It was really unkind in the present juncture for the Bangor, Maine, Com mercial to remind Hon. Bourke Cock ran and Hon. John R. Fellows that they helped the combine of Demo crats and Greenbackejs to arry that State in 1880. John Rf ellows and the other fellow are-now pulling for WcKinley, wWa is another illustra tion of ho" the whirligig of politics mak strange bedfellows. If Hon. Henry Watterson be lead ing the "idylic life" he says he is in an "ideal region" it would be really cruel for the gold men to nominate him for President and tear him away trom it, especially when they have men like Morton and Eckels willing to be drafted. Eckels is vounp- but o he will be old enough by the time he is elected. Senator John Sherman has an ada mantine cheek. He gave an exhi bition of it when in his Columbus speech he said this Government had .mfsu,at.bu lu pajr lis UUllgclllUllS in gold or its equivalent." This Gov ernment, never stipulated anything of the kind and Sherman knows it. Southern Russia has been suffer ing from a searching as well as this country. For the past three weeks the weather has been so warm that out-door work had to be abandoned and the mortality increased from 27, 000 to 45,000, as compared with the preceding three weeks. Mr. Hanna has a $100,000 mort gage on McKinley. 1 hat's what it cost to have him nominated. If Mc. be elected, he will 'proceed to tarn over tne .treasury to Hanna, give the contributing manufacturers the "protection" they want and thus pay off the mortgage. In a speech in the Senate, last session, benator bherman declared that he would take the shirt off the poor man's back to maintain the gold standard. We have no doubt of it. Sherman would do anything to serve those who employ him. Consul General Jernigan, at Shanghai, thinks there Is a big fu ture for southern China as a cotton grower, and that eventually it may become a competitor of the South. The Republican and gold organs think Wm. S. Bryan is doing too much talking. .He is for them. HEW AD V EKTIB-EMJEJSTS. Mercer & Eans Notice. Str. Wilmington Schedule.

McRae as Captain, G, B. Sellers First Lieutenant, and James McBryde Second Lieutenant. : The Bryan-Watson- campaign club should have a room, centrally located, and keep "open house" every night.

Jarvis was more than a match for the political acrobat, and kept him dodging throughout the debate. Bryant Jones, the colored youth arrested at the A. C.

Before the same magistrate Hepsy Brown, colored, was arraigned, charged with larcenv of two smoothing irons from Martha Smith, and was sent to jail in default of Bond for her appearance at the Criminal Court. . m a MoKmlaj's Aooep'aaoe. The Star gives to-day extracts from McKinley's letter of acceptance. Its great length precludes the possibility of printing the entire letter in one issue ol 'the Star; bat we will give the full text. probably in two issues, in a day or two. MeKinlev's discussion of the financial question is based mainiy on mere as sumption, and what he regards, no Annht a his strongest points can be easily answered. Not 9 This Cart folly. If a Bryan and Watson electoral ticket is run in North Carolina do not forget that if you support that ticket you are voting squarely against Bryan. A Bryan and Watson ticket cannot poll one-third as many votes as the regular Demo cratic ticket, and, consequently, every ote cast for it would be a half vote for McKinley and Hobart.

Special Star Telezram. Raleigh, August 28. Col. Beneban Camercn has just i re turned from the North, where he went to see candidate Bryan. Cel. 'Cameron was very . desirous of having Mr. Bryan visiting here during the State Fair, but in this he was unsuccessful. Mr. Bryan will- reach here about the middle of September, as formerly stated. Tbe racing programme for the State Fair will be announced this week. It will be the largest ever offered by any State Fair, probably $t.000. A grand circuit has been Organized for Southern State Fairs, which includes Washing- ton, Baltimore, Norfolk. Richmond, Raleigh, Fayetteville and Columbia, etc., in tbe order named. A leading Populist announces that un less the Republicans, take down Massey, their nominee for Congress, the Popu lists will not fuse in a single county in L the district. This -may work in the other counties, but it is not expected that it will affect Wake. Th: Populists and Republicans are too close together lor any power to pull tbem apart. A fusion between the Republicans, and Populists in Walce insures a victory for them, they think, and they are not going to throw tne chance away. Chairman Holton says be is going to manage Massey 's campaign.'He sajs he will carry the district by 2,000 plurality. Holton is only talking. With three tickets in the field, E. W. Pou will sure ly carry tbe district. Haywood s original minstrels, com posed entirely of local talent, gave their first performance here last evening to a packed house. Tbe show is-splendid, surpassing many minstrels on the road. Tbe? take the road to-day, being book ed for fifty towns in Virginia, South and North Carolina. Five of the trout e were with Al G. Field's ' Darkest Amer ica." last season. ( Tbe Southern Railway was contem plating erecting a cotton compress here but it is understood thtt it will be located at Norfolk. A large platform Is being constructed here. Chairmen Manly and Ayer have ar ranged the dates and places for the joint canvass between Messrs. Watson and Guthrie. They are mostly the appoint ments originally arranged for Cy. B Watson. SE. BREEZES. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Croom, of Way- cross. Gawere among the visitors at the Clarendon Club yesterday. Mr. A.

Mr. Richard Stokely is in charge. i ' The September regatta of the Caro lina Yacht Club will be the most inter esting of the year. Announcement will be given later. 'Tbe Class" has been organized at Ocean View, with the following officers: Leader, J. H. Rawlings ; Assistant Ltader, J. D. Lit ham ; Committee on Rules, Lewis Hill, L. S. Siapp, and R. Harriss. This branch is in a very flourishing condition. Yesterday was a delightful day at the seaside resorts. There were quite a number of fisher men at the Hammocks yesterday. They report very good luck. Miss Fannie Williams, of Fayetteville, is visiting her uncle, Mr. Geo. Williams, at Masonboro. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kline returned to the city yesterday, after a week's outing at Ocean View. Tbe canoe race of Saturday was not a scrub race but was the regular race of the club. The reporter is glad to note that the condition of Mr. D. G. Worth is some what improved. BASE BALL. Btanding of Batters of Clubs ot. tbe Na- tional League. Burkett, it seems, is not having every thing his own way this season in batting circles. Jenkins, the little auburn haired Baltimore short-stop, is pushing him pretty closely, and one day last week managed to pass Tebeau's man; however, it was only by a small margin, and Bur kett again passed him Saturday and now leads by two points, The following table, as compiled by the Star "sporting editor," shows per centages of batters who have made aver ages of .350 or better, viz : Burkett, Cleveland ..403 Jennings, Baltimore Delehanty, Philadelphia.. ..401 . 886 Keeler, Baltimore. . . . McCreary, Louisville. . . . ..871 ..868 .868 Dahlen, Chicago.... Stetzel, Pittsburg. . . Miller, Cincinnati. . . Lauge, Chicago ..368 ..867 .865 . 862 Childs, Cleveland... Tiernan, New York. ..861 Smith, Pitsburg . 350 Burke, Cincinnati . . . . 850 Electoral Fusion. The Star has reliable Information that tbe question by Democrats and Popu lists on the Presidential ticket in this State will be definitely decided one way or the other, within ten days. The prop osition made by tbe Stite Democratic Executive Committee to the represents tives of the Populists is still open but unless an understanding is reached within ten days the Dem- crats will make a straight fight all along the line. In the present demoralized condition of tbe Republican and Popu list parties tbe Star has not believed that any sort of fusion was necessary to Democratic success in North Carolina. We still feel that way. Bat, whatever is to be done, it is gratifying to know that it will so soon be definitely deter mined. It is absolutely certain that there will be no sort of fusion on State and Con gressional tickets. There will be a dance at Caro lina Beach Friday night. Tbe boat leaving here at 7.80 o'clock will return by moonlight at 12 o'clock. TRIBUTE TO WATSON. Bob Glenn Praise Cyrus B. Watson Sin cere Christian, Gallatt 8oldler and Faithful Hnabind Winston Sentinel. Capt. R. B Glenn spoke to a large and enthusiastic crowd at Madison on Saturday. He savs old Rockingham is aroused and in his opinion tbe people cannot be corrupted or bought. Capt. Glenn f eels confident that tree silver and Democracy will win. - Here is the text of Capt. Glenn's tnb' ute to "Gov." Watson, made in h s peech at the warehouse here last Fri day night : "la 1879, as poor ss poverty itself. I moved to btokes county to practice law. for some cause Watson and Glenn, then partners, saw fit to like me and took ma into their cases, thus enabling me to make a living for those I love. "Oae of these men, my old friend and partner, Bill Glenn, has crossed over the river and rests under the shade of the trees; the other still lives, though per haps he has long since forgotten his kindness to me, but not so 1. His acts are written on my heart, and now for tbe fi st time I am able to pay the debt of gratitude I owe. For eighteen years he has been one of my most active opponents in the practice of law, and my shoulders still smart under his fearful-blows of logic, and tbe pocket books of my clients have suffered from the force of his arguments and eloquence, yet I say it, to his honor and glory, that during all this time, like a brave man, he always struck from the shoulders and never below the belt, and nave never known bim to do a little, a mean or dishonorable act. I have read and heard of how as a mere boy. he donned his knapsack-, and with musket in hatd, went to tbe lront to fight for a cause he deemed j jst and right, returning ; home with fearful wounds upon his person, as tbe price of nis bravety. "1 have seen him perform his weekly pilgrimage to tne nttie larm near Kernersville to receive the blessings and prayers of a sainted and very wise old' mother. 1 know bim to be a true husband and a devoted lather, and now in tbe zenitn of bis power, and honored with the highest gift of his party, be is not asnameo to acknowledge ntmsell an humble follower of the good God who made bim. "Brave soldier, devoted son, faithlul husband and parent, and sincere Chris tian I hail thee as worthy to be. and mat win oe. tne next oovernor ol our grand Old North State " THE RICHMOND BOLTERS- Oat of a Democratic Voting Pipa.'a'ion of Over Ten Thousand, Ther Could Only Moster Oae Hundred. Richmond Dispatch The mass meeting of bolting Demo crats here night before last was "a dead lailure." Out of a Democratic voting popula tion of between ten and eleven thousand not more than one hundred voters were present and took part in the proceed ings. And yet this small body ot men undertook to elect fifty-one delegates to represent our city in the so called State Convention of "the Democratic party ot Virginia. Tbe meeting here, where there were nity-one delegates to be elected, was smaller than that held in Charlottes ville, where there were only five dele gates to be elected. The truth is the disaffected Demo crats here are beginning to see that this bolters movement is a McKinley move ment in. disguise. Now isn t this so? Is there one man among the bolters who does not know that be is working against Bryan and lor McKinley i Are not they all engaged in a movement tn pull down the Demccratic fences in order to let the Republican wolves into our fold? Surely, and they must know it, for many of them are men of education and experience in public anairs. Tbe bolters Convention, which will meet nere to-morrow will deceive no body. It may pretend as much as it pleases tbat it is "Democratic," but from the lips of its or&tors will come nothing but aouse ol Bryan. McKinley will be handled gingerly. He will either be praised or silence will be kept as to him. The bolters' State Committee may make a feint of asking Secretary Lawless, who is charged with making up tbe official ballot, to recogn zs them as the Demo cratic party, but tbey know what answer they must expect.
