AYcocK SPEAKS AT SANFORD.
The Number of Scratchers Growing
Smaller Every Day.

Smaller Every Day.
Sanford. N. c., Sept. 3o.-(special) =
Hon. C. B. AycoclS made one OF the
most telling speeches here tonight OF
the campaign. His explanation OF the
great issue of finance could not have
been surpassed. He held the large.
crowd spell-bound. He showed how,
since 1873. every boarded dollar had
earned it's owner 3 per cent annual
interest until now, by reason OF the
contraction of the gold standard. lie
made a strong appeal for all the silver
forces to unite, and such efforts are
bound to enlist all true believers OF
silver in one solid phalanx against the
common enemy. He favored the noble
stand of Maj. uthrie in condemning
any Populist who would vote for a gold
bug when it could possibly touch the
financial issue. He showed up the
rottenness of the Republican party,
and only pitied the Populists for hay-
ing fallen in with party whose car
dinal principle was an appropriation
and an oilice.I am sure no Democrat or
Populist who heard this speech will
scratch any of our common electors,
and in fact the number of scratchers are
growing beautifully less here day by
day.

A secret conference was held here on
Saturday night between National Com
mitteeman Walsh, Democratic, and
state Populist leaders Judge c. c..
Cole, ]. B. Weaver, Thomas Meredith
and others represented the Populisss
The conference was to arrange a basis
for fusion for the two parties Of state
and electoral tickets
It was explained by the Populists
present that they were favorable TO
fusion, and that the majority of their
party was with them; but there was
also middle of the road element OPP
posed TO fusion on any terms. ]. E. An
derson Of Forest City, state chairman,
and A. r. hammond of Cass county
led this element and have vigorously
protested. Despite this the leaders were
satisfied they could deliver the party
endorsement if the ticket was divided
fairly between the two parties. The
Democracy. Mr.. Walsh said. was anX-
ious to make any fair terms He then
made a proposition for division Of The
state ticket between the parties and for
division of the electoral ticket between
Sewall and Watson. 1t was promptly
agreed to by the Populists. The terms
of this proposition can not be learned.
None of those present will say q word
about details.
Unofficially it is reported that the
Populists will receive two places of i'm
portance on the state ticket and three
on the electoral ticket. The bimetallists
will receive one on the electoral ticket.
Those present felt no doubt Of their
ability to carry out the agreement.
General Weaver went to Waterloo to-
night to see Boies.

Senator White of California has dele
gated to Governor Stone of Missouri the

States at Madison Square Garden next
Tuesday. Governor Stone received a
telegram from Senator Stephen White
of California today stating that il would

Kansas Convention To-day.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Aug. 3.-Demo-
cratic leaders have already began gath
ering for the state convention which
will be opened tomorrow. There has
been absolutely no talk regarding the
personnel of the state ticket Interest
is completely absorbed in the probable
action of the joint committee which will
be appointed by the Democratic and
Populist conventions to arrange for fus-
ion. All Of the Democratic leaders be-
lieve that fusion on some basis will re-
suit, but as to just what that basis will
be no one is willing to hazard guess
today.
The claims of victory by the Harris
faction in the Popuiist county conven-
tons Saturday strengthens the proba-
bility Of fusion, as Colonel Harris has
expressed a Willingness to concede to
the Democrats the Bryan and Sewall
electoral ticket on a fusion basis. 1t
was strongly asserted by several OF the
most influential party managers that
under no circumstances would any fus-
ion arrangement be agreed upon unless
the Populist Endorsement of the Chicago
platform with Bryan and Sewall should
be made first

DENVER, Colo, Aug. "a special to
the News from Indianapolis gives a
long interview with DR.. John Clark
Ridpath, the well known historian
who was recently nominated for con-
gress by the Democrats of the Fifth
Indiana district. Dr. Ridpath is a
strong advocate of free silver He
says:
1.-THE silver dollar was of old
the unit of money and account in the
United States. That dollar to this
hour has never been altered by the
fraction of a grain in the quantity of
pure metal composing 1t. Every other
coin, whether of gold or silver, has
been altered time and again, but the
silver unit never"
He continues with the statement that
the laws originally providing for the
coinage of gold expressly measures
their value in silver dollars. He de-
clares that if silver is admitted to I'M
restricted coinage and the option is
given the debtor to pay in money of
either metal, the parity between gold
and silver will be Immediately estab-
lished.

The Mem Who Composed the Chicago
Convention Were There on Prin-
cipIe, Not to Squabble Over the
SpoiIs of Office.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-Governor Alt
geld asserted today that he had no
desire to be attorney general in Bry-
ans cabinet, and declared there was no
truth whatever in the story that he
had made a bargain with Mr.. Bryan
to receive the portfolio in return for
the support of the Illinois delegation
in the convention.
There is not single thing in the
gift of the president that I want Or
would consider for q moment" he said
to a reporter of the Journal, with char
acteristic emphasis. The whole mat
ter is utterly absurd and ridiculous
You may say, moreover" he con-
tinued, that not single one of the
candidates whose names were before
the convention were SO far as I am
aware, approached with any such offers
or agreements as this enc which is
said to have been made for me with
Mr.. Bryan.

ton were not there to squabble' over

fSiIr years he never had seen such a rush
and he claimed that the letters show

At the Republican headquarters a large
working force is kept very busy. 1t is
stated that the public interest in politics

poems and songs, some with music, are
offered. \ letter received from Louisiana

At the national silver headquarters a
number OF interesting letters were re-

and Scandinavian literature and added
that the silver movement was making
rapid progress in that locality.

trical storms which visited Winona
shortly after s o'clock this morning
was one of the severest experienced
here this season and was accompanied
by heavy fall of rain. Reports re-
ceived from the country are as yet
somewhat meagre. In the vicinity of
Bethany considerable damage was
done to grain by hail. Telephone con-
nections have been destroyed by the
storm and exact particulars are hard

Some damage was done to telephone
and other wires by lightning and sew
eral buildings were also struck, but no
serious damage resulted.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Times this
Hung Changes views and the object of
his mission to England. The Chinese
statesman considers, this article says,
that England could, if she had chosen,
have prevented China's disastrous war
with japan. He therefore reproaches
England with waning friendship, and
contends that China was taken by sur
prise when entirely unprepared for
war. He now desires as. an evidence Of
sympathy that England should con-
cede to China the right to make a
substantial addition to the duties
charged under the treaty between
them, uron goods entering Chinese
ports.
The fall Of silver, Ii Hung Chang
contends, has rendered the revenue
derived from these duties half its
original value. Japan has already Sc
cured a similar relaxation of old re-
strictious.
Ii Hung Chang hints, according to
the Times article, that this increase in
China's revenues viii be devoted to
the purchase of warlike store in Eu-
rope.
He assures u.s." says the Times,
that he has great reforms already in
operation, including provision for a
fleet and an army which within five
years will place China in a position
that would render impossible any such
defeat as she recently sRdured."
The Times says in an edit9Tial on
the foregoing: when definite pro-
posals are made England viii be ready
to discuss them on business footing.
Unless the increase in duties. is ac-
companied by greater facilities for
trade in other directions, it can only
operate to restrict the volume OF bust
ness If ON his return to China Ii
Hung Chang Will make a beginning by
insisting upon an efficient protection
to Europeans in the interior and the
abatement of vexatious internal i'm
posts and will guarantee equality in
treatment between the seaboard and
the land, frontier trade and by salts
flying US that the concessions will not
be used to carry out secret understand
ings with our rivals. he may be as
sured that England will not fail to re-
spond in a practical manner"
