Senator Quay came over from
New York this week to try to per
the Republican Senators to
take his advice and not attempt to

has made some converts, but
enough is somewhat doubtful.
Tho impression among those who

will be made to pass the bill, if they
ever succeed in it re-

for its report has now gone by. Now
say it will be reported next

of the members of his con-

Rev R. B. John was the minister

knock the props from under this

but truth compels us to do so.

Speaking.
The past week was prolific of
speeches in Greenville.
as we are unable, for want of
space, to make a separate report of
each speech made, or of each
rate speaking day, we are compelled
to bring them all under one general
heading and each briefly.
THE DISCUSSION.
The ball was started rolling on
Monday by the joint discussion be
Geo. H. Brown, Jr., and
Mr. Geo- A. the candidates
for Presidential Elector. Both gen
are citizens of Washington, any profession.
and are speakers of more than aver-
age ability. The speaking was in
court house, after the adjourn
of the morning session of the
court, and was listened to by a good
j crowd of citizens, both white and
Democratic nominees, and a j the former predominating,
of about votes

an hour and a quarter. We were

mi-yet they assume to jubilate
over holding their own in

would go Radical, and cared
about what the majority
might be. If they could report
gains from a Democratic strong-
hold, they would have cause for

expected results in
States. Now is the
you, ye Rads, to crow
over something; for ye know
well that the day of mourning
for yon is near at hand. Shout
now over the magnificent results
in Maine and but
when the returns come in from
said he would use a newspaper
which was more eloquent and
appropriate than anything he could
say or write. He then quoted at
length from an editorial in the May
17th issue of the Washington Gazette,
and turning to his opponent said he
knew Mr. Sparrow approve
and endorse every word of that
because he was the
of it. This announcement met
with enthusiastic applause from the
Democrats present, as did many
telling points made by Mr. Brown.
Mayor C. M- Bernard introduced
Mr. Sparrow. We heard the
of this speech, to which we paid close
attention. After announcing the
position for which be was running
and an exhaustive explanation of
the manner in which President
and Vice-President were chosen, Mr.
Sparrow declared his intention of
discussing the national issues that
divided the two great parties, in do-
which not make
and fail to prove them, as bis
opponent had done, deal
in facts and would give the figures
to prove what he had to say. This
was an unfortunate promise the
part of Mr. Sparrow, for while he
declared himself prepared with facts
and figures which soon be pro-
he was never able to reach
them, always keeping them in sight
just ahead, and closed his speech
without having been able to catch up
with a single one of them. Not one
of Col. Brown's charges was answer-
ed, and many of the statements of
the speaker were wild and reckless.
We give two as samples. He said
that the Republican high pros
tariff had so cheapened goods
American manufacture that steel
rails could be bought in the United
States for a smaller sum per ton than
the tariff tax on foreign rails amount-
ed to. Again he said that a certain
bought a suit of clothes,
hat, shirt, shoes, of American
manufacture, also a set
studs for his shirt front, the entire
outfit costing and that he
failed to find a single European mar-
in which he could purchase the
same articles as cheaply as in
the United States. All thinking
men will at once see the fallacy of
this argument, for the Hiddenite
studs, which are very rare indeed,
if procurable at all, are equally as
valuable as diamonds, and would
have alone the purchaser ten or
a dozen times as much as the whole
outfit is said by Mr. Sparrow to have
cost. And if American goods are
sold so much cheaper than those
European make, if it is impossible
to duplicate American prices in the
European markets, what is the need
of having a high protective tariff to
keep out imports, and why
the everlasting cry of our industries
being ruined by competition with
the pauper products of foreign
tries If our manufacturers, under
a high protective tax, can sell goods
cheaper than free trade England,
would not the same goods be cheap-
were the tax, or a portion of it,
removed Is not the tariff
if these assertions of Mr.
Sparrow are true, and is not its con-
robbery Mr. Sparrow is
the most Republican orator
we have ever listened to, and his
presentation of a weak side was as
good as could have been made. The
present cheered and
at almost every pause,
whether appropriate or not.
Col. Brown had just commenced
his reply to Mr. Sparrow when Judge
Graves came in and the discussion
closed without rejoinder. All the
advantage in the discussion was on
the side of Col- Brown, who received
many compliments for his able effort
in behalf of Democracy.
THE RATIFICATION MEETING.
On Tuesday, as previously
there was held a grand Dem-
ratification meeting, and a
tremendous crowd from Pitt and ad-
joining counties was present. Both
speakers announced for the occasion
were and it was expected
that they would supply the audience
with sound Democratic doctrine.
In this the people were not
pointed, for both gentlemen fully
sustained the reputation previously-
borne by them. We were only able
to bear a portion of each speech
and regret our inability to do them
justice in this report. Hon. W. B.
Henry, of Henderson, the first speak-
was introduced by Mr. F. G.
James, and for an hour and a half
he spoke to the vast crowd
bled. National and state affairs were
ably discussed and the various is-
sues dividing the two parties were
handled in a masterly manner. In
eulogizing the standard bearers of
Democracy Mr. Henry was very
and was greeted with round
after of The race
question in North Carolina was
squarely drawn, the speaker boldly
declaring that the white people
must and should rule. He had no
animosity or ill will against the
but he was inferior to the
white man in every respect and to
tally incompetent to govern. God
had made the an inferior be-
in history recorded no single
instance where one of the race had
attained eminence or distinction in
Mr. Henry closed
his speech amid much applause.
Mr. J. D. Murphy introduced Hon.
J. E. Moore, of Williamston, the
speaker. It seemed that Mr.
Henry had covered all the ground
possible in his speech and that Mr.
Moore would therefore not have very
much to say. This idea was very
soon dispelled by that gentleman,
who made one of the strongest and
most eloquent speeches ever heard
in Greenville. Already held in
high esteem by the people of Pitt
county, who know him and
ate his sterling integrity and great
Ham, of Tarboro, addressed the Y.
M. M. D C. Both speeches were
appropriate and favorably received.
One was a plain, unanswerable
statement of facts and arraignment
of the party, the other a
glowing outburst of oratory. Mr.
is said to have made the
best twenty minutes ever
beard Greenville, not even being
excelled by Vance. He advanced
a new line of thought, not generally
heard in political speeches.

Mr. Editor i At a called meets

of arriving at some definite
concerning a covering for

resolutions were

jute bagging trust company, be it

amount they want to invest in

arrival except what others have said I ability, Mr. Moore endeared himself
to all present and made friends of
those who before had regarded him
with comparative indifference. His
explanation of the tariff was labor
ate and convincing, leaving a strong
impression upon the minds of his
audience. While the whole speech
was a great one, the appeal to the
citizens of Pitt county to be true to
themselves in the earning election
and to help swell the victory that
would crown the Democratic cause
in November was one of the most
masterly outbursts of impassioned
eloquence we ever listened to, and

that the Rev. W. H. Moore has served
us as Presiding Elder, and this, in all

in which we will all meet our

from this sacred and holy place, around
whose altar we have often met in
commemoration of, and in consecration
to our Heavenly Father, to work Him
in other parts of his vineyard. By the
laws of our Church Brother Moore can-
not return to us in his present capacity
but must goto other fields of labor. This
gives us pain, but we bow in humble
submission, and heartily recommend him
to any people who may be so fortunate
as to receive the services of such a true.

Moore with sad hearts, and pray that
the God who hath sustained him amid
all the difficulties of life, who hath
kept him and used him for His own
may always abide with him. His
strong arm may ever uphold him, and
that He will give him more souls for his
hire, more seals to his ministry, and at
last give him an abundant entrance into
His everlasting kingdom in Heaven.

About the Third Party.
Editor
I saw a statement in a recent is-
sue Of the North Carolina Prohibition-
to effect that ministers of
tho N. C. Conference bad signified
their intention through private
with some of
worthies of that journal, to vote
Third Party ticket. I am satisfied,
from what I have and heard,
that this statement is without
and that it was intended to
mislead the people. No doubt
preacher who was questioned in
regard to the matter, replied that
he was a prohibitionist; that
any considerable number of them
said they east their votes tor

believe. I have yet to see but one
preacher, and to hear or but one
other, who belongs to conference
who were at all favorable to

there are ten members of the
Conference who will vote this so
called ticket, I am
heartily sorry for them. am sorry
for any preacher who so loses
sight of the of the people
to whom he ministers, who so tar
gets the welfare of his wile and
so forgets that the
thrown around his home
today is tho happy existence of white
supremacy in this country, as to
cast his vote with the element,

every mail who votes for this
would-be Third Party. Whether Is
intends it or not, ho is wielding his
influence and easting his ballot in
behalf of Radicalism, is a
synonym in North
Carolina I say I pity any member
of our conference who lends himself
as a tool to this Radical annex.
God forbid that I should ever cast
my vote, either directly or indirect-
to place the true, generous, and
noble white men women of
Eastern Carolina under the galling
humiliating yoke of rule.
Were I to cast vote for this
Third Party, know after the
election that I ban been the
of helping to defeat the will of the
best white men in the State, my
conscience would burn with remorse
over my folly. am opposed to the
Third and who

to ministers preaching politics from

Keep Cool Go Slow.
In these days of straggle
one needs to be all eyes to see
chances. You see very little when you
are always on the run. Keeping cool,
slow, things easy and keep-

might, not only to see, but to act. Many
fail, not from lack of doing, but from
doing unwisely, and are then surprised
to find some one ahead who seems to
have done very little. But that one
used his where it did the most
good. A greenhorn may batter a rock

It is said that shoes were originally
adopted rather as an ornament than for
use. To this day women of
lower class do not wear shoes, but paint
their feet to resemble them. The same
practice was in fashionable vogue among
the ancient Egyptians years ago.
