GRAND RALLY AT DUNN
AN IMPOSING AND BEAUTIFUL PARADE
GRACEO BY LADIES.
Not Since the Vance Campaign Of 1876 has
Such Scene been Witnessed on the
Upper Cape Fear.

Dunn, N c., September 15.-(Special1
The Democratic rally at Dunn to-day
was all and more than its promoters had
hoped The crowd was estimated by
conservative judges at 1000. The
speeches of Hon. r. b. Glenn and Hon.
C. r. Thomas were fully up to the high
standard which these distinguished gen
tlemen have established for themselves
throughout the State The effort of Mr..
Glenn was one of very great power
and resulted in much good. Many for
mer Populists openly renowned their al
legiance to the Fusionists and declared
their purpose to vote the white mans
ticket The street parade was both
beautiful and imposing. The floats,
crowded with beautiful young ladies in
white, carrying banners upon which We're
emblazoned sentiments of patriotism and
devotion to white supremacy. The mar
shalls with their gay equipments
the vast multitude of people in carriages
and on horse back presented spectacle
grand and impressive in the extreme.
Never since the Vance campaign of 1876
has such a scene been witnessed on the
upper Cape Fear. The people are thor
oughly aroused and success to our whole
ticket is assured.
