Mr. Bryan condensed a great deal of solid Democracy in the following remark taken from his speech at Se dalia, 111. .- "I don't want any man to vote for me because hethinks if I am elected I will help him to put his hand into somebody else's pocket. All i expect to do is to prevent somebody else from putting his hand into your pocket." Mr. Bryan is not indulging in any personalities in this campaign and consequently this re mark had no direct reference to Mr. McKinley, but if Mr. McMinley had been there he doubtless would have felt the force of it. Col. Henry Watterson cables the New York Herald from his roost in Geneva, that "Mr. Bryan is a very nice, well educated young man, wltn a talent for what passes for oratory," but .the platform is awful, and if en dorsed by the people, might "lead to revolution." Well, who is going to revolute? The fellows who can't hold a hand with the people at the polls? Henry talks nonsense. Asssistant BSecretary Hamlin, of the U. S. Treasury department, who has recently returned to Washington from his missionary labors in Chi cago, rises to remark that there will be "no politics"in the next Presiden tial election. Our opinion is that if Mr. Hamlin squints out occasionally as the campaign progresses he wil discover a good deal of politics and pretty red hot politics, too. "It is a matter of regret," remarks the Washington Times, gold organ, "that many sound money Democrats are supporting the free silver heresyon the ground that it is better than a policy of trusts and monopo ly." A matteispf regret, doubtless, to Mark Hanna and-the fellows who are playing McKinley, who hoped to capture Democrats with the "sound money ruse. Gen. Sicklesof New York, gold Democrat, says if Bryan is elected he "will not borrow gold to redeem greenbecks." Of course not. Mr. Bryan believes that the money which is good enough for the plain, unso phisticated American citizen is good enough foMhe note holder, whether native or alien Mr. Hanna is going to have two headquarters, one in the East, the other in the West. From the East ern one he will run the gold business and from the other the bimetallic racket. This is to prevent them from getting mixed. Later on when they get the money matter in good shape they will pull jointly forjthe tariff. The climate of Philadelphia isn't especially noted for favoring the growth and- rapid development of the burglar, but West Philadelphia trots out one eleven years old ol the feminine gender, who is rather pre possessing,, burglarized houses with a ladder, mystified the police and is proud of her achievements. It is very Isind in Washington Hesing, Carl Schurz, et at, to re lieve the German voters of this country of the task of deciding how they shall vote in the next election, but the probabilities are that the Germans, like other people, will in sist on doing their own thinking. Assistant Secretary Curtis told a Washington reporter that he had nothing to say on the political situa tion, but Comptroller Eckels has a great deal to say, and .from the way he keeps on saying it he seems to be under the impression that somebody wants to hearit.

Special Meeting to Tdkj Action in the Mat ter o Biver and Harbor Improve mentCommittee Appointed to Consider the Building of a Ho tel at Ooean View. A called meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday afternoon at 12.30 o'clock, with President JamesM. Chadbourn in the chair, and Col. John L. Cantwell secretary. The President stated that the meeting had been called to take action on a latter which had been received here from Brig. Gen. W. P. Craighill, Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., asking if eighteen feet at mean low water in the river from the bar was sufficient for our commercial purposes; that Charleston and. Savannah have twentv six feet at high water, while Wilmington has only twenty-one, and that we carry on the same line of business that the other two places do. Mr. W. Hr Sprunt said ' it was neces sary, also, that the channel be widened; that it is very easy for ocean steamers to get out of the channel. Col. F. W. Kerchner made a motion that the original project of the Act of Congress, August, 11, 1888, providing a channel with a depth of twenty feet mean low water, and 870 feet wide, be carried out, and that the President of the Chamber address a letter, attested by the secretary, under seal, to Gsn. Craighill; asking that the original plan be carried out, and telling him that it is imperative, owing to the increase of business. Mr. Kerchner's motion being duly seconded, it was put and carried. : The following resolutions voicing the sentiment of the Chamber.were adopted; Resolved, That it is the unanimous sense of this Chamber that it is impera tively necessary to meet the increasing demands of the commerce of this port, that a greater depth of water on the bar and in the river should be secured and that, at least, (the original design of twenty feeet depth at low water and two hundred and seventy feet width of channel be carried out as early as pos sible. Resolved, That the foregoing resolu tion be communicated to Brig. Gen eral W. P. Craighill, Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., by the President ol this (nam- ber. President Chadbourn requested Col. Kerchner to take the chair for a few minutes, which he did. President Chadbourn then stated that It was time the Chamber was taking steps towards building a hotel at Ocean View, for the accommodation of the large number of excursionists visiting the city. He thought they could get people to take stock in it; that it would , require about $15,000,000. Col. Kerchner said there was no rea son why a hotel couldn't be made to pay in Winter as well as in Summer. The hotel at Fortress Monroe, be said, was crowded with people the year around. ; $ , This matter was further discussed by Messrs. W. M. Cumming and Iredell Meares. On motion of President Chadbourn, the chair appointed a committee, con sisting ot Messrs. w. rl. unaabourn. F. W. Foster, John A. Arringdale, D: C. Love and C. E. Borden, to see about raising stock for the erection of a hotel on, the beach. ' The meeting then adj wrned. , BY RIVER AND RAIL. Beoelpta of NvI Btorea and Cotton Yeterdy. Wilmington & Weldon R.

LIFE AT CAMP NADAL FULL OF ENJOYMENT TO THE BRAVE SOLDIER BOYS, i High Temperature Ksfreshing Breezos Annual Inspection of the Begiment and the Naval Reserves-Band Con osrt A German Complimen tary to the W. Jj. I. i Star Headquarters. Camp NadAl, July 23, 1896. Day broke bright and clear over the tented field of Camp Nadal, Drilling by companies was about the first duty in order. The men showed up in fine form and executed the manoeuvres in fine military style. They have jast cause to feel proud cf the progress they have made. H Much good has resulted from the visit of Lieut. Jadwin, U.S. A , who has con tributed largely to the welfare and in struction of the boys. He is very pop ular and theboys seem delighted to have him with them.; The day, while almost as warm as Tuesday, was not so oppressive, for the sun was obscured by heavy black clouds and refreshing breezes were wafted across the Sound, lending to the camp a cooling and pleasant temperature. The health of the camp is marked, the sanitary condition being in perfect or der. Dr. Anderson, Surgeon of the Second Regiment, feels highly gratified Over the health of the camp-, and says from a health standpoint, Wrightsville is surely the place. Annual inspection was held yesterday afternoon and the entire regiment, with out an exception, showed up in fine trim. Everything was as neat as a pin and every man looked as though he had just jumped out of a- band-box, The guns were polished clean and bright, and few flaws could befound. The Naval Reserves were on the scene and underwent inspection also. The tars" were "out of sight," and stood the inspection without a flaw. Everything passed off all right, and af ter the inspection was over, Inspector General Smith congratulated the boys upon 'their fine showing. The inspection, however, was inter- raped by a shower, the rain falling in torrents. It is understood that the Charlotte company wilt" give a german complimen tary to the W. L. I. at Clarendon Yacht Club House on Ocean View to-night (Taursday.) Mr. Warren Johnson will lead fhe german and the Second Regt ment Band has kindly offered to furnish the music, All the Wilmington Light Infantry boys, the Charlotte boys and all the commissioned officers in camp are invited to attend. The german will begin promptly at 8 o'clock. ! A special train will be run over the S eac oast, lea v ing the beach at 11.30 p. m. Those Charlotte boys, and especially the band, always do the thing ' up brown and doubtless all may expect a pleasant evening, j The Second Regiment Band gave a concert last evening at the Clarendon Yacht Club, complimentary to the visi ting military. Large numbers were pre sent and dancing was participated in un til late in the night. The Seacoist railroad, always accom modating and courteous, put on a spe cial train, taking the crowd back to the city at 11.30 p. m. i CAMP notes. ; Old Herricks and his gallant musical boys were the "heroes" of the day. They have certainly won over the girls and arc always applauded lustily. Tobe" Connor dined on the beach last evening, the guest of Capt. W. R. Kenan. Those Chester boys are out o'sight. About six of them came down to enjoy tb.e cooling breezes of the Atlantic. They are the right kind, too;, all jolly, clever boys. Sid. Alexander is in camp, not to men tion old Pat Hardy. They are two of a kind, but the trouble was two of a kind were not in it; somebody held "tripi." P. D. Gold is "mean" on the dance. He didn't do a thing for the "pavilion" yesterday; just tore thj woodpile down. The W. L I. boys are the pride of the camp. I hey certainly have as much fun as any one. i 1 Sergt. 'S. H. Anderson is one ot the cleverest boys in camp. He and "Tobe" are bosom friends. , Capt. Kidd did the generous act yes terday and entertained the!

BRYAN WATSON CLUB. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF DEMOCRATS OF NEW HANOVER COUNTY. Campaign Club Oganissed Offioera Sleeted Speeches Committee! Appointed Another Meeting t o be Hi Id Nex; Wednesday Night. An enthusiastic meeting of represent ative Democrats of New Hanover county was held last night in the Court room at the City Hall, for the purpase of or- ganizing a club. Bryan-Watson Democratic Mr. H. McL. Green, chairman of the County Executive Committee, in calling the meeting to order, stated that he had called the meeting at the request of a good many citizens of New Hanover couQty, anct that he hoped the meeting would weigh the election of officers over carefully before they decided who they wanted; that they wanted only hard- wnrlrprs tr VinlH nffires. He then re quested Mr. D. J. Fergus, of Masonboro township to act as temporary chairman. Mr. tferguvtooK ine cnair ana ine meet ing opened for business. On motion of Mr. Green, gentlemen of the press present were requested to act as secretaries. Mr. Iredell Meares said he thought it would be better to postpone the election of permanent officers until they could get a larger attendance; that a commit tee should be appointed to draft a consti tution and determine upon what officers they needed. He further stated that he not only believed that a club would do cood in Wilmington, but outside as well; that when the Bennett and Green Club was organized it not only helped the executive committee but furnished campaign material, and Chairman Cook, of the State Executive Committee,: had said that he believed that the Bennett and Green Club saved the election. : Mr Meares then moved that the chair ap point a committee of five, to report a week hence. Mr. W. B. McKoy made an enthusi astic speech and was frequently; ap plauded. . Mr. McKoy ended his speech by suggesting pat they go to work at once. J ij Mr. C. HI Robinson said he thought the best plan would be to enroll those present who wished to join the club Col. T. W. Strange said be had the plan of organization for Democratic clubs. . jl . - Chairman Fergus said the chair would entertain no motion until an organiza tion had been effected. Mr. W. P. Oldham said- he thought thev should organize at once; that the best policy was to start to work right away. It they did not they would go away feeling they had accomplished nothing. I Oa moton of Mr. G. J. Boney, the club was named, "Bryan and Watson Democratic Club." t ! . . . Gentlemen present who wished to iain the club, were requested to hand their names to the secretaries. Col Strange said be was glad to note that the first name on the roll was that of the efficient chairman of the County Executive Committee during the time of the Bennett and Green Democratic Club, Mr. G. J. Boney Mr. Iredell Meares withdrew his mo tion. I On motion of Mr. G. J. Boney, the meeting then went into the election of a president. Col. Thds. W. Strange was placed in nomination, seconded by Messrs. W. P, Oldham, H. McL. Green and G. J. Boney On motibn, Col. Strange was elected by acclamation. President Strange, on taking the chair, said he appreciated the compli ment paid him, and also appreciated the kind things that had been said about him. "My ability," he said, "in this cause is far inferior to my desire, but I pledge yqu my right arm; I pledge you my work; I feel it; I know it, that this campaign is going to be an inspiring one. Senator Teller that grand old Republican, rather than compromise his principles, had broken from the ranks of the party in which he had been raised. This is a fight be- tween individuals wanting the right to live and enpy their property, on one side, and a comSination of wealth on the other.; Twice England had tried to get possession of America and had failed, and now they are going to try money as a power.. We must say to her as we would say to the ocean, 'Thus far shalt thou come, and no farther. 'Thou shalt not press a crown of thorns upon the! brow of labor. 'Thou shalt not crucify humanity on a cross of gold.' Gentlemen,! thank you." On Mr; W. P. Oldham's motion, the meeting went into an election cf a secre tary and Mr. L. W. McLiurin was elect ed by acclamation. Mr. Hi M. Foard was elected treas urer by acclamation. President Strange said he would sug gest the (appointment of a committee on by laws and constitution. Oh motion of Mr. Green, the appoint ment of the committee was left to the president who appointed Messrs, Meares. McKoy, and Green. Mr. Green had to decline and Mr. Boney was ap pointed in his stead. Mr. Iredell Meares said he would like to call attention to the fact that there was a gentleman present from Washing ton, ;D. jC, Mr. E. C. Johnson, who would speak to the meeting. Mr. John son was thereupon invited to address the meeting. He said: ' Gentlemen of the Bryan and Watson Democratic Club: I am a Democrat. rA.DDlause.1 It is always a pleasure to meet with Democrats, and when I saw in the papers that you were going to have a meeting, I felt that I would be at home among you. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf, the great body of the common people are aroused in behalf of Democracy. We are working to land one of the grandest of men in the Presi dential chair. I am personally ac- .1 np A quai- with Mr. Bryan. His 'life is onerVomestic, social and political pu rity. He has ever been hand in hand with- the masses against wealth. When our lathers built Democracy, perhaps they didn't know how. strong they were building it; that the majority unbribed, unsolicited, should be the con trolling power; that now there appears to be a conflict in the ranks of Demo cracy, but it is my candid opinion that in November we will all be together. !TAp plause. I cannot believe that j Hill, Whitney and others I could name, who have been good old war-horses in the past, are going to desert when they see two thirds of their people are in favor of this. Another good old organization (Tammany) has declared for Democra cy. Applause j - Now, gentlemen." I thank you and I will rejoice with you after November. Mr. Johnson is in the city on a visit to relatives; he is chief clerk in the Inter nal Revenue service at Washington. On motion of Mr. McKoy, Mr. John son was elected an honorary member of the club. 1 On motion of Mr. Boney, a commit tee will be appointed to get a speaker to address the club at thekknext meet ing.. ' ... On motion, the meeting adjourned until Wednesday night next. A vice president.will be elected from each ward in the city and from each pre cinct outside. RALEIGH NEWS BUDGET.
