HE CAN'T RUB 1T OUT.
BROKE UP THE MEETING.
Durham Bryan Supporters Resent Be
ing Called Dishonest Regulators.

Durham, n. c., Oct. 29.-(speciaD -
There was a gold-bug speaking here
tonight. The speakers were Messrs.
Wm G. Peckham and Burton Harrison,
Of New YDfk; and Prof. Sykes, of
Princeton College. They spoke in the
court house.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Harrison said that it was "a fair ques-
tion whether a Republic or an Empire
was the best for the people" The au-
dience numbered $50, composed mainly
of Bryan supporters, and were very
orderly and respectful until Prof. Sykes
denounced Mr.. Bryan and his sup
porters as dishonest and disreputable
repudiators. He was interrupted by
kissing. 1t was all due to his own in
suits to the Bryan suportrs.
All the speakers claimed to be Demo-
Gratis, but Mr.. Harrison announced his
intention of voting for Mckinley. The
other speakers failed to state whether
they would vote or not.
The crowd was so demonstrative in
their cheers and applause for Bryan
that they stopped the speaking. Capt.
Peay requested them to keep quiet
Vim. Ct. PeckhaIn requested all those
who were. for old North Carolina to
stand up. The whole audience stood.
Peckham then proposed three cheers
for North Carolina, but there was no
response. They refused to respond be-
cause ne called them dishonest and
repudiatOrs.

HANNA POURs OUT MONEY
SECRETARY EDGERON SAYS Nc
KlNLEY is NOW BEATEN.
Attempts to Buy Election Boards in
Each Precinct of All Doubt
ful States

Washington, Oct. 90 Secretary Ed
gerton, of the Populist National com
mittee, to-day issued the following:
''The preposterous claims made By
the Republican committees in regard
to Mckinley are made with the idea of
fraud in all the doubtful States. Nc
Kinley on fair vote, is beaten now
by an overwhelming majority. The
Republicans realize this. Yet, in the
face Of this, they make claims of an
enormous majority for Mckinley, but
give no figures to back up their
claims"
Af. Edgerton then cites a number OF
States claimed by the Republicans and
presents counter-claims and figures
to show that they will be carried by
Bryan, and continues:
esWhy do they make these elairnse
Simply because they are depending not
ON any evidence which they now have
of victory for Mckinley, but on what
they think Hamna's immense cam
paign fund may do. We have evidence
that in the election next Tuesday,
fraud will be attempted ON the most
stupenklous scale ever known In
American politics. One plan is ITO buy
up election boards, and wherever pos
sible, to actually falsify the returns.
But the plan ON which they depend
most is as follows:
In each precinct Of each of the
doubtful States they will buy up pur-
chasable men in this way: They viii
give man so or SIS, and pledge him
that after election they will give him
SO much more if he holds the vote of
that precinct to certain figure. They
win buy as many men in each precinct
as they can find for sale. Already in
each of the doubtful States they have
cappers bought up by the hundreds to
handle Republican money on THE last
two days before the election and on
election day, and the plan will be, not
TO buy men outright, but to give them
so much money with a pledge to double
the amount if they hold the vote of
that precinct to a certain figure. We
have indisputable evidence that this is
the plan on which Mark Hanna and his
underlings place their final depend
ence. If he does not contemplate
wholesale bribery in the election, why
has he collected such an immense
campaign fund a fund which proba-
bly, already reaches many millions Of
dollars? He cannot spend so much
money for the Legitimate expenses
of the campaign. Then, for what
purpose does he intend to use it if not
for wholesale bribery? We warn the
free silver men in all parts of the
country, and especially in the doubt
full States, to be ON the alert, and we
notify all Republican heelers who pro-
pose to distribute this Doodle that the
penatentiary awaits every man who is
caught attempting bribery, coercion
or fraud in this election"

STANDING ROOM ONLY IN CANTON

Canton, O., Oct. Historians of
the Republican campaign of 1896 will
record Thursday, Oct %, as one of
the red letter days. Maj. Mckinley
has been kept busy since early morn
ing and visitors came so fast about
the middle Of the day that he could
not find time to lunch till after
o'clock. One party was in town be-
fore seven o'clock, but considerably
delayed their call till the Major had
finished his breakfast. Others came
at short intervals during the day and
the crowd became so large that the
speaking had to be transferred from
the porch to the reviewing stand. Ev
cry caller was intent on shaking
hands with the nominee and SO far as
possible the opportunity was grant
ed, thought it was a Herculean task.
At one time the crowd became so
large that it was Impossible to or
ganize a line for hand-shaking Tecep-
tion But hundreds in that party
fingered about the house waiting for
the Major to re4appear and to wards
evening he came out upon the porch
to meet them.
Maj. Mckinley made five formal adj
dresses, the last to seven car loads
of people coming from Fulton, and
Williams counties, Ohio and Dekalb
county and other Ohio counties.

SPANISH PROGRAMME IN CUBA.
They win Occupy Everything There is
Left Incidentally Bagging Maceo.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Spanish
Minister Deputy Dupuy de LONE, has
returned TO Washington after a three
months summer vacation in New
England, and to-day called on Secre-
tary OlneY at the State Department.
The Minister'S family and his large of
fetal staff returned with him, and the
Spanish legation offices are again open.
It is understood that the Minister'S
call on Mr.. Oiney was without special
significance.
The military status in Cuba has un-
dergone a complete change within re-
cent days by the heavy augmentation
of Spanish troops and the opening Of
an aggressive fall campaign. The
Spanish forces arriving at Cuba from
March s, 1895 up to one month ago are
placed alt 1886 men, distributed as
follows: az generals, 638 chiefs, 1884
officers. and 15s, ,937 soldiers, including
infantry, calvary, artillery and en-
gineers. The campaign just opened is
along new lines and seeks to occupy the
inaccessible mountain passes and
swamps in which the insurgents hith-
erto have found a retreat. The battles
recently fought, it is stated, are bu:
the opening of this campaign of i'm
yading the insuTgent strongholds. The
Spanish official reports are uniformly
favorable as to the successful progress
of the Spanish campaign, and contra
diets The unofficial reports of the in
snrgent successes. The understanding
at the Spanish legation is that the
main desire of the authorities at Ha-
wanna is to execute such a conspicuous
and decisive stroke, such as the capture
of Aiaceo, as would show beyond doubt
to Madrid and Washington that
Spanish arms are triumphant.

Supposed Insinuation of Watson.
Washington, Oct. 20. Secretary Ed
gerton OF the Populists National com
mittee said to-day in reference to the
statement of Mr.. Watson that he
(Edgerton) might be able to tell some
thing about the letter of acceptance
that Senator Buffers mail did not
pass through his hands. Mr.. Edgerton
added that a statement from the post
master of the Senate showed that the
Watson letter had lain in the Senate
postoffice for several days on account
of negligence of a new messenger. Mr..
Edgerton said emphatically that if Mr.
Watson's letter is published it will have
to be given out by Mr.. Watson as the
committee viii not make it public
Mr.. Edgerton ALSO said: 81 never saw
Mr.. Watson's letter of acceptance un-
til Monday last, when Senator Butler
called me up to his house and read it
to me. / was very much surprised
that a man of MFR. Watson's standing
should make such AN msinuation when
he had not a scintila of evidence to
back it up"

EVEN HUNDRED FOR BRYAN.

New York, Oct. 29.-National Com
mitteman Manley made the appended
forecast at Republican National head
quarters to-day:
after q careful revision of all re-
ports received at headquarters from
every State, / feel perfectly sure that
Mckinley and Hobart will carry twen-
ty-seyen States and receive 307 electoral
votes. Mr. Bryan win carry 13 States,
with 93 electoral votes. There are five
States with AZ electoral votes in doubt,
Of which the chances are strongly in
favor of Mckinley carrying three, with
40 votes, and Bryan two, with votes.

A. Y. sIGMoN CRATES
Thos M. Holman Replies With Strong
Argument Whitener Against
Pritchard.

Hickory, N. O., Oct. 90 (opecial)- -
On Monday night the town turned out
en- masse to hear a joint discussion
between Thos NJ. Holman, ESQ, and
Senator A. Y. Sigmon.
No one who was fortunate enough
to hear the Senator in the recent Leg
islature can doubt that as a political
orator he occupies a position peculiarly
his own. Those who attended in the
expectation of hearing something rich
were not disappointed. The applause
and cheers were deafening at each rally
of the Senator.
What" he exclaimed, at one point
in his speech, before I'd endorse the
income tax I'd burn my hat and go
to the devil before breakfast"
The Republicans have written Chair
man Holton TO send Walser or some
other speaker here to meet Mr.. HUFF
ham. They are determined to make
an awful example of the latter.
Chairman Jas. III. Sheriff. has issued
a circular to the Populists advising
them to work for the ticket, especially
for the Republican and Populist fusion
candidates.
No mention whatever is made of the
electoral ticket. In the mighty strug-
gle to elect coroner and surveyor the
existence of Bryan may have escaped
Sherrill's mind. Judging from reports
which are received here from the
country the Democrats have a show to
carry Catawba this year. The rock
ribbed fusion of two years ago no
longer exists.
Mr.. C. r. McKesson, of Morganton,
was in town this week and is pleased
with the outlook his section
1--WE are going to carry Burke this
year." he said. "The Populists are
with us. / consider Pearson's election
to the Legislature assured"
At Piney Grove, on Saturday, J.. r.
Whitener, fusion candidate for the
Legislature, came out fat-footed with
the declaration that he will not vote
for Pritchard or any other gold man.
Mr.. Whitener has hitherto been nom
cOmmittal on the subject.

BUTLER ON THE SITUATION
MINNESOTA, MICHIGAN AND IN
DIANA CERTAIN FoR BRYAN,
No Failure Of Fusion in Any State
Where Chances Would Be
lnperIlled,

Chicago, H., Oct. go Senator But
Ter, chairman of the Populist National
committee, who arrived here last night
was with Vive-President Wlashburn in
consultation with Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic committee much of the
time to-day. They have gone over the
details of the campaign at considera-
bic length together They authorized no
statement, butitis understood that they
agree in chasing Minnesota, Michi-
gan, and Indiana as certainly for Bry-
an. Much time was spent in discuss
ing the aspect of the Populist vote
and Senator Jones was assured by
Messrs. Butler and Washburn that the
vote will practically be unanimous for
Bryan.
liz is,o said Senator But
Ter, Gin much better shape
than we could have hoped
for at the beginning of the campaign
There are, to be sure" he continued,
"a few States in which the fusion
has not been arranged, but there has
been no failure in any State where Mr..
Bryan's chances could be imperiled
by failure
Mr.. Jones was also assured that
there need be no apprehension that
Mr.. Watson would do anything to
imlAeril Mr.. Bryan's chances. His
much discussed letter of acceptance
will not be given to the public. Sena-
tor Butler viii not give it out and it is
understood that Mr.. Watson has also
agreed to withhold it. 'SMr. Watson's
letter." said Mr.. Washburn, 'is very
much in the line of his public speech
es and nothing could be gained by its
publication at this late day"
1t is also stated that Mr.. Watson will
not participate further in the cam
paign than to make a few speeches
in his own Congressional district in
Georgia.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-The supreme
court has ordered new trial for Alonzo
j. Whitman, who was convicted of for
gerry and sentenced to nine years imprison-
ment Whitman was formerly very
wealthy. He was elected mayor of Duluth,

ALARMING DISCOVERY
In a Crowded Section of the
Western Metropolis,
A TRUNK FULL OF DYNAMITE.

1t Was Left In Chicago Three Years Ago
by an Anarchist Named Bestman, and
There Is Enough of It to Destroy an
Acre of Property.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.- Joseph Bestman,
said by the police to be an anarchist, left
at No. Is Sedgwick court three years ago
this fall trunk containing sufficient
dynamite TO have destroyed an acre of
property In Chicago and to have taken the
lives of hundreds Of citizens The dis
covery was made by accident Bestman
was not found but the police received in
formation that he is living in Dallas, Tex
and wired the chief of police there to ar
rest him ut once.
The discovery Of this enormous quantity
of explosive matter and the story of Best
man himself, so far as now known to the
police, brings to lighta tale of anarchistic
plotting such as Chicago has not had re-
vealed since the dark days Of 1885, when
the existence of the city was threatened
and Spies and his comrades swung on the
gallows for the bomb thrown at the Hay
market massacre. Much correspondence
with the condemned anarchists was also
found

CoNsTANTINoPLE, sept. 21.-The sultan
has issued a long reply to the collective
note of the powers in the matter of the
massacres at Constantinople. He declares
that these massacres We're provoked by
Armenian revolutionists. He denies fatty
that the rioters were known to and di-
rected by government agents, and asserts
that the Armenians assumed Mussulman
costumes in order to perpetrate their
crimes. The fury of the Mussulmans, he
asserts, was directly due to threats on the
part of the Arlnenians. Concerning the
attitude of the police and soldiers who
were asserted to have aided the rioters the
sultan announces that an inquiry will be
made, and that if guilty these officials will
be punished.
