AN IMMENSE OUTPOURING OP UNITED DEMOCRATS In Support of Honest Government, Lower Taxation and Economy. Yesterday was a brilliant day in all respects. Not a cloud casta shadow upon the occasion. It was a day of jubilee for democratic re joicing, and from this whole section the people cane in streams to con tribute their presence and approval. The dsitinguished speakers, Messrs Fowlek Davidson, Finger and San derlin, reached the city on the 7:30 train. They were met at the depot by the Swannanoa River club, mounted, and in uniform, Maj. VV. E. Breese ,in command, Mr. T. M. Porter color bearer, who escorted them to the Battery Park hotel. By 9 a. in., the unterrified from the surrounding country began to pour into the city, and by ten chief marshal Natt Chambers, with his long corps of excellent assistants begun to organize the mounted guard for the procession, and by 11 o'clock the very streets were full of riders l carrying with them fiag3 and wearing the symbolic red ban danna. The procession went to Battery Park, received the speakers, and other distinguished guests, and returned to the Farmers' warehouse. The programme as heretofore stated, was faithfully observed, and most successfully so. All along the line of march the candidates were given heartv and continuous cbt-tis. AT THE WAREHOUSE. By 12 m. this spacious hall was iterally packed with people, a large number being ladies, and we do not exagerate when we say not half the crowd could get in. When we say that the crowd numbered from eight to ten thousand we do not overestimate. So soon as the concourse could get seated Hon. M. Hi. Carter, chairman, called the house to order, and announced that the meeting would be opened with prayer by Rev. W. S. P. Bryan, pas tor of the Church street Presby terian church. An earnest eloquent appeal was made to the God of all, for his benediction upoD us as a people. In a short but admirable speech Mr. Carter introduced the distin guishel North Carolinian, whose fidelity and integrity in all place's and at all times had made his name a source of pride tor all of our peo ple, tiie next Governor ot North Carolina, Hon. Daniel G. Fowle. The ovation here tendered Judge Fowle as he arose was inspiring in deed. It was sometime before hi3 eloquent words could be begun, and then ic was with evident emotion. The epontaniety and heartiness of the welcome was one calculated to arouse the emotions ot one who was thus made to feel he had a w.irm place in the hearts and the confi dence of his lellow citizen?. JUDGE FOWLE's SPEKCH Judge Fowle began his address about as follows: "Ladies, Gentlemen end Ft lloxo Cit izen8.: A man would have tj be more than a mun, to express his thanks to a North Carolina demo cratic audience, and especially is this true if the audience be gathered together in the mountains of our Western section, and in Buncombe. The old couplet "WeloTne all To Buncombe Hall." tings in my ears to-day as I stand before you, and my mind reverts to the great and good man, above whose threshold this cordial invita tion was ever placed Col. Edward Buncombe. "Your lofty mountains, your lovely vales, your romantic streams all seem to say Welcome," and the very grandeur of your mag- l nificent scenery whispers a thous and greetings to all. "hwannanoa nymph of beauty," (rousing cheers and applause from the Swannanoa club,) bids a warm welcome to those who wander along its banks, filled as they are with traditions of a race long since gone." Judge Fowle then congratulated the democratic party npon the action of the St. Louis convention, in nominating Grover Cleveland as their candidate for President of the United States. He was one ot the foremost democrats of the day, and an honest man, a good man, a great man. He con gratulated the old democrats, the young democrats, and the ladies who were democrats, upon the fact that Cleveland had followed the di vine injunction laid down in Gene-si-, and had taken unto himself a wife from amongthe fairestdaughters Of the democracy, realizing the fact that it was not good for man to be alone. This action on the part of the President, Judge Fowle eid, clearly demonstrated that the Chief Executive of the nation was a read er of the scriptures, and so long as a President or ruler used that great Book as his guide, the country was safe. Judge Fowle's references to Hod. Allen G. Thurman, as the grand old Roman, were cheered, and when he said that the "red bandana will wave in Jtriamph in November" the applause was roof lifting and bandana bankerchiefs were waved by the ladies and cent lemen in the vast audience. Judge Fowle'slpatriotic allusions to the flag of the Union a nag around which memories clustered lrom Washing ton in his tomb at Mt. Vernon to Hendricks who lies buried in In- dianapolis" were elegantly put, and eloquently conceived under this flag our flag, the poor, and dis tressed lived with expectancy and hor e. It was around this flag that the democratic party, the defenders ot constitutional liberty and con stitutional authority gathered, hen alor Vance was loudly eulogized by the speaker, as was also ex-Gov ernor Jarvis upon the records these gentlemen had established for them selves while governors of the old North State. At this luncture a number of benches gave way in front of the hall, and above the dm and cheers that ensued the voice of the speaker was heard to exclaim, "That is not half equivalent to the breaking down of the republican party that will take place in Novem ber." Tumultuous applause. The Judge continued his remarks, ex posing the deceitiulness and duplic ity of the republican party towards the people whom they had so often times attempted to disgrace. The republicans, he said, had violated eyery portion, part and parcel of the constitution, and were now again hefore the people asking an endorsement of their ruinous policy; this was supremest impertinence of the ace. Judge Fowle said that he loved North Carolina; every foot of her sou from the seacost to the mountains; he loved her people, and he did not want to see them again placed under a regime of rad ical rule and ruin. He loved the eternal, immutable principles of de mocracy; the principles of liberty, more than home or place. The republican party had violated all the principles of civil liberty, and the great principles of the constitu ti n. It was enrontery on their part to po3e as the friends of the people, and professed to be of the people. Will you ever consent to allow thee men to take away from you the writ of habeas corpus, and all the blessed privileges of civil lib- tn v? Crits of no; no! Judge Fowle next referred to the surplus, and dealt with this point oi his argu ment in a masterly manner. The county government the old system and its curses were fully and freely discussed. There vere twice as many people in Asheville to-day as he had expected, and he must say that ho and his colleagues had been granted the most cordial and extensive dem onstration in Asheville than any where else in the State. Cheers, fol lowed this acknowledgment, and the distinguished speaker, then turned his attention to the auction sale of-poor white people in Jones county, by radical authorities in 1S73. The Judge raked the misera ble, hypocritical imposters Jfore and aft, while on this subject, and not a few of the "truly loyal" who were present writhed and squirmed in their seats, as their diabolical mis deeds were shewn up by the speaker. Democracy, the Judge said, be lieved in white man's rule. The civil liberty of the people is sale in their hands. It is not safe in the hands of the negro. He felt kindly towards the colored man, but he could not be trusted with the ad ministration of the government. The twenty-nine eastern counties under negro rule in the East paid thiity-eight percent of the taxes of the State. Taxation is cheaper un der democratic administration, said the speaker, and produced two tax receipts one bigned by Orlando Hubbs, sheriff ot Craven county, for 8172.06 in 1877; and another, signed by a democratic sheriff for $64 61 in"l880, upon the same and identical propeity. He referred to the repentant Gen. Barringer, Col. Lott Humphrey, Jake Hallyburton, J. P. Bobbins, and others, who had seen the folly of their ways and left the ranks of a party whose perfidy and. rascality even they could no longer stand. The best men in the party were leaving it, said Judge Fowle, and I doubt if there will be any republican party by November. He quoted Judge Russell's predic tion of a democratic victory by 40,000. He exploded the protective theory of the g. o. p., and likened it to the religious services conduced by the two men who were in a Binking boat and passed around the hat for a collection. Republican protection meant passing around ' the hat nothing more. Put on more tax, is their cry; they know nothing about government. Judge Fowle related his Massachusetts experience. - He found the manufacturer living in elegant splendor, while the laborer was liying in hovels, half clothed and half starved. This was protec tion. Protecting American indus tries; it was all bosh. of - the veriest description. Clear away the war tax. I am in favor oi the repeal of the internal revenue tax. The re publicans had a chance to repeal it the other day when Tom Johnston brought the question before the House. Did they do it? Not a bit ot it The Mills bill, did not come up to the republican idea. They don't want to do it and they will not do it as long as they can help it. They have dodged- it eyery time. The republicans are constantly making war upon the constitution the constitution they should sup port and protect. They are dying from their own rottenness and cor ruption, and we will bury them next November. He paid a most eloquent tribute to Lee and Grant, Custer and Stonewall Jackson, and said that he wanted to see a union of hearts, a union of hands, a union for ever. .His closing remarks were peculiarly eloquent, and were inter rupted by frequent cheers and roars of applause from the audience. A magnificent bouquet of cut flowers was presented the speaker at the close ot his remarks, and his ac knowledgment of thanks was as fol lows. ' "On Monday before, the State democratic convention met in 'Raw eigh, I was seated in my 'office in that city, when Daniel G. Fowle, jr, aged seven years, entered, and lay ing his hand npon my knee, looked up into my face, and said: "Father, are you a candidate lor uovernor l "I looked at the brightseyed little lellow for a momeut. and replied "Yes, son.'' "The little fellowVeyes dropped to the ' floor and after thinking for several "minutes he slapped me on the breast with his tiny hand, and said, "Well, .1 am I am lor you!" And so it is with me, my kind friends, Daniel G Fowle is for you." Tremendous cneers.and applause. t :. MAJ. FINGER'S 8PEECIL,, u - Capt. Carter arose and introduced Hon. Sidney M. Finger, of Catawba, democratic nominee tor superin tendent of public instruction, who said; Ladies and Genlleiiien: You have my sympathies and my congratula tions. ' My congratulations .at the magnificent speech you - have just heard, and mv sympathy for vou in your uncomfortable condition. I will make a contract with you If you will give me your attention, I will be brief in my remarks. We are in the midst of a great democratic campaign. As is the custom, we are here to renew the principles and pledges of our great . uty, and work for their maintenance. The principles of our party are the true principles of the constitution. They are the principles of the people. Sift them, boil them, analyze them; you will find them always true." The speaker referred to Allen G. Thurman, the noblest Roman of them all, amidst applause and cheers. He said that this was a year in which the candidates of both parties would be weighed in the scales the democrats would not be found wanting. His review of . the surplus, it9 removal, etc., was at length, and he ac cused the republicans with fraud to their country and fraud to their constituency. He also discussed the law of taxation, fully and freely. The democrats had called for a re duction; therepuolicans had refused to aid in ths alleviation of the peo ple. The vaults at Washington are being enlarged in order to accom modate the accumulation of a sur plus that is of no earthly use. All this was caused by unnecessary taxation; it is unjust It i3 extrav agance. It is a republican meas ure. I will pledge my word that every lady and gentleman who pur chases articles pays unnecessary tax Upon those articles. 1 he democratic party has not been in power since the war, and the person who says it has tells a lie out ot tne whole cloth. They have offered the republicans a chance to repeal the obnoxious war tax. . lhey oflered them the Morrison bill; the republicans re fused to accept it because, as they said, it made a horizontal cut. They didn't want any horizontal cut, by any means. Next the dem ocrats offered them the Mills . bill, and they promptly jumped up and said, "we don't like the Mills bill. No Mills bill for us. We 11 vote against it." And they will vote against any other bill thai the dem ocrats may offer regarding the abo lition of unnecessary taxation. As long as they draw the color line am going to draw the color line, und advise you to draw it. I am much obliged to you for the good will you have manifested to wards ine since 1 have been m of fice, and I will ever do the best I can to advance the .cause of dem ocracy throughout the State." Mai. ringer took his seat, ana Capt. Carter presented Hon. Theo. F. Davidson who said: MR. DAVIDSON'S REMARKS. Mu Friends: I shall not make any speech to "you to day. I have been speaking to -you for the last twenty years, and 1 don't know that I could tell you anything that you have not" already heard. 1 shall give way to my friend, Mr. Sander lin, who will address you. Iam gratified to see so many of my friends here to-day, to do honor to Judge Fowle and his colleagues. V I thank you tor this most most mag nificent demonstration the largest yet held in the'State, and . I am de lighted. 1 am. more tnan delighted to see the democracy of Buncombe again united. You know we had an election here two years ago in : which somebody got hurt Well, I was in Raleigh at that . time, and as soon as the news reached the city friend of mine came around, and said: ''See hereDavidson, what is the matter with the democrats m iiun- combe. They seem to be fighting each other?" "Oh," said I, "You don't " understand our people up there. They are fighting democrats, and this year they had nobody to fight but themselves. So . t1" fought each other for the sake : fight." I ! understand . that ' there will be a little meetinp to-night at which time vou-will hear . irom me. REV, GEO. W. SANDERLIN, Of Wayne, candidate for State. Auditor, was next introduced; by chairman Carter. Mr Smderlin, ac knowledged the cheers' and applause which' greeted his appearance by saying;.--, . :. '. -:,x; vv?-.'- , Fellow Citizens of the County of Buncombe, Ladies and Gentlemen: "It is with great satisfaction that 1 stand before vou 1 today, and I am truly glad to see so many of the good citizens of the good county or uun combe gathered - together here. I am a minister of the gospel, and as pe culiar to my calling, I feel . that I must take a text, and tliat text is: JtThe Young Ilea's Democratic ClaU of K"orth Carolina." He eulogized the clubs in complimentary terms and likened their organization throughout the State unto the building of the beacon- fights upon the mountain peaks of 'auld Scetia" by the clans who sought to make an offensive or defensive-warfare upon maranders or other clans. The; organization of qem crauc cluDs- in North Carolina wcr- the beacon fires of. democracy, nui - .manure upon radicalism nad bee, fairly, begun. Beacon fires had bee 'kted at Wilminsrton. Durham. Rale! a, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Gold, lord, Greensboro, Asheville, anci c Lher places, and they were burn ing L rightly. These fires are calling the democratic clans together, and Diauiag us to go forth and meet the enemy. The Young Men's Demo cratic clubs will accomplish noble er.ds. r 2 her will organize the partv r-VLY7 T-Jtfe, nd form a nuclei J a Ui -aoaooHkey f-the oicTKorTu State will cluster and march forward to victory. He eave the biblical origan of the word club. He said their was a club around when David met Goliath and that Goliath was struck with that club and bit the dust. So shall it be in November next when the great republican Go liath shall be met at the polls by the democratic clubs; in every hamlet, village, town and city of North Carolina, and there made to bite the dust as did Goliath of old. Mr. San derlin's entire speech was one of the finest we ever heard, and we regret that it cannot be produced here in full. He handled.every point nicelv. and well settled the fact that prohi bition could not hope to succeed this year." His address was frequently in terrupted by applause from the au dience, and his anecdotes were nicely put, and always pointed to a moral that was true and effective. At the conclusion of Mr. Sander- lin's speech, that favored, honored son, of Buncombe, GEN. EOBT. B. VANCE delivered the closins" speech of tne evening. To say that it was elegrant would not describe it. Floating- along- upon a sea of memories of the past, the speak er s words were those of elo quence and murmurinsrs of the heart. The old days of the war, the prisons at Camp Chase and Fort Deleware; the privations and sufferings of the boys who wore the gray; the magnanimity of Allen G. Thurman and his noble wife; the purity of the great dem cratic party; its fidelity to the people; the principles; purposes and ends; the republican party; its treachery, deceitfulness and practiced duplicity, towards the people, and tin explanation of Mr. Levi P. Morton's connection with thespacivl tac .bands of North Carolina fc the amount of $2,000, 000, and interest were all elo quently and forcibly explained to the assembled multitude by the great and good man whom all North Carolina, democrat and republican loves to honor. The exercises of the day were then announced to be at an end by chairman Carter, and the im mense crowd, after listening to three hours of solid, substantial and truthful eloquence, dispersed to their respective homes. At nirnt, a brilliant demon stration was bad at Battery Park and speeches were made by Messrs. Sanderlin, Busbee, Fin er, Coxe, McLoud and Judge 'owle. Maior Breese with Swan- nanoa torch light legion was there and a most 'enthusiastic speech making and jolly good time was had. , BALLOON ASCENSION. At night about three thousand people witnessed from the public square, the ascension of a mon ster illuminated balloon, which was sent up by the Asheville de mocracy in honor of the distin guished party. ' - Truly, democracy' was on her own stamping ground yesterday, and the day, the parade, the speakers and the speeches, will not soon be forgotten by those who were gathered together here. : NOTES OF THE CHEAT MEETING. .

Holt, candidate . for Lieutenant-Governor, greatly to the regret of all , our people, was de tained at home by sickness and could not" participate in the grand rally yesterday. ; " Old democrats and new ones for that j matter left town yesterday evening with the firm conviction that nothing can stay the current of popular enthusiasm with which the people of the State and county now possessed. The designers and decorators of the speakers' stand at the Farmers' warehouse yesterday deserve great credit lor the very, handsome and tasty manner in which it was done. It was fully as well djne as the stand which was prepared for Presi dent Cleveland at Atlanta last fall. "Uncle Tom" Stevens is as fine looking a ipecimeu of mountain democrncy as Buncombe eountv af fords. Yesterday, in the precession mounted on his . powerful black horse, prancinj proudly beside the column, he blew bugle blasts for honest democracy that sounded far and near. He never appeared to better advantage. Judge Moore adjourned court yes terday from 10 o'elock till 5. The Judge say3 that attorneys, plain tiffs, defendants, and witnsssa all deserted the court room, and that he was therefore, in self-defence, obliged to adjourn. That was risht Judge give them a chance to hear sound doctrine on good government spoken by the State's best men. During the speaking yesterday at the Farmers' warehouse, several benches gave way under tiie heavv weights they were forced to sustain, and fell with a crash to the floor. Judge Fowle, beiog interrupted by the motuentarv confusion, said: That is nothing to the break-do -."n the republicans will sustain in No vember." The cheers shook foun dation and ceilinsr. The massive and ha:idsomo face of Judge Fowle, the good-natured and jovial face of Sanderlin, and the strong features of Finger and David son,' surrounded as they vere by the earnest m?n 01 Buncombe on whose countenance beamed intelligence and love of county, made a fitting picture for so attentive and intelli gent an audience to gaze upon as greeted them yesterday. Well may the democracy be proud to support them. When the rear of line of the pro cession had passed out 01 ratton avenue into Church street yester day, the great crowd filling the streets and vacant, spaces there. made a rush up Pa' ton avenue to public square, to be again in posi tion lor view. As they raced up the ayenue, a spectacle was presented rarely seen. Ladies, old men, young men, boys, goato, dogs, and colored republicans, all raced like mad, and for a moment the winner seemed in doubt, but finally the ' strong and hardened muscles of a young granger with suitably decorated hat, bandana, flags, &c, got the verdict; a fleet-footed city urchin was placed second. The deliv which caused the late arrfvatjf JudgrFotfle and wis party in Abbeville yesterday moru ing was the sleeping car ar.d a coach being derailed at a point b-j-low Salisbury during the niht be fore. The train was backing slowlv and somehow the coach ran off the rails on the cross tit-s. Also by the engine bre iking down at or near Statesville.
