WINSTON, Oct. 24.-Yes ~ Hon.
A. Il. A. Williams and John NJ. Brewer
spoke in the opera house here to tre-
mendous crowd. The audience was not
exactly bored, but they aroused no
such enthusiasm as was seen here Tues
day when Billy Barber made the water
hot enough to set the hair and gave
Tom Settle shave SO close that I fear his
political feathers will hardly make their
appearance again SOON.
Mr.. Williams made an earnest speech
and exposed the corruption of the Re-
publican party. He dwelt upon the fact
that Brewer had declared two years ago
| that if they would elect him and Harri-
son, give the Republicans the House and
the Senate, they would abolish the inter-
nal revenue laws and enact such me IS
ures as would relieve the farmers Of
their oppression.
He asked the question if they had
kept their word. He appealed to the peo-
pie to judge.
Mr.. Brewer got up and sawed awhile
on our ears and nerves, and don't think
a single man here can tell you what he
talked about. 1t was a big chestnut and
was heard here on the last Congressional
campaign.
Mr.. Williams in his reply rammed the
Farmers Alliance black balls down
BrOwer's throat. The latter in his
speech made fun of Williams being an
Allianceman, whereupon Mr.. Williams
responded that he had no special dislike
for the Alliance because it black balled
Brewer. Hurrah after hurrah rent the
air as he talked to Johnnie about those
black, black balls that were cast against
him.
While the two speeches lacked good
deal OF coming up TO those of the Solici-
torial candidates, they were pregnant
with argument, proving the fact that
Brewer was not the man to misrepreseat
this district longer in Congress.
There were few colored people in the
gallery who applauded him and [ am
certain that he gained little and losi
much.
Chas. II. Moore, the colored mans
candidate, for Congress, aud L. B
Berry, colored lawyer from Granville
county, will both address the citizens o.
Forsyth county in the Court House here
on Friday night.
To day while il conversation with one
