A Great Speech.
Accordingtoappointment, Hon. Chas.
B. Ay cock, Democratic candidate for
Governor of North Carolina, addressed
the citizens of Burke in the Court House
square in Morganton on Monday, the
11th. It was the largest gathering
seen in Morganton since the campaign
opened. A large number of ladies
graced the occasion,
Mr. Aycock arrived on the noon train
from the east and was met at the depot
by a long line of horsemen andf people
on foot, with music by the Morganton
Cornet Band. On alighting from the
train Mr. A-cock, amid music, shouts
of the crowd and much handshaking,
was escorted to a carriage, and, fol
lowed by the long procession, was
driven over the business portion of the
town. In the procession were several
White Supremacy clubs, riding or
marching in a body. There were also
I many banners witn various inscrip
tions and marshals with red bunting
sashes. A game cock in a cage on top
of a high pole was a pleasing feature
of the parade and was carried by a
member of the Oak torest club.
Mr. J. F. Spainhour, in his usual
happy style, introduced Mr. Aycock,
and for two hours the next Lrovernor
of North Cr.rolina received tne closest
attention of the large audience. The
speech contained nothing offensive even
to the bitterest Republican, but was a
strong, earnest appeal to the west to
help rid the east of negro domination.
He proved conclusively that no wnite

claim of the Republican pie-hunters to
the contrary.
It was a great effort by a great man
and made votes for the amendment in
Burke.
