- Hos.v Cebment ' Manly, , Chairman
j-' Democratic Executive Committee.
Dear Sir; Immediately upon the
receipt of your communication dated
.... October 13th', 1896, enclosing a reso
lution embodying a proposition for.
co operation by and between thjB
.' Democratic party . and the peoples'
- . party, I 'summoned by telegraph the
' members of tbe State Executive
Committee of the Peoples' party to
; : meet in Raleigh on October 14th,
!t 1896, at 8 o'clock p. m. A large ma
jority of the committee responded
by their presence, and the proposi
' . tion of your central committee was
laid before them. I desire to assure
' .' you that earnest tfud protracted con
" - sideratioQ was given to the proposi
- . Hon of your central committee, and
I am instructed by pur State com
mittee to transmit to you the follow,
ing reply. " . - r -'
First When the proposition, for
electoral co-operation was submitted
. to our chairman by your committee
op Augustlst, 1896," our committee
submitted a counKf-proposjtion,
'' looking to a complete - And compact
I union of the silver forces all along'
'the line, but said proposition - was
w ignored by your committee. - .-,.--;'
- Sacond Should such .a co opera-,
. V tion as is suggested and contem
plated In yourproposltlon ot Octo-
berl3th,be favorably considered
by our committee at this time, wo
'are of the opinion that, owing to tl.o
short time before the election sati;
. factory arrangements andalignmeat
' could not be effected on either side;
- and therefore would' not receive
such hearty and loyal Support -as
- would make -r suecess on assured
fiiot. ' ' . . . .- ? : '
Third We entertain no hope of
being ableCto make you a proposi
tfon which would be acceptable to
you and at the same time be . sua-
tained by the full force of both the
Democratic and Peoples parties, but
we venture a suggestion here; which
If adopted by you, would eliminate
at leaut oqe of the . dangers which
you declare is menaciog the State,
vhs: The election of the .Republican
nominee for Governor..; This sug
gestion is the voluntary withdrawal
of your nominee for Governor, and
the concentration ot the. Democratic
forces on the nominee of the peoples
party for Governor. We are en
couraged to make, this suggestion
by the following declaration in the
State Democratic platform of 1896:
to-witfr . : ,
"We. declare our belief that the
peace, prosperity and- bappfness of.
the people of North Carolina depend
on the defeat of the Republican State
ticket in the, coming election."
Yoijrs very truly,
Hal W. Ater,
Chairman P, P. State Ex, Com, .
Chairman "Ayer stated that the
meeting was vety "interesting and
harmonious, being free from' bicker
ingS,kiokiug or anything of the kind.
The committee, he-said, ' exer
cised great patience and afforded
the two gentlemen who differed
with the majority full opportunity
to express their views. Messrs.
Hoover and Stratford dissented.
They essentially desired o make a
counter-proposition with a view of
having our candidate for Governor
endorsed."- - :
Senator Hoover, would only state
that he and Mr: Stratford dissented
from the reply and that they opposed
closing negotiations.
Mr. Stratford said that he favored
making a counter proposition, and
that an all night fight was. made Up
on that question. "Mr. Hoover and
myself for our part thought it tho
proper turse to have an atlignroent
of all the silver forces in the State
and we made a fight to get them to
gether. Thi is all I have to say.
It covers the ground . " -
Major Guthrie, it is understood,
opposed any interference in the con
gressional arrangement existing be
tween the Populists and Republi
cans. As to fusion with Democrats
on State and county matters, he did
not-express hlmself.-
' Chairman Ayer was asked if he
thought the committee bad pursued
a wise course. "If it hadn't been
wise I never would have been a
party to it," hi -aid. Chairman
Ayer stated that he committee would
not meet any more until after the
election. '
Ralph HowlarKl has been appoint
ed, by Chairman Ayer the elector in

THE STATE FAIR.'
Some of the -. BalelKh' Exhibitors- Big
,.V - ; Crowds Expeeted. r- .? .
- -The State Fair is almost upon us.
Every indication points to' a most
successful exhibit, and large attend
ance of visitors from all sections of
the State.
Meeting of "friends and old ac
quaintances is even ua pleasurable
as the Fair itsejf. The railroads
have given us a cent and a quarter
rate per mile, which will be tbe
means of attracting many persons
who otherwise would not ' have
come. " ' .
. ..The social feature of the Fair is
one which is enjoyed, to a greater
degree than any other. People from
all sections Of the State gather here
and the ; exhibitors are shipping
their exhibits here and some of them
have already arrived. All of the
space in norat nail -and in
the. old exposition building has
been taken. Nearly all the leading
business firms of the'State will-make
display. President Cameron made
a laudable effort this seasqn to in
terest the manufacturing enterpri
ses in tbe state in the fair. He has
witb'partial success, though it is to
be regretted that all our manufac
turing enterpriseswould not join in
and make exhibits. '
Raleigh firms have awakened to
the importance of the occasion and
many of our leading enterprises will
make exhibits. Among the number
are W. H. fc R. S. Tucker & Co.,
Raleigh Cotton Mills, Sherwood
Higgs & Co., T. H. Brig.-js & Sons,
Julius Lewis & Co., Thomas Max
well, Barber & Johnson, Royall &
Borden, Steininetz. Darnell &

Institute, W. H. Hughes-, A. B.
Stronach, Edwards & Broughton
and numbers of others.
The Circus lias Come and Gonc
A happy smile played on every
body's countenance today because
they had again experienced that
magic pleasure of "going to the cir
cus." There is something peculiar
in the enjoyment of having the cir
cus in town. Everybody who can
get there goes and a holiday air pre
vails when friends greet friends and
acquaintances nod at each other as
they pass before tho animal cafjes or
the ropes, as much as to say: "Well
we are all here to enjoy ourselves
and fling corroding cares to the
winds for an hour or two. "
It may be said in justice to the
Main circus that it is one of the best
that ever visited the city. There
are many new features in it and the
work is all well done. The acro
batic features are especially fine,
and the fun thrown in by the clowns
is irresistible. John Lo wlow is half
of the circus. He was greeted with
an ovation at each performance. He,
seems to have lost none of bis old
time magnetism as the king of jesters
and at the same time his work in the
ring is tinctured with that vein of
thoughtful philosophy and kindliness
which has come to the veteran clown
in his maturing years. Lowlow now
holds the attention of his audiences
by appealing to their intelligence
as well as their susceptibility to
mirth. The life of the' ring was the
inimitable joker Geo. L. Bickel who
kept the audience convulsed with
laughter throughout the Whole per
formance with, his many ludicrous
antics and jokes He appeared as a
German comedian and in various
other roles and to look at him meant
to laugh in a broad guffaw. Bickel
is a winner. ' There were, many
meritorious features too numerous
to mention and the verdict of all was
that the show was the best they
ever saw and that it- deserves well
at -the hands of the public Wherever
it gees. v : "

BEATS THE SPHLNX.
The Railway Puzzle Seems to be a Hard
One to Solve.
The Atlanta Constitution of ves-
terdaysays:
President Samuel Spencer or the
Southern railway is expected to be
in Atlanta in a few days and appear
before the state railroad commission.
Ho, was asked to attend yesterday
but telegraphed that he had an iin
portan't meeting in Boston and asked
if a later date in ths week would be
convenient for tbe commission. Tbe
matter was left with Judge Fort and
he Eas been at his home for several
days and nothing has been beard
from him. The state board meets
on Friday, but whether Mr. Spencer
wiircome then or not e i no, known
uuru. 5 -
The railroad commissions have a
few questions between tbe Central,
the Georgia Soulhern "and Florida
and the Southern It is probable
that he w'dl be interrogated in refer
ence to the recent reported sale of
the Seaboard Air Line. South Caro
lina is trying to get at the bottom of
that transaction, too.
Mr. Spencer states positively that
the Southern has nothing to do with
the purchase of tho Seaboard, but
he has said tha' the Southern con
trolled the Central and again he
said thajthe Southern had a contin
gent, beneficial interest i;i the Cen
tral. He stated last year that the
Souther, had acquired the Georgia
Southern and Florida and he is still
president of that property.
The State board is still working
on the "old mystery of who owns
these railway properties. Thus far
there has been a great deal of reti
cence about the matter. Noone has
come forward to explain who Mes
srs. Parsons & Edwards, stockhold
ers of the Georgia Southern, and the
purchasers of the Macon and Birm
ingham are. No one has explained
the Southern's contingent beneficial
interest in the Central.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
is financed by the Southern's offici
als and there is no secretabout that.
The Central has no executive
board, Mr. Comer is the head of that
system and there is no going behind
the returns there.
Messrs. Ryan and Thomas, hold
practically all the Central's stock,
and .have an option on the Seaboard
Air-Line.
DECISIONS AFFIRMED.
All the Justices ot the Supreme Court Sus-
stain Judge Montgomery.
Yesterday the Supreme court filed
special decisions in the two cases in
which points in the election law
were evolved. In the case ofthe
Winston registrars the decision of
Justice Montgomery was appealed
from. Judge Montgomery's decision
in the matter was affirmed, Fair-
clotb, C. J., delivering the opinion.
It was concurred in by all five of
the Justices. The decision is as
follows:
In consideration of the import
ance of the matter we say we think
the registrars under said act may
ask tho elector his age and residence
as well as the township and county
from which he removed, in ease of a
removal since the last election, and
the name by which he is commonly
known, and that by authority of the
Constitution, article 6, section 1, the
registrars may ask the elector if he
has resided in the State twelve
months next preceding the election,
and ninety days in tho county in
which he offers to vote, and that no
mo'e questions can be asked by the
registrars, under said act. If the
elector answers that he is twenty
ono years old, and has resided in
the State twelve months and in the
county ninety days previous to the
election at whiih he proposes to
vote, it is the duty of the registrars,
upon his taking the path prescribed
by section 16, to record his name as
a voter- Upon the request of any
by-stander he can be sworn as to
his residence. Challenges, if made
at all, must be made at tbe time and
in the manner specified in the act.
Affirmed.
" The following is a summary of the
opinion as to election of justices of
the peace:
The court holds that justices of
the peace in each township shall be
elected by the voters thereof. The
names of the candidates for justices
of tbe peace shall k be voted on the
ticket with county officers, but only
in their respective townships, "as
has already been tbe case with can
didates for - constable. .The judg

APPEALING ;: HE CASE.
Ihe Injunction Against the seaboard to
be Carried I p.
Steps are being taken to carry the
injunction granted by Judge Emory
Speer against the Seaboard aud
other roads to the circuit court of
appeals at New Orleans. It seems
that the case will not bo heard by
Judge Speer, but will .be taken up
direct to the circuit court of appeals.
The Atlanta Constitution 'says: No
tice was served yesterday by Messrs
King & Spalding, counsel for the
Seaboard, on tho other roads which
were enjoined, notifying them of the
appeal so that they could become
parties to it if they wish. .
As was expected, the Seaboard is
the first to-aiove in-the case. The
injunction was peremptory. It will
be remembered that the injunction
was granted just before the state
railroad commissioners took up the
question of reducing local rates in
Georgia to correspond with the
through rates, which had been cut
33 per cent. Some of the roads did
not want the commission to interfere
and the injunction was obtained to
prevent the state board from inter
fering. TODAY'S MARKETS.

From Earth to Heaven.
At 2:30 o'clock this morning, after
an illness of rather more than three
weeks, Mrs. Emma Nettie Manor
died at the Park Hotel.
For some days a fatal termina
tion of her illness had been expect
ed, and yet her death was a shock
terrible to her loving husband,
mother, brother and children, who
were all at her beside, and deeply
grievous to her loving friends who
had been so assiduous in their care.
Mrs. Manor was born in Charlottes
ville, Va., August 21, 1858. She was
thedaugbterof Mrs. M. A. Bear, who
arrived here a few days since, in
company with Mr. F. R. Bear, her
son, in response to a summons. Mrs.
Manor was married at Harrisonburg,
Va., twelve years ago. The sin
cerest and gentlest sympathy of her
many friends goes out to Mr. W. E.
Manor, her husband, and their two
little girls, aged 9 and 7 years.
Mrs. Manor was a member of
Edenton Street Methodist church.
She was earnest in her religious as
well as in her wifely duties, and
formed close friendships during her
two years residence in Raleigh.
The remains will leave here for
Harrisonburg at 8:45 o'clock tomor
row morning.

Messrs. King's and Atkinsons, Star
Course appear heretonightat Metro
politan Hall. The Stars appeared
in Durham last night and the Sun
has this complimentary notice about
them :
The house was packed full of music
and fun loving people who listened
to as good a concert as has been
given Durham in many a day. -
Mr. Reynolds in his-"humorous
humorosi ties, " "character sketches"
and "humorous songs" brought
down the house. Miss Brewer in
her piano solos and recitals was
compelled to respond to a second
and third encore, while the soprano
solos of Miss Hill and violin solos of
Miss Garritz were almost perfection
itself.
A better pleased audience never
left the court bouse and if this is a
sample of what is to appear in the '
Durham Star Coursa our citizens
owe Mr. Williams, the manager and -treasurer,
a vote c f thanksfor bring
ing entertainments here.of such high '
order and giving the peopleachance '
