He contented himself with announcing that he was for Palmer and Buckner. He also dodged the statement that he bad, at a meeting of the State Democratic ExecutiveJCommittee, voted in favor of electoral fusion. Oa this point he stated that he was not at the last meeting of the Executive Committee. But , Mr. Bradshaw knows that it was not at the last meeting that the Committee de cided by 29 to 6 to propose electoral fusion to the Populists. , Hear Mr. B. B. Iacj. -.' , Mr. B.

News From All Over the State, As Shown by Speolal Reports i ' to tbe- Star. Mr. Wm. H. Bernard, of the State Democratic Committee, is now making a poll of the State by counties, in a gen eral way, with a .view to ascertaining what the real political situation is, and the information received will be printed in the Star. Oh the 18th instant he 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 f id that the circular closed with these7 words; "But. make your estimates conservative." - - v - BLADEN COUNTY. "; This is a summary of our latest report from . Bladen: . Bryan will - carry the county by 200 to 800 majority.' Plural ity for Russell or Waubn will be very small, with chances in favor of Watson. About 25 or 80 . negroes will vote for Guthrie, and about same number for Watson. We expect to elect county and Legislative tickets. ; About 100 Repub licans will vote our State and county tickets in part. ;: Only one - gold-bug Democrat in county who will vote for Palmer and Buckner. . There are about ten who will not vote at all lor Presi dent. The Dimocrats lost Bladen in 1894 ty a majority of 602 on State ticket. - - . ' BURKE COUNTY. The following Is ' our report in full from Burke county: 'I am glad to be able to state that the outlook is much better for Democracy than in 1894. The Populists of this county split over the question of fusion with the Republicans, and the breach is still widening, the free silver element of the party refusing to be delivered over to the Hanna crowd in exchange for a few official crumbs from the table of the Republican lords. So the free silver Populists are co-operating heartily v with the. Democrats on the National,: State, Congres sional and Legislative tickets, thus insuring substantial gains. There will be practically no division of the negro vote, which will be cast solidly for Rus sell, on whom, notwithstanding his ut terances in the past, they now look as their own peculiar priest and prophet under whose ministrations they are to be awarded the chief seats in the syna gogue. They already have their eyes on a number of positions in the two State institutions here, now filled by white men and girls, which they confidently expect to see filled by colored coIorecTVomen within W&Jrext twelve months if Russell should win which God forbid t There are a score or more of Palmer and Buckner Democrats in the town of Morganton, who make np in zeal what they lack in numbers, but they will content themselves with regis tering a protest by voting their senti ments on the national . ticket, voting with the regular Democracy on State, Congressional and Legislative mattes. The loss of these votes for. Bryan will be moie than offset by the votes of free silver Republicans, who will vote for Bryan and Si wall, a careful estimate showing that the ratio will be about three free silver Republicans : to one gold-bug Democrat.." Burke gave a fusion majority of 92 in 1891. f - .; PERSON AND LENOIR COUNTIES. ; We have already printed highly en couraging reports from Person 'and - Le noir; but we have other reports, all of whicb agree with those heretofore given, that there will be large Demo cratic gains in both counties. ROCKINGHAM COUNTY. Among the best reports received are two from . Rockingham county. There will be great Democratic gains and the Republicans will be beaten on every ticket. Rockingham gave 739 Fusion majority in 8194. " SURRY COUNTY. Democraticoutlook encouraging. Will elect county and Legislative tickets. Populists have endorsed county Demo cratic ticket. Very few bolting Demo crats. Doughton (Dem.) for Congress will carry county b? 200 mapritv. Dem ocrats lost the county in 1894 by 189 majority. VANCE COUNTY, Outlook better than in 18U4 and im proving. . Democrats wiil gain 300 votes. Nogold Democrats who will support Palmer or McKinley.' A number of Re publicans will vote for P6 a (Dem.) for Congress. Negroes solid for Russell. This is a good report from Vance, as the Democrats lo3t the couaty in 1894 bv a majority of 989. " ' , COLUMBUS COUNTY. , Taere is considerable improvement in Columbus. The county will be sorely Democratic, but cannot , vet- estimate majority. Negroes with few exceptions will vote for Russell, but Watson will have a mst rity over both Russell and Guthrie. Gold-bugs very scarce. Ia 1894 the Democrats lost the county by 180 majority. r WAYNE COUNTY. We give our Wayne county report In full as follows: Reply ing to yon r favor, I have to say that the outlook in Wayne is better than In 1894 and improving. Russell will get the bulk of the negro vote, Guthrie a part, and Watson a part. Some of Our colored citizens always vote the Democratic ticket. ' There has been some lllejal registration, which will be eliminated by challenge. Very few Dem ocrats if any will vote for Palmer and Buckner and none for McKinley. A few Republicans will vote for Bryan bnt the great bulk of them for McKinley. We are justified in saying that Cy. Watson will have a plurality of from 600 to 800 in Wayne, and Bryan a majority cf about 1.500. We confidently expect the election of the Democratic county and Legislative tickets by safe ma j ntles." This is a splendid report. The Demo cratic majority in that county in 1894 was only 143. THE MORNING .STAR. LARGE INCREASE IN ITS DAILY CIR- I - , " CULATION. .

The Morning Star -has been mov ing rapidiy to the front during the past few months, the circulation ot the regu lar Daily edition . having , increased fcr that period' 448 copies, and new sub scribers are coming in every day. Several large extra editions have been p inted and circulated during the' campaign in the interest ol the Democratic party; but these are not included in our statement. We refer only to the regular edition printed every day. C'-Z v This increase is partly attributable to the reduction s in our rates of subscrip tion; but there is another and potent rea son lor it. The people appreciate a news paper that has convictions and the cour age of its convictions. The Star has been straightforward in its advocacy ol Democratic principles and Democratic candidates. Its honest sentiments have been openly and fearlessly expressed. It has worked, and is still working, for the best interests of North Carolina and the Democratic -party; and its position has .been sastained by the masses of that party, as is shown by the large increase in tb number of its subscribers. Never before has its bona fide circulation been so large as it now is. and never was the prospect of continued increase so promi sing. ' : , V GOLD-BUG DEMOCRATS. . ' ; Bcadibaw and . VI a to j Addreeted a Mixed Assemblage at the Court Hooae Iit Right. "... . Mr. Geo. S. Bradshaw, elector on the Palmer and Buckner ticket, and Mr. Lindley Vinton, of Indiana, addressed a meeting of voters last evening in the county court honse. The crowd that filled the court room was a mixed assem blage, about one-third white and black Republicans, one-third supporters ' of Bryan and free silver, and the remaining tjiird Palmer and Buckner supporters. v At 8 30 o'clock Mr. Wm. Calder in troduced the first speaker, Mr. Brad shaw. Mr. Calder said that Mr. Brad shaw had been a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee, but when - the proposition bad been sub mitted to him to throw aside his De mocracy and join with the Populists be withdrew. :v. - . ; ; ." , Mr. Bradshaw spoke about the local press calling him a "Hannacrat" and a "decoy duck," and the unfavorable in troduction it bad given him. Mr. Brad naw thougJJtjjfSiSriHTfremed rong" which the local press had done him. He devoted the remainder of his speech to "sound 'money.", "For fourteen years," he said,! have attended every meeting of the State Democratic Executive ' Committee, with the ex ception of the last" one, and Mr. Calder has stated my reason for not attending that one. (iliudmg to Mr. Calder's in troductory remarks.) I stand before yon to-night as a representative of a set of Democrats basiness men and loyal true Democrats of North Carolina, without whose support joa would never see Dsmociac walk to victory. The great trouble of the country is prejudice, : While making his speech, Mr. Brad shaw mentioned the name of W. J. Bryan, which brought forth tumultuous applause which continued for about two minutes. Mr. Bradshaw lauded Cleveland and Carlisle as well as Palmer and Buckner, and concluded by, asking all Democrats to support Hon. Cyrus B. Watson for Governor. Mr. Lindley Vinton, of Indiana, then spoke on the financial question for an hour and fifteen minutes. Mr. Vinton proved to be the speaker of the occa sion, and presented what he called the "sound money" side of the question. His speech was made up mostly , of statistics. He is a fluent speaker and made a good impression, but it is ex ceedingly .doubtful if he made a single convert to his views. " u a-4 . Bob'.naon Optra Company, ' Commencing ' to-morrow, .Monday, October 26 tb, at the Opera House, the Robinson Opera Company will give to Wilmington theatre-goers a genuine treat of legitimate comic opera, and have chosen Andrew's sparkling and witty - composition '-Olivette" as the Opening ; attraction. This ; beautiful opera abounds in comical situations, the story dealing with an old sea cap tain's desire to marry the young daugh ter of the Ssoechal of the village. Oli vette, who has fallen in love with a young officer of the Countess guard.' The Countess is also in love with .him, and- to accomplish his wedding with Olivette the young officer disguises himself as his node, the old sea cap tain, and "receives the consent of the Countess to marry O.ivettey-which be does. The old sea captain returns to claim bis bride, and is thunderstruck to find out that she is already married. The ancle and nephew meet, and each claim Olivette for bis bride. A plot be tween the supposed captain (the Duke) and Olivette to carry off the Countess is revealed, and after explanations Valen tine, the young officer, is given his bride and the Countess forced to accept the Duke. The duel in the second act between the .Countess (Miss Frankie Broach) and ' Olivette - (Miss Isabelie Sargent) is the gem of the opera. .

Special Star Correspondence. -. Raleigh. N. C, Oct. 21. , The announcement is made by Thos. E. Watson and his friends in the South that the Populist Vice Presidential can didate will visit . North Carolina next week, alter finishing his : campaign in Tennessee, which he has already under taken. .None of the Populists in this' City know, anything about Mr. Wat son's heralded : visit to this State. A careful inquiry fails to ascertain any one who knows whether or not he has ap pointments here. Chairman Ayer would not say whether he would make any ap pointments for Mr. Watson. A leading Populist stated to-day that Watson could not injure the fusion arrangement in this State, as the Populists would sup port it almost unanimously. ' Chairman Aver does not like the in sinuations to the effect that he has either heard from Mr. Hanna or "pulled- bis leg." - - Everybody in tbe State has accused Otho Wilson of having heard from Mark, but tbe adjutant only laughs. He likes abuse. But he is deserving of it all. - - . There was a great amount of challeng ing done to-day in this city. . Of course most of those challenged are ex-convicts and negroes. The penalty is severe for a disfranchised voter to attempt to vote and Chairman Manly says he will make prosecution where an attempt to vote is made. The challenging process is merely formal, but next Saturday, trial day, is expected to develop much excite ment and bad blood. . " Governor Carr is receiving many ap plications to restore disfranchised voters to Citizenship. The Governor has had so many of these applications that he has requested tbe press to state the law. Tbe Governor has no power to restore citi zenship to a person convicted of an in famous crime, and tbe only course opea to such person s to apply to the courts where convicted, furnishing evidence of good citizenship since then. No person can be restored more than once. Special Star Teleram. A letter from Major Guthrie urging Populists to support Cy. Watson, and excoriating certain Populist, leaders, is said to be forthcoming the early part of the week. The report cannot be effi cially confirmed, however. From reports of registration received from nearly all the counties, it is certain that the total - registration will exceed three hundred thous a a a .M prooaoiiityreacnniree hundred and "llUUI HVimiiiiiI Tbe increase is eight per cent.

A Matter of Vital Importance to the t Democratic Party. It is of the. utmost importance that ntelligent 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 sncb can didates, or their duly authorized repre resentatives, as may choose to attend, shall open the boxes and count the ballots, reading aloud tbe names of the persons who shall appear on each ticket S and the said count ing of votes shall be continued with- out ad joornment 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. LETTER FROM DR. WORTH- Thla Venerable and Betpseted North Care linian Bo area the Money Power Hot Shot For HirellDK Speakers. . Dr. J. M. Worth, former State Treas urer, and one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of the State, has a letter In the last issue of tbe Ashe boro Courier which will be read with in terest. He is a brother of Mr. Barziila G. Worth and uncle of Mr. David G. Worth, both of this city, and, as tbe Star is informed, both for Bimetallism and Bryan. Tbe following is the letter of Dr. Worth: - I have often heard that it is reported that I am opposed to tbe silver party. 1 desire to state that in all my long life (and I am now past the 85th mile post) I have never felt so anxious about any election as I do now for tbe election of Bryan, and never was to well satisfied that I am right in my decision in taking this course. The gteat mammoth syndicates acd millionaires and corporations have the undisputed control of all the financial laws and most of tbe money now in the United States, and are now spending millions of their ill-gotten wealth to fasten upon us the gold standard with all its trusts, with all its great combinations ol corporations and millionaires and al financial and banking laws as they cow .Stand aUfor thrjarSL.l"tere8t of the common people ot tu.s lam ' We have now all over this country, in cluding our immediate ceighborbood. hired speakers whose patriotism is bought and liberally paid for by the great financier Hanna to siy what be di rects them to say. Millions of money is paid in advance to enable them to hold fast to all the great advantages they now have. - - If these bought gold bug speakers were to sav at the close of their speeches : "Now I have slid to yon what we agreed with Mark Hanna to say. We were bard up for money and Mark Hanna agreed to pay ns a big price to make the speeches; you are to judge whether you. will follow Hanna's money or go with the masses of the people," I should in this case have some feeling ol forgiveness, but if they claimed they were acting from patriotic motives and sincerely believed what they said, I woull not be able to find any decent language to express the contempt that should be held for such men. Waal we want is to retire all rabid, hungry, starv ing politicians into obscurity and vote for solid, sober, honest. Christian men. If the gold bug party buys this election as thev are tryieg to do, all tbat money will have to be paid back to them by all the tax piyers. Men do not put np money that they do not expect to profit by tbe investment. J M. Worth. Asheboro, Oct. 19. 1896. One Cent a Word.
