WEBSTER'S BIG SPEECH IN KER-
NERSVILIJE.

Kernersville, n. c., Oct. .26.--(Spe-
ciaD-Hon. John r. Webster spoke
here on Saturday to a large crowd. He
was warmly and enthusiastically re-
ceived, He made a strong and telling
speech Towards the close he made
the following references to the Demo
cratic candidates:
:eHere in our own State, and in your
own county, we have as candidate
for oGvernor Forsyth's distinguished
son-Hon G. b. Watson, who has
grown up among you and overcome
his humble surroundings and to-day
stands without peer in advocacy of
free silver and good government. You
find this brilliant genius confronted
by Judge Russell, who depends upon
his savages to introduce a reign of
terror in our State if elected to the
governorship.
(which do you prefer?
you find in your Congressional dis
trict lifelong Democrat and able
politician, Mr.. Doughton, than whom
a better never went from your State to
the halls TO Congress, opposed by r. z.
Linney, who has the reputation (if
any at alp of being sui generis and
of having misrepresented his section
in the last Congress. Is there any
sane man in the State who would vote
for the latter in preference to the
former? II so, / only trust he does
not live in this Congressional district.

THE NEWS IN ANSON.
Some of the Populists are Kicking
Over the Nomina ton of Negroes.

Cotile OI uilS IOpulISUS are Kicking
Over the Nominate of Negroes.
Wadesboro, n c., Oct. 26.-( -(Spec;al.)
The Republicans in this county are
greatly stirred up because the better
class Of the white Populists refuse to
endorse the negro put on the county
ticket for commissioner and another
one nominated for the Legislature.
No doubt the action of the Republicans
IN putting negroes on the ticket will
drive good many Populists back to
the Democratic ranks as they say they
can't quite come down to voting for
negroes yet. The negroes are organic
ing in all parts of the county, and are
taking more interest in this election
than they have in many years before.
Some of their leaders have recently
been to Raleigh, and came back with
pockets full of money. The Democrats
are up and doing, and are confident of
holding the county, but it is going to
take work to do 1t as this county is
pretty close. The Democratic Execu-
tive committee have issued blanks, and
large number of names on the regis
tration book will be challenged.
Politics in this county is in bad
condition, to say the least, and mostly
caused by a few white men who want
office.
Considering the bad crop year, the
State farm did very we'll i'm this county
on it's first trial Besides making a
large crop of grain and other stuff,
they will have about 200 bales of cot
ton. One of the convicts got away
a few days ago and went to where a
squad of railroad hands were at work
and began talking with them, and the
section master took him back to the
stockade and got SO reward.
The News and Observer deserves
the patronage and praise Of
every man who has drop of
North Carolina blood in his
veins, for the work it has done in this
campaign against Russellism and his
'1sayages. You have sounded the
bugle loud and long.

WILSON N LINE.
The Silver Men, Democrats and Popu-
lists, Fuse.

Wilson, N. c., Oct. 90 (Speeial.)-
This has been busy day with local
politicians. When the POpulist con-
vention met here in August a PROPOSE
tion for Republican fusion was ac-
cepted. BY the terms of this PROPOSE
tion, the Republicans were to have only
two offices, register of deeds and COM
missioner. But 10y shrewd manipula-
tions they put their men in every inn
portant position both on county and
legislative tickets. Several of these
men, especially the Senator, were out
spoken gold men, Some of the true
Populists would not stand such deal.
They came out in strong terms against
the fusion ticket. The result was q
meeting composed of representative
from every township in the county was
called to consider fusion with Demo-
Gratis. The meeting was held to-day
After due deliberation for several
hours, the Populists accepted a propO-
sition from the Democratic Executive
committee. BY the terms OF this pro-
position Mr. l.. r. NewsOm, a Populist,
was put UP as Senator from this dis
trict. In return for this W. NJ. Wells.
the Democratic register of deeds, was
endorsed by the Populists committee.
The remainder of both tickets were
left as put out by the two conventions.
BY this means the entire Democratic
ticket win be elected. The sentiment
against those who have guided POpu-
list politics is strong, and their men
win not be supported by the rank and
file Of the Populists. The Democratic
ticket is composed of good men, and
this fact ensures their election.
The prisoners confined in the county
Jail here broke out this morning. All
those confined on the first floor made
their escape through an opening made
in the cell bars. Four bars three quar-
ters of an inch thick were sawed in

JARVIS AND WHITAKER SPEAK.
The Populist Nominee in Catawba has
Promised to Vote for Pritchard-
Democratic Outlook Bright.

Hickory, N. c., Oct. 26.-(Special) -
Last Friday night Hon. Thos. j. Jarvis
addressed the Democrats of Hickory
at the Opera House. Notwithstanding
the rain an audience of two hundred
assembled and literally applauded the
Senator when advanced incontrOverti-
ble arguments for silver.
Mr.. Jarvis confined himself almost
entirely to national issues and urged
Democrats and Populists to unite in
support of Bryan. The Ex-Governor
has lost none of his power as a cam
palgner and his points were made
with remarkable clearness.
At the close of his speech the crowd
caught sight of a spectacled gentle
man who was sitting quietly in the
gallery. Instantly the house rang
with cries of whitaker! whitaker"
In response to repeated calls Judge
Spier Whitaker descended to the stage.
He first addressed himself to the Pop
ulists present. No man, he said, who
was a Populist could vote for a gold
bug. The very act of casting such a
ballot would place the man out of his
party. Mr.. Whitaker told with dra-
matte effect how the Populists of the
Fifth district repudiating the bargain
of their committee, are rallying almost
to a man around Kitchin. He then
turned his batteries upon Russell and
declared that the time had come when
the white people of the State most
stand together The curse and shame
of negro rule was wildly portrayed
His words were greeted with prolong-
| ed applause and repeated cheers. He
took his seat at last amid cries urging
him to go on.
The county candidates met here to-
| day Rowe, the Democratic nominee,
read a certificate from Mason. Good
son and Leonard, two upright citi-
zens of Catawba, stating that White
| man, the Populist nominee, had prom
| ised NJ. f. Hilderbrand and L. NJ Tat
| ten to support Pritchard. This state
| ment Totten denounced as false. Mr..
w. w. league, of Alexander, then
spoke.
He announced that he was advocating
| electoral fusion and by way of accom-
plishing his purpose denounced the
| Democrats for insincerity on the silver
question.
w. A. Self, Democratic nominee for
the Senate, then took the floor and
skinned Mr.. league in most scienti-
| fic manner.
The Democratic outlook in Catawba
is better than it has been for some time
and fusionists are troubled over the
| situation.

HORRORS OF THE MASSACRE In
EASTERN TURKEY.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 26.-Advices from
Harpoot, Eastern Turkey, received
here confirms the dispatches to the
Associated Press in regard to the ex-
tent and barbarity of the recent mas
sacre at Egin. These advices state
that many of the dead were left in the
streets for days as the food for dogs,
and large numbers were thrown into
the Euphrater. The bodies were seen
floating down the river forty or fifty
miles below the city. In some cases
whole families were obliterated. Exact
statistics of course, cannot be given
now, but it is feared that 1000 is an
underestimate. All the testimony at
hand concurs in showing that the
massacre was official and that it was
wholly without reason.

CONFUSION IN ORANGE.

Chapel Hill, N. c., Oct -(special)
County candidate on both tickets
spoke here to-day to the voters of
Orange county. Holmes, Democratic
Populist fusion candidates for the
Legislature, denied the sworn state
ment of JAS. A. Cheek and others that
he would vote for a gold-bug for Uni
ted States Senate. Cheek made all
legged certified statement to York, who
denied them and the speaking came
near breaking up in a fight. Cheek
stated that Strowd, his running mate
for the State Senate, was a Populist
and the Populist would vote for him.
and at this point several Populists
emphatically denied it. He will not get
a Populist vote in this county. The en-
tire Democratic ticket is safe.
