' , They bad a pretty big McKinley parade in New York Saturday. There has been a good deal of parade in this campaign on that side. But it has been all dress parade and amounts to nothing but show. To-day the real tug will come and the dress paraders will not figure so much in that. : ' - '- - .. ; Do the straight thing to-day and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Remember your country, 1 your State and your home, and cast your vote to-day for the Democratic ticket from Presidential .electors down to coroner. For nearly; twenty years North Carolina had peace, law and otder, and friendly feeling among ber peo ple under Democratic rule. He would be a foolish or a bad citizen who would, with" the lights of the past before him, vote for a party whose rule would jeopardize all this. The money manipulators in Wall street have managed to keep up the gold reserve for the past couple months without another issue of bonds. Let us see how long they will contiue to keep it up after today.- " ' The looming figure on the Repub lican side in this contest is not "Na poleon" McKinley but Marcus Au- relius Hanna. Marcus is the real Napoleon, and If be wins he will be the power that will rule McKinley. STEW ADVEBTISBMEBTT3 Opera House Emily Bincker. Roger Moore Lime, land plaster. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Cy.

Doubtless this rascality has been practiced in other counties. Mr. D. T. Moss, Populist can didate for Congress in the Second Dis trict, has withdrawn in favor of Hon. F. A. Woodard, the Democratic candidate. Woodard favors the free coinage of sil ver, while the negro White, his oppo nent, is a McKinley gold-bag. The estimate of Hon James K. Jones, Chairmm of the National Demo cratic Committee, giving Bryan 255 electoral votes, is the same in every par ticular as that of the Star printed last Tuesday. The Tones estimate was made last Saturday. There is not a single vi riation in States or figures. Mr. R. S. Murray, who lives in Masonboro Township, was in tbe city yesterday aitd requests , the Star to state that his name being 'on the Popu list ticket was unauthorized by him and that he is a straight out Democrat and never has done or will do ..anything to aid in the election of a Radical ticket. ; f ' COUNTY AFFAIRS.

The Vote For Governor Will Be Close, and Every Democrat 71 u st Do His Duty. Deeply impressed with the great Importance of tfieTresult of tbe elec tion to be held to-day, I take the liberty of appealing to every Demo crat who wishes to see Daniel L. Russell defeated to do bis full duty. At this late day I can hope to reach but few of our friends beyond the limits of Wilmington, and it is to these especially that I make this appeal. In this city there isTome little division among Democrats on National issues and candidites; but they are practically united in favor of Cyrus B. Watson for Governor of this great Commonwealth. It Is too late now to change any votes in this city, and I do not address you with any object In view except to impress on you the importance of polling every registered Democratic vote. ' " . All claims of a large plurality for either candidate for Governor may be set down as unworthy of serious consideration; and it may be accepted as an indisputable tact that the claim of Daniel L. Russell that he will be elected by an enormous plurality is bora of a well-founded apprehension that he will not be elected at all. In all seriousness, let me say to you, the man who Is elected Governor of North Carolina to-day will succeed by a comparatively small plurality. The registered Democratic vote in the State must be nearly 160,000, and of that number we should poll nearly 150,000 ktc-day. But it will not be necessary to poll so large a percentage as that in order to elect Cyrus B. Watson Governor. And this I shall attempt to prove by two estimates printed below: VOTE THIS TICKET. ESTIMATE NO. 1. Total vote Guthrie. Watson . Russell . , :300,000 i 20,000 280,000, .142,000 .138.C00 i " ESTIMATE NO. 2. Total vote.............. Guthrie.... .......... ... ........295,000 ......... 15,000 ' 280,000 Watson .................. .143,000 Russell ....... . 137,000 Watson's Plurality.......... 4,000 Watson's Plurality....;..... o.wu Those who know me are aware of tbe fact that in making political forecasts I always endeavor to be conservative. I base my conclusions on my judgmentnot on my prejudices; and I present the foregoing figures as fairly representative of the outlook to-day. . But we must take nothing for granted. We must poll every vote; and I would have every Democrat feel that his Individual vote may determine whether the next Governor of North Carolina shall be Cyrus B. Watson or Daniel L. Russell. With bard work and alul! Democratic vbte Watson nriti k. if th hallnt arc. hnnestlv counted to-nieht: and the State Executive Committee have made arrangements that ougt t to in Sure this, If they are properly carried out. I In conclusion, let me say to you that it is my candid opin ion that Cyrus B. Watson will be a elected by at least 4,000 plurality, if the Democrats of North Carolina do their whole duty. In accomplishing, this result they will be aided by thousands of Populists who, rather than throw away their votes by supporting Wm. A. Guthrie, will join the Democrats in their great fight for Honest Govern ment and White Supremacy. - w ; j - , 7 - The enormous sums of money sent into North Carolina by Mark Hanna to debauch the ballot may defeat us; but I have strong hope that even this potent factor will fr.il of ts d&ftr. ; . . . . .

Walker Taylor returned yester day from New York city, where be has been for the last two weeks with his father. Col. John D. Taylor, who has had a cataract removed from one of bis eyes at the Ear and Eye Hospital of New York. Col. Walker Taylor brings favorable' reports at to the election. He says he cornea home more convinced than ever that it is necessary that Bryan should be our next President. Mr. Sheehan, of Tammany, says that Bryan will carry New York citv by 80.000 majority, which will be met bv the majority above Har lem river; but both parties agree that the election of Bryan hinges on Illinois. Col. Taylor says that the gold men are desperate and if Br an is elected will do everything in their power to unseat him. Snehau t ays if Bryan is electedTammany will see that he is seated if they have to escort him to Washington. There is many a laboring man, be says, in New York, who is wearing a McKinley badge for form's sake, but is going to vote for Bryan, '-- t;.;. 'Tbe' Star is glad to know that the operation on CoL Jno. D. Taylor's eyes was successful, and that be will be at home again in about three weeks. DO YOU TAKE IT!

OPERA HOUSE. Wed- Kiss Emily fianokef in "Our Flat' Eeaday Bight. The engagement . of Miss Emily Bancker, America's distinguished ctm medlenne, at the Opera House to-morrow evening is destined to be tbe the atrical comedy event of the season. "Our Flat," the 1 creaming farce which this comiqae exquisite and her fine com pany of supporting (layers will present, is one of the most laughable comedies ever built by a playwright. The songs and travesties introduced are newtni original, the dialogue is crisp, breez and mirth-prcvoking, while many of the situations are revelations in ludicrc us- ness. Tno second act has been pro nounced by eminent critics one of the funniest ever conceived. ' The dresses worn this sesson by Emi--ly Bancker are marvels of elegance and good taste. Last season she received more laudatory notices for ber costumes than almost any other actress in Ameri ca. Conno'sseurs of the modistes art pronounce her one of the best dressed women on the American stage. Miss Bancker's first made her appear ance in this city as a star last season, and the local press gave her one of the finest criticisms ever accorded any actress who has visited Wilmington. The advance sale of seats will com mence this morning at Gerken's. If the white men of North Caro linadotheir duty to day Daniel L. Russell will never encumber the Gu bernatorial chair nor his cows graze in the Governor's Palace yard. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Reealn'a of Baval otoree ana Cottoa R. R.- It doesn't take long to get to the polls and vote, but it may take the State a long time to get over the effects of a vote cast for a party -whose policy, State and National, Is against North Carolina. ;- The citizen who believes in the money of the Constitution, gold and silver, without discrimination against either, and wants to have a man in Congress who will truly, ably and faithfully represent him; will vote for James A. Lockhart. With the educational advantages tfiat Hal Ayer has bad in this cam paign by close fellowship with the Republican - machine managers, and the use he has made of them, he should be able soon to graduate as a fall fledged Republican. ': : The Republican Committee in this State is counting pretty confidently on the ex-penitentiary vote for their ticket. If the election depended on the criminal vote outside of the pen itentiary and could get the. ballot boxes inside they would elect their ficket by a large majority. Gen. Weyler is a pretty lusty dagger, but Hanna can give him five points in the game and. beat him. While Weyler brags, Maceo is busting his trochas, and while Hanna' boasts cf victories, Bryan. is going right through his trochas and laying them flat. Baval Stores Yeaterday. .

" Last Sat urday Senator Marion Butler gave out an estimate for publication in the Wash ington Star, in whieh he claimed 258 electoral ' votes as sure for Bryan. Mr. Butler gave r Brian every State given him' by the Star and added the State of Delaware with three votes. In the Star's estimate Delaware was first olaced in the Bryan column, but was afterwards transferred to the Mc Kinley column in consequence of an ap prehension that the State is small and is so near the great money centres that Mark Hanna would boy it. - We mention tbls matter simply as a coincidence. - Bedaoed Betas on tbe S, A.

See that the name of Ralph Howland ap pears on the Bryan ticket as elector for the First district. Theo. F. White was first appointed elector for that district, but it was found that he was ineligible, and Ralph Howland was substituted. The Star called ' attention to this change. It Is said there are tickets in circulation now having on them White's name, Mr. Jas. Trollinger, of Ala mance county, was a visitor at the Star office yesterday. .. : - - RUSSELL ON LIQUOR DEALERS. WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THEM IN 1888 CALLED THEIR PLACES ' GROGSHOPS. Republicans bave just issued a circular intended to prejudice liquor dealers against Cvrus B. Watson, the Democratic candidate for Governor. This circular has been scattered all over the State. But how does Daniel L.'Russell stand on the liquor question.? r In a letter written in 1888, Daniel L. Russell said this : "Permit me to say that I think it would be wise for our State ticket to withdraw in favor of the Prohibition party. : In 1881 our vote was thrown TO SAVE THE GROG SHOPS. We saved them; but just what the party gained by it has been so difficult to discover that the best thinkers among our people who joined In that coalition now admit their "stake and regret that the party vote was not given to the TEMPERANCE PEOPLE. SUPPOSE WE TRY IT NOW and go in to sinse at DRUNKENNESS AND DEMOCRACY." WATCH . THE COUNT. A Matter of Vital Importance to the , ... ' . ... .' - Democratic Party It is of tbe utmost Importance that intellisrent 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: ; ;--- ;; "-y'v "That when the election shall be finished, tbe registrars and judges of election, in the presence of such can didates, or thdr 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 the result thereof declared." It will be seeo that, under the law, candidates, if they prefer to do so, may choose their "own representa tives to watch" tbe 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. WORSE THAN A FRAUD WATCH YOUR TICKET.' There never was a time in the history of this republic when there was so much fraud being practiced upon tne voiets as now; all that can't be bought they are trying to fool. The cowards, who wonld destroy our money ana liberties, are flooding this country with bogus tickets. Nearly every voter who is expected to vote for Bryan has re ceived one or more of i Jthese bogus tickets, and we ask every silver man not to be fooled by the work of these cowardly assassins of our liberty, for they well know the, demonetization 01 silver was by fraud and to keep it de monetized it will take just such frauds as those cowards are now practicing in send ing out these false tickets. There will be plenty ot tickets at tne pons 01 eacn voting place. - Look sharp, that no man is fooled on one of these dastardly fraudu lent tickets. B. F. Keith. On Cent Word.
