For Vice-President: ADLAI E. STEYEKSQN. of Illinois. WHY WEELDTGTOH DESERTED M'KTSLEY. Senator Wellington, Republican, of Maryland, is opposed to the re election of McKinley and gives the following reasons for his opposition: "I am unalterably opposed to the reelection of President McKinley Bryan is a better man in every way than McKinley, and I regard his elec tion as essential to the preservation of the Republic "I regard the Philadelphia platform as a erave departure from the faith of our fathers, it is not tne Kepuoiican ism of Lincoln, but an endorsement of the inimical policies foisted upon the country by McKinley. "I am anti imperialist. I do not talk one way in Congress and an other way on the outside, nor do I talk one way and act another. I am not like old Hoar able to appeal to the past and the future, and then stultify myself. I see only the pres ent. Tha najrt in cnnn and tha fntnre can take care for itself; but I'll help take care of the present "I am convinced there is a secret alliance with England beyond any doubt You remember the cry that was raised against Cleveland of sub serviency to England. There was not one-quarter the ground for it that there is for the same cry against Mc Kinley. He would not dare do a thing that would be unacceptable to Eng land, for he is nothing more than an English proconsul. "President McKinley has betrayed me. I was opposed to the Paris Peace Treaty and would never have voted for its ratification of my own volition. I told the President so, and he induced me to vote for it by solemnly pledging me that it was not the intention of himsel or the Government to forcibly hold or permanently acquire the Philippines. "He further said that his personal desire was to restore law and order in the islands and then submit the matter to Congress, with the idea of having it grant absolute freedon and self-government to the Filipinos. With that pledge from President McKinley I voted for the treaty. Without it I never should have done so. "The resolution I offered' in the Senate, and which was the basis of my speech on the Philippine question, pro vided for exactly what the President himself told ire he desired to bring about "Bryan is absolutely right on the great issue involved in this campaign, and, with the money question at rest for four years, he is a bigger, a better and a safer man than McKinley. Even if the money question were not settled, Bryan is a man of too much sense to undertake to tamper with the curren cy, Bryan is certain to be our next President and I shall be glad to see him elected. "McKinley is totally unfit for the office of President, because he is so weak and vacillating that he can't stick to an opinion over night If he could know his own mind and be con sistent for twenty-four hours at a time he ming do, but such a thing is im possible with him, and for that reason he if unfit to be President" This, is a vigorous arraignment and it ia a true bilL It is true on the several counts, outside of the charge that Wellington was betrayed by McKinley in voting for the Paris treaty. That rests on the veracity of the Senator, and is doubtless true for there Is corroborating testi mony in Mr. McKinley's record on that question. Every one who has read Mr. McKinley's utterances as the Spanish war progressed and at its close knows how he changed front, contradicted and stultified himselfjTiow he permitted himself to be influenced to do one day what he had declared the day before should not be done. He admitted that when the Peace Commission was sent to Paris there was no intention of asking for anything more than a base of supplies at Ma nila, or in some other good harbor. The thought of gobbling up the archipelago never entered his head nor the heads of his advisers until after the commission arrived at Paris. It was an afterthought which they have tried to defend on the ground that this Government had put itself in such a position that securing . possession . of the whole group was a necessity and having se cured possession of the group, they try to justify war on the people of the islands on the ground that this government by assuming sovereignty over the Philippines assumed obli gations which made it imperative to assert its supremacy at the muzzle of the gun, if that supremacy was contested. i ; Mr. McKinley and others speak ing for hiff administration have vir tually admitted that if they antici pated the change of events that has followed the making of that treaty it would never have 'contained that disreputable and dishonorable pur chase clause.. Judge Day, of Ohio, rresident of the commission, says the purchase clause"! was practically forced upon the commission, ana the only reason why they assented to it was their 'desire to close up and end the war at once, to avert oossible complications and contm gencies, as if he expected there might possibly be interference by some other governments if the war was protracted -and thus involve this country with some other power or Dowers. That was his statement given over a year ago, something in the nature of an apology for tnat shameful bargain. , f But Senator Wellington was not the only Senator betrayed. All the Senators who opposed the ratihca tion of that treaty; and afterwards voted for it were betrayed, if not directly by the President, by those who spoke for the administration some of whom were in the confi dence of the President. : They were implored to yield their opposition to vote for the treaty and let it go through that we might close up the business with Spain and have an end to the war, after which a resolution might be passed declaring the pur poses of this Government, to assure the people of the Philippines that we had no grabbing designs on their country, but that j we intended to deal with them as we had dealt with the Cubans, to be their friends, help them on the way to self-government and when they get started let them manage their own affairs. That's what they said they would do, but they didn't do it. They broke faith with the Senators, and passed a resolution with a string to it which made this Government the judge as to when it should withdraw its forces from the islands, if ever. The fact is, the whole course pur sued since'the destruction of Monte- jo's fleet has been one of treachery and dishonor, and not only Senator Wellington, but all the Senators who were induced to jield their op position and vote for that treaty, the people of the United States and the people of the Philippines were be trayed. It was a monstrous, un paralleled betrayal. CAffHOT BE VIOLATED WITH ' DtPTJHTTY. There has been, for a year or more a fearful famine in India, affecting to a greater or less extent an area of country containing about 50,000,000 of people. There - are periodical famines in that country in which thousands die of starvation and dis ease, the result of starvation, and thousands more are saved from death by food sent to them from other sec tions of that country and from other countries. And so China, suffers from these periodic famines, all the result of droughts or inundations of the great rivers which submerge large areas of country and destroy crops. Eusaia also suffers from droughts, and so does Egypt, and so to a greater or less extent do many conn tries, including our own. " We have written much on forest denudation andthe necessity of car ing for our forests, but - there is so much to the point in the following, which we find in an exchange, that we reproduce it: "A writer in the New York Tribune, in rl Kffi-n er th fimiim in Tnrlia aaVa and answers these significant ques tions: 'What causes the famine? Drought And what causes the drought) The answer is in the dry ness of the treeless plains and in the abundant-moisture of the forests and jungles.' He then goes on to say that the bewildering increase of popula tion under British rule in India has increased proportionately the demand tor araDie iana, ana to supply mat ae mand fnrpt and -inner 1a h Haa-n swept away by thousands of square miles. As a result come drought and famine. ! , "Another lesson he enmea- f mm Egypt He declares that the Nile is drying up.

He points out also that once Persia was the' most fertile land of Asia, well watered and richly wooded, and that the Sahara was the granary of Africa and Europe, but to-day they are barren sands.

TowneV who was nominated for Vice President by the Populist convention at Sioux Falls, in;May, has declined the nom ination. In an eloquent letter to the committee he gives his reasons, for so doing. After citing the fact that his name was presented in the Democratic convention at Kansas City, where it received a very flat tering support, but where for what seem to him' good and sufficient reasons it was deemed best to nomi nate another, he says: "When Mr. 'Stevenson had been nominated, what was it my duty to doj My name had gone before the conven tion along with his and I had been beaten. The nomination had been made decislv ely and with absolute fair ness. Tne canoiaaie cnosen was per sonally unexceptional, his loyalty to our principles was beyond question and bis career had been a long exem plification of them. Manifestly it was my duty to support that nomination.' Acting upon this conviction, I went before the Silver Republican Conven tion and succeeded in persuading it to not nominate me, and the Vice Presidential question was. finally re ferred to the Silver Republican Na tional Committee with full powers. Later in the night this committee placed the name of Mr. Stevenson on its ticket as candidate for Vice Presi dent "This recital clearly develops the situation as it now is. Everybody knows that either Mr. Stevenson or Mr. Roosevelt is to be the next Vice President of the United States. I am expected to take a laborious part in the campaign. I shall, of course, advo cate the election of Bryan and Steven son. The Democratic convention, be fore which I was a candidate, nomi nated Bryan and Stevenson. The Sil ver Republican party, of which or ganization I was the official head for nearly four years, has nominated Bry an and Stevenson. In what light should I appear before the American people if, while advocating the elec tion of one ticket I should be going through the ferm Of running' on an othert Nobody in the United States would think I had the slighest chance ofbaing elected, and nobody would believe that I considered myself seri ously as a candidate unless at the same time he believed me to be abso lutely lacking in common sense. Whom could such a phantom candi dacy deceive? What respect should I deserve, indeed, if in such a matter I should attempt to deceive anybody whatsoever? I know the People's party to be composed of men most exceptionally keen and ex pert in political judgment So' ob vious a sham could not elude their vision. Either tney wouia resent my implied uncomplimentary estimate of them or they would be justified in terminer nnA of me. which could re suit oniy in injuring the cause which it haH hAn thA nrofeaaed obiect of my mistaken folly to advance. Con sistency and candor in politics there fore, my own self-respect, a proper riAfArAnrA tn the PaotiIa rjartv and a sincere regard for the welfare of the cause of political reform in the United States, all counsel that I now respect- fnllv mnli in vmip hands thn hrtnnr. able trust which your great party com- mittea to me in contempiauon oi a different complexion of affairs than that which has resulted." This is the language of a man who is more anxious for the success of the principles he advocates and the cause he has at heart, than for a little cheap distinction, in leading a forlion band. What action the committee will take, whether it will put up some other dummy in place of Mr. Towne, is not yet determined, but if they decide to put up a dum my perhaps Marion Butler, who has played out in this section, might feel flattered by the distinction (?) CHEERED ALL ALONG THE LINE The journey of Wm. J. Bryan from his home in Nebraska to In dianapolis, Ind., where the notifica tion ceremonies took place, Wednes day, was a series of ovations, thou sands of enthusiastic people greet ing him at every town and station along the line, culminating in a grand reception at Indianapolis, where thousands of Democrats from other cities and other States as sembled to honor him and his asso ciate on the ticket, Adlai E. Ste venson, of Illinois. This might be called the opening of the campaign, and it opens au spiciously if there be any significance in popular demonstrations, or in popular enthusiasm. The name of Bryan is even more talis manic now than it was four years ago, when he electrified the country, and aroused an enthusiasm never before witnessed in a campaign in this country; but then he appeal ed to and had the following of Dem ocrats and free silver men, while now he appeals to and has the following of patriots, regardless of past polit ical affiliations. As an illustration of this there was a meeting of anti-Imperialists held in Boston, Tuesday, where the principal speech was delivered by ex-Governor and ex-Senator Bout well, who advocated the overthrow of the Republican party because it had betrayed and deserted its prin ciples. Among the ringing resolu tions adopted was the following: "We believe that free silver is less serious than free slaughter; we depre cate the appeal to the pocket at home ana to tne cannon abroad ; the doctrine ma Americans can be made rich by taxation and Filipinos righteous by force, and the practice of assimilation of lower races in Asia and the malevo lent dissipation of higher ideas in A m a4a 9 . n asjs. av mm This is tantamount to a declara tion for Bryan and voices the senti ments of thousands of anti-Imperialist Republicans throughout the country.

Maxton Scottish Chief: Mr. John Leach Of 'Scotland county, had the misfortune to lose his saw mill and gin by fire , Tuesday. The fire was accidental and caught from the engine while all were away at dinner. The iocs is estimated at $3,000 with no in surance. . - .. Concord Tribune: A tenant house on Mr. Paul Stallings's place was fired Sunday night and partially destroyed. The house was occupied by a negro named . Will Henderson. Fortunately the fire was discovered and the occupants were saved. ' A uegro Dick Morris stands charged with having fired the house. Lumber ton Argtis: The crops of the vicinity of Buie, once so prom ising, are seriously damaged by drought. , There has been only one rain since July 5th. The water mills have ceased to grind, wells and pumps are failing, gardens are parching, cot ton is shedding, and coin is cut short one third. Everything is in sad need of raiD. Raleigh News and Observer: Silas Seagraves, a white man, is in jail in Durham upon the charge of at tempting to poison his wife. He was arrested Monday night Cleve Donaldson, a white boy about seven teen years of age, has been arrested for robbing the Catholic church in Char lotte. At the trial to-day Donaldson was placed under bonds amounting to $175 in all. Besides stealing a valua ble communion cup from the church Donaldson was found guilty of steal ing a pair of eye-glasses from D. K. Pope, Esq., and a pair of pants from the Piedmont Pants Company. Mitchell Mirror: Saturday evening, while reaping oats in his field near Magnette City,- Mitchell Byrd was shot through and through from ambush, the ball taking effect in the left side and coming out at the right side. The shot produced paraly sis of the lower limbs. After being shot Mr. Byrd was taken to his home near by and lived until Sunday after noon. He was conscience until be died, being able to talk ail of the time. It will perhaps never be known who Mitchell Bird's assassin was although it is believed to be a son of Thomas Butler, whom Mr. Byrd killed about three years ago, but this may be doubt ful, as he had many enemies in that section. Greensboro Record: It is pas sing strange how many people are poisoned by ice cream. Almost any day yon can pick up a newspaper and see where numbers of people have been made sick and occasionaiy death occurs as a result of cream parties. An accident occurred in Greensboro Sunday nieht among the boarders at Mrs. Ellis', corner East Gaston and North Davie streets. Mrs. Ellis runs a very popular boarding house and has a large number of boarders. On Sun day night they had cream and as a re sult about twenty af them were - very sick yesterday and last night some of them violently so. They and all im proved and no serious results are feared. Messrs. L. C. Howlett and Everitt King were were among those weo suffered most CURRENT COMMENT. Possibly in the course of time the laboring classes of the North, who are now deluded with the fad. that a protective . tariff en ables the manufacturing ba rons to pay higher wages to their slaves, will come to realize that protection is a mere blind for spoliation of themselves and their familes. Neio Orleans States, Dem. The promise of Senator Lodge that the war in the Philip pine will be continued until after the Presidential election is being more faithfully kept than are some other Republican pledges. While this is not the fighting season, the insurgents are active enough to war rant the postponement of any change in the attitude of the Government towards the islanders. It is gratify ing to note, however, that from their contact with Americans the fight ing Filipinos have acquired civilized ideas about the treatment of prison ers. Philadelphia Record, Dem. The republican newspapers are urging a reduction of Southern representation, not because they be lieve these elections law are unjust, but because of a partisan desire ' to curtail democratic influence and to put and an open insult upon the good people of the south, who are about to take the management of their own affairs into their own hands. We do not believe the public sentiment of the nation will sanction such an unholy movement; and we believe that if the republi can party should undertake to make this question an issue in the con gressional contest the people will return an overwhelming democratic majority.

The market for cotton futures was not active sp far as opening new accounts was con cerned, but a very considerable busi ness was done, in the way of 'winding up old oces. This was largely due to the fact that opinions regarding the character of the government crop re port to morrow have been a good deal mixed and prudence led many of the traders to close their . contracts. In this way the market was active. The South, however, .'continued to be a pretty heavy seller and crop accounts from private sources were generally bearish, although - later in the session views were disturbed by reports of hot winds in Arkansas, excessive rains in Texas, and 1 drouth in the Atlantic State. After .opening steady at an ad vance of eight points to a decline of one point, following fairly favorable laverpool cables and some foreicn support, the market gave way under local pressure supplemented by South ern selling orders which were quite generous throughout the session. The opening advance was lost before noon. Again the market ' became firmer ; prices advanced nine to eleven points from the lowest on a very active de mand from the short interest. Still later prices broke eight to . twelve points. Throughout the session a nervt ous feeling prevailed. The market was finally barely steady, with Auerust twenty points higher and other months three to four points 1 ower. New York Aug. 9.
