He has worked pretty hard for McKinley. - - Mr. Cleveland deprecates arraying "the masses against the classes," but about four years'ago Mr. Cleveland 1 indulged in some stately phraseology about the "communism of pelf."

Palmer and Buckner do not ex pect to be elected, they do not expect tocarry a single State or county in the Union, and yet they are parading around the country as if there was some show for them. Who is paying the expenses of this decoy side show? J. W. Stewart, a prominent Popu list of Mecklenburg county, has I -withdrawn - from that party and pined the Democrats, because he thinks that in this contest all who are for the white metal and the white man ought to be together. - Some one asked the Cleveland Plaindealer if "Mark j Hanna was foreign or American born?" . Mark is American born, but he couldn't help that. If he had been consulted, he would probably prefer to have been born in England.

On the 18th instant be mailed circulars to leading' Democrats in every county, including all the Chairmen of County Committees, and a synopsis of the replies wilt be printed from day to day. Special attention is called to tbe fact : that the circular closed with these words: "But make your estimates conservative." , creewe couirrY. ' There has been illegal registration ot negroes in this county, which will prob ably result in a small Democratic loss on all except national ticket. Bryan will carry the county. There are no bolting or gold bug Democrats. NASH COUNTY. - - ; This county went against the Demo crats in 1894 by 1.233 maiority. This majority will be cut down to about 700 on Congressman. Negro vote will be solid for Russellbut his majority will probably not exceed 400; a Democratic gain ot over 800. The Bryan" electoral ticket will carry the county by about 600 majority, which will be a Democratic gain over 1894 of more than 1,800. Very, few, if any, bolting Democrats.' - GATES COUNTV. The vote will not vary materially from that of 1894, when the Democrats lost the county by 72 votes, on State ticket. No illegal . registration.. There are no Democrats in this county who will vote either for McKinley or Palmer. EDGECOMBE COUNTY. There will not be much difference in the vote here. The negro vote will be nearly solid for Russell. But little illegal registration of negroes. Nt more than 25 Democrats in this county who will vote for McKinley or the In dianapolis decoy ticket. About 150 Republicans will vote the Democratic State and National tickets. There was a small Fusion majoriry in this county in 1894. - I DUPLIN COUNTY. Tne Democratic outlook is better than in 1894, and is improving. Russell will get tbe full .negro vote. No bolting Democrats for McKinley or Palmer Democrats practically a unit for the pint Bryan electoral ticket. No scratching." A great many Populists will refuse to vote for any candidates for the 'Legisla ture who are for Pritchard for U.S. Sen ate. Upon the whole, we will do well. , DAVIDSON COUNTY. The Democratic ticket generally will make, considerable gains over the vote of 1893, when the Democrats carried the county by 92 majority. The Bryan electoral ticket will carry the county. In 1894 the Democrats were beaten by 654 votes. . " ' ' . PASQUOTANK COUNTY. No change of consequence expected from the vote of 1894. There has not been much illegal registration of ne groes. Every one so registered will be challenged. The ' bolting gold, bug strength in this county is about 15. JOHNSTON COUNTY. " The Democratic outlook is much better than in 1891, and is improving. There is great improvement since State fusion was declared cfiE. Our majority will increase nearly 60 per cent, over 1894 Bryan will carry tbe county by 900, and balance of our ticket, State and county, by 750. Probably 60 negroes Illegally registered. There are perhaps 10 former Democrats who will vote for McKinley and 10 for Palmer. Russell will get about all the negro vote. CHATHAM COUNTY. The vote of Chatham county will be about as follows: For Bryan 8,000, for McKinley 1.700; for Governor. Watson 1,800, Rnssell 1 500, Guthrie 1.400; for Congress, Pou (.Democrat) 2,200, Stroud (Populist) 2,000; for Legislature, Demo- ocrat, 1,800, Republican. 1.700, Populist, 1.200. In 1894 the Democrats lost the county by a majority of 1,583. 1- There will be some division in the colored vote and it is very probable there will be more than estimated.' I heard a prominent colored Republi can say a short time ago that he wanted to trade his interest- In Russell for a suck-egg dog Do not think there has been any ille gal registration. There is not a Democrat, so far as know, who will bolt the Bryan electoral ticket. About two hundred negroes will vote the National Democratic ticket. TYRRELL COUNTY. The Democratic outlook in this county is better thin in 1894. and is improving There will be no division of tbe negro vote between7 Guthrie" and Russell There are no gold-bag Democrats either for McKinley or Palmer. No illegal registration. Tyrrell, county gave 822 majority for the Fusion ticket in 1894 CARTERET COUNTY. Carteret county gave J 15 majority against the Democrats in 1894. This year we will gain In every precinct ex cept two. Negro vote solid for Russell.

The Populists have taken a poll of the State, but they refuse to give tbe re turns. Chairman Ayersiys the poll will not be made public, and the Republi cans assert that the Populists are afraid to, because it shows that the Populist vote will not exceed 28.000. When told that Republicans were prophesying tbat Guthrie and Dockery wou'd not poll over 15.000 votes. Mr. Ayer said it is strange that so many people seek assistance from the Popu lists, in view of the fact that the partv is rated as being numerically small. 7 Special Star Telegram. G. S.

Although the wedding was a quiet one, tbe church was crowaea wun friends and acquaintances long before the appointed hour arrived. - It was beautifully decorated with palms, ferns, and rare and costly flowers Soon after the hour of six tbe bride entered the church by the middle aisle, leaning upon her father's arm, followed by the ushers, while the groom entered from the side aisle, with his brother, Mr. Maxsden Bellamy, Jr., who acted as best man." The bride and groom met at the chancel, where the bride's father gave her away and the groom led her to the altar where the ceremony was per formed by the rector, . Rev. Robert Stwnge.D.D.

A Matter of Vital Importance to the Democratic Party. ' It is of the utmost importance that intelligent and wide awake Demo crats shall watch the counting of the ballots on the night of the 3d of No vember. We give an extract from the law: ; "That when the election shall be finished, the registrars and judges" of election, in the presence of such can didates, or their duly authorized repre sentatives, as may choose to attend, shall open the boxes' and count tbe ballots, reading aloud the names of the persons who shall appear on each ticket ? and the said count ing of votes shall be continued with out adjournment until completed and the result thereof declared." , It will be seen tbat, under the law, candidates, if they prefer to do so, may choose their own representa tives to watch the count, and in this way the most intelligent and ca pable Democrats in every county can see that every ballot is honestly counted. " This matter is so important that we hope, every Democratic newspa per and every Democratic speaker will call attention to it. A DAISY. SPEECH. A Pat Negro Preacher from W.uhlngton Delights the Monro Dark lea with the Meanest Speech ot the Campaign. A correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, writing from Monroe, Union county, Oct. 17th, says : : . : ' A three-hundred pound... fat, greasy, black negro preacher, said to be from Washington, spoke to the negroes here to-day. His utterances were highly in sulting to the white people and corre spondingly gratifying to the negro scum which grunted and . clapped when he said anything especially mean. He said . this was the negro's country and this his year. He told them to vote for the honor of their country, for sound money and protec tion to tneir industries, rie tola them to stick to the Northern people and they would get the money. And the crowds, which Democrats of the town has to keep from starving or freezing in the Winter were enthusiastic, in their ap- nlanse. He told them tn fnllnw thiir local leaders nnquestioninglv, wherever they led. and whoever did not vote the ticket wouid. be, branded as a traitor, and would hereak"S7cr;ver be spotted. tie said that the Northern peoplerere watching their conduct' and would re ward them; that Bryan had said that if they voted for him he would give them bell. -. - But of alt his utterances, this capped the climax: He said that recently he and several other colored ministers had visited Maj. McKinley at his home; tbat the latter sent carriages and footmen to the depot to take them up to tbe house. L-where he entertained them. When thev got ready to leave, be (the speaker) stepped up to Mrs. McKinley and asked her to allow him to "decorate her (f x-, act word). She replied: "Certainly, doctor. When he had pinned a badge upon her neck, she said: "Thank you. doctor. He said that bad he done that down here be would have been lynched. t All these negro speakers are being sent here to whip into line a dozen or so negroes who seemed Inclined to refuse to vote the Republican-Populist ticket. The Republicans have money to burn when they can thus spend it upon a few fractious negroes. Negro magistrates will be elected in part of this county.

GORMAN SAYS BRYAN- The Astute Maryland B.nator Predlou the laeotion of Bryan by en TJop?eda- dented Majority. : New York Journal Washington, D. C Oct. 19.-Sena-tor Gorman stated to-night in a private conversation that he is now confident Bryan will be elected in November. ; ."Elections have been bought in this country." said he. "but the danger of this election being purchased is slight. There is danger of course in . the great cities; where money maybe spent to advantage, but the sentiment In this country in fa vor of free coinage is such that it will re sult la the election of Bryan by a hitherto unprecedented, majority. Maryland is sure to give Bryan a good solid majority, and more than enough of tbe so-called doubtful States of the Middle West will be carried to give Mr. Bryan the needed maiortty in the electoral College. - Senator Gorman has before this pre dicted success in Maryland, but up to to night he has been mute so far as the sreneral result is concerned. - Mis belief that the country will cast Democratic votes enough to elect Mr. Bryan Is tbe result of a careful, study of conditions about which he has become very famil iar during bis political career.
