CIRCULATING FALSE RUMORS.
The Republicans and Populists have
Eclrculated all sorts of rumors about
riots which the Democrats propose to in
slAugurate tomorrow, but the Democrats

'8ADYISED TO VOTE FOR M'KINLEY.
There was quite little stir yesterday
when 1t became known that the State
y chairman of the National Democratic
party had advised it's members TO vote
directly for Mckinley. The chairman
said two weeks ago there were 10000
S anti-Bryan Democrats In the State.
\. The regular Democrats say these figures
must be divided by four, and that of
Z the 5000 not 200 would have voted for

Y city Chairman aver, of the Populist
q Slate Committee. admitted that his
Sswhole knowledge of the matter was

chairman said he had no evidence that
= the boxes had reached North Carolina,
though he had evidence they had been
shipped from Baltimore. Democrats
laughed heartily at the whole business.
4 and said 1t was one of the most absurd
& stories of the campaign. How could
the boxes be used? The Republican

q boxes ready and then in the excite
Inent substitute them for the regular
boxes.
