Show V : CAMPAIGNING US THE SOUTH. Senator Tillman says that the liveliest live-liest campaign he ever knew was that for the Governorship of North Carolina when the late Senator Vance was pitted against Judge Settle. The candidates stumped the State in Joint debate. All the white Democrats turned out to hear Vance, and all the colored Republicans were on hand to listen to Settle. . It appears that on one occaston Vance was advised that certain young - women of the State desired to testify their devotion to the Democratic party by kissing its candidate for the Gover- norshlp. Not unwillingly, Vance descended de-scended from the platform and kissed a doren or so of the young beauties; then, pausing in his pleasant occupation, occupa-tion, he turned to his competitor and exclaimed: "Settle, I'm kissing my girls; now you kiss yours!"
