Greensboro. n. c.. Oct. 9.-There was
truly large and an enthusiastic au-
dience out last night to hear Hon. r. B.
Glenn speak. Many ladies were present,
among them Mr.. Glenn's mother and
sister-in-Iaw Col. Glenn was eloquently
introduced by Thomas j. Murphy, Esq,
and greeted by rafting applause.
He commenced by saying the Republi-
can party had laid down the issue in this
campaign or what amounted to the same
thing, Jeter C. PritchardJ had laid it
down. He said Jeter c. Pritchard was the
Republican party and the Republican
party was Jeter c.. Pritchard. The old
game of Simon says wig-wag'' ought to
be changed to "Jeter says wig-wag"
Senator Pritchard says wig-wag and up
goes Hill for Chief Justice, although
poor Undertake and Cook are longing
for the nomination. Pritchard says Wig
wag and up goes Patterson for Congress
despite the fact that poor old Petree and
others wanted the nomination and wanted
it bad. Up in the mountains everybody
had learned to call Senator Pritchard
"Marse Jeter.''
Il am glad | don't belong to a party
like that The Democratic party works
through conventions and the people rule
these conventions | am proud to say
that l belong to Il party that knows no
master and in which every man is
equal.
Passing to he constitutional amend
lnent, the .:peakar said that the men who
framed it could never congratulate them
selves with so much justice on any other
achievement. 1t meant, he said, that
henceforth and forever the Anglo Saxon
will control the destinies of the people of
the Old North State.
Capt. Glenn told of what he saw on a
Northern trip. White men walking with
negro women, black men with white wo-
men, white men and white women, negro
men and negro women sitting down at
the table and eating together in restau
rants; no law to keep a white man from
marrying a negro woman and no law to
keep white woman from marrying a ne
gro man. Roosevelt might dine with a
negro. Captain Glenn said, but the hum
blest white man in Guilford county, was
too good to do So tremendous APP
plause) North Carolina gives the ne
gro his rights, we want the world to un-
derstand that: but God made us the mas
ter and him the servant and we are not
going to break the divine arrangement.
The Republican party claimed now to
be lily white. 1t is because the Demo-
Gratis forced it to be. The treatment
accorded to the negro by the Republican
party is enough to damn that party for
ever. 1t was far worse treatment than
the Democrats ever gave the negro.
Next came the comparison of the pres
ent State administration with that of
the Fusionists. The speaker showed how
the Democrats inherited a load of debt
from the Fusionist administration which
handicapped it in it's work most decided
w. He told of the four months of schools
given North Carolina boys and girls, OF
the appropriation for Confederate SOL
diers, of the provisions for the deaf,
dumb. blind. insane and diseased, and
magnifcently defended the course of the
Democratic administration in borrowing
money to tide over the States expenses
and replied TO the Republicans criticism
Of this act that the Republican admins
tration could not have borrowed penny.
Mr. Prtchard's attitude on the loan
was here dissected in most interesting
way. Captain Glenn brought out the
facts that Mr. Pritchard was against ex-
penditures in North Carolina for public
blessings, but was in favor of spending
yearly 81 62S 900 on West Point and $140,
900 900 for pensioning Union soldiers.
Captain Glenn called on his hearers TO
register and to register now. 1t was
sorry white man, he said, who would
not vote for one party or the other. He
urged every good Democrat to go out and
get him an independent. eve are going
to win" he predicted, land it will be by
a majority of from fifty to seventy-hve
thousand" When he ceased speaking
there was prolonged cheering.
James H. Pou, ESQ.,. of Raleigh was
present and in response to calls arose
and made a few remarks. He. too, pre-
dicted tremendous Democratic majority
in the coming election and said Kitchin's
majority would be even larger than was
anticipated.
