VI ZIG HViulHdllOu Ol y. II. moore (CO!)
of Greensboro, as the coIored mans can
didate for Congress in this district, fell
like a thunder clap on the unsuspecting
friends Of ''Brer' Brewer in this section.
Moore is a smart negro and all his col
ored brethren believe in him and they |
will follow him n large numbers. Hav-
ing behind his back the organ Of the |
negro voters of Piedmont Carolina, the |
Greensboro Progress, and aided by the |
general disruption in the Radical Brow
er camp, his nomination is virtually the |
defeat Of the Car of Surry who has /
hitherto thought that his colored con-
stituency was doing more talking |
than acting. Your correspondent in
terviewed several enthusiastic Re |
publicans after the news Of this
nomination appeared in the Twin
City Daily and it was very amusing to
hear them talk. Four colored men who
knew the pulse of their race well, assur
Ell me that the negro vote of Forsyth |
woald be given to Moore against Brewer,
and that, unless q great deal Of work
and money is put in the border counties
they will also go against the young Gar.
One OF those blooming white "Reps,"
you often meet with, came in from Surry
county this morning and kindly assured
ne Of the strength of Settle and Brow
or there, stating that both Of them would
carry the county by better majority
than they did the last election Another
Republican from that same county as
sured ne that there was little hope for
Brewer there and that any statement to
the contrary was untrue. He WAS an
anti Brewer man and was hot in his de-
nunciation of him
You never saw men Of the same party
wearing SO many differeut stripes in
your life We have anti Brewer Rapub-
licans, anti-Settle and Brewer RepubIi-
cans, Settle and anti Brewer Repubii-
cans, Goslen Republicans, Farmers Al
lance Republicans and "Buzzaro' Re
pnbicans Nhe latter species signing
their name "Clodknocker' Surely he
true born and genuine Republican, the
one who always votes the straight ticket
must have a coat Of many colors.

Yadkin county yesterday afternoon who
was oveljoyed to see that he had found
newspaper man. did not understand
why it was that he button holed me and
took my arm, aWfully desirous Of Civ
ing me some news. When I asked him
for il, it came quick. He was Repub-
lican and had been nominated at the
county convention Monday for one Of
the highest honors in the gift Of the
convention; and if you could have heard
how loud he was in Informing me of the
| J.; ho Il ~ Io
received, it would have tickled your
Democratic side ribs no little. At the
convention, however, The following
ticket was nominated, and | must con
less thai my informant never forgot &c
tell me, when | reached his name, Of the
big speech he made and the storm OF
applause which I firmly believe still
rings in his anxious and highly imagin
ative ears:
For the House-M. H. Vestal.
For Sheriff-A r Lakey.
For Clert-R E. Hoton.
For Register-J I. Smitherman.
For Treasurer-M M. CrummeIl.
