I . !: i WILMINGTON, N. C Morning, Sept. 8, 1896 Tuesday DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS Hod. Clk Howell Talki of the Situation in Georgia and Nottli Caroltns. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, September 7. Hon. Clark Howell, of Atlanta, arrived in townto-dav and proceeded to Demo cratic headquartets at an mj where he permanently took the place ot Congressman Richardson, as the repre sentative here of the Democratic Na tional Committee. - y Mr.sHowell received a number ot callers during the day and examined a large pile of mail. He said the situation in Georgia was such as to indicate a tre mendous majority for Bryan In tne State election to be held in October the Democrats would wui by greatly in creased majority. He believed that taere was no serious trouble in any Southern State and that the most doubt ful were North Carolina and Kentucky. As to Kentucky, the Democratic leMeis ia that State were confident of victory and were unanimous in the opinion that the nomination oi rainier iui President by the Indianapolis gold convention would help rather than in jure Bryan's chances, on account of pal mer's record as military Governor after the war. As to North Carolina, a fu sion of the silver vote of the Jjtate would insure it for Mr. Bryan by 50,000 majority. The only obstacle in the way was the failure of the Democrats and Populists to come to terms, but he be licved that a satisfactory settlement would yet be reached. With three elec oral tickets in the field he believed Mr. Bryan would carry the State by a de cided majority. ... Mr. Howell counts confidently upon a solid bouth, and saws that there is no reason to fear that Bryan will not carry all of the far Wcs:ern States, in every one of which fusion had already been arranged. As to fusion in the Southern States, but little had been done as yet, though he thought that in time the Democrats and Populists would get together in most of them on a common electoral t-.cket. The second Quadrennial Convention - of the National Association of Demo cratic Clubs, to meet at St. Louis, has been postponed from Wednesday, Sep tember 8(kh. to Saturday. October 3d. to assure the presence of Mr. Bryan, who has notified President Black that he would attend tUe convention if the date could be changed. It is asserted as probable that Mr. Siwall.. the Demo cratic candidate for Vice-President, will be there, but doubts are expressed on the subject. r ARKAN5 "ELECTION. A XjVgs Tote Pjlid Democrats Claim the Eleotlon of Their Candidate for Oov , ,, eroor by 45,000 Plurality. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Littlk Rock, September 7. The election held in this State to-dav was for all State, judicial and county officers, in cluding two thirds of the Legislature, which will elect a successor to Senator Jones, chairman of the National Demo cratic Committee. "He has no opposi tion within his party, and his election is an assured fact.1 As far as heard from the election passed off q lietly and an unusually large vote was pulled. Tne question of licens ing saloons was the principal issue in the majority of counties. Here in Little Rock it was the issue of the day. The Prohibitionists, or anti-license advocates, were defeated by a large majority. Dem ocrats and Republicans bad full tickets in the field, while the Populists and Pro hibitionists nominated candidates for Governor only. 1 Republican returns in this city up to 9 o'clock indicate that the vote will ex ceed 160.000, an increase of 24.000 over 1894. , At Democratic headquarters the elec tion of Col. Dan W. Jones,, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, is claimed by 45 000 plurality. Chairman Cooper, of the Republican Committee, disputes the claim, basing bis estimates upon the reports received this evening. He says a large percentage of the increased vote was polled by the negroes. Of the 203. 000 poll tax receipts in this State 45.000 are held by negroes, 15,000 more than was paid by the negroes two years ago Littlk Rock, Ark , September 7. Official returns received lrom the fol lowing counties late to-night rive Daniel W. Jones majorities as follows: Miller (Texarkana) 500; Phillips (Helena) 1,100; Woodruff, 1,900, out of a total vote of 2.500; Franklin, 800; Lafayette, 700; Sharp, 1,700. If these majorities are kept up throughout the State, Jones and the entire .Democratic ticket will re ceive 60,000 majority. The Republicans had no ticket in the field, the opposi tion being an independent ticket, com posed of men a majority of whom ate but little known. The Populists scratched Files, their candidate for Governor, and voted almost solidly for Jones, as did many of the sound money Democrats who voted at all. The Prohibition vote throughout the State shows a marked decrease. Several clashes occurred in tbe doubtful counties between Demo crats and Populists; notably was this the case at Clifton, VanBuren county, the place where Congressman Dirjsmore was assaulted last week. Clinton is "twenty-five miles from the nearest telegraph station and it is im possible to learn full particulars, but it is thought here that no serious results came of the reported riot.

Form of Government In TJae- fulneea and Its Aboiea. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. rmrafio Seotember 7. William J. n. returned to 'Chicago from Mil this morning to address the big T.hor meeting at Sharpshooters' Park fv,ia afternoon. In company with ex rcnmrnor Peck he left Milwaukee at 7.15 o'clock on a fast train over the North. ".... oh reached Cnicaeo at 9 30. tu. was the same as that over uiK h made the iouruey to Milwau kee Saturday ana there were no stop' About a hundred Daces on tne way. oH rheered Mr. Hrvan at rctog"f " ; , - .r... .u KTtrthtnMtern station here, me candidate and ex-Gov.

WnrnMhoers' Union was gatfr H in front of the annex, and a large nf anectators auemented its num h., tn ench an extent that Michigan avenue was completely filled with peo- P' Mr. Brvan was cheered as he entered the hotel, but the crowd had not seen -,nh nf him. "Brvan. Bryan, was the echo, and after a few minutes the candidate appeared on the balcony. When the crowd was through cheering Mr. Bryan bowed ana tnen quicmy rc m Democratic headquarters. The horseshoers had gathered in front of the Auditorium Annex with a purpose. Al onnn as Mr. Brvan arrived they sent a H-watinn to him with a silver horse se an evidence of support and an nmpn-ni oood luck. The celebration of Labor Day by Chi cago's workingmen centered mainly in the meetincr addressed by William . Bryan at Sharpshooters' Park, a wooded pleasure ground situated at an inconve nient distance from the city. The street roil maw service was not of the best, and mini nennle were unable to reach the nark. Everv car that ran to the park a narked from noon until after 3 oVlnr.k. and those who came by that means Buffered much discomfort. The dav was all that could be desired in rtnint (i f weather, a little too warm for the close contact of hum in beings, but nracticallv oerfect for an outdoor as- ae.mhlv. Mr. Bryan spoke from 2 per manent platform, with a shell-shaped canopy, and long before the meeting be gan this was crowded by prominent. members of labor unions, a number ot them accompanied by their families. The crowd began to gather about noon ana those who came early sought positions to the front of tbe stand. Many men and boys climbed trees overlooking the olatform. and were able to see and hear the better for their exalted positions Occasionally the limb of a tree broke and added to the fun and excitement of the occasion. Other men climbed to tbe roof of the stand, and lying fiat on their stomachs peered over the edge at those below like so many human squir- rels. The crowd was not 33 great as had been expected by the promoters of the event. Just before Mr. Bryan entered the park about 6,000 peo ple were clustered around the central point of interest, but after the appearance of the nominee three or four thousand men gathered around the grounds and wanted to catch a glimpse of the Democratic nominee and stood on- the outskirts of the au dience endeavoring to hear what he said. The charge of twenty-five cents for admission probably served to de crease the attendance. This has always been the custom at Labor Djy celebra tions in Sharpshooters' Park, but Mr. Bryan probably did not know of it or be might have declined to tpiak unless with the assurance that no entrance fee would be charged. ; He made free ad mission a condition of his appearance at the Driving Park, near Knowlesville, week before last, and has always insisted that no one shall be excluded through lack of means from attending the meet ings addressed by him. ' The celebration at tbe park was the annual pic-nic pf the Building Trades Council, a representative organization of men employed in building trades, The crowd which gathered was essentially one of workingmen and their families. They enjoyed the address of the nominee with unconstrained freedom and made frequent comments of an amusing character that several times had tbe effect of making Mr. Bryan break into a laugh which spoiled a rounded period. The crowd was excitingly dis orderly in a good-natured way. Two or three times the jam near the stand be came so great that several women fainted and were trod on before being rescued and revived. Mr. Bryan once appealed to the people to stop crushing and stopped another time to hand a glass of water to a fainting woman. Mr. Bryan was received with long continued applause, and throughout his address of an hour's duration be was treated with the utmost good natured familiarity. Tbe crowd called him "Wil lie." "Billy," Old Boy" and "Honorable Bill," and told him to "hit 'em again and to "give 'em another" whenever he caught tbe fancy of his audience. It was a few minutes after 8 o'clock when Mr. Bryan's carriage reached the park, followed by several others, carry ing labor leaders and their wives. Mr. Bryan '8 carriage was followed from the roadway through the grounds to the platform by a cheering, running crowd of men and boys. There were no police officers te restrain them, and they al most fell on Mr. Bryan in their eager ness to grasp his hand and say some thing complimentary. By dint of mus cular work Mr. Bryan was able to reach the platform, and smiled his thanks when the thousands cheered him lustily. President Carroll, who acted as chair man, quickly saw the crowd was in no mood to hear a speech from him and merely presented Mr. Bryan. At the conclusion of Mr. Bryan's speech, which was the only one made, there was a repetition of the unrestrained crush on a larger scale in the rear of the platform, where the speaker tried to get away in his carriage.' Hundreds pushed in front of him and grasped his hand, whether he liked it or not, and there was a delay of fifteen minutes before a passage way could be cleared. Hun dreds rushed on the platform in their mad eagerness to get near the nominee and there was imminent danger of a collapse. Policemen finally got around and into Mr. Bryan's carriage and drove off the people who clung to tbe vehicle until the road was reached. The following is a full synopsis of Mr. Bryan's speech: Ladies and Gentlemen I desire to thank tbe Bailding and Trades Council for the opportunity which they have ex tended me cf speaking to the people as sembled on Labor Day. Labor Day has become a fixed event among our insti tutions, and it is well that it is so, be cause on this day all over this nation those who are engaged in the produc tion of wealth meet in order that they may commune with each other, discuss mose questions in wmcn tbey are espe cially interested, and emphasize before the world that there is nothing dishon orable in the fact that one earns his bread by the sweat of his face. I am glad to stand on this day in the presence of those whom this nation is so largely indebted for all that it has had, for all that it has now, and for all that it can hope tohave. I am not indulging in idle flatten when I say to you that no part of the people of the world are so important to the welfare of mankind as those whose labor and brains convert the natural re sources ot the world into material weaitd. k . ... J- Ufa lisle said to these) pfcdplc la 1878, wfi&fi he described . tnem as m wrugRHnK masses wnp prouutcu iu. uu who paid the jaxes of the contftrf i He did not praise mem iuu uij. n struggling masses not ohly produce the wealth and pay tne iaxca iu umc ui ace, bat the straggling masses nave ever been and must ever be the nation s surest protection in time of peril. Tbe speaker tnen iook irom nis poci&ci the copy of an address by Abraham Lin'-, coin delivered in Congress, from which be quoted certain paragrapns, one oi which called attention to an effort made to place capital on an equal with if not above labor in tne structure oi rvciu ment, and following with the assertion that capital is only the fruit ot labor and could have never exisiea wuoaai h. "Libor," said ;Lincoln, is "superior to capital and deserves much higher con sideration. Mr. Bryan followed with a quotation from Solomon and continued: Solomon favored neither poverty . . T T . ' I J te A nor riches, tie regaraea mai tuam tion best which is not at either ex treme. but lies between the-extremes. Neither great riches nor abject poverty furnish us the soil in whicn grows the best civilization. Those who are pressea by poverty lose the ambition, the in spiration, the lofty purpose that are necessary to lead one on to tae grcaicoi achievements, and those who possess too greatwealtn lose tne, necessity ior labor that labor which is absolutely e.ontial to the development of that mhirh is best in human nature, aoio mnn was rieht. therefore, when, he nraised this intermediate condition, for the great middle classes are the bul wark of society., and from the middle classes have come almost all the good that has come to bless the human race. Lt me call vour attention to the fact that when the meek and lowly Nazarene came amone men and preached peace on earth and good-will towards men, he was not welcomed by those wno are aescnoea asoeoDle who devour widows' houses and under pretences made long prayers, hut when he cave that great command "love thy neighbor as thysjlf." who listened to him? The Scriptures tell us that the common people who listened to his 'command ments welcamed him. It is the greatest compliment ever paid to the Master. The Scriptures say the mm mnn neonle heard him gladly-and the common people are the only people who have heard eladly any man who preached humanity and equal rights. fProloneed applausi. I don't mean to say that there are not exceotions to the general rule. There have always been found among the richer classes those who are filled with the spirit of philanthropy. There have always been tound among mem taose wno were willinsr to spend their lives in the uoliftinz of their fellows, but I am speaking of the rule that reforms do not ccme which are not supported by those who consider themselves luted above the common people. Nor do I mean that ycy have neyer founq among tbe common people tbose who would betray their fellows. Ycu have found everywhere, in every stage of society, tbe character of Judas. In any class are to be found those ready to betray their brother. Yet still, in spite of this, the common people have been - the great and telline force that has lifted civilizi tion to a higher ground. There are three forms of government best known among men. There is the monarchy, where the king rules by right divine; there is tbe aristocracy, where a few control, and there is the democracy. whieh means the rule of tbe people them selves. Why is it that tbe Btrength of the democracy I do not use the term in a oartv sense, but in the broader sense why is it that the strength of deraoc rac has always been found among the common people ? It is simple enough Jf a roan has high position or great wealth be may be able to stand and keep on tbe good side ot the king; if he has great influence, he may be one of tbe ruling classes in the aristocracy, but you are not willing to leave any form of government to your children except a democracy in which each child is pio tected in the enjoyment of life and tbe pursuit of-happiness. The great com mon people believe in a democratic form of government because it is only in the democratic form of government that they are able to protect their rights and defend their interests; as tar as Uov ernment can defend a man's interest Let me dwell for a moment upon the object of government in this land. Oar Government derives its powers from the consent of tbe governed. What kind of eovernment will people consent to ? Only that kind of government that pro tects all and wbich knows no favoritism. A government in which every citizen stands on the same plane without re gard to position in society and without regard to wealth. Cheers A govern ment which knows equal rights to all and confers special privileges on none that is the kind of government that ap peals to the affections of the common people. There are two things to be considered in government. Tbe first Is that in the enactment of legislation you should be careful to give no advantage to one per son over another person, if that advan tage can be prevented. It is thejduty of tbe Government to protect all, if pos- sible,without injustice to any one. Again, the government mutt restrain men from injuring one another. That is ope of the important duties of government to prevent men from injuring one an other, and tbe government that fails to restrain the strongest from injuring the weakest is a government which fails to do its whole duty. I was passing through Iowa some months ago and I got an idea from some hogs, Laugh ter An idea is the most important thing that a person can get into his head, and we gather our ideas from every source. Riding along in the cars I noticed a number of bogs rooting in a field and tearing up the ground. Tbe mat thought that came to me was that they were destroying a good deal of property, and. that carried me back to the time when I lived on the farm, and I remembered that we had rings in the noses of our hogs. And why ? Not to keep the hogs from get ting tat, lor we were more interested in their getting fatter than they - were, Laughter. The sooner they got fat, the sooner we killed them and the longer they were in getting fat the longer they lived. But why were rings put in the noses of those hogs ? So that while they were getting fat they would not destroy more property than they were wortb. And as I thought of that, this came to me that one of the duties of the government one of the important duties of the government is to put rings in the noses of the hogs. Now, my friends, don't consider this a reflection on your neighbor. Laugh ter and 'cries, "Hanna is already fat." It is possible under our form of govern ment to have justice and to govern a the people deserve. Oars is the best form of government because it is possi ble for the people to make it, built on the best intelligence, the highest virtue and the patriotism of all the people. But let me warn you against confuting govern ment with the abuses of government. Andrew Jackson said that there were no necessary evils In government; that evil existed only in its abuses. He was right, my friends. Cheers .There are no necessary evils in government, and no man wbo understands the advan tage of government is going to raise his voice against it. It is the abuses of government sgainst which we have a right to explain. There are they who would denounce one criticising such abuses and call him a disturber. A disturber is one who breeds discontent. I want to sav to you that discontent lies at the foundation of all progress. So long as vou are satisfied you never go forward. It is only when you are dissatisfied with your conditions that you try to improve them. There is this difference between our torn 61 gaVernffleTn and f he fitdnircbtat form If you are discontented under $ monEtfchy you can petition, for relief but your petition may t8 disregarded Discontent under a monarchy may efid in despair, or it may end In revolution. Discontent under our form bl govern ment ends in reformation through the peacef al means of the ballot. I am not going to violate the oro- prieties of this occasion by entering into the discussion of partisan Questions. But I desire to call your attention to certain broad questions which cannot be confined by party lines. The ballot i the means by which the people of this country must right every wrong. And if the people have not the independence, if thev have not the intelligence- to right their wrongs at the ballot box, they have not the courage j to secure their rights in any other way. Cheers. Bat my friends, coaditions arise in this country wbich make it impossible to use the ballots which they have. Through certain things, so strong, so powerful, men were afraid to exercise freely and upon their own con science the political rights given them under our institutions. What did they do ? I honor the laboring men of this country and organized labor standing at. the head ot tbe laboring men, because thev secured fpr tbe people of this coun try an Auitralian ballot. Great ; ap plause. That ballot did not come down to you from above. That ballet is a re sult of your own demand. It is the re sult of your own influence. Tbe labor ing man to-day enjoys the advantage of the Australian biliot. because the labor ing man of this country compelled the adoption of the Australian ballot. Cheers. . w Now, my friends, among all the azen- cies which for the past few years have been at work improving the condition and protecting the rights of this country I believe that labor organization stands first. It has brought the laboring men together where they could compare their views, where tbey could combine their influences as an organization, and we have laboring organizations to thank for many blessings they have " se cured for you. Prolonged applause'. Now, my friends, some have criticised labor organizations. Cries of Hanna, Hanna. There are some who believe that banks should ioin an association: that railways should join an association; that all wealthy corporations should join an association, but not the laboring men. Yet the laboring mens associa tions have been the means by which he has protected himself in his warfare against these other associations. The laboring organization has done as much good for society as any of the other organization? have done or will do, Applause wow, my menas, wncn you come to use the ballot, I want you to remember that that ballot was not given to you by any man who employs you. Loud- cheering, and cries: "We 11 give it you, though, that's no dream " Tnat ballot was given to you by laws ; you had it before being employed. t was yours after your employment ceases. You do not tell him that if he does not vote ac cording to vour opinion you will quit working for him. Cheers and laughter. But you have as much right to tell him that as he has to tell you that you will have to quit work for him if you do not vote a be wants you to. When I say this I am not afraid of offending anybody, because if there is an employer in this country who be lieves that he has a right by paying wages to control the vote to whom- the wages go, he is a man wbo cannot be offended, I have known men who thought that because tbey loaned a man money that, therefore, as long as they held his note that he must vote as they wanted him or risk foreclosure. I am not afraid of offending an? man who has that opinion, because a man who will use a loan to intimidate a cit.zen has not learned the genius of the institutions under which we live. I cannot impress upon you any more important truth than this, that your ballot is your own, to do with it what you please, and that there is no body that must be satisfied with your vote except your judgment and your conscience. Cries: "You II be satisfied with it, Bryan". At this point the limb of a tree npon which a listener was sitting fell with its human burden to the ground. Mr. Bryan said; Well, at least the man who fell did not make the mistake that some men are making; he did not saw off the limb be sat on like some men who are trying to destroy the products cf labor. Great applause. It is said vigilar ce is the price cf lib erty. Yes, not only of the nation but cf the individual. Vigilance is the price ot individual uperty. A. citizen wbo is indifferent is a citizen who is apt to be misruled. The citizen who is watchful has the best chance of living under good laws and wise and beneficent institutions. Let me leave with you this one parting woid. Let me urge you whatever may be vour views on political question!, whatever may be your ideas as to policy, proposed front time to time by various parties, make it your highest ambition to prove yourself worthy of that greatest of all names an American citizen.

The Hon. Thor. . Watson, of Georgia. Poo- nlist candidate for Vice President, to day addressed about five thousand persons the State fair grounds. The occasion was a Labor Day celebration,1 but Mr Watson seemed to have forgotten this, as he said nothing concerning labor but demoted bis speech to Populistic doc trines almost exclusively. Mr. Watson was especially severe in his denunciation of the Democratic oartv but said nrarn. cally nothing against the Republicans. ne lampooner tbe Hon. Arthur Sewall, Democratic nominee for Vice President characterizing him as the incarnation of -II . m au mat is venai in pontics and as the iiuuiiucui ncjuuiitaa representative OI monopolies and the monev nivr H declared that Sewall went to tbe Cb'cjgo convention not only as a national baake. but as a gold bug at heart, and was at that time oersonallv standard Democrat for the Governor ship ot Maine. Mr. Watson declared that be was in this fight to a finish, and that he will not retire from tbe race for Vice President in Mr. Se waif's favor. That if Bcyan is defeated, Sewall will be to blame and that if Bryan wins, it must be because Watson wins also. "So long as Tom Watson lives the Poru:t part? shall not die," was one of Mr. Watson's emphatic declarations. Tbe speaker reviewed the cAtira nf political events since tbe Democracy came into national power and could dis cover nothing good in the record. He lashed the raiiroads, for attempting to coerce employes tnto foming i "sound money" clubs. He spoke in compli mentary terms of Mr. Brvan. savino that no railroad or other monopoly or cor poration had ever controlled or can control him, but that the same could be said of Tom Watson. Before the meeting a narada nl lahnr organizations was had through tbe city. During Mr. Watson's speaking the crowd continued attentive. But theie was only moderate applause.: Many leading ropulist politicians occupied places on the platform and, of course, were the most demonstrative in rh cheering and other evidences of satis- iaction. Mr. Watson spoke for more than an hour. At t-e conclusion of his addresi. President Gsorge N. Beach, of the State labcr organizations, announced the nm. gramme for the after neon, and the meeting adjiumed until 8 p ra. Mr. Watson is accompanied by State Com mitteeman ueeo, tl Brunswick, Gi., member of the Populist National Com mittee. Mr. Reed is down for a soeech this afternoon.

It is the pDwer of rapid repnr of the tissues that makes Paine's celerv com pound the great saver of life that it is. It brings just the needed nutriment to the distracted nerve tissues all over the body and increases the volume cf healthy blood so that a breaking down of some vital part is averted. While taking Paine's celery compound there is a general building up of the deep lying tissues all over the body, and a throw ing off of unsound elements that clog and interfere with its healthy activity.
