A New York gold organ enquires: "What after the election?" The principal thing in which the Ameri can people will be generally inter ested after the election will be Wm. J.

The latest from London is that the Bank of England is going to make another raise in the rate of ex- change to check the outflow of gold. As It is said that this gold is coming to this country to pay for wheat," it shows that even the bread eaters of Europe are at the mercy of the gold manipulators, who, when they check the outflow of gold check the Inflow of wheat. . The gold standard is a boon to humanity, isn't it? The Chattanooga Times, gold or gan, asks if it wouldn't be better for the New York Sun to quit jabbing Cleveland till after the election, as Mr. Cleveland can stand it, bat the Sun may hurt the cause. But Bro. Dana would jisk a few votes any time to let fly a dart at Grover.

PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN IN NORTH CAROLINA. : News From All Over he State, As Shown by Special Reports s.... -to the Star 1 Mr. Wm. H. Bernard, of the State Democratic Committee, is now making a poll of tbe State by coanties, in a gen eral way, with a view to ascertaining what the real political situation is, and the information received will be printed iathe Star. 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 .will be printed from day to day. Special Attention is called - to the fact tbat the circular closed with these: words: "But make your estimates conservative." "WASHINGTON COUNTY. The Democratic vote In this county will be larger than two years ago, but the Republican vote will also be larger. The Populist vote will fall off from 1892. based on Eium's vote. The county will probably give Watson a small plurality, under 100." The Democrats lost the county by a small majority , in 189ft. Bryan will get from 800 to 500 majority. The negro vote will go solid for Russell without a break, There have been a number of illegal registrations in this county, but chiefly by convicts ana those under age. There is but one place where we see any evidence of colonization. We estimate 100 illegally registered negro votes. No bolting gold-bugs in this county, with the pos- eibte exception of two men. There are a number -of . men in this county who have always voted the Democratic State and county tickets but Republican na tional ticket. They will do the sime thing this year. I know of only eight Democrats who will vote for McKinley in this entire county, and that on the tariff question. I have been an active participant in every campaign since 1884, and there has never been such a solid array of negroes as we have to contend with this year. They say they prefer Russell to McKinley. You are at liberty to say tbat in this county the negroes are massed solidly lot Rnssell and negro domination. They are for nothing else. CUMBERLAND COUNTY. Cumberland county gavj a Rep.-Pop. majority of 160 in 1894. The following is the situation now as given by the best Dosted men in tbe county: "We have fu- idn-fe8teQ8-J)ia9C4aJ-a4"ti regular, straightforward, honest Popi hsts as unanimously expressed in their Convention. Some of the defeated can didates for office before that Coavention have battled and have fused with the Neill Waddell (negro) Republicans. The outlook for carrying the county is much better than in 1894. We feel reasonably confident of electing our full . county ticket. There has been considerable il legal registration chiefly from convicts and youths. The Palmer vote in county will not exceed 80. Bryan will carry county by from 800 to 500. State and county will be close chances all favor ing our side. The white vote exceeds the colored 700 to 800. : The result will be decided by the variable white Popu list vote. There is no question as to the use of money by the Republican leaders in this county. It has been admitted." Another correspondent, who has been all over the county, writes : "A month ago I saw no chance to carry the county. Now I think our chances much better and hope that we are going to carry the county by a safe majority. My informa tion from careful inquiry leads me to be lieve" that the Populists will generally vote the Bryan electoral ticket, without regard to what they will do in State and county matters. If they, do I think our county will give Bryan 500 majority. Between Watson and Russell the vote will be close, though I hope that Wat son will carry it by a plurality." 4- ; LENOIR COUNTY. Democratic prospects better and im proving, we will gain 2U0 votes over 1894. Not over a dozsn gold Democrats In the county. Very little illegal registration.- This county went against us by 47 majority in 1894. Here is another report from a gentleman who is thor oughly familiar, with the situation in every township in tbe county : "Oar county is in better shape tor Demo:racy than in 1891. From carefal estimates the Democratic county ticket will be elected by a small majority. I think Bryan will get 850 majority; Cyrus Wat son, for Governor, 800 to 400 plurality; Fred Woodard. for Congress, 800 to 400 plurality. Temple (Dem ) will be elected to the House by a small majority; the vote for State Senators will be close in this county, perhaps a small Demccratic mijorlty. A considerable number of Populists have returned to the Democratic party. Russell will get the negro vote practically solid never siw tne negroes arrayeu so soiiuiy against the whites before. Perhaps a dozen Populists will vote for Russell. The registration of Kinston township shows 189 white majority, a considerable white gam over 1894. when this town ship gave 37 Rep.-Pop. majority; now will givs 75 Democratic n majority at least. The registration in other town ships, as far as heard from, shows Demo cratic gains. . There may be as many as a dozen bolting goldbug Democrats in the county, but I think the number less. The Democrats of Lenoir are making a great fiiht against negro domination." RANDOLPH COUNTY. Bryan will carry tuts county. Vote between Watson and Russell will be dose. Strowd (RepPop.) ;will have a small majority for Congress over Poa (Dem,) Not over a dozen gold-bugs in the county. " Think we will elect Leg islative and county ticket. This Is a first-rate report, as Randolph gave a Fusion majority of 715 in 1894. . Mr. A. F. Bo wen, of Raleigh, is la the city. RALEIGH NEWS BUDGET. ANOTHER REPUBLICAN 8CHEME NIPPED IN THE BUD. Tne HietioK BesUtiation Bock Brought to Light Chairman Ajet'j Ultimate ol ' - tbe Popollat Vote Burglary at Cary - Tne Drammera Bryan and Bewail Club. Special Star Correspondence Raleigh. N. C Ost. 23. The unexpected has happened again. This morning George Rogers, the Re publican registrar in the Second Ward, who claimed to have lost the registra tion book and was subsequently ar rested and bound over to court, turned up in Clerk of the Court Young's office with the mystical book. Roeers de clined to make a statement further than tbat he would make a satisfactory ex planation to the grand jury. The pros pect of pecking rock on the roads for several months frightened Rogers and nipped another Republican scheme Tn the bud. - ' .. At Cary, a village seven miles from Raleigh, burglars entered tbe general merchandise store of F. R. Gray & Bro. and blew open tbe safe. Explosives were used. Tne safe was badly shat tered. Two hundred and fifty dollars in money was taken. The work was that of professionals. Chairman Hat Ayer has stolidly re fused to estimate the strength of his party for more than three months. To day Mr. Ayer, upon being pushed, put the strength of the Populist vote at 70.000. This is according to a poll re cently taken by Mr. Ayer, and which Mr. Ayer staled, is as good as anybody's. He puts that estimate at a minimum. Republicans land Populists are always ahead of everything with their polls and they generally claim everything in sight. Mr. Ayer argues that his party has lost nothing since it cast 47,000 votes in '92, with the exception of Buck Kitchin and Spier Wbitaker. One of the features of the Fair has been the organization of a large Bryan and Sewall Club composed entirely ot 'travelling men who were gathered here. CyrWatson will probably make speech the day prior to the election at a big rally In Winston MARKET HOUSE MATTER. ' H0TJS: Alderm Tbe Board of Aldetman Change Their O.dtnanoe Bo Ai to Avoid.

The Board then adopted an amend ment to the Market ordinance permit ting the sale of fresh meats outside the market houses under certain restric tions, and passed an ordinance as fol lows : That any person or persons who shall obtain the consent of the Board of Al dermen to carry on the business of re tail dealer of fresh meats, etc , at any. place or places other than at the public market houses of the said city, shall pay a license tax ot $100 per annnm, payable in quarterly instalments in advance on the first days of January, April, July and October of each year. A petition from Mr. A.Shrier to erect two dwellings on Sixth, between Orange and Dock streets, was granted. Petition of Koonce & Kennedy to erect stable shed in Purcell alley was granted. Alderman Northrop stated that Mr. William Goodman, who had just built a dwelling house on Castle, between Front and Second streets, wanted to put bis fence on the line of other fences, which were a few feet on the street line. Mr. Goodman addressed the" Board, and after much comment it was found that an ordinance covered the erection of fences, and the matter was passed over. Robinson Comic Opna Comptny.

A Hatter of Vital Importance to the ' Democratic Party. It is of the ntmost Importance tbat 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 rcsentatives, as may choose to attend, shall open the boxes and count the, 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 that, 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 RACE RIOT. THE NOTORIOUS SATTERFIELD CITES NEGROES TO RIOT AT ROXBORO. IN- Beveral Hundred People Xngiged ia the Fight Matr Badly .Wounded A . Democrat Makes a Conctl ... ,' Utory Bpeeeh. A special to the Charlotte Observer from Roxboro, October 22d, says: There was a big riot in Person coun ty to-day. The county candidates spoke at Winstead. After conservative speeches made by R. B. Boone, of Dur ham, and Col. Jno. S Cunningham, of Person, b. P. Satterfield, Republican candidate for the House, made an in cendiary speech to the negroes and caussd them to attack a white man, and as he was defending himself from their vile epithets the negroes began to strike him with sticks, and a general riot ensued between several hundred whites and the negroes. The entire ifficulty was brought on by the in- med minds of the negroes, resulting frbm$he speech of said Sattet field. There weVs, a number badly wounded, and blood floVfd freely. ' A number of wnue men were sirasf Dy rocKS tnrown by negroes and seriously hurt. Some 6ne tueA' a p. ' IkgSSLil1 kThe'hittw -dt expecting any difficulty, bat I am informed this evening tbat the arrangement was made in Roxboro last night to bring about the difficulty by the negroes. From what lean learn, a great many negroes were badly injured. Col. Cun ningham made a speech to pacify the white men. appealing to them to let their best judgment get the better of their anger, resulting from this uncalled-for atuck. and lay aside their pas sion and prejadice. His advice was followed by the white men and they quietly went to work to get the names of the negroes who brought about the trouble. ; This has solidified the white people here and will result in our good. Kox boro is wild to-night, and nothing but abnse is heard for Satterfield. Further trouble is feared. The Observer makes the following edi torial comment on tbe above : "The riot at a political meeting in Per son county yesterday appears to have been one of those incidents which have occurred too frequently in the South since the war, but which have, happily, been ot rare occurrence in recent years A vicious white man inflames a lot of ignorant but inflammable negroes, in cites them to violence, and then pulls bis own head oat and leaves the ne groes to suffer. The white man in the present case is the notorious Satterfield, who was a clerk in the last Legislature and was indicted for tampering with the bills. His record as a clerk so com mended bim to his fellow Republicans of Person that they have nominated him for the House, and in his canvass be precipitates a race riot. , ; "Such an event as this ought to cause the people of North Carolina to think very soberly of their duty in view of the election soon to take place. With such a man as Russell Governor and Satterfields legislating for us, we would have a state ol anairs of which tbe oc currence of yesterday was a suggestion a state of affairs from which the peo ple would be glad to escape before they would be ante tor." Magistrate' Coutts. Henry Smith, colored, was yesterday sent to jail from Justice McGowan's Court upon failure to give bail in the sum of $50 to. answer at the Criminal Court to a charge of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

Also, that in the early part ot the cam paign, he pledged himself for free silver at 16 to 1; and that while a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee he voted for electoral fasion.
