2 WILL IT BE ft WINNER A NEW HORSE THAT MAY HE BROUGHT UPON THE POLIT ICAL RACE-TRACK. SIBLEY PROPOSES A NEW PARTY. He Believes That John Sherman and President Cleveland Will Vote To gether Next Time, and He Wants Silver Men to Come Together Along New Lines—Does He See in This a Path to the White House?—Will Butler Shine in the New Party ? Special to the News ami Observer. Cauy, N. 0., Aug., 16. Congressman John C. Sibley, of Penn sylvania, is an unique figure in Ameri can politics. He is mi generis and about the only one of his tribe. He is a mil libnaire several times over and a man of vast business interests. And yet he devotes much of his time to discussing the questions that move the people. He is popular among the masses, too. When he ran for Congress it was after being petitioned by the voters of an ad joining district and he is said to be the only man ever elected to Congress from a disttict in which he did not reside. He gives all his employes a short yearly va cation, and has never had a strike among all the men who work for him. He says he has never taken interest for money loaned and has never owned a bond. He was once a Republican, has been for a number of years a Democrat, and now announces that he will follow the man of any party who will lead him to the Mecca of free silver. He was resting easily in his room when 1 called on him. Senator Marion Butler was lying on the bed, Dr. Cyrus Thomp uou «r.d several other AHiancemen were seated around the room! Mr. Sibley talks to the point and shoots straight from tha shoulder. Whatever he means, he says on the spot. They were diseussing silver. “Do you think either one of the prin cipal parties in this country can be trusted to restore silver to free coinage?” I asked him. “I am afraid that while the disposition would be good,” was the prompt reply, “and while the rank and file of both par ties are honest aud sincere in their in tentions regarding silver, the party ma chinery is so completely in control of the politicians and coporations that the hon est intentions will not be carried out.” “Which one of these parties do you re gard as most favorable to silver?” “The Republican party is more com pletely under the domination cf the gold element. Ii is largely a question of lo cality. The Republicans of the West, and the Democrats of the South are for free silver. Both Democrats and Repub licans in the large cities of the East, in the marts of commerce, are for gold, and they are not going to be confused and thwarted to party lines. My individual judgment is that Grover Cleveland and John Sherman will vote the same ticket in 1896. Secretary Morton indicates this in his letter in which he plainly declares that the time tor straddlers is past and ali those who favor the gold standard must stand together. Maj. McKinley, who has been the representative of the idea of a high protective tariff and is the High Priest in the High Tariff Temple, and Secretary Carlisle, a pronounced free trader who has been trying to de stroy that temple will, I think, both vote the same ticket in 1896, rather than see bi-metallism restored.” “Do you think the formation of a new party with free silver as it 3 basis is probable ?” •*My judgment is that the rank and file of all parties are loyal, patriotic citi zens with a mutuality of interests, and that as the time for decision arrives they will see the hopelessness of depending od politicians, and will come together to redress this wrong.” “So you think an independent silver party will be formed ?” “Not necessarily a new party align ment. The voters may not care to sur render the party affiliations of a life time. But they will hold those princi ples in abeyance and agree upon the parties for whom their votes shall be cast, or by a mass convention of all par ties determine whom we will support.” “That’s about the size of it,” put in Senator Butler. “Aud that candidate,” continued the gentleman from Pennsylvania, “I don’t care whether he is an ex-Confederate or wore the blue, whether he is from Maine or Texas, Minnesota or California, or what party label he has worn, he is my man.” “How do you r< gard the last Con gress?” “When the Congress has been un trammeled and not dictated to by fed eral power and not influenced by the enormous patronage of the government, we have always had a clear majority for the free and unlimited coinage of silver; supreme necessity is a President who fa vors this reform.” Senator Butler interjected: “If we had a President of any party who was an honest man, a patriot, an American, and who had the interest of this country at heart in the White House, the last Congress would have given the country substantially the financial relief de manded.” “Is fn.e silver sentiment on the in fueaae in Pennsylvania?” I asked Mr. Sibley. “Let me tell you,” he said, “if this question were left to the people of Penn sylvania to vote upon directly, divested of all other issues, it would carry the S’ate by more than 200,000 majority. This country is plastered with mortgages upon the homes aud farms of the peo ple, but tenfold worse are the m >rtgiges upon the brains of the people.” The Rtleigh bound train blew and the Congressman and the Senator picked up their grips aid walked quickly away to the station. Does Mr. Sibley see in this new party a path to the White House ? Will Mr. Butler be a shining light in this new non-partisan political party ? Will “sixteen to one” ride into the mints on this new horse whose head and body and tail are all of different colors. John Wilber Jenkins NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. The Farmers ol the State were Opposed to Its Release at This Time. [From Proceedings of North Carolina Farm ers’ State Alliance at Cary, N. C., August 14, 1895.] Whereas, There are reasons to bdfieve that the directors of the North Carolina Railroad are seriously considering the advisability of leasing the said road for a long period of time; and whereas, in the opinion of this body, no greater ca lamity could befall our beloved State than to put this, with one exception, the only railroad of any importance remain ing in the hands of its original stock holders, under the control of a foreign corporation; and whereas, there yet re main six years before the expiration of the present lease, giving ample time for the submission of this great (jnestion to the people of Nojth Carolina for their decision at the ballot box, Now be it resolved, by the North Car olina Farmers’ State Alliance, assembled at Cary, that we protest against any lease of this road, before the submission to the people of North Carolina, as un wise, inexpedient, and an outrage upon the rights of freemen. Resolved 2nd. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Governor of North Carolina and to the president of the North Carolina Railroad, both of whom were formerly the honored heads of this order, and to the Hon. Chas. D. Mclver, State proxy for North Carolina, and who holds in trust for the whole peo ple of North Carolina a majority of the stock of said road. Resolved 3rd. That the thanks of this order are hereby tendered to the Pro gressive Farmer, News and Observer, and the other newspapers within our State, who are opposing this lease, and that they be requested to publish these resolutions.

The impression is that a i lease has been agreed upon. Who will j be the “Blow Your Horn Billie” in this i deal f” Jno. Robinson. BASEBALL AT LOUISBURG. Tobacco Sales are Very Good and Prices are Well up. Special to the News and Observer. Louisbcrg, N. C., Aug. 16. Yesterday was a baseball day in this place. In the morniDg the Louisburg club played the Wake Forest club, win ning by a score of 7 to 5, and in the af ternoon they played the Henderson club and won by a score of 18 to 5. The bat tery work of Webb and Jackson for Lou isburg in both games was very fine. Clifton’s two and Webb’s one home run for Louisburg in the Henderson game were especially notable. Tobacco sales to-day were very good, prices were well up and the tobacco very colory. Tobacco is ripening very fast in the fields and the farmers are using every available barn for curing. KINSTON’S TOBACCO MARKET. The Little City Taking on New Life as it Rises trom its Ashes. Special to the News and Observer. Kinston, N. C., Aug. 16. Everybody in Kinston is talking to bacco. The new warehouse here was opened yesterday and every pile on the floor brought a good price, the farmers declaring themselves perfectly satisfied. As much will probably be sold both to day and to morrow as there was yester day. The warehouse is managed by Mr. L. B. Tapp, of Roxboro, assisted by Messrs. G. W. Thomas and R I. Featherstone. Buyers, to the number of some fifteen or twenty, are here from this State and Virginia.’ I learn that within a radius of ten miles around Kinston there are over 1,060 acres in cultivation in to-; bacco, and the indications are that this acreage will be doubled or trebled this year. This makes Kinston a fine loca tion for a good tobacco market, and to baeco men here expect to draw a large trade from the surrounding counties. Notwithstanding the atunerous fires Kinston has been so unfortunate as to have this year, quite a number of new and handsome brick stores are already about eomp'eted and others are in course of erection on the burnt district. The town will rise up from its ashes hand somer and brighter than it ever was be fore the fire fiends did their devilish work. Many residences have also been built and others are being erected. The Hotel Tull will be rebuilt and ready to accommodate the traveling public about the loth of November. H. B. H. Uses Mexican Mustang Liniment On his horses, on his drivers. The News and Observer, Saturday, Aug. 17, ’95. PICNIC AT SCOTLAND NECK. The Masons and Odd Follows of Hali fax County Take a Hay Off. Special to the News and Observer. Scotland Neck, N. 0., Aug. 16. Under the auspices of the Masons and Odd Fellows of Scotland Neck there was given a grand picnic in Oapt. W. H. Kitchiu’s grove near town yesterday. For weeks and weeks great preparation had been made. A large number of in vitations had been sent out throughout the surrounding country and to the neighboring lodges of the orders and a large crowd came in response to the in vitation. Speeches were made by Oapt. Kitchin, Judge Spier Whitaker and Mr. Claude Kitchin. The subject of Capt. Kitchin’s address was Masonry and the Odd Fellows orders. He said that though there was a prejudice against them in certain quarters, they were productive of great good to humanity He declared that Masonry antedates Christianity 1,500 years and that it has been the right, bower of the church, and that these orders do much good that the church of God cannot do. The speaker laid down a high standard for the orders, saying that a true Mason or Odd Fellow must be a righteous, moral, upright man and if not characterized in his life by all these Christian principles he has no busi uees belonging to either one of these orders. At the close of his speech Capt. Kitchin invited the great crowd to dinner and about eight hundred people march ed down and partook ot the tempting feast. Some twenty or twenty-five bar becues had been prepared, and about 50 gallons of Brunswick stew, which is made better iu Eastern Carolina than anywhere else. After dinner the crowd repaired to the speaker’s stand and loud calls were heard for Judge Spier Whitaker, of Raleigh. He responded in happy vein. He congratulated himself, on being a native of the grand old county of Hali fax where there is always so much of whole souled and open-handed hospi tality. He said that he had lost a bet cn Capt. Kitchin's speech, for he thought he would not talk politics at a Masonic and Odd Fellows picnic, bat Kitchin could not step without men tioning the name of Grover Cleveland Mr. Claude Kitchin was called for and responded in a few happy remarks, and the crowd spent the remainder of the afternoon in happy social converse.

BAUHGH, N. C., Feb. 8, 1898. Jjyon Mfg. Co., Brooklyn, N. Y. Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican flustang Lini ment extensively advertised here induces me to tell you how useful It Is to persons In the livery business. I have used It for the past 18 years on my horses for almost every thing that horses are subject to. For sprains and stiff Joints I do not think it has an equal, and for such things as harness galls and rubs It is wonderful. I once bad a very fine driver who was thrown from his car riage In a runaway and so severely bruised about his shoul ders and breast that I did not think he would ever be able to get on a carriage again. I remembered, however, what Mexican Mustang Liniment did for my horses In case of bruises and had him use it constantly, and In about two weeks he was as good a driver as ever, and not an ache or pain remained. I know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but X thought I would add one more testimonial to the useful ness of Mustang Liniment. Yours truly, • • W. H. LANCASTER.
