NO. 13.

Bledsoe, president Of the Tilden and Vance
Club. The old war Governor looked calm
and serene as he mounted the stand, and be-
meath the folds Of the Stars and Stripes
g the pride OF every American freeman -
he talked to the immense multitude, some
two or three thousand, for two and a half
hours about the corruption and rascality
in high places. His speech was a very able
one He leaves for Eastern North Carolina
tomorrow, and expects to speak every day
from now until November.
Tonight the city is ablaze with Demo-
cratic enthusiasm. Bonfres are burning all
along Main street, while eyerand anon rock
cts are. being shot into the air.
General J. M. Leach, Hon. D. G. Fowle,
General W. R. Cox, Captain S. T. Williams,
and F. II. Butzee, Esq, are addressing one
OF the largest crowds tonight ever assem-
bled in Raleigh since the war upon an occa-
sion OF this kind, while the speakers are de-
livering sound doctrines and the masses are
loudly applauding. A balloon has been
started heavenward, and has taken direct
northern course, as if intending to carry
glad tidhgs from North Carolina to Tilden.
From indications here I think that the De-
mocrats can safely count upon electing their
entire State ticket in November by an over
whefming majority.
While Vance was speaking this morning
the windows Of the Yarbrough House and
courthouse were crowded with ladies.
