WINSTON, N. q. Oct 20.-Saturday
night John Brower's colored Lieutenant,
r. II. W. Leak, editor of the Royal
Knight, spoke here to a large audience
of colored voters in the court house. This
speech was calculated to counteract the
ones made by Moore and Granderson
here sometime ago, a full report of which
was sent to the CHRONICLE, but you may
bet your proof roller that he by no
means set everything straight for his
boss. When he began speaking the
same Kissing was heard that Moore re-
ceived, showing the fact clearly that the
audience was a divided one. Leaks
speech was no such one as Granderson
made, though some better than Moore's,
judging by the wind that was wasted.
He started out by an appeal to their
better natures and the same old songs of
how the colored man was treated by the
white man in slavery times was repeat
ed. Then he branched off into every
| direction mostly in abuse of Moore, tie
colored man's candidate. Moore's whole
effort was in exposing Brower's trickery,
his bad treatment Of his colored consti-
tuency, but Leak evaded that subject
and hardly touched upon Brewer at all
to uphold him Moore did not abuse
another republican save Brewer, and in
stead of Leaks trying to uphold him and
his deeds in Congress, he kept
whipping the devil around the stump by
eulogizing all the dead republicans and
what they did. His speech was no reply
to Moore and Granderson's and no one
would have ever imagined that it was
unless it had been told him.
OF courseth Brewer negroes cheered
him, but still after the great effort of
this lying preacher (for he told some
whoppers) the colored voters went away
yelling they did before, some for Brow
er and some for Moore.
M
Our people are very much put out
bout not getting a speech from Vance
this year. He is sent all around US, but
we are not favored by the committee II
seems that they should know by this
time that Forsyth is the most doubtful
county in the State, and that the records
show that every campaign that Senator
Vance has spoken here, the Democrats
won the majority Of county officers. HI
would receive one grand ovation-sucf
as Winston certainly can give, anu write
this at the instigation Of several s;ooC
