Rocky MOUNT, October 1, 1883.
To-day was the regular term OF our
County Court, and 1t having been prcvl-
ously announced that Colonel {: L. ofer-
rail- would address the people large num-
Der turned out to hear him.
have no hesitation In saying that tne
Coloneps speech was the most telling one
that has been delivered ut this place ior
many years. Clear, powerful, arguments
tive, he at times held his audience SPELL
bound by the power Of his fervid oratory,
and Mt others excited universal applause by
some pointed and witty hit.
6. Il. Allen was on hand, and, rs usual
with his party (the Coalition), claimed the
day. On this basis terms were proposed
for a Joint discussion, which were prompt
" declined. Failing thus to arrange a
discussion, Mr.. Allen retired to the court
house, and there addressed his dusky
crowd and a small sprinklins OF white
men, no inconsiderable proportion oil
whom were Democrats attracted thither by
curiosity.
Colonel O'Ferrall spoke in the court
yard. His audience was large, intelligent,
enthusiastic. respectable, and ,ohite.
The contrast between the two audiences
was striking and more pointed than any
speech, and displayed the tendency OF the
concern which now masquerades in the
garb Of the old Readiuster party.
After Colonel OFerralPs speech, Peter
Saunders, ESQ.,, our Democratic nominee
for the House % Delegates, and Colonel
Hughes billiard, OF Chatham. upon whom
our people always call, spoke.
| We have every reason to be encouraged
by tO-day's occurrences, and all agree i'll
saving that never since 1869 have they seen
the people so much aroused. We are so
cursed in this county by inefficient and
partisan officers that the people are ripe
and eager for a change. Franklin will be
heard from in November. and in no I'M
certain terms will sound the death knell u
Mahoneism in the county. PUBLIus.
Great Day for Democracy.

SALEM. October 1.-Maior Daniel spoke
for nearly three hours to large audience
here to-day. His arraignment OF the Ma
hone party was terrific, and his flights OF
eloquence ut times created the widest
enthusiasm. 1t will accomplish great
good. a number Of Readiusters. who
have sided with the Boss up to the present
time. but who do not propose to follow
him into the Republican camp, occupied
prominent seats in the audience. They
are coming over every day. The Demo-
Gratis will carry the district by at least five
hundred majority. Major William NJ.
Ellis, Of Montgomery, is here, and brings
good news from bis county. Bets were
freely offered here to-day by the Democrats,
but were invariably refused.

The Democrats OF Grayson are perfectly
enthused and are very confident. Hon.
John +. Massey met Captain F. ). Blair,
who was at Grayson court yesterday in
place Of Jersey" Jones, who had been
advertised to speak, hut very wisely kept ut
a safe distance from the conflict. 1t would
be vain TO attempt a description OF the
drubbing which Blair received at the hands
of Massey or The great enthusiasm OF the
Democrats and the crestfallen appearance
OF the Coaltionists.
At the conclusion Of the discussion, Mr..
Hawkins, the Democratic nominee for the
House. made most pat. lotto address, and
asked the party TO nominate some other
candidate, assuring them OF his most ear
nest efforts TO elect him.

sentative from Grayson in the last Legisla-
ture. was then unanimously nominated,
and accepted in an earnest speech. He Is
Il true Democrat. Set Grayson down for Il
good Democratic majority.

WYTHEvILLE, Va, October >, 1888.
Hon. John II. Harris met PendletOn here
Yesterday. Harris's speech was 4 mastery
and powerful vindication OF Democracy,
and his eXecration OF Malone and Coali
ton was terrific. He was too much for
PendletOn, who refused to answer the
question a. to who he would vote for in
1884. and asked Harris how he would.
Harris answered that he would vote for
! the man that was the nominee CT the Dem
ocratic party, and told Pendleton that he
could not throw sand in the eyes OF the
people, for they knew how he (Pendleton)
would vote. The Democrats are actively
at work, and aroused, and confident Of
electing Hartman Newbeny, brother OF
Senator Newberry, to the House from
Smyth and Bland.
