BUTLER DoDaED
Denonnclng the Democrats as Well as
Republicans.

Republicans.
STATEsvILLE, N. c., April
9.-At the joint discussion
between Robbins and Butler
here today 1000 or 8 900
were present and gave
both speakers a patient and
courteous hearing. Alliance.
men from Catawha, Rowan,
and other adjoining counties
were presentinlarge numbers
and were liberal in applause
for Mr.. Butler, but the radi-
calls and the negroes present
also manifested their delight.
Maj. Robbins made an able
and convincing argument
against t h e sub-treasury
plan, the government owner
ship of railways, and was es-
pecially strong against the
plan to pay the federal sol
diers over again as demand
ed by the st. Louis conven-
tion. He denounced the COLI
spiracy of Polk, Butler and
Others to lead the alliance
democrats into the third par
ty. He made an eloquent
plea for democratic suprem-
acy and unity which was ap-
plauded by all.
1 Mr.. Butler started out by
saying that he was not 60
ing to makean alliance speech
but was simply going to re.
ply to Mr.. Robbins. He de.
nounced the two old parties
with great impartiality, de
nounced Cleveland, denounc
ed Hill, and, though he wat
asked the question three OF
four times if he would sup
port the nominee OF the Chi
cago convention, he dodget
it every time. The first tim
the question was put he an
swered it by asking if Rob
bins would vote for the nom
inee if the convention adopt
ed the st. Louis demands ant
nominated a man in sympa
thy with them. Robbins re
piled that ne would for tn
reason that he had no ide,
, that the Chicago convention
would do such a thing. But
ler's answer was, that if tn
Chicago convention adopt
the North Carolina platform
he would support the noini
nee. Upon being pressed 10
an answer, he said that if
i, majority Of the people IN tn
next state convention sal
that he ought to vote tina
!. way he would do SO. Th
speech Of Robbins was col
vincing and, among the il

Bold Play for Admission

Friends.
President Harrison Alleged
to Be Indifferent as to a

New YORK, March 26.-Ex-Mayor
William r. Grace has written today
long letter to prominent Southern Dem
ocratS, in which he gives resume of
the reasons which have, in his opinion
led to the Demo cratic revolt in this
state, in which he says:
"If did not feel that it was an abso'
lutte necessity for the success of the
Democratic party to appease the feeling
which exists in this state against the
machine by reaching fair compromise
in Chicago, do not think would take
upon myself the burden of labor which
have already assumed; but, as mat
ter of patriotic duty to the state, and as
matter of salvation for the party next
fall, l think it Will be easy to
show that our work Will be productive
of immense good. One thing L can as
sure you, that the men vino will repre-
sent the state Democracy at Chicago
will act with prudence and good judy
ment for the interest of the Democratic
party and not for the interest of any
individual. OF this you may be assured,
and it is for this reason that | hope for
your aid in securing US admission to the
convention as delegates.
ut is lncOnceivable to me that the
South should for moment think Of set
ting aside Cleveland, who is the only
man in our time who has made the
Democratic party respected by the really
conservative elements of the North, and
who has been the means of rallying
within the Democratic ranks some of
the most intelligent aud most patriotic
members of every community in the
Northern stateS.'

was: "There will be no war between
England and the States, no matter what.
the present outlook portends. look
upon the controversy as politics merely,
for know that England does not desire
the seals txterminated, whatever the
cry may be now for modus yivendI.
The question of mare clausum, or sea
limit, is the one that should be settled
definitely. Now the mare clausum for
the United States is that portion of the
sea within fourteen miles from the
shore, because long-range guns can
shoot that far. Formerly it was only
three miles. but as bigger guns have
been made the limit has been extended;
This Behring sea matter will be settled
amicably, believe, but politics will be
played little in the meantime"
LONDON, March 26.-Some OF the pa
pers fear that conflict might be pre-
cipitated by the indiscreet action OF
naval officers. Vice Admiral Sir Rowell
Salmon has written letter which is
published today, IN which he says that
the commanding American naval officer
will presumably be instructed to cap
ture any vessel, whatever flag she sails
under, that he finds catching seals with
in the United States claims to be mare
cl&u I'm, using force if necessary. The
British commanding officer will be or
dered to forcibly prevent any such IN
reference with British vessels. If both
officers execute their instructions. Ad-
miral Salmon asks, how can collision
be avoided?

Chief Signal Officer Accused of
Breach of Discipline.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-An officer
of the army of high rank is authority for
the statement that court martial may
be ordered within the next few days for
the trial of Gen. a. w. Greedy, chief
signal officer of the army, for viola
ton of the general orders of the war
department. Mr.. Greely'S offense con-
sists in having addressed the secretary
of war and members of the COM
mittee ON appropriations in opposi-
ton to placing the new military
bureau of information under the
immediate jurisdiction and control of
the adjutant generals office. Adit. Gen.
Kelton has brought Ger. Greely's
breach of discipline to the attention of
the department in letter, which COM
ments severely upon the violation of
general orders. In his letter Gen. Kel-
ton says Gen. Greely's action in ad-
dressing members of congress in order
to bring about what he had failed to
secure from the secretary of war
amounts to threat of characterization,
and demands a severe rebuke, il not
court martial. Such recommendation
as this is usually sufficient at least for
a court of inquiry, and Gen. Greely's
friends and defenders are somewhat I'M
easy at the outlook.

Gen. Alger could not be induced to
speak of his own candidacy, except to
repeat that he was still in the race, and
that he would heartily support the nom
inee, whoever he might be. He was
quite anxious to learn how the publica-
ton of official records of the war de-

HARRISON CoQUETTING.

New YORK, March 26.-The Com

lowing special from Washington: Some
days ago Senator Proctor was quoted as
saying that President Harrison would
not be a candidate for denomination,
The publication called forth a number
of denialS, though none from the presi-

today upon the very best authority that
Mr. Harrison does not now want re-
nomination, and that he is very doubt
full about letting his name go before the
convention at all. 1t was not asserted
that Mr.. Harrison positively would not
accept, but it was said that he was dis
Inclined to run again, and that he would
not accept the nomination unless it came
to him without the least opposition, and
the situation seemed to make his re-
election reasonably sure. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Harrison would not OBJ.

Mckinley or Senator Allison.

Chairman Austin Christler, Of the town

ten miles from Eau Claire, had Won
derful escape from instant death yester-

MrKINLEY DEFEATED.
Foraker Men Take Shot at the
Governor.

Governor.
4 COLUMBUS. O., March 26.-The defeat
of Gov. Mckinley in the election of
temporary chairman of the state con-
vention last night was the most auda-
cious and vindictive action of the long
continued Foraker-Sherman fight. The
Foraker men evidently deliberately
planned to humilate the governor for
the part he took in the senatorial fight,
and, it is said, pledged themselves to
support him in order to induce him to be
a candidate for the craftsmanship.
The Sherman men at first in
tended to make Speaker Laylin
chairman, but in the interest of
harmony consulted the Foraker men,
bers. Finding them favorable to the
governor. they suggested biz instead of
Mr.. Laylin. And then they were dis
mayed to see the governor defeated by
Representative Charles j. Griffin, a
Foraker leader, whose name was sprung
at the last minute. 1t in predicted that
the Sherman men. who will probably be
in control of the Cleveland convention,
will not permit Mr.. Griffin to preside.
