iroR THIRD DISTRICT DEMOCRATS
a I Two things are needed just now in
Wilmington. First, every Democrat
shoul.l rcgistpr properly. Second,the
Ihole strength of. the Democracy
sLoalA W utilized. Organization of
lvr most systematic kind should be
ciTccted. ir there is organization
there w ill he 'general registration. In
'th.L' fiiini District thTre is more or
fess of apathy. Col. Green ought to
be electt'tl by at least 2,000 majority
That is to say, if every man; in the
District not a Radical would vote for
liiin he would receive thjat majority
.at the lowest calculation.
If we are not -in error
there were
some' 7,000 men in 18 1 8 in the Third
District who refused to- go to the
polls. Of this number some 4,800
were Democrats, as may be; ascer
tained by taking Col. -WaddefTs ma
jority in 1876 and then Rnssell's ma
jority in 1878 as a basis of calcula
tion. Why should Democrats hesitate
Id do their .duty in this important
-campaign ? They, cannot - possibly
desire the election of jjjir. Canaday,
the Radical candidate. , ; jf. so, they
are very curious Democrats,; for, Mr.
Canaday scarcely holds one principle
. in common with tne
Demoeratic
party. It will be a -curious
j -
way to
maintain your own principles by se
lecting a servant to carry them , out
jlk violently antagonizes them and
will trample the last one ,of them un
der foot. If you hitch Canaday to
tii Democratic wagon you will never
getil up the hill.. If yon refuse to
vote at all you aid Canaday to that
ex'tent. You- make; his contest the
easier and lessen therebyj his chances
of tlefeat. You are in fact putting
a log before the wheels of the Detn
oratic wagon. If a man who . pre
tends for one moment to bp a Dem-
oevat votes' for Canaday
then he is
tail-board
hitching a horse on to the
of the wagon and is trying not only
to stall it but to pull it down hill. . I
Are the Cape Fear- Democrats

of course he is the Revenue- fellow
of whom we write is. his inability
to draw a crowd. He is hardly as
much of a success as Dockery, Jim
Leach and Charles Price. This Radi
caltrio have spoken to the smallest
gatherings .sometimes ever heard of
in the State.- In fact, 1 Dockery on
two or three occasions had. scarcely
any one to whom to speak shis cut-ahd-dried
compilation of demagogcry
and rant. -
Well, Ike has been in Cumberland
county. In advance yellow posters
were sent out to announce his coming.
On last SaturdaV, a correspondent in
forms us, be spoke in Fayetteville to
a feto negroes three white Jiadi
cals. Fact. 1 Op Wednesday he went
to Manchester jto-frTl a much adver

inan, white or black, met him there.
When he was nearing the -village he
met Buck Murchison, a; true Demo

"Why, Republican speaking?" "We
are all Democrats this way, andrdon't
take any Radicalism in our,sy' was
the reply., Ike took the next train
for Raleigh. Ike constituted in him
self the big crowd at Manchester.

to hear his oratory this year. He came,

. Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of New;

Northern men now in the Congress

will be successful. He is largely m-i
terested in iron mines, but he r is not
like the Radical party in North Caro
lina blind to the inequalities, and 'ab
surdities of the present war tariff.
Hence, in a published letter , in
the New York Times, dated 24th
inst., he says : ,
"Meanwhile I am content with the atti
tude which I intend to occupy as a.pror

no stock in the doctrine that protection
raises the current rate of wages, but on the
contrary I think that the higher rate of

our great natural advantages and. cheap

Tlie outlook in France seems to be
more threatening and serious hour-.

Our jcity was alive last night. The
streets were . crowded with DeoDle of all
ages, and condiUonsand iliaminated-with
hW5n.uThia tnrna-
ov 7,r7"wtr r w v-,
Unas favorite-soa. Hon, Zeb. B. Vance.
Everybody was Jn good' humor, and one.
could not -.turn a corner - without hearing
the exclamation: -Old Zeb is here and is
going to srjeafctaigil!-.
No man living has inelt a hold npon 'the
popular Ticart is Vance, and this was clear
ly demonstrated here1 last evening, ' for we
saw men upon the streets who seldom leave .
.their homes after ! dark j and never attend;
political meetings;-but who were-as eager to
see and to hear him as the most Enthusias
tic young American.5'"'
Shortly after 7 olclock there was a gather
ing of the' clans at the City Hall with flam
ing torches and transparencies, ' and at the
hour named in the official programme- -the
procession; headed by the mounted escort
took up the line of march downr' Princess
street to Front; and down Front to the Pur
cell House,' when receiving ' the distin
guished visitor,- they moved up - Market
street to Third to the stand prepared 1 for
the speaking. V It was an oration; such a
one as only Vance could inspire, and shows
how strong is the affection felt for him by
all classes of our people. -Great credit ? Is
due to the committee, and to the young
men particularly for the perfect manner in
which the arrangements were carried -out.
, We think there Were at least fifteen hun
dred people, present, indTery. many-, ladies
graced the occasion with their presence. ,.
After music by the band the Hon. George
Davis arose and in his peculiarly felicitous
manner introduced the orator of the even
ing. As soon as the well-known form of
the Senator appeared upon the stand cheer
upon cheer went up from ithe vast multi
tude, and it was some time before silence
could be obtained, for the people wanted
to and would ' hurrah ! anyhow. : Quiet at :
length reigned and the Senator commenced
his speech. It was a speech of great power, '
argumentative and logical, showing the
falsity of Radical profession and how recre-;
ant they had been in the fulfilment of any
promise they had made to the. people;: it
was a summary of the doings of that party; !
contrasted with what the Democratic party;
had done. ' He showed - that there were,
between four and five hundred! thousand
children in the State; black and white,'
now being educated at the expense of "the
State, and that there was no increase in the
taxes. Normal schools' had - also been es
tablished, an Asylum for the Deaf, Dumhf
and the Bund, and ' lor tne insane ox tne
colored people had-been budt and were ui4'xmpU8bed'Vuid 'feas(R-dangter,:'Miss
Agricultural Bu4
reau of great benefit ' to the farming interi
ests of tbe State- had been organized, the:
. -.37 --;t .... i
interest on the State - debt promptly met
and nearly six hundred miles of railroad
built in North Carolina, and while all these
thin gs had been done by the Democratic
party there had been no- increase of taxes;
while he defied the Republican party to
show where they had ever piled one brick
upon"' another for the -public good. He
next turned: bis-attention to the Liberal
Democrats, so-called, who were candidates
for office, and allowed themselves to be
made tools of by the RadicaV leaders, and
held them up to public scorn, declaring that
they had been -bought by-the promise of of
fice and were Uie prorjerty of t the Radical
party. His argument upon the tariff was ua
answerable and. carried conviction to eve
ry mind not 'governed by prejudice. Upon
that most important question of all to this
pectionof the State.viz: county government
he was outspoken,- frank and manly in de
fense of the present system; and his argu
ment in favor of it -cannot be successfully
refuted. ' ; ;' ' -r " - ; '
. We do not pretcjid to give" a report of the
speech, but simply a glance .at its salient
points. He closed With a fervent appeal to
every man present to do. his duty, having
spoken about two hours and a half. It was
a speech that will do great good. We never
saw so large a crowd so quietahd attentive.
There was no noise or disturDance.and eve--ry
one left the ground feeling that there was
but one Zeb .Vance in America, and proud
of the fact that Zeb was a Tar Heel.

Wilmington last evening. Headed by the

Cornet Concert Club,' the procession moved
from the City Hall down Princess street ,to
the Purcell House, where it came to a halti;
A large number of horsemen were in line, i
and the young Democrats' were out in force
with their torches and transpaiencies.? , t
In a few "momenta -General Hansom ap
peared1 and ; took r a seat 'in the handsome'
phaeton drawn .by.ibur handsome arid ' 'gaK
lant greys." ' Accompanying the' General
were Mr. G. Boney, -Chairman of -ou r
County .Committee, Mr. Thos V7; Strange,
President of the Young -Men's-; Democratic
Club,'. and Jtfajor Charles M. Stedman, who.
had been selected to introduce the speaker.'
;t Under jhe; inspiring strains of music, and
amid the buzzas of the crowd, the proces
sion proceeded to the stand on Third street,
All along the line'of march the streets and
sidewalks weie thronged ; with people hur-L
rying to the point of meeting. ' ' , . '
Arriving .''at.'t the stand, the r reporter
took a review of the" assembled , multitude
and estimated, the number at from fourteen
hundred toTsixteenhundr
Were out by companies and battalions, and
added much to the interest of the occasion,
We noticed , also ' that' a large number of
colored voters . were "present. jThey a were
quiet and orderly, and many , of , thems lis
tened attentively to the words of wisdom
that fell ' from the lips of the matchless
orator. ' -
To Major Charles M. Stedman was ac
corded the honor' of introducing the dis
tinguished orator of the evening, and he
did it most admirably. ' - Before proceeding
directly to the pleasant task assigned him,
he asked the indulgence of the audience for
a few moments, that he might make a brief
reference to the contest in the Third Con
gressional District. .He then proceeded to
make a most eloquent and stirring appeal
to the Democrats of Wilmington to rally
to the support of Cob Wharton J. Green,
whom he eulogized as an accomplished
gentleman and a true Democrat, and one in
the support of whom every man, in whose
breast - throbbed the spirit of. patriotism,
should unite with the determination that:
success should crown their efforts in his
behalf, i He then - introduced Senator Ran
som in a most .graceful - and winning man-
ner. His effort was : warmly received and
highly complimented. I:.-,-;;".;. :"..

dignity that is peculiar to her and presented
a most beautiful bouquet of choicest flow

most fitting that she was proud to have been
selected to. present this' testimonial to one
whose name was interwoven with love and
ratitudein the heart of every true North Ca

The speech cwas original in conception,
being different ; from, any, other political
speech we ever heard, -seeking out new
fields for the power of the speaker's logic
and the fire of his eloquence. He' did "not

travagance, inconsistency and injustice on
the one hand, and Democratic patriotism,1

with its blighting touch had attempted, to
darken the light of the mind,, the means to
brighten which was the' only , blessing' left
us at the end of "the war. J
He explained the true meaning of the "co
lor line.Tand urged all white men to real
ize as they saw that that party, which was
composed of 105,000 colored men and 35,-
000 whites.could not afford.ua .as good go
vernment, as thai party, whose composition
was over 140,000 white men and contained
within its ranks nine-tenths of ; the wealth,
intelligence and education of the entire
State ; that if 'the latter .' party could 'not
furnish a good government it was impost
sible for the former to furnish a better.one:
The speaker, closed with a stirring and
eloquent appeal - for unity, and organized
effort for success, we will refrain from
further criticism, for we might mar a per

was conciliatory, original; eloquent and ex

most able speech we ever heard. v---ir-

the selection of the topic was evidence
that there existed a difference 1 between
the relation of the Church -to the ; colored
man and the relation of the Church to the
white race; ' After statins that the neefoes

pared the prior efforts to bring the African
up to the level of the Episcopal Church
service, to pouring hot mutton gravy into a

religion, and after shouting, feeling warm
and good, he takes that to be piety; and then
does not care how many hen-roosts he robs.
Rev. Mr. Shackelford, of Va.. also de

Raleigh,' October 25. There is some
sort of rumpus ; in , the Republican camp
here,' The secret is not out yet, but serious
trouble is brewing for Mott. Hubbcll has
despairingly refused to send any additional
funds, and the feeling among the more can
did Republicans is that the State is hope
lessly lost. A bitter war will be made on
Mott after the election.' The signs are pro-
pitious for a big sized row, and it is believed
that it cannot be smothered until after the '
election. At Democratic headquarters all
is going, as merry as a marriage belL Coke
is in high feather and claims the State by a

certainty of his election, after mingling so
extensively with the Western , people, as
well . perhaps as the mountain air he has
