Panic In n Theatre.

ABERDEEN, Sept. 30.-During the
progress of the performance in the
Peoples Palace theatre this evening,
fire broke out and the audience were
thrown into a panic and made a rush
for the exits. A number of those
present were seriously burned and
many others were crushed in the wild
endeavors of the crowd to reach the
street. 1t is stated that at least 40 per-
sons were injured, while number of
others, who are known to have been
in the theatre when the fire started,
are reported to be missing. Aberdeen,
Oct. 1.-Up to this time three bodies
have been found in the ruins of the
theatre and fears are entertained that
the search will reveal more.

Governor Northen's first business
was with Mr.. Fitzgerald at IndianIapo'

to cover about 5000 acres OF Georgia
land. Governor Northern is to select
the land and Mr.. Fitzgerald will people
it. The fruit farms are to consist OF
forty acre tracts, and all the conditions
necessary 10 successful fruit growing
will be provided. The Governor
wishes TO interest number of repre-
sentative Gcorgians in the enterprise.
This is regarded as the most promising
undertaking these gentlemen have yet
set on foot. The recent exposition at
fitzgerald has attracted wide attention
and this State is very popular out
West. Governor Northern said that
every man who heard linn say word
about Georgia Immediately said he
wanted to come here. 4 great many
spoke of the exposition, and the farm
ers are coming here as soon ss they
can sell out. When he was being
converted by a free silver enthusiast

BRYAN'S VOTElN 1892.
A Canard That,"Should be Repudiated by
Descent and Honorable Men,"

There is one little canard in circula-
ton which, as we see the matter.
should be repudiated by decent and
honorable men, no matter whether
they be Republicans or Democrats or
Populists, and that is the story that IN
1892 Mr.. Bryan bolted the Democratic
party and cast his vote for the Popu-
list nominee for the presidency. This
story is havinga wide and somewhat
hysterical circulation. His opponents
are not satisfied with insisting that
BRYAN is a reckless and windy infant,
firebrand, an agitator, an apostle of
class-prejudice and hatred, menance
to our national peace and safety. 1t
does not suffice them to declare that
he is en- ignorant and unprincipled
mountebank and a fool whose words
betray him. They must get out this
foolish story about his having voted
for Weaver in 1892 instead of stand
ing by his party and voting for Cleve-
land.
Now, everybody understands by
this time that, whilst The Post is the
organ of neither party to the pending
contest, but takes its opinions and
frames its utterances according to its
own judgement and conscience, we do
not approve or advocate the policies
REPRESENTED by Mr.. Bryan. If we
have failed to make that fact clear it is
through no lack of effort on our part,
and we shall concern ourselves no
further in the premises. But we do
stand for fair play, for an Intelligent
and honest statement of the issues be-
fore the country, and for the exposure
and denunciation of falsehood, stu
pidity and malice. Wedo not believe
that the triumph of the gold standard
cause needs these vicious and abhor-
rent aids. We should deplore vic.
tory achieved by such malignant
agencies. If Mr.. Bryan cannot be de-
feated without the help of scandal,
Misrepresentation and false witness
we should prefer to see him win.
When the American people reach a
point at which their political destinies
can be manipulated by a lie there is
no further degradation possible to
them.
We do not know whether Mr.. Bry-
an voted for Weaver or Cleveland In
1892. What we do know is that the
Democrats of Nebraska were urged
by the Democratic National Commit
tee-made up of Mr.. Ceveland's party
friends and prompted by Mr.. Whit
ney-to vote for Weaver and to ig-
more the Democratic ticket altogeth-
er. In Nebraska, as in several other
States in the Northwest, the Demo
Gratis had no hope of carrying the day.
They were in a hopeless minority, and
their one alternative was to combine
with the Populists and take the State
from Harrison by electing the Weav-
er men. There was no secret about it
at the time. The manoeuvre was a
matter of common knowledge and of
universal discussion. If Bryan did
vote for Weaver, then, he did ojn
obedience to the earnest request of his
party's leaders, at the instance of Mr..
Cleveland's campaign managers, and
in the discharge of his duty as loyal
Democrat. 1t is impossible to make a
point against him on that score. 1t is
discreditable 10 those engaged in the
enterprise to try 10 make one. Wash,

The Governor gave a picturesque
description of the street debates which
constitute an interesting feature of the
Western campaign. "The discus
sions are continuous and uninterrupt-
ed" said he with smile. They
know no Sundays and night is robbed
of sleep. Two neighbors will meet on
the street and begin to talk about gold
and silver. They get animated and
talk louder. One or two others come
up. People see disputants shaking
their fingers or their fists at each other
and come to see what's the matter.
Pretty soon the group grows to 100
and keeps growing till it blocks the
street. In hundreds of places the po'
lice forbade these discussions because
they obstructed thoroughfares, but
they were called partisans and the re-
striction was taken off. saw crowd
