.-"We one net. to raise a battle cry

thrown, down the walla and are now in
Jericho." This waa the triumphant note
that formed the happy prelade last
night to one of the moat powerful and
convincing exposition* of Democratie
principles oyer heard in North Carolina.
And it iittiagly expreseed the sentiment
of the meet magnificent aasembv of
Democrats been ia Forsyth eouaty since

Bat l|iaee who paihid the Court
Hsalljllri aa epoch making addrees,
the effect of whieh will be felt thresh
all this eoetioa of the State. For in the
aadieaee ware people not only from the
alty ead Forsyth, bat from the adjoin
ing eenatiee also. Many farmers from
Yadkin, Barry, Stekee, and other coun
tios asarby were bees tor the big to
baceo break yesterday, and some of
them were seen to stand around
the edges of the apditorum throughout
Mm eatire ateh-eas, which consumed
aboat two hoars. ? . ~

Mr.Bickett was at his iiest.rad in bis
tai ml table awaaer thrilled his bearers
to frwyn't and continued applause
while at other timee the crowds shook
with laaghter at stories that Vsnce
eoakl aot have teM mere effectively.
It woe truly a red-latter Occasion for
the Deasocraey of Faearth? anoceaaion
that, sogers well for a sweeping victory
for the county tieket. The speech was
one that inspired coufidende in a Demo
cratic breast, and if it did not make
rotes for the party, s public speech is
neeleas as a Votegntoh !>-:>*??_.,
Mr. Biokett devoted moat of his ad
dress to a discussion of the records of
the Democratic and Republiean parties
in National affairs, showing the utter
ridieulouanese of the protective tariff
system end paying his respects to Col
onel Rooeevelt as only Blekett could do.
A Boo<joet Fob Thx Ladies
There were a large number of ladies
preoent, and Mr. Bickett was particular
ly happy in his opening remarks, when
be retorted to them as a class of folks
ha had always taken great delight in
talking to from his youth up. He also
thought that the preeeace of the ladies
augured well for Democratic victory in
the county, and coined a proverb which
he credited to St. Paul, , "for where the
women are, there will the men be gath
ered together." Referring to the
brilliant torchlight proasaeion, ha aaid
he had not seen such a demonstration
since the days of 1900. In contempla
tion of the long line of vonng Demo
crats he was led to exclaim, "Whft op
timism, what courage, what power in
tliat spisadid line! In speaking to the
ytmng men 1 hope I may set before
them no unworthy ideal, bnt that I may
piteh this campaign upon the high plain
of togtc and love, and I ask you to fol
low only where reason and rightaous
oesfc lead the way.".
' Dkfinttion of a Democrat.
Me said if he was called upon to de
flBO * Democrat be would do It in two
words, "Cy Watson." And he paused
to fcay a deserving tribute to this stal
w#t champion of true Democracy.
Also he pointed the young men to their
leader in the National Campaign Wood
n>H Wilsom, whose life, he said, is a
reflation of the priacipliee of Democ*
raey, a man who is democracy in the
,fl?eji. In the State he pointed to Locke
Craig, "a nan with clean hands and
