second day of the Charleston earth quake
gala week brought 1000 visitors to this

WAX E-S CANVASS CLOSED,
Gen. Cox and the County Candidate.
AT Rogers >:orc-Ciosc of
Great Sampai.u

The Wake county canvass was prac.
tically closed yesterday with the ap-
pointment at Rogers Store in Bur
tons Greek township. which has been
looked upon as one OF The hot BIDS of
the third party.
There were gathered there some
one hundred or more voters, both
white and colored, and among them
some who were avowed third partv
followers, and while there were some
who would not be benefited by anv
thing which could be said or done in
their behalf, still when the sun went
down every voter at Rogers Store
was better off than if there had been
no speaking there yesterday.
The county candidates each made
good speeches and seemed TO be at their
very best as il upon the home stretch
OF race which they were bound to
win. Each one in his turn took the
stand and weighing well what he said
sent his words straight home TO the
ears, heart and soul OF his hearers.
Gen Cox was there and he was call
ed upon and lie did some most excel
lent work. He went into review of
the damaging legislation which has
been placed upon the statute books by
a republican congress and told of the
many efforts of the democratic house
Of representatives TO relieve the labor
ing classes which have been killed by
republican senate.
General Cox was at home before a
Wake county audience and he was lis.
tened 10 with great interest. Many
who were there had served with hin
during the days of the civil war and
We're greatly influenced 10y what he said
He reviewed the question of tariff leg

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1.-Several
days ago Henry M. Cleveland, of Brook
lyn, this state, addressed letter to ex
Judge H. l.. Harrison, of this city, ask
ing his reasons for resigning from the
republican league. Judge Harrison's
letter, in reply, bears date of October
goth, brief extracts of which are as fol
lows:
Il resigned from the republican league
because l could not endorse two of the
leading features of the present admins
tratlon and especially because l believe
the position taken by the party managers
in Connecticut upon what are called state
issues is radically wrong. Upon the sub
ject of tariff I am a republican of the
Garfield school, but not of the Mckinley
clan. l have believed since Mr.. Hayes
withdrew the troops from South Caro-
lima in 1877, that the time for federal
legislation on the subject of elections
has passed. The strongest objection to
the bill passed by the house in 1890 is
that it is designed for use in
one part Of the country only.
The people of New England do not
want federal interference with their elec-
tions. We have no right to impose upo n
| the people of the south a system of fede-
raj supervision of elections which we do
not need nor ask for the north" In con
clusion Mr.. Harrison says; 1--WE need
reform in our constitution. The demo
cratic party of this state is committed
to it"
Judge Harrison has always supported
the republican party. He has served ii
both branches of the state legislature
and in 1877, was speaker of the house @
