There is not another delegation from anv single State which has contribut ed as much of sound reasonable debate and intelligent, even elo quent argument to the records of the session now drawing to a close as has the delegation from North Carolina, The speeches of Eon. E. W. l'ou, Hon. J. H. Small, Hon. C. It. Thomas, the debate on the naval appropria tion bill conducted by Hon. \V. W. Kitchin uud the speeth of lion. Claude Kit-chin on Friday last will be quoted and used during me coming campaign ail over the Tinted States. No greater compliment perhaps, to Hon. Claude Kitchiu s powers as an orator could have been paid than the fact that he lashed two of the strongest of the Republi can leaders into action in an at tempt to defend themselves and their candidate for the Republi can nomination. General Grosvt tior, of Ohio, being the first to rush into the breath while Mr. ?a iS.iL)v<?. -r. tmf< c >?' '? ? ee" gather himself ogether as he had both Mr. Kitchiu and Champ Clark, of Missouri, on his hands .Mr. Kitchin at the close t>f the lowan's speech on Saturday ex pressed his regret that the lead ers of the Republican party had misconstrued his endeavor to defend them against their own candidate, Theodore Roosetelr, and assured them that he was their friend and indeed the only friend in the House who had the courage to endeavor to arouse them from their subjection to the man who had not many years ago characterized them as cham pions of "foul government anil dishonest politics." He made a harmonious semi-sarcastic speech in which he deplored the attacks made upon him by Mr. Grosv. - nor and Mr. Hepburn, and said that they showed the greatest ingratitude, and that he was only trying to i hfeud them from the defamation of their charac ter by Theodore Roosevelt. He aomitreu tnat ne was name to he characterized as a peanut politician whenever he agreed with Mr. (xroeveuor, but that his feeling of admiration for the two distinguished Bepublicans hud led him into defending them, even at the risk of being expelled from the House by executive order of the President. Champ Clark, of Missouri, J. W. Maddox, of Georgia-, Rich ardson, of Tennesse, and John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi, were interested listeners to Air. Kitchin, frequently starting the applause and crowding about him at the close with such ex pressions as "A tine speech, Kitchin;" "That will be hard to answer;" "A rousing speech."? A. W.

"Not a hit?we are on the wrong side of the whiskey question.

South Carolina for Aycock. The recent visit of Governor | Charles B. Ay cock, of North Carolina, to this city, has con firmed our belief that he is the man to be placed ou the ticket with Judge l'arker. There are riot two cleaner or nobler men in this whole republic and burd it will be for atiy one to tlud aught against either.
