MORE MUDDLE.

ocratic campaign literature for distribu
tion. In this lot a number of Mr. Bryan's
speech in Madison Square Garden. Mr.
Underwood will gladly furnish persons de
siring this literature upon their making
request at his office in the Overbaugh
building, Green street.
TheC. F. & Y. V. Railroad will run a
special train consisting of eight cars from
this city to Greensboro next Thursday, the
17th, the occasion of Mr. Bryan's speech.
The fate for the round trip will be $29.5.
The train will leave here early in the
morning, but th exact hour has not yet
been decided upon.
County Republicans ITIeet To-morrow.
The Republican County convention
meets in this city to-morrow. A split is
threatened. Lively times may be expect
ed. There is a fusion and an anti-fusion
faction, and the two are pretty sure to
clash together. It will all amount to noth
ing, though, for the negroes will be found
blindly following their bosses on election
day.
Fire at Red Spring.
Yesterday evening a fire broke out in
the lumber yard of the Red Springs Lum
ber Company and before it was extin
guished the greater part of the lumber
was destroyed. It was only through the
hard work of a great crowd that gathered
that the mills were saved. Over 200 feet
of railroad track was destroyed as was al
so the commissary and office building.
The loss is estimated at $2,000.
Douglas on Monday Night.
Let everybody remember that the elo
quent Elector-at Large, Mr. W. C. Doug
las, will speak in Fayetteville on Monday,
flight. That morning he will speak at
Dunn, and on Tuesday at Flea Hill.
Mr. Douglas informs us, by the way,
that the people at large are ignorant of
the workings of the electoral vote for Pres
ident and Vice President; that they need
instruction on that point; and that, at
Ellington, for example, several Populists
came up after his speech and informed
bin that, unless there was electoral fusion,
ey would vote for Bryan and Sewall
electors rather than see Bryan lose the
vote of North Carolina.
The populist and republican executive
committees met in Raleigh yesterday and
agreed to fusion ou the State ticket, ex
cepting the Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor and Auditor, on the county officers,
the Legislature and nine Congressmen.
The republican committee took Dockery
down and put Chas. Reynolds in his place
on the ticket with Russell. This extraor
dinary agreement which was arrived at
after many hours of conference between
the bosses of the two parties is as follows:
"First. To equitably co operate to se
cure the election of members of the legis
lature pledged to these reforms with co
operation on county officers.
"2. That the republicans concede the
populist candidate for congress in the fol
lowing districts: Third, Fourth, Sixth and
Seventh and the populists reserve the right
to name candidates in the Seeond, Fifth
and, Ninth, the First and Eighth districts
having made satisfactory adjustment
through their congressional committees.
"3. That the republicans support the
nominees of the people's party for secre
retary of state, treasurer, superintendent
of public instruction and associate justice
of the supreme court.
"4. That the populists support the nom
inees of the republican party for attorney
general, associate justice and judge of the
superior court in the Fifth district.
"5. The good offices of our respective
committees are pledged to accomplish the
results aimed at in this agreement."
Rryan and Sewall Rally at the Club.
There was an enthusiastic meeting of
the Bryan and Sewall Club last night at
the Town Hall. Stirring speeches were
made by the Elector-at-Large Douglas
(who happened to be passing through
town), Maj. W. F. Campbell, Dr. McNeill,
Mayor Cook and the President, Mr. Un
derwood. A number of members were
rolled.
The following gentlemen were appointed
a committee to arrange with the railroads
for transportation of the Fayetteville and
adjacent delegations to hear Mr. Bryan
speak, viz: Maj. McKethan, and Messrs.
S. W. Tillinghast and Geo. Burns. They
will accept the route over which the best
terms are offered. Greensboro and Rocky
Mount are the points on the -Bryan itine
rary convenient to Fayetteville, one on
the C. F. & Y. V. and the other on the A.
C. Line.
We hear that $2.95 is the lowest rate
that will be accorded. It was hoped that
1 cent a mile both ways making about
$2.00 to either point would have been
fixed as the rate.
The Government Cotton Report.
The cotton report of the department of
of agriculture for September shows a de
cline from the August condition of the
crop which was 80.1 to 64.5 per cent., a
decline of 15.9 points. This is the lowest
September condition reported in the last
twenty-seven years. The State averages
are as follows: Virginia, 80; North Caro
lina, 70; South Carolina, 70; Georgia, 7t;
Florida, 72; Alabama, 66; Mississippi, 61;
Louisiana, 50, Texas, 62, Arkansas, 60;
Tennessee, 61; Missouri, 81; Indian Terri
tory, 60; Oklahoma, 65.
Mr. R. E. Barnes, of Raleigh, is on a
visit to his friend, Mr. J. D. Williams, on
Eowan street.
Deash of Mr. Joseph II. Monaghan.
"Joe" Monaghan is dead. At 4:30 o'clock
this morning Mr. Joseph Monaghan pass
ed quietly and peaceably out of this life,
surrounded by a loving wife and nume
rous relatives and close friends. The
whole city is sad to-day, for the deceased
was one of the most universally popular
men that has ever lived in Fayetteville.
About eighteen months ago he was strcken
with paralysis and since that time has had
a hard struggle for existence, at times it
seeming impossible that he could live an
hour.
Mr. Monaghan was in his 52nd year,
and most of his life was spent in the em
ployment of the C. F. & Y. V. railroad of
which institution he was a trusted and
honored official. .Not long ago he was
taken oat to drive by Mr. Isaac Clark,
and in passing through the streets, one
would have supposed him to have been
some great popular idol, such an ovation
he received.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been made, but it is thought the funeral
will take place Sunday morning from the
Catholic church.
Mr. Bryan's Iietter of Acceptance.
We devote the "inside" of this issue (the
2d and 3d pages) to Mr. Bryan's letter of
acceptance. This compendious document
discusses those parts of the Democratic
platfoitn which were omitted in his other
two formal deliverances, viz : the speech
at the Chicago convention and the Madi
son Square Garden speech. The present
is the complement of the others, the three
containing in general terms all that any
Democrat needs to know of the issues for
which the party stands in this contest.
Judged by them alone, the Democratic
candidate appears, it seems to us, head
and shoulders above all the men of his
time.
Indeed, if we consider, in connection
with these formal outgivings, his readiness
and versatility as an orator as displayed in
his recent tour, his telling gift of antitheti
cal phrasing in both speech and writing
the richness of his store of learning, the
aptness of his illustrations, and his abso
lutely phenomenal powers of physical en
durance, we must account him the most
remarkable American since Jefferson.
A Hog Case.
Yesterday morning quite a large crowd
of the good citizens of Gray's Creek and
Cedar Creek townships, were in attend
ance on Squire Overby's court. A case
entitled J. E. Hair vs. F. C. Emerson, was
the attraction. The case involved a hog
valued at $3.50. Perhaps 20 witnesses
were subpoenaed, and as many more peo
ple were present. Mr. Hair's hog got into
the "no fence district" of Gray's Creek
township, and it was taken up and im
pounded by Emerson. Mr. Hair took out
claim and delivery papers before Squire
C. A. Cogdell, of Beaver Dam, and upon
affidavit of defendant, the case was re
moved to Squire Overby. Mr. Hair con
tends that the "fence law" is inoperative,
as the statute has not been complied with
and the fence not kept np as required. The
case was non-suited as it appeared that a
copy of the bond had not been served.
This was done upon plaintiff's motion.
