Mr. McKinley says the only way
to restore prosperity to this country
is to go back to Republican protec
tion. Hon. Tohn Sherman acrreps
with him, but doesn't see how the
thing is to be done. In reply to an
inquiry made of him on this line a
few days ago he said, "The only way
in which a Republican administra
tion can correct the evils of the past
is by increasing the revenue by a
new tariff law, and this, I fear, is not
practicable." Well, if it isn't practi
cable why is all this parading and
loud talk about it, and why are Mc
Kinley and Hanna trying to run their
campaign on the tariff issue ?
Hon. Mark Hanna is commended
for his level headedness in telling
the Boston millionaires that the
East ts entirely too confident and
that it will take work (and money)
to run McKinley in. Mark may be
scared or he may not be, but he was
after those chaps for cash and he
didn't want them to harbor the be
lief that Biyan was knocked out, for
that would lessen or stop the contri
butions. Mark is cute. He's after
those Boston checks. .
Some of the organs which find
fault with Mr. Bryan's reminder to
the dwellers in the elegant homes on
the Hudson that they should
think occasionally of the men who
toil in the-sun, might perhaps object
to Mr. Bryan's reminding the -Han-
naites that they should occasionally
think of the toiling millions and not
insist on levying more tribute upon
them to further enrich themselves.
The following wail is from the
Chattanooga Times, . gold organ:
'Democracy' is in need. Her brave
sons will now remain true to her in
her hour of peril." The Democracy
represented by the Times is doubt
less in need. But if it needs money
it can draw on Mark Hanna and
get it.

WILMINGTON, N. C SATURDAY, AUGUST 29,
BICYCLE RACES.
Ibtereitins: Events On tbe Track at Ooean
View The Wtnnera and ihe Pr ae".
The much talked of Beach bicycle
races came off yesterday afternoon at
Ocean View, and were very successful
from every point of view. The 2 80
train on the Sea Coast Railroad carried
down quite a number of bicycle enthu
siasts, who were eager to wager that
their favorites would ' win. Tbe wind
being very high, the course was laid on
the southern part of the beach, the start
ing point being nearly opposite the At
las House. The management had made
all tbe necessary preparations, and the
race passed eff without a hitch.
Messrs. M. P. Taylor & . Co , and T.i
H. Wright & Co., the managers, cer
tainly deserve credit for their untiring'
efforts in getting up the ''meet" and the
successful termination thereof.
The first race on the programme was
a quarter-mile dash. The entries were
J. R. Turrentine, R. G. Rankin, r,
T. H. Wright, Ed Heinsberger and Sain
Hall. The report of the starter's pistol
had not died away before the mighty
"pedal pushers" Rankin and Turrentine
had shown their heels to the other men
and were dashing towards the tape,
Turrentine succeeding in winning by a
very small margin, The time was 82 1-5
seconds, and the pr?zi. the Seacoast
medal.
For the second race, the novice com
bat, one-fourth mile, there were only
two entries, Messrs. Oscar Peck and"
Walter Morris. Much interest was mani
fested in this race, inasmuch as the
young riders represented the two
rival bicycle firms here. Mr. Peck
won the nci by a good margin,
planting the banner of M. P. Taylor &
Co. on top. His time was 84 seconds,
and the prize, a handsome pocket-book;
while Mr. Morris received a soda water
ticket.
The third event on the programme
was the one-half mile open; the entries
being rfie same as the first race. After
a hard fight R. G. Rankin, Jr., crossed
the tape first, his time being 56 seconds,
while "Trilby" Turrentine stuck to him
"closer than his paternal relations," and
came in a close second. Tbe prize for
this race was the Ocean View champion
ship medal.
Last, but not least, was the half mile
tendem race. The entries were, 1st,
Messrs. Taylor and Newkirk ; 2d, South
erland and Wright. -This was an exceed-,
ly pretty race and was won by Messrs.
Taylor and Newkirk. Time, 1 06 8 5. It
is but jast to mention here that the
winners had paced the previous race and
had also acted as starters in the other
races and were somewhat fatigued when
their race was called. All the prizes had
not been fully decided upon; among
them are two crates cf beer. Messrs. F.
L. Huggins and Staart Heinsberger
were judges.
Now that a start has been made to
wards bicycle racing, it is hoped people
interested will aid in building a track for
the wheelmen.
NAVAL RESERVES
Expect
to Get a New Ship to Take
the
Plaoe ot the Nantucket.
The Wilmington D.vision North Car
olina Naval Reserves, which discon
tinued drills during the Summer
months owing to so many members be
ing out of tbe city at the Summer re
sorts, will begin again next Tuesday
night with their regular weekly drills.
The company is now on a boom, and
there are a large number of appli
cations to be voted upon. Com
mander Geo. L. Morton is now in
correspondence with the Washington,
D. C, Kaval Department urging that
tbe ship Lillie be sent here to replace
the old hulk Nantucket, which has been
so successfully managed and run by
Chief Engineer W. A. Furlong and his
assistants Jack Scott and Ed Danforth.
Their work on the old worn-out and
wrecked machinery and engines of the
Nantucket is enough to warrant the bat
talion receiving a new ship of the
latest model. When tbe monitor was
left here by Chief Engineer Hannum, of
the United States Navy, he unloosed
the machinery, stating that her wheels
would never be turned again, as the
ship was played out. Under the bat
talion's orders the three home engineers
began work In earnest and have accom
plished the most wonderful feat of any
organization in the United States, mak
ing a successful cruise in 1893, 1894,
1895 and 1896 manning their own ship
from end to end.

Raleigh, N. C, August 28.
Senator Pritcbard, who arrived in the
city last evening, consulted with his ad
jutants at headquarters and left on the
morning train for Statesville, where he
speaks to-morrow.
It is now asserted that Holton is hur
rying Chairman Ayer to call the Popu
list Executive Committee together. This
eagerness manifested by Holton is not
so much a desire to have the Populist
State ticket filled out as it is for a final
decuion on the question ol elccoral
fusion with Democrats. The . great
Mark Hanna has told Prttchard, Holton
and the other Republicans in this State
no campaign fund would be doled out
in this State until the Populists finally
passed on -the question of electoral fu
sion. Of course the Republicans are very
much concerned about the policy that
wili be pursued by the Populists and
they are still more anxious to have an
immediate decision, jn order to make
demands on Mark ($) Hanna.
Chairman Manly is also anxious to
have the Populist committee meet and
pass upon the question. Populists as
sert that Watson is growing in strength
in North Carolina, and that many Dem
ocrats will f upport their National ticket
from a sense ol justice, but this is not
true. They say that Manly's activity in
behalf of an early meeting of tbe Pop
ulists committee is to checkmate this
growth.

SAYS DOCKERY IS A POP,
The Wadesboro Messenger says of the
Hon. Optimus Hallelujah Dockery
"Since tbe r'opuiists nominated
Oliver H. Dockerv for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, there has been a great deal of
speculation as to bis political attitude.
The Republicans, who bave also placed
him on their ticket for the same posi
tion, say that he will support McKinley
for President, while the Populists just
as confidently assert that he will use his
influence in behalf of Bryan and Wat
son. The truth of the matter is, the
Old War Horse has gone over horse,
foot, and dragoons to the .Pops. There
can be no doubt about this, if his word
is to be relied upon In the least, for he
has practically admitted as much to a
number of citizens of Wadesboro.
Slaughtering the Dogs.
Raleigh News and Observer: "Whole
tribes of barkers have bit the dust in the
last few days because their owners did
not pay tribute to the powers that be.
The dogs whose owners after many
warnings have failed to pay the dog tax
the city requires have been cut off in the
midst ot lite, ihe policeman s pistol
has been busy, and the blue-coats have
shot seventy-five dogs since the time for
paying the tax expired.

RUSSELL AND PRITCHARD.
Both Have Abandoned Free Silver and Ate
Now McKinley Gold Bnga.
The Raleigh News and Observer says
the following is from a stenographic re
port of Judge Russell's speech at Hen
dersonville, which was revised by Rus
sell :
'I don't want free silver.
'You farmers and workinemen of
these mcuatains, just ask them (the free
silver advocates) to explain when they
get their free silver, and open' their
mints to tbe free silver of Nevada and
Colorado ask them bow vou are to cret
any of it. Nobody is to get it but the
man who has the bullion.
"Free silver is iusta little dodce that
the Democratic party has put up to save
itseii irom annihilation.
"I will tell you. mv friends, this silver
business, while it may be a good enough
thing per se, as we say, it is not any
great fundamental paramount question.'
It has not been long, as the Star
knows, since the Hon. Demosthenes Ly-
curgus Kussell did "mm free silver,"
and be said so publicly. But he has
now fixed' his status as a full-fledged
gold-bug. of the McKinley brand, and
24 carats fine.
And Jeter C Pritcbard. Where does
he stand ? After voting in the Senate
for silver, after coming home and pro
claiming from the house-tops that he
was a champion of free silver, he spoke
as follows at Newbern last Tuesday
night :
'I went into the Republican National
convention, and after carefully study
ing the situation I became convinced
that free silver will not give the country
prosperity.
