The New York Sun quotes the following from the speech delivered by Mr. Bryan at Chicago on Labor Day: "Now, my friends, when you come to use the ballot, I want you to remember that the ballot was not given to you by any man who employs you." This is what the Sun, which now shines for Hanna and McKinley, calls "Stirring Up Hatred." There isn't a Democratic paper in the United States, including the, which calls itself Democratic, which hasn't said substantially the same thing repeat edly, when the protected manufac turers were trying to control and in timidate their workmen. Secretary Diefendexfer, of the Sil ver Committee in Washington, is daily receiving reports of the organ ization of free silver clubs, through out the country. He finds on the information sent that 36 per cent, of the membership of the clubs is com posed of men who were up to this campaign Republicans, which is par ticularly true of Ohio. Out of respect for the other fellow, perhaps, it was that the Mobile Register thus refers to "our Oscar": Oar Oscar has received his thirty pieces of silver in the shape of the Re publican nomination for Congress in the Eighth district. He may find the bar gain as unsatisfactory to h,im as the original was to his prototype. Mr. Allen Six, of Southwest Mis souri, is accused of having nine liv ing wives. At last accounts his sixth Mrs. Six was in hot pursuit of him. She got him too, and now he is in jail, meditating.on what might have happened him if the other eight had pounced on him. Wm. J. Bryan didn't fail to make some remarks on Trusts in his letter of acceptance of the Democratic nomination, and Wm. McKinley didn't fail to be very mum on the Trusts in his acceptance of the Re publican nomination. i STEW ADVEBTIS-gMEXTS. D O'Connor For rent. Opera HousE-The Other Man's Wife. Josh T.

At the First Presbyterian church there will be service to-morrow at 11 o'clock a. m., conducted by the pastor. Rev. P. H. Hoge, D. D. There will be no service at night. The Star has a notion that there will be no electoral fusion of Democrats and Populists in this State, and that there will be no Populist elec toral ticket in the field. r What a spectacle the Indian apolis "yellow-hammers" will make of themselves in North Carolina. They say they are going to make an "active campaign." What a farce! The next scene in the kaleido scopic campaign in this State may be the withdrawal of Gathrie. Eery day the contest is drawing nearer and nearer to a fight between Democrats and Re publicans. T Mr. D. F. Hennessy, represent ing Joe Hart, the comedian, was in the city yesterday.

Wroten, a prosperous farmer who resides near Rocky Point, was a welcome visitor at the Star office yes terday, and gave the interesting state ment that everybody in his section was for free silver, and that the Populists were finding out how their leaders were trading away and bartering their votes and many were returning to the old Democratic party, knowing that only through that they can win over McKinley and Russellism. A gentleman from Iredell county and another from Wallace, Duplin county, both said the Populists were losing faith in the leaders and are rapidly returning to the Democratic party in their sec tions. Anxious to Eer Bryan. Many persons are anxious to hear and see the next President, Wm. J. Bryan, but .there seems to be a dif erence of opinion as to which point to meet his tram. Some are going to (joiasooro, some to Greensboro, and it is more than probable that the Wilmington Light In fantry will accept tbe invitation of the Hornet's Nest Riflemen and take in the speaking at Charlotte. Rates and schedules on all roads will be published in to-morrow's Star. A Very Important Hatter.

There were two nunarea oaies cotton sold on the street, thirty-three bead of horses sold for pot cash, ana to wind ud on. there came in seven thou sand pDunds of tobacco some of it from way over in South Carolina. Marion, Dillon and Mullins all bave warehouses too. So you see Lumberton is getting there, and now we are to have an arte sian well to cost one thousand dollars. Tne county pays one-third. The man is to get a good stream of water or no Pay. 'mmm' Cold Comfort. i Tbe Maxton Blade (col. Rep.) says : "Rev. Chas. Martin has probably found out by this time that be will not cut any figure in the Congressional race, we would advise him to retire from the field and try his.hand as an evangelist." iORNING WILMINGTON, N. C SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, RALEIGH NEWS BUDGET. POLITICAL GOSSIP AT . CAPITAL. THE STATE Tbe Populist Committee Waa Bantanker out for Vaslon with the BepubUoaoa They Have Stultifl 3d Tbemaelvea Bspnblioane in tbe West ern Fart ol the State Uniting -witb tbe Democrat. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 11. The Fourth North Carolina regiment, which has been in etcampment at Statesville for several days, began the march to-day from Statesville to Char lotte, where they will remain in camp four days. Four days will be required to make the march across the country. Gen. Cameron will join the regiment in Charlotte. Maj. E. W. Hayes, U. S. A , accompanies tbe troops on the march. Populist Chairman Ayer says that tbe Central Committee of the Populist party will meet here in the next ten days and pass upon the question of electoral fusion. He says there is -a- general willingness on the part of Populists to get together and elect Bryan. Chairman Ayer says fair warning was given Democrats and that they reiussd to heed anything the Populists said. The Populists assert that they tried their best to get the Democrats to fuse on Con gressmen. Claude Dockery will not follow his father's footsteps. He will support Mc Kinley and Hobart. Tbe Populists here claimed that silver was the test in this State. Chairman Holton said laughingly last nigbt, ' I wonder if silver is the test now." The Populists have stultified them selves, and the Democrats have an op portunity that is rarely afforded a polit ical party. They should begin to do now what they have failed to do so far at tack the records of the Populist and Republican parties. The Democrats should be able to make a great fight in all nine Congressional districts. It is not believed that the rank and file of the Populist party can be dragged into the gold net by voting for tbe combina tion Congressional tickets. Senator Butler left the city early yes terday morning, having for once in bis life sustained a defeat among his Popu list associates in North Carolina. There is little doubt but tbat if Senator Butler could have bad his way yesterday the agreement which exists between the two parties would not have been reached. He realized that fusion was inconsistent and from the first he has opposed it, but be was overpowered yesterday and took to the bushes. The new committee wanted fusion and no power could stay them. The Repub licans knew this fact a week ago and that accounts lor tbe tact that they exercised no ncdae anxiety or alarm as to the re sult. And when one comes to look at the complexion of the Populist commit tee no surprise should be occasioned. The committeemen are direct from tbe rank and file ot tbe Populists, having been elected by districts. The action of the Populists in a majority of the dis tricts plainly indicates that they were rantankerous for fusion. A large McKinley banner was put across tbe street at Republican bead quarters to-day. Special Star Telegram, Chairman Manly is receiving very en couraging information. Advices from the West state tbat a Republican club of forty members in one town bas joined the Democratic party. OPERA HOUSE. Tbe Other Man's Wife," to be Given Monday Evening. Bert Coote, late of "The New Boy," and Nick Long, one of tbe Pacific coast's favorite comedians, coma to tbe Opera House Monday night in "Tbe Other Man's Wife," a tcreamlng comedy adapted from tbe French. In speaking of tbe performance, the Norfolk Vir ginian of recent date says : A purely fan provoking comedy skit of three acts, designed and constructed especially for the purpose of making people laugh, and incidentally of point ing out to the unwary the desperate chances a man takes when he marries his wife and a mother-in-law. was pre sented at the Academy of Music to an audience which was of complimentary proportions, and utterly enthusiastic. Coote and Long were delightful, as usual; and their support was in every fay worthy of them; in fact there isn't a aw in the cast. Preceding "The Other Man's Wife" was presented "A Soldier of France," in one act, tbe feature of which was Mr. Long's extremely clever impersonation and dramatic recitation, winning for him in the beginning tre mendous applause. The Confutionis's for Cong ets. Under the plan of confusion agreed on by the Reps, and Pops, tbe ticket for Congressmen will be as follows : First District, Harry Skinner, (Pop.)

Chairman of Bepoblieaa Committee Admits the Slate la Danger Canvass "by Bo h Committees In Two-thirda of the Countiea Show Frac tioally the Same Biault As the following is from James Creel man, one of the staff correspondents of the New York World, which is bitterly hostile to Bryan, it may be taken as. at least, fair to McKinley as the situation in Iowa warrants: Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 9. It may startle people in the East to know that as Iowa stands to-day the vote is about a tie. The extraordinary strength of the sil ver sentiment here has been suddenly revealed to tbe Republican State Com mittee by the preliminary canvass of the counties. Something like two-thirds of tbe dis tricts have been beard from, and they show a; Republican bolt of more than thirty thousand. Tbe Democratic defection Is in the neighborhood of ten thousand. With the thirtv-two thousand and odd Popu ulist votes joined to tbe Democratic strength, Bryan would have a majority. The Republicans do not attempt to conceal the facts. They frankly admit that the State is dangerously close. And tbe most remarkable thing about it is that Mr. Hanna bas been looking for a Republican majority cf fifty or seventy five thousand in Iowa. ' 80,000 silver republicans. Mr. Treynor, tbe Secretary of the Re publican State Committee, told me to day that the reports from all parts of the State already in his bands indicated that there were at least 80,000 Republicans classed as doubtful, but actually leaning towards free silver. Mr. Cummins, the Republican Na tional Committeeman of Iowa, con firmed this statement an hour later. Both gentlemen estimated the Democratic sound-money vote so far revealed at about ten thcusand. They admitted that on the surface of the reports the silver and gold vote was about a tie, but claimed that .there was much reason to believe tbat a large part of tbe disaffected Republicans could be won back to the party by earnest work. The reports of the Republican Com mittee tally almost exactly wite those of the Democratic State Committee. Mr. Currie, the Democratic State chairman, said that Mr, Treynor's fig ures agreed in a general way with those reported to the Democratic headquar ters. sudden change of sentiment. When I made the trip through Iowa a few weeks ai?o it seemed to me that most of tbe Republican free silver talk was froth, for many of the farmers who talked against the gold standard also ex pressed their admiration for McKinley. I found Democratic newspapers and Democratic politicians denouncing free silver. All has been changed in this brief space of time. THE BRYAN SOHEDULE.

One of the favorite diversions of tbe aristocratic "yellow-hammer" is to speak Oi tbe advocates of silver as "anar chists." Well, jjdged by this s andard, Major William McKinley was a Hanna chlst five years ago; for he spoke as fol lows, at Toledo, Ohio, February 12, 1891 : "During all of Grover Cleveland's years of the head of the Government he was dishonoring one of our precious metals, one of our own great products, degrading silver and ra strg tbe price of gold. He endeavored eyen before his in auguration to office to stop the coinage of silver dollats, and afterward, and to tbe end of bis Administration, persis tently used his power to tbat end. He was determined to contract tbe circula ting medium and to demonetize one of the coins of commerce, limit the volume of money among the people, make - J . 1 J TT money scarce ana, merciore, aear. ne would have increased tbe value of money and diminished the value of everything else." MURDERER ARRESTED. James Hayne., Charged Witb the Aaaasal Bation of Jolin Lee, at Whiteville. Special Star Correspondence. Whiteville, N,C, Sept. 11. James Haynes, colored, who stands charged with the murder of young John Lee, at this place, on the night of August 6th, was arrested early this morning about six miles north of here -by Jabel Reg ister and Fentress Toon and placed in . jail at this place. The Governor had offered a reward of $100 for his capture, and; the Board of County Commissioners, at their meet ing held last Monday, offered an addi tional reward of $100, to be paid upon his conviction. Haynes refuses to talk now, but says tbat he will tell all that he knows when he goes on the stand. He will be given a preliminary bearing at as early a date as tbe witnesses can be gotten together.
