Fowle, a man that creates en thusiasm everywhere throughout the State, With such leaders in the field, Major Sted man predicted that the Democratic party would sweep North Carolina like a cyclone at the next election. At first he believed we would carry the State by a large major ity but now he would venture to 'place it at from forty to sixty thousand. After mak ing an earnest appeal for Democrats to do their duty, Major Sledman introduced the Hon. Daniel G. Fowle, a man pre-eminent for his eloquence and integrity. Three cheers were given for Fowle and after music by the band, vociferous calls were made for the next Governor. Judge Fo!e after relating an incident, thanked the crowd for the enthusiasm displayed and said while he expected the Cape Fear 'Kfiion to do its duty, he was surprised at the demonstration made. He said, how ever, that he might have known what to expect from the section that in 1774, first ieclared for those great principles which were the precursor of the independence of this great country, and in 1776 sent the first company of soldiers out under the gallant Alexander Livington and gained the first tattle of the revolution at the Moore's bridge. After 112 years . he found the sons of the Cape Fear section just as gal lant as of yore and ready to battle for their rights. Amid cheers he alluded to two distinguished sons of this section the Hon Alfred M. Waddell and the Hon. Chas. M. Steadrnan. i A"er allusions to the srreat victories vi me uemocracy m the State m jears gone, he paid his respects to the ""nnnees on the National ticket, paying tribute to Cleveland and Thurman f corasting them in a most unenvia bIe ay with the nominees of the Republi cs party. judge Fowle then contrasted tt records -of the two great parties and .shedthe hypocracy and deceit of the Republican party in asking votes in North "ria and any other State. On the " hand he pointed out what the Dem party had done for the country in e foUr years of its administration. He ?Inted out also what the Democratic par- LOmS tor the South and said that tile Section ncm" virtually controlled airs of this country, and was dispel- "ism from this country so rap to"n"atin next few years he expected a ooutfiern man nominated for the ad Place on the National ticket. 11 llcfi? . --sii.iiiiir.tr k- a . t ofj, o vj cxcrcnce to me ringing of u 111 ' ine towers 01 me city ?tae To .

But when her in nocence perished the best part of her perr ished. When a woman once turns her back on God and virtue, she reserves noth ing; and for her there is nothing reserved, J cepted save the blackness of darkness forever. The grace of God and the purging of the grave may cleanse her for the associations of the next world; but here there is neith er balm nor physician in Gilead to restore the lost health of the soul. Henceforth she is a breathing picture of moral death. The able Louisville Courier Journal writes it, "It transpires. It does not mean that "it perspires.'
