I refer to the statement that the panic of 1893-4 was a result of the passage of the Wilson bill by a democratic Congress. There prob ably was never a more widely re peated falsehood, nor one that is more generally believed, and yet it is a matter of common knowledge, to every official and every correspon' dent who was in Washington at that time, that the panic was under way and bound to come before President Harrison left the White House. In fact, the bonds for a populaif loan to restore the gold reserve had been engraved before Mr Harrison left Washington. On leaving Washing ton after his first term Mr. Cleveland left a large surplus in the Treasury. On returning for his second term he found a deficit. This statement may be verified by the treasury re ports. The Wilson bill, which has been credited with costing the coun try more than the Civil War, was productive of far more revenue than the McKinley bill, the high sched. ules of which had actuallv served to decrease the customs receip'.s be cause they put a severe check on im portation. The inordinately high tariffof the McKinley bill, r oubli- can extravagance, and pessi y the Sherman bill, passed by a republican Congress, were the real factors which combined to produce a panic which had its inception during the Harri:on administration but which reached its climax after Mr. Cleve land's inauguration. In the light of the actual facts, republican cant about the danger of entrusting tariff revision to the democratic party falls verv flat. WES GAVE WAY PE-RU-NA CURED. Aseneth Bradj, Cor.

B. Hart llent XUrtxa SAniterium, The remembrance of the incident in American history above referred to is causing considerable anxiety to tbiukine republicans at the p esent tim. Although eve. effoi: w?s made to take advantage of the fact that a democratic administration was in power when the height of the panic was reached, and that, to a large extent, the American public was misled. thoe republicans who were permitted an insight into the actual state of affairs in the Treasu ly, realized that the McKinley tulff was too high to produce revenue and that the credit of the country was maintained only by the reduction of the schedules accomplished by the Wilson bill. It became necessary, however, for the success of the res publican party to again increase the schedules in accordance with the demands ot the protected interests, and, therefore the Dingley bill was passed. At the present time history is showing a tendency to repeat its self. The country is enjoying an unusual prosperity owing to the abundent agricultural crops, but those who are in close touch with treasury affairs realize that any check in the present prosperity, as a result of entirely natural and una voidable causes, would again result in diminished customs receipt and the necessity for an issue of bonds would again arise. In fact at the present time the Government is showing a slight daily deficit. These are the tacts which have given a certain impetus to the demand for a reduction of the tariff schedules al though the public will be lead to be lieve that the demand comes entire ly from a desire to curtail the power of the trusts. As indicative of the republican custom of slipping out of tight places, the remark made y 1 terday by a republican editor is in teresting. "If we see signs of a break in the present prosperous con ditions be.'o i 1904". he said, "we will let the democras win in that year and then the brunt of the hard times will be charged to them. In 1908 we will elect Mr. Roosevelt, or whomever else we please, and the democrats will never again be heard of. It would be a big sacri fice, but the republican organization The report h? s gone forth that the railway prsidents have been notified by the republican managers that the coal stilke must be ended or it will have a disasterors eff;:t on the fall eh :tions, The proldents will sum mon the enfire Pennsylvania m'iitia if necessary, and a final attempt to break the stiike and incidentally the union will be made. If thi a tempt does not prove successful, however, the presidents will accede to the demands of the union for the present. MANY RADS ANGERED. Greensboro Cor. Winston Journal. The Republican State Convention held in Greensboro, adjourned at 10:30 last night. The most important action of the conyention was the endorse ment of the candidacy of Thos. N.Hill of Halifax, for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the leaving blank the nominations for associate justices. Rev. D. A. Long was nominated for Superintendent of Public Instruction and Dr. D. H, Abbott for Corporation Commissioner. Several members of the Forsyth delegation returned last night. Postmaster Reynolds, and oth ers came in this morning. It is known that many of the Res publicans in this and other counties are dissatisfied over the action of the convention not nominating a straight Republican ticket. A Forsyth dele gate said: "They rang in the same old section 6 that knocked us out at Rural Hall." In the caucus Thursday afteruoon strong speeches were made by R. Z. Linney and Congressman Blackburn, opposing the endorsement of Demo crats for office. Postmaster Reynolds and Congressman Moody stood by Pritchard and they won out. Ex-Judge W. P. Bynum, of Greens boro, was one of the prominent Re. publicans who did. not endorse Mr. Pritchard's scheme. He told a Greens boro newspaper man: "You can quote me as saying that I think the Repub licans have made the most serious mis take since the war in not nominating a straight ticket." When told what Judge Bynum had to say about it, a Forsyth Republican remarked: "What else could we. do? Judge Bynum would not accept the nomination for Chief Justice. Judge Furche8 would not agree to a renomU nation on account of his age, he pre, ferring to retire at the end of his pres ent term. Justice Cook said he would not have it, as he expects to move to the West." ' M?ny Republicans wanted to fcuow where consistency came in for their party to denounce Democrats and then turn arcund and ask the Republicans to supDort Democrats for office. Rockingham sent up the same con testing delegations that were at Rural Hah. The committee on credentials, of which J. W. McNeil was chairman, decided to let the delegations have two votes each "just the thiDg we tried to get the McNeill crowd to agree to at Rural Hall," said a Forsyth man, "but they would not agree to it, If they had, McNeill would never have been nominated." The Forsyth delegation thought the convention should have nominated Lindsay Patterson for Chief Justice, as they regard him a much stronger and better man than Hill. ExsJudge Bynum of the Committee on plan of organization, submitted amendments to party rules tending to increase representation in district, State and county nominating conven tions; so as to bring them closer to the people and changing section 6 so as to leave no doubt about its construction and against that put upon it at the Rural Hall judicial convention. Adop ted. J. C. Pritchard was unanimously named chairaan of the State executive committee. TO XOM1XATE ALEXANDER. The Republican Congressional Con vention for this district hm not beca called yet. There is a movement to nominate Major Alexander, of Win ston, against Hon. W. W. Kitchen. When questioned about a rumor to that ettect, ttie Major replied: "All I know about it is that a party of gentle men came to my room at the hotel iu Greensboro and told me that ibey ex pected to nave me Dominated.'" Tbat be will accept goes withou saying. Jit is kudwn that ii J. Petree, of Stokes would like to have the nouiiuatioo. It is said that B. F.

MEItlfEU COMPLIMENT. The best Fairs that are held in North Carolina are held in Winston talem. This year we are told the Fair will be better than usual, and 1 from what vr hpar nf the nrnratinn I that are being made we do not doubt but what our friends will realize their anticipations, in this direction. The lair takes place this year on October 7, 8, 9, and 10th. Secretary Webb writea that he is arranging for an un usual, interesting programme this time. Besides the largest Agricultu ral, Live-Stock and Poultry exhibits ever seen in this country, the other features wilt be in keeping with the occasion. The Midway will be first class, with ali objectionable features ruled out. The free shows will be worth 5tt cents any time. Then there will be balloon ascensions, foot-ball, Bicycle races, cake-walks, fine music, Good Roads Convention, Old Veter an 8 ReMinion. etc. There will be two very handsome suits of furniture given o the couple that will agree to get married on the" grounds during the Fair. In fact, there will be so many things going on that Secretary Webb says he can t think of all them at one time. And now comes the funny part: - The Big Winston Fair only charges 25 cents to go in to see everything, while others charge 50 cents. . Let's all go to Winston. There will be cheap Railroad rates, and we are informed that trains will run to and from the grounds oa a rery satisfactory schedule. GLENN BIDS FAREWELL TO THE AMBITION OF HIS LIFE.

C, Aug, 30 Forsyth Democrats held a large and enthusiastic convention to-day. The Senatorial question was taken up at the morning session ana pieasanny discussed, after which It was referred to Messrs. Wat on nd Glenn to say how the contest sho 'd be settled. Immediately after 'ie convention vas railed to order this afternoon Mr. WYtson arose and a? louoced that be aud CaptainlGJeun had had a fr'erd Iv conference, and as a result of 1 iat conference he woald nk that t)e moi'on made at the morning sessio to have the convention settle the Senatorial controversy be withdrawn Mr. Watson then stated: "Captain Glenn will now address v0u.v Captain Glenn niaue a strong speech, during which be said: "A man has no right in politics or religion to live for himself alone. He v higaer duty than to mere fce?r. T ts day I have had the bitterest stru2fre I ever had in my life. I have trfcj to think of my country, of my Stale and of my God. I am to-day making a sacrifice of the sreatest ambition ot my life to be a Jnited States Senav tor. Tosdav I bid farewell to thai ambition. I surrender it, believing mch action to be the best thing for my county. During the conference between myself and Mr. Watson theio was not an unkind expression. Botfo of us recognized the fact that Forsyth had no chance as long as both re inained in the field. As Mr. Watson thought that he had an older claim and feeling that the party was under some oblifratio 1 to him for the race he made for Governor in 159i, and after conferring with my wife arad God, I decided to ask my friends to be his friends and to suppert C. 8. Watson just as loyally and faithfully as I exp it to support him. I had rather not to the United States Senate than that aay act of mine should jeopardize any man on oar county ticket," In concluding, Captain Gleen said: "I leave the fight without any bitter cess, I pledge to Mr. Watson that in every county where Bob Glenn has infiuerce I will make speeches for him and when the Legklature meets wHl be there to aid ia his election. There is no feeling of unkindness. My task h done. Do you want me to help in the county campaign! If you do, send for me day or night. I will also be at the ballot box on election day, if you want me, as I vras two years ago, regardless of Federal officials. I "will ako go out in the State and talk for our candidate in language," pointing to Mr. Watson, "which your modesty would prevent. I wish you; all God speed. I hope always to have your respect and esteem." At the conclusion of his address, which was received with a storm of applause. Captain Glc jn offered the the fo 'lowing resolution with a re Winston Daily Joura'a!. Seldom ha9 a county convention witnessed a more magnificent demon stration than the sacrifice made by Hon. R. B. Glenn Saturday for the benefit of the Democratic party. Surrounded and supported by en thusiastic friends, encouraged by lu formation from and conditions exist ing in other parts of the State, he had every reason to believe that his pros pects for the gratification of a laud able ambition were of the most reas suring character and he knew that with the single exception of Mr. Wat son's candidacy there was no ob stacle in 'his path to the United States Senate. He knew also tha practically the same conditions confronted Mr. Wat son and that one or the other must retire or invite inevitable defeat not only for themselves but for the county of Forsyth and the city of Winston. Realizing this he . gallantly and magnanimrusly withdrew and then in the same spirit of unexcelled man hood and Democracy introduced a resolution conceding the potent in fluence of the county's endorsement to his rival. Few men have the moral courage or the bigheartedness to do a thin j like that; few men in public life have made a record of self-sacrifice, mag naminity and patriotism like that which Robert B. Gloan established yesterday. Not only is the party under obliga tions to the hero of the hour, but the county of Forsyth and the city ef WinstonSalem, whose future In fluence in the political and commer cial worlds is thus assured, owes a debt to Mr. Glenn they can never repay. It was a trying hour. The exigen cy must be met, and though tears dimmed his eyes and emotion imped ed his speech, he was equal to the emergency and with patriotism and love of party and home actuating him, he bade personal ambition fare1 well. It was the act of a man greater than most of us. CAPT. GLENN DID THE PROPER THING FOR HIMSELF AND MR.WATiON. unrepresentative of th nwtnt t North Carotin to the active aid of the Southern Railway. The "endorsee" of the convention for Chief Justice, Mr. T. Hill, ha for twenty-five yuirs been a railroad counsel and his desire to be uomlna ted bv some convention for Chief Justice has been actively nui 'ed bv . ii. xsay.anotner raiiroaa t-ttoruey, both of whom have beeu acti In looking out for the railroad interests. That is a sample of the railroad in fluence which holds a lieu on the Re publican party of North Carolina. or rather a fee simple to it. Thee were tne leaders of the convention, while the Revenue Doodles and Hum? Smellers of the Federal service con stituted the rank and file. This was the crowd that ran the convention. ThU is the crowd with its moss back affiliation, and its ne gro bidden outside waiting for the ' word to come In. that sek the votes of. the intelligent men of North Caro lina. PE if ACHED FUNER L OF A LIV ING MAN. The Greensboro Record, in making editorial reference to the amicable settlement of our Senatorial contest, says: "Glena is stronger, Watson is stronger: and the party is stronger. It was the part of wisdom. It was right. Watson is older and has re cceived less at the hands of the party. Glenn is younger and can afiord to wait far the higher honors which yet await him in tne not distant future. It was graciously and finely done. Mr. Glenn is nearer the hearts of "the unterrified' than ever before. Mr. Watson's senatorial sky is brighter than ever before. It was what might have been expected from two good men who were neighbers, friends ad patriots two strong men who stand four square to all the winds that blow.' The evident purpose of Mr. Pritchard is if he cannot succeed him self to transmit his mantel to his own rransmoentain section through the person of one Mr. Craig who wears another black eye. So mote it be." Bklelffh Tl nes. "I bad a man to ask me onoe to preach his funeral while he was alive and let him hear it," declared Elder vv liiiara wqodard, of Wilson, in a sermon at the Primitive Bamiat church in this city yesterday. 'At am 1 naa my doubts about the Dro- piiety of such a thing," he contin ued, "but the words 'and ye are al1 de-id,' cam 9 to me and supplied ca appropriate text."

Elder Wo xlar t possesses wonderful BibUcd knowl edge and quotes scripture fluently throughout his sermons.

Raleigh News and Observer. The railroad schedule had the right of way in the Rublican convene tion at Greensboro. It was indeed a Republi c a nR a i 1 r o a d-R e v e n u e Doodle Convention. The railroads furnished the con doctors for the round trip, while the Revenue Doodles were the train hands. It only missed the raroad uniform and the S. E. on the cape to make it the real thing. The first note that piped from the convention was played by Zeb Vence Walser, a Southern Railway attorne who responded to the address of wet come and acted as temporary chr? man.
