THE GOVERNORS FINE SPEECH.
The Governor was introduced by Mr..
Wells. and made a magnificent speech.
Governor OFerrall fired most OF his guns
at the Republicans. declaring that the
Pops" were not in the contest at all.
and the only enemy TO fear was the one
headed by j. w. Southwark. Several
amusing anecdotes were told with Little
Jimmy Gregory In the comic role. The
Governor was particularly clear In his
calculation OF the tariff question and the
new Walton law.
During the Governors address Colonel
Tazewell Elicit came into the hall. lie
was escorted 10 the stage, and as ne
came upon the platform he was met by
Governor OFerrail, who, In storm OF
applause. presented him, to the audience
as the next congressman from the Tnlrd
District"
Elicit CORDIALLY RECEIVED.
After Governor OFerralrs address Mr.
Wells introduced Colonel Elicit. VINO
made a short and captivating speech.
Like the Governor, he was literally APP
plauded. He said he had thoroughly can
vassed the district and the fight was en-
t!rely between Mr.. Southwark and HIM
self. He made n most earnest appeal TO
the white men of the city to do their duty
to-day, and said the Democrats wouil
certainly be victorious II this was done.
At the conclusion of his speech many
OF those present went forward and gave
Colonel Elicit most hearty hand-shak-
ing, and promised him their support.
From the leaders. with whom the reporter
talked the information was CLEANED that
the situation Is encouraging, and that the
city will give Colonel Elicit a majority
of from 200 to 400.
The Populists had meeting in Swans
boro' and the Republicans had a meeting
at the railroad crossing on Hull street.
Both were poorly attended and little or
no interest manifested.

Swansboro Is at present without a con-
stable, and 1t Is said that recently some
very disorderly conduct has been wit
messed in that suburb. Last Saturday night

white man. was shot In the side or MS
