RUN ON THE SUB TREASURY.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-There was run on
the sub-Treasury in this city for gold.
When the announcement of the San
Francisco run was made public and ST.
100000 in gold received from the mint
last week, the local sub-Treasury noticed
an increase in the number of persons who
wanted to exchange bills for gold. To-day
the rush began at he opening Of the doors.
An unbroken line passed in and out of
the narrow corridor in front Of the money
changers window all day. Two-thirds
of those asking for gold handed in green
backs and National bank notes "Only
Treasury notes of 1890 issue and gold
certificates accepted" said Mr.. Shannah,
the teller.
The Office was kept open half an hour
after the usual time to clean up the line
Of people in waiting. The total output
of gold for the day was $50, 000-three
times as much as that of Saturday.
About twice that amount was asked for,

WHY BRYAN WILL WIN.

(1) The desperate effort being made to
carry several Southern States; and 81
the pipes laid to tamper with the electoral
college in some States after election,
shows the despair of Mark Hanna's party.
Nothing like this has been heard of since
1876 and even then they did not lay theft
pipes for tampering with the electoral col.
lcge until after the election.
The betting on the election alarms only
superficial observers. 1t is the despera
ton Of men who fear. the income tax
that makes them use this method of CAM
paigning, and the gamblers on Wall
street and elsewhere are too far from
the hearts of the people to learn their
secrets. They would bet $4,000 on North
Carolina, if they thought they would
brighten a thousand "weak-knees."
The New York monopoly papers de-
ceive some of the betters by distorting
the news.
''They are so ignorant" says Senator
1iIlman, speaking of the New York pa
pers, because they know so many things
that are not true" Who will be deceived
by them, except a man whose heart beats
for Mckinley?

LATEST CRY OF STOP THIEF

A story became current Sunday in Re
publican circles that ballot boxes
with secret springs, warranted to elect
any man by any number of votes, had
been brought into the State from Balti-
more. Almost simultaneous with this
report came the renewed confidence
among Republicans that Mckinley would
carry North Carolina, and many offers
to place large sums of money on McKin-
ley carrying the State were made by
prominent Republicans just before the
discovery of the secret ballot boxes. Was
there any connection between the two?
On Sunday, in last effort to make
public sentiment for a disgraced cause,
the Republicans issued and sent out
thirty thousand circulars claiming that
the wicked Democrats had imported
these boxes for the purpose Of stealing
the election. The purpose of these circu-
lars was to raise the cry of ''stop thief"
in the hope that the people would lose
sight of the infamous practices to which
the Republicans are resorting to carry
this election.
People of North Carolina-honest vot-
ers of this good old State, what does this
mean? 1t is we'll known that the entire
machinery in every county in this State
is in the hands Of the Republican party.
Two Of the officers are Republicans APP
pointed by Chairman Holton, and in al
most every county two Of them are either
Republicans or machine Populists," ap
pointed by Chairman Aver to act with
the Republicans in electing him State
Auditor. In the towns like Fayetteville,
Newbern, and others, the men appointed
by the Populist chairman are notorious
negro Republican ''heelers," whose only
idea of public duty is to register every
negro convict and 16-year old boy who
can be induced to register. In many in
stances they refuse to even hear evidence
tending to their ineligibility. SO it is
seen that the election machinery of the
State is in the hands of the Republican
party.
This is the truth. Every one knows
it. The refusal to hear Democratic chal-
lenges last Saturday proves it. Then
why these base ISLANDERS against the De-
mocracy? Have there been imported into
the State such contrivances for fraud ?
If discovery Of the fraud is made or
feared, is not the infamous circular but
reflection Of the old cry 'stop thief'' made
by those who are themselves the guilty
parties?

A FINAL FORECAST.

On the eve of the election we see no
reason to change the predictions we
have repeated several times during the
last three weeks. Bryan win carry the
Solid South, with 159 votes, and all the
States west of the Mississippi river, with
SO, Indiana with 10 and Michigan with
II, making a total of 271 electoral votes.
1t requires 224 to elect. If these pre-
dictions are fulfilled, Mr.. Bryan will have
a majority Of AZ. In addition to these
271, the chances are more than even that
Bryan will carry Illinois with "A votes
This would give Bryan 295 votes. 1t is
by no means certain that he viii not
carry Ohio and Wisconsin, and there is
hope of New Jersey and New York.
OF course in the States we have claimed
for Bryan there are some which are
claimed for Mckinley. The Solid South,
without Delaware, and all the States
west of the Mississippi river, without
Iowa, would elect Mr.. Bryan. Then there
are the States of Indiana and Michigan,
both sure, with 20 votes to offset
any losses that might occur in either of
the State claimed in the South and West.
1t is generally conceded that of all the
State which the Republicans claim to be
doubtful, Indiana and Michigan are
reckoned by them as most probably Dem
ocratic, and unbiased parties put them
as safely in the Democratic column. In
a special from Chicago, in Mondays
Washington Post, Mr.. Bynum, manager
of the Hannacrats, virtually comedies
these two States to Bryan. We quote:
I'm speaking of the general political
outlook, Mr. Bynum said:
The States of Minnesota, Iowa,
Illinois and Kentucky will cast their
electoral vote for sound money. /
hope that Missouri will do the same,
and l feel confident that there is q
chance of saving Nebraska
Mr. Bynum's failure to include his
own State of Indiana and Michigan
in his list of sound money States was
Il matter of some comment among the
newspaper men,"
Mr.. Bynum didn't include them be-
cause he knows that they are certain to
go for Bryan.
1t is not believed that bribery and
coercion, the only agencies relied on to
secure McKinley's election, can succeed.
The people everywhere realize that this
is no ordinary election, but conflict to
the death between the money power
and other trusts on the one hand, and
the dawning of better day that will
give to all the people a fair chance, and
end the domination of moneyed interests.
The contest that will be fought to-day is
one of Manhood VS.. Money.
Manhood will win

THE SILK HATS DESERT; THE
OVER-ALLS STAND TRUE.

Summing up the boiling in this cam
paign, Mr.. Walter Wellman writes
to the Chicago Times Herald that those
Democrats who have bolted Bryan are
as rule lawyers, doctors, railroad Of
icers and business men whose interests
cause them to bolt, whereas the Republi-
cans who bolt Mckinley, to use his
words, "stand lower down in the social
scale"
There is much of truth in the state
ment that the Democratic boilers are
from the top, whereas the Republican
boilers are from the bottom. AS rule,
the stop" fellow has been enjoying some
special privilege which he thinks he will
lose if Bryan is elected His bolt is
widely advertised. AS a rule, the "bot-
tom" fellow wants nothing but a fair
chance, and is indignant because
the trusts will continue to con-
troll the government if McKin-
ley wins, and is for Bryan. His
bolt is not known outside Of his intimate
circle of friends. But because humble
and poor land getting poorer through Nc
Kinley and Cleveland laws) he is as
good citizen and as upright as the big
Democrat who has deserted his party
because it will not longer permit him
to enjoy special privileges.
"When Bryan loses one silk hat,
he gains six pair of oyer-alls" was the
reply to a purse-proud rich Democrat who
said he could not vote for Bryan made
by sensible mechanic. The
election returns to-day viii show that
the workingmen and farmers will vote
nearly solid against Mckinley and the
gold standard. The few silk hats that
desert to Bryan will be overcome at the
polls in the ratio Of 10 to /.

4 WORD TO GOLD DEMOCRATS"

The News and Observer has only one
word to say to any reader who has here
tofore been a Democrat who is thinking
of voting to-day for Palmer and Buck
ner.
Don't.
You win regret it all your life. They
are not bona fide candidates. They will
not carry a single township, city, or eoun-
ty in America. They are not running
honestly, but as decoys.
You say you want honest money!?
Do you not want "honest" men? What
can you think Of a candidate who has
been going all about the country seek
ing votes, and just on the eve Of the
election admits that he is a decoy can
didate? In a speech at Warrensburg,
Mo, last Friday, Gen. Palmer said:
81 promise you, my fellow Demo
Gratis, / will not consider it any very
great fault if you decide next Tues
day to cast your ballots for William
Mckinley, although you may if you
desire, vote for Palmer and Buck
ner."
We have no doubt that this utterance
will cost Gen. Palmer the respect Of all
his honest supporters, and cause every
one of them who has not really embraced
Republican principles, to get back in the
old ship and vote for Bryan.
What about those who talk of voting
for Mckinley straight?
We have nothing to say to them. They
are Republicans straight, and have al
ready virtually joined the party Of trusts,
monopolies, combines. force bills, and
robber tariffs. 1t is better for all con-
cerned that they should show their col
ors than to longer masquerade as Dem
ocrats.
We dispute no mans right to be
Republican if his stomach is strong
enough to stand the degradation it in
wolves in the South. But we do object
to their seeking to shelter their Republi-
canism under the garb Of Democracy.

BRUTAL DEFIANCE OF DE
CENCY.

1t is a sad, sickening story of brutal
defiance of decency as well as justice
that marked the proceeding Of the Flee
ton Boards in the State in reference to
challenges on Saturday. Some little
reference to the methods being resorted
to appeared in these columns Sunday
morning, and appears again to-day. To
print more would be merely to give a repe-
tition of the practises resorted to in order
to elect Russell Governor under the cleo
ton law which he drafted for tie nefari-
Gus purposes for which Ii is now being
used.
Read the story of the double voting by
one Chamberlain, a Pennsylvania Re
publican in West Raleigh, and the facts
contained in our Durham letter These
are but samples of what has been done
to defraud the honest voters and to in
augurate q reign of rascality in this good
State.
Let every man who loves his State re-
sent these and like practises by giving the
whole day to working to defeat these
enemies of good government!

A WORKINGMAN'S REASON FOR
VOTING FOR BRYAN.

The New York World offered a prize
Of SIS for the two best arguments in
favor of the two candidates for Presi-
dent Mrs. Julia Dent Grant won the
prize for the Mckinley argument, hav-
ing written: II say Mckinley should be
elected, to uphold National honor, and
for the general welfare of the country"
The other prize was won by working
man whose reasons appear elsewhere in
to-day's issue. 1t is an argument that
viii induce thousands of workingmen to
vote for Bryan. 1t is the most concise,
clear-cut, and forcible argument that has
been made for Bryan during the entire
campaign.

AN UNSIGNED CIRCULAR.

II 10 known that n false and SANDER
Gus circular was on Sunday placed IN
the mail at different places in the state
containing false and misleading state
ments concerning the attitude of Hon.
Cyrus B. Watson in regard to the sub
iect of local prohibition in the town OF
Winston where he lives. This circular
was addressed to every liquor dealer in
the State and appealing to them to vote
against our candidate. for Governor. The
circuIar was not signed by any one and
the authors and circulators have taken
every precaution to conceal their identity.
The circular is not signed because it is
false and no one of any character or
standing cared to be responsible for the
fragrant untruths and misrepresentation
it contains.
The secret authors of this infamous
circular withheld it from the mails until
the last daily paper before the day of
election had gone to press that no oppor-
tunity might be given to answer and dis
nroye the falsehoods with which they
seek to iniure Mr.. Watson. 1t is das-
tardly and contemplate assault in the
dark. and the manhood of the men to
whom it is addressed will so regard it,
and as such win resent it. Such misera-
BILE schemes as this always defeat them
selves.
Mr.. Watson has been before the peo-
pie since early in July until his unfor-
tunate illness compelled him to retire
from the active work of the campaign,
and has met and answered every charge
his adversaries have attempted to make
against him. He is an honest, frank
man and his life is an open book.
1t is impossible to believe that the Re
publican Executive committee have had
any hand in this mean business and it
is certain the chairman of that commit
tee. Mr. Holton, was not engaged in
such piece of business because he lives
in Winston and personally knows the
statements and inunendoes Of the anony-
nous document are untrue.
The fact that the authors Of this cir
cular have not signed it and have waited
until it was thought there would be no
opportunity before election to brand the
falsehoods it contains, is enough in itself
to condemn, it and we call attention to
it not because it is thought necessary to
deny its statements, flor the parties to
whom the circular is sent fully under
stand the facts in the case and will every
where repudiate and despise such I'M
manly and covert attacks but simply
to call attention to and expose the dis
creditable methods by which some of
the enemies of our candidate are seek
ing to accomplish his defeat. Indeed,
no sooner had the information of the
anonymous circular come to the knowl-
edge of Mr.. Frank O'Donnell, President,
and Mr.. S. r. Smith, Vice-President Of
the Liquor Dealers Association, than
they promptly telegraphed their repudia-
ton Of it all over the State.

be successful or not. One thing is certain,
and that is the Republicans are making

A Business Proposition.

David Brown brought suit
against IN. Millgrom in the Forty
fifth District court yesterday to
recover $500. Plaintiff alleges
that Millgrom agreed to pay him
$500 IL he would find man with
whom defendant could form a
partnership. Brown says he found
such a man, but that Millgrom
wanted him for the purpose Of
fraudulently getting his assistance
in disposing OF his stock in trade,
worth $4,000, in way to be out
reach of the creditors. The petit
tion says that the proposed part
ner refused the offer, but that
Millgrom has thus far failed to
pay plaintiff the $500.
