Evidencing Enthusiasm in all Parts of the States. x Young Men Win Have Come to the Front in the Party Councils. Democratic Candidates Still Meeting With Discouragement. A REMARKABLY SMALL. GATHER ING TO WELCOME THEM AT NEW BERN IN SPITE OP BRASS BANDS AND FREE' RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION THE STATE LEAGUE1 ORGANIZATION. Raleigh, N. X?., May 4. The large and distinguished gathering of men prominent in every county of the state at the republican convention, together with the now acknowledged failure of the canvassing tour of the democratic candidates has opened the eyes of many people hitherto blind to the polit ical situation in North Carolina. The news of the meeting at New Bern to day at which only a small and very much "mixed" crowd greeted Mr. Ay cock and his companions has been too disheartening for the party leaders to conceal their chagrin. Great prepara tions were made for this meeting. Men were sent to New Bern to see that ev ery effort was made to draw out the. crowds, and it was expected that sev eral hundred '"red shirts" would take part in the proceedings. Free railroad transportation was offered to poop la in surrounding towns, but the hosts did not -materialize and the gathering was so small as to be recognized by every body as a distinct failure. j The success of the republican con ! vention the splendid ticket nominated, 1 with Judge Spencer B. " Adams at its had, and the eager enthusiasm and ! confidence of the delegates from all parts of the state, has greatly encour aged the party leaders. There ware many features of the convention that made it the most notable one ever hell by republicans in North Carolina, acd one of these was the mliny eloquent and able addresses made to the con vention. The most notable of these appeared in the Gazette, ' but there were others, some from young men who had never before taken part in a convention, that stirred the entire body by their spirit and eloquence. A speech that swept the convention off its feet with enthusiasm Was that of Augustus H. Price, of Rowan, son of Captain Chares Price, nominating Judge Ad ams. His rattling fire of clean cut in vectives, fine presence artdspendid de livery .advanced him immediately to the Dosition of a prime favorite. "When he mentioned Judge Adams' name the applause shook the bailing and the scene was one never to be forgotten by all who witnessed it. Chairman Walser waved a flag over the young man's head and the applause increased to a roar. Spencer Blackburn, who will be the nominee for congress in the Fifth dis trict, had a host of friends in the con vention who called him to the " "at form. His scoring of the democra ic disfranchising schemes, expressed what the convention felt on that line. "Why do they want the nego out of the way?" asked Mr. Blackburn. "They have got the negro out or the way. Who are they after? They ?n after the white men in the country whom they cannot control," and the western delegates and 'spectators led the applause. Every nomination was made by ac clamation and it was in the (nominat ing speeches that many short speeches of rare excellence were made, uscar j. Spears placed Cladius Dookery in nom ination for lieutenant governor. Henry C. Cowles paid a warm tribute to Thomas S. Rollins in naming him for auditor. Prof. J. J.

Holton eulogizea English and he was nominated amid applause. For delegates-at-large to the na tional republican convention. Rev. D. A. Long nominated Col. James E. Boyd, but Col. Boyd said that Senator Pritch ard was (the foremost man in the re publican party in North Carolina," and asked 'that he be first elected, nomi natlng him by acclamation This was approved by a rising vote. The west, em delegates were anxious that Charles McNamee should be sent to the nation al convention, and when T. A. Bailey nominated Henry P. Cheat-jam for a delegate the latter, in a neat speech, de clined in avor of Mr. McNamee. The resolution offered by Leutenant-Gov-ernor Charles Reynolds endorsing en ator Pri'tchard for Vice-President brought forth an ovation for the -senator in several rounds of applause. A large picture of President McKinley graced the arch above the stage sur rounded by the prevailing emblem in the convention the American flag, and every mention of his name was ap plauded, especially when he was eulo gized eloquently by J. R. McCrary, of Davidson county. One of 'the shorter" addresses that was well received was by Prof. BriCt, of Mitchell. He said: When the returns from the western part of the state are fully in they will convince the people of the middle part of the state and the eastern part of the state that the people of the western part of the state have be3n thinking out their industrial and political sab a 'tion. I am here to tell you that .hen we make these returns we shall speak to you in terms that will tell more than ever what the people of the western part of the sta'te are made of. Let me say in this connection that we prize liberty for liberty's sake in North Cai olina. I tell you that these sturdy mountaineers among whom I live may be unable to read the page that speaks. but they are too good to steal away the birthright of an American citizen. It may be they are not so learned, but it is true that they know 'too much po litically and feel too much religiously to cast a vote for the disfranchisement of any American citizen. I tell you as never before the people are determined that under God this party that proposes to trample upon their rights shall be defeated at the polls and no longer rule in North Car olina. Chairman Holton will nave able assis tance on the state committee in the work of the campaign. The new com mit teemen-at-large are Z. V. Walser, Carl Duncan, H. S. Harkkis, H. P.

SMALL CSOWD GREETS CANDIDATES AT NEW BERN Widely Advertised Demonstration a Complete Failure. N?w Bern, May 4. The democratic state candiaatee, on their tour of the sta' spoke in this city today. The widely advertised demonstration proved a complete failure, as the en tire audience consisted of only about 400 persor;3, men, women, children and negroes, most of whom were attracted by the band, which loyally did its oart toward enthusing the people of the city and making votes for the dem ocra'tic candidates. The candidates themselves did not make bo good an impression. They went over the question of the amend ment, repeating 'that tr-ev would not disfranchise any wnite man,- and mak- iner he most imoortant feature of their entire talks the cry of negro dom inaticn.

Captain Howe, a Barbourville military officer, who tes tified today in the hearing of Captain Culton, charged with complicity in the Goebel shooting, said Caleb and John Powers came to him ten days before the assassination and tried to get him to bring his company to Frankfort disguised as citizens.
