It is being generally commented

SENATOR SIHMONS exposes ft

UNIQUE CASE.
By What Proceeding Can the Murderer
of 20 Yeara Ago be Executed Now
The Raleigh correspondent to the
Charlotte Observer presents the fol
lowing legal dilima for the Gover
nor and Attorney General:
"Governor Aycock makes a re
quisition on tbe Governor ofJSonth
Carolina for Daniel Gould, alias
Thomas Maddrey, colored, who 20
years ago was convicted of murder
in Anson county. Pending an ap-
Seal to the Supreme court he" fled,
rot until a few dayssgo was he dis
covered and returned. He is now
in jail at Georgetown. His case pre
sents points of interest. A man who
gave information as to his identifi
cation and arrest said very gravely
that all was neoessary was to bring
him back to Anson county and hang
him. He added with equal gravity
that he thought Gould might object
to returning under these circumstan
ces; that is without requisition. Now
then, under what proceeding will
Gould be banged? Will he have
to be resentenced in Anson? Or will
it be sufficient for the olerk of tbe
Supreme Court to certify to the
Governor the opinion of the court
in Gould's case, the Governor there
upon issuing a death warrant, as
usual in appealed cases? Nice ques
tions of the law, etc., which Gov
ernor Ayoock and the Attorney Gen
eral will pass upon.

Washington, Jaly 2. Chairman
Simmons cf the Democratic State
Committee authorizes the following
statement:
For some time past . prominent
North Carolina Republicans in
Washington have been intimating
that their party would control the
ceit North Carolina legislature and
that Senator Pritchard would be re
turned to the Senate. Democrats
have been UDable to understand the
grounds of this hope in the face of
tbe fact that the party lost the Mate
about 6U.UOU maioruv, and since
that time has lost, by the educational
provision of the amendment, be
tween seventy and eighty thousand
of its former voters.-
The persistency with which this
claim was made aroused in my mind
a suspicion that it was based upon
some secret scheme and led to an in
vestigation with the view of ascer
taining what it all meant. As a re
sult of this investigation, I have dis
covered a shrewdly devised and well
developed conspiracy.
Jhe scheme, briefly stated, is to
stir up and promote dissensions and
independentism and, by raising the
cry that the amendment bas elimi
nated the negro and freed the white
man , to bring about during the early
stages of the campaign a hopeless
division anions Democrats, and then
on the eve of tbe election have tbe
Federal court to set aside the amend
me' t. In this enterprise and in or
ganizing the opposition forces, the
conspirators are to have unlimited
money furnished them by the Na
tional Republican Executive Com
mittee upon the promise of two, if
not three, Republican Congressmen
from the State and the retention of
tbe present Republican Senator.
In order to divide the the Demo
crats, every local dissatisfaction,
every local quarrel, every fancied
complaht and grievance against the
party and state administration, ev
ery disappointment growing out of
tbe nomination or defeat of candi
dates, is to be assiduously nursed
and fanned. The Democratic party
is to be charged with hostility to cer
tain interests and with nominating
men to omoe known to be prejudiced
against these interests, and con
Bervative voters are to be appealed
to to prevent this alleged assault
and to cast their votes against these
objectionable candidates. It is ei
pected that the opposition to Judge
Clark's tomination will start the
bolt, and that, on account of the un
usual number of Democratic candi
dates this year, defeated candidates
all over tbe State will be found who
will be ready to hazard their chances
by allowing the use of their name
