That correspondent says that ; the all-day caucusing yesterdav be j tween Uhjinnan Jones. Faulkner and liutler dtivelopeu n deal that .virtually disposes of Wlsou, aod ; proposes a political deal in iNorth Larohna that will ci ate a more than ordinary political eensiitioB in that State. As the story is pretty authentical ly rela ed, Butler refuged to enter tain the Democratic electoral fusion proposition in North Carolina until the question of congressional and State fusion was settled. To Messrs. Jones and Faulkner he is reported to have said there were three revolt ing elements in the State. There were Fusion Populists, Silver Re publicans, and Fusion Democrats. Together and united these elements can sweep the State. Divided, either on the State, congressional, or electoral ticket, the State will be lost to silver. To meet this exigency he submit ted a complete ticket, "ignoring all political antecedents embracing Populists, Jlepublicans, aud Demo crats, and making silver and the election of Bryan the supreme and the only issue in the campaign. He assured the Democratic leaders that there were a large number of influential Populists m the State who would not support electoral fu sion with the Democrats, even at the expense of defeating Bryan, and that the one certain way to over come the difficulty was a complete ticket headed by a Populist for Governor, a fair division of the con gressional ticket, and electoral fu sion that would give the electoral vote of the State to Bryan. That the proposition is favorably entertained is more a matter of in ference than authorized statement Following it were numerous fiiendly and satisfactory caucuses, including Senator Butler's chummy and spec tacular trip to the railroad station with Senator Jones, who left in the afternoon for Chicago. The single hitch in the proposed deal, rt seems, is the extent of the recognition to be given the Silver Republicans. Butler insists that Dr. Mott shall be suitably recognized, in addition to" the nomination of Dockery as Lieutenant-Gove nor on the Popn list State ticket. Mott is a candi date for United States Senator to succeed Senator Pritchard, and Sen ator Butler, urutly backed by the National Silver Committee, through Committeeman Stevens, is support ing his candidacy. Silver Republi cans in the State are not numerous, and if any concession is made to that element it will be the nomina tion of young Mott (who practically bolted the St. Louis convention) for Congress in the Eighth District. Apparently, the most perfect har mony exists between Populist and Democratic headquarters here. They are side by side in the same build ing, and it may be that Chairman Faulkner can give the young Tar heel Populist leader a point or two in national and State campaigning. This all leads to Watson's final overthrow. It may not be at once, but it is inevitable. It is just as easy to read between the lines of Butler's second manifesto, issued last night, declaring unquestioned loyalty to Watson, as it was to inter pret the first declaration.

In the crowd a few county officials were preseui. and, most of them were neutral This is no Democratic lie, as the in formation was given to your corres pondent by a former Kansas Repub lican, who is now an enthusiastic silver mn. The sale was well ad yertieed and took place in a settle ment where the woods used to be full of radical Republicans. The work of organizing the county fdr Bryan and silver is an easy matter, as the farmers want to pay their debts and own their homes, which they now realize will be inpoesible if the present gold standard is con. tinned. A Fe Silver Camp Meeting Salem, Ark., Aug. 22. An in terstate 16 to 1 camp meeting has been arranged to take ' place on the State line, between Fulton county, Arkansas, and Howell county, Mis souri, on September 3, 4 and 5. The programme is a very interesting one, and bears the names of the best talk ers and reasoners in either State. Ser vices will be opened each morning with a lecture from "Coin" Harvey, followed by "free-for-all talks" un til the noon hour. After dinner two speeches by prominent speakers, and one speech in the evening. Arrange ments are being made to care for 5 000 people. understand by what authorify Till man called on Watson, but no such offer 1 as been contemplated. I.in,l aud Sevrall Clubs Reported Washington, An?. 22. Thirty new Bryan and Sewall clubs, rang ing in membership from 100 to 1,000, were enrolled at Democratic head quarters today. The Democratic managers state that there is a wide Spread demand for information as to the method of organizing clubs, re quirements for admission to the Na tional Association and regarding the National convention at St Louis on September 30. Encouraging reports as to organization by means of clubs are coming in, especially from the South. In Texas, organizers have been appointed in every county to conduct this line of work, and a very large supply of enrollment blanks were sent there and to other South ern States today. Application for admission to the National Associa tion was today received from the Wilmington (Del.) Bryan and Sewall Club, which embraces a membership of 1,000 men, chiefly employes of the Wilmington car shops. One of the letters received at Dem ocratic headquarters was from the Secretary of the Stuart (Io.) Bryan Club, in which the writer confidently predicted an overwhelming Demo cratic majority in Iowa. Owing to the heavy demand for Democratic literature, the clerical force will be increased next week. PEOPLE PACKFD THE COURT HOCSB TO HEAR HIM. He Nail a Lie That Had Iien Circulated on Him and Then Deliver a Powerful Ciinpalgn Oration Dick Hunter Ke i)ini"t toCallft A I e.uocraiic Club Or ganized. When Mr. Heriot Clarkson arose to introduce Hon. Robt- B Glenn at the court house Monday the room was filled with enthusiastic Demo crats, and when he had finished, every available inch was taken, it i was a great gutnering ot tne tried and true of Charlotte and Mecklenburg,-and they gave full vent to their enthusiasm when the speaker began his speech, which proved to be one of the strongest political arguments that has been heard here. The speaker was interrupted at fre- i ouent intervals with applause. His remarks were strong, earnest and stirring and many who have heard him on previous occasions, say that it was one of his best. "I am always glad to come to Charlotte, the best town in the State,' and I believe she and old Mecklenburg owe their prosperity and success to the fact that they always go Democratic." A mighty cheer greeted the speaker as he said this, and the applause lasted for some time. Mr. Glenn said that he was not a'candidate for any office notwithstanding the reports that had been circulated to that effect, and the lie that he was drunk in Asheville was a fabrication out of the whole cloth. He had never been in that condition throughout his entire life. The Democratic plat form had been severely criticised, but never in its history was there a safer or broader platform than the one made at the Chicago Conven- jl . .1 l.i Tl tT ! - tion on tne mu oi last .juiy. tne Mr. Glenn here spoke most warmly of the Democratic candidate for the presidency, William Jennings Bryan, and the most enthusiastic applause greeted his remarks Mr Glenn did not waste much time on the tariff. He said it was the dryest question on record, and lie know that if he were in the middle of a mill pond and began to talk the tariff, it would not be long before he would be on dry land. He then directed his hearers attention to the one great issue of this campaign the financial question, and if there was any strad dle bugs in the room when he fin ished his powerful argument, they did not make themselves known. He made every fact plain, clear and concise. He said that he had studied this question for the last six months as he had never studied before, and those present saw that he knew what he was talking about. He pictured the financial vampire that was suck ing the life blood from this glorious country of ours in its true colors and made a powerful impression on his listeners. His remarks about the closing down of factories, the store houses having bankruptcy written over the doors, the fires unkindled in the furnaces and the general distress and trouble that was on this broad land of ours, caused by this monster of most hideous mien was a strong part of his speech. Is there no balm in Gilead? asked the speakw. Is not there a little David who will rise up and strike down this Goliath? Yes, a mighty band of Democrats on last July no minated a man whose belief is in favor of the free and unlimited coin age of silver, and the greatest de haters in the country have not been able to answer his arguments. Every political organization in the country had declared for bi-metalism, said the speaker, and therefore it must be a good thing, and if such was the case, why wait for an international agreement when this nation was one of the greatest on the globe? Glad stone said that England would never consent to bi-metalism. If she was j a debtor nation he would favor it, but she is a creditor nation and will never change her monetary system. The speaker here confined himself to answering the objections made to the free coinage of silver. How can the Republican party say that the silver dollar of today is a dishonest dollar when they made it so by demonetiz ing silver in 1878, when the silver dollar was worth $1 03. The speaker went on to speak of the Bland bill and dealt vigiorous blows as to how Mr. Sherman got scared after he had promised that if silver ever reached $1.20 in value his party would estab lish free silver, and when, on the strength of that, silver went to $1.20 he erased the clause that would have enacted it Mr. Glenn appealed to labor to fight itself, not by riot, by torch or other destructive means that imperiled life, but by ballots for Bryan on the 3rd day of next No-vf-ni er, that was the right and manly thing.to do. He spoke most earnest ly on the distress throughout the -country, and said there was but one remedy to efface this distress, and that was for5 the people to go to the ballot box on next November and' cast their ballots for Bryan and Se wall At the conclusion of Mr. Glenn's speech there were calls for Mr B.R Hunter He respondec in a short address in which be made it clear that he is to be counted upon as one of the most vigorous uorkersthe party will have in Mecklenburg dur ing the present campaign Mr. Hunter is a rood speaker and posse-ses the gift of presenting facts -so that they will stick. At the conclusion of Mr. Glenn's speech, the following was presented: Whereas, the success of Democ racy and the maintenance of honest and economical government, in North Carolina and Mecklenburg county depends to a large extent upon parly organization; and Whereas, we, the young Democrats of Mecklenburg county are anxiona and ready to enter into an organiza tion to aid in securing the ends be fore mentioned, Be it resolved, 1 That we enter jnto a perma nent organization to be known as 'The Young Mens Democratic Club of Mecklenburg County" 2.
