The Peoples Rights
When il was decided to have big
ond an old-fashioned celebration OF the
Fonrth Of July in Raleigh, the commit
tee sent an invitation to SENATOR VANCE
70 deliver the address. He wrote prom
;s;nc to come '.if possible" All Raj
a,oh feared it would not be possible, but
Yesterday morning MAYOR THOMPSON re-
ceiyed the following telegram
RICHMOND Va, July 3rd, 1890.
MAYOR THOMPSON, RALEIGH, n. @.
Mrs. Vance and I will be in Raleigh
this afternoon.
z. B. VANCE.
Telegrams and circulars were sent out
to the surrounding towns and every ef-
fort was made to get the news TO the
people that SENATOR VANCE would speak.
Il is to be regretted that the certainty OF
his coming could not have been known
earlier-for thousands of the farmers IN
this and adjoining counties will not know
of his coming and will therefore not be
present. But we will have a crowd any
way, and with the Senator's help to give
rs the enthusiasm, we will make this
Fourth of July red letter one in our
history.
GOVERNOR VANCE and wife reached
here at $40 yesterday and have rooms
Mt the Marlboro. The Senator looks we'll
though he has been doing most laborious
work. He delivered a strong speech
Monday against the admission of Idaho
as n state When we saw him he was
sitting on the little back porch of the
Yarboro, and said that it was the first
time he had been able to get cool in two
weeks.
