alAsoN's AND wooDABD's FIGHT.
The Gospel Of Silver is Driving the Pop
ulists from Republican Fusion.

Tarboro, N. c., Oct. 20.-(SpeciaD-
Capt. Tom Mason is still storming the
forbiications of the hosts Of error in
this eastern country, and causing con
sternation in every gold-bug camp.
He spoke at Greenv.lle to a great
crowd of Pitt county's voters on Fri
day. He went from there to Grinns-
land, where he addressed large au-
dience Friday night. On Saturday he
went to Washington, where he was
greeted by mighty host of Beaufort
Democrats. A hundred mounted men
and five hundred others hailed his ad-
vent into the staunch old Democratic
stronghold
At each place the gallant, fearless,
able, brilliant Mason edited the be-
levers, amid called many of the vaver-
ing into the fold of honest white money
and honest white men.
At Tarboro to-day a large crowd
greeted Congressman Woodland, and
MIR. Mason, and for three hours and
over, listened to as strong and forcible
speeches as the good people of old
Edgecombe have heard in many years
Mr.. Woodland led off at TarbOro with
a powerful presentation of the truths
for which the masses of the people
everywhere are fighting. Capt. Ma
son followed in speech Of nearly two
hours that perfectly captiyated the
crowd
Two blocks away John NJ LangstOn,
the brother i'm yaller" from the Old
Dominion, was making a hundred and
fifty or two hundred of Russell's "sav-
ages yell Ike mad men as ne told them
how awful it would be if a single soli-
tary savage" among them should cast
ballot for a Democrat.
There is a mighty rallying of forces
around the silver banner in this eastern
countrY. Where There were thirty-one
Popnlist voters, twenty-nine of them
have declared, since the refusal of the
PopuEst committee to unite the silver
forces, that they were going to vote
the Democratic ticket from constable
to President.
The little gold-bug county fnsionists
and little Mark Hanna committeeman,
as Major Guthrie called them, are
trembling in their boots.
You needn't think | am going to
vote for any g0ld-bug for anything, for
/ am not going to do it," This or some
thing like it is the expression Of every
Populist | have talked with to-day,
and the way these silver men in the
East, pOpulists and silver Republicans,
are going to scratch gold-bug fusion
tickets, both State and county, is go
ing to astonish the manipnlators no
little.

THE OPERA LAST NIGHT.

The sparkling opera Of Fra Diavolo
was given in a very sparkling way
last night at the Metropolitan Opera
House. There was quite good audi
ence and well trained caste, If this
series of operas now going at the
Metropolitan be q trifie worn, they
have not been heard for quite awhile,
and are, therefore, recalled with
pleasure by those who hear them. Be
sides they are jolly, make folks laugh,
and are light. just the thing to pass
an evening. But be it said that the
Disrobing Act last night was an inno-
walton in Raleigh up to which or down
to which our people have not yet been
educated. The operas are clean
enough; there is no use in sprinkling
on too much pepper. Mascotte to-
night.

It's the protection idea. The repeal OF
reciprocity and the passage Of the VIII.
son. German tariff bin are responsible
Mckinley has not the personal popu.

individuality Of Cleveland. lie is q
man OF very little magnetic attractions
lie Is not brilliant, nor witty, nor
wise lie isn't . great orator. lie
never makes q speech without careful
preparation, and he has not the gift OF
cloqucncc. His social qualities have
never been developed, and as q CONVEX.
sationalist as well as q DICTATOR he Is
slow aud heavy. Mckinley is student,
a man Of facts and figures, who has
never attempted to master but one sub.
ject, but that happens to be the subject
that Is uppcrmost In the minds OF the
people today, and constantly reminds
them Of their empty pockets. In ises
the citizens Of the United States. who
number 7o,ooo,ooo and are mostly fools,
as Thomas Carlyle would have said,
got notion that tariff reform would
make them al, prosperous and happy.
So they blamed every misfortune they
suffered to the Mckinley bill. and
voted the Democratic ticket. They have
had nearly four years to reflect upon
their mistake, and now they want a
chance TO correct It. Mckinley is asso.
ciated with that mistake more closely
than any other man, and they think
they can atone for It by making him

Judge Piper erred In requiring the STATE
to alternate it, challenges with the de.
fense. the latter having twice a. many
~ the prosecution.
The other point on which Piper wa
Oyerruied was his instruction to the
jury that they could not convict unless
they should find that the violation OF
the statute was made with intent TO de.
fraud the county.
rhe case OF J. IL Gaffney W. Judge
Piper Was also decided. The Genesee
bank went into insolvency and the cred.
itors elected Gaffney assignee. Judge
Piper refused to appoint him, however,
aud appointed an assignee Of his own
motion.
The supreme court says Of this &C
ton on the part Of Judge Piper: "This,
a. unwarranted rs ii was, is unheard
Of in the annals OF judicial assumption.
The express provisions OF the statute
are ignored. AS well AZ the rights Of the
creditors ~ established by Law. The
action OF the district court Is reversed
