THE SPEAKERS.
Z The speakers on Nhe occasion will
be our next governor, Hon. Daniel
G. Fowle, Attorney General Theo.
r. Davidson, Superintendent of
public instruction, S. M. Finger,
and others who may be present.
Senators Vance and Ransom, Con.
gresham Thos. D. Johnston, and
Hon. Thus. M. Holt have been in
vited to be with us on the occasion,
and is more than probable that they
will it be here on that day. There
will also be present such speakers
as Strudwick, Waddell and Battle,
besides our own leading orators
west of Salisbury. The issues of
the day will be presented to the
people in a clear, truthful, forcible
manner, and the explanation of the
tariff and other vital points, from a
democratic view, will be made
plain to the masses assembled:
There will be no demagoguery, no
lodging the facts, no soft-soaping,
no rose-eolored statements to- catch
the unsuspecting voter, but a clear,
lucid satisfactory explanation and
vindication of the practices and
theories of the great democratic
party-the friend of the people and
the champion of the whole peoples
rights. Everybody is invited to
hear these speeches. All will be
expected to attend,
YOUNG MEMS DEMOCRATIC CLUB.
The Young Mems Democratic
Club of this city the largest in the
State, will attend the speaking in a
body-four hundred strong. They
will go in the parade fully uniform
ed, and as. many of them will be
mounted as possible. The Club
will meet at the court house one
halt hour before the speaking COM
mences, form into a column and
proceed to the warehouse, where
special seats will be provided for
them. The Asheville Club is the
largest in North Carolina, and it is
expected to turn out its full mem~
bership on the 25th. 1t will be
under the direction of its own Off
GERS, and will be assigned a special
position in the parade by the chief
marshal. The committee on funds
are raising the amount necessary to
uniform the club, and we hope the
citizens upon whom the committee
may call, will respond literally 10
this appeal. They will be helping
not only the club, but Asheville, by
so doing. No Ashevillian wishes to
see his proud town playing second
fiddle in the great democratic jubi>
lee on the 25th. Open up your
pocket-books, gentlemen, and aid
the committee as far as you possi-
blyca The citizens of Asheville can
contribute one thousand dollars to
this purpose, and never feel the
loss of a penny by so deing. Pub
lie enterprise and spirit demands
that every citizen of Asheville
should work to make this demon
stration worthy of the town and its
people. They will call upon you.
Help them, and help them literally.
ToRCH-LIGHT PROCESSION.
It is very probable that the de-
monstration will close at night with
a grand democratic torch-light pros
cession in which all democrats are
invited to participate. The parade
will embrace the principal streets OF
the city, and speeches will probably
be made at the different street cross
ings. Taken all together, the
Ashevilledemonstration will be such
as to be long remembered by those
who witness it. Let everybody turn
out on that day. Let the merchants
and business men close their stores
and offices, andhave one grand, com,
bined holiday. Let them go to hear
Fowle, Davidson, Finger and others,
Let them participate in the exer-
cises of the day. They will feel
better for SO doing. Let them help
to give radicalism black eye in
North Carolina that will last for
ever. Let's bury them and their
hypocritical protection theories for
ever cut of the sight of a people who
believe in the honest and equitable
administration of the great Ameri-
can government, rather than the
thieving, falshood, hypocrisy and
iobbery that has characterized the
republican horde since its incipi
ency. Come to Asheville on the
18th, and bring your wife, family and
friends with you. It will do you al
good. Don't stay away for want o
special invitation. The invita-
ton is general and ap
plies alike to the rich man and poor
the capitalist and laborer, th,
farmer and mechanic. the lawyer
the doctor, the preacher, the whit,
man, the black man. To all classe
and conditions the invitation is ex
tended to be present at the gloriou
democratic feast on Wednesday
July 18th.
