PARTY WITH ONE ISSUE.
AN EFFORT TO CONCEN
THE SILVER FORCES.
Former Political Bridges to be Burn-
ed and Loyalty to the White Metal
to Calcine Every Other Hope
and Aim-COnyentions

60 Calc1ne Every Oiher Hope
and m-Conventions.
We had a pleasant call last weet
from Mr.. q. F. McKesson promi
nent attorney and lecturer, of Nor
canton. During his visit, Mr.. Nc
Kesson gave us the following piece OF
important news, which has not been
made public before. Mr.. McKesson
said:
The silver men in North Carolina
are now arranging to hold township
and county conventions all over The
State, either late in this month or
early in December, the township con-
ventions to appoint delegates to the
county and the county to appoint
delegates to State convention. The
time for the State convention will not
be earlier than April, 1896.
Ii is the purpose of the silver men
to organize new party with no plank
in it but free silver at 10 TO L. No
questions will be asked as To any
mans past political associations or
opinions. 1t will make no difference
whether man is d free trader, or a
high protecLlonist, whether Demo
crat, Republican or Populist, whether
Jew or GENTLE, Greek or Barbarian.
The only question will be: Are you,
above all things, honest in your advo-
cacy of free silver? Ii SO, you must
burn all your bridges behind you,
sever all past political ties and lend
your influence to the proclamation of
a new Declaration of Independence in
North Carolina. Loyalty to silver
must be the transforming purpose
that cAlcineS every other hope and
aim.
The silver men in North Carolina,
ny thus getting together, feel that
they can organize such powerful
party in this State that will sweep all
others off the deck and by thus TAX
ing the Initiative will give new life
and vigor to the cause throughout the
Union.
IJ Is probable that at the State con-
venJlOn some such man as j. 5. Carr
will be nominated for Governor,
Worth for Treasurer, Marshall Mott
for Attorney General, u. G. Pearson
for Auditor, some Eastern Republi
can for Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and some Western Pop
ulist for Secretary Of State 1t is not
known that either OF these gentleme en-
named would go into the new move
ment, but If they go in as on the con
ditiOns above mentioned there is
strong probability they would be
nominated by acclamatlon.
The prominent Democrats who en-
gineered the late convention in
Raleigh and preached to the people
Ito gotto any party that would give
relief" and then "hIckered at the
pinch of the game" are, as l am in
formed, not in it.
Personally, you know, said Mr.. Nc
KessOn. L am out of politics and AN
giving you this only as matter ol
news, and news that promises import
ant developments.

LIGHT BREAKs-GooD PRICES
Weekly Review Of winston's Tobacco
Market,

The market has remained quiet
most Of the past week, owing to the
continued dry weather. On Thursday
| the spell was broken to some extent,
bat the rain was a cold one and tobac-
| co did not ''come in order" to much
extent and the week was dull one as
| usual in leaf circles. 1t is believed
now, however, that the dry weather is
at an end and that heavy sales will be
the order of the near future.
On all the sales this week good
prices were realized and there is
very stroug demand for all grades.
One of our leading manufacturers said
to The SENTINEL this week that leaf
was selling higher than he had known
IL for the past ten years.
The entire trade is anxious to buy
and bidding is quite spirited over all
offerings. BOJh manufacturers and
dealers are looking out for stock and
are willing to pay good prices on all
desirable tobacco
A well posted tobacco man said this
week that smaller percentage of the
crop has been sold up TO Nov. 1st than
ever before. This will make the sales
very heavy when seasoDable weather
sets in.
Manufactured tobacco continues to
go at a rapid rate. Manufacturers
dre we'll pleased at the trade this fall.
The high price of cotton has made busi
ness brisk intheSout b and the demand
for tobacco is Keeping well up. The
manufacturers Will close the year
with good prospects for the future
and every promise of big years
work in '96.
The stamp sales for the week are as

The War in Cuba.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Not in modern times and seldom
in history has snch a travesty on tn"
art of war been presented as that
which Spain is now giving in Gu "a.
She has now in that island an army
of 80 900 men This is 10000 more
men than the whole British army in
India Seldom has So large an army
invaded a country SO small The
-ocall-d battles which are fought in
Cuba increase the humor OF the stu
atiun. We read of desperate Ell
counters between the Spaniards and
the insurgents which continue four or
five hours and leave three or tour
killed on each side and half q dozen
wounded The Cuban patriots are
alarmed and very few of them have
ever had the slightest military train
ing or experience. 1t is almost in
credible that an army of alleged
regulars numbering $4,000 in SC
small an island as Cuba does not
overcome the insurrection in a few
days 1t simply shows to what
miserable weakness poor old Spair
has fallen.

CHANDLER PkEDIOTS WAR
Says We Must Fight England, With
Russia as Our Ally.


Russia as Our Ally.
CONCORD, Oct. 29.-In a leader in
his newspaper, the Evening Monitor,
Senator Chandler predicts war with
England. He writes under the cap
tion, "Our Coming War with Eng
land; a Prediction" and summarizes
and comments in this language:
''1. War between the United States
and England is inevitable.
SO. 1t will arise on account of Brit
ish disregard of our direct interests.
$50. 1t will also be forced by British
encroachment upon other nations all
over the world.
81. 1t will be fought by US, having
Russia as European ally.
IS. AS war, offensive on our part,
it may not happen within 20 years. AS
a defensive war it may come sooner,
and should be welcomed.
IS. One sure result will be the cap
ture and permanent acquisition of
Canada by the United States"

The Apple Crop.

The estimated apple crop for this
year is &c, 256, 900 barrels, against
81, ,627, 600 last year. The crop in
the New England States is but
little over half that of last year, and
in New York and Pennsylvania
third larger. The Ohio crop is two
and a quarter times as large, and in
Michigan a third less. The largest
gains are shown in Indiana, Illinois
