The Philadelphia Record, gold or

Indianapolis Convention will stand
for both principle and expediency
principle demanding that the Demo
cratic faith shalL have exDosition.
and expediency demanding that
those Democrats , who might other
wise drift to Populism or not vote at
all shall have a rallying ground and
an incentive to turn out on election
day." This is the first intimation
we have had that there was any dan
ger of gold Democrats "drifting to
Populism," which is somewhat re
markable in view of the gold organs'
denunciation of the Populists.
An unsophisticated fisherman of
Nova Scotia raked up on the surface
of the ssa a short while ago about a
hundred pounds of a greasy sub
stance which he concluded would be
good to make soap. But it was no
good for. soap. He threw it all
away except about six pounds, when
some one who knew more about the
whale business told him it was am
bergris, which is worth $3 an ounce.
He sold his six pounds for $288 and
was when last heard from looking
for some one to boot him for throw
ing away about $4,500 worth of the
stuff.
A Press dispatch from West Vir
ginia quotes a citizen of that State
who had been a Democrat, but who
will not vote for Bryan and Sewall,
because he does not believe in free
silver, as denying the report that he
would vote tor Mckinley. sut a
failure to vote for Bryan and Sewall
by a Democrat is practically a Vote
for McKinley. There is no getting
around that however it may be
twisted.

Raleigh, N. C. August 27.
The Southern Express Company has
entered suit against the Seaboard Air
Line system and all their divisions, Jn
order to get their case to continue Sun
day traffic before the Court. The papers
were filed this morning. The complaint
alleges that the Southern Express Com
pany entered into a contract with the
Seaboard Air Line to transport such ex
press matter as they might offer on
each and every one of their trains. The
t-t press Company further alleges that
the Seaboard is running two passenger
trains on Sunday and that in accordance
with an order of their superintendent,
Wm. Moncure, they are stopped from
transporting express on Sunday.
The Express Company applied for an
injunction yesterday before Judge Rob
inson at Ooldsboro. It was granted and
the case comes up September lOtb.
Tne question of fusion on electors by
Democrats and Populists rests entirely
with the Populist Executive Committee,
which will meet sometime during the
month of September. Chairman Ayer
says he will probably call his commit
tee together as soon as all of the district
conventions are held. The committee will
not be complete until that time. Chair
man Manly and ail of his advisers are
anxious for fusion on electors with Pop
ulists, having undergone no change of
mind in that respect. Chairman Ayer
says no such division as proposed by the
Democrats has been carried out in anv
State in the Union, with the possible
exception of Kansas. Mr. Ayer thinks
that any move for fusion between Dem-
crats and Populists should include all
federal offices, and to this end be is cf
the opinion that there should be fusion
on Congressmen and legislators as well
as electors.

said this crowd of boys, who live in the

ticular afternoon they were very noisy,
and when told to leave, cursed him, his
wife and daughters, and were only in

KINGS COUNTY FOR BRYAN.
Oaly Three: Oat of Over Six Hundred Dele-
sater Opposed Hear;y Endorsement.
with only three votes in the negative
out of a membership of over 600, the
Democratic General Committee of
Kings county last night indorsed the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall and
the Chicago platform by adopting the
following resolution :
Whereas The Democratic party in
National Convention assembled, nomi-
ra'ed William J. Bryan for President of
the United States and Arthur Sewall for
Vice President, and
'Whereas, The choice of candidates
by said convention and platform adopted
meets with the cordial approbation of
the Democrats of Kings county: now.
therefore, be it
'Resolved. That the Democratic partv
ot Kings county in general committee
assembled do most heartily indorse said
nomination and the platform adopted by
said convention, and pledge to the nomi
nees our most hearty support.
If there ever was any doubt about the
loyalty of Brooklyn Democrats to the na
tional ticket and ih: platform as well, it
was removed by the enthusiasm of the six
hundred delegates for Bryan and Sewall.
Tbe delegates are representative Demo
crats from every election district of the
city. Thev are carpenters and me
chanics, and men who meet the masses
daily. They are in touch with the
voters, men who know more ot what
the public wants than executive com
mittees or big party leaders. When they
speak or vote in general committee they
must answer the next day to the men in
the ranks who elected them, and when
they practically unanimously declared
last night that there is nothing to find
fault with in either the party's ticket or
platform, they spoke as they knew the
Democrats in the election districts de
manded.

His Own Ste.
Washington, August 25. Among
the many letters received to-day per
taining to club work was one from Allen
Cook, secretary of tbe Central Bryan
Free Silver Club, of Clinton, Ohio, in
which he says :
"This club is the central organization
of the city and county. We have in the
city at this time four other Bryan free
silver clubs, auxiliary to this. Three
are composed ot members of all parties.
Party politics and party names are scarce
ly mentioned here any more. They are
either 'gold bugs, or 'silver men,' and
the 'silver men far outnumber tbe 'gold
bugs. The Central Club has over 600
members ana the lour other clubs have
about 650 in all. making a membership
in Canton oJ 1,250 and the movement is
only three weeks old. Clubs are form
ing all over this Congressional district
with a spontaneity that surprises us all.
I feel certain that McKinley'sown ward,
city, county and State will be carried for
Bryan. Tbe voting population of Can
ton is about 7.200. Nathan C. Hollo
way, who has been a life-long Republi
can, is President of the Central Club."
Compliment to a Wilmiogtoniao.

terday say s:
'Mr. DeLancey Evans' family have

day. First of September he accepts a
position with the National Rice Milling
Company, of New Orleans, the biggest
of the kind in the world. He will be
placed in charge of the buying depart
ment with many assistants under him,
It is an honorable promotion as well as
one of great financial advantage to him,
and is a splendid compliment to his
business ability. Mr. Evans has formed
many attachments during his fifteen
years in Eastern Carolina, which he re
grets to give up; and our people, who
esteem him as a business man and ad
mire bis charming personality give him
up with deep regrets, but our best wishes
follow him and his iuteresting family
always.

not get full value for what they paid, we would say
kindly let ui kaow it. that we may have the chance
to set the matter right. It is necessary. To those
who have never dealt with as we wonld earnestly say:
When in need of Shoes give as s trial. It is neces
sary. To all we extend a most cordial invitation to
wear our Shoes. It is nece sary.
