The third party people now put their figures
for their vote in this state at something like So,
600, drop Of 5000 in few weeks. One or
two OF them have admitted belief that the
democrats would carry the state.
There Is queer state OF affairs concerning X.
y Linney. republican. who is aiding Judge
Furches republican nominee for governor, in
bis canvass Two years ago Linney and one E.
Is. Jones signed the following contract: "lf dur
ing Harrisons administration the internal rev.
enue taxes on tobacco and fruit brandy are abol-
ished Jones agrees to vote the republican ticket;
II not, Linney agrees TO vote the democratic
ticket This was witnessed by members OF
three parties and was registered by the register
OF deeds. Linney is in an awkward nix. He
VIII have to vote for the democratic nominees
and the democrats are declaring that he is vio-
lating the spirit OF his contract by canvassing
for the republicans. There was never in this
state so strange a complication.
There may be a row before this exciting cam
paign ends. At Fayetteville last FRIDAY there
was great crowd TO hear the joint discussion
between Butler, third party nominee for cleo
tor, and Glenn, democratic nominee. Butler
courtesy then by Glenn than at any other time.
Glenn jumped up and declared that if Butler
charged him with being discourteous he was an
infamous liar Third party men and democrats
made rush for the stand and free fight was
avoided by the GOODNESS OF few leyel-headed
nch- oHe man started Tor Glenn and interrupted
him in his rejoinder. but promptly made to
take his seat by Glenn telling him 10 sit down,
that he would not be interrupted by any man.
Butler said he had not charged Glenn with dis
courtesy, whereupon Glenn said if that was so.
he desired TO withdraw his charge of infamous
liar that he would allow no third party
man TO get ahead of him in beng a gentleman.
No such meeting has ever been witnessed in
many wears.
The republicans this week are conducting
their campaign in very active way. They
have ten speakers in the field and are pressing
their work. Most of the speakers are in the
central and western parts of the state.

PROVIDENCE, K. l., October 10, 1892.
Snug little Rhode Island will be as busy as q
bee hive for the next four weeks True, it
hasn't o governor to elect, but its congressional
contests will be sharp and bitter, while the
state is claimed with equal confidence both for
Harrison and Cleveland. Politics can never be
called dull in Rhode Island. Its state election
comes in the spring, SO that every other year
they have spring and q fall campaign to
handle, to say nothing Of the municipal cleo
lions every winter. These fights keep the state
In constant training, while the closeness OF all
the contests and the small size Of the state have
evolved type Of practical politics. that can
not be surpassed for efficiency and thorough
ness.
Until the property qualification as prerequi-
site for voting was abolished the republicans
could view without alarm the increase Of their
prolific democratic neighbors- A foreign-born
resident could not vote unless he owned $l35
worth Of real estate, and a. the republicans
held most Of what little real estate there was In
Rhode Island they did notsworry. Some ten
years ego, however, public opinion became too
strong for this ''relic Of barbarian" and the
state constitution was 30 amended as to place
adopted Rhode Islanders on the sane footing rs
there kin in other states.

Correspondence of The Evening Star
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Oct 10, 1892
The results OF the elections held last week in
Georgia and Florida have very much dampened
the enthusiasm Of the third party leaders in
Alabama and the democratic war horses say it
has made this state Ii certainty for Cleveland
and Stevenson. The chief war cry Of the peo-
pies party voters in this state has been wait
and see how we will sweep Georgia" The
Weaver leaders in this state can give no excuse
for the defeat Of their ticket in Georgia except
to raise the old cry Of fraudulent elections"
The leaders among them held a conference in
Birmingham last week. Reuben F. Kolb was
present at the meeting. The gathering took
the shape OF an advisory conference. The third
party people realize that something must be
done and that quickly to stem the tide Of the
great democratic wave.
The conference, 1t is said, was not q harmo-
NOUS one. As has been stated In these columns
before, when nearly q month ago the third
party and Kolbites held joint state conven-
ton in this city they made, as it is alleged, O
deal with the Moseley faction Of the republics
party, and as the result put out a mixed cleo
toral ticket and congressional candidates on q
platform part republican and balance third
party. This was done in hope Of defeating
Cleveland. 1t was known that certain ele-
ment Of Kolb's followers who had previously
been democrats, wouldn't support a straight re-
publican ticket, and at the same time it was
clear that the Moseley faction of republicans
wouldn't give their assistance to Q straight third
party or democratic ticket
Therefore it was evident that in order to 90
complain anything at all it would be necessary
to fuse the kolbites, peoples party and republi-
cana fusion ticket was put out on that basis
and 1t was thought that all parties concerned
were satisfied and would work harmoniously.

RALEIGH, N. c., Oct 10, 1892.
The third party is now known to be making
the most strenuous efforts to secure the negro
vote. II it cannot get the negroes to vote for
Weaver it asks them to vote for its state can
didates, and If they do not wish to do this then
they are urged to vote for the county and
legislative nominees. This plan is being
systematically followed. 1t is q new one and
no one can estimate the result SO far ss the
negro votes Is concerned. The negroes are un-
usually reticent now. They appear to feel their
importance since two parties are after their
vote. The democrats are not soliciting the
colored vote, but say they will get good deal
Of II, nevertheless, particularly in tho towns.
In fact, the cities and towns are the democratic
strongholds this year. The third party has
tried to arouse feeling against the townspeople
among the country people. They are at work
among the negr oes in the country and are
using the blacks who belong to the alliance -
levers. The negro alliance Is even more secret
than the white one and there 10 cooperation
between both.
The democrats now assert, and with much
show of truth, that there Ia an oath taken by
many OF the third party men to support the
latter party. Whether this 10 taken by those
who are in the alliance, or only by those who
are "Gideonites," is not known yet No doubt
this matter will be discovered later. There are
many Gideonites. There 10 reason 70 believe
that the latter were In large part organised by
q man now in charge Of third party state affairs.
Since the third party put up its state ticket
1t has said very little about r A Cobb, it,
nominee for lieutenant governor. Tho report
now comes very direct that he = TO b taken
down and that W. h. Worth, tAs nominee for
treasurer, has gone to Sampson county 10 urge
W. r. Pigford TO accept the place.

A CHINESE SUNDAY SCHOOL CLOSED.

that the Chinese Sunday school work has been only
temporarily abandoned but 1t may never be resumed
mt the church. of which the Rev. Dr.. Hudson, until
recently, was pastor
The cause OF the closing OF the school Is the
fact that too many Of the Monaghan pupils married
their teachers. As the latter happened to be Amen
can girls OF respectable families, the biggest kind OF
rumpus the result and much talk was Oc-
casioned that the young women teachers who did
not marry a Celestial either refused not
permitted to 60 TO the Sunday school. Consequently
the pupils gradually dropped off in numbers, and
last sunday there present to make up .
school.
Two months ago the school received something
of blow when Miss Lizzie Field, a teacher, was
married to Lee Wing, one of her pupils. This mar
rage evidently gave the other teachers and the pupils
courage for other weddings followed So much
talk was caused by the marriages that the parents
fused to permit their daughters to the school, The
Cinnamon too soon learned OF the turn affairs had
taken and remained at home.
We had 100 pupils in the school not long ago."
saa Mrs Carlo yesterday, and now the school is
closed. The work. however, will be resumed when
the new pastor takes charge of the church, think.
If we cannot resume with women teachers who are
old enough not t. think Of getting married,
probably get men 10 teach them. The marriage o.
several Of the Chinese bows with American girls GER
tainly did a great deal TO break up the sunday
school but the congregation Is too much Interested
