GOVERNOR AVCOCK.
Atlniiln Ni'tw.
The people of the old North State
nave begun in realize that thev made
I a mistake when they did not insist
more imnnrhiniili lv upon the nnnii
Inntion of (ioreriior Aycock us vice
president of the L mteil States.
I It cannot lie denied that for several
I days pteceding the final election of
I the gentleman who was to occupy
J tu, w.om, on tm.
was languor, indilTereiiee and doubt
as to w ho would be the running mate
of tko Silent of F.sopus. They can
vassed the situation with great de
liberation, and the choice linally fell
n poll an aged, but entirely worthy,
Democrat from the state or West
Virginia.
The most critical caviller could
lind no Haw in the harness of Mr
Davis, but it would have been grati
fying to the people of North Caro
lma if they could have seen their
"favorite son" this term employed
in no hackneyed sense chosen as
Vice president of the United States.
The approaching campaign should
be nn aggressive one on the part of
the Democratic party. We have sat
hack supinely and assumed the de
fensive too iong already. It is high
time that we assume the aggressive.
To carry forward such a campaign,
it is at "least desirable that there!
should be a man on the ticket w in:
can speak.
Such a man, is (iovernor Ayeoe
The eloiiience of the chief executive
of the Iar Heel State is alisolut
unrivaled among t lie governor.'1, a
indeed among the ollicials whatever
mav ue their position ot tin- eutir
union. He was born with the gilt
of oratory.
He must have been "dipped in lb
Liir.v."
He has the persuasive charm
which belongs peculiarly to the poj
ular orator, lie can sway great
masses ot people in the same manner
that Abraham Lincoln twaved llieiil.
lie is eloiiiient, argumentative and
oratorical, w ithout ever once velazin
his grasp upon the linn thread of his
discourse.
So far as his individual personality
is concei ned, he is one of t he most
charming men in the South. He
numbers his friends by the legion',
and each and everyone of them was
more than anxious to see his name
placed before the national Demo
cratic convention as vice president of
the I nited States. 1 he poet tells us
that:

We are not prepared to subscribe
to the intimation that Governor Ay
cock's career has been warped, lit
is too great in mind and heart for
any sucli casual circumstance per
manently to effect his career, lint
the fact'remains that if there had
been some man wil li t he voice, the
vigor and the courage, phvsicallv
speaking, io place him in nomina
tion In-fore the 1'eniocraiic conven
tion, lie would have received a vote
nlneli would more than have Hatter-
I his vanity, and perhaps have
'cured fur linn the nomination,
ltat lioveriior Avcock is larger
than the vice presidency, lie is the
governor of one of the really great
states of the union. He is the chief
executive, be it remembered, of tin
state in w hich the .Mecklenburg de
claration of independence was signed.
I he people of that grand old state
chose him from among all their
worthy citizens as the rightful leader
of Deniociacv. They know him and
esteem him for his true worth. It
mutters little to Governor Aycock
that he is not the vice presidential
nominee. He is great enough with
in himself. Higher and larger honois
uml opportunities await him in the
future.
Not only does North Carolina re
cognize it, but the whole south real
izes it. His Jay will yet come, and
whatever may be the higher plane to
which the foltunes of politics elevate
him, he w ill reflect the greatest de
gree of credit on his native state and
on the south, over which he has
thrown the charming glamour of his
incomparable personality.
