OCTOBER 2. 1880.
The week inst past has been one OF much
oxci,emeut 10 our people. We have had
nnh,,c sneakine at four different places In
this county during The week-appointments
heretofore made by Colonel Cabeli On
TUESDAY last. that being court-day, we bad
a discussion at our courthouse. participated
In nv our Democratic congressional eiector
and Messrs. Davis, StoyalI. and Cabell, con-
oressional candidates. Early in tue morning
of Tuesday the friends OF Hancock Eng
fish. and Cabell boosted beautiful banner
made by fair hands. It's foIds pore the
names Of Hancock. English, and Cabell.
At 10 O'Clock NJ. the crowd was called to
order in our COURTHOUSE ball by Mal0r
Critz. OF this county. who. in an sppropri-
ale speecb. introduced our elector, Captain
Redd, OF Henry. This gentleman made a
fine impression. He speaks well, and his
fine address and calm and digni6ed man.
ner and sensible ideas rivet the attention OF
his hearers. and make him very popular
sneaker. The elector through, the candi-
dates proceeded TO address the crowd In or
der as mentioned. Mr.. Davis's reputation
Ms a sneaker Is we'll known in this State.
He possesses many OF the elements OF the
orator. He speaks with power and force /;
has fine conception, splendid imagination,
and handsome delivery. tic urged the
election OF Hancock and English as para
mount duty with all true Conservatives ana
Democrats, and so anxious was be for their
success that rather than seem in the least to
hinder that result, this true and tried old
patriot has since withdrawn from the con-
test. All praise TO the Hon. Ii. A. Davis!
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Davis's speech
II was announced that the crowd was 80
great that the house could not begin to ac-
commodate them. Amid some confusion
they were adjourned over to more conve-
nient place in the open air, where we bad
ante a spirited discussion between Colo
nels Stoyall and Cabell. The former occu-
pied nearly all OF his time in discussing
State issues, interspeising his remarks with
anecdotes. They were exceedingly funny,
Judging from the demonstration OF the
"falthful allies"
srovalPs time up, Colonel Cabell was re-
ceyed with the widest applause, and how
grateful was this 10 our true and tried pub
lie servant. | never saw the Colonel in
better plight. He gave an interesting ac-
count OF his stewardship, and then took up
bis competitors record rs politician and
as a legislator, and showed c0nclusyely
that be was tickle and unsafe as leader and
unreliable and Inefficient rs representa-
tive.
StevalPs friend. those who had inteli
geuce enough TO comprehend the situation
acknow lodged that CabelFs victory was
complete. The latter's friends were de-
lighted, and cheer after cheer was given
him at the conclusion OF his speech, when
well.known wit cried ont, "Where did
Toney hide the wedge?"
On the Thursday following Colonel Cab
ell addressed the citizens OF this county at
the Meadows Of Dan, where he courteously
divided time with Colonel Stovall; on FIJI
day AT Gates's Store, in this county, with
like division O! time; and on Saturday at
Willis Gsp, where he met large crowd
from Carroll and Pulaski. At each OF these
places the voters by large majority were
with Cabell, and his triumph was conceded
by every one. At the last-named place Sto-
vail was completely demolished, and the
great Readjusier champion in this district
was routed and driven from the held horS
de combat. At each OF the above places
Captain Redd spoke, acqntting himself TO
the entire satisfaction OF his friends, and
rendering efficient service, and showing
conclusivey TO all that the ticket OF the l!lh
OF Nav was the true one for all good Con-
seryatiyes. DAN.
