THE REFLECTOR . Greenville, N. C. Entered at the post office at Green mail matte 1896 HE CONVENTION They Demand More and a Can- for Congress. The Man of the People ye to Honor. Friday at Rocky Mount Will long be remembered in North No Presidential candidate for a quarter century has visited the State during until Mr. Bryan came. it is not that Le consented to come every- body made up their to see and hear This accounts th- fact that the whole town was with human beings. They came from every direction in immense we our train had ten loaded and packed coaches Every train was loaded to its all surrounding country were there, some going the Jay before an camping out in tents. Rocky had put on its most festive look to receive the next dent and the crowd estimated all the way from to stores and dwellings and nearly all the buildings v ere and decorated in National colors. The various com- bad done their work well. Out at the Fair Grounds the were complete and the orations superb. A large commodious stand just in front the grand from which Mr. Bryan was to speak Besides this the grand stand, the judges Stand, an etc., were near to see and furnished sea's tor those who were fortunate enough to get tin m. The Press reporters occupied the stand. arrangements under the direction of a special which Sir. C. C. Cooper was chairman and their work had been well done. Wt are obligations to this gentleman and the Chief Mar- shall, Capt. S. L. Hart, for courtesies. There were at least 1,500 ladles in the grand stand and they added to the interest of the occasion by presence. Mr. Bryan arrived at the Fair Grounds at one o'clock and as he near- ed the stand there was shout and a around the place which he was to speak such as no man being ever before. It looked as if people would be crushed by the them. The heat was simply intense and as that of inanity stood there jambed together under a burning sun perspiration streaming from every face it presented a picture which can be gotten in no other way of the intense interest and is in this campaign restoration of the money our fathers to the place it held in their day. II BUT man doubts the sincerity of North Carolina Democrats for free silver at the ratio of to this would for ever give the lie to such an insulting insinuation. Mr. Bryan was carried front the train to in a drawn by four white horses and as he took his seat on the stand though, he looked a tired man yet his eyes seemed to flash with de- light as he surveyed the immense surrounding him. As he thus sat he impressed us as being a man whose face instantly convinces every one that he is in the presence a great man. Hon. II. Bunn in well chosen words i- Mr. Bryan. lie spoke for thirty minutes in which time he dis- cussed the silver question as well as a man could do in that short space. It would impossible for us to even give synopsis of the speech in our limited space today and we shall therefore con- tent ourselves in giving some which Mr. Bryan made upon us all. To begin with he has a fine with a blight noble eye. He is ear nest to a fault and yet you know that he is not an enthusiast or a fanatic. He you to the belief that he has thought long and well upon the subject which he discusses, that he hits arrived at some definite conclusions, that these conclusions are correct, and that it is his mission to get other people to see them as he does. He talks like one who has a He reasons like one who feels that immense interest are at stale. He is positively tree from de- and there is a frankness and about what he says that car dies the conclusion that his and he has them, arc honest, and lie would have no man He forces admiration and receives respect. He convinces all that he is able ; h is strong, well-balanced ell furnished ; that uppermost in his mind is his county's good ; that to this end he is developing the best energies of bis lite ; that in feeling he is with the toiling millions and if elected President would devote all the powers of his be- bring, as far as he was able, prosperity and happiness to every American citizen. The thought occurs to us, that such a card-date ought not every man to unite in his support him and leave no doubt as to bis election. We be- that as far as North Carolina is concerned, this will accomplished in a few days. The injunction that he It ft upon all silver men in the State in the close of his speech Friday to unite and cast every vote favorable to free silver where it wilt count will surely bear fruit and give to him the electoral of this State. Th-.-re was a meeting of Republicans held Saturday afternoon under the call of B. M. W. and Fleming, secretary. It not being known by outsiders what the pose of the convention was, many to find out went up to see what transpired. The participants in the meeting were slow g together, but after eon ringing of the bell a hundred or more colored people and two whites gathered within the bar of the court room. Chairman finally rapped the assembly to order who said the object of the meeting would be explained by T. W. C. Moore. Mix re, ho is a colored la spoke about an hour. He said he was glad of an y to make one more Republican speech. He contrast- ed the. of the three national conventions a Republican stand- point and argued for and the gold standard. Touching upon State matters Moore said he had been for Dockery That he went lo the State convention in May to work for Dockery, and when the Russell crowd cheated Dockery out of the nomination he came home cried for three weeks.

He that many people thought this meeting w. s being he'd to get out ticket, but it was not tor that purpose. The meeting was simply as their rights and demand their share of the offices. The Populists had promised th t the Sena- tor should be selected by a com- and then gone on and nominated their own It the ex- the Republicans to support the fusion ticket the Republicans had to h the Senator and one more Commissioner. They had been to the Republican executive committee that morning and state what they must have and were told to defer their until next Saturday week and the meantime the committee would be ready to report what could be done He said they were going to wait until that time when another meeting would be held to receive the report and if their demands were acceded to they support the fusion ticket, if not they were going to vote for who they pleased. Moore also took occasion to give Harry Skinner some sharp thrusts, accusing him of first trying to trade with the Democrats, then dickering will the Republicans support, that Skin- was a silver man and no man who was tor and gold could con- vote for Skinner for Con- Moore was followed by C. M. A. Dawson, another colored man, who made some remarks following up the latter part of Moore's speech. He spoke of the folly of Republicans work- and voting for and at the same time for a man to go to Congress whose influence and would be cast every measure advocated by Dawson in- resolutions setting forth facts and upon the Republican executive committee the district to give them a candidate up- on the same platform with and same principles as and that if the committee fail-d to do this then they requested T. C. Moore to take the field as an dent candidate for The resolutions were ail pied, and Moore announced that if the executive committee failed in the matter he would out as b as re- quested. Just before adjournment Frank Johnston was called on also made a speech. He made no reference to what had been done in the meeting, except to compliment Moore, his being almost entirely a race speech. the crowd to throw ob in the way of certain plans. Suffice it to say that every man who participated n these is certain that Bryan will be elected. Democrats are unsparing their criticism of Secretary who, by the way, is going lo take stump in Kentucky for and for having written a letter saying in effect that he would redeem silver dollars gold if the was made. Senator Faulkner declares this to be an to the money sharks to raid the gold reserve of the and force the issue of more bonds, and expresses the opinion that it will be worth thous- ands of voles to Bryan and silver, by convincing people the intention of the men to still further than they have yet gone towards turning our financial interests over to a dozen bankers in Europe and New York.

Advertising is simply a or a request, on the part of the advertiser the public call to inspect and to buy that which the advertiser has for sale.
