PREsToNvILLE, n. c., Sept. o.
To-day was big day for the people
of Prestonville and the Democracy of
the grand old 9TH District Here the
Joint canvass was opened between r.
b. Glenn and A. II. Joyce, Demo
cratic and Republican Presidential
electors. 1t was a warm discussion.
Hon. James w. Reid made the open
ing speech of one hour and half, and
took his seat amidst perfect cyclone
of applause. A. III. Joyce then arose
without having followers enough to
tender him a cheer Mr. Joyce is
fre-tried Radical but the cause which
he advocated was so weak and corrupt
that his speech was characteristic Of
sucla He made an, ,hour'sspeach on the
tariff and county government. But
when Bob Glenn arose, whose voice is
now reverberating throughout the
hills of Stokes, Rockingham and Sur
ry, echoing back triumph and victory
for the Democrats, the crowd congre-
gated around him, and greeted him
with vociferous cheers. With his tre-
mendous voice, he hurled upon Joyce
and his :party, charges of infamy,
.treachery and bribery. He had only
35 minutes to speak, but during that
time he thoroughly aroused the people
from their political slumbers, and [
fear if he had had much longer time
his competitor would have turned
around and gone back to Danbury,
putting the RAIDS to the trouble of
sending back to some Northern or
Western State like Kansas for Yam
kee Senator to nominate an elector for
Blaine Now Joyce is Blaine's eiector.
l ask him if he mentioned in his
speech the names of either Blaine or
Logan? | ask him if he mentioned
York or Edwards, did he deny that
Blaine had in the past, accepted
brides, time after time, and that he
never spoke of the South only with
the vilest vindic.iveness, and asserting
that the bitterest epithet he could use,
being too good for us. Joyce endeav-
ors to array the Yankee against the
Southern man by referring to that
clause of the Democratic platform,
which says that while the Internal
Revenue is kept on the statute books
we propose to hold it as a sacred fund
to pension and provide homes for
wounded soldiers Of both North and
South; he alleging that the Demo-
cratic party was taking the money
from the hard-fsted yeomanry of our
country, to foster and sustain homes
for Yankees who came down here to
fight and kill us out. Now who is
trying to array one class against the
other, and 80 devoid of facts and
truths.
All in all, the occasion was consid-
cred complete evasion and jubilee
for the Democracy. Mr.. Glenn's ag-
gressiveness and enthusiasm as a cam
paigner has made the impression that
he is entirely too much for his COM
peditor and should this occasion be
considered criterion of the progress
made by Mr.. Joyce, [ feel safe in say
ing that yon can count every vote the
Radicals will get in Stokes on your
fingers and toes.
After the speaking, in company
with Mr.. Glenn, ''the SENTINEL man"
had the pleasure of enjoying the hos
pitality of Col. J. d. Galloway, who
is by the way candidate for the
House of Representative for Rock
ingham, to whom | extend my hearth
est thanks and best wishes for his sue
cess In November next.
sTONEsviLLE
being the next appointment, we safely
arrived, and enjoyed ourselves most
hugely with Mr. f. A, Stone, who
cannot be excelled for kindness and
politeness. And as a wholesale and
retail merchant may he live long and
prosper well.
BY two O'clock the crowd had as
sembled and Mr.. Glenn proceeded in
his usual way to discuss the issues, do
ing so to the entire satisfaction of the
assembly as manifested by.their vocif-
erous cheering. Mr. Joyce having the
reply, undoubtedly failed to make
any impression whatever on the crowd.
He devoted considerable portion
of his time in discussing the tariff,
emitting his county government ideas
altogether.
Travelling through probably the
finest tobacco belt in Rockingham, we
ARRIVED AT LEAKsAILLE,
a town of six or eight hundred inhab-
itants, situated on the brink of the
Dan, while it is gratifying to say that
it manifests divers indications of
thrift and prosperity, being the ter
minus of the d. e. N. r. r. r., and
situated in the centre of fine tobacco
section, only two miles from the great
Morehead factories on the Dan river,
it has some bright prospects of becom-
ing a manufacturing town of note.
Here it befsll Mr.. Joyce to.make the
opening speech. He in most infirm
way eulogized Blaine and no other
Radical nominee, and up to this time
he has not mentioned the names of
Logan, York or Edwards, Mr.. Glenn
scoring him daily for ignoring the
men he represents. Mr.. Joyce gave
as his reason for doing so that the
Chicago convention endorsed him and
he would do so likewise. He misrep-
resented Mr.. Glenn on the Blair edu-
cational bill, when Mr.. Glenn arose
and condemned him for doing it. Mr..
Glenn being on his native heath, ac-
quilted himself in the most elaborate
