“A PAPER OF. FOR. AND BY THE PEOPLE.’"
WATSON IN WILKES

Stationed in an Amorj
Full of Arm* Do not
Affect Matters.
Neither Did toe Babarous Command of Gov
Nortben Keep the Crowds A why
Or Prevent the 3peak)rife.
Now it is over.
Watson has spoken in Washington,
And tberotton egg element that had
so fresly threatened to give trouble and
had swi n to mako it hot for tlM champion
of the Populists, did not show Its yellow
bead. A Humor baa tor some time said
that Watson could not speak is Washing
ton. A counter rumor ba* said that be
could, and would.
The 20tb of July showed that the lat
ter was the true prophecy.
The 1 lo'clock train with extra cars at
tached brought Watson and with aim live
or six car loads of populists
A larga aumber of popullsta had gath
ered at the depot to meet Mas and these
added to tbs trains cargo mads a crowd
of 1000 or more. Before leavtog the da
pot Mr- Watson made a brief address from
* *
--
the steps of hie carriage, baas- ting all
to preserve the boat of order and to give
no cause for offense, that nothing could
stop the onward, successful march of our
esuto but rasLooteaaoar part.
Heartily did tho crowd respond to this
appeal and tbeu deploying on aids walk
and street they sought the grovf «a the
outskirts of town ta
was to take place and where the large part
of iba crowd bad assembled. The speak
ers stood was at tbs foot of a large am
phitheater like hill, and tbs croed that
gathered on its circling side numbeedr 000
Despite the prophecy and fear that’ there
would be trouble, not a ripple disturbed
the quiet and pence. No soundaave thatof
cheering or of approbation was hoard be
neatb the old shading trees.
And tho speech; Lnck of time will not
let us give it justice. It was such a dis
course that only Watson can give. Mild
uooffensive to his opponents, yet a strong
tower of truth and tact for the patri ot
His speech, as he said, was intendedfor the
truth seeking democrats, (or times who
had been caught for suckers by Glevslau d
and the promisee of his followers.
Ih took the democratic compaign book
of txe last campaign and read from it ex
tracts that showed how the Bobber Tar
iff was running the poor farmers by a
heavy tax ou nearly every thing that they
had to buy. In his matchless style he
then reminded them that the tariff was
•till robhi ng him just as it always had and
that those leaders who were so torirUy
wrought up over the tariff before the elec
tion were off fishing or junketing. In
like manner he reminded them that every
promise that bad bean made them was
utterly forgottou or cast aside as old bait
to bs used in the next compaign when
again they would bs ''cauyht fur suckers.’
He said be had been accusod of chang
ing but produced a copy of the Washing
ton Gasette containing extract* of a speech
be had made there last year and showed
by that be was still advocatiag the very
asm# principles.
He then dwelt upon Hamilton and
Jefferson and their opposing doc trios*,
showing how the north was naturally
Hamiltonian whils tbs South and West
was corn pa! lad to bold the duct nose of
Jefferson. He tbeu showed that Uamllto
uiaa bankers aud boo Lera «f the North
■Mid Last controlled ins democratic party
with a rod of Iroo, and that no Jsfferaetuan
laws had or could he enacted so leaf as

speech: so many that we will not attempt
a farther (ketch.
Alter Watson bad eoneladad Maj. Mc
Gregor arose and made a short hut stir*
ring speech, and w hen he touched on
the fact that Gov North on had ordered
the State troops to be ready to move on
Woshisgton that day—bit language was
such as would inspire contempt for the
miterablu being, who was elected by the
votes of the very men whom now lie
would be glad for a pretext to suppress
by military fores. It was not generally
known then that the borne militia com*
pay of Washington was In their armory
ready on a moments notice to march out
and shoot——whoT Such was the rase
however. Maj McGregor said nothing
of It then, but bagged that the crowd
preeent the same good order they had up
to that time.
Through the acts of the Governor and of
the military of Wilkes was no doubt in
tended for provocation, bo it recorded,
patriotism and party love nnd pride; not
the fear ot adudo military company that
the* immense crowd could have swal
lowed at single charge, made every thing
move ns smoothly as n May day picnic
at Washlnguon on the 20th of July 1893.

can purchase enough new type to make
the Advocate a far better organ both as
