at the depot by three hundred mounted
men. He was escorted to carriage and
driven over town amid wild enthusiasm.
White hats were numerous and ban
danas waved In the air., When the pro-
cossion stopped at the hotel and Mr..
Fowle stepped from the carriage
the cheering was intense. He walked TO
his room, but the crowd would not let
him rest Calls for "Fowle," "Fow.e,"
being repeated time after time, he APP
peared on the balcony and in few
words thanked the crowd for their kind
manifestations. and then retired from
view.
1t was 2:40 O'Clock before the train ar
rived bearing Mr.. Dockery. A small
crowd. mostly colored, had con-
Rregated at the depot, and yelIs
for the champion OF Republicanism
we're given as he was conveyed to a
carriage and quickly driven to the hotel,
where he met his competitor. Arrange
IDents all being perfected, they left in
different carriages for the grove where
the speaking would come off Mr..
Fowie arrived first, and thousands yelled
until they were hoarse as he walked upon
the platform. Dockery arrived q few
minutes later, and received but slight
demonstration.
DOCKRRY OPENS
After music by the band Chairman Gov
ington stepped forward and announced
that Dockery would open the discussion
in speech Of one hour. Fowle would
follow in one hours speech; then each
would speak twenty minutes. DOckery
appealed to the farmers and workingmen
generally in his argument on the
ground mainly that he was not
a lawyer but farmer and hard
workingman. He also laid great
stress on protective tariff, but it failed to
enthuse the farmers, who would OCCASION
ally interrupt him by yelling " Hurrah
for Fowle and Democracy" TWAS plainly
seen that Union county is almost unani-
mously Democratic. DOckery tried to
show how the county was so held and
money scarce. When he asked what
caused it many in the audience answered,
" High protective tariff" which was the
'casion for another outburst for Fowle.
HON. DANIEL @. FowLE.
At the conclusion Of Dockory's speech
Mr. Fowle arose amid the widest cheer
ing. When order was restored he began
by saying that first he proposed to an
swer DOckerys oft-repeated question
What has the Democratic party done for
the working people OF the country For
twenty minutes the gallant Fowle told IN
ringing terms what the Democracy had
done for the people. Hewas in one of his
most happy moods, and while he was piling
argument upon argument before his com
petitor DOckery sat coolly in his char
taking it all as good as could
be expected. When Fowle had con
Guided several bouquets were presented
him. Dockery complained OF being sick,
thus hoping TO receive sympathy from
the audience. Taking the whole occa-
sion Fowle came out ahead in argument,
and handled the Goliah OF North Caro-
lima Repnblicanism with the greatest Of
ease.
