DUSTRY F1ROM PARALYSIS.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 5. The state
republican convention in session here
today nominated the following ticket:
Governor B. B. Odell, of Orange.
Lieutenant governor Timothy L.
Woodruff, of Kings.
Secretary of state John T. McDon
ough, of Albany.
Comptroller William J. Morgan, of
Erie .
State treasurer John P. Jackel, of
Cayuga.
Attorney general John C. Davies,
of Oneida.
State engineer Edward A. Bond, of
Jefferson.
The speech nominating Benjamin B.
Odell for governor was made by Form
er Governor Frank S. Black, who has
been outside the organization breast
works since Theodore Roosevelt de
feated him two years ago, when he de
sired a renomination. Mr. Black said
the issues now before the American
people were discussed and jsettled four
years ago.
"There is not a new one here," he
continued, "the ghost of anti-imperialism
which stalks to and fro between
Lincoln and Bloomington, with - occa
sional manifestations in Boston, is not
and cannot be made an issue. This
country is, and has been committed to
the policy of growth and it cannot be
swerved from that policy by new
scarecrows erected along the way. The
issues now are as they were in 1896.
They were then met and understood as
completely as the Spanish fleet at San
tiago, they were sunk or run ashore.
The democratic party since then has
been engaged in prying some of them
off the rocks and trying to make them
float. That will never be done. Those
issues will never be seaworthy again.
and if they are the American people
will not embark on them while they
have fluttering at their mastheads
flags with the democratic inscriptions
of disorder, disappointment and de
spair. That party seems never to un
derstand the temper or the intelligence
of the people. It has endeavored in ev
ery campaign for forty years to make
the discarded heresies of the preceding
campaign presentable by joining a live
heresy to the old dead ones."
Mr. Black closed with a eulogy jot
Mr. Odell, whom he presented for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Senator Depew presented the name
of Timothy L. Woodruff for lieutenant
governor. Mr. Depew said among oth
er things: "Free silver, free trade, as
saults on the supreme court and ef
forts to throw away the results cf the
war, a cowardly disposition to scuttle
are threatening the strongholds of - na
tional faith, national credit and nation
al power. Our fight is .to hold the
front. For the purpose we require for
our leaders in our state men of demon
strated capacity, public men who, in
official relations to the affairs of the
government have become familiar with
our .policies and measures, 'and politi
cians who have been so in touch with
the party that they can maintain har
mony within the ranks and present an'
impregnable front and lead a resistless
attack against the forces of the enemy.

for president. The policies of his ad

ciples that he has been the ablest ad

have given us an unprecented national
.prosperity and rescued industry from
paralysis. Not only the United States,
but every civilized and semi-crVilized
country on the globe is today giving
unstinted admiration to the statesman
ship, the generalship and the diplo
macy of William McKlnley."
Coming to the question of expansion
and the argument that that policy is
opposed-to the spirit of the declaration
of independence, Senator Depew said:
"We all believe in the declaration of
independence. We all rejoice in the
principles of that immortal document.
There is nothing which Colonel Bryan
can say In his claim for the exclusive
ownership of the things taught in the
declaration of independence that has
not been more brilliantly said and ac
tually done by republican statesmen.
But when Colonel Bryan went to Ken
tucky, at the time when, under an In
famous election law, the state was to
be stolen by his friends from the offi
cers who had been lawfully returned
as elected by the democrat returning
boards and gave his sanction and the
weight of his great authority as a
democrat to the thieves, where then
was his idea of the consent ofptfe gov
erned? These citizens, of Kenjeky
who were to be deprived of their rights
and governed without their consent
were not tribes of an archipelago in the
Pacific ocean, but they were men who
had performed heroic service for a hun
dred years in the battle for liberty and
citizenship."
Mr. Depew closed with the statement
that the republican ticket in this state
would be greatly strengthened by the
nomination for lieutenant governor of
Timothy L. Woodruff, who, he said,
represented in its best sense the busi
ness man in politics .nd who meets all
the requirements of the ever discussed
question in the colleges of the educated
man in politics.
Mr. Odell in accepting the nomination
said:
"Important as the state issues are,
they are overshadowed by matters in
volved in the national campaign. To
my mind the paramount issue is the
re-election of William .McKlnley. Re
elect him and the policies already in
force and to be inaugurated will place
us upon a higher plane than ever be
fore and we shall enjoy the fruition
of our home for general prosperity.
Every dollar of obligation will continue
to be worth one hundred cents, and
wherever our flag floats, it will be re
spected because American manhood
has baptized it with blood."

MOCXDY DISCUSSES THE GOVERN
MENT'S POLICY IN THE PHILIP
PINES AND DENOUNCES THE
"ISSUE OF IMPERIALISM" POW
ER GRANTED BY THE CONSTI-
TUTION.
Robbinsville', Graham County, Sept:
4. The Ninth district congressional
campaign was opened by the joint de
bate between the Hon. J. M. Moody,
the republican, and the Hon. W. T.
Crawford, the democratic candidate,
here today before as large an audience
as the court house could comfortably
hold.
Mr. Moody opened with a clear and
forcible presentation of the issues of
the campaign, logical and convincing,
and free from ranting, in strong con
trast to the speech of Mr. Crawford,
who shifted from one subject to an
other with such rapidity that it was
hard to remember anything but his
jokes some of which were good.
Mr. Moody said in part:
"The people of Graham know me.
They are acquainted with me and I am
acquainted with the people of Gra
ham". I was nominated by acclamation at
Waynesville at one of the largest con
ventions that has ever been held in
this country and I am proud of being
the standard bearer of the great party
with its glorious past and its promise
of usefulness for the future.
"When I cast my first vote the demo
cratic party were clamoring for a
chance: a chance to show what they
could do if they were given the power
to do it. Well they got their chance
at last for the only time in nearly fifty
years, when under Cleveland in his sec
ond term they had a majority in' both
houses. What did they do with their
perfectly free and untrammeled
chance? The people of the country
gave their verdict when congress be
came overwhelmingly republican at the
next election. Crawford was an elec
tor on the Cleveland ticket in 1888 and
I heard him call Mr. Cleveland the
"Man of destiny," one of the greatest
and grandest men the world had ever
seen. I call on Mr. Crawford right
now to tell this crowd what he now
thinks of the only president his party
has put in office for so manv years.
"The republican party is proud of
every president it has had. I have no
apology to make for its presidents, its
history or its achievements. It is the
party of achievement, the democratic
party puts in all its time and energy
in kicking about what the republican
party is doing. They have accomplish
ed nothing themselves except to bring
on the hard times that could only be
relieved by putting the republican
party back in power.
"I spoke here during court term last
June, and I told you that if the democ
racy won in the August election in this
state its majority would come from the
black belt. In the great white belt of
the state here where the blue hills lift
their peaks towards the blue heavens
where the love of human liberty is
i drunk in with the pure water of the
mountain springs: here where I was
born in a little cabin by the river there
within sight of this court house the
amendment was defeated. Crawford
spoke in almost every township in this
district and urged its adoption. I op
posed it and I still oppose it, and I
warn you that the time will come after
it goes into effect July 1, 1902, when
some democrat will disfranchise the 11-

literate white by going into court to
claim that 'grandfather clause' is un
constitutional, as it is, and that there
fore votes of illiterate whites are void.
"The twelve blackest counties of the
state gave over 21,000 of the 60,000 ma
jority claimed for the amendment. The
twelve whitest counties in the state
gave the largest majorities against It.
"I favor fair elections. The history
of the democratic party does not show
that it does. I have one fear and but
on : fear.- If we have a fair election
and a flr count I will go to Washing
ton as your representative in congress.
"There were frauds enough right here
at home. At Flat Creek 221 republican
ballots were placed in the wrong box
and then thrown out, causing the de
feat of John Stamey for the state sen
ate and electing Mr. Crawford's kins
man, W. W. Stringfield. Were those
ballots in the WTong box by mistake of
the election officers? Not one demo
cratic vote was in the wrong box.
These 221 votes were white votes.
There were no 'niggers' in this. The
negro counties are overwhelmingly
democratic as you know.
"You have all heard of the 'floating
vote.' J. C. Leatherwood, a demo
cratic judge of elections, showed a new
conception of the meaning of the term,
and that the floating vote did not count
for the republican party when after
mistaking, not one ballot box for an
other but his pocket for the ballot box,
he took the ballots from his pocket and
deposited them in the creek that ran
eight steps from the ballot" box. He
was seen to do this, and some men
jumped into the creek and fished out
47 republican ballots, took them to
Joshua Allison's house and dried them
on his stove, brought them to Waynes
ville at 2 o'clock in the morning and
they are now in my safe sealed up and
ready to be used as evidence in the
prosecution of Leatherwood.
"I am against that sort of thing. I
hope my opponent is. I am going to
find out right now.
"Two years ago the fraud was per
petrated in the western part of the
state. It was perpetrated by the dem
ocratic party against Richmond Pear
son and proved before the congress of
the United States, the only tribunal
competent to decide the case, the tri
bunal provided by the constitution.

and proved it.

Black Mountain and proved it.

London, Sept. 5. The admiralty has

The report contains a copy of a letter
sent by Seymour to the chief officer of

expedition. The letter to the chief offi

to Admiral Kempff. Seymour thanks
Kempff for sertdihg a force to act in

sense of the valuable co-operation ac
corded him by Cap tarn McCalia'and alK.

valor of the Americans and expresses a
belief that the participation of the

The majority of the mission stations
