t
will be unanimous; this great outpour

in this contest, but let well enough
alone.

WHTOT?
The Prople and the Many Workers Who
Strove In Behalf of Anglo-Saxon Rule
ShouJd Have Some Recognition.
To the Editor of The Tel eram:
There is a very readable ard sensi
ble article in oSof the p- ominent
daily papers of t&e- St.ate, which we
commend to an ImpatiUl and critical
public. It is to the effect that when
Vance rescued the State in 1876, he got
credit for it, and was rewarded accord
ingly, and the qutton is asked why is
not Aycock who made one of the most
brilliant campaigns ever made in the
State entitled to some credit for the
Victory?. Some peopl are bold enough
to think that Bob Glenn, LeeOverman,
Dan Hugh McLean, Alfred M. Wad
dell, Thos. J. Jarvis, Lock Craig,
Frank Osborne, and other tireless and
indefatigable workers had nothing to
do with theresultsof tbeect'on, others
have thetenerity to renturetheopinion
that there were a great many other
white men in the State who contribu
ted largely tothe result. Some say
that even Gen. Carr made speeches and
spent his money toward the result, yet
there are those who seem to think that
because Mr. Simmons was Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, a mere Incident in his life, that, he
is, therefore, entit'ed to ail the. cr dit
for the victory, and therefore entit'ed
to the Scbatorship. rWe don't knqw
of another iustance where the Chair
man of the State Exe(Jutive Committee
claimed a right to. the highest office
within the gift of the people for the
successful result of a,n election, and
especially so when that result was ac
complished by the eloquence of our
greatest speakers and the patriotism
of the people. This; last election was
the voice of the people in behalf of
Anglo-Saxon rule, and it would have
been the same whether we had a chair-
man. or not. So lt aeek other ana
better reasons in behalf of Mr. Sim-
moD8. INO aouot mere are owners, dui
this should not be paramount and con
clusion. Gen. Carr has many claims
on the people which might likewise be
considered in this connection.

Mill Trouble Will Not Effect Kitchin.

Alamance will effect Mr. W. W.
Kitchin'8 chances of relection to Con

of Mr. Joyce. We do not think there
is any truth in the impression. In the

RICE WILL CASE CLEARED UP
CONFESSION, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Chas. F. Jones, the Millionaire's Talet,
Clears up the Mystery He and Patrick
Killed Rice and Then Forged His Name
For Big Auiouutsand Made a Fraudulent
Will.
By Wire to The Telesrram.
New York, Nov. 1. Chas. F. Jones,
the valet of the'late millionaire Kice,
cut his throat in the Tombs prison
this morning at 4 o'clock. He was
taken to Belie vue Hosp'ital, where ' he
is closely watched bjr two keepers.
The surgeons say he will probably re
cover. A few hours before the attempt to
kill himself Jones made a full confes
sion that he and Patrick killed Rice
with poison, and then forged his name
to a fraudulent will, and to checks on
various banks to the extent of three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
When led back to the Tombs Jones told
everything. 'Pat-ibk," he said,
"drew a penknife from his pocket and
gave it to me, saying, 'The best thing
you can do is to take this and cut
your throat. ' So I went to my sell and
tried to kill myself."
Whole Family Narrowly Escaped Suffoca
tion. By Wire to The Telesrram.
New York, Nov. 1. Peter Saerren
son, his wife, and five children nar
rowly escaped suffocation this morn
ing by escaping gas in an apartment
house at Williamsburg. They went to

was getting up irom the bed, and dis
covered the whole family suffering.
Only by timely aid they recovered.

arach, a merchant who was cut by fly
ing glass from the Tarrant fire, died
this morning. He is the first known
victim, the supposed human fragments
found having been discovered to be

WIIiIi TAKE CARE. SAYS JONES.
The Fight Has Been Won for Democracy,
and the Democrats WiU Not be Cheated
out of the Victory "Throw Those Fellows
Out."
Chicago, 111., Oct. 31. Senator Jones
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, speaking of Croker's ren
cent suggestion that "Democratic vo
ters congregated about the polling
places on the evening of election day
count numbers, then if the election re
turns for Bryan do not tally with their
count, go ioto the polling places and
throw these fellows in charge of the
returns into the street," said:
that suggestion. '
"Senator Hill, I believe, suggested
a baseball bat as being peculiarly
appropriate to render justice in a cor
rupt election. In my opinion, the best
way is for Democrats to be at the polls
when they are opened and to remain
there in good, strong relays until the
count is completed. It should be the
duty of these Democrats to watch the
judges and the count, and to see to it
that no fraud is committed, and if fraud
is attempted to stop it then and there.
"The Democratic party is opposed to
violence, but at the same time I feel
warranted in saying that Democrats
fully intend to reap the fruit3 of their
victory. If intimidation is attempted
at the polls or fraudulent counting by'
election judges, there will be Demo
crats in the vicinity ready to take just
such action as may be necessary to
stop it.
There will be neither intimidation
at the polls, ballot box stuffing nor
fraudulent counting this year. If eith-
L er is attempted it will be stopped there
and then. And if any one gets hurt in
this process of prevention I hope it will
not be the honest men who is doing his
duty fairly and well. The Democrats
have make an honest campaign. We
have appealed to the heads and hearts
of the American people. We have won
the fight and by heaven we will not be
defrau4ed out of lour victory by the
chicanery of election judges. If our
Republican friends will be honest there
will be no trouble, bat intimidation at
the polls or attempted .dishonesty grjttt
be met with such methods as may be
A STRONG MAN GROWN WEAK
The Honorable Josiah Turner Made au
Speech in the Court House. Xast Night.
STesterd ay afternoon an old gentle
man with long whitehair,and a face that
would secure second Jook anywhere,
came to town. He wore an old time
beaver stove pipe hat and carried a
large rough cane. A little befora
dusk he had printed and put out
2000 of the following hand bills:
"Hon Josiah 'Turner, Jr., falsely
known as the King of the Ku-Klux,
will speak.in the court house, tonight
at 8:30 o'clock."
Until this was issued no one except
the old friends whom he would now
and then meet seemed to know him,
and no one at all knew why he was
here nor what he expected to speak
about. He must have wandered aim
lessly from his home near Hillsboro.
He would only say that he didn't ex
pect to make the speech that the crazy
woman at Smithfield court asked him
to make for her when he first appeared at
the bar there. Then he would tell this
story, which all his old friends ap
peared to have often heard before.
Finally, about 9 o'clock, after much
ringing of the bell, a handful of people,
both white and black, had assembled
through cu'-iosity at the court house.
He got up to announce that he wo uld
not speak to so small a crowd, but in
stead of quitting,' kept on talking in
a rambling way of his experiences and.
recollections of twenty-five and thirty
years ago, and back before the war.
His mind seemed to dwell mostly upon
the war and its causes, and he de-
nounced Thomas Jefferson as respon
sible for it, along with Jeff D avis.
All this was as foolishness to the
younger .men who heard him, as he
spoke in detail of the less well tnown
fact of history. Verily it was all as
a voice from the tomb, for the old man
spoke as if the occurrences wer4 all
yesterday. He spoke at least an hour
and a half. '
There fs nothing so sad as the spec
tacle of a- strong' mah; growri weak. '
Such was this. But now and then
even, there were flashes, as lightning;
from the darkness, which7 told what
this man once was in the day when he
was a power in the land.

4'You talk about your cold feet I
saw a couple the night of the Fite
Ruhlin fight that gave me a cold for
a week," said the barkeeper in a Ia
Salle street wet goods house to a Chi
cago Chronicle man.
"Did they give you lung trouble?'
put in a customer.
"No, but they made me feel like the
ice manor a frosty morning in Spits
bergen."" "That was cold. How did it. come
about?"
"Well, you see, we have a ticker in.
here and during the fight got the
rounds as they were pulled off. Early
during the game a man drifted in?
here and took up. a position before
the ticker. He was seated and had
his eyes glued to the ticker all the
while.
' 'Whoop!' he yelled as the sixth
round was over. 'I've won nearly $5,
000,' and he started for the bar
where he. counted out his betting
tickets. In addition he had several
hundred dollars in cash, for which he
had been unable to find takers."
"What happened then?" the cus
tomer asked.
"He bought a glass of buttermilk,
and slipped out."
