COURT HOUSE C R QWDE D. ;i)!jv Aycock's Great Speech; Dr. vT, Dixon's Happy Hits. Fine Ad dresses of ilessrs. Gilmer- and McNeill. Speaking To-Night at City Hall. This was a great day for Democracy in Mecklenburg countyl "Our ... next Governor" and the honored gentlemen who are to be our State officers were greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd. They spoke in the new court house, which was as full as it could hold. In the audience were men from every part of the county and from oth er towns, and a, number of .the fair: sex graced the occasion with .ther pres ence. The room had been prettily decorat ed by Mrs. T. S. Clarksoii;vMrsV';:hzke' Seaweir and Miss Julia Alexander, with United States flags and the '.na tional colors. A profusion of beauti ful flowers adorned the speaker's stand, a large bunch of carnations 0& the right being "for our next Govern or.": . ' . ; :; : VV ? -.Si-Chairman J. D. McCall ' called the meeting to order, and stated the object or the candidates tour qi tne stare. In introducing Mr.,!)Bryan Grimes, Mr. Heriot Xaarksoh-said this was the most important campaign in years, a fight of white against, black,, of. good government against bad government A He said the Democratic party had se lected eleven men' without spot oi-. blemish, and one of them a tiller of the soil, a bread-winner; a scion of a knightly race. "Such x is the man, Mr. Bryan Grimes, whom I - present '': to yOUu" '", ri- '.'.' -x Mr. Grimes saddv 'L come , to you to day commissioned? by jthe greatest con vention ever held infNorth Carolina, as candidate for Secretary of State. We are gratified by. the .representative au dience that greets uskoJ-t? realize the hopes and aspirations ? pf your v man hood and the ?! happiness of your womanhood. In the homes of the East, there is not the xsame happiness. The dark cloud of the. black race hangs over them, and the women are anxiouis evan for their own safety. One great question is supreme whether the white people shall govern or the negroes shall misgovern. This country has met three crises. In the first under the lead of the patriots of Mecklenburg, we drove the British minions across the sea. In the second crisis "North Caro lina made a glorious record. She? was first at Bethel and last at Appamattoxv In an effort to "humiliate lis uf-tin-generous foes placed our former slaves on an equal footing with us." Here hs reviewed the history of Reconstruction and carpet-bag: rule in this . State; spoke of the revolution of' 1876 and of the twenty-five years of good govern ment that succeded. Our people, di vided on industrial questions and some Of the white people united with the Republicans and carried the State. The scenes of 18GS were repeated. I 189S the people arose in their migrij and elected a Democratic legislature. There was a demand for some measure that would " forever make negro rule impossible in this State. They met this with the ' constitutional amendment, which will be carried and will forever redeem the State. " It ; will make negro rule impossible; it means that all our little children will be educated. It lifts the yoke of ignorance and ignominy forever, from pur necks." It rl oreTfr eliminates the negro as a factor odn North Carolina We say- toi the negrc 'Thou shalt have Justice before the law but thou shalt. not i rule.' ; . ; f :7. He who doubts the passage bf this amendment forgets : the history ' arid heritage of our peopleNorth Carolina again asks her sons tpcome k tojjherj rescue ; you will respond to ner can, Vance said: "Democracy .is immortal; its principles can never die." God sends another man to save you, the Joshua of white supremacy. Hie fi's with you today "and will be your next gov-: ernor. 7i ;' .V : ::,;;:;: r;:;;:-: I come to you ; from- tide-water Eastern Carolina a section that suf fers from the blight of negro rule. He told of the horrors of negro rule in the East. . ; Senator Butler says he will idrive us out of the State. T-hey may carry U3 out feet foremost, .but they can never drive us out. ' There is a higher law to which we can appeal. We ask your-help? but not tin supplication. If you do aid ns we will.be thankful, but if not, thank God, we are able and will "protect our own. ' DR. DIXON'S SPEECH. i Mr. J. A. Bell Introduced Dr.. B. F . Dixon. In order to fill the office' of .au ditor, he said, a man must have a knowledge of theology, medicine atvd soldiery, and the man the -Democrats , present possesses all these ' qualifica- uens. in tms campaign tne occupation of the demagogue will be destroyed. -, Dr. Dixon said he wanted to look in -to the faces of the men who had given him such a majority in the primaries and convention. I just came to look at you and let you look at me. Strange, to say even across -the 'mountains we found Democrats hosts of them. We found there , the descendants of the King's Mountain volunteers. ' Thsy came out then N with 'their long rifles and with joy.and gladness to kill Fer guscn's men. They are going to answer the call this ;. year and help free us. ! . I know, a Democrat as far as I can1 see him, and I am glad to see so many here today. : ; . . 7 , The cry of people that this negro question is stale and old reminds me of Bill Wilson. Bill said to me, .''Every: day my wife comes and begs me for money; mwney, money, aird sometimep twice a-.day, till I am pestered to death.";..-'- . - :'V-' 'Why doesshe keep begging you for more money?" I asked.. ; ; ; l "I reckon it's because I don't never give her none," said Bill. This negro question never has been settled, and the constitutional amendment is the only thing that will settle it. We are simply going to take from the negro, what will hurt him and hurt Us. We are white men and do not propose to follow the black banner, I am thfc friend of the negro. ; -When the French Revolution was about to 'fail, one ssiwart arose and said "Send to Marseilles for .six hun dred men who know how. to die." When they reached Paris there were five hundred thousand men ready to batter down the walls of Paris. So I want this crowd here to be so enthused over the r amendment that there will be hundred thousand men ready to batter many. thousands whp will march under theUwite' banner to the polls. ' ; cf'IIiMER'S ELOQUENCE. , jMrrW: Tillett in an eloquent lit te jspeech presented Mr. R. D. Gilmer, candidate ;f or Attorney General.- The Democrats have found inV Mr. Gilmer, every inch a lawyer:? every nch a man, who Will 'riot be a flgWehead , who is best lov W- wherfoit besty knb-Wii, whp will In sp i re vt h e Tdnth f iegiph $ of: Democracy. Mr. Gilmer said he came with no malt" ice toward any man, with charity toi all. It is my pairpoee to appeal -to men along, patriotic lines, because ' the : re sults of this campaigCwill affect North Carolina for all tpae to come. We ap peal to every white man to perpetuate good government and white rule. Tie pictured the Sau,th before the war as, J ing of red-handed, war, and 1$6 xshy? and desolation tbiat ;fplipiwigp.v fiict.

The right" of suffrage swas conferred, upon the negro who rejoiced in his possession only as the savage' red man rejoices in his beads. He spoke of the victory of 1876 and the twenty .years of peace and prosperity that - succeeded, the fusion period and. negro rule, and then the rising of the white men of the State7 and the great . victory . of 1898. The people of this State are tired of this recurring struggle to preserve good government and white trule. The Legislature of 1899 was charged with the duty of making White supremacy permanent. They also remembered the bravery and virtue of unlettered ;whitt? man. The amendment proposed will disfranchise np white man " in North Carolina but it will eliminate the ig norant and vicious negro vote: Mr. Pritchard himself said one provision of the amendment was to, protect the white man. Mr. Thomas Settle said In a letter that the" Democrats had writ- ten in the constitution a section that would protect every white i -man : and keep out every vicious negro. This ja the most Important v question of the century. The amendment will settle this great question. If we fail to adopt this amendment; North Carolina , will be come .the Mecca of all the negro polK ticians; in the South. When that-time comes, the peopleT, of 'Eastern' North Carolina will appeal tp the higher law, arid hat :will;ypji when the streets of; thetEastern towii3 ruii red with'Tt)lood? . - V.-. MCNEILL, TLI OF TH6 REyOLU-. v Mr. Franklin McNeill, candidate for Corporation Commissioner, was the nexi-speaker. He said he would forgivp the mistake; made in the primaries, if the county did, all right in August. He spoke -especially of the county govern ment," and the sacrifice the white peo ple of the West made to w enable the Eastern, counties to fill- their offices with white men. From 1875 to 1895, we hftxl god government all. over the State. In 1&5 this State was-again Africanized by a change In the system of county government, " that enabled the negroes in the Eastern counties to elect' magistrates and county commis sioners. (The same old story of ; I860 followed. Incompetent officials negto magistrates and commissioners; were elected fall through the East The Leg fslattire- of 1897 put the 'Eastern, cities -rider control of the negro In WiU rmington three good white men were f elected and two negroes, the governor appointed foyr, Radicals and thus turn ed the city government over to the negroes. . . -. The law was as powerless as a lent. A citizen had to, redress his own griev ances. I couldn't paint it any worse than it was. With thirty negro police r. men on the street, who would redress a violation of the law? You can see well enough where' it would lead to. Property-was not safe; the -houses were guarded at night. After submitting patiently for months, the white men determined there were things worse than death, and it must stop. It di! stop and it has stppped for good. The Legislature-of 1S9&: passed a law that will prevent this,and that law is the constitutional amendment 'Mr. H. B. Varner, candidate for La. bor Commissioner, thanked bis friends for their support in the primaries ana said he hoped they would do as well in the? August election. . MR. AYCOCK'S SPLENDID SPEECH. Chairman McCall reviewed the great convention at Raleigh and-; presented its nominee-"the.next governor of North Carolina." He pledged Mecklen-, burg to the s amendment and Ay cock. Mr. Aycoek has "the Heart of , a Vance and. the r eloquence of a Prentiss,'' he said. - " -; - '."-'V.;,;' i '. : ... "I believe all true North Carolinians may claim to have the heart of Vance,"' said Mr. Aycoek ; "best beloved J ai)d greatest of them all. I invoke1 his memory today in behalf of white su premacy. North Carolinians love con servatism: and they love the truth- It is art old story but the most impas sioned -of orators declared that the only light that could make his path clear, was the lajnp of experience. The amendment is predicated on the past. He spoke of the days ; of Reconstruc tion as a "hell born dream." He traced the history of the State from the dark days cf carpet bag rule, through the twenty years of prosperous rule under the Democratic party, the division, of the white people in 1892, and the fu sion, victory of 1594. Government can never .be 'better ' nor wiser " than ' the average of the virtue - and intelligence of the party that governs. In a party which' is coriiposed of two 'thirds ne groes,' there canijot be a high standard I ega-o : behind ; ith?v office-hoiaetetiiat imniegidverriment, and iio'the c6riiprito plwerwith the promise anc purpsef of giving4 the; State, good, gov ernment But did- they have' good' gov erriment?

Republican or Populist in 'Mecklenburg county, who, if that telegram had come to him, would not: have gone to the help of his brethren in Wilmington ; because blood is thicker than water.; I do not boast of what happened in Wilmington. But I do boast of that manlhood of "North Carolina that will guard the safety of the womanhood and childhood with their lives if need be. . Governor Russell did not- even mention in his message the revolution at Wilmington, and tiiereby tacitly' ad mitted that the v happenings were ne cessary." Y' ' --.'.. ! Vr J-;.: I am' tired" of this biennial warfare. We ought to be able to settle this ques tion once for all; not in raalice against the negro, but to preserve peace in North Carolina. This amendment will settle it. y ' He then discussed the amendment in detail, arid especially - section five, which provides that . the white man who cannot read and write shall not be disfranchised. His tribute to the unlettered white man was supeVb, and his eloquence drew forth storms of ap- plause. , - '. ' i". ; "' ' 1 v When Mr. Pritchard cries over tne white man 1., can't sympathize with him because he is really only crying for the negro all the time,. ; ; - There isn't a Democrat; here who would lose his v vote; a$rit of the poll" tax: , It's the beWBicbllectlon scheme ever devised. wVretjuired the tax . to be paid ; in MaicMrthiat every man should pay his.pqfi praj'tax.;, " Tire amendment also requires every child under thirteen years of age to read and. write before s he can vote. This means the education of every child in the State,; It means it will give every oneiof thiem the power of' knowledge, theJ abttitj toicriter ,?Niwoattds5 to science, of literature, to imbibe inspi ration from the grand minds of the past, aacud make their own lives better and nobler. -The man who would deny to childhood these rights is a dema gogue and an. enemy to all mankind. I do declare to you that I will devote my administration' tq the advancement of education until every poor child In North Carolina has the knowledge that will make him equal with other chil dren in t&e race of -life. I don't want any man to vote for me who does not believe in that - . - - The Republicans say they dp not like our election law.

The election law will ,prevent all that. . - We are going to settle this negro question this year; to the end that we may turn our minds to higher bet ter and nobler things that we may extend, our agriculture, . . develop, : our resources, build up industry and com-, merce, and encourage learning and lit erature ' . - .
