ELEVENTH INSTALLMENT.
The Speaking at Dallas.

Pursuant to a call made by the
Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of Gaston county, a number of

On motion, Col. W. G. Morris was
called to the chair, and J. B. White
was asked to act aa Secretary.
On motion, a committee of three
was appointed to draft a constitution
for the government of said club, and
the chair appointed the following
committee, to wit: G. F. Bason,
Thomas Wilson and Graham Mc
Lean, Esqrs., and after retiring for
a short time, the committee, through
its chairman, reported the constitu
tion adopted by the State Executive
Committee, except Articles 11 ana
12, which was adopted. On motion
the club proceeded to elect perman
ent officers, which resulted as fol
lows: G. F. Bason, president; Dr.
R. H. Adams, of Gastonia; John F.
Leeper, of South Point; Eugene
Lineberger, of River Bend; G. T.
Gamble, of Crowders Mountain: and
George Hines, of Cherryvllle Town
ships, Vice-Presidents. John M.

ries; Miles Withers, Treasurer;

tion the club adjourned to meet at

31st Inst., at 10 o'clock P. M.
JOHN B. WHITE.
JOHN M. RHODES,
Secretaries
After the organization of the club
'till about one o'clock, a large crowd
assembled at the Court House to
listen to the speeches of Maj. C
Dowd, Democratic candidate for
Congress, and Gen. James M. Leacn,
elector at large.
Capt. R. W. Sandifer introduced
Maj. Dowd as our next Congressman.
Maj. Dowd began by saying: The
Issue for discussion la the Republican
and Democratic platforms. We
therefore have a general survey of
the field; we can take aa it were a
birdaeye view of the situation. Up
on one hand Republicans everywhere
are discouraged, they are not satis
fied. You Republican's have to vote
for a man who was not the choice of
that convention. They have put for
ward a man whose record Is bad and
who Is connected with every single
one of the scandals that has disgraced
this country for ten years.
"A Supreme Court Judge denounc
ed him aa a fraud. The American
people are not ready to accept a man
for the Presidency whose character

is not good, and this Is the first time
that a man whose character is not
good was run for the presidency.
All the Southern delegates wanted
Grant; he was the first choice, and he
was the second choice; but the South
ern delegates, composed largely of
blacks, were ignored by the Chicago
convention. And now, down In
Georgia, the colored and the White
Republicans have separated, and
without the aid of the colored people
today, the Repubicans of North Caro
lina would not have a corporal's
guard. What do we get for voting
with the white Republicans, is a ques
tion with them.
"There is universal satisfaction
with our National Ticket. There is
no dissenting voice from North,
South, East or West. All differences
have been settled and united. Gen.
W. S. Hancock was the nominee of
the galleries, he was nominated unaa
imously with a yell and such a sen
sation aa has not been experienced tn
this country for years. Hancock has
filled up the gap that divided the
party. Tammany and anti-Tammany
have shaken hands, the Wallace and
Randal factions of Pennsylvania
have united; in the nomination of
Winfield Scott Hancock the whole
county is united, and Pennsylvania,
which has been under the rule of tne
Republicans for 20 years, will roll
up a big Democratic majority next
.November.
"We have a man to lead us who
will give peace to the whole country.
Then no wonder the Republicans are
depressed, discouraged and dissatis
fied, and the Democrats everywhere
eager and encouraged.
Maj. Dowd made strong allusions
to the counting In of Hayes, and tne
position of the Democrats on that.
"No true patriot or no lover of
peace doubts the wisdom of the Dem
ocratic party at that time, said he.
Maj. Dowd said he had entered
the campaign with peace proclaimed
on his brow, and could not afford to
enter it by abusinj? the other party,
for there are some good and honest
men in it. At the conclusion he was
presented by E. S. Giles, in behalf
of the Dallas ladies, a magnificent
wreath of natural flowers, and the
Major looked happy as he accepted
them with thanks, etc.
O.-F. Bason, Esq., then arose and
introduced Gen. James M. Leacn.
The General made one of the best
speeches of his life; he held tne
audience spellbound for two hours,
being interrupted only at intervals
with roars of laughter. Republicans,
Democrats, white and colored, all
joined In the laughter.
We are sorry that we cannot give
a synopsis of his remarks. We never
went prepared for it, but as the Gen
eral has promised to give the entire
county a hearing, we would do him
an injustice to attempt any further
notice of his speech. Gen. Leach is
confident of the success of the Demo
cratic party.
