV.or they j.; ;$ cor i i'.,Cy n ili vro tLv B; I uMica i ; r n in I; des.

De .arrouo-:c a n t untu would bt lor iu- usisntf ui ... ..r their ihe?, to force election measures a9 s, Kqat'licat) auuiuis.i nuu miht nisb. Gen. Stevenson showed clearly how this lufamous law would arreit the tl)w of capital from the North to the South. Now northern capital seeks investment in the South where there is peace and prosperity, but with a forco bill m operation It would seek investment elsewhere. He said tbe operation of the force bill would call intn t-ervice more than 300.000 dfputy marnbalf, and that every election would cost the govern. meat over ten millions of dollare. The people might stand the tariff burdens awhile, but they could not afford to be deprived by a force bill of the right cf representation. Dur ing our 10.j years of independence no !ei.il alum found il way to our statute books so deadly interests and the prosperity country. Tbe force bill is aimed to of our our at the South, he said, and it bodes no good to any party. Gen. Stevenson said very little about the Third party. Calling to the Third party men who might be present, he dismissed their cause by saying, ''Your candidate is simply not In it It is a fight between the two old parties, the Democratic and Republican, and the Third party not in it." is He closeu witb a strong appeal to the people of the South to stand to getber for their rights. His speech was short by reason of j his great hoarseness from speaking so much, buc was pointed and pithy, and all through was punctuated by applause from Ids audience- Ile said, upon taking hi9 leave from North Carolina, that ho should carry away with him pleasant recol lections of his treatment at the hands of his fellow-citizens here. He sat down from speaking but was almost lifted from the stand to where the people could shake hands with him. Mr. Gilliam proposed three cheers for Stevenson and the audi ence went wild with an enthusiastic shout and then began to turn away to seek their homes and pot into practice tbe democratic doctrine they had heard. Our 1'ublic JcIiols Are the mam-stay ot our republic, in them are being cnltivtted the minds which are tJ be onr future lawmakers and leaders in evary walk in life How es sential it is that these minds should be united to strong, healthy bodies So many children sfier from impurites and poi?ons in the blood that it is a wonder that they ever grow np to be men and women Many parents cannot find words strong enough to express their ggratitude to Ilood.s SarsapariUa for its good effect upon thir children.
