One cf tbe greatest snow storms in many years is raging over Western Nebraska. Ia attempting to shoot her hus band, Mrs. J.W.

Populist Chair- ! rr.in Washburn says the probabilities are all in tbe direction of Mr. Bryan's elec tion. The situation in Constanti nople is causing the greatest anxiety in diplomatic circles, which are again dis cussing the question of the deposition of tbe Sultan; instructions have been tele graphed for by the representatives o! the different Governments with a view to imminent happenings.

Ain't they "business men?" 1 here are 133 national banks in Japan. They declared dividends this year of 12.43 per cent.,, against 11.80 per cent last year ; so it seems that tbe banks are prospering even in silver-standard Japan. The patience and perseverance of Mrs. Harkins of Philadelphia, was at last rewarded. For years she has not retired at night without looking under tbe bed for a burglar man. A few nights ago she found him. The friends of McKinley com plain that Hon. Tom Reed never mentions Mc. in his speeches. Tom isn't working his jaws in this cam paign for McKinley. It is for Tom. He is looking ahead four years. If Thomas Jefferson were alive some of the men who are claiming political relationship with him now would not be taking that liberty, and the bolters wouldn't be putting his picture oa the decoy ticket. Senator Hawley cot mad while speaking at a Republican meeting in New York because the chairman pulled his coat-tail and asked him to cut it short, not the coat-tall but bis speech. He did cut it short, short off, and swore he never would speech mke in that town again. r The last bid for McKinley votes is by the New York Advertiser, which says that "careful business men esti mate that $500,000,000 will be put In circulation in this country within a tew weeks after McKinley's elec tion." These fellows must have lots of money hoarded. ' The London Economist notes the advance not only in the price of wheat but of neatly all other farm Products.

One Mr. Harrison, whose greatest distinction is that be was once pri vate secretary to Jefferson Davis, and is now employed to make "gold speeches" In this State, - said in his speech at Winston that very few free silver men are honest. That may be his opinion, but it isn't original. He probably got it from reading one of Tom Dixon's sermons. But Tom's sanity is under suspicion. Bishop Worthington, of Omaha, says the trouble with this country is that education has been - carried too far among the farmers.' Well, the farmers have . been studying and learning a good deal in late years, and they have been learning a good deal that the, aforesaid Bishop Wor thington didn't want them to learn, and the "campaign of education" still progresses. American steel rail makers are shipping rails to Japan and selling them. European, rail , makers can deliver them, and for less than they sell them to our railroads.'- Bat they want more protection and are trying to elect McKinley to get it. And some "Democrats,'' who do not be lieve in that kind of thing, are help ing them. Ex-President Harrison whp;.is cam paigning in Indiana is repeating the old rot about - the free coinage of silver enriching the mine owners while making 50 cent dollars. : But he fails to answer the inquiry how if the dollar is going to be worth only 50 cents it can enrich the mine owner.

This is his third visit to Wil mington, and bis many friends give him hearty greeting. Tbe subject 61 his lec ture, "Saul of Tarsus," is one of unusual interest to church-going people, and yet is handled in such a way as to be of the most intense interest to all. This is. said to be his best lecture, but those who heard him on his- previous visits will hardly believe it, at least until after they have heard him to-night. The box sheet opened at Yates' yesterday. . Wttion and Bn.Mll. In 1894 the Democrats of North Caro lina polled 142,952 votes for President. In 1883 they polled 140,903 votes for President.. Then, wby can they not poll 155,000 votes next Tuesday? If they poll 150,000 votes for Cyras B. Watson he will; be elected Governor. Even with the fraudulent registration of negroes in his. favor, Russell's vote will not exceed 140.000 votes. But give him 145.000, and still he is beaten if tbe Democrats noil within five per cent, of their registered strength. .' Improving Prinoeu Street.

A Storm of Indignation. - , The Raleigh News and Observer of yesterday is loaded with letters from prominent Populists denouncing Hal Ayer and his pals for attempting to sell tbe party out to Republicans. These letters are all signed by the writers with their full names. All of tbe writers say they will not indorse the disgraceful trade of Hal Ayer and his confederates, and announce that they will support no candidate for the Legislature who is not known to. favor a silver man for United States Senator. Some of them advise all Populists to support the whole Demo cratic ticket. ,v One Cent a Word.. , .

News From All Over the State, As Shown by Special Reports to the 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. On the 18th instant he mailed circulars to leading Democrats in ; every county, including all the Chairmen of County Committees? and a synopsis of tbe replies will be printed from day to day. Special attention is called to the fact that the circular closed with these words: "But" make yonr estimates conservative" ""- ONSLOW COUNTY -"Greatly improved outlook over 1894. which will result in material Democratic gains. I don't know, of a McKnley Democrat or a Palmer Democrat in the county. ' A number of Republicans will support the Democratic State and Pres idential tickets. Vote of county will be about as follows: Bryan electoral ticket, 1.500; McKinley, 400; Watson, tor Gov ernor, 800; Gathrie, 400;" Rusiell, 850. This is given as a conservative estimate. CALDWELL COUNTR. Democratic outlook decidedly, better than ia 1891. Very little illegal regis tration, There are possibly a dozen gold bug Democrats. Bryan will have 400 majority: Cy. Watson 235 plurality: Doughton (Dem ).. for Congress, 275 majority The Democratic majority in 1891 was only 83. ; V FRANKLIN AND VANCE. .... A leading Democrat who has been canvassing in Franklin and Vance coun ties says ; "I believe that more earnest, determined work was never done than is being put in this week by the Demo crats, and the skies are brighter. AH Democrats who come to Raleigh from different parts of tbe State are in fine spirits." - HAYWOOD COUNTY. The Star bas another excellent re port from Haywood county. In 1891 the Democrats had a little' over 500 ma jority; but the outlook is better now. About 100 Republicans will vote cur State and Presidential tickets. Adams (Dem) for Congress will have a large majority. t - POPULIST NOMINATIONS . For . Couaty Of&eere Had- br tbe Bo- Called Populitt Sxsontlve Committee. The most formidable political demon stration ever made in Wilmington was that held in tbe Court House yesterday. Ia fact, it was tbe king of political meet tngs. ' It was called a Populist commit tee meeting. Four regular members of the Executive Committee were present. who filled tbe vacancies until tbe com mittee reached the number of ten, mak ing almost a complete new Populist committee. The proceedings were more like those of a dime museum, or a circus, with Sergeant of Police R. F Gore acting as clown and "kicker" for the occasion. The following are the nominations that were made: For Sheriff Elij ah Hewlett. For Register of Deeds John Haar.Jr. For Treasurer J. C. Walton. For Coroner R. M. Murray. For County Commissioners C R. Mason, Kiah Bonbam and J. W. Har per. . For Constables Wilmington Town ship. S J. Bryan; Masonboro Township, J.'W. Rodeers; Harnett Township, Ed Back; Cape Fear Township, F.J. Demp sey; Federal Point Township, ' Stewart Taylor.,. For Senate J. H. Cannon. .... For House of Representatives J. W. Taylor and J. P. King, Jr. The Star will not publish the list of magistrates, as some have already said they would decline. J. W. Taylor offered the following which was unanimously passed : Resolved, That Elder J. M. King and Messrs. L. R. Mason, I. M. King. Jr J. C. Walton and J. W.

A Matter of Vital Importance to the - - Democratic Party. It is of the utmost importance that i intelligent and wide awake Demo crats shall watch the counting of the i ballots on the night of the 3d of No vember. - We give an extract from the law: - i "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- resentatives, 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 tbe 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. -THE SPEAKING LAST NIGHT. Ii.bor Com ml.it oner Ltor Addreraed Ii'Se Gathering ot laboring lien and Farmer, la . Behlf ot De mootaov .ad the 8t.te .ad -National Tickets. Mr. B. R. Lacy spoke to the Demo crats of New Hanover last night from tbe stand on Market street, to the largest crowd of laboring men,, mechanics. engineers and . farmers which bas attended a political speaking here in years. He began bv giving a description of himself; how he began Lf s in North Carolina, tbe State in which he was born, by working in the railroad shops in Raleigh as a water-carrier and working in different departments, until after four years of toil he was placed on an engine -and became one of tbe Brotheihood, one of the noblest organi zations ever founded. He was then promoted by his fellow-workmen to a committeeman to 'investigate' diffi culties between the officials and em ploves, and having belonged to thesbest paid set of men and the greatest organi zation in tbe U nited states, was ap pointed by Governor Carr as .Labor Commissioner of tne State. He spoke for an hour and a half, during which time he hit from the shoulder, giving unanswerable argument in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, shoving it upas a benefit to civilization as a thing necessary to every man who toils, and something which is only oppo sing the mtllionares and no other class of men. He plainly showed to those present that it was classes arrayed against masses. His allusion to W. C P. Breckinridge as a gold bug representative ot virtue, and Buckner, another gold bug, surren dering behind breastworks to Gen. Grant, who had a smaller number of men, elicited great applause. He raked Hanna, the money king, and showed that McKinley ' was owned by him, showing the pressure brought to bear by tbe latter being indebted to him to the extent oF $118,000. and where Hanna bad hired foreign labor and put honest men out in the strike on the northern lakes and in the coal mines. His winding up was that all men should stick together in the coming election and vote the straight Demo cratic ticket without scratching, and his appeal to white men was touching. He asked every white man to do his duty, whether he held, a petty office under Republican rnle or not, and not to for sake principle, and on the 8rd of No vember we would elect Bryan, Watson and our county ticket. He was applauded throughout, and created much enthusiasm. After the speaking a frantic rush was made for the platform, and a general handshak ing took place; especially prominent were the boys he had worked with as an apprentice, mechanic and engineer. OPERA HOUSE. GlrcfU-Gircfl. Presented Lut Night to a I - , Crowded House. "Girofle'-Girofla" was presented at the Opera House last night by tbe Robin son Opera Company. The production was in every respect satisfactory. All sustained their ro'es well,,, especially Misses ' Sargeant and Broach . and Messrs. Holmes, Nares and Peakes. Mr. Tom Martin bandied the comedy part, which was rendered in Tommys own style, mirth provoking and up-to- date. The tambourine dance of Miss Ruth Akers was a pleasing feature. There will be no performance to night as the politicians will "hold the fort." To-morrow, at matinee, tbe opera "Pinafore" will be sung, and to morrow night tbe company will close i its engagement with the "Bohemian Girl." SPEAKIWG AT FAYETTEVILLE. B. B.

It requires patience and a long wait for tbe faithful to gain admittance. No one seems to know what is going on inside tbe headquarters. Otho Wilson does not concede his ambition to become a United States Senator. Every day one can ' bear him say that be -will get as many, votes as any other Populist for the Senatorship now. held bv Senator Pritchard. ' - v Russell is here. He looks supremely happy. The fact that Leak with his 500 followers in Wake, and other strong Re publicans in tbe other counties will not vote for the Republican nominee does not seem to agitate him. The Republi cans do not take into consideration the fact that Russell . will be scratched. Granting that the contest will be close, as the more conservative Republicans say, this element of discord would ruin Rus sell's chances. The abuse of Chairman Ayer by many Populists in the State is something ter rific Tbe Populist bosses have manip ulated the voters to such an extent they think they can sell them like so many cattle. Bot tbe people have opened their eyes and, as Maj. Gutbrie aptly said, tbev are not going to be led into Mark Hanna a camp. The fcpuilsts were dazed bv the address of Gutbrie. From intelligence received here, the Fifth District is almost assured to Kitchln. They say that there is not a handful of machine Populists in tbe en tire district since Gatbne spoke out so boldly. 1 be Republicans here are greatly agitated. They are in constant consul tation with Otho Wilson. The Progressive Farmer, in its special edition, says that Maj. Guthrie has taken an untenable position. Special Star- Telerram. Major Gathrie is here to-day. He will not answer Ayer's card, but has made the following statement: I leave it to Pcpulist voters to say who has bettered them. I have prac ticed law thirty years and spent most of my life in the trial of cases in conrt, and from my observation and experience among men, if ths men who are now trying to convince the people that I have betrayed the People's party had had my experience as a lawyer, they would not want this issue presented to the people with the evidence before them. In other words, a lawyer knows a liar when he sees him on the witness stand, and most of the jurors who try cases can ordinarily find out the truth upon the evidence presented to them. 1 would rather be cursed by tbe pie-counter brigand in my own party before election than to have tbe people curse me tbe balance of my life after tbe election. I am a Populist, with both feet on tbe platform.' Secretary Thompson, of tbe Demo cratic Executive Committee, said to night: "Maj. Guthrie's address has changed many votes, and the reports we have received indicate that the Popu lists throughout the State are standing up to him. We will make gains in every township in tbe State. Tbe number of reports we received to-day is surpris ingly large and they are exceedingly en couraging, we wm carry tne atate. ,Chairman Ayer was asked if Bryan would carry tbe State. His reply was: "I am making no statements now." Chairman Ayer sends out a farewell circular, with customary denunciation of Democrats: advises Populists to look out for riots instigated by Democrats oa election day; . : enumerates numerous schemes which he savs Democrats will attempt to practice. Senator Butler is said to be on his way to North Carolina. It is stated that he quietly left Washington to-day for Ra leieh. Chairman Ayer will make no statement about the matter. Russell referred to the Governor's mansion to-day as "that durned old thing." He says he will turn cows out on the lawn to graze. Wben asked whether he would have an inaugural ball if elected, he ejaculated, ''The deuce. no!" REPUBLICAN RASCALITY.

Raleigh, Oct. 29. Chairman Manly received the following tbis afternoon. dated Washington, D. C: "Information just received that a man has just returned from your State, after having left 225.000 to consummate a deal which he claims will give tbe elec toral vote to McKinley. investigate and be on vour guard. - "fbignedl CHAS. J. FAULKNER, "Coairman Congressional Committee." Information has been also received at Democratic headquarters that it is prob able the McKinleyltes are sending out fraudulent electoral tickets. Tbe char acter of the fraud has not yet been dis covered. It may be tbat they have too many names on the ticket; that electors are put la the wrong district, or some other such fraud. Chairman Manly says with the new. election law it behooves every man con nected with the election to study it carefully and know what he is doing, and above all things for every person voting to read his tickeu carefully. LATER. Republicans are sending out Populist tickets with only the five Populist electors. And are sending ont Demo cratic tickets with only the five Demo cratic electors. This is done to incite the scratching of electors by Democrats and Populists. The -largest bargain in Edging to-dav at 10c per yard at C W.
