WINSTON, N. O., Sept. 27.-The storm
came, the thunder rolled along the
mountains, but now there is calm sig
nifcant of funeral day.
Never before in the history of Forsyth
politics has the county heard such cam
paign oratory as was heard in the court
house here last night.
AS was announced in my letter yes
terday, the negro candidate for Congress
9. b. Moore, accompanied by man
named Granderson, came up from
Greensboro for the purpose of speaking
to the negroes of Forsyth county on the
Brewer ring.
At exactly eight o'clock the colored
band played on the green while the
negroes and about fifty white men en-
tlrely filled the court room. 1t was eyi-
dent that at least half of the negroes
were for Brewer but it was a sad night
for them.
After being introduced Moore arose
and declared himself Republican,
but not in favor of every little devil that
the party chose to run for public office.
In speaking of the denunciations heaped
upon him by men of the Brewer STR pc,
he declared that there was not soul in
all the world that could point to an act
of his that was dishonor to himself as
man or his race. 81 cannot be intim-
idated nor scared off by such unprinci-
pied demagogues as John M. Brewer,
and despite the calumny that
has been made I thank God that
truth, crushed to the earth, will rise
again" He denied the charge that he
had ever voted save for a Republican,
and after speaking of the charge made
that he was running on Democratic
money he turned to some of the Brewer
men who were Kissing and asked them
who paid them to go about saying so.
He spoke of his race as being Graded in
Republicanism and asked the negroes
about him If they had sworn eternal al
legiance to that party because the Re
publican party of 1661-65 had freed
them. He showed the difference be-
tween the party of '65 and the party Of
80, and declared that The warfare now
ragged was to let that party Of 80 under
stand that the negro knows his rights
and daTes maintain them. eve as a
down trodden race, have not enough
true dignity OF character, fortitude and
| love Of moral justice, and though some
may call me traitor Of the Rapubllc8 \
| party, thank God they cannot charge me
with being traitor to my race. Loud
applause I would rather stand alone
in the fight than to be counted with the
thousands who allow mon Cf the
Brewer stripe to stand upon their necks
and whip them with the party lash.
| (Cheers by some and Kisses by the Browe,
crowd) The negro is waking ur
in all other lines save politically and il
that we are retrograding.
What does Brewer care for the negro
after the elections Why, the darkey
shouts himself hoarse over the victory
while Brewer goes about laughing in his
sleeve He is vile migrate and has sc
treated my race that shall, with all the
intelligence and manhood of my nature
protest against him, fight him to hi
teeth until the wrong has been 1ighted
Revolutions never go backward, but for
ward A revolution has started in th,
old Fifth to-day that cannot be cried un
der. You fellows that are trying to clo|
its wheels had better get out Of its wa.
or else be rolled over"
Moore then began his attack OF
Brewer. He charged him with being
dishonest man, liar and a slanderer Q
his race. Here viewed his record in Con
gress and, mid the widest of eXcitemen
in the large crowd, branded him as
base misrepresentation Of the people tina
elected him. Winding it all up he declare
! that" whatever may come and under wha
ever circumstances l may be forced, b
the help Of God, Charles 81. Moore wi
be found in the field as long as Johni
Brewer" The negroes applauded hil
loudly and cheers went up from the e.
1 cited crowd.
$ But the greatest speech was yet

must say that one of the strongest, mos
caustic political addresses | have evs
