He Varies the Programme Somewhat from tbe Las One at the Sense Place A Most KxciUn.gr Political Campaign j Oa-fior- - Bays Republican Bveeeas ta the State Heau B pablieana to the Senate H Eliicott Crrr, Md., 8ept.:21 -Se. a tor Gorman was to-day the &tar attrac tion at ad all-day mass meeting in Lo renzo WarfieldV? woods,; at Glenelg, a central point in Howard county, and the scene of many big political demon strations . in days gone by. Senator Gorman made a memorable address there in the presidential contest of 1892 in which he eulogized Mr. Cleveland. A train load of Baltimoreans, includ ing the Democratic candidates and Democrats well-known in the city and State, arrived . here at 9 o'clock this morning and were taken in charge by a reception committee. An imposing procession of horsemen formed an escort to the State candidates and moved up the Baltimoreand Frederick' turnpike toward the place of meeting, tea miles away. Two brass bands furnished in spiring music as the cavalcade marched on GleDelg. Ex-Governor John Lee Carroll, whose campaign 20 years ago was only exceeded in excitement by the present contest, presided over the meeting. He made a stirring address from a sheltered stand, appropriately decorated. Other speak ers included Mr. Hurst, the gubernato rial nominee, and John P. Poe, Attor ney General. Senator Gorman was wildly cheered as he stepped to the front of the plat form. His address was liberally ap plauded throughout. Senator Gjrman began his remarks by allusions to the character of the candi dates, both of whom he declared are hon ored citizens and would fill the office of Governor with personal credit and abili ty; but he said personal success was a secondary consideration, except as they represent principles and theories relat ing to governmental affairs. The real question is: Which of the two great parties, Democratic or Republican, shall have control of the State for the ensu ing four years. He was aware that Mr. Lowndes and the leaders of the Repub lican party in the State have made and are making frantic appeals to eliminate all questions of national concern from the canvass. They are aided in this ef fort, he said, by a few discontented and disappointed men heretofore acting with us, but whose interests or whose malice lead them to desire Republican success rather than Democratic supremacy. "The complex character of our gov ernment," he said, "Federal and State, has necessitated the formation of pres ent parties, which in their objects and principles almost forbid and prevent a purely State campaign. The national parties are the parties in the States, and the organization and .principles of the national parties are those of sub divisions in the States. Hence the na tional Democratic and Republican par ties are contending this fall for success in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in New York, in Maryland, and in other States, as preliminary and preparatory to the great contest for the presidency in 189G. "Federal politics are so interwoven with individual prosperity, so inter mixed with the general welfare and so bound up with the success of citizens of every State, that it is impossible to eliminate Federal issues from State campaigns." It was not astonishing, he thought. that the Republicans should desire to avoid national affairs. He thought it safe to say that one-half of this party is asnamed or trie record they have made in the past eight years. Alluding to the coming into power of toe Democratic party, with the presi dency, and controlling both houses of Congftess, for the first time in 32 years, the Senator remarked: "Two year is a shorj period in gov ernmental affairs in which to accom plish great results, or to recover a great country from the evil effects or vicious influence of 30 years of bad legislation and worse administration. And yet, I assert, without the fear of contradic tion, that no party in this or any other country has brought about so many or so great reforms in the interests of the people, or did so much to insure their liberties as has been accomplished by the Democratic party since tbe inaugu ration of President Cleveland on March 4th. 1893." He referred to the pledges of the party to the people to repeal the McKinley bill, abolish subsidies, secure a safe and sound currency, and, in fact, to rescue the country from all the evils of Repub licanism, which, during three decades of Republican misrule, have been in flicted upon the country. He siid the heedless and ill-considered financial legislation of the Repub licans did not produce its effects until '93, and in that year, said Mr. Gorman, the business depression became so gen eral that the whole country seemed likely to become panic-striken. The business depressions, closing of fac tories, drain on Treasury reserve, etc., were enumerated at some length, and "these" said the Senator, "are some of the extraordinary conditions of public affairs by which the Democratic party was confronted when it came into power." The long fight in the Senate over the Sherman bill was a subject of the speaker's attention. He detailed the struggle, and said for a long time the Democratic party was unjustly held re sponsible for the condition produced by the Republicans, and for the delay which was unavoidable. As we look upon it now, he said, the wonder is that the victory was achieved so soon. The Senator elaborately traced the leg islation resulting in the repeal of the McKinley law and the enactment of a Democratic tariff measure under which, said he, more laboring men and me chanics have had their wages raised than ever before in the history of the country, and when business has re sumed its normal conditions, the new tariff law will produce revenue enough to support the government economical ly administered. "Mr. Lowndes," said Mr. Gorman, branching into another phase of argu ment, "who heads the Republican ticket of this State, may well appeal to his followers not to discuss national questions- I know Mr. Lowndes well. tie is a thorough and consistent Repub lican. He stands by his party and with his party. If elected to the office of Governor he will use his great power to noid the State in the Republican col umn. He would see to it, so far as he had the power, that Republicans should be sent to Congress who would vote with and follow the lead of Reed, of Maine, and McKinley. of Ohio. He would have a Senator in Congress in the place of my colleague. Senator Gib son, thoroughly in accord with him and his party upon tbe measures for which bis party-stands. He is a Republican becauses he believes with his party in promoting the interests of corporate nower and of trusts and combines. His education, his belief, his party loyalty would make htm use all toe power- he could command to elect Harri son, McKinley, Reed, or any other dis tinguished person who may be the Re publican nominee for President. He is an honest man, and honesty would re quire that he be faithful to the party, and faithfulness to the - Republican platform and party involves the return to all that tbe Democratic party nas re formed. He cannot afford to discuss these questions before the people of Maryland." - The Senator spoke "at length of the dissatisfaction of certain Democrats in the State. " Everybody knew, he said. that they pretended that it is necessary to defeat the party in order to defeat the Influence of two members of it, and, continued i the Senator, everybody knows that is not the reason. - Ha declared that never in the history of the party was there a more independ ent and fitting action of a party con vention than the one which nominated Mr. Hurst for Governor, -a Referring to the disposition of the Baltimore Sub to the ticket, Mr. Gorman said: "I am for my party and with my party and . its -' nominees on" all occasions, and v at every election, be cause .1 believe my party . : best subserves the interests of the people. Its success at this election cannot in crease the power or give me additional place and honor any more than the elec tion two years ago. The good people of the State of Maryland have already given me all that lever asked for; in deed, more than I expected' ' J " ? ; L Bis only concern was that his party would be. continued, in supremacy in the State and Union. - -: . Concluding he said: "Fellow Demo crats, you have now, as in the past, a great duty to perform- Slander, vitu peration and. misrepresentation cannot and will not prevent you from doing that duty. As much as the Democratic party has accomplished, its mission is not yet performed We must continue that party in power not only to hold the vantage which the people have gained from it two years of power, but to con tinue its reforms, to cut down expendi tures, to reduce extravagances in every quarter, and to maintain the rights of the American people to self-government, so that this great structure may be handed down to our children unim paired. THE POPULISTS WANT RECRUITS. Tbey Are Using the Free 811yer Bugaboo to the Get 4,000,000 More Voters Needed to Elect a Pop, President Mr. L. W. Mo Mnllan Rings Bight. To the Editor of the Observer: Enclosed I send you one dollar for which please send me the Weekly Ob server. I will subscribe to the daily as soon as my subscription expires to some papers I am now taking. I was at Sanford a short time ago and read the Charlotte Observer, and it did me good to know that there was one Demo cratic editor in North Carolina who was not seeking popularity by cussing Cleve land, Carlisle and their administration, and advocating the un-Democratic doc trine of unsound currency. No Demo crat from this county, and I hope none from this district, will attend the silver non-partisan convention, called by "a few leaders of thought" to meet in Ral eigh on the 25th. Democrats who believe in the princi ples of Democracy and party organiza tion to maintain their principles will wait until the Democratic party meets iu primary convention and selects "lead ers of thought" to represent them in the State and national conventions. Self-appointed "leaders of thought" may call a convention, but no true Dem ocrat will attend, for the purpos of such a convention is to discredit the Democratic organization of the State. The Populists and Republicans who will attend will do sj not to advance the silver cause, but to divide the Dem ocratic party, and make votes for them selves. H. E. Taubeneck, of Illinois, one of the most prominent Populists in the United States, in a letter of August 20th, replying to Col. S. F. Morton's article, "Greenbacks and Prosperity," written for the August number of the Monthly Sentinel, says plainly that the silver question is being used by the Populists to get votes from the Demo crats of the South and West. Col. Mor ton advised the abandonment of silver, and Mr. Taubeneck tells him why the Populists should not do it. I will make a few quotations. He says: "We need at least 4,000,000 more votes to elect a President and Congress in 1890. This is a cold fact. Ask yourse'.f, colonel, where are they to come from? You know that we must have them. Are they to come from those who be lieve in 'scientific money?' (green backs.) No. From those who believe in the nationalization of all monopolies? No. From those who believe in the land question? No. All these questions com bined will not add more than 300,000 new recruits to our ranks. Where then must we look for the 4,000,000 votes? Tnere is but one place, colonel, and that is the silver Republicans and silver Democrats who at the present time are making the fight for free coinage inside the old parties." "Thesilver force, outside of the Popu list party, is our only base of supply; our only hope to get enough recruits to win this fight. We must either absorb the silver votes of the South and West or abandon the field to some other or ganization. "You know how difficult it is to con vince the average voter that we are right, while he belongs to either of the old parties; and you also know how easy it is lo convince him otherwise after he has left them. You can make twenty five converts to the theory of 'scientific money' after they join our ranks, where you can make but one while they be long to the old parties." According to Mr. Taubeneck, the Populists care nothing for free silver, except to get recruits to help them "win the fight" for "scientific money." With best wishes, I am, Yours truly, L. W. McMuLLis, Hertford, Perquimans county, N. C., Sept. 18th, 189i. COL. HENDERSON AND JEFF DAVIS. The Confederate President Dined With the Colonel, and Asked Advice as to His Future Course of Action Henderson Advised Surrender. Correspondence of the Observer. Lexington, Sept. 20. To-day Col. W. F. Henderson showed your correspond ent an old scrap of paper on which, in the colonel's own handwriting, is the following: "April 16th, 18G5. President Jeffer son Davis and General Gilmer; Quarter master General Lawton; J. C. Breckin ridge, Secretary of War; Col. Jno. With ers, assistant secretary: Gen. Mallory, of the Navy; Col. Johnson, son of Sid ney, who fell at Corinth; Secretary of State Benjamine, with various others, all dined at W. F. Henderson's for din ner. Held a council of four hours un der the shade of the cedar and the President lay on the ground with his head against the cedar for two hours and slept with others of the cabinet. They then camped at Berrier's Mills. "Colonel Henderson wrote the above that day and haa,kept it among his many bits of interesting history. He lived In those days and took an active part in that which made history in this country. He stated to me that the 16th was Easter Sunday, and then, in his accustomed accuracy of memory and description, said': "After President Davis had dined at my house, six miles from here, with all his cabinet, he said to me: 'I see you are studying law.' I replied: 'Yes. He then asked what I thought best for him to do. I replied to him that he had better surrender right now. "He then asked: 'Would Stoneman's men not. hang me?' I replied that I would eo to Salem and see General Stoneman; that I had near relatives in his army, and having been a Union man myself, perhaps I might have some Influence with the general. The Presi dent somewhat hesitated, but after wards said that he thought he would cross the Mississippi river and set up a government on a specie basis. "That night he and his cabinet camped near Berrier's MU1 on Abbott's creek. The President bad with him some 800 or 1,000 men." ' The State Printers Sue State Officers. Special to the Observer.

Ward, the Sculptor, Will Hake It His Masterpiece The Last Meeting of the Army of the Cumberland. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 21. The adjourned meeting of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, was held this morning and was largely attended. The. treasurer s report was received. The committee on the Sheridan statue fund reported $5,187 subscribed and $2,000 paid to Ward, the sculptor. Ward will make this work the crowning effort of his life. A vote of thanks to the citi zens and press of Chattanooga passed unanimously. On motion of Col.

Little Accomplished Yesterday at the Con stitutional Convention An Ordinance Unfavorably Reported Prohibiting Pro miscuous Marriages. Columbia, S. C, Sept. 21. The clos ing session of the stormy second week of the constitutional convention to-day was of little purpose, although consid erable was done in the way of practical ly killing a good many resolutions and ordinances. Senator Tillman was back in his seat, while Governor Evans took occasion to thank the convention for the resolution of confidence in him which was passed on Thursday in a brief speech. In his speech, he stated that he had no other desire than to act with fairness and within the rules of justice and equity. There was barely a quorum present in the hall during the session and things moved along very uninterestingly throughout. The most important reso lution introduced during the day wts one by Mr. John J. McHan, providing that while no divorce shall be granted in this State, divorces granted in other States shall be recognized. A communication was received dur ing the day from the general secretary of the National League for the Protec tion of American Institutions, transmit ting a memorial which asked the con vention to incorporate tbe principles of the organization in the constitution This has already been done by the com mittee handling the subject. Among the resolutions and ordinances unfav orably reported was that prohibiting inter-marriage between whites and ne groes or mulattocs. SEPTEMBER HEAT.

Democrats and Republicans generally and many Popu lists seem to think there is something in the wood-pile, and while many of them are strong believers in the silver dollar, "they are not anxious to endorse these conventions.

The Lean Aresaat Decrees mm Well as -These ef Geld Hsldis gs The Deposits Account Likewise Lees. : Nsw York, Sept. 31 The New York Financier says this week: The state ment of the associated banks of New York city for the week endin? Septem ber 21st reflects in part the effect of the higher money market and .the move ment of money abroad : and to the in terior. - The unusually large decrease in loans $5,456,000 coming after a continued expansion which had increas ed that item from $506,178,000 on July 27th to $523,698,900 on September 16th, can be accounted for on the theory that loans made at the prevailing low rates during that period have been called in. There has undoubtedly been more or less liquidation on the loan account. Whether the f alii n tt - excess reserve, bringing with it higher money rates, wi U still further contract the loan ac count, is an interesting problem. The rate for loans during the week ranged closely around 2 per cent. The situa tion certainly favors a higher money market. The demand from the inte rior continues, and large remittances were made to the South and West dar ing the week. The sub-Treasury sent in the neighborhood of two million dol- j lars to these sections The banks lost in cash $7,564,700, of which $544,900 was specie and $7,019,- j 800 legal tenders. The decrease in the holdings of gold reflect deposits made with the sub Treasury, or withdrawals from the banks for the purpose," and the heavy loss in legal tenders is a be lated evidence of tbe loss sustained during the previous week, when the heavy movement of gold was at its height. The statement, in fact, does not reflect the exact conditions for the six days which it "is supposed to rep reseat. The decrease of $13,291, 800 in deposits has not been equalled this year.al though in six days between January 26th and February 2nd the loss exceeded 12,000, 000 dollars. That, too, was at a time gold was going to Europe on every steamer, and tbe reserve was falling at an alarming rate. The loss last week includes the decreases of part of the previous week, and it is accounted for, also, by the heavy interior movement and tbe liquidation of. the loan account. As a result of the week's operations the reserve decreased $4,241,750, and now stands at $22,443,500, which, omit ting the bond purchase periods, is the lowest it has been for two years or more.

Cotton Gains 4 to 5 Points on Favorable News from Liverpool and Bullish Crop Estimates The Market Firm. Special by Private Wire to Harrison Watts. New York, Hept. 21. A, firm undertone was plainly discernable to-day and in tbe early business tbeie was an advance of 4 to 5 points partly owing to the fact that Liver pool advices were very much more" favor able than the bears had exDected, the fpot prices there being raised l-32d. and futures 3-Old , with sales on spot of 8,000 bales. Tbe rise in Liverpool, according to private dis patches, was due to the larger business with spinners and to the buying by local opera tors, as well as an expectation that Neill Bros, wiil issaa a very bullish circular next week. Then the Chronicle reported a far ther deterioration In Texas and damage In other localities. Tbe H:uth was btylng here this morning and there was also quite a little local buying, as well as some demand from Liverpool and the continent. Private crop reports from Texas were quite unfavor able. Intense heat in Arkansas was re ported and in the Memphis district It Is so hot that picking is retarded. Towards the close, however, there was some reaction owing to realizing sales and estimated re ceipts at the ports ot 21,000 bales against 11. 819 this day last week and 27.515 last year. If the cotton Is to come to market at all, how ever, it Is time it was coming now. Houston received to-day only 6.24 bales against S.S83 a week ago and 8,974 lat year. New Or leans advanced 4 points and then receded slightly. Spot prices here were firm ai.d unchanged. It is stated that the spot busi ness at interior points In the South Is In creasing. To-day's market not unnaturally was ratner quiet after th very rapid pace of late, but the ooinlon ot the great majority of operators is that tbe market must reach a higher level. Tbe tone here at tbe close was quiet and steady, with sales of 71,400 bales. At Fall River the print cloth market lsflrm. D.U'DiLLaCo. Stocks Recovering Losses. Nsw Yoasr. Sept. 21.

Kiw York Nkws Bubkau. Wheat Drops Seme More. Now Resting Arond 38 Cents Chicago, Sept. JI. The market this week has been much more active than for some ttme, prices having flaotuated within a range of nearly 6e pe- buhel. On Monday the lowest prices prevailed abd some of the large local professionals who bad been heavy sellers Lorn blgber fig a res down cov ered their lines, others however, who still insisted on remaining short were forced to eover later tn the week and their purchases bad a great deal to do with the advance which followed as soon as this sort ot bay ing had ceased, and on selling by the ele vator Interest and l eal parties who bad covered before the advance, also for astern aceonnt, prices became extremely weak and the g i eater ptrt of the advance was lost. Outside of a natural reaction from the great decline we have had there has been relply nothing in the situation to cause higher prices. It is true stocks at winter wheat centres are light and there is a fairly jood demand from mi'lers, as well as a Urge flonr output in tbe-Nortbwest, bat the heavy receipts in the latter section are a dam per to any Improvement so long as t-ey continue.
