The campaign was dulyc opened
in North Carolina last night by a
grand Democratic ratification meet
ing. Wilmington, with her usual
patriotism, was aglow with torches
and bonfires, and music was in the
air. At 8:30 o'clock the Young Mens
Democratic Club, - preceed by the
Cornet Concert Club, marched from
the City Hall to the Orton Hotel,
where the speakers of the occasion
were awaiting them. After the
carriages containing the - speakers
had fallen in line they proceeded ka
the stand on Third street, where ah
immense throng: of ladies and gen
tlemen had assembled. 1
Arriving at the stand, the meeting
was called to order by Mr' John D
Bellamy, Jr., Chairman of the-New
Hanover County Democratic Execu
tive Committee, who nominated the
following gentlemen for its perma
nent officers ?-
President Hon. Charles M. Sted-
man. :
Vice Presidents' G. W. Williams,

Secreta.ries Reporters of Wil
mington Democratic Press.
Maj. Stedmaii, -upon taking the
chair, thanked the people for the
honor conferred of presiding oyer
such a erlorious meeting, and said if
it was intended by this ratification
for the people of the Cape Fear sec
tion to show their ,devotion to the
Democratic party, it was of no pur
pose. The people of this section
had always been, were now and
would ever be the champions of the
tmrtv UDoh which depend the hon
or, the integrity and welfare of our
State. He referred to Grover Cleve
land as a man of destiny and com"
pared him with Mahomet and Stone
wall Jackson, and with him was
coupled that ideal Democrat, A. G.
Thurman, of Ohio, who had always
stood up for Southern rights against
the ReDublican leaders, who tried to
degrade Southern manhood- and
womanhood. He said that victory
was in the air; every breeze fore
told it. The Republicans, through
one of their leaders, conceded 40,000
majority in the State, he placed it at
60,000. He stated that the Republi
cans were -endeavoring to rorm a
coalition with the Prohibitionists
and with Mr. Belva Lockwood, but
neither of them would have them.
Maj. Stedman then introduced
the next Governor of North Caro
lina, a man pre-eiiiiueut for- his elo
quence and integrity, Hon. Danie1
G. Fowle, of Wake.
Judge Fowle was received with
three cheers by the Young Men's
Democratic Club. "He. thanked the
Club and those present for its great
enthusiasm, and said that here 112
years ago the people of the Cape
Fear section won the first battle of
American, Independence, and it was
extremely proper that the first' bat
tle of this great contest against the.
Republican party should be com
menced here under the leadership
of our gallant and chivalrous Chair
man, Charles M. Stedman. He
congratulated them on the action of
the St. Louis Conventidn -in nomi
nating Cleveland and Thurman. He
spoke of the glorious victories won
under Vance, Jarvis and Seales,and
the victory in this year of Demo
cratic grace would be so great as to
sweep out of existence the remnants
of Republicanism. The Republican,
party, deceitful and inconsistent,
was appealing to a" constituency
which it had betrayed, to a people
it had degraded claiming to defend
the weak, it has helped corporations
and monopolists; claiming to be . a
friend of the' laboring . man, it has
placed at the head of its National
ticket a man who was ready to sub
due them with cannon and musket.
Posing as the friend of naturalized
citizens, it had nominated a .man
who said the Irish, German and
other foreigners had no right here;
but was known as "Chinese Ben." I
In fo'uryears'iubre-''-4aeowIe.
said, the 'Democratic party, would
b in full nower. nd then the
South,' the birth-place and home of
statesmanship, would be more fully
represented and would have a place
on. the Presidential ticket.
As tie concluded and spoke of the
bells pealing out like the Aztecs of
old, reminding them of danger and
urging them to the fray, the town
clock struck and was a happy coin
cidence. -,
Attorney General Davidson was
next introduced. T , He said ; that it
was well these meetings should be
gin in the chief commercial city of
the State. They : would find the
Piedmont and mountain "section
close on their heels in the fight.. His
only objection to Cleveland had
Been that he did not hate Radicals
enough, but his tariff message con
verted him. Gen. Davidsons-speech
was excellent and to the point.
Maj. S. M. Finger was the next
speaker. He said that the St. Louis
Convention, like our meeting to
night, just ratified the nominations
the people had already made, r He
called attention to Mr , -Dockery's in
consistency on the county goverrf
ment system, and said he believed in
a rule by intelligence and character,
and the West would stand by the
East. Maj. Finger is an earnest
and enthusiastic speaker, and was
listened to with marked attention.; '
Rev. Geo. -W. Sanderlin, nominee
for State Auditor, was'then introz
duced.- His remarks were addressed
principally, to the young Democracy.
He compared the meeting last night
with the gatheri ng ojf the clans in
Sco'tland, and the burning" tar bar
rels with the beacon fires being
lighted on the hills of that far away
country. The young men were
lighting tne nres ana that was a
good oinen. The Deinocratie party
contained the principles of perpetual
youth and all who drank of them
were, so endowed. Therefore all
men however old, v were eligible
members of Young Men's Demo
cratic Clubs. Eyery person liked to
study words., i here was one name
in this section which was worthy of
study, ': Steady-man by euphony be-
canie the gallant and -chivalrous.
Stedman, whose motto is "Be true
and fear not. Let all the ends thou
aim at be thy country's, . truth's,
and God's." He urged the young
men to "spread themselves," and re
tired amid loud and long continued
applause. ' . .: - ; :
Capt. W. H. Kitchen, of Halifax
count v, was next introduced and his
speech- was entertaining; and in
structive. His remarks were re
ceived with mu ch applause. He
said he was born a Democrat and he
never wanted to die if tie did not die
a Democrat. He was born a white
man arid wanted to be carried off
like one of the p rophets of old if he
did not die a white man. Captain
Kitchen . discussed the tariff "and
made most of his speech upon the
color line. In conclusion, he said
that while he had the .kindest feel
ing for the colored , man, yet this
was a white man's government and
they would govern it, and they
oucht to do so because of their in
telligence.
He referred to the principles of
the party which all the candidates
represented, and paid a lovely trib
ute to Col. Waddell and; Maj. Sted
man Cape Fear's noblest sons
which was received with much ap
plause and enthusiasm.
Hon. S. J. Pemberton, of Stanly,
was the next speaker," He spoke
briefly of Grover Cleveland and
what he represented, and contrasted
him with the Republican candidate.
He referred : to Dockery as Gen.
Dockery under Holden, and made
good points against " "My Son Oli
ver." Mr. Pem berton will , doubt
less be heard from again before tfie
campaign is over, and will haye time
to discqss the issues of the day.
The Hon. Alfred M. Waddell was
not down on the bills for a speech,
but whenever a speaker retired, he
was loudly and enthusiastically call
ed for. He paid no attention to the
demonstrations at first, but at last
there was such an outburst of en
thusiasm and so unanimous was the
call that he felt jconstrained to go
forward. r? Alter getting warmed up
in the discussion of the politics in
volved in the campaign,' he had. to
conclude,' as the hour was getting
late. - He retired amid continued
nonlause. n midst " wtiich .the band
pn. , --z- -
When the band had ceased ; play
l . : v. . ' -,'Sllt Vi
ing me meeting was aismisscti
thus ended one of the most enthusi
astic meetings ever.held in Wilming
ton, and for the success of which
too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon the Young Men's Democratic
Club;
and
Iveslrned to His Fate.
Stephen Freenian, the condemned
rapist, will pay the penalty, of his
crime - on the gallows to-morrow.
Al I the arrangements have been
made and he is now only awaiting
the arrival of the hour to be swung
into eternity. A "Review reporter
visited the jail this morning. He
found Freenian on his knees -en
gaged in prayer, but when he was
addressed he caine forward and'ebn
versed freely on the subject of his
execution. He' still persists in his
innocence,; and says that he is fully
resigned to his fate and ready to die.
He appears cheerful and says he
slept? "well last night. .
The reporter also "examined the
gallows, which is within ten feet of
his cell. The rope to be used on this
occasion is an ordinary manilla one,
three-quarters of an inch . in diam
eter, which hangs from the, ceiling
above and which moves heavily as
it is forced to and fro by the gentle
breeze as It wafts its' way througti
the prison. The fatal knot is al
ready tied and fills one with awe as
he looks upon it, realizing the horri
ble task it will fulfil to-morrow. --
j A Pig Thief Caught.
John,.Wescott, colored, who. liveg
about six miles ; f roin the city over
theNortheast river, has been losing
his pigs for some time post. Last
Sunday evening tie caught the thief.
He was out on the road, near his
house, when he heard, his pigs
squealing as if something was catch
ing them. He ian to the house, got
his gun, an old musket, and went to
see what was the trouble, when he
got there, he found that a six foot
alligator had killed another of the
pigs and was helping himself - to '
supper of fresh pork. John shot at
the alligator and wounded him
when tie started for the river, bu
Wescott picked up a fence rail and
killed: him. Wescott says that he
has lost twelve or fifteen pigs this
summer by alligators.
