On this writer's way to Asheville with Chairman Manly last week, the latter men tioned that Senator Morgan would make two speeches in North Carolina, and sug gested Fayetteville and Wilmington as the two in which selection, of course, the writer warmly concurred. To-day a letter has come from a prominent gentleman in Washington stating that he had just parted with Senator Morgan, who was departing for his Southern tour, and that he would reach Fayetteville in a few days. We have telegraphed to Chairman Manly to know the exact date, if he knows, and nope to give it in this iseue. Mr. Klnttx and the State Committee not Diseourteona. When in Raleigh day before yesterday, the writer, complained to Mr. Kluttz that he had not given notice of the cancelling of his recent engagement for Fayetteville, and that citizens here had been compelled to telegraph late in the day to ascertain whether accident had befallen him on the way. He and that careful and punctilious official, Mr. Secretary Thompson, who was present, expressed astonishment at the whole matter. Mr. Thompson added that he had sent a definite telegram early in the morning, as soon as it was discovered that Mr. Kluttz could . not come, ai:d that when the telegram of inquiry came from one of our citizens late in the day he couldn't see through it all. The Fair. I " " It is now only about six weeks before the Cumberland County Fair. The dates are Wednesday the 11th, Thursday the 12th and Friday the 13th of November. The Fair comes off just after the election and whatever way it goes the people will turn towards the Fair as a traveller in a desert would towards water, they will have been so exhausted by a campaign in which their nerves were kept at the highest tension, a campaign the like of which this country had never seen before, one in which the people of this Republic were actually battling for their liberties." If Bryan wins, and it is more than likely, then the people will look to the Fair as a plaee to gather and have a great jubilee. Mr. Watson the President of . the Fair Association informs us that every effort is being made to make the Fair a grand success, but that this cannot be accom pushed without the help of the merchants and others. He says that if $250 can be raised for racing prizes that the Assoc i ation will give $250 and that then they can get the great racing syndicate to bring their horses here. If this is done Cumber land will ee some magnificent racing. Let's have a fine Fair in Noyember. Nobody. The Republicans at Warsaw yesterdav made no nomination for Congress, but en dorsed Fowler, the Populist nominee. This is in conformity with the trade made at Raleigh between the Republican and Populist Executive committees, by which the Populists have the Congressmen in certain districts and and the Republicans in the other districts. If this trade is carried out throughout the State it will send four goldbugs to Congress. There are evidences that this trade will not be carried out, and that our Republican friends in this district will be left in the lurch. We are informed that a maioritv of the delegates favored making a nomination. but H. 1. Grant, Hanna's man, appeared on the scene and the result was different. Texas Orerwhelniingly for Bryan. We met this morning Mr. Clem McDon ald, son of Mr. A. J. McDonald, of Cedar Creek, who has been living in Texas for the past ten years. Mr. McDonald says that the statements in the gold bug papers that Texas will go against Bryan is the basest fabrication. He says that he lives in the centre of the politics of Texas and that Bryan will carry the State by over one hundred thousand majority, notwith standing the fusion between the Republi cans, middle-of-the-road Populists and gold bug Democrats. "The great majority of the people of Texas want the free coin age of silver and they are going to vote for Bryan. The middle-of-the-road Poo ulists are leaders in the pay of Hanna, this everyone knows, th gold bug Demo crats do not amount to much and we have always been able to take care of the Re publicans," says Mr. McDonald.
