.Mr. Cox says he hasn't a dollar in

ran't' 'the -Democrats trot out any
ty,ly to meet Mr. Whltener In joint
date?
riryan is probably the only man
I; ah to grow rich on political mis
fortunes. Mr. Graves was notified in Atlanta
Fri lay night and we believe that
ends the list.
By the aid of the negro vote the
Dt riiorratg managed to carry Arkan
sas Monday by a large majority.
Mr. Cox was not in the High Point
lockout, but on the other hand is a
good friend of "the laboring man.
Di'l the Democrats select Mr. Van-dH-ford
to collect campaign funds in
.North Carolina because he carried a
railroad pass?
If the protective tariff is the moth-er-uf
trusts, as the Democrats claim,
why is that free-trade England has
so many trusts?
Mr. Graves, the Independence can
didate forxvice-president was notified
in Atlanta Friday night. We believe
that ends the list.
The Republican majority in Ver
mont was 30,000, instead of 28,000
as first reported. The result afford
ed . no comfort for the Democrats.

A DEATH MACHINE
Attempt to Assasinate Govern
or Foot of New Jersey .
is Thwarted.
INFERNAL MACHINE SENT HIM
TheVigilance of the Post-office In
spectors Prevented the Governor's
Death .The Package Was Cleverly
Contrived by a Combination utf
Powder, Ballets, and Matches.
Sea Girt, N. J.. Sept. 12. An at
tempt, to. assassinate Governor Fort,
of New Jersey, has been thwarted by
the watchfulness of post-office em
ployes, who discovered in the mails
an infernal machine addressed to the
Governor. The package was a clev
erly contrived combination of pow
der, bullets and matches, which had
been so arranged that had the Gov
ernor opened it in the ordinary way
there is little doubt it xould have
killed him.
That the death-dealing . package
was Intercepted before it reached its
destination was due to the vigilance
of the post-office officials, who have
scanned the Governor's mail with un
usual care since the Executive's re
cent crusade against violation of the
law at Atlantic City. The attitude
taken by the Governor when he di
rected that the excise and old similar
laws at the great' seaside resort be
strictly enforced, and even threatened
to order out the militia if necessary
to that end, aroused great resent
ment in some quarters.
Several days ago when a package
of somewhat unusual shape was
found to bear insufficient postage it
was taken by a clerk to one of the
postal inspectors. The Inspector be
came more impressed by the shape
and condition of the package than
by the shortage of the stamps, and at
once wrote the Governor- informing
him that a package of suspicious ap
pearance addressed to him was being
held at the office. The inspector se
cured permission to open it. Exercis
ing the greatest care, the inspector
and his assistants removed the wrap
pings from the package to find that
it was a real infernal machine, crude
but so cleverly constructed that . it
was capable of doing tremendous
aamage. " cpntainea a quantity 01
powder and bullets with matches so
arranged that a hurried opening of
tne Package would have set off the
powder and hurled, the bullets in all
directions. , 4;-r

KITC1ILV REFCSES JOINT DEBATE
Declined to Meet Mr. Whitest Eves
After the Event Had Bee Adrer
tid by Both ftepobiican ad
Democrat.
Kings Mountain. N.' C, Sept. 14.
There was a grand rally of both Re
publicans and Democrats here to-day.
The parade' was over a mile long.
Great enthusiasm was manifested by
all sides. A joint discussion had
been advertised between Mr. Kltchin
And auy other Republican speaker in
North Carolina. A. A. Whltener, of
Hickory, rode a distance of nearly
thfee hundred miles to be present
for the joint discussion with Mr.
Kltchin.
Kltchin at the last minute pos
itively declined to enter imo any
joint discussion, this notwithstanding
the fact that a joint committee of
Republicans and Democrats had ar
ranged for a joint discussion. Un
der no conditions would Kltchin en
ter into a joint discussion.
Mr. Kltchin began speaking at a
little after 11 o'clock and spoke two
hours and twenty minutes. The
meeting was then adjourned until 2
o'clock, when A. A. Whltener, of
Hickory, addressed a large and en
thsiastic crowd. Duriag the speech
of Mr. Whltener he challenged Mr.
Kltchin' or any other Democrat In
North Carolina to meet him at any
appointment that he had in the State.
From the applause it seemed that the
majority of those present were Re
publicans? It looks like Cleveland
will go Republican by a good major
ity. Kitchin's and B. F. Aycock's
speeches were the -regulation Demo
cratic 'brand. Whitener's speech was
said to be the masterpiece of the
day. The conduct of Kltchin in re
fusing a joint debate after the com
mittee had advertised it, was con
demned on all . sides. Kitchin's
speech had lots of negro magistrates
in it, so it Is thought all this big
Democratic speaking is to try and
save Webb la the Ninth District

"The Southern has retrenched
