A WAIL OF DISTEES3.
There are two Hannas who are
figuring in the politics of this coun
tryMark, who is well known to
fame, and II. II., who is not so well
known. II. II. caHs himself a Dem-
ocvat, but he plays so obediently
into the hands of Mark that a good
many people suspect hitmof being a
mere puppet of the gentleman who
lias charge of Mr. McKihley's cam
paign. Four years ago H. II. Hanna
engineered the business for the so
called sound money Democrats, who
ran the Palmer and Buckner side
show. They didn't think' it advis
able to run that ide show this year,
because so many so-called sound
moneV Demor.rftta Iiata anna lianlr
into the party and are now support
ing Bryan and Stevenson that there
- wouldn't be enough of 'them to
make it worth while to call out the
band.
t: But Mr. H. H. Hanna hasn't en
tirely given up Hope, and thinks he
can play a little side show of his
own under the sound money tent.
He opens' the performance with a
grand scare a la Mark Hanna. Here
Is a sample of his first wild scream,
which we find in the Washington
which such insanity would suggest.
It reads thus:
"Executive Committee of the Indian
apolis Monetary Convention of the
Boards of Trade, Chambers of Com
merce, Commercial Clubs, ana Other
Similar Commercial Bodies of the
United States:
"Indianapolis, Sept. 22, 1900.
"Dear Sir: There is great danger that
the Bryanite silver advocates will, by
the November election, gain control of
the lower House of the Fifty seventh
Congress.
"If they gains Representatives from
eight districts aud keep what they now
have, they will be in the majority. -
"There is bu little doubt that they
will gain three in North Carolina.
They will probably gain one in Ken
tucky, two in Indiana, one in Mis
souri, and one in Texas.
"It will be very difficult for the
sound money people to prevent the
-Bryanites gaining the districts men
tioned, and it will be very difficult for
the sound money people to gain any
new districts.
"It is scarcely . possible for our
people, under present favorable con
ditions, to realiz9 that we are on the
verge of a calamity that will certainly
destroy the present commercial pros
perity. "If the Bryanites control the lower
House they will certainly express re
sentment of the gold standard by the
passage of a feee silver bill. The sen
ate would not confirm it, but the
simple fact that one House of Con
gress, so soon after the enactment of
the gold standard law, should consent
to take such a step would undo our
present splendid financial rating.
Creditors would lose faith in our sta
bility or continuity of purpose, and
commercial confidence would be
shaken to tremendous, untold loss.
Labor and capital would suffer several
years of inactivity and distress.
"With these statements accepted as
the plain truth, will any thoughtful
.man be willing to take any risk? Will
any thoughtful man rest content with
out effort in this campaign? What is
to be done t Every patriot who loves
bis country's good name, every citizen
who understands the vital necessity of
the employment of our people, must
' bend his back in another effort to re
sist the wrong with which the dema
gogue would burden us.
"In every Congressional district in
the country the friends of sound money
should put forth every possible honor
able effort to secure votes favorable to
candidates committed to sound money
laws. 1
"It is absolutely necessary to gain
some new districts and a struggle is
necessary to save many that are bow
represented by sound money mem
bers." "The sound money candidate in
youT district must be supported by all
possible co operation. , You can help
to save the neonle from the disaster
that threatens them by promoting thj
ejection of Hon. R. A. Wise.
. "Bring these these facts to the atten
tion of every man who is willing to
listen. Plead with every working
mau to arouse himself in his own de
fence. "Organize the business men in your
district to battle against foolish falla
cies. Every victory for right weakens
power for evil.
Can we depend upon you? If so
send us the names of ten important
men in your town or county who 'are.
wavering and whom you believe we
could influence by personal letters, and
obi ige, faithfully yours."
n. H. Hanna, Chairman.
This wail was addressed to some
one in Norfolk, "Va., and is presum
ably a sample of the kind that are
being Bent to all the close dis
tricts in the country, where there
is any hope of defeating the regular
Democratic nominee for Congress.
We have no doubt that some of them
have been sent into North Carolina
diatricta where the Republicans will
agree to support a "McKinley" or
"Sound Money" Democrat. It will
be remembered that when the State
VOL! XXXI.
Republican Committee metin Ra
leigh some time ago one of the sub
jects that was considered and dis
cussed was yielding precedence to
"business men" who might put
themselves up as candidates for Con
gress. This meant that in districts
where the Republicans did not
feel confident of being--ble
to elect their own candidates they
would pool issues and vote for
Democrats (business men), who
would kick out of the traces and run
on their-own account. Statesman
Pritchard was in that scheme and
favored it. He thought it would be
a cute device to split the Democrats,
1 i. " 1 .1 , m -
ihj we naven c yet neara or any
"business men" who have bit at the
bait or walked,into Pritchard's trap.
That kind of "business men" seem
to be somewhat scarce in North
Carolina. They haven't yet been
able to get enough of them together
to fulminate that threatened ad
dress, talked about some time ago.
PerhapsAfter surveying the field
they have come to the conclusion
that there is no show to elect any
McKinley Democrats in this State,
and have so reported to Mr. H. H.
Hanna, who in this wail to the Nor
folk man informs him that there is
little doubt that the Democrats will
gain three Congressmen in North
Carolina.
The ouly way this distressed Mr.
Hanna can help the other Mr. Hanna,
will be to splice with the Republi
cans in the doubtful districts, but it
is doubtful if he has influence
enough now to be of any material
assistance to Mark. He's intentions,
however, are to do his best and Mark'
ought to appreciate that. If putting
up piercing wails of distress were evi
dence oi aouicy as a political man
ager Mark Hanna couldn't hold a
candle to H. H, who in this epistle
easily eclipses Mark's most frantic
attempts in that line. But he over
does the business on the assumption
that the people to whom he appeals
haven't an average amount of com
mon sense, and hence his epistolary
wails wails will hardly pay for the
labor of fabricating them and for
the stationery and postage stamps
used.
ROOSEVELT CONDEMNS HIM
SELF. Candidate Roosevelt in his West
ern speeches has devoted consider
able attention to the New York Ice
Trust, as if it were a Democratic in
stitution, whereas every director in
it is said to be a Republican, it so
happen! that Mayor VanWyck, of
New York, is owner of a big block
of stock in it, which, it is charged
he obtained in a questionable way,
and it is said that Richard Croker is
a large owner of stock, but he denies
that. Roosevelt said in one of his
speeches in Colorado that reading a
list of the stockholders in that Trust
was like reading the roll of Tamma
ny. He knew that was false when he
said it. But one thing notice
able in this business, (if the
Ice Trust is the Democratic
institution that Roosevelt - rep
resents it to be) is that the .first ex
posures of its methods, and con
demnation of its extortions were by
two leading Democratic papers of
New York, the Journal and the
World. Both of these papers have
fought it relentlessly from the be-
pinninc. and have done more to- ex-
o
pose its inward workings, its extor
tions uDon the public, and to hold
it up to condemnation than all the
Republican politicians and organs
combined.
Roosevelt and his organs are now
trying to make a national issue out
of this Trnst, and to hold the Demo
cratic nartv reanonsiblo for it. But
A- j A -
while these New York papers which
we have named were fighting it
and putting its managers in the
pillory, what did Roosevelt do to
remedy the evil and relieve the
people from its extortions? He was
called upon bv these democratic
papers, which we have named, to re
move Mayor Van Wyck, because,
as they charged, he secured
his stock in the that Trust,
in violation of a State law. He was
is Governor of New York.
f that Trust was in violation of the
Sfafa law aa nriATorad. be bad the

o .
made a movement in that direction,
which may, doubtless, be accounted
for by the fact, as alleged, that all
the directors in it are Republicans,
and presumbably friends of Roose
velt. And yet he has the gall to be
holding that Trust np to condemna
tion as a Democratic institution, ap
parently oblivious of the fact that

The report that the owners of the
Pennsylvania coal mines and the
striking miners have reached an
agreement which will put an end to
the strike is good news, for it means
not only the saving of the families
of the strikers irom much privation

dustrial disturbance if the strike,
had been protracted and became a
sympathetic one. ,
The agreement was reached be
cause the mine operators consented
to an advance of . ten per cent, in
the wages of the miners, which
they had stubbornly refused to grant
when the miners asked for an increase
although strenuous efforts were
made by prominent gentlemen, rep
resentatives of various religious de
nominations, to effect a settlement.
The mine operators were then obsti
nate and arrogant and flatly refused
to make any concessions. We were
informed several days ago that Mark
Hanna, who was fearful of the po
litical effect of the strike, visited
New York and had an interview
with John P. Morgan, one of the
large capitalists interested in the
mines, and besought him to use his
influence with the mine operators to
come to some agreement that would
stop the Btrike.
The result was, as reported, an
increase in the wages of the miners,
for which the miners and the coun
try are more indebted to political
emergencies than to the benevolence
or sense of justice of Mark Hanna
or the mine operators who are po
litically pulling with him. Political
necessity made Hanna hump him
self and brought the mine operators
to time.
PREDICTS BRYAN'S ELECTION.
A Travelling Man and Former "Republican
Tells of the Revolution in Sentiment
and Drift to Bryan.
Washington special to the Richmond Dispatch.
Washington, D. C, September 25.
Mr. M. J. Lamson, representative of
the largest gas and electric fixture
companies in tne unitea states, ana
whose territory extends north to To
ronto, south to Richmond, and west to
Chicago, is firm in the belief that
Bryan will be elected. In speaking of
the situation yesterday Mr. Lamson
said:
Ever since I reached my majority I
have voted nothing but the Republican
ticket, but during the past four years I
have become so dissatisfied with the
present administration that I have de
termined not only to vote for Bryan,
but to use every means in my power
to secure his election. I have recently
been in all sections of the Middle
West, and find the sentiment most fa
vorable to the success of Democracy.
"In Chicaee Mr. Bryan will carry
the citv bv a majority that will astonish
the country. To give you an idea of
the sentiment that prevails, i went
into one of the largest wholesale
houses in Chicaeo. and as I am in this
fight in earnest, took a poll of the
salesman employed there. Out of
thirty-two men, twenty-six signified
their intention of voting for Bryan,
three were non-committal, and three
were for McKinley. To ascertain just
what change bad taken place in favor
ofBrvan. I then took a poll of how
many of those same men had support
ed him in leao. i louna, to my reai
astonisnment. that only eight had
voted for the Nebraskan, while tne
renainderhad cast their ballots for
McKinlev.
"I then talked witn tnese men as to
the feelincr exiatinsr throughout their
respective territories. Severalof them
had taken polls of their customers,
and had found that the feeling was
strongly in favor of Bryan, and that
many former KepuDiicans are going
to support mm. unu oi mcao uicu,
whose name I am not at liberty to use.
but who travels through the State of
Illinois, told me that he believes Bry
an will carrv that State by at least a
hundred tnousana maiority.
'After leaving Chicago I went to
Peoria, and there found the same con
ditions existing among mercantile
men as m the metrODOlis of the State.
Of course it may sound foolish to talk
of carrvinsr Ohio, but it would not
surprise me to see McKinley beaten
in his own State. My business car
iHea me a creat deal among lactones,
and in three instance in Cleveland I
made a noil of factory employes, and
found that Bryan is tne almost unani-
m j .
mous cnoice oi tne worsingmen, a
large number of whom supported Mr,
McKinlev in 1896.
"Few people can appreciate" the in
fluence that 'Golden-Rule' Jones is
trrnntr to throw to Bryan. He is a
man of wonderful popularity, and all
of those who supported him for Gov
ernor last year will follow his lead at
this election. The rural aisiricis oi
Ohio can be depended on to support
Bryjn. .od with. hjrkgM;
the State will surely swing into the

The result showed that

to vote ror Bryan, ui muse

"It has been my experience in past
elections that travelling men can come
nearer to judging the public pulse than
any other class of citizens, and on the
trains and in hotel lobbies a majority
of them tell me that Bryan is a cincn.
Nearly all of the commercial travel
lers are betting on Bryan, and some of
them are not over particular as to
odds." '

Clinton, N. C, September 28.
Archie Kinsauls paid the severest de
mand of the law here to-day for the
murder of John Herring. He died
from straagulation after being twice
dropped from the gallows. He ap
peared perfectly composed and easily
walked from his cell and up the gal
lows steps.. He was given an oppor
tunity to talk, but said nothing fur
ther than that he wanted all his friends
and enemies to meet him in heaven.
Then he bowed for a few minutes in
silent prayer with the minister! pres
ent. The drop fell the first time at nine
minutes to one, and after hanging for
nine minutes the attending physi
cians requested the sheriff to place
him on the gallows and drop him
again, that his life might be more
quickly ended or otherwise he might
remain in this struggling condition
for some little time. The noose had
slipped to his chin when the trap fell
tearing opening the wounds which he
made when he attempted his own life
on the 14th of September, severing the
arteries and the blood flowing pro
fusely. He was placed on the gallows
the second time at one o'clock, by
swinging him on the trap-door and
raising him up, springing the trigger
immediately. Life was then pro
nounced extinct in eight minutes.
The Sampson Light Infantry was on
the scene as a guard under orders.
The body was sent out to the home
of his father in Honey cutt's
township, for interment. The min
isters present held short divine service
just before the execution by reading
scripture and prayer. Perfect order
prevailed throughout.
Another Execution at Taiboro.

the city by members of his family yes
terday. His death was very sudden

Raleigh, N. C, September 27. A
true bill was to-day found by the
grand jury of Wake Superior Court
against State Senator J. A. Franks,
Republican, of Swain county, charg
ing him with perjury. During the
Legislature of 1899 a young lawyer
from the west, George Justice, was
arrested here for stealing law books
from the clerk of the court He was
bound over in a bond of $50. Franks
stood his bond, swearing that he was
worth $50 over and above his home
stead liabilities and exemption. Jus
tice ran away and an attempt was
made to collect the amount of the
bond from Franks, when it was found
that he had no property. He has
never made any attempt to satisfy the
claim.

THE N. C. STATE FAIR.
Mr. J. E. Pogne. the Enterprising Secre
tary, is Here for Conference as to
Railroad Rates.
Mr. J. EL Pogue, secretary of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society
and of the State Fair, arrived in the
city yesterday for a conference with
the Atlantic Coast Line authorities
relative to rates for North Carolina's
annual exposition at Raleigh, October
22nd-27th. Mr. Pogue is .thoroughly
enthusiastic over the prospects lor a
successful eent, and says his confer
ence with the railroad people here was
perfectly satisfactory. Though no defi
nite arrangement can be announced,
Mr. Pogue says it may be depended
upon that the Atlantic Coast Line will
give an equitable rate and one in keep
ing with its spirit of progressive ness in
this particular in the past.
Speaking of the-Fair, Mr. Pogue
says that the outlook is better than in
any previous year. It will be a six
day's eyent, whereas heretofore only
lye days has ben devoted to it. The
attractions will be varied and of a
high order. The Vanderbilt exhibit
of products and stock from his Bilt
more estate at Asheville will be larger
than ever before. None of this exhibit
will, however, enter into the competi
tion for premiums for the reason that
Mr. Chaa. McNamee, president of the
State Agricultural Society, is manager
ofthis feature of the Biltmore estate.
Mr. Pogue is a "State Fair enthu
siast" and the great interest manifested
this year coupled with bis experience
during a preceding term as secretary
of the Fair, ensures for the occasion
the success it richly merits.

bly installed in the mammoth new
store recently built for the proprietor
on North Front street opposite the Sea

lord and his corps of salesmen and
salesladies, numbering about twenty
five, were "at home" to customers for
the first time yesterday and those who
had occasion rto visit "the biggest store
in Wilmington and in the State'1 were
pleased to note the cheerful and busi
nesslike appearance - of the entire
establishment.
Mr. Gaylord's idea, cherished for a
number of years, of a building whieh
would permit the carrying of a busi
ness such as his, seems to have found
a realization in the new store, which
is of brick with pressed brick
front and elegant red stone trimmings.
It has practically four floors and was
erected at a cost of more than $15,000.
In a basement 20x30 feet are the elec
tric plant for the elevator and the coal
cellar. The first floor is 50x125 feet in
size and will be occupied by the retail
department The second floor of equal
size is devoted to the millinery depart
ment under the careful direction of
Miss Alma Brown, who has just re
turned from a northern trip, where she
has been studying latest styles and
fancies in the art The third floor is
given over to the wholesale stock in
original packages. It is also used for
trunks, mattings, carpets and other
goods of this character. 1
The fourth floor is 60x50 feet and is
used as a wareroom.
Mr. Gaylord is to be congratulated
upon his good fortune in securing such
a handsome stand for his already large
and growing mercantile business.
