Gentlemen of tbe Convention, it will le the duty of tbi convention to appoint delegates to tbe Natiwi.il Convention of the Democratic party which will meet in Kansas City on July 4. Four years ago, when you met in this city and ap pointed delegates to the Chicago Conven tion, there were doubts and migirings as to what Democracy had mm to menu. Tbe 'party was in the hands of false leaders, who had betrayca its prin-1 ciples; there was doubt as to whether the National Convention which was to meet that year would adopt the Demo cratic principle of bimetallism or the Republican doctrine of gold monometal lism, lucre was even doubt as to lint la the face of all : Is munlSceuee tbe negio bas away strength against tbe i:e people 1- most as solidly as if of North bat wn. h ZTf.iX Ml. , since tb i-t.Iet n si :, :.

When your last State Convention met in this city two years ago every de partment of the otate government was in the hands or the fusionists. ' Not less than one thousand negroes were hold ing public offices in North Carolina. The then most influential men in the ltepubiican party ,the recognized lead er of tne 120,000 negro voters, that bright particular star in the Republican firmament, the negro Congressman George II. AVhite, was defiantly invit ing the race issue and insolently de claring that the negroes in North Caro lina did not hold as many ..offices as they , were entitled to hold, and demand . . . . i t . ing hi tneir name mat iney oe given more offices than they held. We ac ccptcd this issue; upon it we went to the people, and they declared that ne gro rule in North Carolina must and should cease, and negro office-holding should stop. Negro rule in North Car olina has ceased, and wegro office-hold ing in North Carolina has practically stopped. Ihere are still some negro magistrates here and there iu the east era part of the State, elected by th? fu sionists, wh.oue terms have not expired, but thank God are not doing any bus iness now.
