men and laborers, assembled at the
Banner warehouse Tuesday afternoon
to hear a political speech the like of
which,for depth of meaning and foree-tulness
of expression, it is not often
the privilege of our people to hear.
D. Scbenck, Jr..introduced the speaker
of the occasion—lion, .lames H. Pou,
of Johnston county—and for two solid
hours he held the wrapt attention of
the crowd while he so forcibly present-ed
the vital issues of this campaign.
Mr. Pou came before our people not as
a caudidate for any office, but as a
plain, patriotic North Carolinian plead-ing
for the best interests of our citi-zenship.

Mr. Pou opened his speech by saying
that, in this campaign, three great
principles were embodied in the plat-form
of the Democratic party which
were found in no other political party
in North Carolina—government by the
people, principle in politics and white
supremacy. Aud upon this platform
all honest white men of the State, with-out
regard to previous political affilia-tions,
are asked to stand. The fact
there are men in other parties
as much honesty and sincerity as
found among the members of
the Democratic party is recognized.
But this is a campaign in which men
of all parties can say to party passion
