Chairman Manly Thursday ac cepted tba proposition made by Chairman Ayer for a joint discus sion between Mr. Watson and Maj Guthrie, and soon these gentlemen will be speaking fur Bryan and ail ver from the same stump in North Carolina. Judge Russell, who ee cured much support on the claim that "be is able to meet any man on the stump," has been invited by both candidate to a j int discus sion, atd has run from both. He left yesterday afternoon fo'r the mountains, confident that Watson and Guthrie would so manage the debate as to let the pcopls forget he is running on a gold standard plat' form, and that he bought his noml nation. He has an idea that by cowardly running to the mountains he will be the one to profit by the joint discuefim. He will find, on the other band, that the people will be told every day if his malevolent spirit; the position of his parly; and that Guthrie aLd Watson will tell the people that, while the differ ences between the Democrats and Populists are comparatively slight, there is a great gulf fixed between any man who wants free silver and good government and the Republi can party and Daniel L Russell.

It is true that during worship rocks were Ihrowncn the church by a set of rowdies. But tbe people were ei pecting it, and had the church guarded, and it was those who were on guard, and not the rowdies, who did the shooting. And of course none of the bullets 'entered the church.

It his been a long, long time tines I imposed through the me dium of the prees, ny of my "ideas" upon tbe good people' of Concord and Cabarrus cnunty, and I now hope that these few lines may not be allowed to crowd some thing useful out of the valuable columns of The Standaud, and 1 trust further that my silence may be a sufliciffut excuse for my iinpo-. sition upon tbe editor's good nature, at this time. Some of my friends have written tne to know why 1 do not write something on politics, th&t my friends in the South may know how the storm-clouds appear at this side of the national horizon. Well, to tell the honest truth, I am some, what disgusted with the whole po litical layout. For the benefit of those who have paid me the compli ment of asking me wLat of tbe sit. uition here, I will, however, say that in my opiuion, the Southern people had better remain loyally by the Chicago platforn and ticket. Tbey can elect Bryan and Sewall, if they try. There is no doubt about this being a fact. The Republican party here realizes tbe gravity of the situation, and, in hopes of quieting the troubled waters, have directed Marcus Aurelius to empty the "barrels." And he is doing it They count confidently upon Ken tucky and North Carolina placing their electoral votes in the Republi cm column. Thus, they have al lowed Bradly and Pritchard to "work them" for apart of a "bard" at leajt. The KoCky Mountain States are truer to the South than the South is true to itself. Viewed in this light, which is certainly the true one, the Populist Convention held in Concord a few.days ago is a travesty si ty upon political honor. William J Bryan is more than America's brightest statesman ; he is an ideal American. And Sewall is certainly no more objectionable than Tom Watson. No one has anything to gain by the operations of tbe gold standard, except the man who loans money ; and I can't see that the terrible contraction can possibly help him, unless it be in enabling him to become absolute owner of whatever property is mortgaged to him, or of that which he holds ae collateral security. lie is enabled to do this because it is next to impos sible for the debtor to pay the prin cipal of a very lare note. After the moneyed-class get all the prop erty, I expect to see most of them tuin to very rabid free silverites, to the eud that they may sell in a flush market tbe goods they have captured with this golden cork. screw. Those who remain gold bugs tifter tbe dawn of that evil day, will be the men who would establish a wealthy aristociacj whose government shall be by tht aheer power ofmoney. The "sound money" Democratic (?) convention, soon to meet and put out a ticket, is admittedly a side show following up tbe McKinley cir cus. It is hardly necessary to add that it bin the usual following of pickpockets. Now, I have given my personal es'imate of Bryai ; except that, I have giyen tie facte as they appear to me here in this gold-bug coun try. If my friends of the Populist Party in Cabarrus county, and North Carolina, and ev?ry other Southern State, who make Sewall an excuse to their consciences for delivering themselves, body and soul, to tiie Republican party, c uld be here aud watch the whols thing jnat as it is, and bo allowed to see what a pain fully small figure they are cutting, they would (most of th.ea are hm- est) return to their political home. 1 wish to aay that there is cm thing to be e:ul to the everlastin: credit of the late Populist Stute cou yention: It howled u.
