A seconding speech was also made by Mr. R. B. White of Franklin.

Mr. Fou was then nominated by a ris ing vote amid applause. A delegation was appointed to Inform Mrr Fou of his miaatron and escort him to the hall. The following1 was fhe coirmittee: Chatham. II. A.

He ascended the Mage and" ald: "I om glad to be here today and m glad tv see Mr. Fou just cow entering the hall." This state ment was greeted with prolonged ap plause, as Mr. Wood sat down and Mr. Feu was escorted -to the platform. A delegate, shouted5 to Mt. Wood: "Yon got off eay that time." ' Mr. Fou was Introduced by Capt. r.nrn in choice but brief language. Mr. Fou said: -. -Mr.- CMlrmnn and Gentlemen, of' the ConTeatJon: Poverty in language, it seems..

What , a compliment to our party! It enables men to think; it is the dispenser of intellectual free dom! This is largely a Republican sug gestion, for it Is usually coupled with an invitation to enlist Jin. the ranks of that party. Will any Democrat listen to this 6lren Tolce? If there bo such a Demo crat, let us tenderly, eoftly remind hhn that h of ell men ought not to leave the party which has-made it possible for him to freely thinlc, that it has never, prevented him from thmktns in the ias. and, if he will reni'sia with us, It will enable him to have purer, sweeter, higher, better, less remorsCfu! thought than .he will ever have standing in the ranks of Ita enemy.

The humblest Democrat, working out life's destiny without complaint in J tr-ots est In our mighty army. Thank God that such a party srtill lives to act the just administrator of the poorest as well as the richest, of the humblest as wel as the highest! Our adversaries are now making the plaintive plea that negro rule shall never be made the Issue in our state again n' the name of every white man' and woman and child ia North Carolina say God grant tha. negro rule may never be the issue again! Who raised this Is sme ta 1898 and 1900? Who made tho constitutional . amendment necessary? Who is it who has always raired this issue? Who elevated a thousand negroes to fflce la this state? What party made it dangerous for the white women of the east to move about unattixnded In th day time? Who was responsible for the Wilmington tragedy? Not Demo crats. No, thank God, not Democrats The Republican party is responsible for all these things. The white leaders, of the east, the men who have -trafficked in the negro rote most of 'all are re sponsible for all these things. Who struggled almost to the death to continue' the miserable and pitiable etate of affairs which existed from 1S94 to 1S9S? Who was it that constantly breathed threats of defiance against us if we undertook to pass the amendment? Republicans, Fusionists, the authors of our state's greatest humiliation. No wonder that cringing with shame they are now begging that -the ,uue fhall never again be raised. Let these men understand that the life or eternal death of this. issue rests with them. They will either accept or attack the amendment. For one, I trust the question is for ever -settled. No man deplores strife and bitterness more than I do. 1 an willing". I am anxious to be permitted in tnls campaign, to douss only the great economic iKues which divide the two parties. I want to see every county in the state move forward to the highest development. Let us encourage the building of, railways and factories anl Ihe incoming of capital. Let us Improve our schools and out rural highways, ib serving however, the rules of iiuomy and the ability of our. people to pay taxes. First of all we will be N.rtn Carolinians: That is what my party tus taught me in the past. It is what it teaches me tqday. There has never been a minute In ray life when I hive iot been proud to fldmlt that I belonged to the Democratic party. Gentlemen, this is not the occasion for an elaborate discussion of the issues. I trust, however, yon will permit me to say that my, short service in the House of Representatives lias only streneth- ened the conviction heretofore entertained that the position of our party -with re spect to the issues soon to be submitted to the American people is morally right. Day after day we have seen the Re publicans in Congress line up in the interest of trusts and monopolies, while Democrats lined up In the interest of the people who are forced to pay trib ute to them. We have heard Republi cans ridicule the Constitution, defend murder and torture, and we have scon them pass bills providing for the ex penditure of more than a Diliion dollars of the xecple's money. What this amount would have been but for Demo cratic warniugs and Democratic pro tests is beyond computation. Rut our adversaries seek to divert the public mind from a contemplation of this carnival of extravagance. They renfind the laboring man that wages are high, but. if thl were true, the laboring man cots but little comfort from the informa- nn irhan h onps trw t!io storp to pur chase necessaries foir his family and finds j that a dollar will buy less of such neces saries than at any time since ISfMi. Likewise they remind the farmer that his products are brine'ng high prices, lint the farmer gets but little comfort from this information when he is com pelled to reflect that the high prices which he receives are coupled with; ca lamities to his crops and that a pound of hi cotton or a bushel of his wheat will buv fewer of most of the neces saries of life than at any time within the last four years. Nor is his confi dence in the justice of that party in creased when he reflects that he is com pelled to pay more than the foreigner for very manv of these -necessaries. And again the patriotism of the conn try Is appealed to in defence of the Republican policy with reference to-the islands whose inhabitants we are con quering, .but the patriotism and finan cial judgment of the country will hardly . nurtff -n-Viirh has SDent four hundred miliien dollars of the , peonies money, sacrificed ten thousand American 1 f lives,. has taken the lives of a hundred thousand aliens, has killed women and children, and ia now holding aloft the Mars and Stripes over I slavery and po ugamy fn the prosecution of "warfare upon those who were allies -in another war against a common enemy. In the midst of all this men ma v well ask the question whether national con- M-irare- ad and whether, in govern mental affairs, simple principles of right and wrong longer obtain. Rut, fellow citizens, the lines are drawn the issues are made up.' Defeat will not weaken rfur allegiance to prin SJPlfs we believe to be right. , When the Civil War ended it was said the TVmo- cratic party was dead, but in less than ten years we had a majority in the House of Representatives, and in little over ten years -we . ltn om nroai. dent. In 18S0 again they said our partr ti Q a noon '.Km . 1 0O i i . i president. In 1S88 we were surely -dead, but in 1890 we carried the House of Representatives and in 1892 elected a president. In 1896 we were ! certainly dead, but m 1898 we came so near carry ing the House of , Representatives that Republicans were forced tn stpnl fpw seats to make up a working majority in that body. In 1900 they swore wp teevA fle-nr? but today we beho'd our adversaries hopelessly divided, while the Democratic reveille is beatinsr all over the la-mi nnfl thousands of patriotic; dipt;, ftrrsertinr? differences which have divided us in the past, are lauing in the ranks of that army which would sava the Declaration ANY oi inaepencer.ee and the Constitution JV 1 ' v ... . ixvm ucsi.uu.ud ac jiome ana tue Amer ican name from disgrace a1road. -And now. gentlemen, I shall ii?t de tain you-longer.
