NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-with the words
of McKinley's letter of acceptance on near
ly every tongue ex-President Benjamin
Harrison acted as the Eastern proxy of
the Republican candidate tonight and
struck the keynote OF the Eastern cam
paign in an explanatory and careful speech
to five thousand people. Half many peo-
pie composed the audience were denied
admittance because Of lack of room. The
enthusiasm was tremendous and the many
brilliant points were received with hearty
applause. The audience was distinguished
one, and from the early hour when it
cheered the bands Interpretation of Amer
ica," displayed its patriotism in every pos
sible way. Indeed. the vast audience arose
and sang the national anthem with ardor.
The decorations of the auditorium were
entirely of the American colors. Flags
were in many hands. Pictures of the Re-
publican national candidate adorned the
sides of the proscenium arches, which were
festooned with silk bunting. The lower tier
of boxes was gay with beautifully dressed
women and men in evening attire. Mrs.
Harrison occupied one of the boxes with
the family OF Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew.
Colonel and Mrs. Fred Grant were in an
other; Mrs. Edward Lauterbach and
friends in another On the stage were such
people of prominence as the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor. Timothy S. Wood
ruff, of Kings county; John w. vrooman.
Lemuel E. Quigg, Chairman Hanna, of the
national committee, and nearly every Re
publican of prominence from the city.
In the matter of applause the audience
was very impartial and liberal. not making
any favorites. The main part OF the hall
filed early and every well-known
arrival, from George Francis Train to the
chief guest of the evening, General Har-
rson, and his escort, John Wanamaker and
Cornelius Vanderbilt, was received
with applause. This latter reception
amounted TO ovation, the audience
standing and cheering, waving hats. hand
kerchiefs and flags for fully five minutes.

CHAIRMAN DEPEW.


There was a vocal solo descriptive of the
march TO the sea of Sherman, and then DR..
Depew stepped to the frcnt of the platform.
When the hearty applause had subsided
DR.. Depew, as chairman, began his re-
marks. He was unctuous, and every other
sentence filled with sharp shafts of ridicule
which the audience enjoyed heartily. He
said:
This is an interesting and memorable
meeting. 1t is the opening of the Repub-
lican campaign. There is a peculiar fitness
in having the keynote of the most impor-
tant canvass sounded by one of the ables,
and the wisest of the line of american
statesmen. His presence is a Republican
platform. 1t is prosperity work end wages
The memory of his administration and the
beneficent conditions which prevailed dur
ing its continuance relieve the distress in
which the country has since been plunged
and is full of hope and promise for the
future. In these days of theory and fancy
and folly run mad, We calmly point to the
four years under Harrison and confidently
say that the policies of sound money and
protection which then prevailed. with a
wise and capable President, will come
again to the people Of this country when
the policies Of sound money and of pro-
lection once more prevail with another
wise and capable President.
Every schoolboy in America has de-
claimed and been taught by declaimine
the famous speech of Patrick Henry which
fired our forefathers TO undertake the war
for independence. He was pointing out the
results which must follow the continuance
of the policy of Great Britain and enforcing
the lessons that any sacrifice dnd any peril
were better than the inevitable ruin and
degradation which would come from sub
mission. Then ii was he said: I have but

that is the lamp of experience. | know OF

issues which have been so suddenly forced
upon us in this campaign, the past is full

TerreIPs Dispatch.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 27-The riots
which yesterday caused so much excite
ment throughout Constantinople are appar-
emily at end. The leaders of the mob
which attacked the officers of the Ottoman
Bank surrendered and Wall be expelled from
Turkey. The official account OF the troubles
attributes the riots TO an organized effort
the part of the central committee of
the Armenian revolutionists TO stir up a
revolution. The invaders, as If by a pre-
concerted arrangement, suddenly entered
the great hall of the Ottoman Bank. car
rying revolvers. daggers and dynamite
bombs. Forming in small groups, they
were accosted by the officer of the
guard who demanded from them state
ment of their business with the bank
Without stopping to reply they blew out
his brains and then killed and beheaded
the gendarmes, throwing the heads of the
dead men out into the streets. During the
resultant confusion they closed the doors
of the bank and. hurled number of bombs
into the street. Four Turkish ladies who
were driving along in carriage were
blown to pieces by one of the dynamite
bombs. Two French employees Of the bank
while descending from window by means
of a rope. were wounded by one of the ex-
plosions. and escaped death by reason of
the timely Intervention of the imperial
troops.
The rioters also captured a hotel In the
city of Constantinople. Bombs, bullets and
missiles fairly rained on the heads of the
passers-by, wounding many persons. Many
similar events are reported from various
portions Of the city. 1t Is known that a
great many persons have been killed. but it
Is impossible to ascertain the exact number
owing to the prevalent excitement and the
desire on the part of the Armenians as we'll
as the Turkish authorities to keep the
identity of the killed and wounded secret.
The Armenian patriarch has excommuni-
Gated all Armenians concerned in this lat
est uprising.
The French charge d'affairs has installed
guard of sailors from the French guard
ship La Fleche at the French embassy as
a measure of precaution. The French gov
ernment will Immediately dispatch a Sec
ond gunboat TO Constantinope. The off,
cials of the Ottoman Bank say that none of
the staff was injured during the rioting
here yesterday. and that the bank was not
robbed.

to run a tobacco warehouse than in
anything else in the State except in the
saw mill business or trying to establish
a daily newspaper. The reason of it
is that success in the management of
warehouse requires SO many kinds
of ability, such tact, vim, knowledge
Of men and things, push, confidence
and all round business ability that
it is Only one man in a decade who
possesses the necessary requirements.
The necessary ingredients for maxi
ing a successful tobacco warehouse
man are pretty much like VIII Carrie

which ever may be the bent Of his
mind.
1T is just a few months more than
twenty-three years ago that Mr.. David
Y. Cooper, a native of Granville county,
moved to Henderson (then in Gram
vile county, and established himself
in the warehouse business. Since that
time he has been actively identified
with the tobacco business in every ca

and fitted up in modern style, every
thing being planned with a view to
comfort and convenience and adapta-
bility to the purpose for which it is
designed. A portion of it is two stories
high above the basement, handsome
in architectural design and of excel
lent workmanship. The sales-room is
a splendid one in every respect. The
sky-lights are numerous and so ar
ranged as to show tobacco to best adj
vantage, while the floor is pronounced
by competent judges to be the finest
Of its kind in the South.
As a warehouseman without gu-
perior, a wise and judicious business
man, Mr.. Cooper has won most en-
viable reputation and has future
full Of brilliant promise before him.
He is one of the most capable men in
the business as his success goes to
prove His old patrons stick to him
and new ones are constantly added to
the list--and "still they come" Friends
and opponents in business alike render
generous tribute TO his sterling in
tegrity and business ability, and there
is perhaps no man in the country
whose acquaintance with every branch
of the trade and the leading men in
it is more familiar than his.
Mr.. Cooper is proud Of his business,
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-04-05

OF his business is the success of the far
mer, and his big business shows that
the farmers realize that he works for
their interests as well as for his own.
We have said that Mr. Cooper's exc
cutive ability is shown largely in his
knowledge of men, and in the wisdom
he displays in selecting his assistants.
In recent issue of the Gold Leaf, Mr..
Thad II. Manning, whose acquaintance
with them makes him the best judge
Of citizens of Henderson, writes as fol-
lows of the clerical force of Cooper's
warehouse:
The entire force is capable and eff
ficient; the men individually are pop
ular and each one has the confidence of
the public in the fullest degree. They
are peculiarly qualified for their re-
spective duties. In fact, no business
house or concern has a more faithful,
polite and genial set of representatives
than Cooper's, There is a mutual re-
spect and confidence and cooperation
between them that makes the house a
tower of strength.

market that draws tobacco from more
than dozen counties.
The picture Of the Cooper Warehouse
herewith presented shows mammoth

ment of a great business, for Mr..
Cooper did not begin with silver
spoon in his mouth or with so large an
establishment as now bears his name.
His frst warehouse was small and of
wood, and the present mammoth ware
house was not erected until the growth
of the business called for more room.

of the largest and most successful
farmers in the State. He is natural
born farmer. EIe loves to ride the team
a-field, to smell the fresh earth in the
early days of spring, to see the plow-
man as he "homeward plods his weary
way" to watch the early planting, to
look for the early and the latter rain,
to look after the plants as they grow
under the hot sun. TO see the maturing
of the leaves, to superintend the cur

low as they are placed on the ware
house floor for sale. He knows every
thing about tobacco from the seed
to the consumption. And herein lies
the secret of his wonderful success.
Whatever interests or concerns the
farmer, interests and concerns Mr..
Cooper, for he is not only a farmer
himself, having been raised on farm,
but he knows all about the perplexities
that come to the farmers as class,
and in Vance county and part of Gran
Vile, all that affect the individual
farmers. He loves to see the farmers
succeed, and is never happier than
when they realize high prices for their
