boro or Eastern North Carolina

j Yes, Friday was great day
in Goldsboro and among Demos
Gratis from all sections of the
| State and of all Conditions and
avocations.
| Special trains from cast, wesl
north and south brought hosts OF
enthusiastic Democrats, bands oil
music, and floating banners. The
streets of beautiful Gjldshoro re.
sounded to the tread cf j any hou-
sands of as brave and as true mar
as ever pressed their feet on the
sollof this great country, and with
hearts on fire with patriotism.
marched forward in the pers
fornauce Of a duty which they
owe to themselves, their poster
ity and their God.
After listening to the thrilling
speeches of toe convention
| proper, reported in yesterday
afternoons ARGUS, the great
fhroug was divided, some going
to the Messenger Opera House
and filing it to overfowing to
hear the brilliant, impetuous
and unterrifed Waddell, who
electrified his vast audience and
kindled them to enthusiasm that
nothing less than complete Dem
ocratic victory at the polls will
satisfy.
And not only Col. Waddell, but
New Honover county was at the
big meeting. Wilmington will no
longer submit to negro rule. The
people of North Carolina feel like
pulling of their hats to the brave
men of the city by the Cape Fear,
who proclaim and proclaim on the
house top that negro rule is going
to stop at Wilmington and New
Hanover county.
At the Farmers Warehouse
thousands listened to that great
and peerless Democrat, Hon.
Cyrus B. Watson, who two years
ago led the Democratic hosls as
our candidate for Governor. He
spoke with his old-timc power
and eloquence and gave to the
listening multitude an earnest
message from the West that they
are as much aroused for the sal>
vation Of our grand old State to-
Apglo-Saxon rule, civilization
and progress as we are Of the
cast.
Mr.. Watson was followed by
Hon. E. W. Pou in one of his
Enthusiastically. strong and
convincing speeches.
Then briefly, but transcendent-
ally matchless, amid enthusiasm
that the very sight of him arous-
ed to hurricane proportions, our
own distinguished townsman
Charles B. Aycock, spoke in
thrilling utterances on the issues
of the hour that touched the spot
in every heart as they had not
been touched before. He is the
idol of the whole people of our
State, and wherever he goes with
in her borders he creates the same
spontaneous and cordial tribute
of his peoples love and admira-
tion. He is the second Vance of
North Carolina.
And another gratifying feature
of the great and crowded celebra-
tion was the entire absence of
anything like boisterous demon
stration and i'll feeling. Absolute
harmony tempered the unparallel-
ed enthusiasm, and in the surg
ing throng of thousands, moving
back and forth upon our
streets throughout the day, the
police did not find it necessary to
make a single arrest or SO much
as restrain single individual.
In conclusion the ARGUS would
say: Take the great resolutions
the Declaration of Independence of
the white manhood of North Car
olina passed yesterday-and file
them away among the most val
ued papers to be transmitted to
your children.
