A GLORIOUS DAY FOR THE mECkL'N'
BURG DEMOCRACY.
.sa-..... nv Candidates Scott. Hutche-
son, Chambers. Goode. and d. W.
Woo.-Other Notes.

CnAsE Cry, Va. October 27.-Lass
night was glorious one for the Demo-
cracy here. The demonstration was
spontaneous and the enthusiasm IN
bounded. The meeting was held IN
large warehouse, and the crowd about
equally divided with white and colored
people.
Major r. b. Roberts called the meet
ing to order and introduced James L.
Hutchinson, candidate for House OF
Delegates, and the senatorial candiu''e;
Thomas w. Scott, OF Charlotte. both OF
whom made ringing speeches. when
elected loud cheers from the entire au-
dience, and huzzas for straight and out
spoken Democratic sentiments.
THIS WAS scoRCHER.
Next comes Mr.. Edward Chambers
Goode. OF Boydton, who was gwen the
most profound attention for one houf.
With intrepid bearing and unflinchln8
words he assailed the enemies OF De
mocracy in the county. He knew where
thew stood, the methods they we're using
in this contest. and he stripped them Vi
their disguise and exposed to the people
their hldeous and crooked ways. lie
publicanism under the mask OF AN
ancism could not be thrust upon tDe
people of Mecklenburg. One OF these
81 called Alliance candidates voted the
full Republican ticket at the last election
and the other found it convenient to
STAY away from the polls on election
day. Such was not the Democracy now
needed in the councils OF the state.
His speech made good impression on
the audience as evidenced by the re-
peated applause.
OTHER SPEAKERS.
Colonel Hampton Hoge had been adj
yertised to speak. but failed to reach
here in time, but wired he would be
here this morning. Mr.. j. W. Wool, OF
Charlotte county, accompanied Captain
Scott and he was substituted for Colonel
Uoce. Dir. Wool is young lawyer OF
fine appearance and splendid address
and captlvated the audience at the start;
He was well informed about the local
aspect of the campaign and leaped at
once into the ranks of the enemy and
hurled his spear right and left regard
less of whom was struck. He exposed
and denounced the felsehoods which had
been sent from Charlotte in regard to
disaffection existing there III the Demo
cratic party aud branded the author
whom he called by namel as unworthy
of belief and whose affiliations ana
sympathy were with Eppes. the ALI
ance- Republican candidate for the Sen
ate.
PAY THEIR EXPENSES.
Eppes had promised to pay the ex-
penses Of the Republican delegates from
Charlotte to come down to Mccklenburg
and endorse his nomination for the
Senate in a meeting held 10y the Repub-
Leans OF Mecklenburg. The chairman
of the Republican party Of Charlotte and
some few delegates did come and per
formed the bidding of Eppes, but he re-
fused and did not pay their expenses ms
promised. So now fires are all around
Eppes in Charlotte, the Republicans
spurn him, the Alliance rejected HIM.
and the Democrats disown him, and that
county will give ], 800 majority for Scott;
II was q long time before the crowd
would let Mr.. Wool stop; and this his
first appearance upon the political arena
in Mccklenburg WAS n triumphant sue
cess which would lie gratifying to speak
ers of maturer years and greater expert
ence.
A SMALL FOLLOWING.
Colonel J. Thomas Goode, the Al
Internationally the Republican can
didate, spoke to meeting here yester
day evening. When the writer entered
the building he counted twenty seven
negroes and five white men vino constI-
tinted his audience. The irrepressiblc
radical negro, Ross Hamilton. followed
| Colonel Goode from the same box, and
Hamilton's purpose is always to inilu-
ence his sable hearers against the white
people and the Democratic party. How
any Democrat can vote for a candidate
with such support is yelled mystery.
The fires will be kept burning in tho
county all the week Scott will he
elected beyond doubt, and the re-
election OF Hutcheson is almost as wei
assured.
