Special Dispatch to the Intel1lgencer.
GLENvILLB, W. Va, Oct. 5. : In
spite OF his refusal and his lodging,
Candidate Blair was led Into q trap by
his own party, and was compelled to
engage in q Joint discusSion at this place
with Captain Doyener. The latter had
been billed here for two weeks, ana for
some reason. Blair's trlends announced
chat their candidate would speak at tho
same hour.
It IS NO secret that they were surprised
to find both men present. In addition
to the congressional asplrants, Messrs
Kidd and Morris, senatorial candidates
were pItted against each other.
Mr. Blair opened the discussion With
a speech one hour and ten minutes in
length. It consisted Of apologies and
denials for his pagty's past and finally
virtual acknowledgment that It at
present represented no real living issue.
Captain Dovener followed in an hour
and thirty minute talk, during which he
made plain the fact that he belonged
to a party which had issues, and which
represented progressive ideas. BE was
frequently and loudly cheered by hls
audience, and 60 completely Worsted
his antagonist that the latter's thirty
minute reply was 60 weak and his argu-
ment so scattering that he was really an
object Of pity. His own party friends
acknowledge a complete triumph for
Dovener, and openly admit that they
made fatal error by permitting Blair
to attack foeman with whom he was
unable to cope.
Seeing their standard-bearer 80 badly
beaten, and hoping yet to get some lit
tie glory out of the afrair, they proposed
half hours talk each by Messrs, Kidd
and Norris. Kidd is noted for noise, but
the effect of his oratory was soon de-
stroyed by the calm statement Of facts
made by Mr.. Morris. He made many
friends because his simple advocacy OF
the cause Of the plain people made them
feel that his official conduct would be
in their favor. The Republicans are
naturally iubilant, and every one OF
them is more than pleased with the
days meeting. 1t viii make Republican
votes in Gilmer, and leave the party
harmonious and in the best OF lighting
trim.

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgeneer.
SUTTON, w. Va, Oct. S.-Captaln B.
B. Dovener was advertised to speak at
this place last Saturday, and long before
the hour appointed for speaking the
town commenced to MI up with repre-
sentative men from all parts of the
county. number of Democratic farm
ers being among the gathering. Prompt
Iy at / O'Clock, the hour appointed for
the speaking, the court house bell was
rung, and in very few minutes the
spacious court room was crowded to
almost double its seating capacity,
among whom were a number of ladies.
Hon. W. E, Morrison, member Of the
congressional committee for this county,
called the meeting to order, and In a
few appropriate remarks introduced ].
NJ. Foster, esq, of Weston, who made a
short address, full of patriotism and
common sense, which was . credit to
the talented speaker.
After a stirring piece Of music by the
Sutton band, Mr.. Morrison introduced
the speaker OF the day. Captain Dove
ner, who was greeted with a round OF
applause that shook the very walls Of
the building. The captain was at his
very best and for two long hours ne
held the vast audience spell-bound with
his eloquence, dealing out to the eager
multitude the glad tidlngs of restored
prosperity.
A more enthusiastic and appreciatlve
audience was never assembled in the
court house. The meeting closed with
three rouslng cheers for the gallant
captain, in which 1t seemed that every
one in the court room tried to drown
out the voices of the others. after which
the party hand-shakes of the throng nl-
most lifted the captain OF the floor. TAX
Ing II all in all, 1t was one of the best
meetings ever held in this county by
the Republicans.
