Oar opinion is that Mr. Dagaid
Crawford, of. St. Louis, who dis
charged a lot of his clerks because
they said they were going to vote for
Bryan, Is the most, if not the best
advertised retail man in that burg.
Bat when they made it so hot for
him, Mr. Crawford crawfished, and
told the men they conld go back to
work and do their own voting with
out his assistance.
Mr. Edward Lauderbacb, chairman
of the Republican committee of New
York, is getting warm onder the col
lar and declares that rf Bryan is
elected "we will not abide - by that
decision." Bat what is Mr. Lauder
bach going to do about it ? Oar im
pression is that in that event, there
will be lots ot people who will see
that he does abide by it.
- Hon. Tom Reed says he Is ' not
one of those who discuss Mexico,
China and such countries." Tom is
quite right, and shows that he has a
good deal more sense than, other
Republican stumpers.who would find
all their time sufficiently employed in
covering up or defending the reek
ing record of their party.
The presumption is that the ex-
Confederates who join Hanna's pil
grim parties to Canton will be for
given. It is said that Mr. McKinley
even enjoys the rebel yell doubt
less a good deal more than he did
some thirty odd years ago, when he
neara it under different circum
stances. " .
There are some amusing features
in this campaign. One of them is the
Republican leaders posing as moral
ists. In the early daysyjy the way,
they used to call the Republican
party "the God-and-morality" party.
Bat with its history it is amusing to
see them playing this role now. -
For the benefit of Gov. O'Ferrall,
of Virginia, who is now for gold,
with one eye on Senator Daniel's seat
in the Senate, the Richmond Dis
patch is reproducing some of bis sil
ver speeches in Congress, which
must be interesting; reading for him
and also for other people.
Senator Quay says McKinley is al
ready elected, and the Republicans
wbo have great confidence in Quay's
prognosticating powers, say that set
tles it. But they keep pegging away
all the same, which leads to the sus
picion that they are not quite sure
that that does settle it.
.Perhaps Mr. Hanna is sending
those delegations of pilgrims to Can
ton to show that the, workmen have
lots of money to spend.
Registration in Chicago has been

A wreck is reported at Littleton on
the Seaboard Air Line. The track is '
blocked, but as yet there are no particu
lars. Yesterday the circus train ran over a
negro tramp eight miles from here, am
putating the victim's leg and otherwise
mangling his body.
The Ringling Bros, and Sells Bros.'
circuses are scheduled to visit this State.
All three of the State chairmen will
receive returns from the various coun
ties on the night of the election.
Chairman Ayer went before several
members cf the Democratic Committee
last Monday and assured them that any
proposition looking to fusion could not
be accepted, as the time for the election
was too close at band. The committee
is cognizant of this fact when the mem
bers took the action they did. While
many Democrats think a grievous mis
take and blunder was committed, others
think not. .
At Democratic headquarters to-day
Secretary Thompson said: "The burden
ot refusal to unite the silver forces in
North Carolina has been placed on the
Populists. The Populists have claimed
all the whHe that it was the fanlt of the
Democrats that the silver forces were
not united. The fault is with the Popu
lists now. Oar speakers will use this."
It now develops that Chairman Manly
obtained the consent of all the candi
dates for State offices and Congressmen
to withdraw from the race where they
came in conflict with the Populist nom
inees, according to the Democratic pro
posal. l asked Major txrant now mucn money
Hanna had contributed to the North
Carolina campaign. He said that he
had not seen any of the funds, but he
would not state that none had been re
ceived. Hanna has not done what the
bovs expected. A Republican of stand
ing said to-day. "Hanna has acted nig
earaiv Butui nuriu vyniuiiuo.
Chairman Aver tninxs tne Demo
cratic committee should have remained
in the city until the Populists assem
bled, after having made them a propo
sition. "Who were we to make a propo
sition to," he said: "It looked bad for
them to leave here before we met. I
don't do business that way."
Advices from the Fifth district are
very favorable to the election of Kitchin
over Settle. A number of mill men
have declared for the young Democrat
of late.
Mr. W. C Stronach, of this city, went
to Wake Forest to-day to have a bullet
in his shoulder located by the cathode

AN APPEAL TO THE WHITE VOTERS
OF NORTH CAROLINA
To Come Together and Protect the State
From Threatened Domination by Negroea
Bepabttfcana KaaatDg An Xactmoaa
Begiatrallon of Illegal Voter.
Special Star Telegram -
Raleigh, N. C, October 16. The
Democratic State Committee to-night
issued an ' address to North Carolina
voters. .. It says the party had no hesi
tation in fusing on the electoral ticket,
and in order that Bryan's administra
tion might not fail for want of silver
legislation, proposed to the. Populists a
united effort for Bi.ver Congressmen in
every district, but the Populists de
clined the proposition which was made
August 13th and insisted on since.
More recently it became apparent that
the Republican party was massing an
enormous registration of illegal voters.
made possible by an election law of
boasted fairness, but the provisions of
which plainly permit fraud, as many cf
those who assisted in its enactment
p'ainly see. -The colored race has
drawn the color line, and seeing the
white people divided on gold and silver
have formed an unbroken Republican
column, trusting that the apparently di
vided white vote will give them a domi
nant position.
North Carolinians must come to
gether to protect North Carolina. In
this crisis the Democratic party rallies
to the support of the people. White
men must be asked to unite.
This committee, on October 18th,
frankly asked co-operation. This the
Populist committee declined. In this
effort the Democratic committee felt
that the heart of the people was with it,
and it cannot think the action of the
Populist committee can express the wish
of that party wbo honestly favor silver
legislation and good government.
Offers to the Populist party of fusion
were made because the Democratic
party felt the importance of uniting the
white people of North Carolina for their
common interest. Having failed in its
efforts to unite the parties favoring sil
ver and white supremacy, it now calls
on all voters to support the only ticket
that offers a hope of success against
McKinley and Russell

among whom is Mr. Downing's beauti
ful and talented wife Eugene Blair "In
Search of Happiness," was written for
the late John McCullougb, but the un
timely death of the actor prevented its
production by him. The play is one
which will not repudiate criticism. It
suggests itself to analysis in three re
spects. As a literary work, as a piece of
play-crait, and ss an ethical problem. As
apiece ot. literature it is ricn ana ex
quisite in every line. It is as honorable
to the library as to the stage. Some of
th'e pasiages, read like poetry, some with
the impassioned elcquence of classical
oratory. It is a pen triumph.
As a piece of play-craft it stands as a
noble model of the at present infrequent
strcng plays. It stands with "fgnomar"
and "The Gladiator," the two great
American classics. . '"

out here; the little township I live in

The Republican party is split in this
State, and San Francisco has two Re

see Russell running for an office; I had
hoped he was dead, politically, long ago.
North Carolina cannot afford to have
him as her Governor, and I hope the
good people of my old State will defeat
him at the polls, and remain true in their
allegiance to Democratic principles and

Whom He Insulted.
News and Observer Special
Greenville, N. C, October 18. The
joint discussion here yesterday between
Lucas and Skinner, candidates for Con
gress, ended amid great excitement, and
Skinner came near causing a row and
serions trouble. Ia his closing rejoinder
Lucas referred to Skinner's denouncing
Branch throughout the district two
years ago because the latter voted to
pay to clerks one hundred dollars a
month while Congress was in session,
and added, too: "I have been told here
to-day that Gov. Jarvis said he heard
Skinner lobbying in Washington in favor
of a bill to pay clerks a salary of one
hundred dollars a month toe year
through, and fifteen minutes later, on
the floor of the House, he made a speech
Bgainsi sou vuicu against iuc uiu.
Skinner sprang to his feet and de
nounced Governor Jarvis as an Infa
mous and damnable liar, using the
names of Dr. O'Hagan and Alex. Blow
in the same connection. Both these
gentlemen were present and resented
Skinner's insult and compelled him to
apologize on the spot.
There was the wildest excitement for
a few minutes, but no damage wis done.
