We hope the Observer will urge the mat
ter Of the celebration and agree to having
it in October. If on the 9Th of October,
we think it will be on the very day of the
great Harrison celebration in 1910. What
do you say to October 18th (if preferred to
the l2th) for a grand Hancock rally! Octo-
Der 5th, 1910, Harrison demonstration. Oc-
tober 5th, 1880, Hancock demonstration
By the way, we we'll remember hearing
the great George E. Badger make a speech
in Granville, in the year 1910. There are
those living who remember the same speech.
He was in his best mood and we remember
that in one part of his speech he had a sort
of refrain, and paragraph after paragraph
ended with-''Then let US all go to RAJ
eigh." He was urging a big gathering of
the Wing forces on October 10 Of that year.
He said on that occasion that he was then
making his first political speech. We do
not know his age then, but he must have
been SOM. forty five years old.
And the people did go to Raleigh, and
there was a glorious time, and North Caro-
lima voted for Harrison by l2,15S majority.
Let the people once more rally to our capt.
tai city. Let there be a two or three days
Jubilee let there be bands of music and the
best speaking, and let everybody go as they
went in 1S4O-by all sorts Of convevances,

We Shall be glad to see the big Ratifca-

Hancock failing to carry the State: There
is one thought in regard to the date pro
posed. We doubt if it will help our State
ticket to remind the Old Line Wings who
count 81, Zoo votes in North Carolina, OF
their former triumphs. 1t is well known that
the enemy is seeking to arou the class
