Ottawa, 111., Sept. 1. The tirst
foreclosure of a mortgage under the
fear of a probability of the election
of W. J. Bryan as President was in
stituted by Mrs. Hackendoner, a
widow, against James W. Grantham,
a, free silver man of Marshall Mrs.
llackendoner's attorney, Clarence
Griggs, wrote to Grantham con
cerning the interest, and stated that
unless the interest was paid at once
he would be compelled to foreclose
in the interest of his client, hut
would not do so if Grantham gave
him a guarantee that in the event
of the election of Bryan he would
pay the mortgage i'i money equiva
lent to gold in value. Grantham
wrote, statin? that he considered
the letter au attempt to influence
his vote. Mr. Griggs showed the
letter to his client, who instructed
mn to at once commence proceed
ings, lie did so. Mr. Griggs states
That, although he is secretary of the
Republican County Central Com
mittee, his action was wholly a mat

for
Chicauo, Sept. Chairman
.Jones, of the .Democratic National
Committee, has made public a letter
to William J. Bryan from Arthur
Sewall, apparently dated July r.i, at
which time the Populist Convention
was in session. The letter, which io
exciting a great deal of comment,
reads as follows:
Mv Dear Mr. Bryan: In i w of
the action of the St. Louis Conven
tion to-day, 1 cannot refrain from
.-iviii"' voit mv thought.- on the.itu-
ntioil.
M v ;sd vices :iiv Dint you hu-.fjK-en
uomi;.;ited as candidate for Pre.si
dent, and Mr Watson for Vice Pres
ident. 1 also learn ' through press
dispatches that jou are .somewhat
undecided whether you ought to ;;e
.w ,lrlmi Now. I desire to
l.Vp l ......
sav to vou with the utmost frank
ness and good feeling, that you must
not allow 'any personal considera
tion -for -tiii1 to iniluence vou m vour
v a -
action.
1 desire vou will do just what you
believe is best for the success of ihe
head of our ticket. The principles
we are lighting for are so paramount
al considerations that
the letter should not have any
weight or influence whatever with
your action.
I cannot for a moment allow my
self to be a factor in any action on
your part that would in the slight
est degree hazard an electoral vote
or vou.
With kind regards to Mrs. Bryan,
believe me, vour sincere friend,
Akthi ji Skw.vi.i..
Bath, Me , Julv 'i'i.
The Democratic managers at
headquarters insisted the letter had
no further fcigniiicance tlnm that
Mr Brvan would consent to revive
formal notification from the Pop
ulist mrtv in the near future, and
he publication was to forestall all
uniois as to the attitude of
Mr
fol
the this
Sewall toward a cereinonv.
Chairman Jones dictated the
owing explanation as to how
etter comes to be published at
time:
"Several days ago Chairman Johes
wrote a letter to Mr. Sewall stating
to turn tnat many J'emocrats
throughout the country, and especi
ally throughout the West, were ob-
ecting to fusion with the Populists
on electoral tickets for the reason
that thev did not want to be disloy
al to Mr. Sewall In replv to Chair-
in m Jones, Mr. Sewall forwarded
copy of the. letter written to Mr.
Bryan, dated July 25, isiui:
"The tales about the retirement of
our candidate for Vice-President is
oo absurd to be serious! v discussed.
Mr. Sewall's letter written after Mr.
Brvan's nomination bv the St. Loui?
Convention, is a splendid illustration
of his loyalty to his associate on
he Democratic National ticket. He
i
sees no embarrassment whatever in
Mr. Brvan's nomination for Presi
dent by another party and upon an
other ticket, but believes it to be
in important step toward certain
vectorv for the silver cause. It is a
complete answer to etforts of the
gold Democrats to crtate the im
pression that Mr. Sewall will retire
under any circumstances to sy that
the Democratic party and its nation
al organizations are just as loyal to
Mr. bewail as he himself is to Mr.
Bryan and the grent cause of the
common people.

Jennings Bryan, nominee for Presi
dent, was married this afternoon to

from Salem, 111 , from which place
they eloped. The young lady started
from home presumably to visit
friends in this city. Her sweetheart
boarded the same train, and at Wat
son,Tnd., they took a train for Jef
fersonville.
The reason for the elopement was
that the mother of the bride was op
posed to the marriage. The bride's
mother is a sister of Mr. Bryan.
To Carry New York.
The New York correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun (extreme gold pa
per) says the Democratic leaders now
believe that New York can be car
ried for Bryan, and that they have
definitely determined to make the
greatest fight of the campaign in that !
State. Natioual Chairman Jones
and Senator Gorman will have a
conference in the city of New York
this week to map out the work.

A correspondent of the Wilming

1, savs: l esteruay the crew oi vnau-
wick ev Jones' factory were hshing
for fat-backs when they made a haul
of mullets, estimated at 1.500 bar
rels This means that there were
about 150,000 fish caught, as they
run one hundred to the barrel. Last
ni'ht the tish-houses of Morehead
and Beaufort furnished scenes of the
iveliest activity.
Such enormous catches are rot
requent. Iu fact, they are made
onlv two or thrte times a year, and
then onlv in ihe pecuiiarlv con
ducted "purse-nets" used in deep

Tillman in the f oal Regions.
The Bryan campaign managers
have decided that Senator Tillman
of South Carolina shall resume his
campaign in Pennsylvania among
the coal miners, where, it is claimed,
he became such a hero by a few
speeches delivered recently.
The Senator will come from his
South Carolina home and go to
Pennsylvania about the 10th of this
month. He will remain in that
State until the 20th, speaking con
tinuously. On the 19th he is sched
uled to speak in Philadelphia, and
the silverites there will prenare an
ovation for him. His speech tthere
will be addressed particularly to the
workingme'n, who are supposed to
put great faith in him. The Sena
tor will begin his campaign in
Schuylkill county. He will go
from there into Carbon, Lucerne,

counties.

What Free Coinage Means.
It means that the money of
the
people shall not be boycotted
It means that greenbacks
shall
be redeemed with silver
as
well as
gold.
It means that no more bonds shall
be sold to buy greenbacks.
It means that silver shall continue
to be a legal tender.
It would mean money enough in
circulation to keep pace with the in
crease in population.
It would make silver bullion
worth as much as if coined into dol
lars. It would stop the redemption of
greenbacks by money sharks who
will not take silver for them.
It would guarantee stability to
our currency. It would gradually
raise the level of prices.
It would mean better prices for
wheat and corn.
It would mean more work and
better pay for work.
The panic maker would go out of
business.
We would have no more declara
tions from the White House that the
government is bankrupt.
There would be no more syndicate
bond purchases at robbery rates of
interest.
It would mean the payment of
100 cents on the dollar for indebt
edness and no more.
These thoughts are not our
thoughts, nor of any one man, but
the conviction of a majority of the
Democratic American people.

lot resulted as follows: Bryan, 93;
McKinley, 2; Levering, 1.

Call the roll of the millionaire
supporters of McKiuley, both Demo

fiud that they cover the trust and
monopoly interests of the United
States. They are banded in solid
phalanx on behalf of the Republican
candidate. They are lavish in ttfeir
money to corrupt the electorate that
McKinlev mav succeed, and from
one end of the country to the other
are using the agencies of intimida
tion, possessed by them as great em
ployers of labor, to coerce their em
ployes into voting for McKinley.

a household necessity. It cannot slip in

Kxpenses KxcpvA Receipts for August by
Over Tn ifiUHou Dollars.
" The monthly statement of the
public debt, issued from the Treas
ury Department, shows that at the
close of business on Monday the pub
lic debt, less cash in the Treasury,
was $978,497,100, which is an in
crease for the month of $12,342,084.
This is accounted for by the los3 of
almost exactly that amount of cash
on hand, due to the excess of expen
ditures over receipts. The debt is
recapitulated as follows: Interest
bearing debt, $847,364,200, interest
on which interest has ceased since
inaturi : $l.r,'2L960; debt bearing
interest, $372,oU,.J70 maKinga total
of 1,221,843,590. This amount,
however, does not include 503.050.
973 in certificates and Treasury notes
outstanding and offset by an equal
amount of cash in the Treasury.
The cash in the Treasury is classi
fied as follows: Gold, 8139,825,200;
silver, $513,647,700; paper, 177,
923,508; bond?, disbursing officer's
balances, &c, $17,992,270, making a
total of $849,388,740, against which
there are demand liabilities amount
ing to 006,042.345, which, leaves
243,340,400 cash in the Treasury.
The interest-bearing debt of . the
L'overnment is shown by the state
ment to have been $1,182,149,050 on
March 1. 1885; $844,100,220 on
March 1, 1889; 585 034.200 on
March 1, 1893, and S47,364,200 on
August 31, 1896.
The monthly comparative state
ment of the receipts and expenditures
of the United States, issued yester
day, shows that during August the
total receipts from all sources aggre
gated 25,502,096, and the expendi
tures 35,701,676, leaving a deficit
for the month of $10,139,5S0, and
for the two months of the fiscal vear,
23,198,839, as compared with $13,
113,854 for the same period in 1895.
The receipts from customs during
last month were 12,329,495, as com
pared with $15,039,047 for August,
lsyo. rrom internal revenue sour
ces the receipts for August, 1896,
were $1 1,901,338. as compared with
12,173,104 for August, 1S95. The
expenditures last month were over
$3,000,000 in excess of those for
August, 1S95.
The Treasury yesterday lost 55,
200 in gold coin and $10,400 iu bars,
which leaves the true amount of the
gold reserve, $103,779,513. j

The Magistrate Business j
There are now 87 magistrates in j
Cabarrus county. There will be :
six to retire as the new ones come '
in, making the older number 81. ;
The election this fall will increase.
the number 42, making the whole '
number in the county 123. The
State must furnish them the neces- j
sary books. The magistrates elected :
from this time on will hold their j
office just two years. After 4 years ,
the terms of every one of the pres- j
ent magistrates will have expired j
and we will have only the num-;
ber elected which will be 42 unless i
the towns require more by reason of !
increased population, or what is!
more likely and more judicious, a '
setting aside of fusion methods and
u n i.- I
and national methods. In either
event there will be a decided sur-
p'us of law books in the State that:
will not be read nor used and !
could be wisely exchanged for school
books and placed in the hands of
public school children if there were
any demand for them.
Without the change by the legis
lature of '95 we would have about
45 magistrates. With the change,
we are to have 123 the next two
years, then in four years we are to
have 42 magistrates. Do you see
