A WARM WELCOME Til EM. AWAITS The Democratic Senaf orisl Contention at Kioston last week adopted wise and timely reaolotiooa. One resolution was particularly wise and expresalre of the opinion of the Democratic party in the State. Weqnote: Rt soloed. We believe that a large ma jority of the so-calW third party men are goud, honest and patriotic citixens, who bars been led away from their Dem ocratic m Airing bv designing men, seek ing their own preferment and personal gain: and we earnestly request such guod men come to back into the Demo cratic fold, which is their natural home The natural home" of the honest, industrious men in North Carolina who want good gorernment is in the Demo cratic party. These "good, honest and patriotic citixens" hare helped to make the Democratic party what it is. They bare participated in its councils; they hare helped to name the candidates; they fought Taliantly in 1378, when the the State waa redeemed from Republican misrule; they rejoiced with as when in 83 the Democrats elected the first Demo cratic President since 185; they are with fortunate insane hare homes pro Tided at Balefgh and at Morgan ton; the last days of the old soldiers are made glad by the recognition of their services by a lori ng and appreciative generation. Peace and goodwill pervade oar State christian men occupy our 'places of trust and honor. For those who will not obey the law, a place has been provided, and the penitentiary holds within its high and strong walls those who would destroy society. All I All these things are ours without any heavy burden of taxation. 'Add to t bese my freedom of conscience, my freedom of thought,' of word and of action, 'and my perfect independence, under kind and gentle laws; and then contrast these blessings with the condi tion of any people under any other gov ernment and you" will begurto see why I am nowwhat I haTs ever been, a pure, old-fashioned - Democrat. Change our State government! No, sir! Change to what! Tb civil war as they had in South Carolina! Go threatening and breathing of fire and death as they have in Colorado? Change! and become only a nod and a shaking of the head to the peaceful people of the earth? No, sir! Never. We want no change in North Carolina." And now our third party friends visit Ransom Gully, but they are very careful not to call him out on the issues of the day. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. NORTH OAROLrNA SAID TO HAVE BETTER ADVANTAGES FOR.

Wake county Democracy is all right. Yesterday we had many bright evidences of this fact. They were to be seen in the unaminity of action and the admirable temper which characterized the conven tion from the time it opened till the last word was spoken. It was a Democratic lore feast and on every faoe and in every action of the. delegates could be seen a hearty devotion to the common cause of Democracy. It named a good ticket, one that will receive a big majority in November and will secure sound government for the county. The 1 icket is worthy of the support of every Democrat in the county. It is composed from top to bot tom of good men men who have proved their faith In Democracy and their read iness to work for it With the ticket on yesterday nominated and the platform - passed by the State convention, the conditions are enough to inspire the Democracy of Wake county to its most heroic efforts aod to insure the most significant victory for many years. But our people must work. The oppo sition is strong and determined and noth ing but continued, organized effort will win the fight. Let " Work " be the watch word from now till the 7th of November and the victory is ours. Robert M. Klvett, Formerly of Har - nett County, Shoots his Brothar-In-Law, John M. Pitts, In a Family Row Over the. Latter Wife Inter esting' Jotting- About North Caro linaPolitical Chat. Speical Cor. News and Observer. Washington, Sept 13. Robert M. Kivett, formerly of Harnett county, but who is now living in this city, last night got into a difficulty with his brother-in-law, John M. Pitta, and at tempted to kill him by .shooting him with a 88-caliber pistoL . Kivett is a conductor on the Rock Creek electric railway, and Pitts is an engineer in the employ oi the same company. Mrs. Kivett is Pitta's sister. The relationship naturally brought the two families to gether, and Pitts has for some time sus pected that Kivett's attentions to Mrs. Pitts were more than was warranted by his relationship as a brother-in-law. He was convinced that his suspicions were well grounded when a day or two ago he found -Kivett's conductor's badge near the threshold of his home on his com ing home in the morning after a night's work. Pitta's anger was aroused at this circumstance, and it is said that he threatened to kill Kivett on sight. Kiv ett was warned by some of his friends that Pitts was looking foe him, and armed himself with a 38-caUber Colts' revolver, which he carried with him. Last even ing the two men met and as Pitts ad vanced on him Kivett drew his revolver and shot him in the breast. The bullet, however, struck a suspender buckle and flattened out only slightly bruising the flesh. Kivett was arrested and was to-day bound over to court for carrying con cealed weapons. Kivett is an ex-police officer, and claims to have given Pitts no cause whatever for his suspicions. He claims to have acted in self-defense. Pitts, he says, was com ing toward him with his hand in his hip pocket when the shot was fired. mm The Washington papers are frequently t ion but they didnt mix much. Then distributed simply for ornamental pur the condition in the Second district, Mr. Poe, (ooL ) who was holding a consultation with Mr. Amis, said, it was reported that White and Cheatham both would be taken down and H. R. Grant would be nominated. He said that White proposed this to Cheatham and the proposition was being favorably, considered by Cheathom as well as by the prominent Republicans or the Second district. benator Ransom, wno is here, upon being asked how the election would be in North Carolina, he said with entire con fidence that - the Democrats would work from now. until election and would carry the State, He bad never seen them more in - earnest, more hopeful or more reso lute. - . Few North Carolinians appreciate the magnitude of the Government exhibit to be made at the Atlanta Exposition next fall. It is seldom that Congress votes an appropriation for such a purpose and Georgia is the luckiest of Southern States in this particular. Hoke Smith, Crisp, Turner, Gordon, Pat Walsh, Evan Howell, Livingston, the Constitution and Jour nal,'and all the balance of Georgia pulled strongly together, and got the bill mak ing the appropriation through both Houses. It will be the biggest Southern exhibit since New Orleans. Dr. C. W. Dabriey, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, has been appointed chair man of the Government Board by the President and will very soon organize the Board and begin preparations for a great Government exhibit and the erection of a Government building. It is fortunate for the whole South that Dr. Dabney is at the head of the Board, and particu larly fortunate for North Carolina. I had a talk with Dr. Dabney to-day in regard to the Exposition, and he said that the Atlanta Exhibition will have representatives from each of . the Executive Departments, sim lar to the exhibitions at Chicago, or they will approach the Chicago exhibitions as near as possible with the government ap propriation. The board which vrul mana&re the eovernment exhibits will be Kentucky's Chastity Cleared. poses.

E. Johnson, who has just re turned from North Carolina gives en couraging reports of the corn and to bacco crops of Davidson --county. He says they are the best ever seen in that county. He says the political condition is very encouraging and that there is little doubt but that the Democrats will win. That the speech of Hon. John S. Henderson, delivered at Lexington, was pronounced by all that heard him to be the greatest campaign speech ever made by him and that it had a greater effect upon the people than any he has ever de livered.

We are constrained to believe there are many good men, who Joined, the Popu lists from the best motives, who cannot approve the unholy coalition. They owe i to themselves, to their famuiee, and their country to "come out from among my people, and take their old places in the ranks of their old party, and help to fight the battles for relief and reform. Many will not come back, who at heart are sick of the sell-out to Mott and Jim Toung by Butler and Otbo Wilson, be cause they fear the charge of inooostst- a M ency. This tear Keeps many men irom doing their duty. It is an unworthy fear, and yet it has great weight with all men. It ought not to nave any weignt this year with "honest and patriotic citi zens" who went into the Populist party in the hope and expectation of helping to secure good government. Now that they have foand Populist pro fessions false;. most Populist leaders hypocrites and trafflcers in the right of the people for personal gain, there is no excuse for staying wherethey . . ... are, fopullst policies are ruinous ana hurtful; and longer allegiance to that party involves a sacrifice of principle and ckxe contact with men and parties who plot for the upbuilding of a few at the expense or the many now toai laeee things are apparent, the only consistent course for honest and patriotic Populists, "who favor reform more than office, is to ahake off the dust of their feet from that party, and to retake their place at which put the Populist-Republican condition in a very favorable light as to their success in the coming campaign. . Since a perfect fusion has been effected, it is reported that the Re publicans are delighted. Jeter C Pritch ard, one of the Republican nominees for the United States Senate, is quoted as saying that 50,000 white Populists have pledged themselves to vote with 120,000 Republicans in order to tear the State away from the Democrats, Marion But ler is quoted as saying that the fusion ticket will carry the State by 50,000 majority. The only thing troubling the fusionists is the negro; he is the "uncer tain quantity," but they claim to be able to manage him, though this is denied by a good many negroes themselves. Mr. George E. Lemmon, of Cary, road- master of the Raleigh ic Augusta rail road, is here looking after a patent for a railway switch which he has invented. I had a pleasant talk last night with Mr. Lawrence Gardner,- Secretary of the Democratic Congressional Executive Committee, who is in charge of the Dem ocratic headquarters in this city. - He is also Secretary of the National Conven tion of Democratic Clubs and the leading Democrat in the District of Columbia. The first time I ever saw him was at the centennial of the laying of the corner stone of the capital. At a distance he bears a striking resemblance to the President, and when he rose to speak I thought it was "the old sheriff." But closer acquaintance shows that this resemblance is very slight. I found Mr. Gardner busy dictating an interview for the itorf on the significance of the big Republican victories in Maine and Vermont; I confess that I haven't been able to extract a crumb of comfort from the returns, but Mr. Gardner wasn't the least bit depressed. "Personally," said he to the Post re porter, I feel delighted with the result, as I firmly believe it will have the same effect on the Democrats that the Demo cratic vote in 1880 had on the Republi cans. When we come to know the full returns, it looks as if it will show that there was nothing more than the fall Republican vote with its natural in crease. The Democrats in the State evi dently took no interest in the election, and failed to cast their votes, which neoessarilv has the result of showioe an is it the policy of government to confla-1 increased Republican plurality, cate their property t I "The Democrats of the United States Any man who will ask himself these e uo j questions, will be convinced that it Is a not been rainbow-chasing with the proposition born in the brain of a rain- hopes of securing any votes from either bow chaser and socialist.

We have more than once called atten tion to Senator Peffer's plan of helping the farmers by raising all Federal reve nue by a direct tax on land. ''The Popo lisU get mad when this fact is stated. At first they denied it, but since the proof was presented they simply get mad. But Mr. Peffer didn't stop with this proposition. On the 9th of July he in troduced the following resolution in the 8enate: "That all coal beds ought to be owned nd worked by the State or by the gov ernment of the United States, and the wages of all persons who work in the mines ought to be provided by law and paid in money when due." Are the farmers to be made richer by being taxed to pay the railroad com panies high prices for "all coal, beds," for most of the coal beds are owned and operated by railroads t Are the farmers to receive any benefit by paying tax to pay certain' fixed wages of workers in the mines I If it were a wise thing for the government to own and operate the "coal beds where is the money to come from to pay for them f Who is to fix the price at which they are to be bought!

The Sundry civil bill which approp riates 1200,000, provides for $50,000 to be used in erecting a building, li aesiraoie tne authorities are permitted to move the building from Chicago, if it can be done for $50,000.. This board, the chairman of which is to be appointed by the Presi dent, is charged with selecting, purchas ing, transfering, arranging, and the return of all articles, specimens etc, that the Executive Departments, Smithsonian Institute and the Fish Com mission decide to send for exhibition. Each department will be represented in the exhibition, and special attention will be given towards the exhibition of the natural resources of the country. The Agricultural Department will exhibit its workings, which will correspond to that at Chicago, though in a smaller, scale, as less money is given. The general scope will be to illustrate the workings of the department and to teach the South how to improve their farming business. There will be some collections of agricultural products intended to in terest Southern people, especially of cotton, of which there will be over 1,000 samples, in order to give the Southern people opportunity of making compari sons for their own advantage. Among these samples will be some of that silky cotton which should be introduced into this country, for last year sixty bales of this kind were imported from the east. It is necessary for the south to know this and guard against a foreign country's furnishing the United States with mate rial that could easily be produced here. There will be exhibits of tobacco. A daily weather bureau will be in working order preparing maps for the general en lightenment of the people. There will be an illustration of the manner in which the ravages of dangerous insects are pre vented with the machine and chemicals for . killing them. There will also be an exhibit of the fruit of the country, especially of South ern fruit. A small collection of injuri ous animals and birds will be presented. Crows pulling up corn for instance. The different grasses and a selection of for eign plants from the division of botany will be given. The diseases of plants, especially of cotton and the means for preventing them, will be explained, l here will be also a small collection represent ing the forestry of the South and the best method of preserving them. These will be the- principal exhibitions of the Agricultural Department. North Carolina ought io put its best foot foremost at this Exposition. Washington, September 17. - The receipts from the new tariff law seems to be satisfactory to the Treasury official. When it is working on a normal basis it is believed that the receipts will be more than sufficient returns to carry on the government The receipts for the month of September up to date amount to $12,772,000, while the expenditures are $13, 864,000. This excess is due to the fact that during the! first few days of the . month there were very heavy pension payments. The total pension payment thus far amounts to $7,515,000. Another reason for the excess of expendi tures is because there is vno revenue be ing received from the whiskey tax, and because nothing is being received from the income tax, or from the sugar duty. It is believed that by the close of the year there will be sufficient revenues to meet the expenditures of the government with out including the income tax or the sugar duty. - s - A negro by the name of Poe, who is from the fifth district, and who has been in the war department here, hut was de prived of his position about a month ago, said he was going to North Caro lina and stump the - district for Col. Rufus Amis.. He ; says he will open bis campaign speeches on the 24th at Oxford. He says also that he will carry with him two other negroes, formerly from North Carolina, but now in Wash ington, who will also work for Amis. Their names are James D. Hill, and Joseph H. Richardson. " Settle, Poe said, sent for him twice while here, but there were no dealings at all between the two. They can't agree. . Washington, September 18. , Mr. F. L. Fuller, of Durham, an ex member of the Legislature from that county is in the city. He says that the Populist convention held in Durham Saturday clearly shows that they intend to come to the Republicans, or are pre paring the way for the Republicans to come to them for they hold their conven tion next Saturday. One proof that the Populists and Republicans are going to fuse is that the nominee for sheriff, that was placed on the ticket Saturday is a Republican out and out. W. G. Vickers, Mr. Fuller says, was a Democrat until this last June when he was de feated for the position of superintendent of Public Instruction, and being disap pointed, he, went to the Populists to wreak vengeance upon the party that failed to honor him last June. He was, however, the second choice of the Popu lists, Rev. Mr. Massey being the first But Mr. Massey is like Rev. Mr. Martin, of the Sixth district, in one respect. He has had instructions from on high, but different instructions from his brother in the Sixth district. He has been warned to stay out of politics, he says he had this warn ing two years ago, even before he was defeated, and now he cannot go in the field. He is going to obey the warning. It has been predicted that he would be the Populist nominee for Congress, Mr. Fuller says, but if he follows the instruc tion of that small voice , that has been calling to 'him so long he will not be a candidate. Mr. Fuller says, there is a great dif ference in Durham county between fusion theoretically, and fusion practi cally. He says there is little doubt but that the former case will be effected next Saturday, butdt will fall far short of be ing practical fusion. He says the county is safe whether they fuse in a convention or whether they do not. The Close of a Naaxeous Story, Which Retires tae Chief Character to the Shades of Private Life. Lexington, Sept.

Walter Peak, a strong Owens worker, inside the booth, preparing an affidavit, Desha spoke to him through the window and told him to come out Peak replied that he would not come out, and Breckin ridge went in the booth after him. The two men clinched, but were separated. Peak soon afterward came out when Brecken ridge met him the second time and a lively little fight followed. Both men had their faces scratched, several blows being passed. Each one had a pistol on his person, but they were separated before they had a chance to draw their weapons. ' Owens won his victory to-day by superb organization. At every precinct his voters were on hand early and forced the voting. ' This news spread over the district and had a wonderfuly discourag ing effect on the Breckinridge people. Some of to-day's happenings have been amusing, others dramatic and in one or two instances there has been a deeply touching picture in the panorama of events. At a down-town precinct this morning. Capt. B. J. Tracy, President of the Owens club, and his son-in-law, James C. Rog ers, clerk of the circuit court, were ranged upon opposite sides in the duty of challenging votes. Both these men are prominenthorsemen, known all over the United States. They have been intimate friends for years but the bitterness of this contest has. perhaps, disturbed the peace of their families forever. Several Shouse, of Versailles, sent up thousands of flaming dodgers in which he denounced the Owens men as " infamous liars for spreading a report that he had advised Settle's supporters to vote for the candi date from Scott The prayer meeting advertised to take place at Morrison Oiapl this morning at 11 o'clock was attended by sixty of the best ladies in Lexington.

The Fusionist, with a large number of colored people, rushed to the grove and took a position so they could whoop for Linney. Bower led off in an able speech of an hour and a quarter, showing that he and his colleagues had retained their pledges as far as possible. It was well rooeived and heartily applauded throughout.

Dr. H. M. Smith, of the. Fish Com mission, in preparing his report, for the past year in regard to the distribution of fish, says that North Carolina waters are suitable to the growth of almost every kind of fish. That while a good many of the fish found there now are native to North, Carolina waters. Several have been introduced that are of con siderable value. He says the commis sion is putting back into the waters fish that have almost become extinct in North Carolina, due to so much fishing. The shad he says is a native fish and is naturally more abundant in North Caro lina streams than in the streams of any other State, Last year there were put into Yadkin river 419,000, in Neuse river 403,000, in Lumber river 889,000 and in Pasquotank river 429,000. Making a total of 1,640,000 shad the government placed in North Carolina in order to in crease the supply. - When these are turned loose they are all the way in size from . four to twelve inches. An other fish very abundant in North Caro lina is the carp. This was originally a European fish, but is now found almost in any of the waters of the United States. Last year there were only 1,231 carp sent to North Carolina and these were to private individuals, the public waters being well filled. The Rainbow Trout is another imported fish, being a native of the Rocky Mountains." This kind is very valuable as a. food fish as well as a game. There , were distributed last year in Buck's . Creek. 15,000; in Lineviile River, 760; in -the Bwan nanoa, 500; in Sugarfork Run, 800; Ooona Lupton, 5,000 (four months old); in Jonathan Creek, 800 and in Long Branch (Black : Mountain) 800.: These were all, with one exception, a year old.

The great Pearson-Barnes-Populist-Republican combination which was advertised to appear here to-day to annihilate Hon. W. T. Crawford failed to carry out its pro gram. Barnes did not appear. He came to Marion with Pearson yesterday but has not been seen since. When opening his speech today Craw ford ' asked the sheriff to call W. S. Barnes. There was not response. Craw ford utterly vanquished Pearson in the discussion, which covered two and a half hours. . Pearson's suffering under Craw ford's castigation was almost pitiable. Rutherford is safely Democratic by an increased majority. - There was a great crowd present. IREDELL POLITICS. Democrats and Populists Nominate Legislative TicketsMaJ. Robbias in Statesville.

Cant. .Tracev had determined to challenge every Breckinridge vote. He had blanks already prepared, and upon these he had written the names of the entire list of the Congressman's sup porters in the precinct. As each man offered to vote the Captain handed in to the election officers the printed challenge and then a furious wrangle followed His son-in-law, Rogers, undertook to re taliate oy challenging all of Owens's fol lowers, and the voting was delayed in manv instances for half an hour while the enraged men fought it out. At half past one o'clock this afternoon the first personal encounter occurred. It was at precinct D, second ward, and the, participants were esna- recKmnuge, the colonel's Bon and J. Walter Peak, secretary of the Owens club. The trouble occurred on the challenge of a vote Peak had entered the polling place by permission of the officers and was pro ceeding to make an affadivit when young Breckinridge appealed in a boisterous manner that no man had a right to enter the nrecinct room. Peak paid no atten tion until Breckinridge told him to come out. Then a war of words! followed and finally Breckenridge rushed through the door and attacked reak. iacn re ceived a few blows and Breckenridge during the melee attempted to draw his pistol, t Officers and bystanders inter fered and a shooting was prevented. Both men were taken in charge by their friends but tonight they are looking for each other. In precinct B, first ward, M ike Monehan and John Hafey, attemp ted to bulldoze the Owens men when J D. McNamarc and his brother Edward beean fiehtinz them. Monahan's bead was badly beaten and William Calvert, another Breckenridge man, was badly injured with a rock. Two brothers had a desperate fight at one of the polling places this afternoon. Ernest Cassidy is an active Owens man, while Leslie Cassidy is a strong suppor ter of Settle. They became involved in a quarrel and Leslie Cassidy was very badly hurt. He was cut with a knife in the hands of his brother and taken to the family home. On the main street in front of the Phoenix hotel, thislmorning an express messenger who has always been a strong 'Breckinridge man was on his way to the polls when he was met by his aged mother -who, with tears in her eyes, begged him not to vote for the ''brazen libertine as she called tne congressman. The boy promised and one more vote was made for Owens. Col. Breckinridge was himself one of the first to vote. He lives m the Third ward and as he approached the polls the crowd fell back and some of his friends cheered faintly. The Colonel bowed most graceful acknowledgments and then put m a lot for himself. ' No general effort was made in Lexing ton to enforce the rule : requiring the voters to take an oath to support the nominee. In some parts of the district, this was insisted upon and numerous quarrels resulted. At Paris where the General Ezeldal.Clay had declared that if anv man challenged his vote there would be blood shed, some of the officers of election enforced and others ignored the injunction issued by Judge CantreH The streets to-day were strewn with proclamations, announcements and vari ous public statements from each of the candidates or their managers. Samuel . Bower replied in ten miuutes and yanked the tough hide from the sigzag Congressional nspirant in handsome style. Ltnncy rose to make hw rejoinder or. ten minutes and was soHtung that be be gan to mate a statement wrucn uower denounced as an infamous tie. Linney cursed Bower and the latter struck at him, but friends rushed bet ween and the only blood spilt resulted from a slight lick Bower gave Linney on the cheek. A serious row was narrowiy avoiuuu. They; however, shook handrf made up and Linney finished his peech calmly. He did not refer again to the objectiona ble statement, i He's a "Platform" Politician. Among the local colored celebrities of of the capital city is Col. John Ltley, formerlyot Black River, Harnett county. John is a huge, black diamond siecimen of his race. If the balance of his physique was large in proortion to his feet he would weigh nigh on to 400 pounds, but he don't quite weigh that much. His honesty of character and his fidelity to his , duties will be admitted when it is remembered that he has leen the porter, hostler, market man, etc.r for Mr. E. B. Barbee for about fifteen years.' He wears a number thirteen shoe, made on a capi tal M last, at.d a number 6J bat, and says that Mr. Barbee's cloths fits him to a t, except his shoes are too small and his hat too big. John's brains are not in his feet, however, but underneath that number 6J hat there is lots of good, home sense. He is a Republican. John is, and as be expresses it, he "stan's squar on de Pub lican flatform. 'What do you think of fusion" j asked a reporter yesterday ss John was Causing down the street wim a maritei asket on one arm and a string of squealing chickens on the other.
