LocAN's STORE, Rutherford county.
Oct. 1.-Mr. Ewart was absent again
to-day. It looks az II he had finally
bolted the campaign. and If he does not
turn up tomorrow at Rutherfordtou,
we think it would be in order for the re-
publicans to put out candidate to rep
resent them in this district.
There was fine crowd present yester-
day at Dysartsville. the last appoint
ment In Mcdowell, and Crawford gave
Ewart's substitute, Mr.. Spencer Black
is clever Young fellow. but knows
nothing whatever of national politics,
and would have been much better en-
pIoyed IL he had been conducting his
campaign against Will Newland, the
democrats candidate for solicitor. He
will certainly need all the votes he can
get in order to make even a respectable
sum against Newland, who will no doubt
beat him by handsome majority.
AsPRcIAL TOAST.
Some Of the best democrats In Nc
Dowell county are at the Dysartsvil)e
precinct. We took dinner with the
Hemphill brothers. and they are a. thor
oughly hospitable as they are demo-
cratic. They mix little corn whiskey
with their enthusiasm, and withal have
some fine sentiments which they give ex.
precision to on special occasions. For In
stance: lust before dinner the Iold
old gentleman, John Hemphill, went to
take his usual NIP" and before drinking
announced this toast: "Fear God, hate
snakes, keep clean and love the women!"
Last night we spent with James An
drews, ESQ.,, of Cane Creek. this county.
a red hot democrat of the old school.
This morning we drove to this place,
and despite the thrratning weather, the
largest crowd met us which has been
present at any appointment outside Of
Burnsville and Marion. There are about
400 voters in this district, and at least
900 of them were present to-day. Uni
versal displeasure was expressed at Ew.
arts failure to put in an appearance.
CRAWFORD IN FINE FORM.
No building being at hand large enough
to accommodate the crowd. Crawford
spoke in the open air and for over two
hours held the closest attention Of his
large audience. His speech was the finest
logical effort he has made in the canvass.
He literally tore every vestige OF the
mask from the republican party, and
stood it before the people with all its
hypocrisy laid bare. There were num-
bers Of republicans even who came to
hear from Mr.. Ewart why he had NOT
fulfilled the promises made two years age
when he declared that IL the people would
elect him to congress, h. put Harrison IN
the white hosse. and thus give the sepsb
leans control of the government, they
would repeal the internal revenue law
pass the Blair educational bill, give fres
coinage OF silve. and reduce the taxe'
upon the necessaries Of life to the people
II was a most crushing review OF theil
failure to do any Of these things which
Crawford made to-day. and there 10 ne
doubt about his having made a numbe'
Of votes.
