The Ex-Senator Hake Oaa of Bis Cnsr aeteristlc Speeches,'- Teeming With Lore for the People Give Him Uie People or Give Kim Death Many Speeches from the Great Leaders af the People la the State Dockery, Sossell. Log Harris, John John Mott and Others Deliver Themselves The Bosiness Proceed inga Transacted by a Select Committee The Thermometer Palls at One Time, but Klses to Blood Beat After a Speech by M. T. Leach. Raleigh, Septe 25. The great Silver L.3emblage met in this city promptly at 10 o'clock this morning with a fair attendance including a host of town people who came from curiosity to see what the conglomeration would do. Among the signers of the Chambers call seated in the rear on the stage were Silver Dollar Chambers, Jones Armi- stead.C. M.Cooke, Beckwitb, Montague, and lien Lacy. Also in tne oacKgrouna were Jarvis, Oliver Dockery, Joseph us Daniels. D. L. Russell, Mai. Guthrie, Senator Butler, John John Mott, Buck Kitchin, Jule Carr, A. C. Green, Jim Young, Hiram Grant, Gov. Carr, Supt. Scarborough, Spier Whitaker, N. B. Broughton, Buck Stroud, Judge McRae, James Smokestack, "Me Too" Dough ton and One Dollar Webster. Tbe body of the hall was fairly filled with all colors and conditions of men, the foreground being occupied by three Croatans, Loge Harris and forty-nine other representatives of Darkest Africa, the whole mass presenting a varie gated spectacle seldom seen even in a Radical pow-wow. The .weather was murky, but the ominous sign ws unheeded. There was no less anxiety than enthusiasm. The general idea was to let everybody mouth it freely, and thereby avoid any unpleasantness. It was a very feeling meeting that is, they were feeling of each other as if suspicious The combination of the cabal almost let itself out, and many believe that the correct solution is this, with the three arch-angels, Mott, Russell and Loge as double-dealers, with Pritchard, Butler and Guthrie lending an unsuspecting hand. Russell is to be Governor, Henry, Secretary of State, etc., down the smaller places. Then Mott is to turn on Pritchard and beat him for the Sen ate, and in due time Russell is to take Butler's place, Guthrie to have the suc cession to the governorship. This is a bi;r bi-spiel, the smaller lights falling in for whatever places are promised them and which places can afterwards be adjusted to suit contin gencies as thev arise. But, to the Assemblage. SO HE TKOCBLK OVER TIIE OPENING THAYER. Silver Dollar Chambers rapped to order and called upou Rev. R. II. W. P. Leak (colored) to'eray. This colored preacher excused himself by saying that while he was a Christian and a gentle man, he could not so far lose sight of his self-respect (being a yellow-bug) as to expect any of his prayers to preserve this Assemblage of political hacks, busted business men, defunct tinkers. Red Strings, Ku-Klux and Gideonites from a iust damnation. Thereupon a white Democrat from Halifax moved that Rev. T. W. Babb, au old white liner and Ku-Klux preach er, be invited to pray, which motion be ing seconded in a quailing way by Lusk and assented to in a nod by Maryann Butler, prevailed, and the prayer was got out of the way. Silver Dollar Chambers then asked Chauncey F. Black Beckwith to act as temporary secretary, which he reluct antly condescended to do. Thereupon the Democratic call was read as signed by the Raleigh party magnates. Some one in the body of the hall demanded the reading of the Re publican and Populist calls, and a fuss was only avoided by Mr. Needham Broughton suggesting that these calls be assumed to have been read. This satisfactorily closed the incident. Silver Dollar Smith then arose and said : "I congratulate myself most sincerely upon having drawn together such a magnificent Assemblage as I see before me. I use the word 'Assemblage' in contradistinction to Pearson's word 'Co-operation.' It now remains for you to finish what I have auspiciously be gun. Let us have a feast of speeches, a free exposition of individual views, a fair count and a respectful totftig for ail. Amidst so many shadows harmony can only be preserved by tolerating freedom of speech and respecting the opinions of others. "Before closine I will, however, dis claim any share of the responsibility for the presence of Logan Harris and his band of fifty negroes, and I beg the press to make a note of it." A Bertie county negro here arose to a question of personal privilege, wanting to know where he and Marse Loge were at. Loge, however, with his bundle of resolutions sticking out of his pocket, sat unmoved and the matter was allow ed to drop. TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN JARVIS SPEECH. Chambers, who seemed not a little disconcerted, then introduced Governor Jarvis as temporary chairman, whosaid: "Ijitiett'r and Farmer: "I am here because I am always on the side of the people so much so that I never lake snap action, but wait and diligently search to ascertain the way they seem inclined to go, and then as a hero should do, I try to get at the head of the column and lead them at double quick. It matters not to me whether they are right or wrong. Their principles are my principles, but I knojf hey need some dissembling big man 1- care for them and I am amply persuaded by my friends and the Coast Line that I am the big gest man in Silver Costume. Sena tor Burler frowns. I am of the people in fact, I am a people myself. I love the people. The people are good peo ple. The people are intelligent peo ple the people are honest people. Give me the people or give me death. If the people want silver, I want silver. If the people want turnip salad, I want turnip salad. If the people need a bath, I need a bath. I am splendidly equipped to teach financial matters. Why, people. I drew in four years over fifty thousand dollars from the United States government while minister to a silver country, and got good money for it from Uncle Sam! "Keep cool. Don't let your right toe know what your left eye sees. You go on and blaze out the road 'and I will lead you to victory. When we bring in our trophies of war, re member, the general takes three-fourths of the whole and -the rabble gets the rest of the whole. "Hurrah for the people! Marat was a truly great man; but a woman poison ed bim with a bath. "When I gt absolute) power, I shall compel all railroad lawyers in small towns ' to act as section-masters, too. This will be great economy, and will gave you the expense of extra officers to manage your business. The chairman then asked what -"was tbe pleasure of the Assemblage Where upon, J i m Young, colored,' moved that the temporary organization be made permanent and suggested that -J. 1L Beckwith, colored; of Johnston, he made assistant secretary, which motion was seconded, cat and carried. Sena tor Butler whispered something to Buck Stroud. . . . - - Ex-Governor and Chairman Jarvis simply thanked the folks for the honor conferred upon him and announced tne - THK METHOD OP FROCKDCKS. A colored gentleman on the. floor of the house thought that the Assemblage saouia be entertained witn. ove-minute speeches while the business of the body was being transacted in private by a se lect set of discreet men, and moved that a committee on resolutions he appointed by the chair, with instructions to report as early as practicable. Tbe motion prevailed, and tbe chairman appointed tbe following committee: Jim oung. chairman; ,M. Butler, Ed Chambers Smith, N. B. Broughton, Ben Lacy, Arm is tead Jones. C M. Cooke and Al ten Jordan, and requested the commit tee to retire behind the stage; de liberate and fix up things, and report to tne Assemblage. Speeches wercannounced as in order, and some of his immediately surround ing friends ia the body of tbe hall clamored vociferously for J. M. Moody, who seized the opportunity, and said : "I hardly Expected to get this fur, either In distance or in silver. What ever my past conrse may have bin, I is fur silver now. I have bin watching. though my watch ia gold, and I tell you what, tbe mountains is with me, and some of tne folks, too. In mv own town tne last legislature put up a south Carolina dispensary, and that is playing h I with the apple crop this year, i was a member of that dispen sary Legislature, but I did not know at the time what a d n big apple crop was going to louow that Legislature It is my own town, but I am caceiy re sponsible, i am also for silver. 1 re serve all rights, however to alter my opinion." Some laughter- and he quits Congressman Stroud being called for. said: "v "I am here because my hearft is true to the cause, and is not nef in it. I am preparing a speech for Congress, which I antic'pate will kill out the gold bugs and rehabilitate the financial con dition of this nation. Then our Chat ham people will be able to sell their hens, rabbits and eggs in your Raleigh market for twice as much as they are worth. More, I do not care to say now in my unprepared state, out put me down for free silver and free trade." Colonel Jule Carr being in demand, said: I had carefully prepared two speeches, one on silver and another on sett ice 13 eggs under one hen, but the manuscript got so mixed that my man could not separate it in time for this meeting, therefore, I beg to be ex cused." An Edgecombe county darkey arose and wanted this Assemb'age to change the name of the Caucasian to the Trans Caucus, but was ruled out of order. COL. SKINNER'S BRILLIANT EFFORT. Loud calls being made for Col. Henry Skinner, he arose, looked steadfastly at the audience, and said: "E Pluribus L num and the sub-Treas ury plan are my onspring. Hail Colum bia i3 my step-son. This world is just about my size. The Congress has here tofore been filled with nin-com -poops. All that is changed. We Populists have put up a rectifying establishment. Men of superior ability and greater purity will henceforth characterize that body and grand achievements will be accom plished. I, of course, prefer rectified spirits. Our party is also protecting the people against old, stale eggs. "The eag.e wi.l screech no more as if it had the stomach-ache, but will ma jestically soar above the silver clouds, applause by LuskJ wink at the silver moon, bow to the sun and enter claim to all the corner lots in Mars! f Dr. Mott cks his teeth vigorously. "You are thankful for my presence, but beware of turning our State over to the Radicals; better leave it in the hands of Bill Day and Tom Emry." Loud cheering followed, not, howev er, participated in by the Kadicais. Some one saw Joe Daniels at a table n the rear and called for him but he only remarked sotto voce that he was acting in a perfunctory reportorial ca pacity and had not been involved in this atfair to the extent of an invitation to sign the original call. That he was an admirer of Hoke Smith, a gold-bug, but was himself a silver-bug and for pen sions. Oliver Dockery was next prevailed upon to speak, and for once spoke briefly as follows: "I forget all the frauds committed un der that infernal svstem of county gov ernment by which I" was twice robbed of office, in this general jamboree of my wood-pne negro friends and ex-ballot-box stuffers, and am willing for them to forgive me for the abuse I have heaped upon them from every stump in the State. I am a farmer of forty-five years standing, an Alliance man, and am un questionably for silver and Allison for President, l ou will hear from me later, mv friends. Thank you." This speech was as freely cheered as silver Ex-Judge Whitaker being the next speaker, said impressively: "I hardly know where I am; now that I have lost the run of ballot boxes and my judgeship, too, but I will try to get on tbe top of some party again and in ood time. My ancestry is in my favor; having been saved in the ark under Noah's guidance and no longer ago than fourteen hundred years they amused themselves by pitching cocoanuts in the forests of Germany. " Loud cheers, during which the judge took his sgat. ' Ctesar Jones, colored, of Pasquotank, jumped to his feet and thanked his stars that the apparatus had at last got ten under weigh for social equality, and he did not give a d--n further for politics. This created no little thought but no remark. LOGE HARRIS BROUGHT TO HIS FEET. The crowd around Loge Harris be came impatient that he should speak, and out-hollerin the rest brought that gentleman to bis feet and he got this off: "1 hope that in all that relates to per sonal firmness, all that concerns a just appreciation of the littleness of life, all that pertaiLS to honesty, all that takes shape in the sentiment 'soul of honor' whatever may attempt the soul of a negro, patted on back oy triendsj or anything that does not threaten his pocket. 'What you mean man' says an old darkey all that pertains to my in dividual enhancement a voice, 'sit down' in public estimation, I may com pare with other men. My position must, of course, be for silver for sound, soft, honest and bard money in fact, all sorts of money and plenty of it. This comes natural to me and is not feigned. Honesty is the best passport to heaven, therefore, let's be honest, get together, and there will be some thing in it for us all. Loud cheers from tbe gentlemen in his immediate vicinity. A colored man from .Newborn here tried to set a resolution adopted re questing the Democratic papers to quit calling senator Kutier, alary Ann, oat he was pacified with tbe assurance that the name had been discontinued since Butler had got on top. LC8K8 LULCIOC8 LYRIC Hon. V. 8. Lusk not having spoken yet and walking about on the stage fre auentlv, he attracted the attention of Jim Moody who called out for Lusk the latter dramatically approached the footlights and shot off as follows, in a wooden-shaped voice: -. "The mat that ronnded Peter's dome and groined the fretted isles of Rome builded wiser than he knew. We have got the Democratic party under foot. and let's a voice; Not here?. Very well then. ; Give - me another horse. bind up my wounds. I too. am a father to this movement fa voice: 'Not here for that') and 1 have not been mentioned for anything yet. 'But now I'll eo far ther and I'll sail my men-of-war from my mountain fastnesses Moody: .'Aint you a Prohibitionist T'j down the silver stream unto Manteo's shiny sands! a negro: 'Halleluiah' I am for silver. I have always been for silver, it will stick to any body who will suck to It. Con found the Democratic rascals who are trying to steal it from us and our co partners. !No. 'no,'!. County govern ment, protection - and stuffed ballot boxes can- wait while we get more silver. .We must beat the dinged Democrats also. - "I have seen the aurora borealis and a mountain wild cat also. A voice 'Sit down'. I speak for Buncombe." He sat down then and wiped his brow. .None too soon Had Lusk done this. for the portly form of Walter Henry was seen coming down the centre aisle through the corn, tobacco and tatera. Cicero Smith (colored) appreciating his difficulty in moving through such a narrow lane moved the meeting sua pend until the chairs could be moved further aside and the gentleman re lieved of travail. But the loud calls for "Henry, Henry, speech, speech," seemed to grease the gentleman and he got on tbe stand, looked at the people. took off his collar, shook his right-hand cuff and his left-foot shoe, and with a Henry air said: "Fellow Silverites: I have but one idea by which my foot is gaided, and that is the desire to secure office for my friends. I expect hereafter to judge the future by the past. I ought to have been expecting this an along. "Judging by the last three years of the Cleveland administration, l wish to know what there is in it that a gentle man like myself can base his hopes upon. Ia it that insidious smile with which our petitions have been received and our pile of testimonials hidden away? Have we not shown ourselves willing to be reconciled? Have we not stood long enough out in the cold, cold world? Have we not petitioned? Have we not remonstrated, have we not pros trated ourselves with considerable per sonal inconvenience at the foot of power and implored something? Our petition has been slighted, our testi monials cast aside, our remonstrances received with additional insult, our supplications -disregarded, and we"iave been spurned with contempt. We can get nothing. Let us fight! "They tell us that we are weak; una ble to cope with this Kope Elias admin istration, but when shall we be strong er? Let us hope next year. Every body clapped. The jingling of our chains can be heard on Buzzard's Bay. War is inevitable. Something has got to be did. Let her come. Count me as a sutler. I know not what you fel lows may do, but as for me, by the shade of all the Henrys, give me an of fice or give me death. Sat down amidst deafening applause and seemed highly and lowly tickled. JUDGE RUSSELL COMES OUT. There was a temporary lull in the speaking and it was noticed that both Tim Lee and Laughinghouse were not present. Shatter, who, since his return from his Montana silver property, has become a convert to tha cause was seated in the amen corner waiting for Judge Russell to say his say. It was not long before the judge at a whisper and looking like a woman in bloomers on a bike walked out, fan in hand and said: "The slaughter of the business in terests of the country is nothing com pared to my personal ambition, and you fellows should not hesitate to act in my favor. Recollect that I was at one time a greenbacker and am therefore capable of being the mother-in-law of you all. "My friends, Logan Hams, Jim Young and Shaffer can back me up. If obtuse reflections are made upon my antique and unique stand regarding the negroes of our State, it amounts to nothing because I hit upon the truth. The negroes will vote for me if I choose to permit them to do so. I am not scared of any negro. (Puff.) Thank you for attention." The atmosphere was eight degrees cooler when tbe judge sat, and it was thought to bring about a re-action by calling out Dr. John John Mott, who glided to the front and said: "I am not used to public speaking. I am more or a Jiott street ltenector. Behind the curtains among the wily ways and means is my proper sphere, therefore, I prefer to let others shoot off their guns while I am surveying ihe field on the inside edge. THE ASSEMBLAGE THERMOMETER FALLS RAPIDLY. The temperature got lower, and the doctor resumed his chair and tooth picked calmly and conscientiously. Somebody having made mention of his name, W. .1. Peele jumped up and said: I don't know whether I am fish. flesh or fowl, Dem., Rep. or Pop., man, woman, or mixed, but. I believe in sil ver, and a green baize bag for briefs. I may make up my mind when 1 can col lect and sort it, but I am naturally a Populist I was born that way." Cooler still and things appearing frosty when a voice from the gallery (supposed to be his friend) called for T. It. Purnell, who alter adjusting his buggy dashes to his eyes in his most charming manner, said he was not built for exertion, and therefore was not wasting time in making up his mind on silyer. He would say, how ever, that he was not a candidate for any office at the hands of this crowd. He would saw wood, but for the exer c'ue. He would never be caught in the predicament he was in in J892 of run ning for a State office while holding two Federal offices. While he was being toted to his chair, overcoats were slippen on it was colder. Everybody was doxologized. ; The elite of the city Republicans, C. Tom Bailey, John Nichols, J. B. Hill, I John T. Ball, Dock. Sorrel, Devereux, Pat Stewart and Ed Johnson, were ob served in the gallery, warming their hands by the rubbing process. lineman, the Populist financier, who had hitherto escaped notice, was feebly called for, and simply bowed his ac knowledgment and said: "My face shows for itself." Everybody agreed with him, and off went overcoats. It was much warmer. Treasurer Worth in a diffident way stepped forward on receiving a note from a friend in the hall and said: "I have got the office I wanted, and I need to say nothing more for a couple of years. I s ill, however, take gold at the State Treisury for taxes. My clerk. Denmark, will tell you all something if you will call upon him," whereupon Denmark thinking it in order to go for ward, got up and said: "Friends, AUiancemen, Farmers, Store-keepers and Lawyers: I want you all to remember that 1 am the son-in- law of the lamented Polk. Thank you for your attention." Air got cooler again, and Moody tried to make another speech, but his friends, afraid he had already changed his opin ion, prevailed on him to wait until sun set. LKACII DISPELS THK FRIGIDITY. A negro from Wilson county attempt ed to spring a resolution proposing Joe. Daniels as the silver candidate for President, but was advised to wait until the return of Senator Butler from the committee room,- whereupon M. T. Leach, who seemed angry, got up and said: " "Fie, fy fo, ram. I small toe blood of a mortal nigger: Be he alive or be be dead, 111 have bis bones to make my bread. "I have got a farm and a livery stable and am for free silver too. I preside over primaries, and cotton ain't worth as much this year as last. Mules are cheaper also. iuano is not used these days . without a ag on it. Wisdom teaches us that a pound of cotton is worth a half -bushel ot ruta-baga turnips in siie. Plant your land well and culti vate the soil only. Salt down your sil ver and don't let anybody know where your, smoke bouse is. Look specially after yourselves after other people In your leisure moments."- Mr. Leach sat down amidst tremend ous applause and the Assemblage sweat ed, almost to a. man. as they understood what he was talking about and appreci ated ir Capt. Ashe (Coin II. who had been moaestiy sitting on the anxious oencn, was Drought forward: and introduced. Ue spoke to the point as follows: -"The fate of unborn millions now de pends upon the conduct and courage of tnis Assemblage a little late J. or the rest of my speech I refer you to the Professor and his mediaeval friends who will give you an insight on payment of a surer quarter, ne nicKeis or twenty' Ave copper cents." Whereupon he laughed unusually ioua ana looK a seat. Hal Ayer created Intense interest wben be came forward and said: "You can scarcely expect a mwrh from one like me.. My business is to put other people s thoughts into the Caucasian, a white man's paper. If I spoke. much I might give away secrets that senator Butler wanted to let out." BXJLPHTJR OrVU'WUOS SPEAKS. The hall went wild over this speech and demanded one of Otho Wilsen, who had unavoidably escaped attention up to now. Tbe egg-tester came forward. lapped his left cheek with bis tongue latuiaeonite sign-board) and said: "Bbbthhbh and Follows: I have got there Eli; follow me a little"longer and I may get over there a little higher. It is better than raising col lards and milking. cows. I am superb in my line. Democrats have quit ad vising me and most of them speak to me. 1 ou see I have got thar. Be care ful how you tread on corporate prop erty. I ride it free now. Do nothing through me to damage your future prospect 8 of eating your own home made roasting ears. Cultivate what you want and get a stock of hens that will not lay stale eggs; also have hard shell eggs layed they last longer and won t bust. Hard -Shell Baptists know this much. Should you be inclined to enter politics consult me, but remem ber that every dog has his day, and keep your eggs fresh, as I am now ad libertum able to eat them, and indiges tion has now become acquainted with my stomach. Silver is our scheme now. Keep a sharp eye on the copper stand ard men. We don't want cents; we want dollars. Consult me always and take my advice always. "lours truly, gentlemen. This speech was well received by the Populists present, bui Cuffy Jones (col ored) got up and said that copper is now the real standard, the cent being the unit of value; that one hundred copper cents would be as much as ooe gold or silver dollar or twenty nickels. This lead or thought was likely to bring on a 3300 to 1 copper discussion, so it was discouraged and quieted. Mr. Montague had just begun his famous speech when the committee on resolutions entered, and he desisted after stating that he loved farmers, and silver had lobbyed in the last Legisla ture against the reduction of interest, but with free silver it would give him twice as many dollars to lend out to farmers at what interest he could come at, and make his shute slide easier. THE COMMITTEE REPORTS. The committee reported the follow ing resolutions: We favor silver, We demand silver, Because it favors the moon, Because it is catchy, Because it is white, (no negro) Because it is daddy's dollar, and we want to get at it, Because it has been somewhere for ever, Because Judas Iscariot liked it, Because all sorry nations use it, Because cheap labor and plenty of silver are synonymous, liecause fools can be galvanized more easily, Because a pocket full or it reels big, Because we love anvthing whatever that was used by our very remote an cestry. liecause iNorth Carolina does not pro duce it, but does produce gold, Because politicians like it and busi ness men do not, Because it shines by night, and we are night workers. Because it is so easy to lool people with. "We condemn gold. We condemn paper currency, We condemn nickels, We condemn copper, Because none of these are the monies of the people. Because the first two are too large tor the people and the second two are too small for the people, Because while we would not give the people too big a thing, we would lose our right arm rather than give them nickel and copper, Because we hate copper-mouth snakes and copper-colored negroes, Because 100 copper cents don t make a dollar anyhow, Because 100 gold cents make more than a dollar, Because a paper dollar can be burned, Because a dollar of nickels cannot be burned, "Therefore, we unhesitatingly de clare for plenty of silver to give us all fifty dollars apiece, and that the rail roads, be required to transport this amount freeV The reading of these resolutions cre ated unconfined enthusiasm, and Mr. Young was so frequently interrupted that the chairman had to ask stillness until the ordeal was over. When fin ished, a tremendous shout went up ceil- ingwards. Above the din could be heard the Sancho Panza voice of Logan Harris hollering "Eureka!" Mr. Young then proceeded to address the crowd on the merits of the resolu tions, advocating them ;n toto, and ad vising the assembled, masses to adopt them without a dissenting -voice. He next touched upon the impartial com position of the committee, as he said, at the Tequest of a couple of members of the committee, but as he had been honored with the chairmanship, he touched this chord as lightly as possi ble. It sems that there was some op position to placing five Democrats, two Republicans and one Pop on the com mittee, an unfair divide for the Co- operationists. Jim Young then proceeded to deliver the rest cf Loge Harris speech, which was left off on purpose, apd was not only getting well into that speech, but spoiling much lime that did not suit the leaser lights, who also wanted to have a say, so they got their friends to calf him down, and Jim gracefully yielded the rest of his time to Governor Carr, who excused himself on account of tbe recent absence from town of his private secretary, but said that Mr. Ben Lacy would entertain the body most magniloquently, and tranquilize even a soft shell turtle. This made Colonel Fauntleroy mad. BEN LACV'S BPKECHXKT. i Lacy came to te foot-board and safi Jhat as Goliath was away he could net fmake his usual speech, but he wud venture the expression, in spite of every hazard, that he (Lacy) was in favor of free silver, and heartily sup ported the movement; that he had so frequently been mentioned as a possible gubernatorial stick ("Intense frown bv Brougnton , ana aiso candidate for Con gress (Chambers did not catch onj, that be felt a serious Kind or diffidence in addressing a body that might, in the near future, have to pass upon his claims. ; Goliath being absent, he dared say no more, and thanking the Gover nor for his kind Introduction, be too. rot to his seat with an empty gun. Tiiree or-iour countrymen cneerea lustily, and demanded a speech from A. C Green, who said: . "Times are squally. Cotton don't grow like it did when the niggers were not . free. Now they want more to eat and want to wear shoes in the summer time. This requires more corn, and does not aiiow us to aouse it on tne sao- Treasury plan, even if we had the plan and the corn. We could get, under this plan, two dollars worth for one. Our folks have given up this chief larmers scheme. -1 don l know why. except the lawyers said it was not feast" ble. With Lawyers Jarvis, Pritchard, Buck Kitchin and Skinner leading us. and our other is-to-be Lawyer Senator ouuer wording us, we may come to that again. Calamities abound, but I am for silver and the people. My time did not arrive : at an office 'two years ago, but I can run faster now on th i s silver business, and hope to be with you heart and soul at the next election' Mr. C. M. Cooke, who had sat de murely, hoping nobody would say anv thing about him, i was called out, and said: - ."My dear friends and associates: I have been virtuous if I have not been happy. I feel good now after "such a long wait occasioned by the Raleigh gang. I assure y&u that I am grateful that I got it at last, also that I am at last out of Chambers' way for Congress. Smile over -major part of Chambers face and I am willing to take my pay in anv sort of money whether State 'banks are taxed 'or not. However, I heartily subscribe to your resolutions if it will do any good." J. Wiley Shook took the floor and en tirely stood by the resolutions, but wanted to add another requesting the next Pop. Legislature to do for the Waynesville dispensary because it was ruining the apple farmers of Haywood county in the interest of Kentucky "red eye. In this contention hewas antag onized by Jim Moody, who claimed that you cou.d smell apple brandy the day afterwards; that apples were capital for both hogs and cider, and wound up by intimating in a diree manner that J. Wiley was forever trying to make a bigger man out of himself abroad than at home. The discussion bearing down towards the personal phase, the suave Governor- Chairman called both the mountaineers down, put Shook's motion, and Shook voted for it. Mr. Beckwith left his seat for the purpose of introducing a resolution condemnatory of the ex-Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, but as the Assemblage wanted to narrow the scope of its action, and the end was near, he was induced to desist from adopting this means of attacking a man so far over the border. SPIER WHITAKER MOVES ADOPTION. Spier Whitaker took a small part of the floor and strongly advocated the adoption, by a rising vote, of the reso lutions in their entirety. He said much in their favor. He wanted to put new clothes on (rehabilitate) silver, and com-1 pel history to keep in the right line so that the diagram of one's ancestry might not be lost sight of. In an eloquent ap peal of one hour and seventy-five min utes he closed by moving the adoption of the resolutions as a whole. The motion was seconded by a col ored gentleman frcm Halifax. The chairman fearing to trust the temper further, put the motion and it was carried with a Buffalo Bill shout and noise that made everybody wonder at everybody else. It was a dear-breeding noise but it is over now. The end is come. What else? nothing? Yes. Some fellow got up and said tht he came there to hear a speech from Mr. N. B. Broughton, and be begged nobody would move to quit until that gentle man was heard. Thereupon, after cat calls, Mr. Broughton walked in a state ly manner to the foot lights of the stage and said: Brethren: Since I have found so many allusions t3 myself as a possible candidate for Governor Ben Lacy squirms and Russell blows, of this motley crowd, 1 hardly know whether I am in accord with the crowd or not. Perhaps I would be certain if you would kick Cy. Thompson and Cy. Watson and all the other Cy people out. I may safely say that I speak for myself and my brethren in the Lord. I will, how ever, take the matter into consideration. It or something else has long and fre quently been mentioned of me. 'With such continued expressions of good will towards myself Lacy leaves the hall, I am sure I will eventually get something, perhaps another whack at the public printing. Me and Joe come mighty near being with you a few years back. " Now, brethren, go quietly to your homes, attend strictly to your neighbor's business on a Sunday after noon, and to vour own on week days, and trust in the Lord. And " Curfy Jones moved an adjournment, which was vociferously and numerously seconded, and everybody got their hats on and out they scrambled. Talks with the nabobs showed that 4 hey did not know what good or bad had ieen accomplished. Chambers was gloriously pleased. It had magnified him. Butler wore a disturbed counte nance. Pritchard seemed to have a who is my real friend" appearance. Lusk's was a sine qua non look. Mott smiled that s ckly smile as if his poison had taken hold of tbe victims. Stroud, in view Of his congressional salary and white hat, exhibited himself as a don't giv a d-n. Nobody scarcely seemed pleased except the small fellows who don't know now and never will be per mitted to know what devilment these financial Solons attempted to do to con trol the ignorant of their own ranks. Truly, "where ignorance is bliss, 'twere folly to be wise." Thus ended the contemptible con spiracy against the life of the two grand old parties a conspiracy in the name pf patriotism, engineered by the jackals of both parties who fear to lead in a right, and have not the courage to s;op their cohorts in time to save the inno cents.

Washington, Sept. 18. Among the vacation absentees is Mr. Scott Nesbitt, appointment clerk of the Treasury De partment, formerly chief clerk of tbe Internal Revenue Bureau well known to many North Carolinians. He will return from Virginia in a few days. THE CREDIT NOT RIGHTLY PLACED. A certain great newspaper has always been represented here by a careful and able correspondent. The paper itself is over-careful, if possible. What I mean is that having so trustworthy a corres pondent they might always confide in his judgment on matters abaut which he might be considered as well informed and the home staff to be not informed at all. The assistant correspondent at the time of which I now write was also a careful man of rather phlegmetic temper. He enjoyed the confidence of a distinguished ex-member of the British Parliament. When years ago Premier Gladstone prepared a scheme of homerule and wished it somehow to get out without responsibility so as to test public temper in England, this gentle man, a resident of this country, wrote op the measure fully. This draft he showed to his friend, the careful assistant cor respondent, who was thoroughly con vinced of its genuineness. But the ex member of Parliament also showed him private letters from a person whose confidential relations with Mr. Glad stone were ot such a nature as to re move all doubt, if any newspaper cor respondent or editor should doubt the intermediary himself. Notwithstand ing ' all these overwhelm ing vouch ers, the careful great paper In the abundance of misplaced caution pub-4 lished , the valuable plan of Irish gov ernment without the name of the only man its framer and promoter whose connection with it was of public im portance. It stated that an eminent political thinker had formulated the bill; Well, another careful great news paper was put on to the tremendous item of intelligence thus ridiculously squandered . the - very next day and printed it, as the first paper bad done, and as, had been -stipulated for by the ex-member of Parliament, under a Lon don date line, v But it gave the author's name. It got the credit with the pub lic of giving publicity to the schema. The London correspondent of this pa per denied the genuineness of tbe meas ure, which, however, was so generally acoepted that it was-never repudiated by Mr. Gladstone. , The plan was the famous one of Provincial Parliaments for each Irish Province. : The Irish ma jority did not relish it, as it gave auton omy to Ulster, and they sat down on tne project. : THK WASHDSGTOX HSGBO, The Post to-day has an editorial voic ing what l have heard scores Of people say. and what I know to be true that some of the well-dressed and appar ently intelligent negroes on the streets of this city and in the public squares ano otner puonc places, are rude and insolent to a degree that would not be tolerated any where south of the Po tomac and Ohio. The reason assigned is probably true in part. These offen sive persons are not persona grata with Northern people. On the contrary. they are given the cold shoulder, and this cool treatment makes the negroes resentful. The Post copies a short communication from the New York Sun, showing that a Southern gentle man on a New York street ear surren dered his seat to a negro woman who was burdened with a baby and some bundles. The grateful darkey accepted the courtesy with the remark: "1 sholy does thank you, sir." A South erner of tbe best type is always kind to negroes when they will let him be. Unfortunately, Southern gentlemen here are not always permitted to set the tone of things. I have for years watched the conduct of the Washing ton colored people, starting with a pre disposition to excuses fdr their evident lack of politeness, so characteristic of old-time negroes. My Hrtt excuse. long persisted in, was that they had been spoiled by the Republicans after the war. especially during their briet rule, while the District of Columbia was a trinity. Then, I argued that they were numerically consider able here, were just emerging from the shackles of slavery and were intoxi cated with the novelty of their position as the nation's wards. But they have had a chance to sober down; their shackles were thrown aside; and it is not the older ones any way who are loud-mouthed, insolent in speech and manner and lawless in resisting arrest Where they have committed offences. The young generation grown up since their fathers and mothers were slaves are the rude, boisterous and violent ones. Their greatest license is in open speech in which profanity and obsceni ty are freely indulged. They walk along the sidewalks or drive carts along the-streets shouting indecencies as if there were no law to restrain scur rilous speech. On some of the best squares and circles they make the even- ngs hideous with noise and vulgarity. No citizen is free from' their jibes if they choose to make him the object of them. It is altogether with them, for the few policemen find it bard enough to catch the young pistoliers and "raz- zer fiends and the stealthier wretches who break into houses from the back window. Nowhere else perhaps in all the land is there quite so much liberty of lung and elbow extended to the col ored youth as here at the capital of the great republic. The black hoodlum seems to consider himself licensed to say and do what he wishes and feels really aggrived if in the midst of his pleasures he is even arrested for snatching a lady's purse or making a hole in another negro s vitals. TOE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN. Two opinions are entertained as to the Maryland campaign one favorable, the other adverse to the success of the Gorman ticket. The first presupposes, as the last does, that the issue of tbe campaign is Germanism; but it claims that the prediction of Lowndes, the Re publican candidate, that if Gorman should lose this year the Democratic national ticket would lose Maryland next year, has opened the eves of many of the anti-Gorman Democrats to the danger of supporting a Republican ticket this fah. The fact is that sev eral of these men have announced their adhesion to tbe Gorman t cket since Lowndes made this singular slip. These accessions, although not numer ous, have been -made the most of by the friends of the Democratic ticket. They have given heart to the Gorman canvass, as is evinced by the confi dent manner in which tbe ultimate success of the party at the election is foretold. Gorman has tbe advantage or a complete organization which the others lack. He is reiving on this and the control of the election machinery to win. The winning back of even so few of the anti-Gormanite men is there fore a matter of some consequence. The other view is that taken by those who claim to know that the administra tion is still bitterly hostile to Gorman It is known that Secretaries Carlisle and Lamont will not speak fh the Mary land campaign. The administration is dearly not sympathetic with the Mary land organized Democracy. Whether it is actually fighting it at present may still be a question. It cannot be accu rately determined. One man said to day that he was fully satisfied that the administration was opposed to the elec tion of the Democratic State ticket and the re-election of Senator Gibson. Per contra, a Clevelandite ex-Congressman said yesterday that he thought the ticket would pull through, but with the greatest difficulty. NOTICE.
