THE HAY RIDE.

been introduced with as much
success and enthusiasm as the
Hay Ride, no doubt a good deal
of this popularity is due to the
novelty of it. Aside of this the
Hay ride is a rustic sport that
carries with it all the free for all
amusement Of outdoor exercise.
1t must be great relief for young
people on these sultry and oppres-
sive summer days, to be out after
the sun has set, to enjoy whatever
breeze the night brings. Then
the anticipation of so much fun
is before them, just think of fra
grant cushion of new mown hay
with large Paulin spread on it,
a strong pair of mules hitched on
to the wagon, the ringing of
the trace chains and the singing
carried on by dozen couples of
happy hearts as they drive gsyly
through the town to the dancing
grounds. The originator of Hay
parties had an eye to business
when he thought of spreading a
tarpauline on the grass to dance
upon. No platform or waxed floor
can equal it. With the green
grass for cushion it possesses a
certain elasticity that reminds one
of a Brussels Carpet.
1t was just such a party that
left the town at 8 o'clock last
Tuesday evening for Langue de
Terre, two miles from st. Martin
vile on Mr.. A. Lsbbe's plantation.
The ladies were Mrs. Arthur Woo
rhies, Mrs. Leopold Simon, Mrs.

If the cart that carried the par

can resist the great strain caused
by such a load there is something

Great Police Had to Force
Entrance For Bryan.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 12.-William
j. Bryan came from ST. Paul to her sis
ter this afternoon, and Minneapolis re-
ceived him with enthusiasm. He spoke
to four big meetings tonight in these
places: Exposition Hall, Bridge
Square, on the banks of the Mississippi
river, just outside the hall: Lyceum
Theatre, an audience of women, and
Yale place, a public square in the city.
Mr.. Bryan rested in st. Paul all
morning. He stayed in his rooms
at the hotel until after luncheon, when
he held an informal reception in the
parlors. With Mrs. Bryan by his side,
the candidate stood in the doorway
and smiled at the greetings of the hun
dreds of persons who filed past during
the course of an hour. Mr.. Bryan hay-
ing expressed a preference to make the
journey between the twin cities by
trolley, special car, elaborately dec
grated, was engaged. Arriving here
a second reception was held in the West
Hotel, and then Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
were driven to the home of State Sena-
tor B. Howard, where they took dim
ner. During their absence the veterans
of the Bryan Club of Minneapolis, 200
graybeard warriors, marched TO the
hotel and formed a circle in the spa
cious lobby. When he came back they
gave him a royal reception, and escort
ed him TO the Exposition Hall. No such
crowd has been packed within the walls
of that building since the day when
the Republican convention nominated
Benjamin Harrison for President in
1892. 1t has seating capacity of $1,000.
and there was a standing army of
many more lined around the walls and
choking the aisles. Outside the hall,
the crowd was SO great that the SER
vices of a squad of policemen were
required to force an entrance for Mr..
Bryan when he arrived. The hall was
profusely decorated, and the demon
st1:ation was enthusiastic throughout.
Ex-Mayor Phillip Winston presided
over This, and after the demonstration
of welcome to the candidate had sub
sided, he introduced e.. C. Marchard,
who, on behalf of "a large part of the
laboring class of Minneapolis" present
ed to Mr.. Bryan an inkstand made, so
the speaker said, of gold and silver at a
ratio of 10 to 1. This brought another
outburst of applause as Mr.. Bryan step
ped ito the front of the stage to begin
his speech. When the nights speech
making was ended, Mr.. Bryan and his
party retired to his private car, prefer
ring to spend the night there rather
than be disturbed early in the morn
ing, by their departure for Duluth at
an early hour.

Proposition From the Democra-

MANLY URGED FROM ALL SIDES

rentance of Propositon.
ceptance of Proposition.

The Democratic Central Executive
committee held meeting last night at
Democratic headquarters, and had n
long conference upon the political situ-
alton.
In view of the danger of sending
several gold men to Congress from
this State, and the solidity of the
negro vote augmented by large inn
portation by the free use of money,
the committee decided to make an offer
of fusion on the State and Congress
sional tickets with the Populist party.
Chairman Manly was authorized to
address a communication to Chairman
Aver and request an immediate con-
sideration of the proposition by his
committee, as the time for printing and
distributing tickets is now very short.
During the past few days many
letters have come in from prominent
Democrats and Populists in all sec
tions of the State urging joint action
between all advocates of free coinage.
so that the cause of the white metal
shall be triumphant ON election day.
There has been a widespread desire
expressed also for such joint action as
would make it certain that the State
should be saved from Russellism and it's
attendant evils. AS the matter now
stands, the race is in doubt. The
Democrats have reason to hope and
believe that Mr.. Watson will win, but
they know that recent negro colonial
tion endangers the prospect of success
with two silver candidates in the
field. There is not patriotic man in
the State-no matter whether he
for gold, silver or eopper-who does
not shudder at the mere thought of
having a Governor so vicious and
malignant and vindictive as Daniel L..
Russell. In order to make certain
of his defeat the Democratic State
Central committee last night formu-
lated a proposition to the Populists
looking to fusion upon the State
ticket, as well as the Congressional
ticket, to supplement the electoral
fusion already agreed upon.
If it is accepted, the menace of Rus
sellism passes away, and the whole
State will breathe freer; and the silver
advocates in all sections of the United
States will rejoice to hear that the
silver forces in North Carolina will
send a solid silver delegation to the
House of Representatives and a free
silver Senator to uphold the hands
of President William j. Bryan.

Travels in Style When he Goes on Re

The following card, written by Mr.W.
L. Arendell, leading citizen of Carter
ct county, bearing date of Oct. 6. APP
pears in the Beaufort Herald this
week:
ION Sabbath morning left my home
for Sunday School and standing in
front of the city station was an engine
fired up with first class ear attached.
The conductor told me on inquiry that
the train was to take up Railroad Com
missioner S. Otho Wilson, who, 1 un-
derstand, had been over to Beaufort to
effect a fusion between the Populists
and Republicans. What | want to
know, Mr.. Editor, is by what authority
the Railroad Commission of North Car
olina uses our State roads for political
purposes and also violates the laws of
God and of the State"
Railroad commissioners, like other
people, are expected by the railroads
to pay for any service they may get.
Special trains are not at their disposal
except when they are paid for, on
State roads or any other roads. 1t
would therefore be interesting to know
who is paying for the special trains in
which the Statesman from Rhamkatte
rides when he goes off on trips as a
Republican emissary. Can it be that
Hanna is paying the freight?

THE JERSEY COAST SWEPT.
A rs MILES AN HOUR HURRICANE
PLAYED HAVOC TO PROPERTY
Loss Goes to Hundreds of Thousands of
DoIlars--Forewarning Saved Ship
ping--Worst at Coney Island.

New York, Oct. IA veritable hur-
ricane swept over this section of the
country yesterday. To-day the wind
blew with terrific force, reaching sew
enty-fve miles an hour last night. The
tides rose to height many feet greater
than has been seen for years, and the
waves all along the Atlantic coast
swept in with force that carried ev-
erything before them, and did damage
to the amount of many hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Sandy Hook and
points along the Jersey coast, felt the
storm most of all, butt Coney Island
experienced, so far as has yet been
learned, the most direful results. The
beaches We're swept clean, payillions
were overturned and carried seaward,
bathing houses and board walks, every
thing not far inland on the famous is
land was torn up and piled high be-
yond the coast line or was carried out
to sea. At Brighton Beach the stone
walks in front of the big hotel were
under water, and towards the end of
this afternoon, the famous Seidl con-
cert hall was inundated and partly car
ried away. The well-kept lawns in
front of the Oriental Hotel and Manhat-
tan Beach were laid waste and the low
Ell portions of the hotels flooded. In
Vulnerable small buildings were picked
up bodily and carried away by wind or
waves.
At Far RoclSaway, the fury of the
gale was indescribable. Those houses
which were built on piles in sand were
washed away, and those higher up,
which for years have been out of reach
OF the highest tides, were to-day flood
ed.
Along the Jersey coast the most of
the damage done was to piers and to
breakwaters. Preparations had been
made, as forewarnings of the storm
had been given some days before. AS
yet very little damage to shipping has
been reported, for, on account of warm
ings, many craft delayed sailing and
others that had cleared returned for
safe anchorage.

BUTLER GOES TO CHICAGO.
Trying to Fix up Some Kind of Sooth-
ing Syrup for squalling Tommy.

Washington, Oct. 12--Senator But
Ter, chairman of the PopuIist Sena-
torial committee, left for Chicago to-
day to attend the conference of the
Populist committee tomorrow. This
meeting is expected to be an impor-
tant one. 1t probably will deal with
the question of fusion between Demo-
Gratis and Populists on the electoral
ticket. There has been some criticism
in the matter of fusion, especially in
the States of Colorado and Kansas, and
in these States Mr.. Watson receives no
recognition. There may be an effort
to secure change n these so as to give
Watson representation. 1t is proba bic
that Mr.. Butler will make full ex-
planation of his course to the COM
mittee with the view to securing its
endorsement, and that an effort will
be made to have the committee agree
upon am address to the country. 1t is
believed here that Mr.. Watson's let
ter in regard to the Vice-Presidential
nomination will not be made public
until after the result of the confer
ence is known.

WHERE is A VOTERS RESIDENCE?
Chairmen Manly and Holton Agree on
Construction of the Law.

Chairmen Manly and Holton Agree on
Construction of the Law.
Chairman Holton, of the Republi-
can State committee, wrote to his attor-
ney, Maj. Jno. w. Graham, of Hillsboro,
sometime ago, asking his construction
of the election law in regard to a vot-
er's residence--'WheT'e a man shall vote
il his wife lives in one precinct and
he in another. He received a reply yes
terday giving Maj Graham's views at
length. The opinion says that the dom
icil of the husband draws to it, in law,
the domicil of the wife. A mans wife
is supposed to reside with him, whether
she does so in fact or not. Residence,
as used in defining political rights,
is synonymous with domicil, denoting
a permanent, as distinguished from a
temporary dwelling place. Major Gra-
ham says further that the part of the
law that heretofore required the hus-
band to vote where his family resided,
and young man where he slept, has
been repealed, the sole question being
where his actual and bona fide resi-
dence is, mere temporary residence not
giving him the right to vote.
Chairman Manly was interviewed,
and said that he thought Major Gra-
hams opinion was correct. He said he
had sent out letters some time ago
giving the same construction of the
law.

Judge Clement Strikes 'SNational Dom

Court of Kings county to-day, Judge
Clement decided in favor of the
Democratic county committees pro-
test against the use upon the official
ballot of the designation National
Democrat by the gold standard Demo-

In his opinion Judge Clement says
that 'sthe political party name of the

TALLY the same as the name Democra-

of the use thereof by the political
party known as the regular Democratic

The matter will at once be taken be-
fore the Appellate division for further
argument. AT the Board of Elections
several days ago, the commissioners
refused to put the names of the Shep-
ard party nominees ON the ballots un-
der the head of the National Democra-

piled for to compel the commissioner to
do so.

WATSON STILL CONFINED.
HAD INTENDED TO SMASH COL

6ut Committeeman Reed May Meet

and Arrange Matters.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct IA special to
the journal from Thomson, saws.
Hon. Ihos. r. Watson is still confined
10 his room, acting under the advice
of his physician, DIR. E. S. Harrison.
DIR. Harrison informed the Journal
correspondent this morning that while
Mr.. Watson was improving, his throat
was still one complete mass of sores.
and under no circumstances could he
speak in less than ten or twelve days,
ana that 1T was very doubtful if he
couId take the stump during the pres
ent campaign. Infirmation received
from prominent Populists in close
touch with hing developes that Mr..
Watson intended to make a complete
tour of Kansas and Colorado, with the
intention of smashing the present fu-
sion arrangements in those States.
1t developes that National Commit
teeman Reed last week informed Sena-
tor Butler by wire that unless division
as Mr.. Watson desired was made. there
would be trouble in those two States,
Senator Butler replied that he was
poWerless to do anything, but that the
National committee would meet in
Chicago some time in the near future,
and ask MIR. Watson to meet them
there. 1t was finally determined that
Mr. Reed should meet the committee in
Chicago and would represent Mr.. Wat
son.
The Journal correspondent has re-
ceived reliable information that if fu-
sion could be arranged for an electoral
ticket IN Kansas and Colorado, Mr..
Watson would then bow to the ruling
of the National committee in other
matters and enter actively into the
campaign in the doubtful States. The
condition of Mr.. Watson's throat, how
ever, makes it doubtful whether he
will be able to make any more speeches.
