WILMINGTON. N. C. Friday Morkino, Aug. 7, 1896 WAT&ON WILL Wll HDrtAW. Asserted Positively in tbe Florid Popu list Convention by a Leader of the Party, Delegate to the St. Louie Convention. - By Telegraph to' the Morning Star. " Ocala, Fla.. August 6. The State Populist Convention, which met here yesterday, adjourned this morning after naming candidates, for State offices. Tbe platform endorses the declaration ot principles adopted by the National Convention at St. Louis, and then con siders State affairs at length, denouncing the Democratic party for the manner in which it has conducted the same. A resolution was offered to the effect that if Sewall did not withdraw in thirty days, S. F. Norton's name should be substituted for Bryan. After much dis cussion the resolution was "withdrawn onrt the fnllowincr adooted: "In ac cepting Bryan, the Democratic nominee, the Populist party has done all that rea son and justice can demand. We de sire a union of all reformers, and a fail ure by Democrats to withdraw Sewall and substitute Watson places the onus of possible defeat of reform forces upon the Democratic and not upon the Popu list party." ! ; In combatting the resolutioa demand ing Sewall's withdrawal, S. S. Harvey, a leader of the party and a delegate to St. Louis, said some Populists walked so straight in the middle-of-the-road that they gradually leaned back and fell over. Mr. Harvey ass:rted positively that Watson would withdraw. Harvey said he knew whereof he spoke, as be had been consulting Popuiisr leaders in several of the Southern Statts. I Af cer the State Convention adjourned, the Corgressioaal Convention met and named toe following candidates : I For Congressman from the First dis trict J. A. Williams, ot Cedar Key. . Congressman from the Second dis trict W. R. Peterson, of Jacksonville. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. "Wheat, Ciraan Oats Closed Lower-Pork Prodoota Weak at a Decline i i Fuses. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. -Chicago, August 6 Everything dealt in on the Board of Trade suffered from weakness and depression to-day. The feeling of enervation was most pro nounced towards the close, and it was then that the lowest prices were estab lished. There was no disguising the fact that confidence has been badly shaken by the recent failure ot the Moore Brothers and .anxiety over the final outcome of affairs on the local Stock Exchange continues to be felt. Taken in connection with this, a break in the New York stocks but added to tbe apprehension. Holders of wheat sold liberally and short sellers were dis posed to help along dec'ining values. Statistical pews and crop reports car ried little weight. At the openicgof the market sympathy with the declining corn prices was the pio-ninent factor, but later the tone was independent of that. September wheat declined from 88HI to 68Jc.. declined to 56Jc ; clos ing at 56c 2c, per bushil lower than yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and also 2c. per bushel lower. . , - Tbe corn market pame to the front as an interesting affair this morning. Right at the opening a bear raid was made and prices slumped quickly, receiving little support' from any siurce. September corn opened from 25 to 24c, declined to 243c, where it closed 1 to 1 Jc. un der yesterday. Cash corn was weak, selling at a decline of c. and closing nominally a full cent under yesterday. September oats closed c under yes terday.

In tbe South west the drought remains unbroken, and the Signal Service predicted generally fair weather fjr the ntxttb.rty six hours, so prices rallied and advanced sharply. Liverpool responded to the rise here yes terday, New Orleans bought, and fresh reports of damage was received. There was also considerable new buying. The Southern spot markets were generally h goer. Before tbe close there was a sharp reaction, yet the last prices show ed a substantial improvement for the day. Liverpool sold and local operators took profits on th,e big rise.

GEORGIA POPULISTS. I STATE CONVENTION IN ATLANTA. SESSION AT Hon. The. B Wtion the Centrsl Fiaure tn the Show-BpSeohes and Beiolutions Demanding Withdrawal of Bewail on the National Demoorslio Tloket Before JToaion Can ' . be Considered. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. att anta Gk.. Aueust 6. The Georgia Populist Convention was called to order at noon to-day by tbe Hon Thos. E. Watson, chairman of the State Executive Committee, and -as - he mounted tbe platform he was given a great ovation by delegates and specta tors. Chairman Watson made no ex tended remarks, reserving his speech for to-night's rally of the Populists, which will take place at the City Taber nacle, at which w at son win oe we cen tral figure. Judge James K. Hines was chosen permanent chairman. Judge Hines was the defeated Populist candidate for Gov ernor two years ago. J. L. Sibley, of Cobb, was made permanent secretary. Judge Hines spoke briefly, declaring that the Populists were to-day masters of the situation, and that their principles would triumph unless they were very foolish. He said be could not 'go the whole Democratic hog and asked the Populists "not to be alarmed by the silver prating of the foolish chairman of the Democratic Committee." "I be seech you," he said, "to put out a full electoral ticket for Bryan and Watson. It will not do to countenance Sewall, the Democratic nominee tor Vice Presi dent. If we propose to fight the na tionallbanks and great trusts, we cannot tase a man wno is tucouueu nuu uuiu. Numerous resolutions were then in troduced, all of which were referred without debate to tbe committee on platform. Several of these demanded the withdrawal of Sewall by the Demo crats, and took the position that nothing would be considered m the way of fusion on tbe electoral tickets unless based on Sewall s withdrawal as the condition precedent. Tbe committee on platform retired and. tfien the convention pro ceeded to the election of a full electoral ticket, of which ex-Congressman H. Felton was placed at the bead. . At 4 o'clock the convention adfourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock, as it was reported that the com mittee on platform would re quire several hours 4 to adjust its differences, it having struck a snag over the prohibition question. The Prohibitionists' demand an unqualified plank on the prohibition que s. ion, and there is a very strong sentiment in the committee against it. The most- interesting development of to-day was the discovery of the disquali fication of Rev. J. B. Gambrell as a can dfdate for Governor. The State Consti tution provides that no person shall be eligible for the office of Governor who shall not have been a citizsn of the State for six years. Dr. Gambrell re moved to Georgia from Mississippi three years ago, and when the "middle-of-the-road" contingent discovered this they were ecstatic with j oy. , Dr. Gambrell had been practically agreed upon by tbe leaders, and it was understood that it was Mr. Watson's special desire that he should be the nominee for Governor. Tee "middle-of-the-roaders" opposed him bitterly, on the ground that he bad not been in active affiliation with the party long enough to justify this recognition. Dr. Gambrell is a promi ment Baptist minister and an enthusi astic prohibitionist, and it was to catch the prohibition strength and unite it with the Populists that his name was being urged. The discovery of his con stitutional disqualification promptly re moved him, however, and it is now cer tain that the convention will nominate either Judge Hines or W. L. Peck for Governor to-morrow. Peck was the nominee' of the party four years ago, and Hines two years ago. The indica tions to-night are that Peck will be nominated to-morrow, and that Hines will retire in his behalf. Great preparations have b:en made for to-night's rally at tbe City Taber nacle, and Mrf-Watson' speech to-night will announce his campaign policy. Thos. E. Watson made to-night 'his, fit st speech since he was nominated lor Vice President by the Populists at St. Louis.. He had an. audience of 6.000 at the Moodv tabernacle here. Tbe meet ing was for the purpose ot ratifying the nomination of Bryan and Watson. The audience was made up of members of all parties, but tbey were mostly Third par tyites. Mr. Watson argued that as business and population increased the volume of money should.increase, but this has not baen tbe-esje. And if money grows scarcer, it grows dearer and labor and the products of labor cheapens. I Of the Democratic platform and ticket, Mr. Watson said: "They have taken our doctrines, but do not like our doctors. They want to run our brain but insist in putting the engineer off. Their idea of fusion is tbe kind of fusion that there was when the earth quake swallowed the city." Reviewing Mr. Cleveland's adminis tration. Mr. Watson said that tbe fin gers of a member of the Cabinet at Mr. Havermeyer's dictation wrote tbe de mand of the sugar trust for protection. He criticised the administration for the bond issues and for opposing silver leg islation. In concluding, Mr. Watsoa stated that the Populists South and W st would cast their every vote for Mr. Bryan and would demand that Mr. Sewall should come down. ' At the conclusion of Mr. Watson's speech there was a long demonstration. When it was quieted. Seaborn .Wright, of Rome, was presented, and" he made a speech for tbe purpose of capturing the nomination for Governor. He is re garded to-night as the sure nominee to morrow on a Prohibition platform. BASE.ELL. Besnlt of Qsmea Played Yesterday at Various Flaoes. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.

I STATE CONVENTION IN - .: ABIUtWE SESSI.N AT Aoaepi the Fioposition Made By tbe Demo eratio Commute For Fnaion on Su e j ' and Ha focal Ticket. ! By Telegraph to the Morning Star. 1 ' Abilene, Kas. August 6. The Pop ulist State Cotvantion was opened to day by the Committee on Resolutions, which submitted a platform endorsing the National Populists code 'of princi ples, severely arraigning the Republican State administration ; demanding -the enactment of a maximum freight rate bill by the next Legislature. The committee in its report neglected to mention the Populist nominee for Pres dentand Vice President. This was no ticed by the middle-of-the-road element and engendered a fight on the question of endorsing the . candidacy of Watson for Vice President. After a stormy de bate, the names of Bryan and Watson were injected into - the resolutions, and telecrams were ordered sent to the Pop ulist State Conventions of Texas. Geor gia. Pennsylvania and notifying them of the action taken. This, was done at a time when it was known that the con vention in conference committee ap pointed yesterday had reached an agree ment with the Democratic committee Which practically accepted on behalf of the Populists the proposition made by the Democrats to name tbe Presidential electors, and the Populists to name all candidates for State offices and Con- gressman-at-large. The only condition attached to the original proposition was j that if outside of Kansas there were more votes in the electoral college for Sewall, that the Kansas electors vote for Wat son; but if, on the other hand, Sewall should receive the most votes outside of Kansas, that he be given tbeVote of this State. A minority reoort is also in readiness which will demand the nomi nation of a straight Populist electoral ticket. When the afternoon session opened there was a lively fuht over the report of the conference committee, but it was finally adopted and tbe electors named by tbe Democrats at Hutchinson Tues day were nominated. Oae of the elec tors, Morris Cliggett, of Pittsburg, Kan sas, was objected to by representatives of the Coal Miners' Union, on the eround that he was against them in the strike three years ago. The State cen tral committee was instructed to inves tigate the charge, and if it was found to be true.-it was authorized to remove Clieeett from the ticket and fill the va cancv with an accep:able candidate In the fiiht for tbe nomination for Con eressman-at-large, Rjv. J. L. Bodkin, a Methodist preacher, and lately a mem ber of the Prohibition party, was snc cessf ul.

The vote resulted: Frank. 193; Hanson, 166: scattering, 5 Frank is a free silver man. Hanson who was defeated, is a sound money ad vocate. I Resolutions were offered favoring the Chicago' nominees and the candidate named to-day. Hon, Wm.

Afc 111 UiKtV ablv be held during the first week in September. ! Much comment is excited by tbe atti tude of tbe Eastern leaden. While all the Eastern States except New Jersey and Delaware will be represented at to morrow s meeting, tbey will not be represented "by party leaders nor by men who have the party organizations behind them. Neither Mr. Cleveland nor any of the men close to him has spoken a word of encouragement for the move ment as yet. I . Along with the Texas delegates are M. L. Crawford, of Dallas, and J. H. Smith, of Fort Worth. "Down tn our State," said Mr. Smith, "the gold men have allied themselves with this or that party, and the sound money faction has been almost obliterated. Tnere has been too much delay, and I do not think that action at this time will bring out thejull strength of tbe movement- It is apparent tbat there win be not a little opposition to a third ticket coming from the southern and eastern states, where the sound money Democrats pre fer to "take their medicine straight, as tbey express it. and vote for McKinley "I, mvsjif. tb nfc a third ticket is a good thing." said Mr. Ballard, of Atlanta, "but the most of ocr people in Georgia do not believe in it. iney want to see Bryan defeated and belie e that the unst way of doing it is by voting for McKinley." Tbe E-stern people, so far as 1 can letrn, feel very much tbe same way. Another point tbat bold them back is tbat by declaring for a third ticket they might lose their hold upon the organization and once tbey should lose that, they would be practically out of place. I want to make sound money speeches in the campaign. but i would rather ao it in oehail ot a straight sound money Democratic ticket than for a Republican candidate. I wint to be able to look any Democrat in the eye acdflell him I am as good a Democrat as he is." i "Our people," said Col. H. G. Sims. ot Virginia, ' are unanimcus in their de mand for a straight Democratic ticket and platform meeting their i honest money views. We want something for which we can make a straight apvreuivi fight. While most of tbe machine poli ticians in our State have fallen into line. ycu can go along every line of railroad in West Virginia and you will hardly find a Democrat in business who is not willing to vote lor ascuad money ticket. They cannot bring themselves to vote for McKinley, but if there is not another Democratic ticket in tbe field most of them will stay at home, while a consid erable number will be brought into .line tor Bryan. The indications point to a large rep resentation ot distinguished Democrats aside from tbe committee. It is known that at least thirty-five and possibly thirty-nine States will be represinted by committeemen. i The meeting of the committee will be held at the Commercial Club, beginning at 2 o clock to-morrow afternoon, and it is not likely that tbe committee will, at this stssion, determine anything further than the question of whether or not to call a convention. The situation in each State will be can f ally canvatsed before a conclusion j on this subject is reached. While tbe sessions of the committee will not be open to toe pub ic. not only tbe committeemen, but all cf the scund money Democrats who have come to the city, wi 1 be invited in and their views consulted.

Another Bednetion In Freight Charges on the York Biver Iitne. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Baltimore, August 6. The conflict between the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern Railway Company which has lain dormant for the past few days in consequence of the -temporary injunc tion granted oy juage stmonton ot toe United States Circuit Court, was "re newed to day when the York River Line reduced freight grates from Balti more to Norfolk, Old Point, Ports mouth and Richmond, to within - the range of ten cents for first class and four cents for sixth class freights. The reduction in rates is made to meet those now prevailing on tbe Bay Line's new James river route, which it is said baa been cutting seriously Into the York River Line's freight business. This cut is the second to be made by this com pany since the beginning of the rate war between tbe Southern Railway, of which the York River Line is a connection, and the Seaboard Air Line, to which the Bay Line is allied.fcJThe first reduction was on Inly 21, to meet the SSK per cent, cut of the Bay Line, which, how ever, responded with a greater cut. It is to meet the last reduction that the new rates were put into effect to-day. The bearing on tbe temporary injunc tion granted by Judge Simonton will take place at Greenville, S. C, Au gust 15. There will be no fusion in Missi'- sippi and no Populist will be elected to Congress. : SPEED OF ANIMALS. The Greyhound Ieavds the Van, Followed by the Horse and the Bed Deer. Tho following interesting letter con cerning the relative speed of nniruals ap peared in a lute issue of the London Field: The rastosc animal we nave is tno grey hound. Tho next are the race horse, the -red door and tho hare, and then comes the good, big, bold dog fox, which is a fine galloper on good going. In comparison with any of tho above tho fastest foxhound on sound flat turf is as slow as a man mowing grass for haymaking. But if you radically alter the trial ground the above does not bold good. For instance, on rough clods, whether melted or not, a hnre cannot run at all ; hence she generally takes care not to go there, and where greyhounds are kept she habitually lies in ber form near the fringe of a rough fallow, that whon coursed she may quickly be on good going. With such long, powerful hind logs a hare can beat anything up a steep hill. - A. foxhound can easily beat any horse over deep' clay plow because tho horse weighs as much as 12 hounds, and therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunting tho red deer tiros earlier than tho blood hunter, though the horse may not be fast er, but great consideration must bo made for tho discretion of a good horseman, who avoids exhausting deep ground, whioh tho deer plods through. A run of eight miles within the hour in either of the three wet wintry months would lcavo the body of the field behind, but it would bo easy to a riding man on a galloping horso when tho March winds have dried the country, and tho obstacles are -only ordinary. The pace of a run in the shires or the grassy valo of Aylesbury is generally much greater than in any plow country, even the brilliant Fitzwil liani. A Smart Elephant. "Sponkin about animals, to my experi ence tho elephant is the smartass uv the whole caboodle, " said tho ex-can vasmnn. 'I remember back in 1830, when I was with Barnum, olo Emp'rer showod one day that ho could read." "Oh coma offj "I won't eoine off, neither. And I'll prove it to you in about two minutes. Woll, as I was sayin, tho ole fellow got into a Fcrap with the royal Bengal tiger, and, 'fore we'could get 'em separated,. he got his trunk purt.y badly clawed up. After tho scrimmage was over Emp'rer he breaks loose and starts down tho street on a dead run. 'He's goin wild!' somebody hollers. 'Don't you belicvo it,' says I. Now, where do you suppose that there ele phant went to?" "Went to the surgeon's, I suppose. Say, oan't you get up a better yarn" "nw, ho didu t go to no surgeon's neither. He went straight to a little portmanteau shop what had a sign out that said, 'Trunks Kopaired While You Wait.' Of course he had made a mistake, but what do you expect of a poor dumb bruter" Exchange Astonished Herr Meyer. Mr. Yanderbilt went onp day to Mols- sonicr and asked him which of his works was, in his own opinion, his best. Melssonler answered, '-The Chess Play er." "Who does It belong to?" was Mr. Van- derbilt's next question. "To Herr Meyer of Dresden," was the answer. That vory night Mr. Vandorbilt dis patched a secretary to Dresden, who went straight .to Herr Meyer and demanded to know his price. "Fifty thousand dollars," roplied the owner, thinking that he had effectually frightened tbe interrogator. "I tako it," said the secretary to the great astonishment of Herr Meyer, and take it he did. Tobacco and Teetotalers.
