DEMOCRATS HEACQUAaTERs.
Ii IS Believed Thss Trey Will Be / oCa
ted in Washington.

Washington. july 29.-The location
of the National Democratic headquar
tiers will be 3ecpl,d in a few days.
Senator Jones chairman of the com
mittee is expected here tomorrow or
Friday. There is a strong disposition
at present to locate the headquarters
here and unless Senator Jones' trip to
the West has changed his ideas on the
subject it seems reasonably certain
that Washington will be selected.
Although the location of headquar-
ters at Washington would be an en-
tirely new departure there are many
reasons, with the conditions which
hedge about the campaign, which
point to this city as the most available
from which to conduct the coming
campaign. Comparatively little aid is
expected from New York or Chicago.
Besides the committee of the silver
party has already selected Washington
as headquarters and all the indications
are that the Populist committee with
Senator Butler at its head will also
locate here. If the Democratic head
quarters were l-cated in this city the
three committees could, to a certain
extent, work in conjunction for the
uulOI Oh LlIt SlINEI lOIttS anu l31C iIidSS-
ing Of their strength. Such fusion of
electoral tickets as may be necessary
to accomplish this result could also
be more easily directed if the several
committees were working side by side.
But more important than all is the
fact that Senator German, whose long
experience as a campaign manager
would make his services almost inyal-
liable to the new committee, has a
greed to give Senator Jones the bene
fit of his counsel and advice. He does
not, however, it is understood, desire
any official connection with the com
mittee, but if the headquarters are
located here he will be constantly in
close touch with the work as it pro-
crosses.
Some of the local Democratic leaders
here have secured an option on the
old Wormly Hotel in this city as
place for the headquarters in case
Washington is selected. 1t is expected
that Senator Jones will announce the
members of thSHxecutive committee
soon after his arrival

THE yICE-PREsIDENTIAL MIDDLE

TO the Editor:-''Will you kindly
give me light on the following?
To suppose a case, If North Carolina
should in the coming election distrib-
ute her vote something after this way
who would get her electoral vote?
Mckinley and Hobart .......... 10000
BRYAN and Sewall ..............5 10000
BRYAN and Watson ............2O 10000
This question is agitating good
many minds and while good many be
1ieve that the endorsement of Bryan
bv the Populists would help him, does
not the fact Of two tickets with his
name impair his chances?
A reply viii greatly oblige, yours
truly, JNO. K. WHEELER.
Tt there should be three electoral
tickets in North Carolina, Mckinley
and Hobart would get the electoral
vote of the State if the vote should
be cast in the proportion named by
Mr. Wheeler. Tt is not to be supposed,
the election of Mr.. Bryan and the free
coinage of silver could be induced
to play into Mark Hanna's hands by
advocating the plan which he would
select if he had the direction of the
Mckinley campaign. The nomina-
ton of Mr. Watson by the Populists
complexities the situation, but the peo-
pie are so determined to defeat Nc
Kinley that they viii find a way to do
it. Writing upon this line, eX-United
States Senator Patrick Walsh, gives
this editorial suggestion in his paper,
the Augusta Chronicle:
"But whatever the differences
may be between Democrats and
Populists over this matter of the
Vice-President, all are agreed that
it is of the utmost Importance that
the friends of silver should present
a solid front against the forces of
gold, and allow no divisions 10
come between them and success.
In the event there should be no
change in the status of the party
nominations, and the two tickets
should remain in the field as at
present, it is evident that some
agreement should be reached be-
tween the two parties by which
AN equitable division of the cleo
tors shall be arrived at. 1T would
be folly to have two sets of cleo
tors and have all the Populists
voting for Bryan and Watson cleo
tors. and the Democrats voting for
BRYAN and Sewall electors. The
effect of this would be to divide
up the forces of silver and insure
Republican victory. Tt is evident.
therefore. that some agreement
must be reached between the Dem
ocratic and Popfilist parties by
which only one set of electors will
be voted for. Either there must
he a division of the electors be-
tween the two parties, in proper
ton to their strength in each
State as shown by the last cleo
ton. or else both Democrats and
Popuifsts must vote for Democrat
ic electors with the understand
ing that their electoral vote shall
he divided between Sewall and
Watson in proportion to the
strength Of the party vote in this
election"

The Baltimore American, Republi-
can organ asks where the supporters
of Bryan are going to get the money
and the organization to run their cam
paign ?" This is the gold idea of a cam
paign-"money and organization" The
Democrats do not expect to have mon
ey to run the campaign. They have
deliberately taken position that will
deny them the contribution of any
income tax-dodger, tariff-baron, gold
Spectator or bond-grabber. AS these
are the men who buy elections, their
contributions will go to the Mckinley
fund. It is a contest of fair chance
for all the people VS.. monopolizing spe-
cial privileges for the few.

her quick fire guns on the flagship for
some time. The shots rained around Ad-

rails coming tower was riddled ID a
sailor was wounded. There is much
mystery as to how the mistake occurred,
as it is thought impossible the gunners

Washington August 19.-Acting Secre.
tary Curtis to-day received telegram

stating that arrangements had been made
there to import $2,0O0,0 900 in gold coin
from Europe. While foreign exchange is
slightly above TIE usual importing point,
1T is said that should it continue to de-
cline during the next few days as rapidly
as during the last week, gold importa-
tions from Europe would yield good
profit. The officials are hopeful that the
tide has turned and that from now on the
reserve will be rapidly increased. The
Treasury to-day lost $153, 900 in gold coin
and S13, 600 in bars, which leaves the true
amount of the reserve $104, 361 ,051.

NOTES.
EThe Roanoke baseball club disbanded
last night. Interest seemed to have died
out in the city. After publishing in both
of the daily papers n call for meeting of
the stockholders yesterday morning and
all others interested in base ball, there
was no one present at the meeting yester-
day morning except the board of direc-
tors. This was satisfactory evidence to
the board that there was no baseball en-
thusiasm left in Roanoke and as they
were already in debt and unable to pay it
they did not feel justified in going further
with the enterprise.
A small number had given considerable
money, time and attention for the pur-
pose of having the pastime in Roanoke
but they did not feel able to give more
The feature that the board of directors
regrets more than all other considerations
is that they were unable to pay all of the
last two weeks salaries to the PLAYERS
and hence they will have to leave Roam
oke without receiving full compensation
for their services for the last two weeks
This fact the board of directors regretted
exceedingly, but they had already put up
so much money to keep it running they
feel unable to put up enough to pay off
all the players and could only raise a por-
ton of the amount due them. Since the
team returned home the receipts have
been insufficient to pay the guarantees.
Doubtless Roanoke has seen her last
game of professional ball
Pop Tate has been appointed umpire
and will go to Lynchburg to-day.
