Hall, in a neat and 'eloquent speech, introduced Gov. .Thomas J.;Jarvis. He claimed for .him that of all . the men who bad held the high and impor tant position of Governor, none 'had won for themsel vesmore cred it or deserved more honqr than the present Governor of North ' Carolina." UnJcr kk, guidance the mate rial advancement of ihe State had been silch to cause the astonishment of its peo ple while peace and prosperity reigned in all its borders. He described his conduct in the Legislature during the days of re construction, and warmly complemented the 'manly course he persued in de fence of his State and - people. a j : GOV. JABV7S SPEECH. ; Gov , Jarvis then arose, amid the shouts of tbe assembly, and a blaze of fireworks. He commenced his speech in a clear strong vice, distinctly audible to all his hearers, and continued for about two hours, firing into the Republican party his shots of logic, facts and eloquence. The Governor began by saying that all anthority exercised in this country was derived, from the people, aid they had it in their, power to prevent the enactment of bad laws by putting into office men who would be true to their trusts and mindful of the people's interest. j He said that he never had known a law nfade by a Democratic Congress, and sign ed by a Democratic President, ; that had bWnsleclared unconstitutional; while, on tile other hand, act after act made by a Re publican ' Congress and signed by their President; bad been, adjudged unconstitu tional by a radical Republican Supreme Court He cited in substantiation of the above, issertion the reconstruction acts, ku klux acts, , and civil rights legislation. The reconstruction acts, he said he declared be fore a Boston Audience. had dona more barm to the South than all the bullets shot by Northern armies. - . ' i- fTheku kliix - acts; after filling ) the Northern persons with some of the noblest , and bravest among -us,( some of whom I yielded up their lives in. jails and peniten tiaries, while others . returned home with health wrecked and constitutions battered apd shattered from hardship" endured and miseries suffered In- their prison houses, were declared - unconstitutional. : The civil rights acts had been tested by the inferior courts I for years, with . a decision against them every . time, . and their unconstitu tionality was finally determined by the j3u preme Court. And . thus through the long catalogue of acts made by. Republicans. ; He then paid a glowing tribute to Gov. Cleveland,-asserting that in every position in which ' he had been placed as Sheriff f Mayof; Governor he had been true to his trust ;' and the people, recognizing his fideli ty.had determined to elect him' to the high est position in their gift. 't ' i. He then turned aside from national topics and addressed himself to what he termed his first love; his last love, his , unceasing and undying love the State of North Caro lina. In no period of his' life, from .the time whe'n a poor boy until now, his heart has never beat but in love for his State, and his highest aspirations have-been for the prosperity of her people.

The best of order prevailed and the speaker kept then undivided attention from beginning to end ! Let, us have some more speeches like this one, and let Gov. Jarvis cheer us with his voice and genial manner again and again, during this campaign. j The Cornet Concert Club rnished the music for the occasion; and it goes without spying, that that' part' of .the programme Was enjoyed by all. . .. : jThree rousingheers were' given at the close of the meeting for both the National and State tickets.
