'- Mr. Wm. P. St. John, President of the Mercantile National 1 Bink of New York, has been forced to resign on acconnt of his free silver ; views. It looks as if the National Democratic.

' The Republican party is the "party of the people,",a fact which is illus trated by the announcement that the combined wealth of the ten members of Mr, Hanna's committee toots up $30,000,000.

Why, we had free coinage up to 1873, and hence up to that time it was never an issue. Since then l has ; been, more or less so, but with limited coinage under the Bjand-Allison act and with the Sherman act, under both of which silver received recog-" nttion, the people were less disposed to agitate that question than they have become since the gold men forced the issue by their attempts to permanently retire silver, and make gold the only money. The advo cates of free coinage propose to. go back to where we were up to 1873; that's all. There is nothing revolu tionary in that. If Walter N. Owens, a farmer of Oklahoma, had not been such a close observer and clever imitatpr he might not now be in the penitentiary. He was a citizen who stood well and was therefore frequently called upon to do jury service. One of the last cases upon which he was called to serve was that of a man indicted for counterfeiting. The tools were brought' into the, jury room where they were closely studied by O wens, who concluded that counterfeiting was an easier and a quicker way of making money than farming, so he made a "kit" and proceeded to busk ness. But unfortunately for him he hadn't proceeded very far in shoving the stuff before he was overtaken by a minion of the law and is now lead ing a retired life in the Leavenworth, Kansas, penitentiary. Die Vossiche Zeitunz, a Western German paper, propounds the follow ing conundrum : "McKinley being a poor man, what does millionaire Hanna expect for his services, and the paying for the organization. of clubs and bribing of newspapers?" Mr. Hanna can take his time to an swer and doubtless will. This is the glorious Fourth, for the 120th time. .

' :-: r. : : ' -.; ' : 1 . . ..-; . ; v In the first inning 'Wilmington made one run, Z slier s being the icky man who crossed the "fan," while High Point failed to score. In the second inning Wilmington ran the score up four more. ; High Point then suddenly "dropped" on to Watson's curves and batted out eight runs. Watson was then relieved by ' Wilmington's Napo leonJoe Strayhorn who soon con vinced the High Pointers that eight was all they wanted. .- Ia the third inning Wilmington failed to score, and some stock went down, but High Point also failed to score. 1 a the fourth inning Zellers and Wat son "didn't do a thing" but hit a home run apiece, which made the score seven to eight in High Point's favor. Home stock was at par. '., The High Pointers again failed to score. Goose eggs were marked down against both teams in the filth inning. In the! Sixth, Oldham, Strayhorn, Far long, Schatte and Graham scored; mak ing the- score 12 to 8 in favor of Wil mington. Ia this inning, Furlong made a single, Schutte a two-base hit, and Senator Coxey Graham a home run, who trotted around the bases singing, "I'm the man that broke the hank at Monte Carlo." Wilmington scored once more in the ninth, but Strayhorn proved ."too much" for the I High Pointers, who could only score goose The game throughout abounded in hervy hitting, snappy playing and ex citement. The features were the double plays by Jones, Ragsdale and Armfield, the heavy hitting of Chick, Jones, Schutte, Watson, Zellers, Graham and Strayhorn, the short-stop playing of Ferdie Johnson, who was always in the right .place at the right minute, the catching of Zellers, the first base playing by Armfield, the field playing of Davis and the pitching of Strayhorn.

The anti-Russell - mass meet'ng has gone into history. Numerically it was quite a small affair; but aside lrom this their allegiance to the Republican party cannot be questioned, and - the meeting will cut a prominent part in the cam paign. - Rev. Leak said that he had hun dreds of letters from life-long Republi cans who avowed that they would never vote for Russell. Leak said that helwould print the letters if it became necessary ;the negroes who were' here were leader, and they have influence at home. A Nash county delegate declared that' Russell could not get fifty Republican votes in his county. .The revolt against Russell is well organized. Just what the defec tion will be it is difficult to state, but it will run in the thousands. . When Russell comes to realize this, if he has not already done so, that long promised letter of declination may be pulled from under the duster. I asked a Populist of note, who is not given to talking and who is well posted, what he thought Russelt would do. He asked the question, what does Russell desire most and what does be hate most. The answer was easy. I said that he de sires to be Governor of North Carolina above all things and he bates a Democrat like i he hates nothing else. "Well," said the Populist, ''Russell will realize shortly that his election is an impossi bility and you can count on it that he will not be astnmbling block for the de feat of any Democrat. - A large part of the Raleigh delegation which went to Richmond returned this evening.

The Atlantic" Coaat Makes Ho Discrimina tion Against Charleston, and the People Come Here Beoauae They Like Wil" xnington Beat. News and Courier. A short time since, the Florence cor respondent of the News and Courier commented upon the fact that large ex cursion parties were frequently taken from all over the Pee-Uee section to Wilmington, and be suggested that the Atlantic Coast Line Road favored that city in the matter, of such rates more than it did Charleston and Sullivan's Island.- A reporter called upon Mr. w. J. Morris, tne ois trict passenger agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, in this city yesterday, and asked him what, if any, preference his system gave Wilmington over Charles ton in the matter of excursion rates. Mr. Morris said: "It is true that we are carrying more excursionists down to Wilmington than we are bringing here, but this is merely a result of the prefer ences of the people and not of any dis criminations in rates. As between the two cities it is not of the. least conse quence to the Atlantic Coast Line which gets the excursionists so long as the people buy the tickets; that is to say, we will do anything in our power for either of them so long as it' makes no discrimination against the other. We have in force to Charleston the exact same rates which are carrying these people to Wilmington and we would just as soon bring them here as to carry them there. But they seem to prefer going to Wilmington and the peo ple of Charleston can scarcely expect that we should discriminate against Wilmington by making an effort to pre vent them from doing so. 'The rates are all right, and I am confident that if the proper people in Charleston would try to attract the people here by adver tising our advantages as Wilmington ad vertises hers that we would get some of those excursionists. It is clearly to my personal interest to have them patron ize my division of the system and my aid may be counted on at all times." WHAT TELLER SAYS. Thinks Bland Little Ahead of Boies Would Advise' All Silver Hen to Bnp j port the Democrats Tioket. "Just now it looks as it Bland or Boies were in the lead, with Bland a little ahead if anything," Senator Teller said to-day, when asked regarding the situation in Chicago. "I believe that the Democratic party will declare for sil ver at 16 to 1. The silver people are too much in earnest to allow a straddle, j "I do not think the gold Democrats will bolt the convention, but they will knife theticket at the polls. The gold forces of the country will be a unit in November." - . 1 "What would you advise should the Democratic party declare unequivocally for sil vet?" he was asked. I "I would advise all the silver forces to support it, for that is the only way we can win.". he answered. "We mnst meet the enemy with a solid front. 1 believe that if the silver forces unite, and there is a genuine silver ticket in -the field on a straight silver platform, we will suc ceed in November. Silver is gaining strength with amazing rapidity in all parts of the country, and I am sure it will continue to grow from now on. It is the only subject discussed, and the adherents of it will gain. The tariff has been relegated and the battle will be on the financial question." Fireworks at lowest prices at J. H . Rehder &-Co,'s. Phone 118.
