GIVES WAKE THE CO. BY"
His Friends Say It's Useless For Him
to Make a Canvass.
THEY PREDICT FOR HIM CERTAIN DEFEAT
The Hon. lack Reinhard', Of Lincoln, Reported
as Preparing d BIZ to Abolish TIE
Chils on Clark's Cree k. in
Lincoln County.

Mr.. e. w. Pou. the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the Fourth district,
spoke yesterday at two points in this
county-in the day at Rolesville and at
night at Wake Forest. At both places
he had large crowds and he made most
effective speeches. So far the canvass of
the district has been most satisfactory
from a Democratic standpoint.
The Republican candidate, Mr. Giles,
made two speeches in Chatham and then
quit the hunt. His appointments in Wake
this week are being filled by Mr. Menden-
hall, the Radical elector for his district
Giles says he'll resume his campaign next
week in Nash. but some of the Peoubl.
cans here seem to think he'll do very
little more in the way of canvassing the
district. They say that neither the can
didate nor the voter expects anything
other than defeat and that it is folly to
waste time and money making a canvass.
The Populist candidate, Jenkins is do
ing absolutely nothing, but swearing that
he won't come down.
Reports from the appointments filled
by Mr.. Beckwith, the Democratic elector
for this district, are to the effect that
he is making a strong and convincing
argument on the issues of the campaign.
COL A. NJ. Waddell has been called to
Baltimore to attend at the bedside of his
wife, who is i'll at hospital in that city.
His appointments to speak, therefore,
have necessarily been postponed till la
ter date, due notice of which will be
given hereafter.
The Newton Enterprise suggests that
as Catawba furnishes both the candidates
and the delegates to the Populist Con-
gressional conventions, that the next con-
vention be held in Newton. The dele
gates to the recent convention were ].
Fl. Sheriff. and @. A. Setter, of Catawba,
and one man from Cleveland.
We see from the Lincoln Journal that
Representative Jack Reinhardt wants to
meet all his constituents at Lincoln court
next week, and find out what measures
they desire him to push He is making
two promises; first to have every Lincoln
county Confederate veteran pensioned,
and second, to abolish chills on Clark's
Creek. The Newton Enterprise promises
that if Jack is successful in carrying OH.
the second promise, Catawba county will
help to send him to Congress.
Speaking of the campaign now being
made by Congressman KluttZ, the States
vile Mascot says: His speeches are on
the high plane which should be expected
from a member of Congress. He deals
frankly and fairly with every question,
seeking to win only upon the merits of
his party. No district has a more wor-
thy representative and this one never
had one who was ADLER or more faithful"
The Winston Republican forsees Black
burns defeat for Congress in the Eighth
district and it expresses the belief that
some of the Radicals in that bailiwick
are not doing their duty. 1t adds
Some are making sacrifices in order to
make our ticket win. but there are 9TH
ers who do not seem to realize the great
Importance of electing their nominee to
Congress- Blackburn is not exactly the
kind of fellow that would inspire even
Radical to make sacrifices.
Hon. ]. c. Buxton has Just completed
his canvass of Surry county and it's people
are greatly pleased at the outlook for the
election of a Democratic representative
from the Eighth Congressional district
He spoke at Mount Airy on Monday
tight to a large audience in the opera
house. After the speech was concluded
a Bryan and Buxton club was organized
with an enrolment of more than one
hundred Jealous workers in the party.
Geo. W. Sparger was elected president
and W. ID. Siler, secretary.
On Tuesday he spoke at Dobson, and
was most cordially received. Mr.. Bux-
ton has practised law for several years
in nearly all the counties of his district,
and has won for himself many friends, be-
sides deserved reputation for honor2.5,e
dealing with the people.
