dent Cleveland has offered the friendly services Of

not confirmed the North German Gazette" In
intensely hostile criticism thereon written upon
the assumption that the report rs true. tells Spain

OF the United States has any right to tender his
advice In the Cuban matter. or rather. TO tell the
American Government 10 mind its own business
The "Vosssche Zetung" says: IF the United States

She cannot go to war with the United States. but
America cannot expect any European State how

The United Press finds excellent reasons for say
Ing that the views expressed by the two newspapers
above quoted do not represent the opinion OF the
Kaiser, who thinks that Spain ought not to reject
the friendly diplomacy OF the President OF the United
States. but rather should show a willingness to

COERCION DENOUNCED.

Members of American Railway Union
Expose Republican Methods.
:gggy-Ezsszsss sSgseszss ~
Terre Haute, Sept. 10.-The directors
of the American Railway Union last
night issued an address to all members
of the A. r. u. and to all railway en-
ployes in the United States, denouncing
the coercion of railway employees to
Join Mckinley "sound" money clubs
and calling on all wage-earners to vote
for BRYAN. The address is signed by
Eugene V. Debs, James Hogan, Sylves-
ter Keliher, w. f. Burns, r. NJ. Good
win and M. J. Elliott. The address
says the coercion praeticed is of mon
strous Importance, describes the meth
DDS practiced as astounding" says
the round houses, depots and shops
have temporarily been converted into
practical wigwams and the employees
intimidation to join the gold standard
clubs by the railway managers. I'VE
know of many instances" continues
the address, "where employees are
plainly given to understand that their
continuance in service depends upon
their supporting the gold standard can
didates. The country stands amazed
at such bold and shameless intimida-
tons" The address declares that it
is not free silver that has enraged
the railroad moloch, but the Demo-
cratic platform on government by in
junction. This, it says, is the milk in
the cocoanut. The Injunction history
of the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North
Michigan road and the Jenkins in
junction restraining employees from
quitting the service of the Northern
Pacific because Of the reduction of
wages under penalty Of being commit
ted to jail are reviewed. The election
of Mckinley, the circular says, would
mean the perpetuation of government
by injunction, the supremacy of the
corporations and the helpless subjec-
ton of employees.
The Democratic platform is common
ded.
In conclusion, the address says: eve
pledge our united and unwavering sup
port to William J. Bryan and appeal to
all railway employees and all working
men to join with us in rebuking cor
porations' tyranny"
Judge Caldwell's designation OF
Bryan's nomination as the greatest
since Lincoln, was heartily concurred
in.

rHE CHATHAM RESOLUTIONS.
Peedybee Bryan defeated Congressman
Strowd's Basis of Fusion.

Allusfon was made yesterday to the
action of the Populist convention IN
Chatham county, voting down resolu1
tion introduced by a supporter o.
Strowd. The resolution tabled was;
"Resolved That we accept the terms
of co-operation as recommended by
the conference committees of the Popu~
list and Republican PARTIES, ON condl-
ZION that they (the Republicans) agree
TO support the nominee of the Populist
rarity for Congress In the 4th Congress
sionaI district, and that this PROPOSE
ton stands open until the goth day OF
September. 1896. In The meantime
both parties shall have the right to ac-
cept or reject this agreement"
Everett Bryan. of Peedybee fame,
who was nominated for the House,
spoke vigorously against the PROPOSE
tion. and it was rejected 10y an over
1vhelming majority. He said that this
conference committee, when it had
met the Republican committee, had
made the same proposition, and the
Republicans had rejected 1t, and he was
sure that the Republican convention
would reject fusion if an endorsement
of Mr.. Strowd was insisted on. He was
evidently willing to sacrifice Mr..
Strowd in order to have fusion, and
thus las he thinks) save the county
ticket. on which he is a candidate.
In the convention two earnest
speeches were made against fusion, one
by w. C. Pearson, who said that more
votes would be lost than would be
gained by a fusion, for there were hun
dreds of Populists IKE himself, who
would not vote for a fusion with gold
standard Republicans"
Harmon Sears also spoke against
the resolutions in an earnest and i'm
pressive manner, warning his party
against fusion, and declaring that he
had no axe to grind and did not intend
to help ANYBODY else to grind an axe, I'M
less he would "chop in the Populist
new grounds"
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan, OF
course, is an endorsement of the last
Legislature. and will make its acts and
tloings an issue in the campaign. 1t
is suggested that, if he is reelected, the
next Legislature may follow the eX-
ample of the last, and give another slice
OF Chatham to Alamance or some other
county.
One significant feature of the con-
yention was the empty seats in the
space usually occupied by the colored
people. The most of the colored lead
ers. who posed as Populists in 1894,
are now pronounced Republicans, and
advocates of Mckinley.
Since his nomination, ex-senator At
water has publicly declared that he
would not be a candidate if a Republi-
can is placed on the ticl<etwith him, and
MIR. Bryan has declared that the ticket
could not be elected without Republican
help, so lit looks as if things were badly
mixed.-Chatham Record.

Advancement wanted. And yet he

cords upon matters they professed 10

to vote for the very railroad SUBSIDY
they had denounced Ransom Tor sup
porting. Pritchard argues that II ne
can help none of them into county OF
fees, and hold out bait TO other posi-
tions under Mckinley, if he should be
elected he can carry them even against
Butler. He confidently belleves that
all except a few with such induce
ments can be induced, if necessary, TO
actually declare against free SILVER
and everything else they have adVo-
Gated. Is Pritchard right? Wait ana
see"
Ex-senator Hiram ID. Mason, of
Chatham, was in Raleigh yesterday He
is a Republican, and an ardent Nc
Kinlev man. He says that fusion has
not been effected in Chatham yet, and
that the Populists offered it only upon
terms that 'no gold standard" men
can be on the ticket. He says, as this
would rule out all supporters of Nc
Kinley, it may not be arranged

ed. The speeches insulted every negro
who respects himself who was present.
There was no appeal to his intelligence,
to his responsibility, to his ambition.
There were vulgar jokes, obscene and
indecent illusions, profanity, abuse,
appeals to race prejudice and to pas
sion that was contemplate. There
were negroes who laughed and seem
ed pleased, but their respect for their
leaders was not increased when they
coolly thought about the incendiary
and obscene utterances. The speeches
we're more indecent and infammatory
than were made to the negro twenty
years ago. Do these Republican lead
ers think we are still ''sayages' as
Judge Russell declared?. 1t looks so,
