EONn Creek township.
Mr. EDIToR-On Saturday, August
18th, there was a large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Tilden and Vance Club
of Town Greek township, held at Bell
Swamp P. 0. (McKeithen's store) A
large number of new members came
forward and enrolled their names as
members of the club. The members of
the Democratic Conservative party in
this township show an earnest zeal in
their intent to break down the barriers
of radicalism and to aid i'll the great
principles of reform so much needed
throughout the length and breadth of
Onr .untry. After the business of
the meeting, Col. John u. Taylor ad-
dressed the club in ali able and forcible
manner, devOting special attention to
explaining the proposed amendments
to the constitution; and to contrasting
tbe constitution 40 amended with the
Present one. Col. Taylor's speech was
listened to with great attention and
received the universal appreciation OF
all present. Every member of the
democratic Conservative party liz our
vicinity that L have heard from is
strongly in favor of the adoption of
the constitutional amendments, not
outstanding they were told by the
hadlcal canvassers last summer, with
tneir usual political veracity. that the
convention If held wonld cost four or
nVe hundred thousand dollars, and
that II the Democrats should have q

Pole Raising and Speaking at
Rocky Point
MIR. EDIToR: Yesterday was a iubi~
liant day for the Democracy of Pender.
It was the meeting of the Democratic
Club of Rocky Point township at
Rocky Point depot, with numbers Of
our brethren and some Republicans
from different townships, and IA few citi-
zens from other counties. The occa-
sion was the raising of our rilden and
Vance and Engelhard poll and flag at
Rocky Point depot, with the signifi-
cant insignia of Reform, &o., inscribed
upon it's ample folds. The inspiring
banner now proudly floats in the
breeze upon its pole one hundred and
ten feet from the ground. The at
tendance was fine and the spirit ami
mating, hopeful and auspicious. There
is no mistaking the high purpose, the
lofty patriotism, the ennobling spirit,
which moves the unselfish an fearless
democracy of the infant county. The
speakers invited by the club were
those war-worn Democrats of Duplin,
John Ell. Stallings and John ID. Stan.
ford, elector for this district, and our
own gifted, popular, and nobl son of
Pender. Charles w. .McClammy. These
able and effective speakers were grace
fully introduced to the Assem- 5led
crowd by that educated, popular and
promising son of Pender, Thomas j.
Armstrong, Jr., who is the worthy
president of the club, which sis
called the Tilden. Vance and En-
gelhard Club. The name Engel-
hard is added, not alone because he
is now and has always been favorite
in Pender. but because of his long and
faithful services to the party, strug-
Cling hefo1cally for the best interests
of North Carolina when the hearts of
many of our bravest and best were in
gloom, dependency and despair on
account of the sword then hanging
over their own necks and the Radical
heel of oppression and tyranny which
then crushed our forbearing and mag
unanimous people. Nor is this alone
the cause of the devotion of the Dem
ocratic masses to Joseph A. Engel-
hard. 1t is owing also to the record of
that history which proclainls the
truth that the privileges we now have
of discussing the constitutional
amendments, of working for the ami
mating cause of reform in North Caro-
lima government, as the result of the
Iabors for the State of Engelhard and

FOUNDER of our principles, Mr.. Stall
1ings, confined himself to an exposi-
| tion of these amendments, and his
calculations were clear, cogent. pow
erful and convincing. He made a
deep impression for good. and added
to his high character and great popu-
larity in Pender. If our friends in
other counties are wise they will seek
