Nh. Editor:-We of this section
were entertained this evening
Saturday by one of the most
r practical, common-sense speeche,
We have heard in a long time. b,
f Wayne's eloquent and patriotic
l son, Ito the manner born. Chas
Is. Aycock. This place is the
falrest, and most loved spot te
him of any on earth. here sleer
) his honored father and lovec
/, mother and other kindred, ano
this people admire and beloved
Charles for his sterling patriot
ism and nobility of soul, and his
faith in Democracy. So far as
we could learn the speech was
well received by all, and doubt.
less will be the means of bring.
ing back to the grand old party
some Maynard sons who were
lead Off by those who want office
and could not get it in the Dem
ocratlc party, because the people
did not want them, Charles
asked the people how they could
go back on the Democratic party
OF the South, and especially in
North Carolina? if that wasn't
the only party that had done
anything for the people since the
war? the party that had stood bv
the people and from confusion
and chaos had given them a good,
sound, honest ,governlnent?What
did the Republican party do for
the South and our own Carolina?
Did 1t not ruin and wreck every
thing? Did it give to the peo-
pie schools, asylumns for
the insane. the blind and the
deaf? No, but stole the
money appropriated for those
purposes. The Democratic
party has built asylums for all
these unfOrtunates, and is caring
for them of both races. Com.
pare the records of all the par
ties, and e which has been most
beneficial to the people at large.
Ii the Legislation of the Demo
cratic party has not been more
beneficial to the people than that.
OF any other party, then we con-
Tess to our stupidity. Then if
1t has given the people honest
legislation and they have derived
more benefit from it than any
other party, it certainly is the
party for them tosupport if thew
want good, honest government
administered to all alike.
This is the party that has stood
the test OF all time, because the
principles on which it is founded
are just, honest, wise. humane.
impartial, and make every man
as near afreeman as man can be.
America then boasting the great
est liberty and making every cit
zen a participant in the govern
ment, is uudone if her people
fail to have a full and Just APP
probation of their obligations as
citizens of this great republic.
The greatest good to the great
est number is Democracy, and if
we want clean politics we can
have it by putting up clean men
and standing by them. This the
Democratic party has done.
Every man should bring into his
politics those principles and
those teachings which alone can
dignity a nation, and assure to
It's offices men of pure morals,
and lofty, unselish aims. It is of
some concern to you who rule
the land, who fill its offices, and
who represent it's dignity at
home and abroad. Let them be
men of the people, good and true,
and whom the people have con-
fidence in, men of principle and
courage and who will stand out
before TIE people in the dreary
spring of history, stately and
heroic figures.
The records of all the p%arties
are before us. AS wise men let
Us choose that party that has
given US the best legislation, and i,
whose hands are not stained With /
