Y AMKV \ ii. I. K. Oct. :!.—A large
crowdassembled in theOoort House
last Friday to hear the joint dis-cussion
between the Congressional
candidates. The Court House was
packed with both white and color-ed.
It was Mr. Reid's turn to open
the discussion, and when he went
upon the stage the house fairly
shook with one continued roar of
applause. lie commenced by
-how ing up Col. Edward's record
as a Democrat, and said be had
been laught the principles of Dem-ocracy
by Col. Edwards and now
he was here abusing the very doc
trines he hail been all his life teach-ing
the young men of the country,
lie followed up his whole political
course since the war. .Showed that
when he was a candidate for Con-gress
in I8CC he was against negro
suffrage, and in favor of colonizing
them, and lead a circular issued
then by Col. Edwards saving that
lie was unalterably opposed to
tlu-ir voting, for the reason that be
believed they were incompetent to
its intelligent exercise, and now he
is asking the votes of the colored
man. lie referred to Col. Edwards
in the seeessioii convention and to
his efforts to raise a company and
to his war speeches urging young
men to go to the army. He then
showed that he was regarded a
Democrat in 1870, when he con-tested
with Lassiter, Republican,
for a sea! in the Legislature and
got it, and his cry was ■■Tinn the
rascals out." and that he did help
to turn them out in the impeach-ment
of Iloldcn. That in the same
Legislature he was with the Dem-ocrats
on county government,
signed the Legislative address that
was issued by the Democrats of
both houses which said. "The
present county and township gov-ernments
are intolerable evils."
and Mr. Edwards went further and
published a three column letter
over bis own .signature defining
his position on the amendment to
the constitution to gel rid of the
county system. Mr. Reidsaid no
one ever heard a word from Col.
Edwards against the Democratic
party until after he was defeated
tor the nomination for Judge at
Durham, lie then discussed na- '
tion.il issues. Spoke at length up-'
on the tariff and revenue, and
bandied both with that ability and
clearness that met the approba-tion
of all. and most satisfn storily
explaining the tariff.
Mr. Reid commanded the undi-vided
attention ol all present and
was continually greeted with '
cheers and tokens ol their appre-ciation
of havinghim in their midst. !
He told the people that Col. Ed-wards
in his speech would not tell i
them where he stood, whether he '
was a Democrat or a Republican,
that he made it a point to ask him
every day which of the great na- .
tional parties ho belonged to and i
he had never yet answered him.
and now he would follow him ami
he wanted them to pay close at-tentiotl
and see if they could tell
by what he had to say where be
stood or what he was for.
Col. Edwards then arose, the ne-groes
made an attAnpt to cheer
him, but ir was only a rap here
and one then- and it .-non ceased.
His speech was a labored argu-ment
of the old Republican story,
lie showed by his looks, his ac-tions
and every word be uttered
that he was trying to bolster up
a bad cause. He did not answer
a single question Mr. Ried asked
him. Bis only answer as io what
party he belonged to, was. that he
was a Liberal, which he said meant
a free man. lie said he had the
right, occupying that position to
examine the platform ot the Dem-ocratic
party and what in il was
good adopt it and reject the bad, :
and in the Republican platform do |
the same. His only direct charge
against Mr. Reid wasthat be voted
for prohibition. His whole speech
showed that be was what he was
because he would like to go to
Congress. Every one could sec he
was living to evade every charge,
and when lie had finished be had
never come squarely up to any of
the issues belwecn the two parties
Or those nude: discussion.
Mr. Reid in his rejoinder, asked
the people if Col. Kiln arils had
showed them where he stood. He
told them he stood squarely on the
Democratic platform and if they
were to wake him up at any time
in the night he could tell them he
was a Democrat. Ueexplained his
position on prohibition. That hi
had taken no pall in the prohibi-tion
campaign, that he was in fa-vor
of letting it stay where the
people had put it- That it ".is a
settled issue and was only brought
up in the canvass to effect some
body's prejudice. That Mr. Ed
wards had taught him prohibition
as wed as bis Democraticdoctrines,
ami produced a bill that Col. Ed-wards
introduced when a member
of the Legislature in 1872, as a
substitute for a bill then pending,
making it unlawful to sell liquor
within two miles of certain church-es,
which substitute made it un- |
lawful to make, buy or sell spirit-uous
or malt liquors within the
limits of the State, with a heavy
tine and imprisonment. That took
the old man by surprise. He de-manded
his authority. Mr. Reid
told him it had been taken from
the records.
Mr. Edwards took the stand and
the people went from the house in
an uproar. He denied knowing
anything about such a bill and
said that was all he wanted to say.
Reid gained a signal triumph here.
His speech was spoken of in the
highest terms by the whole crowd
and we are sure that lie "ill receive
the largest Democratic vote that
has been given in this county for
years. SPECTATOR.

In response to the resolutions ot
the National Democratic Conven-
Bion, Samuel .1. Tilden has written
tbn following letter:
GBAYSTOHE, Oct. 6th, 1884.
Mr. Chairman am! Qentleman of the
Committee.
I thank you for the kind terms in
which you have communicated the
resolutions concerning me adopted
by the late Democratic National
Convention. I share your convic-tion
that reform in the administra-tion
of the Federal government,
which is our great National want,
is indeed essential to the restora-tion
and preservation ofthe govern-ment
itself andean only be achieved
through the agency of the Demo-cratic
party, and by installing its
representative in Chief Magistracy
of the United States. The noble
historical record of the Democratic
party, the principles in which it
was educated, and to which it has
ever been in the main faithful, its
freedom from corrupt influences
which grew up in prolonged posses
sion of power, and the nature of the
elements which constitute it all
contribute to qualify it for that
mission.
The opposite characteristics and
conditions which attach to the Re-publican
party, make ii hopeless to
expect that that party will be able
to give a better government than a
debasing system of abuses which,
liming its ascendency have infect-ed
its official and political life in
this country. The Democratic par-ty
had its origin in the efforts of
the more advanced patriots of the
revolution to resist perversion of
our government from the ideal con
templated by the people. Among
its i inspicUOUS founders were Ben
jainin Franklin and Thomas Jeffer
son. Samuel Adams and John Han-
Cock, of Massachusetts; George
Clinton and Robert Livingston, of
New York, and George Wythe and
James Madison of Virginia.
From the election of Mr. Jeffer-son
as President in 1800, for CO
years the Democratic party mainly
directed our national policy. It
expanded the boundaries of the
Republic and laid the foundation of
all our national questions while it
preserved the limitations imposed
by the Constitution and maintained
si m ph-a ml pure systemsofdomestic
administration.
On the other hand the Republi-can
has always been dominated by
principles which favored legisla-tion
for the benefit of particular
classes at the expense of the peo-ple.
It has become deeply tainted
with abuses which naturally gre v
up during a long possession of un-checked
power, especially in a
period ofcivil war and false finance.
The patriotic and virtuous elements
in it are now unable to emancipate
it from the sway of selfish interests,
which subordinate public duty to
personal greed. The most hopeful
of the best citizens it contains de-spair
of its amendment except
through its temporary expulsion
from power. It has been boasting-ly
asserted by a modern Massachu-setts
statesman, struggling to re-eoneil.
i himself and his followers to
their Presipential candidate, that
the Republican party contains a
11 is proportionate share oft he wealth
and inntelligcnee of the country.
The unprincipled Graften, when
taunted by James II with bis per
Bonal want of conscience answered:
"That is true, but I belong to a
party that has a great deal of con
science." Such rcasoncrs forget
that the same claim has beer, made
in all ages and countries by the
defenders of old wrongs against
new reforms. It was alleged by
toriesoftbe American revolution
against patriots of that day : it was
repeated against Jefferson, and at-tcrwarda
against Jackson. It is
alleged by conservatives against
those who. iii England are now en-deavoring
to enlarge popular suf-frage.
.VII history shows that re-turn
s in government must not be
expected from those who sit on the
social mountain top enjoying the
benefits of the existing order of
things.
Even the Divine author of our
religion found his followers not
among the self-complacent Phari-sees,
but among the lowly minded
fisherman.
Tin' Republican party, largely
made up of those who live by their
wits and who aspire ill politics to
advantages over the rest of man
kind, similar to those whose daily
lives are devoted to securing gain
in private business. The Demo
era tic party consists largely nf
those who live by the work of their
hands and whose political action
is g vcmeil by their sentiments or
imagination. It results that the
Democratic party more readily
than the Republican party can be
moulded to the support of reform
measures which involve the sacri-fice
of selfish interests.
Indispensable necessity of our
times is a change ofadministration
in the great executive office of the
United States. This in my judge-ment
can only be accomplished by
the election of the Democratic can-didates
for President and Yice-

man Blaine is;" and he added: '•!

soon settled the matter, no com

\.« Y-rk Worl-I.,
Dr. W. E. Forrest, one of the
electors on the Republican ticket
j for this State, has resigned from
i his position because be cannot con-
! scientiously support J. G. Blaine.
Like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky came the following letter, ail
dressed to Mr. John 1). Warren,
the chairman of the Republican
State Committee:
"Sill:—I wish to tender my re-signation
as Republican elector for
this State. I am sorry to say that
/ cannot ssaaaJmliaailf *upport the
present nomineefor President,.James
<l. Maine. I remain,
Yours respectfully,
W. K. FOBREST."
Since the receipt of this letter a
few clays ago the members of the
State and National Republican
Committees have been at their wits'
ends to know what do about it.
They have carefully hushed up the
matter and have brought every in-fluence
to bear on Dr. Forrest to
induce him to withdraw his resig-nation.
But the Doctor has stood
firm to his convictions, and neither
threat of punishment nor promise
of reward could induce him to
promise to vote for a candidate
against the dictates of his con-science.
Said a friend of the Doctor's yes-terday:
"The Republican Sta'.c
Committee is in a terrible quand.i
ry. To call a special meeting to
till the vacancy caused by Dr. For-rest's
resignation would be to ad-vertise
the fact to all the world.
The committee knows that every
Republican will ask himself why
cannot Dr. Forrest, a lifelong
member of the party, who been
honored with the position ot an
elector, conscientiously support the
candidate of his party for Presi-dent
of the United States? And
it knows that the reasons which
have swayed Dr. Forrest will in-duce
thousands of Republicans to
follow his example in the general
voting.

A desperate effort to ea; ry North
Carolina for Blaiueia a feature of
the Presidential canvass, « hick has
attracted less attention than it
woii'd have received it a more ex
citing contest had not drawn the
public gaze in Ohio.
The Republican party in North
Carolina is led ill this campaign by-
Tyre York, a renegade Democrat
of the Miihoue stripe. He is the
Republican candidate lor Governor,
and is bestirring himself with a
good deal of energy.
The Democratic candidate for
Governor, Hen. Alfred M. Scales,
recently met with a 'Serious acci-det
which temporally interrupted
his personal canvass. Ceil. Scales
is deservedly popular—a strong
man before the people, because
they know him to be able and hon-est.
But the weightiest argument
against the Republican party in •
North Carolina, as in all other I
Southern States, is the record of
that party. The contrast between
the era of good stealing and the I
period of Democratic rnle la such a !
condemnation of Republicanism
that the men of this generation are
altogether unlikely to permit a re-turn
of the Republican party to
power. The Republican party in .
North Carolina loaded the State
with tens ot millions ot debt. It
had a career of reckless robbery.
The Democratic party has repaired
waste, restoied oonddeuce, intro-duced
honesty and economy, nnd
put the State Oil a good looting.
The Republican rate of taxation
for State purposes was eighty cents
00 the hundred dollars. Under
Democratic rule it has come down
to twenty live cents. Under Re
publican ride it cost, iii 1868, $430,.
985 to run the Legislature. Under
Democratic rule in 1882, the cost of
the Legislature was 957,478.
These an- average samples of the
arguments which Tyre York is com
pelled to face. The Republican
party must wait till its record is
forgotten before it can hope for
another lease of power in North
Carolina.
