And still Hon. Warner Miller, of New York, is outside" the breast works. . . As a statesman Hon. MarirHanna Bas not yet won fame, but as a fat frier he has achieved distinguished prominence. McKinley's talk about " sound money" is all sound. He would be for any kind of money if he thought he would be elected. i.. . " Candidate Black may or may not be elected Governor of New York, but he will not enjoy the privilege of using his frank as Congressman to send his soiled linen home to be . washed. : Mr. Piatt, of New York, has the satisfaction of still remaining, as he desired, a "plain boss." He would rather own the Governor and run him than sit in the chair and assume the responsibilities of the position. The Chinese in Richmond are not -Stuck on Li Hung Chang, whom some of them hate "allee samee hellee" because he is a Yokka. We do not know what a Yokka is, but we suppose it is a sort of mugwump Chinaman.- Mr. Carnegie has closed a con tract with Japan for 9,000 tons of steel rails. - What becomes of the bugaboo about the "pauper labor" of Europe when Mr.- Carnegie can un derbid European steel rail makers on such a contract as this ? Some of the gold organs admit that it shows "great versatility" on , the part of Mr. Bryan when he makes four speeches in one day and no two alike. It also shows that Mr. Bryan is a gentleman who carries a good deal of brains around wijh him. There were some things in Eng land that Mr. Li Hung Chang couldn't quite understand. One of them was why a lady should appear in a low-necked dress and bare arms, and wear gloves. According to his notion, naked hands are preferable to naked chests and arms. G ILLS TT 1 I For Al M VOL. LVill.-NO. 137. . Some of the anti-Bryan organs think it "beneath the dignity" of a Presidential candidate to make stump speeches to' the people. It isn't beneath the dignity, however, of the aforesaid candidates, if peo ple are brought to them and they then make stump speeches, as Mr MCKanley is doing. When Mr. Bryan goes among the people he simply shows that he is not afraid to face them lest some one might pop a question at him which it would be embarrassing to answer. The Republican organ which de Clares that "the Wilson act, the great law of four years of administration by the party of free trade and free silver, is entitled to the distinction of having closed more workshops and factories and thrown more people out of employment than any other piece legislation in theTiistory of the coun try," has achieved the distinction of inventing or appropriating one of the biggest lies coined since the pas sage of the Wilson bill. The failure of Hilton, Hughes & Co , of New York, is held up by the gold organs as another bugaboo "object lesson," but the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, gold paper, says the col lapse created no surprise, for that firm "was known to be weak for some time." The fact is the concern never had any head since A. T. Stewart died. Senator Palmer of Illinois, who is talked of for the gold men's candi date when they flock to Indianapo lis, says he prefers McKinley to Bryan. It was entirely unnecessary for Senator Palmer to make that an nouncement, as it has been quite evident all the time. Judge Russell tells his Western hearers that he doesn't want silver. He is devoting himself entirely to the. accumulation of fame now, and is playing the racket for all it is worth. NSW ADVEHTISEaUBHTS. Schools and colleges. . W B Cooper Matches. D. O'Connor For rent.

Here is the Star's solution of the Doekery enigma. He is to be a candi date against Pritcbard for the United States Senate. He has been promised the support of the Populists, He calcu-, lates that neither of the three parties will have a majority in the Legislature, and that the Democrats will support him, as he is for free silver, against Pitchard, who has become a gold bug. He believes that the Democrats and Populists com bined will have a majority on joint ballot in the Legislature. Now, watch Doekery and see if the scheme outlined by the Star is not fully developed before the Legislature meets, and, possibly, before the campaign closes. The position taken by Doekery at Wadesboro yesterday un covers the colored citizen in the wood pile beyond a doubt. Fall in Dry Good. A row of shelves in the dry goods store of Mr. W. M. Goodman, on Market street, suddenly collapsed and fell to the floor yesterday evening. The shelves were filled with goods and the damage was considerable.

Frltehatd and Bnnell Saye It Will bs a Late Day When He Aooept Nom ination From the B.- j ' pablloan Patty. Special Star Telegram Charlotte, August 29. Guthrie and Doekery spoke to a crowd estimated at 600 at Wadesboro to-day. Guthrie spoke first, making a free silver speech. The greatest interest, however, centred in Doekery, who cut his speech short be cause he had a chill. He said be was not a Populst but a free silver Republi can, acting with tbe Populists from principle. He was chairman of the con vention in Raleigh two years ago, whose committee on resolutions reported free silver resolutions on his recommenda tion. The convention ratified them and they bind the Republican party to-day. Russell swindled him ou of the gubernatorial nomination this year, but he was glad, because he would have resigned when McKinley was nomi nated on a gold platform. He ardently advocated free silver. He would not vote for the McKinley bill now, but was for reasonable protection. His cardinal principles were free silver, present county government and honest elections. He beat Russell twenty votes in tbe State Convention, but by the chairman was beaten out of the nomiration. Doekery boasted of his part in securing recent Populist Republican co opera tion. Russell, he said, hooted at it and now yells for it. Doekery stirred the negroes up to a high pitch by telling them tbat Russ;ll has recently been writing to Republicans North, telling them negroes should be disfranchised. He intimated that Russell was a Mc Kinley man for "pie." If Republicans can swallow him, all right. If Russell tries it, he will have more brains in his belly than his bead. Raleigh, August 29. Doekery de clared himself a free silver Republican, and came out flit footed for . William J. Bryan for President and Thos. E. Wat son for Vice President. He said it would be a late day when he accepted any nomination from the; Republican party, denounced Pritchard and young Mott, and referred to Russell as the bogus candidate. These men, he said, had swindled bim out of the nomina tion. He burned all the bridges behind him against gold and the Russell crowd. There were 500 in the crowd, 90 per cent, negroes. Republicans here assert that Doekery must be takea off their ticket since his speech at Wadesboro to day. Others say that the Executive Committee should meet at once, take dawn all Populist nominees, and put out a straight Republican ticket. Ed John son is one of these. He says Doekery cannot .carry any Republicans to the Populist party. LBy Southern Associated Presa.1 Raleigh. N. C, August 29. The Populist campaign in North Carolina opened to-day at Wadesboro. W. A. Guthrie, the nominee for Governor, and Oliver Doekery, the nominee for Lieutenant Governor, were tbe speakersJ Since August 15th there has been in tense interest in tbe State regarding tbe position Mr. Doekery would take. He has been a life-long Republican, and was Minister to Brazil under President Harrison. He was beaten for the Re publican nomination . for Governor in July. The Populists nominated him for Lieutenant Governor in order to divide the Republican vote, and two days later the Republicans endorsed him. They expected that to-day he would stand by his old party, but he declared against it and McKinley, took position for Bryan and, Watson, and defied the Republi cans, saying that although they might keep him on their ticket, it would be a late day before he accepted their nomi nation.

Graham, Fourth Vice President of the Bryan and Sewall Club, No. 1, of Kings county, writes : "The outlook grows brighter every day, and it is simply mar velous the number of Republicans who are coming into our organization." A. J. Kershner, a merchant of Mer cersburg, Pa., writes : "We have organ ized a bimetallic (silver league. Our or ganization is for the purpose of unifying the Democratic vote, and for securing as many Republican silyer men as we can. We have now on our list some cf the most prominent leaders of the Republi can party in this section, and we expect to get a great many more before the 4th of November." i William Ranch, Secretary of the Thirty-second Ward Bimetallic League, of Pittsburg, Pa., says : -One-third of our members are Republicans, or rather were Republicans." ' Charles Warner, secretary of the Free Silver Club of Dowagiac, Mich., writes: "We want literature. We have a club membership of over 400, one-tbird of: which are Republicans, and no litera ture. Send us plenty. We consider Michigan na' longer a dcubtful State but safe in tbe arms of Bryan." J. C. Clark, secretary of the Bryan and Sewall Stiver Legion of Bridgeport, Conn., in making application to have his club enrolled, sends very encourag ing reports. He says his club numbers 800 members, many Republican work ingmen, with promise that he will send in a list of 600 on bis rolls before Sep tember 1. CY. WATSON'S CANVASS. Makes a Great Bpeeoh at Durham Beardi the Tobaeoa Trutt ia lea Den. A correspondent of the News and Observer says of Cyclone Davis.: Mr. . Watson's reception at Durham was as great or greater than at any place he has visited during the cam paign. At 2 80 o'clock be was escorted to the court house to the strains of music and followed by a procession of two hundred or more. Tbe court house was packed with people, every inch of sitting or standing room was occupied, the biggest crowd, several said, that had attended a political speaking in Durham for years. There were business men and mechanic, manufacturers, workingmen and a large number of farmers, and they cheered to the echo every sentence of tbe gifted speaker. Mr. Watson was entirely him self. He had rested for to-day and in voice and vim was ready for tbe fray. He discussed the money question at length to eager and, in tbe main, friendly ears, and with telling effect tore the veil from trusts, combines and monopolies and showed them up in their ghoulish hideousness. He alluded to Mark Hanna and Whitney and Rockefeller, all trust magnates, conspiring to defeat that champion of the people, Wm. , Bryan. He scored tbe American Tobacco Com pady and declared that leaf dealers and tobacco raisers all over the State had declared to bim that tbe price of tbe tobacco this company bought went down from 20 to 40 per cent, within six months after its organization. He poured volley after volley into the Mark Hanna McKinley combine and declared that the Indianapolis convention was gotten up by gold bugs and monopoly Democrats to aid in tbe election of McKinley. Mr. Watson concluded by quoting the last public utterances of the immortal Vance, "Tbe money changers are pollut ing the temple, to your tents. Oh, Israel." F. B. Arendell. ACCUSED OF INTIMIDATION. Beoeiver Cawen'a Work Among Ballroad Employe Severely Criticised. The following special is from the Washington Post, a gold-standard but independent paper: Hagerstown, Md., August 27. The silver leaders of Hagerstown are up in arms against the, four railroad compa nies centering here for distributing among their employes and others what tbe silverites term "misleading, mall licious and threatening gold arguments." A freight car loaded with printed docu ments arrived over the Baltimore and Ohio to-day, and vast quantities of them were left with tbe employes, it is said, at the request of John K. Cowen, one of the receivers of the road. Silver lawyers have collected copies of the documents, one of which they claim will be sufficient to have tbe railway of ficials indicted under tbe new elections law of Maryland for intimidating voters. Tne silver men aver that Judge Mc Sherry's notable charge to the Frederick county grand jury recently is so clear as to the provisions of the new elections law that there is no doubt that tbe rail roads who send out intimidating litera ture will come under its provisions. Several siiver employes of the railroad have filed with the silver lawyers copies of tbe alleged threats, and an investiga tion is now going on. The railroad com panies claim they are simply distributing sound logic on the money question. The silver men also accuse Mr. Cowen of using bis Congressional frank to send out through the United States mails campaign literature that tends to serve his personal ends. A Gold Bng Dally. The gold men who were in the recent convention at Greensboro, says the Charlotte News, are conferring with two editors, one on the coast and the other in a county not far from Charlotte, looking to the starting of a daily paper to boom their cause. They have one or two weeklies, but what they want is a morning daily. It is proposed to publish it either in Charlotte or Raleigh, and it will be started, if the arrangements do not fall through, in September. A DEMOCRATIC OPINION. ' Columbia State.
