C Piatt, of New York, rises to remark that "the people are voting for or against a gold stan dard" That's the-size of it and the peppfe so understand it. The Chicago Tribune wants the town authorities to boil the water the people drink. It thinks if they have to swallow snakes, eels, fish, &c, they ought to have them cooked. The Republicans of Chicago are going to raise flags in that town as they have done in New York.: This s perhapsto keep their flagging spirits up.

Mayor" Strong, of New York, showed bis partisanship and his churlishness when he refused per mission to erect a stand near Tam many Hall for Mr. Bryan to speak from. Heretofore public speakers have had no trouble in securing per mission to erect such stands, and Mayor Strong is coming in for some harsh criticism, not only by Demo crats, but by Republicans, for draw ing the line on Bryan. The Washington Star represents the Treasury officials as entertaining the belief that "the troubles are over for a season." For a season. As long as the banks agree to keep up the reserve. But what, then, if McKinley should be elected, ? The Washington Correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says the Democratic committee is going to put a lot of speakers in the States between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and make the campaign hot there. That's business. A Tennessee man was determined that McKinley should take the stump and sent himta hickory one from his State. Mr. Mc. has! had it planted in his front yard and uses it to ad dress the bands of "pilgrims" that Mark Hanna sends along. A gold organ remarks that "the indications are that the importations of gold will be kept tip for some time." Probably until after the elec tion, when it will begin to go the other way. some of the republican papers say that Bryan Is "wearing himself out." If so, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he is also wearing them out. The city of Tampa, Fla., is one of the growing cities, in 1U it baa a population of 720. Now it has, in cluding thesuburbs, a population of 18,449. SEW ADVERTISEMENTS. D. L. Gore For rent. Schools and colleges. W. B. Cooper Candy. W. L. MAIN Big show. J W Murchison Bang! D.

Kenan, who were appointed by Gov. Carr to sel-ct a design and make the necessary arrangements preparatory to the presentation, deserve great credit for the taste displayed in the selection of this handsome testi monial. The punch bowl is of solid silver. twenty-four inches in diameter and about eighteen inches high. The out side is oxydized, while the interior is gold-lined and polished. One side bears a splendidly executed engraving of the cruiser Raleigh; on the reverse is the in scription, "To the U. S. Cruiser Raleigh from the Citizens of North Carolina, 1896."

The Criminal Court adjourned yester day for the term, after disposing of the following cases : State vs. Emanuel Silvey, assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Verdict, not guilty. In the case of John Forbes, colored. charged with an assault with an Intent to commit rape, Mr. Ji.J. Marshall, Forbes' attorney, stated to the Court that he had a physician to examine Forbes, as ordered by the court, to see if Forbes was non compos mentis, and that the physician had said that that he thought Forbes' mind was impaired, but was doubtful if it was impaired to the ex tent specified by law. - Forbes was sen tenced to ten years Imprisonment in the State penitentiary. State vs. John Turner, selling liquor on Sunday. Mistrial. At 12.80 o'clock the grand jury came into court, banded in their report as follows, and were discharged : ' September Special Term Criminal Circuit Court, Wilmington, N.C, Sep. 28, 1896 To the Hon.O P.Meares, Juae: The grand jury for this term hand you this their report. We have exam ined into and passed upon eighty-lour bills. We bare found seventy-one true bills and twelve not true bills, and made one presentation. We have visited the county home and work house and fiad everything in very good order, clean and nicely kept, and no complaints from any of the inmates. We wonld recommend that Andrew Peterson, one cf the inmates, be sent to the city hospital, where he can have proper medical attention. We would a'so recommend that Mrs. Annie Mar tin, one Of the inmates, be examined by a board as to her lunacy, as we think that she should be in the asylum, where she could receive proper treatment. We have also visited the county nil and find it in very good order, clean and nicely kept and no complaints from any one. We would recommend that the female department in the jail should have proper ventilation as we think it Is not, properly ventilated. It has been bruught to our attention that one 'Dink Holmes, a pr soner at the work bouse. onvicted at the last term of court and sentenced for 12 months, for assault on I P. Flynn. and having captured one Jesse Smith, who confessed tbnt he was the party and not Dink Holmes who made the assault, we would recommend that the court investigate this matter. and if such is the case to use your influ ence and official capacity as Julge to have him pardoned. Very respectfully, John T. Keen, Foreman. In the case of Wm. Pearsall charged with highway robbery, as material wit nesses for the defence and the State were absent, the trial was postponed nntil the October term of court. Jno. D, Bella my, Esq., appeared for the defendant, and Solicitor Richardson and Mr. Her bert McQammy far the State. After disposing of the cost cases on the docket, the Court adjourned for the term. THE WALTER ".tiN CIRCUS. There is a surprising unanimity in the profuse praise accorded by the great newspapers to the Walter L. Main Big Shows, which are billed to appear here on October lath and which we are as sured will far outstrip anything in the naure ot an arenic enterprise ever given our people. The big shows, for there are a number of them under one manage ment, complete a surprisingly compre hensive whole, will be seen here under greater advantage than anywhere else this season, as it was recently much added to, Mr, Main having purchased in Colorado one of the other shows which was billed to appear in this neighborhood, and added to his al ready mammoth attractions which always consisted of a 8-nng circus, a great wild west, a real Roman hippo drome, a wild beast show and a mon ster menagerie and marine exhibit. Contrary to his usual mode of proced ure, Capt. Pierre Perler, to meet a pub lie demand, will do his world's highest dive free for all and to be seen by all on the show grounds outside the tent im mediately after the parade gets to the show grounds after traversing the line of march. Th's free exhibition is entirely distinct from the magnificent afternoon and night performances. The advertising car will arrive in the city to-day. Balaam Fuller, Wilming ton's famous colored bill poster, has fin ished building the bill boards and the town will be billed to-morrow. SUNDAY SERVICES.

K. a Glenn says be never saw the Democrats more enthusiastic, and he never spoke to larger crowds. Last night burglars entered a store on Wilmington street, here, carrvine away a large amount of jewelry. The ropulists here are saving that the fusion with Democrats of so-called Pop- uirs in many counties is not genuine. They claim that the regular Populist or ganization has not fused with Demo crats but in one or two counties. A leading Populist stated to-day: "We do not recognize any of these so called Pop ilist organizations that do not abide by the action of the bead of the organi zation. A poster has been issued in Rocking ham county calling "a non- Democratic ropulist Convention to meet at en early date. The c invention is called non-Democratic Populist" becaute the regular Populist convention which met some weeks ago endorsed Kitchin. the Democratic nominee for Congress. I tic non Democratic fopulists were defeated in their primaries and conven tion, but they propose to meet and en dorse Dolby, the Populist nominee for Congress. The name which this latter organization assumes would indicate that they are not Demoorats and not Populists, but Republicans.

Gore, while on duty en Front and Market streets, was sent for by the officer in charge of the revenue cutter Morrill, now in port, to get a disorderly sailor off the ship. Office Gore, accom panied by officer Holmes, went down to the Morrill and arrested a sailor named Cbas. E. Williams, who had been Ipat in irons. Williams was very drunk and had to be carried to the station (house in a hack.While he was being searched at the station, officer Gore found that Williams had been cut. The cut was on the left side, and was about two inches -long. Dr. Harriss was sent for and examined the wounded man, and as the sufferer was a sailor, ordered him carried to the Marine Hospital. At the hospital Wil liams' wound was sewed up and dressed. Williams said the gunner, E. J. Noon an. on board the Morrill, cut him. Officers Holmes and Gore again visited the cut ter and arrested Noonan and carried him to the guard house. Noonan says that Williams was so drunk and dis orderly on board the cutter that be had to place him la irons.

STATE HEADQUARTERS. . Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 24. '96. To the Independent Silver Voters of JMorth Carolina As Chairman of the National Silver Party I address myself to the voters of North Carolina, calling your attention to the great cause of financial reform, now the subject ot contention between all the political forces of this country. The gold standard is represented by the Republican Party. The tree coinage of silver upon a parity of 16 to 1, and entirely independent of what other na tions may say or think, has been and is the doctrine of our party. The Demo cratic party adopted it at Chicago. The People s party has' held this doctrine since its beginning. Both of these parties recognize the doctrine of the National Silver party as the chief subject of popular discussion, and, with us, are for silver as a money of final redemption and; have at last come to the rightful conclusion that this great cause shcuid be the first lubject of na tional legislation, and all other matters should be relegated to the rear nntil this great cause should be sustained. So the watchwords of the three par ties are "silver and freedom, which go hand in hand, recognizing as their standard bearer that magnificent Ameri-i canfWilliam jennings Bryan. the ,2lst of September the Dem oof tic and Populist parties, through their executive committees, met in Kal C igh and, having the demands of the Naigal Silver party before them in consiasricg-ne -fepresentl several parties upon the State" ticket, adjusted the same npon the lowing basis, tc-wit: Democratic party. hve electoral votes; ropulist party, five electoral votes; National Silver party, one electoral vote. This ticket is in every way worthy of your support and confidence. Every man on this ticket, if elected, will cast his vote for William J. Bryan for Presi dent of the United States, and for the respective candidates for Vice President of the three parties. According to the constitution of the United States no man votes directly for President, but men ot different political parties wish ing to vote for the same man find it is necessary that a ticket be arranged for this purpose. This bas been done. All obstacles have been removed and now I can say to the voters of North Carolina that every man who wishes to vote lor Wm. J. Bryan for President of the United Stales and for the cause of silver can confidently cast his vote for the electoral ticket just as arranged between the parties. 1 now call upon all the voters of North Carolina interested in the cause of silver to rally to the support of the great cham pion of silver. 1 call upon all independent men, inde pendent cf parties or party ties, who de sire financial reform, to rally to the sup port ot our electoral ticket in Novem ber. I call npon all the voters to work in season and out of season for the great object, and success will reward our vigi lance ana enott. Let every man beware of goldbug tempters who stand in our midst, say ing to the Democrats the Populists will not support the ticket, and to the Pop ulists the Democrats will not support the ticket. Men of this kind are ene mies of the silver canse are trying to fnonroneund7 haonorabie and are themselves the creatures of pelf wno wisn to oeieat tne people at the polls in November. I nrge npon you not to abate your zeal in the cause of free silver, prosperity and progress, and that every man constitute himself the trusted agent of the people on the day of election and until the polls are closea. Let us prove to the world that the right of franchise is too sacred to become the subject of bargain and sale, and al though plutocracy bas millions to be staked on the possible corruption of the people, let ns watch the polls and the emissaries of corruption and drive the tempters from the temple of freedom. Lit us prove to the world that a ballot in the bands of freemen is more precious than gold. Let ns prove to the world the Ameri can people are not for sale. a. r. keith.
