TILLMAN AT CONCORD.
The Crowd Was Small and His Speech
Was Disappointing.
Special to the News and observer.

Special to the News and Observer.
CONCORD, N. O., Aug. ID.
Senator Tillman arrived on the vesti-
bule at $50 from the North. At 1890
in front of the court house he delivered
his speech of one hour and half to an
audience of about seven or eight hun
dred, one-fourth of whom were Demo
Gratis. Tillman was introduced by Pop
ulist lawyer named Caldwell.
There was no enthusiasm, except when
Tillman pictured starvation coming or
abused the Democratic administration.
His sIe9ch was poorly delivered and was
the weakest presentation of the financial
question that has been in the county.
Scores of intelligent men were heard to
speak of it as very disappointing effort
and many Of them are friends of silver.
Tillman said he was Democrat, but
if the presidential nominee was not an un-
questionable simon pure silver man h.
and his South Carolina crowd would go
elsewhere. He spoke of many of the
Populist principles as crazy and foolish
notions. His speech was an encourage
ment to them inasmuch as he was bitter
towards the Democratic leaders. He
asked them if they could not give up
their crazy notions and party name and
fight under free silver banner regard
less of the party name. Only one said
yes. One would judge Tillman as favor
ing a new party.
He was not applauded by the Populists
when he declared for white unity and
said that the negro could not be crammed
down his throat. He made a special
plea for white supremacy. He wanted
the PopuIists to give up local strife for
small offices and join in the effort to get
the Southern Democrats and the Western
Republicans united in the fight for free
silver. In this connection he said we
will not be satisfied with presidential
nominee on this side of Mississippi ri yer.
The morbid desire to see the one-eyed
tyrant brought out many people, but his
effort was disappointing in the extreme.
He does not seem to understand the
question himself.
After the speech Senator Butler was
called His vicious countenance ap-
peared, and the Populists were happy.
His speech was the usual sterotyped
abuse of Cleveland.
Butler wore no vest, had ruftied shirt
bosom, and grinned whea there was ap-
plause.

concealed weapons and unlawfully
assembling. The Court directs you to
carry your investigation as far as you
can to ascertain what other persons
were engaged in violating the law.
I take it, Mr.. Foreman, that all
good citizens, regardless of color, are in
terested in the enforcement of the law.
1t would seem to me to be perfectly po-
tent to all intelligent persons of both
races, that the law is stronger than any
combination of evildoers, and that the
law will be enforced, and with strong
hand if necessary.
81 hope in this emergency all persons
of both races, who value the peace of the
land, and all who value their own safety,
will endeavor to assist the Court or its
officers in the execution of the law. l
want it understood that the law will be
enforced, it matters not at what cost. "

AN INV vEsTIGATIoN ORDERED.
Judge Browns Instructions to Grand
jury i'm Regard TO the Riot.

Upon the assembling of court Monday
morning Judge Brown summoned the
grand jury before him and submitted to
them the following well timed remarks
~'Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the
Grand Jury:
cit is the duty of the court to call the
attention of the grand jury to matter
directly affecting the welfare of this
community. You are again in the pres
ence of the court, to call your attention
to disturbance which occurred in this
county and town last night. The law
forbids unlawful assemblies and riots.
All riots, routs and unlawful assem-
blies are regarded as unsafe and as
menace to the peace of the com
munity. On last night, about l
o'clock, the Court was called upon
by the sheriff and by the mayor OF
the town, to lend its assistance and
its moral influence, as far as it could, to
the suppression of an anticipated dis
turbance. In company with the Mayor
and Sheriff, the Court went to the Jail,
and found assembled there several hun
dred persons. In the hope of preventing
any disturbance the Court, personally,
unattended, went among this crowd to
ascertain its purpose. The Court found
they were all practically armed, and
with their weapons in open display. The
Court was informed by some of them,
whose names the Court was unable to
get and doesn't know, that they anticl-
pated there would be some injury done
to prisoner who is now on trial The
Court assured the crowd, there assem-
bled, that it would be almost i'm
possible for any injury to be done
to this prisoner; that the Court being
in session, his trial being preceded
with, was a practical guarantee of his
safety And in order to quell the dis
turbance the Court directed the sheriff to
put a quad around the Jail in order to
allay the fears of the people who had
assembled there. They then promised
to go home peaceably. The Court was
informed, afterwards, by the sheriff,
that they still surrounded the Jail and
were in a very menacing condition; and
of course, as the law must be enforced,
the Court directed the sheriff to arrest
all persons caught armed and in unlaw-
full assembly, surrounding the jail and
bring them before the Court and commit
them to jail until the Court could issue
warrants for them. The Court in
structed the sheriff to use no more force
than was necessary to make all persons
obey the law.
1.-The Court believes that the sheriff
used no more force than was necessary;
but | cali your attention to this matter
for the purpose of asking you to in
yestigate it. The Court is informed
that there are seven or eight persons in
jail, arrested by the Sheriff under
direction of the Court. Bills will be
sent before you by the Solicitor
against these persons for carrying

FREE COINAGE MUST COME.
Senator Vest Says the Question VIII
Never be Dropped Till it Does.

copyrighted by the Associated PressI,
CARLSBAD, Aug. 13.-"The silver ques-
tiOn will never be dropped in America
until free coinage is passed, " said Sena
tor George q. Vest, of Misso ri, here
to-day, replying 10 questions put to him
by representative of the Associated
Press concerning the Missouri, Mis3is
sippi and Iowa conventions.
The people in the East, " he continu-
ed, "believe it will be dropped as bust
ness revives; but, the overwhelming sen
tlment in all the West and South is in
favor Of free coinage. 1t will surely be
passed in time. What the result OF its
passage will be / am unable to predict.
The whole of the money power of the
East and the banks everywhere will un-
doubtedly make it as difficult as possible
and try to furnish a striking object
lesson. Fasteners say we in the West
and South do not understand the ques-
tion. But, there never was a subject
more fully discussed or more carefully
studied. There is not a farmer in my
constituency who is not fully prepared to
discuss intelligently all the bearings Of
fairs exists throughout the Southwest. "
Senator Vest was then asked to ex-
plain the action of Kentucky and Iowa
if the feeling was so universal. In re-
ply he said:
81 cannot express an opinion regard
ing Iowa until know how the conven-
tion was constituted. If it was similar
to that of Kentucky, composed of State
officials and Office holders, it is no critic
riOn of public sentiment. They would
naturally coincide with Cleveland and
Carlisle"
In regard to the prospects of an inter-
Vest remarked: "It is generally conceded
that the other powers are awaiting the
action of England and from all accounts,
England will not alter the gold standard.
a prominent English official was here
recently, a gentleman who had the con-
fidence of the new ministry and he had
several long conferences on the subject
with Mr.. John Wanamaker. He said:
'FRest assured that England will not
alter the gold standard. "
Referring to the outlook at home, the
Senator stated that "the gold reserve is
steadily decreasing and the Treasury is
likely to be obliged to make another bar
gain with the syndicate.
81 regard it as an outrage that we
should be obliged to pay bonus of elev-
en- millions to foreign syndicate, rep
resented by Belmont and Morgan, in or
der to prevent gold shipments. Their
contract expires in October, and there is
nothing to prevent them from again for
cling the sale of more bonds, or let the
obligations of the United States go to
protest, as Morgan threatened Mr..
Cleveland before"
Senator Vest is greatly improved in
health, and the doctors say he has no
serious ailments.

telegram from Minister Ransom in
reply to letter calling his attention to
the report that he had given out an in

His reply was: "All mistake, not one
word of truth, in any statement reflect
ing on Mexican officials"
Later Mr.. Ransom sent another tele
gram asking the papers to give an en-
phatic denial, and stating; "There is no
ground for the statement. The reverse
is true. Every word of mine has been
most favorable to Mexican officials.

WELDON, N. O., Aug. 13.
The statement in the Washington Post
in which Senator Ransom is quoted as
saying a new extradition treaty is re-
quired in order to prevent embezzlers
from the United States escaping extradi
ton by using money among the Mexican
authorities, is one of the greatest mis-
takes that could have been made.
Senator Ransom has never said a
word that could reflect in the least upon
the Mexican officials in any way, but on
the contrary has always spoken of them
in the highest possible terms. Senator
Ransom was seen here by me to-day and
he positively denies having used such
words. He is greatly hurt and grieved
that such a report should have been
published.

Officers and citizens anticipate no
trouble to night. However, there is no
telling what may occur before morning.
Militia and an extra police force are still
on duty. Only one disturbance was
raised last night and that was occasioned
by citizen shooting at some fighting
cats. 1t brought out some rifemen and
officers on double quick time.
A Gatling gun arrived from Charlotte
at 1890. The Winston train was held
at Greensboro until the train from Char.

seventeen hundred shots per minute. 1t

of negroes viewed it with curiosity today.
When the train arrived in Greensboro
last night the report was given out that
q big crowd of negroes had congregated at
the big trestle, one mile below Salem, for
the purpose of capturing the gun when
the train arrived at that point The
Charlotte contingent loaded up for any
trouble that might happen. When the
train arrived at the bridge, it slowed up,
but the reported mob was not there.
There were only two darkies at the
passenger depot when the train pulled
in. An officer searched these, put Iound
nothing like shooting iron.
After the jury returned verdict of
murder in second degree in Tuttle's case

the prisoner in the verdict rendered.
The jury in the Tuttle case returned
