AYcocK SPEAKS At TARBoRo.
Though an Oficeholder, He is Sound on
the Money Question.

Tarboro, N. c., Sept. 1.--(SpeciaD
According to appointment, Hon c. B.
Aycock spoke here to-day TO large
audience, consisting of voters from all
parties. The court house, where the
speaking took place, was well filed.
Mr.. Aycoclx still retains the vigOr of
eloquence he displayed in the Presi-
Dental campaign of 1892, and his
speech here to-day had a wonderful
influence on all who heard him
A great many of our people have
thought that because Mr.. Aycock was
Federal officeholder his position on
the silver question might be little
strained, and they went to the court
house, expecting to be disappointed,
but Mr.. Aycocl showed himself as true
to Democracy to-day as he did in 1892,
The silver question formed the greater
part of his speech. He referred to the
tariff and appealed most earnestly to
the voters of Edegcombe to stand by
North Carolina and Edgecombe county.

dy is with them. We shall defend our
property and our rights from an in
tended quiet and subtle attack from
whatever source it may come with
the same force and spirit that we
would an attack made openly and
boldly, and we will continue to oppose
to the millions of their bankers the
sturdy unwavering loyalty of the mer-
chants, shippers, farmers, manufac-
turers, the producers and the "Good
People" of Virginia, the Carolinas,
Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Alabama, Florida, and all territory
tributary to our line in whose interest
the conflict is waged as well as our
own. The question is between the
Southern and the SeabOard. No other
interests are of necessity involved. 1t
is within the power of the Southern
to adjust it's business upon business

and preventing serious losses thereto

bly, and in justice with it's competitors,
and this it win sooner or later have to

VERMONT GOES REPUBLICAN.
Grout Elected Governor by Some 30.
600 Majority.

49,
White River junction, VT, Sept. L.
The Green Mountain State declared for
Josiah Gpout, Republican, for Govern
or to-day, and for the Republican tick
e. entire by majority that equalled
the prediction of the most confident
Republican managers. Returns from
the distant towns are, as usual, rather
show in coming in, but the count In
all sections shows substantial Repub-
lican gains, and the estimated ma
iortity will be about 10000.
The Republican leaders tonight
claim that the majority may reach
$4,000, and possibly $4,000
I'll. Henry Powers, the Republican
! Congressional candidate in the First
district, and VIM. NJ. Grout, in the
Second, are both reelected by increas-
Ell maiorities, and the State Senate and
House are in the control of the Re-
publicans by practically the same ma
| iority as two years ago.
The weather generally was cool and
/ fair throughout the State, and brought
out the hundreds of Republican voters
/ who have not been to the polls for
| years. Practically the full Republican
vote was cast. On the other hand, the
lack of organization in the Democratic
ranks was very apparent.
| Many Democrats who do not en-
dorse the platform of the Chicago con-
vention remained away from the polls
| while the more dissatisfied ones voted
for the Republican ticket. The Popu-
list and Prohibition vote was practical
ly the same as four years ago.
The ticket elected is as follow: Gov.
elnor, Josiah Grout, of Derby; Lieut.
Governor, Nelson w. Fisk, of Isle Ia
Motto; State Treasurer, Henry f
Field. of Rutland; Secretary of State
Chauncey w. Brownill, Of Burlington;
State Auditor, Frank ID. Hale, Of Lun
denburg; Congressman from First dis
IL let. III. Henry Powers, of Morrisville
| Congressman from Second district
VIM. f. Grout, Of Barton.
