The State crop bulletin yesterday
says: '-The drought is yet unbroken
over many parts of the central and
eastern districts and that but little
improvement is now possible in crop
conditions. Cotton picking is rapid
and under favorable conditions the
quality of cotton is high. The crop
will b"; nearly all open by Octobers,
in eastern districts. Many fievik
alreadv look as if struck by frost.
The peanut crop is cut short by the
August drought. Rice i3 only ordi
nary. Tobacco continues poor in
quality. Most of that crop being
houBed. The report for the western
district says: Good, soaking rains
fell on the last two or three days of
the week at a large number of places
in the Western District, effectually
breaking the drought, but came too
late to materially benefit crops.
Cotton will be no better than already
estimated; picking going on rapidly,
except for two days, when interrupt
ed by rain. Late corn is shooting up
tall, but little crop. Good crop of
pea-vine hay has been harvested.
Turnips fairly good and much bene
fitted by the rain. Some wheat land
has been broken, this work being
quite backward. Leaves of forest

PALMER AND BIJCKXKR.
The Indianapolis Republicans Ptit (Tp a
Ticket Tht Will Nerer "Her tboH .rn
Blow."
Indianapolis, Indiana, Sept. 3.
After the adoption of the platform
a motion was made for a recess, but
the temper of the convention was
not for delay. A motion of Mr.
Breckinride, of Kentucky, to pro
ceed to the nomination of a candidate
to stand on the excellent platform,
was carried.
Thereupon the call of States for
the nomination was begun at 2:30, 1
and Alabama, whose name was first,
yielded to Kentucky, and Delegate !
A. J. Carroll, who is a close friend
of Henry Watterson, came to the
platform to make a statement thai
he would withdraw from considera
tion the name of the Kentucky edi
tor. Lemuel L. Kilbourn, of Michigan,
presented the name of Senator Palm
er, of Illinois. Incidentally he pre
dicted that the State gold Democrat
ic ticket would cast 50,000 votes in
Michigan. He said that he had
arisen to preseut a gentleman who
embodied in the most stalwart man
ner the principles of this platform,
and turning to the Senator, w ho was
sitting on the stage, with a bow,
named John M. Palmer, of Illinois.
This climax was received with a
cheer, delegates waving their flags
and shouting "Palmer, Palmer."
The venerable Senator seized his
hat from the table and in the face of
tnis boisterous demonstration, beat a
retreat up the rear of the stage.
California gave her time to Burr

of Georgia,
also seconded Palmer's nomination
in a brief speech
Missouri seconded the nomination
of General Bragg. When Nebraska
was reached C. S. Montgomery arose.
"Nebraska,"' he said, with slow, de
liberate emphasis, "Nebraska ht;s no
candidate to present to this conven
tion . Nebraska, we think has furn
ished one too many candidates.''
This drive at Mr. Bryan went
home and was one of the big hits of
the convention.
After the nominating speeches were
made the States were called and
Palmer was nominated on the first
ballot.
A roll call was ordered for vice
president, and Kentucky was called
first. The band played "My Old
Kentucky Home."
Brouder, of Kentucky, took the
stage to nominate Buckner. The
nomination was made by acclama
tion. ;

Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 8.
Returns today so far justify last
night's claims that the Democrats
will carry the state by about sixty
thousand majority, the largest ever
given in the state by many thousand.
Dr. Preston'B Condition.
The News' bulletin, received at
2:30 today from Lexington says:
"Dr. Preston's temperature is 101 3-5.
His condition is otherwise unchang

The Repnollcau Have a Howling Meeting
in Raleigh.
Mott, Pritchard and Russell held
a sample campaign meeting: at the
Metropolitan opera bousa in Raleigh
Tuesday, and the News & Observer
says it was too indecent to print.
Marshall Mott, it says was delirous
with a dozen or more demons that
hissed blue fire from their nostrils.
Hidden behind the screen of his own
intelligence he barbed and barbed
the jpent-np passions of thse negroes
until fbey coiild hardly retain their
j seats. 1 here is hardly on extract
j decent enough to take out as a sam
! pie. They say th ;t Cleveland is a
traitor, but it is a he as dark as
night, as riack as hell; if Grover
Cleveland is a traitor, Cy Watson is
a traitor; if Grover Cleveland is a
traitor, Pou, who is running for Con
gress is a traitor; if Grover Cleveland
is a traiter, every Democratic nomi
nee is a traitor. But Grover Cleve
land is no traitor, the nominees arc
traitors. They knew he was against
silver and yet they went before you
and told you wilfully, maliciously,
and told you wht they knew was a
damned lie from the beginning to
the end." (Great applause and all
kinds of barbaric exclamations.)
We dare not for our readers' sake
take any more of the filthy stuff that
was like the inoculation of rabies
virus into the veins of the beasts in
front.
And yet they scream about the
color line. This, men of the State, is
the food they are feeding to the
negroes. Listen to this: "A vote
for any body else except Russell
means a vote against untrammelled
citizenship: I myself, the peer, so
cially or otherwise, of any Democrat
in the State, was until two years ago,
a political slave." He meant he was
a slavt perhaps until he got a job,
after that he was drawing money and
was free.
As to Russell nothing better was
expected. His bowels boiled and
heaved like the witch's cauldron,
until the bubbles lifted from him
like lava from the lips of a mountain
of hell. The negroes were in a state
of exaltation of evil heartedness
when he came forward. They had
almost returned in feeling to their
primitive savage state, and Russell
took the tide at its flood. Here is a
glimpse of his low demagogy: "Rus
sell don't get mad with a black man
because be is riding in a top buggy
or living in a painted house." Does
he know any Democrat that does?
Ah, the divtiness of it! It almost
befouls the fingers to write of such a
gathering.

speeches from
Mr
today to
S. Witt-
kows'r v and Maj. W. A. Guthrie,
the Populist Ciifididafe for Govei'
u or.
Dr. J. li. Alexander introduced
Maj. Guthrie as the next Governor
of North Carolina. Maj. Guthrie in
beginning referred to Mr. Witt
kowsky's grievance against the
press. Told Mr. Witckowsky he
must learn to take it easy. He then
referred to the Mecklenburg Decla
ration, and said he came to talk
patriotism, and hoped to have Mr.
Wittkowsky end all other single
standard citizens join him against
Wall Street and Lombard Street.
He said the money question was
uppermost in the minds of the peo
ple in this country and all the other
nations of the earth. Eighteen
i years ago both Democratic and Re
publican parties stood where the
Populists stand today. I am not
going to say hard things of any one.
Three or four candidates running
for Governor. Somebody will get
badly left. You colored people,
your party is going back on its
record when it asks you to vote for
gold and McKinley. One wing of
the Democratic party led by Palmer
and Buckner standing cheek by
jowl with McKinley and Hobart on
the money question.
Debt of the United States increas
ed $262,000,000 in the last three
years to buy gold Mr. Guthrie ex
plained wh,t free coinage meant at
some length.
He vottd for Cleveland in 1892
because Harrison favored the force
bill. He criticised Cleveland's policy
on silver. . Said he was willing to
meet silver Democrats half way bv
voting for Bryan.
Democrats and Populists must
come together against McKinley. I
believe we will soon get together on
the National ticket. Democrats are
dragging the machine politicians
after them. I advise you Populists
to vote for a free coinage of silver
mau for Congress and for free coin
age of silver men to go to the Legis
lature, to elect a free silver United
States Senator. Dont vote for
men who are pledged to vote for
Pritchard's re-election, because he
has gone back on his profession of
two years ago. When you go to vote
for candidates for the legislature see
that they are not pledged to vote for
Pritchard.
Mr. Guthrie then eulogized the
farmers alliance and the farmers.
Said the last legislature made Re
publicans free. Peoples Party
breathed new life into the Republi
cans of this S'ate and gave all peopl:
the right to elect their county of
ficers. When Bryan comes to A Feck Jen
burg county I want every Populist
and every Democrat, and every Re
publican to come to hear him. I
want vou Republicans -o see a man
that is a man. Some one asked,!
-How about McKinl.-vVv 'Let. Mc
Kinley stay at home' he said, and
let old Mark Hanna stay there and
nurse him."
Mr. Guthrie closed with an elo
quent appeal to all silver men to get
together and defeat McKinley and
the gold standard.
Maj. Guthrie made a fair and
conservative speech from his point
of view. He gave his Populist
hearers good advice. His speech
was not at all pleasing to the Repub
licans. He went for Hanna and
McKinley with gloves off. What
he said wa3 not calculated to enthuse-either
Republican or Popu
list fusionists in this county.
At the conclusion of Maj. Guth
rie's speech Mr. Walter R. Henry
was called upon. He explained why
the Populists and Republicans fused
in Mecklenburg. He said that the
PopaJist nominees in this county
wtjJrote for whom they pleased,
an'iQjS Republicans would vote as
they 'CgSSd for a candidate for
UniteuTs23 Senator. They would
all votebl .tjgSxintain the present
election la&3Pi county govern
ment 3'
He paid his ttspects to the Demo
cratic party as that "rotten and nas
ty" old party.
He then set upon Mark Hanna
and said the record of his life vas
the blackest he lad ever read, and
that Mark Hanna carried McKinley
in his pocket beciuse McKinley,
"his bought tool," o ved him $118,'
000. . ;

"Mr. S.'. Wittkowsky; navin g asketT
to . be permitted- to make a speech exr
planatory of his Greensboro speech,
was accorded the privilege. He
read from the original manuscript to
show what be did savat Greensboro.
i On that occasion, his remarks were:
Mr. Chairman, I know that I voice
the sentiment of every one present
and all those who will co-operate
with us, that we are first and above
all things North Carolinians; that
our love for North Carolina and her
best interests is second to none, that
we love her broad domain from Cur
rituck in the East to Cherokee in
the West, that we love her every
shrub and tree, her every stream and
rivulet, her mountains and lowlands,
her Institutions, her people and even
their pecularitiee; which . we could
not change if we would, and would
not change them if we could.
That her people are as honest, as
chivalrous, as noble and the most
favored of her Sister States, and
hitherto she possessed a quality not
possess d by any of her sister States,
namely :
Extreme conservatism, amounting
almost to a fault; so much so that
her Sisters, in thip Union dubbed her
as the "Rip Van V inkle State," and
we as North Carolinians were proud
of that encomium, but it has trans
pired of late, and I may say it with
a heart full of regret that good,
staid, conservative North Carolina
has become apostalized to a new poli
tical creed and like every apostate,
has become a zealot, in her new poli
tical faith.
As for myself, I have special rea
sons to love North Carolina and her
people, having come among thm
forty three years ago, and when but
a poor and. obscure boy their homes
and firesides, their hands and hearts
were ever open to me, and friend
sl ps I then formed, especially with
her dweller.- in the country, have
outlived 'tha original friends, has
passed down in many instances to
their children and children's chil
dren, and hence I would rather that
my right hand be cut off than raise
it except for her best interests, and
that perish the thought and that my
tongue cleave to the roof of my
mouth, ere I wonldTharbor a thought
or utter a word except it be my hon
est conviction that it is for the best
interests and for the interest of the
country at large.
As to the Silver plank, if so read,
suggests: It is true that I borrowed
your money, that you placed your
confidence, in my honesty, it is true
that the money I received from you
was worth the world over a hundred
cen's to the dollar.
It is true that I t ought vonr land,
and thai I promi.-ed to pay you m a
dollar which was worth the. a hun
dred c nts the world over.
It is true thai, I Lou lit v".ir city
or town Jot based on a ti-.. iar, worth
the world over-a i ut dr. d cei.ts,
but, owing to my iiiOapa.;,. f pro
fitably employ the monev 1 oLfroitt
you, th.it owing to my indok-in eor
bad mfciii"v meni 1 failed u make
n:oney oil the tarai, you ro.d me,
that 1 1 ought your city nl, and in
judiciously on my part, bu it thereon
a residence, and furnished it far in
excess of my means, therefore be
cause of my shortcomings, I will pay
your debt with a fifty cent dollar.
That Was his Greensboro speech.
Referring to H he said further: "In
the proof I have offered. I trust if
t ere is man-hood enough in the
Press, (who so readily villified me) to
right the wrong done a citizen in
private life, who wa3 for nearly half
a century before the people, whose
name stands today as proudly un
smirched as any that ever figured in
this country, a citizen who contri
buted of hia means and ability, to
the building up of this country, so
much so, a& any one citizen of his
time, who has worked and contri
buted for the cause of the Democrat
ic party, long before many of the
present would be Statesmen were
born, to note down, and so report
word for word, what I did say in
Greensboro. Remember that I was
discussing the platform and not any
class of people."
The News has given word for
word what he said in Greensboro.
