Elizabeth City, N. c., May 5.--The
campaign was effectively begun here to-
day by the addresses delivered by
the Democratic State candidates.
From the platform erected upon the
court house green under clear skies
and beneath waving trees Charles b.
Aycock delivered one of the most eff
fective orations heard here since the
days of Vance.
The candidates, the party being
composed of c. B. Aycock, w. d. Tur-
ner, b. II. Lacy, b. l.. Dixon and r. ID.
Gilmer, reached here from New Bern
at a. m. and were welcomed by a com
mittee of the White Supremacy Club.
At IL a. IN. "a grand procession form
eel OH Poindexter street and paraded
the chief thoroughfares of the city
The procession was headed by the
mounted police followed by bands
ind the gubernatorial party i'm car
riages then followed. There were ve-
hicles of every description decorated
with flags and bunting showing in
the sun. The procession was more
titan half mile in length and the can
didates were met with cheers as they
reached different portions of the city.
When the party arrived at the court
house green an enthusiastic audience
of fifteen hundred had assembled to
hear the standard bearers Of the
white mems party Large delegations
from Dare, Currituck. Camden and
the surrounding country were in evil
dence in the concourse gathered at
the court house square, and for two
hours and half they were entertain
ed by the clear and forceful logic of
w. ID. Turner and the matchless elo-
quence of G. b. Aycock, the speeches
of both being punctuated with cheers.
Both discussed fully the chief ques-
tons of the day and unquestionably
won many votes for the Constitutional
Amendment. Aycock fairly destroyed
the arguments of Pritchard and the
Republican leaders as to the weakness
Of the Amendment and placed before
his audience clear conception of the
whole intent and effect of the provis-
ions of the Constitutional Amend
ment.
He touched also upon the evil of
negro oftice-holding, only too well
within the knowledge of his audience,
ard declared his clear conviction that
with the coming campaign the State
would throw off the incubus of the
negro ballot and enter upon a new
era of good government and social
safety.
The East is fully alive TO the meal
cuable Importance to il of the
Amendment, and the work of the cam
paign will be vigorously prosecuted
from now until the election.
