WINSTON N c. THURSDAY OCTOBER 1884,

that was where the desert is now the
very day that Aeneas and Dido went
fishing on it. l hope he'll succeed.
There are few things Frenchman
can't do, except it may be eating his
soup without fly in it, or making
his breakfast without frog marmalade
and mushroom mullins. Tiue la De
Lesseps!
In the remote difficulty this country
is reported to have had with her
mother, from 1776 to 1874, an unhung
scoundrel named Arnold prostituted
his high office in the Revolutionary
army to his own personal advantage
pecuniarily, took sundry whopp;ng
big bribes from the British, and went
over to their side. lie was not hung,
as he ought to have been; but he met
with Just damnation here and hereaf-
ter. About one hundred years after
the time of the said Arnold, another
unhung scoundrel named Blaine pros
tituted his high Office as Speaker in
the national Congress to his own per
sonal advantage pecuniarily, accepted
the very biggest kind of bribes from
Railroad lobbyists to use his influence
in furtherance of their nefarious
schemes, and ,cent over to their side,
leaving his honest countrymen of
course to go to the ID. He is not
hung yet, as he ought to have been.
The historical parallel between him
and B. Arnold is perfect thus far; but
it must stop here till after the election.
If, after that event, he don't meet with
Just damnation, our country will be in
about as bad fix as if all his compa-
triots had joined Arnold in his British
stronghold.
And now, my patient reader, ap-
proach sacred ground. The light jok-
ing style cannot enter this paragraph,
for [ am going to mention, with the
reverence that belongs to it the name
Of the immortal WASHINGTON. Illus
trious father of thy country, if, from
thy home on high, thou beholdest the
present crisis, and thou could point
out the man to us on whom thy man
tie should now fall, honestly believe
that man would be CLEVELAND. Pure
and stainless was thy record, guardian
of thy country's feeble infancy, and
such record, in kind if not in degree,
is his. May thy mantle descend upon
him, and thy country and his, now
sunk almost to the depths of prostitu-
ton and ruin, be elevated to its form
er enviable position among the nations
of the earth-brave, honest and liber-
ty-loving America!

style, forever making for himself a
reputation as forceful debater, and
at the close of his speech one Ct the
loudest cheers that for many years has
been heard in the town of Leaksville
was given in honor Of his complete
victory over old man Joyce.
We had the pleasure of partaking
of the hospitality of Col. J. D. Glenn,
Col. of the 3rd n C.. Regiment, from
whose hands we received the most
careful attention and hospitable treat
ment. Col. Glenn represented Rock
ingham in the last Legislature and is
candidate this year, and when the
votes are counted in November next,
he will lead off with the largest vote
ever polled in Rockingham.
AT RUFFIN.
Here the discussion created consid
erable enthusiasm, resulting in a grand
victory for Mr. Glenn, it being con-
ceded by all that he was decidedly the
winner of .honors of the day.
Mr.. Joyce in the most contemplate
way took up large portion OF his
time in abusing and villifying the
Democrats for not abolishing the In
ternal Revenue, while he excused the
Radicals, and they being in power for
nearly "a years; whereupon to his
surprise, Mr.. Glenn proved that there
had been twenty bills introduced by
Democrats and two by Radicals and
that furthermore there had never been
q reduction or modification in the In
ternal Revenue, but what the bill
originated in the Democratic ranks.
Again Mr.. Joyce misrepresented Mr..
Glenn ON the Blair bill, causing Mr..
Glenn to rise to his feet and apprise
him of the fact, Mr.. Glenn here pin
ned him to the wall as to whether he
was going to support York and Ed
wards, Joyce replying that if York
and Edwards could not take care of
themselves they would have to go.
ing he said or advocated, could in the
remotest way, be construed into but
very lukewarm Endorsement of Blaine
alone.
Mr. Reid spoke at BlackweIl's to a
very large crowd, and heard a man
make the assertion that his speech had
made fully fifty votes. To-day, for
the first time, he meets his competitor,
Col. Edwards, for joint discussion.
ITEMS.
The tobacco crop generally is fine
and will make a large yield.
Miss Emma Scales, of Rockingham
sustained a great loss recently by fire,
in the way of a fine dwelling house,
where she had tobacco stored away in
a room, caught about II o'clock at
night and supposed to have been an
incendiary. Loss estimated at $4,000
or $4,000 dollars.
Mr.. w. L. Blackwell, of Reidsville
made a marvellous escape from being
drowned in Haw River last Tuesday,
by accidentally falling into the stream,
and had it not been for the aid of
John Walker, Guss Burton and 9TH
ers, he would have lost his life

A SENATOR'S STORY.
How Mr.. Vance Sailed Between DenomRationa
ScyIIa and charybdis.
Bill Arp in the .AHanta Constitution.

Bill Arp IN the atlanta Constitution.
/ heard Zeb Vance telling how he
captured the vote Of backwoods set
tlement in North Carolina when he
first ran for Congress-. He said he
had never been in that settlement be-
fore and didn't know the boys. He
rode over the mountains, and found
about sixty sovereigns at crossroads
grocery, and he got down and hitched
his horse and began to make their ac-
quaintance and crack his jokes around
and thought he was getting along
pretty we'll with them, but he noticed
an old man with shaggy eyebrows and
big brass spectacles sitting on a chunk
and marking in the sand with stick.
The old man didn't seem to pay amy
attention to Vance, and alter awhile
Vance concluded that the old man
was bellwether of the flock and that
it was necessary to capture him, so he
sidled up close to him, and the old
man got up and shook himself and
leaned forward on his stick and said
solemnly: "This is Mr.. Vance, l be-
lieve?' eyes, sir" said Vance. "And
you have come over here to see my
boys about their votes, [ believe ?"
Yes, SIR said Vance, "that is my
business
"Well, sir" said the old man, "afore
you proceed with that business would
like to ak you few questions"
"CertainIy, sir" SAID Vance.
"What church mout you belong to?''
said the old man.
That was a sockdologer-Vance
didn't belong to any church. He
knew that gion and meeting were
a big thing in the backwoods, and
controlled their politics, but he didn't
know what their religion was, for
North Carolina was powerfully spot
ted. But he said: "Well, now, my
friend, I will tell you about that.
Well, you see my grandfather came
from Scotland, and you know that
over in Scotland everybody is Presby-
terian." He paused to note the effect
but saw no sign of sympathy for his
grandpa. "But my grandmother came
from England, and over there exery-
body belongs to the Episcopal church" !"
Still no sign of sympathy. "But my
father was born in this country in a
Methodist settlement and so he grew
up Methodist" Still no sign of ap-
proval from the old man, and so Vance
took hit last shot, and said: "But my
good old mother was Baptist, and it
is my opinion that man has got to
go under water to go to heaven"
The old man walked up and taking
him by the hand said: "Well, you are
alright, Mr.. Vance," and then turn
ing to the crowd, he said: "Boys,
he'll do, and you may vote for him ;
| thought he looked like Baptist all
the time
Then the old man slowly drew a
flask from his coat-tails and handed it
to Vance to seal his faith.

1nsulted Them in the Past by Sending
Ignorant Carpet-Baggers to Manage
Thoir a fairs.
Report Of Speech il, Detroit Post and Tribune.
VIM. Livingstone, Jr., presided at
the regular meeting of the Second
Ward Blaine and Logan Club last
evening, and a glee club sang some
excellent campaign songs.
The first speaker was the Rev F. A.
Blades. "The question before the
country" said he, sis whether the Re
publican party shall be continued in
power, or the Democratic party ad-
nitted 20 the control of National af-
fairs. To my mind there is one SER
Gus objection to the latter course. The
Democratic party is not a national
party. BY all its traditions and acts
it is a sectional party. In none of its
recent platforms has it receded from
any of its old States rights doctrines.
Its history is the history of sectional
ism. When the slave power was the
dominant power, the Democratic par
ty vas always obedient to it, and when
Stephen A. Douglas attempted to
broaden the party it became divided,
and Lincoln was elected. They sag
that iUe must not raise the question of
,car, but protest that the bloody shirt
should not be buried ,ntiI the Solid
South IS buried. [1pplouse.l If the
Democrats aciU insist on bringing for
,oard the Solid South they should be
made to smell the bloody shirt. The
Democratic party is not broad enough
to take in tho whole country. Has it
ever stood by measure that contem-
plated the good of the whole country !?
Has it not always seasoned its polite
al measures with Southern salt If
there ever was time that the saying
of the prophet that men shall glory in
their shame is true, it is the present
time, and the instance | would cite is
the Democratic party glorying in the
solid South
81 am satisfied to retain tfe Repub-
lican party in power. When in March
1860, it came into possession Of the
administration, it received Il heritage
OF poverty. The credit of the country
was wretched; the country itself was
in DISORDER Yet it has put down a
great rebellion, united the country
and fostered its industries. 1t has
made great record. You may ex-
anime the history of the world and
you will not find history So glorious
as that of the Republican party"
[Applausc.l
Mr. Blades concluded with an elo-
quent reference to the Republican
candidates. Blaine he considered Il
man of brains, a man of heart, man
who would be an American President
of the great American nation. Blaine
the statesman, and Logan, the soldier,
formed a combination that would re-
ceive the support Of people Of every
class.

newspapers should continue to
agitate, until the work is compile

Of the towns and townships are in
order for subscriptions to the road,
we propose that the citizens of
Easlcy Township call mass meet
ing, to be held in the interests of
our Railroad, at this place on some
day not in the distant future. Let
all get together and talk over this
grand scheme, and adopt such
measures as will soon call for a
large subscription. Onr Township
should subscribe at the least fig
ures, ten thousand dollars to the
construction of the road. The
people are better able to give that
amount now than they were to give
five thousand when the Air
Line Road was built. This Town
ship in subscribing ten thousand
dollars, will greatly aid the build
ing of the road. 1t Will be to the
Township lasting enterprise, and
one that will bring to our Town
ship a thousand times the amount
invested in it. The County sub
scribed one hundred thousand to
