Bureau, (
Sept., 15.
The 'vi-S."ii,e Farmer issued this
afternqon says: "The Alliance was
."charged with having 'organized a se
cret combination to defeat Senator
Vance; with trying to create an inde
pendent party; with trying to destroy
the Democratic party. Who in the
Alliance knows of any secret combina
tion to defeat Senator Vance?"'
i
Then the independent movement by
South Carolina Democrats is attacked,
and ! the I'mfressiue . Farmer says:
"Where in all the South has the Alli
ance gone so far towards independent
ismVi Should they go o far, how they
would be abused! and yet we hear no
denunciation of these independent
straighout Democrats. These are the
menj to assume to stand up and ques
tion the loyalty and patriotism of true
Democrats!. And these are some of
the men who?e real or pretended zeal
for Senator Vance has been and will be
his heaviest load. Some ot them are
the men who did form a combination
once acrainst the Senator, when the ed
itor of this paper and tnousinds of our
Alliance brethren stood by him. We
repeat that if ever there was a time in
all his grand life, when he should pray
to be delivered from his so called
friends, that time is now. it oy any
possibility we should have a Republi
can Legislature, or the Senator should
be defeated, it will all be charged, by
these same would-be 'bosses' that the
Alliance is responsible for it. It has
been already asserted. And yet, if
such a thing should occur, we assert
that it will be the logical result of the
unwise, indiscreet, intolerant and fool
ish policy, adopted by those who assume
to boss the Democratic party of tie
State, and against which we entered
our ! earnest prote&t weeks ago.
While the Progressive Farmer will not
swerve an iota from duty to Alliance,
it intends to bo strictly just to Senator j
Vance. It would not misrepresent him.
It would be perfectly fair to him. If it '
be forced to strike him, it will "strike
above the belt." All this agitation
and excitement has grown out of his
position on the Sub-Treasury bill. In a
spirit of fairness we make the follow
ing proposition to Senator Vance: The
Progressive Fanner will give him
two to tnree columns oi space per
week, 6b long as he may elect to use it,
to show that his position and that of
the American Congress on the Sub
Treasury bitt has been proper and
right. We promise that the discussion
shall be conducted on our part fairly
and ! respectfully and shall be free
from all vituperation and bitterness.
In a 1 this controversy we tiave done
only, what was our plain but painful
duty. W e yielded to no one in admira
tion of the public life and services of
Senator Vance. That we have shewn
our regard for him personally and offi
cially, throughout the controversy, and
even under the most trying provoca
tion,1 wo appeal to the columns of this
paper to testify. Should tiie above
proposition to Senato-r Vance be de
clined, the Progressive Farmer is doae
with' the matter, unless it be forced to
speak. We assert (and we challenge
our enemies to show to the contrary)
that: we have not pecned a line er
spoken a word tLat by any fair con
struction could be distorted into even
a remote reflection on the motives or
character of the Senate r. Certain it
is, that it was not our purpose or intention.-"
Senator Vance's speecli at GoLdsboro
Saturday actually moved some of the
Alliance men to tears. Col. Polk's
former expressions certainly were not
the sentiments of tke Alliance. ""Any
wayj the whole discussion has benefited
the Senator and made him the foremost
man in the State," aid some promi
nent and observant gentlemen to-day.
This morning at 3 o'clock a plug in
Le : main supply pipe at the water
works blev out, makiug a noise which
frightened the people at the works.
The break occurred ia six feet of tSe
pumping station. At daylight te
work of repair began. It was -the first
accident of the kind since the estab
lishment of the svstera and the water
supply was cut off all day. Your cor
respondent was told at the works that
air had in some way gotten in the pipe,
and the pressure became so great that
it blew out the plug. The latter, quite
a large piece of metal was blown en
tirely 0 ut of sight into the ground.
There was a big gathering of Repub
licans here to-day, the attraction being
their county convention to nomi
members of the Legislatures and county
Officers, il was a current report Sat
uJday night that the white Republi
cans had "fixed" the negroes, so there
would be harmony. The convention
met at noon, at Metropolitan hall.
' Nine-tenths oi me aeiegaies were
negroes. The nominees are: For the
Senate, D. P. Meacham; for the House,
T. R. Parnell. L. M. Green, C. W.
Soover and Alonza Upchurch. For
count v officers they are: J. R. Rogers,
Sheriff; C. D. Upchurch, Clerk; A. M.
Adams. Register of Deeds; W. W.
Wynne, Treasurer. Meacham is the
man who recently announced nimseu
as an independent Democratic candi
date for Congress from this district.
This convention, and particularly
Meacham's nomination immensely in
creases the Democratic chances of suc
cess in the county.
The people in the northwestern part
of this county are very earnest in tneir
desire that the railway from Spring

an. kenxeh speech :
Making an Attack on Senator fjnay Ap
pear In Sunday Kecord Somewhat
Modified. But Still Serere Enough.
Washington, SepL 15. The speech
of Representative Kennedy, of Ohio,
attacking the Senate and Sena'or
Quay, which created a sensation when
delivered ten days ago, appeared in the
Longrtssional Jucord yesterday morn
ing, after having been revised by him.
The speech, as it appears in the Gov
ernment's official publication of the
proceedings of Congress, differs from
the speech, as originally delivered, in
the elimination of certain passages
which, it has been asserted, were con
trary so parliamentary rules and
usages. The revised speech is hardly
less severe than as originally delivered,
but it is believed by Congressmen from
Ohio to bo now in conformity with the
rules of the House, governing criti
cisms' in debate of the other branch of
the Legislature. After declaring that
Ohio has twice within the decade been
disgraced by Senators chosen simply
because they were able to out bid other
contestants" there is this sentence;
"surely the cloak of Senatorial cour
tesy has been used to hide the infamy
and corruption which has dishonored
and disgraced the body which was once
the prod-st in the land. This is the
only reference tq "cloak of Senatorial
courtesy," all that part declaring that
Senatorial courtesy had became a
strench in the nostrils of the people
and a cloak to coyer up infamies being
omit t id.
The only changes made so far as
Senator Quay is concerned consists in
the elision of the word "criminal"
where it occurs in two places and the
omission of all mention of Senator
Quay by name. Where it was sug
gested in the original speech that
Judas, when he hanged himself, had
left "an example for Matt Quays that
is well worth their imitation," there
is substituted therefor the following:
"An example well worthy of imita
tion." The sentence "the Republican
party cannot afford to follow the lead
of a branded criminal"- is struck out
altogether, and later on where it was
said "he stands a convicted criminal
before the bar of public opinion," the
change is made so as to read 4he stands
convicted before the bar of public
opinion

Duplin Note From Kenansville.
As your valuable paper is taken in
all portions of Duplin county, a few
words from our village are in order.
The Messenger is growing in popular
ity every day in this county, and stands
next tq the good book with our people.
The writer has within the last few
weeks traveled through portions of
Duplin, Onslow and Pender counties.
The farnlers all along his travels are
in high spirits over the prospects for
good crops, the merchants also have
smiles on their countenances.
Your correspondent spent' last week
at the pleasant little Tillages of Duplin
Road and Willard. An extensive trade
is carried on at Duplin Road. Mrs. L.
L. Mallard and Wallace & Carr, the
leading merchants are abreast of the
times. Willard is a very delightful
kttle village acd is alive with trade;
Mr. R.T. Rivenbark carries the largest
stock.
r or xne past weeK mere nas been a
revival at the Mission Baptist church
at Willard, conducted by Revs. W. M.
Kennedy and K. Peele. Host of
the preaching was done bv Rev. Mr.
Peele and it was of a very high order.
T he congregations were large cay and
night. There was never a more har
monious revival. There were five ad
ditions to the ckurch and the candi
dates were baptized on Friday.
The generosity and kospitalitv of
the people of Willard caanot be sur
passed.
An Extra Session of Congress Probable
Cresson Springs, Pa Sept. 15
There is every reaeon to believe zthat
the President is seriously considering
the advisability of calling aa extra ses
sion of Congress. It is known that
-several prominent Republicans have
advised such a course, with the view to
an earlier consideration of the Federal
Election bill. The persons who hare
talked with the President on this sub
ject say that he will certainly recon
vene Congress if certain penditg meas
ures, in which ho takea great interest,
are not disposed of sX this session.
These include the Anti-Lottery bill,
the Supreme Court bill and the Labor
bills now in the Senate and the Postal
Shipping bill now awaitiag the action
of the House. The President is known
to be specially interested in the pas
sage of the Election bill and would
probably feel justified in calling an ex
tra session for the consideration of it
and such other important measures
now pending as may not be disposed at
this session.
A Btx Fire in Lyachburc. ,
Lvnchbubg, Va., Sept. 15. A very
destructive fire occurred here last
night. The fire was first discovered in
the battery room of the Western Union
telegraph office, and spread so rapidly
that nothing was 6aved belonging to
the office. The flames quickly spread
to the adjoining buildings and half of
the block was destroyed. The follow
ing firms were burned out: John A.
Lee, seed and fertilizer; Thomas N.
Larkin, dry goods; Lewis & Jennings,
wholesale groceries; M. Kraft, tobacco
and cigar dealer; F. A. Krockle, boots
and shoes; the Western Union tele
graph office, and E. Crump, dry goods.
The estimated total loss in buildings
anLstock will amount to $150,000. No
estimate of insurance can be made.
Frot in the West.
Palmyra, Wis., Sept. 15. The
mercury indicates sixty-five degrees
fall in temperature within three days.
Frost fell in this vicinity the last two
nights. Last week the heat was so
severe that large numbers of swine in
Sullivan township, four miles north,
died from sunstroke.

HOUSK OF UKI-UKSKNTATIVI-.H.
MrJ McKlnlev, from tho committee
on Ways and Mean, reported back the
Tariff bill with the Senato amendment
with the recommend. Ion that tt.n
amendments be non-concurred In ro-
rred to the committee of the Whole.
Mr. McKinley then offered a resolu
tion from the committee on Rule, but
before it could be read Mr. KnU of
TvnneS!ee, roK to a question of urivi-
lege. He offered the 'following resolu
tion:
l!tsAvd, That the clerk of the Houmj
of ueprescntaiivca I? uirected to com
municate to the Sen h to the fact that
the IIouo reprobates and condemns
the utterances of Hon. ltobl. P. Ken

Cfhio, delivered in the IIouo on Sep
tember 3d, reflecting uton the charac

Mr. Dlngley, of Maine, raided th
point of Order that this did not pre-ent
such a question of privilege as would
take the gentlemen from Ohio (Mr.
McKinley) from the floor.
At the suggestion of the Speaker.
Mr. Enloe withdrew his resolution for
the present, and Mr. McKinley, from

and that the House shall, without fur

ided for no debate, for this course
.ouid, at least, have had the seinblenco
directness. The right to vote on
ny separate amendment was denied
every memoer ny wiis order.
Mr. McMillen also opposed the reso-
ution and criticized the committee on
iules for reporting it. The majority
n the caucus had determined not only
htit the minority should be throttled.
ut that the Plumed Knight should be
hrottled. The resolution was then
dopted yeas, 114; nay, 72.
Mr. r lower said that the estimated
evenue for the year was $450,000,0-.
his Congress had appropriated 141,
K),000. What was the need of the
ariff bill? Why not leave the pn -
nt law as it was, with an amendment
or reciprocity which meant rwclpro-
itv, and not one of those jumping
acks.'the string of which thVPres!
