Greensboro, Aug. 28. The republican
state convention met here tpday, with
nearly one thousand delegates. The
splendid and orderly assemblage filled
the opera house.' It was a convention
calculated to strike terror to the organ
ized democracy of the state, for it was
not only numerous, but it was com
posed of men of ability and prominence
in every branch of professional and
busiess life throughout the state, and
men .familiar with political - affairs for
a generation m worth Carolina declare
the state has never seen the equal of
this republican convention in any po
litical gathering.
The convention was well entertained
by Greensboro. A fine band f of mu
sicians, ; that came to the city at the
head of the Randolph, county delegation
of a hundred men, played patriotic airs
at intervals during, the convention. .. ..

iY:m Chairman J,Ci- Prit chard called

al dress of welcome on behalf of the
city of Greensboro. Mr. Douglass wel
comed the convention "the greatest city5
of North Carolina: great in what she IS,
and" im what she promises to be." He
spoke of the peculiar fitness of Greens
boro as a state convention city, and of
her generous spirit of hospitality. The
democrats of the city, he eaid, joined
with the republicans in welcoming the
republican conventioin.
He referred briefly to the industrial
success of the state, well typified in
Greensboro, and to the relation of po
litical, action to this industrial develop-
ment, adding that a ' man was false to
his state as Well as himself who turned
aside from his belief in men and meas
ures that would promote this progress
to- follow blindly a course dictated by

Hon. Zeb Vance Waiser replied to tihe
address of welcome. He referred to
the cordiality of the invitation that I
had been extended, to the convention y fwhen J. R. McCreary of Lexington ad
Greensboro and paid a warm tribute io vanced to the platform wdth a. fine bou-
the city. ."Knowing the heartfeld di?-
sire manifested by the citizens of this
city," said he, "irrespective of party,
that we should come here and the
hearty welcome we have received, '? I
say all hail Greensboro! We are proud
that we are with you today."
Senator Pritchard then addressed the
convention. The hall was already filled
except as to a seat here and here on;,y
except as to a seat nere ana yiere
the floor of the hall, and the-gallery
was ' crowded -Ijefore ' the senator had
proceeded far and. remained so; during
the hour and a half of the delivery of
his address. The senator spoke with
great force,, and was listemed to - at
tentively. He was frequently applaud
ed.
The first applause in which the whole
house joined thunderously was when he
v,
referred to Theodore Roosevelt as
the white house at this time.
A nor-
tion of the speech that was followed
so was the senator's
discussion of thejJ
conduct of the finances of the state, in
which he contrasted republican' and
democratic- achievements.
His denouncement Of the impeach
ment proceedings brought forth ap
plause. There was laughter at the
democratic claim that Governor .Ay
cock's administration was responsible
for the increase in cottoni mill building
in the state; also when it was men
tioned that Aycock in his campaign
'talked economy and Jeffersojiian sim
plicity and when elected asked for an
increased isalary and- run up the ex
penses of the executive mansion'.
There was liberal applause at the
mention of the names of Congressimen
Moody and Blackburn. There was a
roar of laughter when the senator, al
luding to the new offices created by the
last)-legislature and absorbed by mem
bers of the same legislature, aid that
they had advanced the theory that the
"laborer has a Hen on Che Job." His
remarks in favor of the education of
the children of the state were roundly
applauded as well as his words on the
republican record in the state on the)
school question.
His remarks on the elimination of the
race issue'from politics, his statement
Tnrra q T-v iina Tint- t"he 'nrODer
man to be chief justice, and that Clark's
o1t ii nmmii nomination for the
democratic convention showed the pow
erful grasp of the machine on the po
litical affairs of the state were features
of 'the speech -that evoked strong dem
onstrations from the convention.
"This is the brightest day for .repub
licanism in the Old North Btate. Bus
iness mien are turning to the party, of
progress, reason amid prudence,' was
cheered by the entire convention.. In
clOsihg Senator Pritchard said : "If
God gives me strength, I propose to can

paign." He alluded to his challenge to

DISCUSSES ISSUES
Greensboro, Aug. 28. In his speech
before the state convention today Sen
ator Pritevhard said:
It is highly gratifying to have the
pleasure of addressing the large and
intelligent audience which greets me on
this occasion. We have at last reached
that (period in our history as a state
when the issues raised in a political cam
paigns ought to be considered from a
purely business standpoint. In order
that we may act intelligently when we
come to cast our votes in November
next, it is highly important that each
citizen in the state should study the
various questions that are presented to
US
for our consideration, and an at-
tempting to reach a correct conclusion
as to which political party is entitled

It Is not my purpose , to review our
political history , as a -nation, beyond
President Harrison's administration,

dent Harrison's administration had been

department was in first class condition.
