Judge Fowle spoke i'll more than forty
counties in behalf of the Democratic ticket.
When President Cleveland was elected,
the Democratic legislature asked that
Judge Fowle be appointed Solicitor Gen
eral. They said of him; If YOU fl
to appoint any citizen of the State to Office
we respectfully ask that the office Of S"lrci-
tor General be given to the Hon. Iatri"l
G. Fowle. While upon the bench oi hi,

shown devotion to duty which, combined
with his great ability as lawyer, ti him
to any legal office within the gift of The
government.
This was the estimate of the Democratic
legislature such were the words of the
, accredited and chosen representatives of
the Democratic party. On the 3lst ~
May the Democrats OF North CaToiina III
convention assembled recorded their en-
dorsement of this estimate, and made him
the Democratic champion in the great
fight of 1888.
Already he has shown himself worthy
to lead He is abundant in labors. Since
his nomination, Judge Fowle has devoted
his entire atteutlon TO the work of map
ping out the campaign, and speaking TO
the people. The campaign has not yet
opened and will not until AuguSt-and

few words: he addressed the democratic
Convention that nominated him and spoke
words of cheer at the ratification by the
Raleigh Young Mems Democratic Club.
He attended Commencement at the Uni
versity, at Wake Forest. and at Trinity
College On Monday. accompanied by an
escort of the Young Mems Democratic
Club of Raleigh, he Went to Morehead TO
greet the teachers in their annual assem-
bly, Passing through New Berne, he ad

He gives all his time and all his thought to
the people. and interests himself in what
ever interests them. That is the kind of
man the people of North Carolina want
/ for Governor. They want man who is
I desrous of promoting their educational
institutions and their public school sys
TEN. The interest Judge Fowle manifests
in all these objects, which are dear to
North CarOlinianS, makes him also dear TO
them.
Such, in brief, is the record of Judge
Fowle's public life and a statement of the
efforts be is putting forth to secure Demo
cratic success.
Personally, Judge Fowle Is a man of
/ probity. His life is above reproach He
has no vices He Is man of the strictest
sobriety. He is so free from personal
! wrong doing as that no intimaton against
4 his personal life has ever been uttered even
I by his bitterest political enemy. he has
4 always been a man of uprightness of life
4 1t is his great tower of strength with the
people of North Carolina. They have
rarely elevated to the gubernatoral chair
any except man of integrity. When
Judge Fowle shall occupy that chair. it
can truthfully be said that no man more
upright in life has been the Governor of
! this Commonwealth.
This writer happens to know that it has
for many years been the ambition of Judge
Fowe to be Governor of his native State.
Although he has held other places of hon
or, it is the only position that his ambition
| has led him to desire. We are glad, and
thousands of North Carolinlans are gla',
that this ambition is to be gratified 1t is
an honorable ambition to aspire to the
| gubernatoria chair of the State We re
gard it as the highest Office in the gift of
the voters and the people so regard it.
They pay such homage to a Governor as
they pay to no other public officer. In
North Carolina the Governors have been
our best, wisest and trueSt men. The
Democrats propose to keep up the rule by
electing Judge Fowe to succeed the pres
tnt incumbent, of whose administration
the recent State Convention said: The
Democracy of North Carolina cordially APP
prove the admins on of Hon. Alfred
NJ Scales as honest, patriotic and conserv-
ative."
In our State, as we'll as in our National
ticket, the second place is filled BY well
known and tried Democrat. This year the
Democrats have attached no men of the
Bill English stamp to the ticket, but have
given the people tickets which, like the
wonderful one horse shay, of which the
poet sings, is strong at all points. Our
nominee for Governor is a lawyer by pro
fession has made his living by his pro
fession He is also a farmer. He is an
, eloquent and popular.
For the second place on the ticket the
Democrats named,
COL THOMAS NJ. HOLT,
