RICHMOND is TAKEN.
Aycock has Captured the Old Pee Dee
County.

Rockingham, N. c., Oct. 3.-(Special)
-Chas. Z. Aycock captured Richmond
county to-day here with two of his
most eloquent and powerful speeches,
he spoke to a good crowd in the court
house at Rockingham at 10 o'clock and
for an hour and a half threw bomb
shells into the already wavering lines
of the Mark Hanna gold bugs. He
poured volley after volley of death
dealing facts and figures into the enc
my's camp and caused a number to
come boldly out and declare that the
cause of silver was the cause of the
masses, and that they would take their
stand on the side of right. Leading col
Ored men were heard to tell their fol-
lowers that this was not question of
party, but question of bread and
meat, and that they were determined
for this year at least to put party be-
hind them and vote for their own in-
terest.
At night MrAycock, at their earnest
solicitation went out to Roberdell and
made telling two hours speech to the
assembled inhabitants of that beauti-
full little village, they were in the main
factory operatives, and no audience in
the State has more geniously applaud
ed the utterances of a speaker than
did that audience of honest and
industrious toilers. Rockingham is a
leading factory town and owners, su-
perintendents, managers and operators
are practical unit for Bryan, Cy Wat
son and free silver.

RBP-PoP. FUSION IN cARTERET.

Otho Wilson came here and arranged

favor of running a straight ticket.
Many prominent Populists say openly
they viii not support the ticket, Mr..
James Marshall, prominent one who
was nominated for commissioner, will
say in card in the Beaufort Herald

Roumania and Greece Have
Joined the Driebund.
UPRISING Or THE MAHEHEs
Emperor William Having Great
Sport at Romonton.
KILLS A BIG STAG EVERY DAY
The Heavy Storms of The Past Week
Have Done Immense Damage
On the Coast Of
Prussia.

Berlin, Oct. 3.--The sensational news
that Roumanfa and Greece have joined
the Dreibund and that the formal
agreements to this effect were signed
at Bucharest during THE presence there
of Emperor Joseph of Austria, after
the opening of the canal through the
cussed in political circles here. The
statements made are believed to be cor
rect, and are regarded as being of
prime importance for the Dreibund in
s'the event of any serious complications
in the situationaT King Charles of
Roumania has long been anxious to
join the Dreibund, but it was only late
sly that a binding bargain acceptable to
all parties was drawn up. 1t is ex-
pected that Seryia will also adhere to
the Dfeibund as soon as the influence
of ex-Queen Natalie, who is a Rus
sophie, is overcome.
The general uprising of the Mahehes,
the powerful and warIike tribe of
German East Africa, is causing uneasi-
ness in colonial circles here and else
where. The Mahehes, who met with
a crushing defeat from German troops
a couple of years ago, have this time
been melted by Arab chiefs and they
have excellent weapons and equip
ments. The rebellion seems to be
spreading around the whole Tangany~
ika region, and the troops available
are much too weak to cope with it.
In the meantime, Governor 4Yissmann
is still here, unwilling to return to his
post in East Africa owing to his shat
tered health, though he is being urged
ITO do 80. Moreover, the government is
not inclined to ask the Reichstag for
large increase in the number OF Ger
man East African troops, in view of the
big colonial budget, although the pres
ent forces are quite inadequate.
The purpose of the assembly was to
formulate opposition ito the growing
tendency of the Prussian government
in favor OF agrarian interests at the
expense of the interest of the cities
and to obtain the abolition of the pri-
vileges enjoyed by government off1ci-
ais, clergymen and teachers in muni-
cipal taxation.
Emperor William has had excellent
sport at Romonton this week, killing
a big stag every day. On Tuesday
he shot a 22-point stag, the biggest
in Germany for ten years, and he roy
ally rewarded the game keeper who
enabled him to bring it down. His
Majesty shook the man warmly by the
hand and sent him a bottle of cham
paigne to drink his health, and also pre-
sented the other foresters with a copy
d his Majesty's latest picture, ''St Mi
chael Standing Guard Over the Bless
ngs of Peace" Ten thousand of these
pictures have been reproduced in the
imperial printing office.

Convention of Ma
tional Associations.
IN SESSION AT ST. LOUIS
The City Bubbling Over With
Democratic Enthusiasm.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
He Made a Speech to the Convention
After President Black Had Fin
ished His Quadrennial
Address.

st. Louis, Mo, Oct 3.-This rather
conservative town fairly boiled over
with Democratic enthusiasm to-day.
1t was visible at every corner, and
scores of banners which had been hung
across the streets proclaimed it to the
world. And if one were to judge by
the badges and buttons worn by citi-
2ens, one might easily have been con-
strained to believe that the Democracy
had overwhelmed St. Louis from the
riever to it's western limits. This was
the opening day of the quadrennial
convention of the National Association
of Democratic clubs.
The delegates began to arrive yes
terday, and they have been pouring in
on every road that comes into the city
since that time. All the morning they
where the eurb-stone orators shouted
with enthusiastic energy, explaining
the money question and the true sig'-
nificance of 16 to 1.
Then there were bands of music Of
every sort and description from the
back woods and from the metropolitan
cities, playing patriotic airs.
1T was about 1890 in the forenoon

to assemble at the Auditorium where
the convention was held, and it was al
most an hour later when President G.
F. Black called the meeting to order.
At least 800 delegates and an audience
of 500 were present, and the vast hall
was we'll filed with visitors. When
the blessing of the Diety had been in

dience joined. When the applause fol-
lowing the singing had died away,
President Black delivered his quadren-
NAL address.
Mr.. Black declared that the cause
which the Democratic party was sup
porting was that of no class, no sec
ton, but of the people as whole. 1t
was the cause of all classes from all
parts of the country. He then entered
into the discussion of the money ques-
ton, and concluded by denouncing
Hark Hanna and the monied power.
Mr.. Black was frequently interrupt
ed by applause. When he had finished,
he introduced Vice-President Steven
son who made a somewhat lengthy
speech.

finished, Gov. Stone, of Missouri, was
introduced. He excused himself from
making am extended speech, as he had
contracted a severe cold. He then pro-
ceeded to formally welcome the dele
gates.
At the conclusion of Gov. Stones
address of welcome, several unimport-
amt resolutions regarding the rules
governing the convention were adopt
ed, after which Congressman New
lands, of Nevada, was introduced He
addressed the convention on the-silHer
question. When he had finished an

Last night at the regular meeting
of the Raleigh Branch of the
international Association of Me-
chanics letter, sent to the Lodge
from corresponding Lodge in Dem

something of a sensation. The letter
is as follows:
No. ii Wall Street.
New York, August 10, 1896.
To Hon. r. c. Bell, Fort Wayne, Ind:
Dear Sir: The committee of politi-
cal education of Wall street, this city,
to which the undersigned has the honor
to belong, having determined that each
member should write personally to at
least one or more prominent party
leaders of the silver cause, your name
, has been handed to me. You are des-
cribed as of fair mind and large in
fluence in your State. therefore adj
dress you in the hope that you may
be persuaded from your present
course, for you are leading the lower
classes, the laborers, artisans, mechan-
les and agriculturists Of your State
into step which will cause them great
distress,
nances. and are therefore capable of
determining such questions, know
there is at this time TOO MUCH MON

city to be loaned on call, with good
collateral such as government gold
bonds, where it is really needed, at
remunerative rates. Your methods
are such as to frighten all money lend

money! No one can ten what laws
your candidate Gf elected) may sug-
gest; while even now the laws are all
against our people. We are forced to
loan money at such rates as we can
get. If we cannot get 10 per cent we
take 8; if we cannot get we take and
in peaceful times even lower, and it is
difficult even then to keep our money
at work. But what do your working
men say? If they cannot get a dollar
a day they refuse to work, while they
ought to take IS cents or even so cents
so that we may keep them at work
You ought to teach them that 81 per
day on Ia GOLD basis is enormous pay
in this country; no gold country pays
more bhan so cents for labor, while
here living is the cheapest of all coun-
tries, providing the lower classes will
live as they should live. They are
really extrayagant; thy buy meat four
or five days in the week; they even
indulge often in pie, which is no kind
of food to be enjoyed by working peo-
pie and does them no good. Rice is one
of the most healthy and nourishing of
foods, it is CHEAP and can be raised
in endless quantities, but workmen
avoid it as a general food They eat
wheat bread when rye is much more

A BOLD TICKET FORGERY.
A Charlotte Man Selling Bogus Ches-
ter and Ienoir Tickets.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 3.-One of the
boldest ticket forgeries on record here
was unearthed to-day by the detective
department and firm of brokers deal
ing exclusive in railroad tickets. AS a
result J. Todd, who claims Charlotte.
N. c., as his home, is under arrest. The
name of the superintendent of the
Chester and Lenoir railroad was writ
ten on the tickets which Todd tried to
sell and which are pronounced by the
authorities of that company to be
bogus. Where they were printed is not
known, but they were correctly filed
out, stamped, punched and signed. Tt
is believed that there has been a num-
ber of them circulated in Atlanta. The
ticket read from YorlSville to Portland,
Oregon.

TWO sTAIGHTs ron THE ORIOLES.
Spiders Have Lost Their Proyerbial
Luck in the Temple Cup Series.

Baltimore, Md, Oct 9.-'Brother
joe Corbett was the star in tQ-day's
Temple Cup game and under his skill
full generalship the Orioles took the
second game of the series with quite
as much ease as they did that of yes
terday. The crowd was aggain provol1-
ingly small, owing, no doubt to the
threatening weather. The small at
tendance here has so discouraged the
players that there is strong talk of
playing the other games either in
Pittsburg or Cincinnati en- route to
Cleveland, and if the baseball cranks
of the Forest City do not turn out in
greater numbers than they do in Bal
timore, it is likely that the rest of the
gtames will be fought out on neutral
grounds.
To-day's contest was one-sided to a.
degree that deprived it of much of it's
interest, although it abounded in good
plays. The score tells the story:
