The crowd was variously esti . mated between 250. and JdO, It was a tine body of men and they grappled with the situation - before them in an earnest and strong man ner. The-apeeche rose 'above partisan ship. The purily of 'the ballot, the protection of the right of the voters, and tr?e condemnation of arbitrary ruling-and fratjd were the chief alms of the. speakers.

Sixty one for Sawyer bad been stricken out and 73 Inserted. Such a thing. In his opinion, could not have occurred with out something being wrong. He cited the fact that 20 "liters Were brought befor& tb board -uf. canvassers. to. te ttfy that they had voted for Wood and that the board-refused to Jiear Xhem, Mr. Wood was a poor man, he said and could not afford to make a con test. "Not only Mr. Wood's rights but your rights have been Invaded if a wrong has been done. Somebody ught to be-taught that such things will not be tolerated. With the evl dence before us there can be no other conclusion save that a great wrong has been committed. I want this meeting to express itself and to ex press itself In no uncertain terms." For Personal Rights. Mr. H. D. Mason, of Cedar Fork, considered it a personal matter to each Democrat--m--the county. "We are here to defend xrur personal rights. I have got to defend mine and you have got to defend yours, t am Sorry that the party should have to carry even the smell of suspicion that wrong has heen done in Wake county, These men here feel that their rights have been trampled upon, that their votes have not been counted.

Mr. Hart Catling took up the mat-terjolahe.-unom-la and official re turns from the t'araligh precinct. He referred, to the unofficial votes being brought into Ralei'gK Saturday night on one of the regular, ballots show ing the vote rjtst for every candidate In the precinct. The vote for every name on the un official returns, he said, was the same as that wi the othVial returns except that of the. alterations.

He thought tKirt thtw--was like-tnvk'tlog .a loan in-court without giving him a chance to present his evidence. He expressed tinuing he said: "As 1 have always understood them, the principles of the Democratic party are eqoal rights to all and spe cial privilege to none.
