TWO GOOD nEETINGS.
Republican Enthusiasm Boils Over at
Garden City and Mapleton.

A Mckinley sound money meeting
was held at Garden City last Saturday
night. All of the seats were taken,
and some of the people present had to
stand up. Thos. Hughes led off in
speech making, and W. e. Young and
w. n. Plymat followed. The money
question was the main topic consider
ed, and several Populists present fired
questions into the speakers, but were
answered so completely that they
were eventually silenced. The Nc
KinleY Sound Money club is booming,
and large gain will be shown in Gar
den City when the votes are counted.
The meeting at Mapleton Saturday
night was also well attended, nearly
every seat being occupied. w. A.
Funk gave good talk on the money
question, and meeting will be held
this week to organize a Mckinley
sound money club. Many names
were put down Saturday night, and a
flourishing club will be organized.

ORGANIZED A BANK.
A State Bank to be Opened at rlaple-
ton Oct. Ist.

The subscribers to stock in the new
state bank at MapletOn held meet
ing Saturday night and perfected an
organization. Justice Daniel Buck,
the only Mankato stakeholder, was
present and was elected president,
but declined the honor, as his official
duties in St. Paul will prevent his at
tending the meetings of the directors.
John r. Norton was elected presi-
dent, T. B. Taylor vice president, and
Sewell Whitney cashier.
A board of directors was elected,
consisting of Daniel Buck; J. r, Nor
ton, Lucas Troendle, T. B. Taylor, @.
H. Dietz, Jas. McBroom and S. a.
Whitney.
The capital stock of the new bank
was placed at $4,000, to be increased
to $4,000 in a few months. The
stockholders represent 100000 of cap
ital, and nearly all reside at Maple
ton or close by. The new bank build
ing will be leased, with it's fine vault,
time locked safe, ETC., and the bank
will open for business Oct. 1st.
The men backing the institution
are all well to do and reliable citizens,
and as Mapleton is the center of a
rich territory there is no question Of
the success of the enterprise.

WHY NOT JOIN FORCES?


To the Editor: The true silver
element of this State should
not divide itself. Cyrus Wat
son. the Democratic candidate for
Governor, and w. A. Guthrie, the Pop
ulist candidate for Governor, are advo-
eating free silver, and of course each
candidate will have large following
and ieopardize the chances for free
silver Governor. We have Governor
to elect and also United States Sena-
tor. and now would it not be the part
of wisdom for these two leaders to
agree so as to make it possible to elect
d silver Governor, and a silver United
States Senator. Watson and Guthrie
are the chosen leaders of their respect
i've parties. What think the candi-
dates? What think the Executive COM
mittees? What think the people who
favor silver? Cy. Watson for Governor,
supported by Guthrie and the Populist
silver party, and w. A. Guthrie for
United States Senator, supported by
Watson and the silver Democrats, or
vice versa, would solve the problem
and show the wisdom and patriotism
of the silver parties of North Carolina
The people would elect this ticket if
the leaders would agree, andNorth Car
DINA would no longer be a doubtful
State. 4 would like to hear from the
people who have the good of the silver
cause at heart.

ANOTHER BLACK CRIME.
Attempted Rape on Four Year Ola
Girl in Durham.

GT1rI IN 1(uI
Durham has another shocking CRIME
To blacken the pages of her history III
ANYTHING, it is more hideous than any
that has been committed here ln many
years.
Junius Brockwell a white man just
past his twenty-frst birthday, mace an
attempt to commit rape, the most uas-
tardly deed known to man, upon
white child about four years old, last
NIGHT about o'clock, so the mother OF
the girl and the child herself says.
The deed was attempted in Smoky
Hollow. The child upon whom the
attempt was made is Bonnie Lynn
Davenport, daughter of Georgia Daven-
port. a common prostitute.
The Brockwell man was in the room
with the child and the mother was IN
another room. She said the first she
knew of the deed was when her chlld
began to call her. She went into inc
room and Broclxwen ran out the door.
The child then told her mother all that
had occurred.
The mother ran after HIM, and n. M.
Marshall. a special officer of the court,
which is now i'm session. who was down
there summoning witnesses, ran after
him also. He was soon caught, and
Officer Marshall brought him up the
street.
4 warrant was served on him and he
was locked up.
The woman said to a reporter last
night that Brockwen had offered her
81 if she would keep her mouth shut
about the matter.
DR., Manning went down there q
short while afterwards and examined
the child. He said there was no sign of
violence, but that the attempt was UNI
dou.btedly made.
While the mother of The child is of
the lowest character known, neverthe-
less if the crime charged was really
attempted, the perpetrator should be
made to suffer severely.
Jesse Cole, a brother-in-law of Brock
well and brother of William Cole,
who was killed by Reuben Barbee, was
with Brocl1well, and drew knife on.

NO PLACE TO GO.
GrOsvenOr Says Gold Men VIII
BE Forced to support Mckinley.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Daily
News Washington special says :
Grosvenor and other close friends of
Mckinley have given a strong in.
timation in the last few days that
the St. Louis platform will be a
compromise on the money question.
General Grosvenor believes that un-
less some concession is made to the
silver sentiment the Democrats may
endanger McKinley's election.
When somebody suggested to the
statistician of the Mckinley boom
that a straddling platform would
ALLEVIATE gold men, he naively re-
marked: "They will have no place
to go The Democrats will NOM
mate a l6 to | candidate and Nc
Kinley will come nearer represent
ing bimetallism than any other
nominee in the field. General
Grosvenor makes no concealment
among his friends of his belief that
the st. Louis convention should not
declare for the gold standard.

Ex-Governor John p. St. John is
too broad minded man to longer re-
main tied to one idea organization
like the Prohibition party, hence he
has seized the first plausible excuse
to leave it. The formation of a
new party by himself and his fol-
lowers will probably end in their
uniting with some one of the exist
ing political organizations wherein
there is at least a chance of their
work being effective. The time has
arrived when such friends of silver
as St. John is should be thinking of
getting together instead OF forming
new parties. There are enough be.
levers in the white metal in the
United states to control the action
OF both the leading parties il they
will but unite in one or the other or
even in both. With but two mar
ties in the country and a silver ma
.ority in each the people would be
safe and need not worry greatly
over the result of the election.
Other differences could be settled
later. -Topeka State Journal.
