Mr. Aycock was appropriately introduced to the audience by Mr. A. G. Mangum and for two hours held his hearers completely under the sway of his matchless eloquence and unanswerable logic.

Taking up the State Republican platform as adopted at the Charlotte convention and published in the Charlotte papers at the time, the speaker mercilessly riddled this document with unanswerable argument and biting sarcasm. Having criticised the increased expenditures of the Democratic administration for certain worthy purposes four years ago in a 'ain hope of catching votes thereby, the Republican party in North Carolina this year has made a complete and promises to do even more for education, for the insane ard for the old soldiers than the present administration. The Republican platform only promises what the Democratic party has already performed, and its reputation for keeping its promises is distinctly "shady," Passing to national issues the speaker gave his hearers the most force and convincing exposition of the relation of the tariff to the trusts that has been heard here during this eampaign. The only hope of deliverance from a complete domination of our political life by the great in-lustrial and commercial combines, he declared to lie -fn the victory of the Democratic party in this campaign and the consequent abolition of the iniquitous protective tariff.
