VOICES FOR GLENN
Resolution by the Club at
Winston.
Mr.. Glenn Issues a Circular in Reply
to Certain Hostile Statements
Which Have Recently
Appeared.
Especial to News and Observer.

Winston-Salem, N. c., June g.
The Sentinel gives the following re-
port of a meeting of the Glenn Demo-
cratic club, held here this afternoon:
THE meeting to be held at Green's
boro tonight to rally the forces of
Guilford county to Major Stedman
was discussed, and their call for an
expression of Indignation at alleged
slanders of Mr.. Stedman was consid-
cred as queer 1t is we'll known that
secret circular containing false
charges against Mr.. Glenn, issued on
the eve of the Democratic primaries
in Wake county, was traced to the
friends of Mr.. Stedman, and such poll
itics. while effective in Wake county,
does Mr.. Stedman's cause no good in
ton was adopted by the committee
and the club:
Whereas, secret circular, issued
in the county of Wake, on the eve of
the Democratic primaries and false
in its statements and calculated to
injure Mr.. Glenn has been traced to
the friends of Mr.. Stedman, and
Whereas, we learn that an indig-
nation meeting is to be held at
Greensboro tonight to denounce al
legged slanders of Mr.. Stedman:
cratic club condemns recent unsigned
circulars rejecting on the character
of any candidate. That no slanders
or secret circulars have been issued
against any opponent by the friends
of Mr.. Glenn and none Will be. That
the secret circular trick issued
against Mr.. Glenn on the eve of the
primaries in Wake county too late for
the truth to be made known should
l. u oil Tlnv fS
That we hope the Stedman meeting
at Greensboro tonight will condemn
the false and sanderous methods
adopted in Wake county,
"The club unanimously agreed to
use it's influence to suppress any and
every species of anonymous attack
on any candidate
A Circular Issued by Glenn.
Meanwhile Mr.. Glenn has issued
the following card:
ITO the Democrats of North Caro-
lima:
"A secret unsigned circular con-
Meeting my name with Judges Boyd
and Purnell as recommending Cover
nor Russell for Chief Justice was cir
culated by the friends of Major Sted-
man in Wake only a day or two be-
fore the primaries there, June 4th,
ing me because it was too late for
me to reply. This circular so con-
Meeting my name with Judge Purnell
was cOvertly and designedly issued at
the very time when Mr.. JOsephus
Daniels editor of The News and OBJ
server, a prominent Democrat and a
leader of party though, was under
arrest by order of Judge Purnell,
thus attempting to take advantage
of ;,,I nf &c
on account of this unlawful arrest.
"'This circular was false. l never
signed q letter with either Judges
Purnell or BOYD but did sign one to-
gether with Democratic members of
the Winston bar notably Hons. G. b.
Watson and Clement Manly.
my reasons were these | was a
member of the State Senate and the
joint committee that framed the suf-
frage amendment l had given more
than ninety days canvassing for it. 1t
was ratified by the people. 1t was
likely to be attacked in the courts
at any moment. My heart was set
upon it's ultimate legal adoption. just
then Judge Faircloth died. A Repub-
lican would of course succeed him
1t seemed certain that unless Russell
was made Chief Justice, Furches
would be. / was reliably informed
that KuSStll WOult uJllOltl TIC otlilcllu~
ment as constitutional and that
Furchhs was of the opinion it was
invalid Actuated doubtless by the
same worthy motives, many able law
yers and true Democrats in the State
endorsed Russell for Chief Justice
Among the list I notice the names OF
Judge c. M. Cook, Hon. Geo. Roun-
tree. Judge r. /. Osborn. Col. Ham
c. Jones' Messrs. Boone, Bryant and
Biggs, Messrs. John d. Bellamy. H
McClammy and M. Bellamy, all or
most of whom I learn are now warm
supporters of Major Stedman. I be-
lieye that the splendid and mighty
Democracy of this State gives its
condemnation to such secret and art
fully devised schemes to unjustly re-
fleet upon candidates in party con-
tests.
