From well-posted circles ,'tLe
VTasLington Star says it learns that
many gold standard Democrats la
the South not only expect recognl
tion of their services from the In.
coming administration, but that they
will seek recognition. From the
same source it is stated that Presi
dent McKinley has ; "Hously thought
of what action he w.. . ke in these
matters; that Chairua Eanna de
liberated over the question before
the campaign closed, and that he
promised his assistance in several
instances, not on the ground that
these Southern men should help
elect McKinley, but en broader and
stronger partisan grounds. t ,
It will be no revelation to say that
in every Southern State there will
be gold Democratic applicants for,
positions under the new admlnistra-
tion. It will be interesting to know
that. h9 applications will not be
made on the basis of the work done
for McKinleyN but on the basis Of
wnat can be done for. the Kepubli.
can party in the South should these
men be recognized.' t J "
President-elect McKinley and his
administration will have put before
them these facts: First, that never
before In the history of the country
has . the Democratic party been so
badly split in the South; that it is so
badly Crippled that the proper work
will result In its bsing permanently
disabled.' Second,; that the way to
do this is to recognize the gold stand
ard men and thereby anchor then
safely to the Republican' party and
Republican principles. Third, that
the nucleus of a strong Republican
party can thereby : be formed in
every Southern State, I
It will not be,- it Is said, the old
time Republican leaders of the South
who will bring these ideas to the at
tention of the national Republican
leaders. It will be the influential
business men and bankers of that
section who deserted the Democratic
party in the last election,' and who
now find the doors of the party clos
ed to them. .They do not. want to re
turn to the party, because they now
find the principles of the' party an
tagonistic to their Interests: I They
will not Join the republican party
as now constituted,, because theif
social position will prevent it They
can.afford, however, to join the party
and .become its leaders, if they , are
given the opportunity. ': '
Every man of intelligence in the
country, ; it is said, has long ago
learned why the. republican party in
the, south does not number' in, ito
ranks the men of standing and of
brain found in the other parts of the
country. I The ; colored voter : has
stood in the way. The fear that he
might get possession ot a state has
made the. white men stand together,
whether principle was Involved or
not. " , '
The"" wires, it is alleged, will be
laid for two parties of white men In
the , south,' The new republican
party may embrace fewer white men
than the old democratic party,' but
it will have as much brains and as
much money, and" in time will draw
to it a majority of the white men.
It is said on good authority that
President McKinley. will give good
places to many southern gold demo
crats, but he will not be able to give
them a majority of the best places
in their respective states. He will
have to recognize , the men who
worked for his ; nomination at St.
Louis. After that; is done he will
be able to gie places to the new
men;' . " . -;.'' ;

Said to be Figuring for the Presidential
Ticker. '
By Telegraph to the Presa Visitor. tl
I Washington, D. C, Nov. 19.-The
statement of Senator Marlon Butler
of North Carolinaf to the effect that
Bryan could not receive the votes Of
the Populist party in 1990 unless he
should be the candidate and nominee
of that party rather than of the dem
ocracy, has been the subject of much'
comment among the silver men who
have been looking forward to. the
next presidential campaign lor a
continuance of their fight for the
free coinage of the white metal
through a fusion of democrats, pop
ulists and silver republicans.
v; Mr. Butler's .words are being
taken with a large amount of salt,
and it is said that theNorth Carolina
Senator has been foroed to come out
with that declaration as a matter of
self -protection, in view of the attack
made ' npon him by the late yice
presidential candidate "of his party,
Mr. Watson. 1
1 During the last days of the cam
paign Mr. Watson made most bf the
populists have a yeryl tired feeling
because of the belief that he was
ready to place his personal ambition
above the principles for which the
populists had been contending and
which had been incorporated in the
democratic platform and were ad
vocated inso decided a manner by
Bryan, They were ready to cover
Watson with abuse for his course as
a kicker, and as election day drew'
near they felt less and less patience
with his constant prating over his
grievances..-;; , .. jv," x'..i
Mr. Butler's ambition Is more
than state wide. : He ' has achieved
the highest honor that the old north
state can bestow upon him. -He is
too shrewd a polilican not to realize
that the country is not yet prepared
to elect a president from a southern
state, but he believes, it Is said, that
the vice presidency might go there,
while the first place on the ticket
would be filled by a man from one
of the central west and 'perhaps
doubtful states. Mr, Butler is ap
plying that art, which he under
stands well, the art of keeping one's
self in the front of the column, and
what better way could there be to
do it than to.announce to. the coun
try that his party-is. a star , of the
first magnitude, looming up in. the
south and west, and rising to a point
where it may guide its members to
victory In 1900,
Silver democrats profess to be
lieve that Mr. Butler wants 1 to
solidify the rank and file of his party
behind his banners, being , careful
not to allow Tom Watson to take a
place ahead of htm in the confidence
of his party. And ail this it is be"
lieved by many democrats is being
done with a view to lifting1 Butler
on the national fusion ticket in 1900.
"Bryan and Butler,' and to be able
then to have this straight ticket en
dorsed by both populists and demo
crats. If the populistsBhould spring
their convention ahead of the demo
crats and nominate Bryan and But
lerf many politicians say that the
chances would be. very largely in
favor of its indorsement by the dem
ocracy if general conditions do not
change in four years. t ;,-..:

The Chattanooga Train and tha Moaatafaa
i ' : Helper Collded Near Old Fort. ' :
t The Chattanooga special did not
arrive here, yesterday ' ' until
late in the afternoon. An. accident
at Fort Mill in which two lives were
lost caused the delay. .. - ; -
QTbe Salisbury World gives the
following thrilling story of the dis
aster:
The Chattanooga vestibule which
left Salisbury at 9:20, was In charge
of Will A. James, for many years an
engineer on the Western, and John
Howard, the fireman.' The few min
utes .which it had lost in starting
were soon made up and when the 1
train pulled , by Old Fort nothing
unusual had happened and still less
was .expectedt ; At the. foot of the
mountain just beyond Old Fort, a
helper has always stood since the
construction of the western, to help
pull the trains up the heavy grade
that lies beyond this point For
sixteen years W. A. Terrell has run
the helper, and this too without a
conductor. 'And for just "as many
years has he maintained a reputa
tion for care and attention to his
duty,
h But last night he was overrun
with work. Ringllng's circus was
to pass over in two sections and one
section had already been pulled up.
Mr. Terrell had received orders to
meet the other section at Denton and
it is supposed that his mind was
concentrated ott this thought exclu
sively and he failed to remember
that No. 16 was d ue at the very mo
ment that his engine entered a cut
about four miles beyond Old Fort
It was the work of an instant. - Two
headlights came in view too late for
the steam to bo turned off by either
engineer, there waa a crash, a muf
fled noise of escaping steam and the
awful tragedy of the night was
ended. - 1 '
The train hands quickly went Out
to 'where the two engineers stood
John Howard, poor fellow was the
first man " seen. He stood between
the engine and tender, one hand
restinc on the roof of the engine and
the other on thetender dead. From
the tender of the . same eugine en
gineer Will James' head and half his
body were banging from the win
dow With two ugly scars on his fore
head, while. . within,? his right leg
broken below the knee and the en
tire flesh of the calf torn off, fasten
ed him down. And in this excrutl
atlngly ; painful . position he was
found, fully conscious. A telegram
received from Old Fort at 3 0 clock
this afternoon states that the physi
cians are discussing the ad visibility
of amputating Mr. James' leg, al
though thev fear that he will die
before thet begin the operation... "
Engineer Terrell was also quite
badly hurt, although the extent of
his injuries cannot be learned. ,
