denied the report that he had supported
Judge Edmund Waddill. a Republican
candidate. lie said he had supported
Samuel +. Waddill, who was well known
as Democrat. SO far from supporting
Judge Waddiil, he had often met him on

Guilty. He denounced the statement mat
he had ever given aid and comfort to the
enemies OF Democracy as UNANIMOUSLY
false. He made the statement that Colo

ed that gentlemans attitude on the
Cuban question. He was accorded pro-
longed applause at the close of DIS
speech.
Colonel Elicit. who followed, was greet
ed on rising from his seat by equal en-
thusiasm. He denied that he had been
guilty of vacillation on the silver ques-
ton. as stated by Captain Lamb. His
position was that OF a loyal Democrat
who had waited for his party to speak,
and had then, like a good Democrat, ac-
cepted the declaration and sakeu MS

support from the bottom Of his heart lie
could see how il was that Captain Lamb
did not understand this great duty of
Democrat when. by his own admission
he had been lighting the battles OF Re-
publicans. When Captain Lamb said that
Mr. s. i. Waddill was Democrat he
showed himself ignorant Of the political
history Of this district. As TO the charge
that he was the paid attorney of any cor
poratiOn, he said that IL was utterly false
He had on one or two occasions repre-
sented the Pullman Company and the
Norfolk and Western railroad In court
and had on each occasion received o zee
for his services. That was what no law

Colonel Elicit closed by an appeal TO the
audience to stand by him as "A Democrat
who had always been true TO his party
and his people.
At the close Of the meeting Chairman
owen announced that the delegates from
Swansboro' would be elected by a pri-
mary. This announcement was followed
by a hubbub Of voices. some demanding

was almost impossible for the chairman
10 restore order. and he could not De

gentlemen became very excited, and per-

Finally Mr.. owen obtained silence, and
stated that with the approval ,of botn
candidates he had been empowered to act
that he had decided on Friday as the time
and had appointed a committee OF nVe
citizens OF Swansboro'. which comprised
friends Of both candidates, and who would
decide on the manner Of holding the prI-
