All ofthe big northern railroads refused

ALL ofthe big northern railroads refused
to grant reduced rates to the Bryan noti-
fication meeting. The only roads that
did it, so far as The ENQUIRER has any
information, were the Seaboard and the
Southern. The Seaboard took the initia-
tive with thousands of posters, gotten up
in silver and blue, and announcing the
great rally for Bryan and 16 to l, and the
Southern was forced to come to time also.
But the efforts of the railroads to detract
in the least from the importance Of the
occasion proved futile. People were in
New York from all parts of the country,
and the great hall in which the speaking
took place was packed to suffocation. 1t
would have been much better politics for
the railroads to have given the elowest pos
sible rates, and then set upa claim that
the immen Sc crowd was composed alto
gether of wild silverites, rather than
mainly of citizens of New York. But the
gold people have been knocked off their
balance so completely that they are no
longer able to act in anything like a
rational manner.

York's Assess ments.
Columbia State, Wednesday: The mat.
ter of the extra assessment placed by the
county executive committee of York
county upon the candidates for state
offices, has been much talked of in the
last few days. Under the action of the
state committee no county committee
has a right to make any such assess
ments. One or two of the candidates
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-08-15

it is said have sent the amount of the
assessment to the York committee as
''present," declining to recognize the
right of the committee to assess. A MEM
ber of the state committee said yesterday
that if the York committee refused to
count the votes of any candidate because
he had not paid the assessment, the state
committee would have to step in and take
a hand.
Mixed the Figures.
Mr.. w. N. Elder has called the atten-
ton of the reporter to the fact that THE
ENQUIRER got the figures he used in the
court house the other day to show the
progress that had been made under the
Reform administration somewhat mixed
up. Cotton mill capital, he said, has in
creased from S6,OOO,0 600 in 1888 to S25, ,OOO,'
600 at the present time, and by far the
greater portion of this increase has been
since 1890. Over 500 miles of railroad
have been built since 1890, about l,0Ol
miles have been taken out Of the hands Of
receivers, and there are now in the hands
of receivers onlyabout $50 miles.
Created a Sensation.
The story was published in The EN-
oUIRER of last Wednesday on the authori-
ty of one of the candidates, to the effect that
it is rumored that slate has been agreed
upon, produced something of sensation
at Blacksburg. Several Of the candidates
came to the reporter of The ENQUIRER
about the matter, and all denied any con-
nection with the matter themselves; but
most of them admitted that they had heard
OF such things, and some named their
competitors as guilty parties. To get at
the exact truth under the circumstances,
would of course be impossible, and each
voter will have to be his own Judge. Al
Blacksburg, one Of the candidates said
that at Hickory Grove every man would
be asked as to what he knew about the
slate business.

- In another column it is stated that
Mr.. T. G. Folly of Anderson, was a MEM
ber of the gold standard conference held
in Indianapolis last week. The ENoU1R-
Err got the information from the New
York World, one of the bolting newspa-
pers. 1t has developed that there is no
T. G. Folly in Anderson ; but there is G..
F. Folly. Mr.. Folly was requested to 60
to Indianapolis; but did not do it. Ifthis
is fair example of the manner in which
the list of delegates was gotten up, it is
pretty safe to say that the Indianapolis
meeting will not amount to a great deal.
