He went direct to Populist headquarters and was in consultation , with chairman Ayer most of the afternoon. Mr. Guthrie is fust from Edenton, where bespoke Wednesday at the congressional convention. Maj. Guthrie says that Harry Skinner's nomination for con; gress was unanimous, and nioreover that he received the endorsement of the Republican Congressional Com mittee which was in session there the same " day. Mr. Theopholus White was nominated as elector. The Senatorial convention;' also ad ded tp the gaiety of the -town that day; Mr. Winbottrne was nominat ed as one of the Senators and the other was left vacant. Maj. Guthrie will open his cam paign Tuesday, at Roxboro. He will speak for Bryan and Watson and dwell at length upon national and State affairs. Chairman Ayer received Chair man Manly's reply, late yester day afternoon- accepting "the former's invitation for a joint dis cussion between Messrs Guthrie and Watson. After consultincr with Major Guthrie today, Chairman Ayer made answer to Mr. Manly's last communication, in which he states that Major Guthrie can not con sent to any restriction of campaign issues, but that he invites a free and full discussion upon all subjects and insists that both speakers be allowed to discuss any and all is- u'es, if they see fit. . There was some suggestion of limiting discussion to certain sub jects in Chairman Manly's reply, and to this Chairman Ayer dissents. Ae states that Maj. Guthrie and Mr, Watson are members of opposing po litical parties, both canvassing for the same office, and that necessarily their speeches must be on a different line. ' ' -, .

Alford Standa t'pon the Keeord of Our Forefathers. Kditor Press-Visitor: Feeling the great responsibility now restingon all patriotic citizens understand the true source of American liberty k. I beg leave, through your columns, for a few -words more. There is no such thing as liberty without truth truth undefiled is light which came from Godt exemplified fully before man, through our Lord and Savior Himself, on whicb'wo stand as a na tion and all American institutions have stood. We can see by a brief examination of our history since the Christian Reformation brought about by Martin Luther, tha.t every great principle which underlies us .. . . ' as tne greatest nanon on rarw spring from that reformation the freedom-f worship, which embraces freedom of speech and press, came through Lord Baltimore, Roger Williams and other persecuted Christians since 1492. I beg you, my friends to inform you rselves be fore casting your ballot in November next Roger Williams, after being ex iled from Salem, Mass., was for fourteen weeks wandering in . the wilderness among"' the Indians in midwinter for preaching the free dom of the soul." Hon. A. H, Steph ens says in his United States His tory 'of Willingham, Constitution for the government of his settlement at Providence; that said Constitu tion, written by Williams himself, evinced statesmanship of the high est order. ' ' . (.' ,' i Williams said himself: By God's merciful assistance I was, the ; pro- ouror, bt the purchase! not by money nor payments, the motives Being so shy and; jealous that money couia not do it, but by that-languago, ac quaintance and favor with the na tives and other advantages wb ioh It Dleased God to fclve me. Who is the. true American citizen? I would say he who is patriotic con servatlve and adheres to the funda mental principles. We can not build a new building on the same founda tion while the oldene stands, neither can We make a new foundation under the old building. It this is a re public we have a foundation, which underlies it Our fathers were the architects. . - They were governed by such rules of archeteowre as was handed down from their fathers who were namely: Luther,Baltimore and Williams. No other fouudation for a government of the people and by the people has ever been discovered by man. No man can be an American patriotic citizen who would remove this foun dation on a mere unfounded belief. Allow me to assert here, that the proposition to enact into the laws of this country the free and unlimited coniage of silver at the ratio of lb' to 1, independent of all other nations, under the circumstances now exist ing is a departure from the funda mental principles or truth on which this government stands and canTiot be considered otherthan dangerous, even anarchistic. What are you to do with this charge, i:v;4vti.,'.r Continued vigilance is the price of liberty. -All ' blessings for the good of man have come through pre caution and great sacrifice. Give us the true foundation, with out which we could not stand. The same truths which guided Luther, Baltimore and Williams as was handed on down to Jefferson and Hamilton. Those were were the principles developed in the de claration of Independence of 1776, and all along the line by our fathers and engrafted in our fundamental laws by Jefferson and Hamilton. They say in the estabfishment of the mints the amount of silver to be but in a dollar was a commercial prob lem and virtually to be come at by an agreement with other nations. This was the construction of the founders. Who can now truthfully say,' "I have the truth stamped in my heart," and can cast his ballot, to stamp on a piece of pver, as an International coin, a Jie"when weighed in the balances of well established Chris tian nations of the world. A lie can not be the truth, therefore nothing good can stand on a lying founda tion. No nation need expect to stand as a Christian civilized nation, who departs from Christian truths. May God send us sTich missionaries as we now need, is my prayer. G. B. Alkord. TODAY'S MARKETS. Cotton Closed 17 to 27 points niBiiv-i man Yesterday's Closing Prices. Nbw Yoek, August 21.

Clear Rib Sides-September, .2T , A PROPOSITION MADE. Hutler Proposes Terms Winch He Knows Can't Be Accepted. The Richmond Dispatch, of today contains the following from its Washington correspondent. from which it will be seen, if true that Mr. Butler is throwini; out a bait for fusion in North Carolina which he kiflhvs the Democrats can not ac cept if they have a vstij of silf respect left: Wahhinoto.n, Aug. 21. The indi cations now are that the statement in this correspondence yesterday, in effect foreshadowing the elimina tion of Watson as a combination vice-presidential, candidate, is al ready substantially established all-day caweusingyesterday bet weo Chairmen Jones, Faulkner and But ler developed a deal that virtually disposes of Watson, and proposes a political deal in North Carolina that will create a more than ordinary. po litical sensation in that State. As the story is pretty authenti cally related, Butler refused to en tertaiu the Democratic elecloral fusion proposition in North Caro lina until the question of congres sional and State fusion was settled. To Messrs. Jones and Faulkner he is reported to have said there were three revolting elements in the State. There were Fusion Populists, Silver Republicans, and Fusion Democrats. Together and united these elements can sweep the State. Divided, either on the State, congressional, or electoral-tickets, the State will be lost to silver. To meet this exigency he submit- tsd a complete ticket, ignoring all political antecedents embracing the Populists, Republicans and Demo crats, and making silver and the election of Bryan the supreme and the only issue of the campaign. He assured the two Democratic leaders that there were a large number of influential Populists in the State who would not support electoral fusion with th TJemocro, rrrn at tne ex pense of defeating Bryan, and that the one certain way to overcome the difficulty was a complete ticket head ed by a Populist for Governor, a fair division of the congressional ticket, the electoral vote of the State to Bryan. That the proposition is favorably entertained is more a matter of in ference than authorized statement. Following it were numerous friendly and satisfactory caucuses, including Senator Butler's chummy and spec tacular trip to the railroad station with .Senator Jones, who left in the afternoon for Chicago. The single hitch in the proposed deal, it seems, is the extent of the recognition to be given the silver Republicans. Butler insists that Dr. Mott shall be suitably recognized, in addition to the nomination of Dockery as Lieutenant Governor on the Popu list State tfeket. Mott is a candidate for United States Senator to succeed Senator Pritchard, and Senator But ler, urgently backed by the national silver committee, through Commit mitteeman Stevens, is supporting his candidacy. Silver Republicans in the State are not numerous, and if any concession is made to that ele ment it will be the nomination of young Mott (who practically bolted the St. Louis convention) for Con gress in the Eighth District. BRYAN'S LETTER. lie Is Busy Preparing His I ormel Ac ceptance. By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Bahbytown, Aug. 21. Thismorn- ing Mr. Bryan began work on his letter of acceptance.

He will probably leave upper Red Hook Monday morning iu order to reach Winnesook Lodge the same afternoon and will go direct to Al bany from the Catskills. Mr. Bryan was shown a mQrning paper today which reported Croker's endorse ment of the Chicago ticket. He said he was gratified to find so many east earn Democrats falling into line. He added that before the campaign closed he expected the co-operation of all Democrats except those whose pecuniary interest may be better advanced by the gold standard. In regard to the statement that Dan forth had said Hfll was for Bryan, he said today he hadheanl nothing about it.

Senator uuiier oiscussett Bourke Cookran's speech at length this morning. He was quite caustic in some comments. He said the speech would be a boomerang.

McKinley worked from 11:30 this morning till 4 this evening on his letter of acceptance. Major McKinley inaij- many changes and corrections on the proof sheets, sometimes cutting a whole sentence, and in other places adding a para graph. The letter will be finished by the end ot the week if Major Mc Kinley does not have too many in terruptions. He does not expect to publish his letter before the end of the month, so he feels that there is no reason to be in hastejabout finish ing it. Dirt h Jay Fete by the "Waif-Saving Circle'.
