' GUTHRIE MAKES REPLY
To Chairman Ayer in , a Su

WORTH IN A FIX.
Fatber's Nam Omitted From Pan of th
Otkets-AaotherHanna Scheme
' , ? i Batting on tha Eleetlon In - ,

Late this afternoon we received a
supplemental address Issued by
- MaJ. W. A. "Guthrie lu reply to
Ch'm Ayerv Owing to the lateness
. of the hour In receiving the manus
cript we are unabl0 to present the
textof it . t .. " ' '
' Mr. Guthrie explains that before
offering his original address to any
correspondent or democratic paper,
he submitted it to Chairman Aver
and Otho Wilson.: f Upon 5 being In
formed by those gentlemen that they
oould not publish it, be was forced
to thenecessity of bavins It pub
lished in democratic papers for the
-' purpose of advising his political
friends. . . . ,
The address today contains many
stinging truths. Among other things
the author says, "I am willing to
stand or fall by the sentiments con
tained in that address.
The election is only three days
away and then the battle of ballots
will begin::: There 'probably inever
was so much interest taken in any
election b,y all thepeople. . The pop
ular pulse beats with politics. Every
body wants to know the latest and
conversation on the street corners
and with business men is all the
same. For months and weeks the
people of this state have been closely
following the rapid moves made on
the political checkerboard by our
patriots aiid statesmen. They are
tired, of this now and that upper
most in their minds is the result
But every hour brings forth some
new move. It keeps the newspaper
men hustling. They go from one
headquarters to another and at every
turn something new has developed.
The "scheming of the -"past three
months Is rapidly coming to light
Henna's agents have busied them
selves most They will take advant
age of every weak point in the elec
tion v law. A . desperate effort ' is
being made to carry one or more of
the electoral votes for ' McKlnley.
The Democrtlo chairman and his as
sociates have thus far been able to
frustrate several of their schemes,
' . milt...- I- 1tulA' Ua4-Mmm am
v suit in' this state. The prevailing
odds on MoElnley as against Bryan
are 21 " to 1, though some bets of
covered, so far are- small amounts
and rarely exceed $100. The betting
on Watson and Russell is generally
even. " - -
? The events of the past few days
have developed one rather remarka
ble thing. That is the Republican
and Populist headquarters are work
ing in conjunction. The Populist
5tate Chairman prepares a circular
and Holton sends it out ! Populists
get up Hayseeder's and Republicans
use them as a campaign document
Yes, the Republicans and Populists
were in consultation at the former's
headquarters to defeat a Democratic
scheme (?) which turned out to be a
case of Populist carelessness." ! :
. Probably the most amusing inci
dent of the campaign came to light
today and it was at the expense of
that good citizen, Father Worth. A
telegram was received from a prom
inent Populist In an eastern county
stating that two packages Of bogus
tickets which did not contain the
name of the Populist candidate for
treasurer bad been received with
the packages shipped from popu
list headquarters. ' - '
"Some body is fixing to get shot,"
said Chairman Aver, "We won't
stand this." Of course the Demo
crats were charged with sending out
.the tickets. - It was subsequently
announced at Populist headquarters
that the printers had made the mis
take by not furnfshing a proof of the
- plate. Only one of the sixteen plates
- used in printing the tickets omitted
Father Worth's name. It is possible
that the tickets were Bent all over
, the State. Adjutant Wilson announc
ed that telegrams had been sent out
today and the mistake rectified.
After carefully investigating tie
- matter, the Priss-Visitob ascertain
ed today that the' Populist tickets
had been sent out at the following
times: . , - S ;- . j-
The first and ninth districts on
Tuesday. - ; : :. '
' i The eighth, seventh, sixth and
fifth on Wednesday. 1 - i,
The fourth, part of the secondhand
third on Thursday. ,
The remainder of the seooud and
third today, Friday. - - fe
Information has been received at
Democratic headquarters that 100,
000 tickets have been printed and
circulated in different parts of the
State bearing the device "Straight
Populist ticket, containing only the
names of the Populist electors and
leaving off the names of the Demo
cratic and silvesRepublican electors.
One1 of these tickets has been receiv
ed by Chairman Manly id this form.
It Is understood that the official
ticket as sent out from the Populist
headquarters has no device at all,
and contains eleven electors. These
bogus tickets were not printed in
the city of Raleigh, and were .dis
tributed from a' different place.
The following statement is made
at headquarters; ,'- . , 4 . ' ,
'Let no Populist or Democrat be
deceived by these. T It is one of the
Hanna tricks by which it is expected
to secure half the votes of the Popu
lists for McEinley. and in the mean
time anger the Democrats,' hoping
thereby to Induce them to -cut the
Populist electors: Every, man who
favors the election of Bryan will, of
course, vote the entire eleven elec
tors as printed on the official Popu
list and Democratic electoral tick
ets,"
The Prohibition ticket is out to
day. Like many other tickets got
ten put in this campaign, the initials
of many of the candidates are only
given. The law requires that the
first given name' of a candidate be
spelled out It does ' not matter in
this instance, however. -
WATSON'S ATTITUDE,
Paired that B Will Yet Hurt Bryan's
. Cans. - .
The Washington Star of yesterday
says: :
What the populist candidate for
the vice-presidency may do next is
known only to himself . Mr.' Butler
will not make public bis letter of
acceptance, and if it sees the light
of publicity, it will be through the
Georgian himself. Fear is expressed
that Watson will' make the letter
public, charging both Jones and
others with bad faith, and that he
will even make it stronger than it
was by scorching Senator Butler for
refusing to publish his letter. What
is feared from this course ( is that
Watson's letter will be takep up by
the opposition press and given the
widest possible circulation in states
hrwhicb the populist vote is an im
portant element in the coming elec
tion."! Watson may jet prove a thorn
In the side of the democracy, though
his conduct during the past two
months, It is claimed, has discredi
ted almost anything he can da
It is said in Democratic circles
that whatever Mr. Watson may do
at this late day will not hurt Bryan.
They say that it will hurt Watson
most. They express the belief that
Watson has r uined all chances of the
vice-presidency In case Bryan is
elected. . They hold that if Watson
had played second fiddle to Bryan
without introducing discord in the
music he would have stood a splen
did chance for the place of presiding
officer of the Senate, for the reason
that many Democrats look upon
Watson with more favor than Sewall.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Th Supply 'of Money In NW York Is
" Snrfldeat to Allay all Fcara. ,
The following telegrams were re
ceived today over; the private wire
of O. E. Leach: .. '
v' ':'y- ;::;; -' New Yobs, Oct 30.
There is already evidence in the
board of an increased supply of
money, which is allaying the - fears
of the brokers considerably 4. There
is no effort to press down the money
rate, but a fair market isbeingmade.
It is found that no large amountsare
wanted and that it is not expected
to take much money in the aggregate
to supply all demands.' Several
bank presidents have been giving
the money situation a good deal of
attention and are satisfied that the
demand creating the high rates is
sufficiently limited to come within
the reach of available supplies. The
cause of the scarcity of money 'is set
down without hesitation to the
general hoarding of money by the
people. It is found that out of the
gold imports of $70,000,000 or more,
about $48,000,000 of gold cannot be
accounted for in any known places
of deposit and is considered to be in
private hoards.

The Georgia Minstrels Next Week.
The Georgia Minstrels will be
here on the night of November 5th.
A critic on a leading Alabama paper
and has, the following:
"There was two hours of solid fun
at McDonald's Friday night, Rich
ards & Pringle's Georgia Minstrels
holding the boards. This is the
only company extant composed ex
clusively of genuine negroes. The
writer, always interested in ethno
logic problems, was anxious to com
pare the real Ethiopian delineator of
the negro in comedy with the burnt
cork Caucasian in the same role, and
found in this instance the dusky Af
rica' was the superior of the two.
Billy Eersands was simply im
mense, and during the latter part of
the performance his every appear
ance on the stage was greeted with
applause. His local hits, while un
intelligible to the white portion of
the audience, were uproariously ap
plauded by the colored element, and
from their standpoint were hits in
deed. - As two stylish old gents,
and in other parts, E. Hillman and
Robert Vernon secured the cordial
approbation of their hearers The
great Gauze, in his natural repre
sentation of female characters, and
Billy Reynolds as the old man im
personator, elicited considerable ap
plause. The wonderful feats of jug
glery by Jalvan .entitles him to the
premiership of this art. The per
formance was a comic and musical
treat, and one of the very best min
strel shows ever in Alabama "
This company will be at Metropo

FOR SALARY DUE.
Mr. Winder Has Not FUed Bis Complaint

bamaxes, . i ,
Mr. John H. Winder, who was
deposed as General Manager of the
Seaboard Air Line last fall soon after
his re-election by the Board of Di
rectors, has (riven notice in the
Clerk of the Court's office that he
will enter suit against the Seaboard
for salary due. ',
Hia nmplaint should have been
filed before court convened, but
Judge Boykin has extended Mr.
Winder and his counsel 30 days
longer in which to file it.
It is notknownhowmuchMr. Winder
will contend for, but it Is understood
that it will approximate near ten
thousand dollars. That was his
salary, and he severed his connec
tion with the road soon after being
elected for a year. Suit is brought
against each division of the Seaboard
system.
Mr. W. J. Edwards, formerly the
general store keeper of the Seaboard
Air Line system, whose head fell
under the St. John guillotine when
that institution was most active has
also entered suit against the Sea
board for damages to the amount of
$975 for discharging him wrongfully
and without cause.
Mr. Edwards has filed his com
plaint with Clerk of the Court Young
through his attorney, Mr. R. O.
Burton. It has not been answered
as yet by the Ralway Company.
Mr. Edwards alleges in his com
plaint that he was employed by the
Seaboard Air Line on the 10th of
July, 1894 as general store-keeper,
for the year beginning July 15th,
1894 at a salary of $1,800 per year,
which employment was continued
on the 15th day of July 1895 for the
year ending on thelSthday of July,
la'Jo at tne same salary.
Plaintiff further complains that
the defendants wrongfully and with
out cause, discharged the plaintiff
from his said office to his damage,
$975.00.
Plaintiff also alleges that he at all
times held himself in readiucss to
perform the duties of this office and
requested the defendants to rein
state him in the same, but his request
was refused, and he demanded pay
ment of the balance due him on his
salary, to-wit $975, which was also
refused.

THE DEALHELD UP.
Th Byaa Syndicate Said to Be Shy ofthe
. Cash.
A Baltimore dispatch of yesterday
says : A little inside history of the
deal for the sale of the Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad , to the syndicate
headed by Thomas F. Ryan of New
York came to light this morning. It
explains the delay in the consum
mation ofthe dear and disposes of
many absurd rumors which have
been freely circulated. . ,
When a controlling interest in the
stock was negotiated lor just previ
ous to the annual meeting at Ports
mouth, Va., some weeks ago, it was
supposed that the "deal would be
closed up in a few days. A good
round sum' was paid in cash as a
guarantee of good faith. The bal
ance was to be paid within a stipu
lated time.
Upon this final payment being
made the propertyWas to be turned
over to the Ryan syndicate, along
with the resignations of the present
directory of the Seaboard Company.
It appears, however, that when
the final payment, which represent
ed something like a round million
dollars, became due, the purchasers
were not ready with the cash. They
found that in the present unsettled
state of the money market the re
quired sum was not so easy to raise.
They offered, it is understood, to
pay half of the amount in cash and
asked for time on the balance.
To this proposition Louis McLane,
who is representing the pooling
committee in the deal, declined to
assent and the purchasers returned
to New York to look for more ready
money. In the meantime they se
cured an extension of time on the
whole transaction.
Thus the matter now stands, Mr.
McLane insisting that the whole
amount must be paid in cash before
the pooled stock is turned over to
the Ryan syndicate. In this pool
there is the original 4,000 shares
and enough additional to make, with
the 2,700 shares ' secured by Gen.
Dill, over 9,000 shares. Owing to
the peculiar voting privileges whic
the ' liaraterofthecorapanyprovides
for, a big majority of the total issue
is necessary to a complete control.
This charter, which is one of the
the oldest in the country, scales the
vote so that stockholders have a vote
of each share up to a certain num
ber. Beyond this the number of
votes is scaled, the proportion de
pending upon the size of the holding
This provision was put in the charj
ter with a view to protecting minor
ity interests.
Mr. McLane has issued a circular
advising stockholders to pool their
stock with the committee, of which
he is the head. It is not stated what
price those who pool their stock will
receive, but it will probably be
something in the neighborhood of
$125. This will be $25 per share
more than was received by those
who joined with Gen Uill in selling
their stock at par.
Meanwhile-the air is filled with
rumors that tbcLouisvilleand Nash
ville Railroad Company is after the
Seaboard system, desiring it for an
outlet to the sea. Should this be
true it would not be improbable for
the Ryan syndicate to sell to this
company. The ownership of this
line by the Louisville and Nashville
would practically complete the latter
system, by giving it an entrance to
the Northern seaports.
Should the property pass into the
hands of the Louisville and Nash
ville, the war of rates would be per
manently ended, and that line's ri
valry with the Southern would be
much more friendly than has been
the rivalry between the Southern
and the Seaboard Line In any event
rates, will be restored on the bay and
the two steamer lines will be con sol
idated and operated under a single
management
It is not believed that there will
be any further developments In the
Seaboard affair until the latter part
ot next week.
