THE COUNTY CANDIDATES.
The Opening Day of the CanvaJA at
Hodgln'5 Store.
On yesterday we drove out to Hod
gins' Store, in Sumner township, to
attend the opening of the political ball
in this county. Sumner is a strong
republican precinct, but there was a
very small attendance at the speaking
yesterday.
The candidates for county offices
merely announced themselves. They
were allowed five minutes each, but
none of them consumed the time. Mr.
Stratford, the fusion candidate for
register of deeds, asked to be allowed
more than five minutes in order to
make a few statements in regard to his
candidacy. He was granted the priv
ilege, and when he finished he bad been
speaking just four minutes and thirty
seconds. But he got in his statements,
which were to the effect that he believed
all republicans were going to vote for
him and that the populists were going
to support the republicans. In other
word, he believes fusion will fuse.
When the turn of the legislative
candidates came around Mr. Brad
shaw, republican candidate for the
senate made the first speech He dwelt
at considerable length upon his gold
bug career and boasted of the fact
that he remained a gold-bug when the
democratic party deserted, as hi
claimed, those principles. "We asked
Mr. Stratford how he liked that and
he said: "Oh, that's all right." We
take that to mean that Mr. Stratford,
as the head of the populist party,
thinks more of a gold-bug republican
than he does of a free silver democrat.
Mr. Wilson, the democratic candi
date for the senate followed in a vig
orous speech of thirty minutes in
which he showed that he is more than
a match for Mr. Bradshaw. The re
joinders of the two men were more
spirited and in a few more days the
joint discussion promises to become
more intensely interesting.
Then followed Messrs. Kennett and
Douglas, both making half hour
speeches and ten minute rejoinders.
Kennett makes a splendid speech and
talks in an earnest straightforward
manner, calculated to win votes.
Douglas corre out stronger than any
other republican speaker. He ridi
culed the democratic cry of negro
domination and said that the demo
crats appointed 107 negro magistrates
several years ago, but he did not tell
the people that it was done through
republican treachery and that it was
done by republican members of the
legislature whom the democrats al
lowed to name men in their own coun
ties. He did not tell the people that
the democrats thought they were white
men, and that when the democrats
found out that they had been tricked
it was never done again. Douglas
vehemently declared he was in favor
of white supremacy and that he was
opposed to negroes holding office.
There were only two or three negroes
present. We challenge Mr. Douglas
to make that identical speech before a
republican audience in Greensboro.
By this time it was getting late and
Capt. Bunch and Capt. Forbis only
made short speeches. Today the can
didates spoke at Pleasant Garden.
THE LARGEST YET.
Mrs. Sol. Weill to Erect a Building
For Merchants Qrocery Co.
Mrs. Sol. Weill has decided upon
the plan of the building she will erect
by the side of the one being built for
the Simpson-Shields Shoe Co., and
it will be a credit to the city. It will
be the largest business house in
Greensboro being 150 feet long by 31i
feet wide and five stories high, with a
cellar in the rear, making this part
six stories. The building has already
been leased for a term of five years to
the Merchants' Grocery Company who
will move into it as soon as comple
ted. This building is to be fifty feet
longer and six feet wider than the
Simpson Shields Shoe Company's,
though otherwise the plans of the
building will be the same. The front
of both will be entirely of granite cut
in different shapes making a lovely
front. The Merchants' Grocery Co.,
and the Simpson-Shields Shoe Co.
are two of our largest and busiest
wholesale houses and have come to
stay and grow. We congratulate
both of them together with Mrs. Weill.
The Central Land Company through
their agents return thanks to the citi
zens of Greensboro who attended the
Lot Sale yesterday. Prices were low,
but the land is for sale.

WILL NOT ASSUME DEBT,
Demands Presented In Threaten
ing Words.
CRISIS ABOUT TO BE REACHED.
Judge Day Instructed to Demand
The Entire Surrender of
Porto Rico Today.
London, Oct. 18 A dispatch to a
London newspaper agency from Paris
says:
"Today, ( Monday ), the conference
reached a crisis for the first time.
Judge Day presented the demands of
the Americans in threatening words,
lie Bald that delay was the only pos
sible object attainable by the persis
tent efforts of the Spanish commis
sioners to saddle the United States
with the Cuban debt, and it would be
tolerated no longer, while the United
States would neither assume nor
guarantee any rart of the debt.
"The Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in a position of repudi
ating or of reducing the face value of
the Cuban bonds from 60 to 50 per
cent, paying only half the -stipulated
interest on the reduced value. Before
they would adopt either alternative
they would surrender to the United
States the entire Philippines.
"Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would prob
ably be demanded irrespective of the
Cuban or any other debt.
This, to the Spaniards the first inti
mation of the intentions of the United
States as to the Philippines, resulted
in a whispered conference, followed by
a request for an adjournment in order
to communicate with Madrid. Judge
Day said that President McKinley had
instructed him to demand the entire
surrender of Porto Rico to-morrow
(Tuesday), and the delivery of every
town to the United States officers be
fore midnight, together with the evac
uation of Havana, on or before No
vember 1st, when the United States
would be at the gates of the . city ,
ready to take possession.
"There was no alternative offered in
the case of either of these demands,
and the session consequently was very
brief. The American commissioners
have received dispatches from Wash
ington, indicating that the adminis
tration is irritated and indignant over
the delay of the Spanish commission
ers." The Paris correspondent of the Times
says :
"At the sitting ot the peace commis
sion this ( Monday ) afternoon the
American commissioners officially
and it would seem definitely rejected
the idea of accepting sovereignty over
Cuba for the United States."

NOTES FROM HIGH POINT.
The Local News From Our Neighbor
Briefly Told.
Telegram Bureau, i
High Point. N. C, Oct. 18, '98.
Don't fail to hear Mr. Yonan, a na
tive Persian, tomorrow night at the
Presbyterian church, on the people
and customs of his native land.
Prof. Gentry'6 famous Dog and
Pony show gave two splendid exhibi
tions here yesterday afternoon and
night. The show was eveything it
was advertised. It was clean in every
respect. There was no gambling
games connected with it. Should they
ever show here again, their tent would
not hold the people. They left last
night for Winston.
Our Second regiment boys who are
here on furloughs which would
have expired tomorrow, are pleased
at the orders from headquarters, that
their furloughs have been indefinitely
extended.
The negro Robert Morton, who
knocked Officer Burns down yesterday
while he had another- negro, Fred
Adams under arrest, was carried to
jail last night by Chief of Police Ben
nett after a preliminary hearing by
Mayor Bradshaw. Adams was fined
and discharged. Willis Burns and
"Spiky" Cosby, the barbers, who had
a scrap yesterday afternoon were
tried before the mayor and fined.
The second meeting of the Demo
cratic Club of High Point Township
was held last night in the Masonic
Hall. After the meeting was called to
order by President Dodamead,the "Old
North State" was sung by the club,
and the minutes of the last meeting
were read by the secretary and ap
proved. At the first meeting of the
club every member was requested to
respond to his name last night with at
least one new memher, and every mem
ber that was present brough from one
to six new members. Of course, sev
eral members who attended the show
in the afternoon were absent, but every
man that was absent sent word to the
club that he would not fail to be pres
ent at the next meeting. The roll was
increased to 223. Many short and in
teresting speeches were made by the
members ; among the number was
Lewis Harris, the obliging little
Jew, who said: " Senz I lef de
ole countries an' bene made a
seetazen of dese countries it hez been
enjoyment to me to be mit so many
goot peoples. I ese glad to be a mem
ber of dis democratic club." (Great
applause. )
Two of the best talks made were by
men who were rocked in republican
cradles and who have now seen the er
ror of their way. The father of one
of these men has been a republican of
fice holder for a number of years, but
he said he oould no longer support
him. There were three of these con
verts and not one of them could be
called a turncoat, for they are not
seeking offices. The club appointed
five men for each precinct as challenge
committees. It was also decided that
the entire club go in a body to the big
barcue at Thomasville next -Saturday
and to secure the High Point band to
go with them. They will meet again
on Thursday or Friday night to decide
more definitely on the club attending
the big barbecue. The club will " go
in two squads, one ahorse, the other
awheel. f
