The people who have been hauling
Ben Franklin's reputation over the
Goals appear to have got the worst of
1t. The principal onslaught upon
Franklin's good name was made by
Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer,, the
secretary of the Colonial Danes, of
New York city, but she has been forced
to resign her secretaryship under the
displeasure of the society, and Mrs.
Humphreys, who proudly names
Franklin as the original forbear of her
line, has been notified that she is a Co
lonial Dame in good standing. Frank
lin appears to be indicated. Let us
hope that the Colonial Danes will re-
frain from attacking George Washing

President Kruger is on his way to
England by invitation to confer with
the shrewd British statesmen and the
New York Tribune thinks he will prove
a match for the men who desire to meet
him. The colonial secretary who picks
him up as "tenderfoot," says the Tri-
bune, makes the mistake of the nat
uralist who picks up a box turtle as a
remnant of the paleozoic age. He has
the wisdom of Minerals owl and Mer-
cury's serpent, with the cunning of a
Tuskegee opossum and the slipperiness
of an Orinoco eel. He may come to
England, but they will have to angle
for him more daintily than heretofore
if they expect to land him. And If he
comes he may lay them all out in di-
plomacy, leaving Salisbury and Cham
berlain stretched upon the field and the
whole foreign Office in flight. There is
a good deal of unraveled history yet in
Dom Paul. and. according to indica-
tions. he seems disposed to unravel it
i'm his own manner"

The habit the ladies have of carrying
their cash in pocketbooks within easy
reach of the first thief that comes
along has prompted an ingenious in
ventor to make a pocketpook which he
calls the woman's new defender" or
1.-The new woman's defender" which is
a combination pocketbook and black
jack" or loaded billy" in which a
portion of the innocent looking purse
contains a compact piece of lead,
weighing about two ounces. Running
lengthwise through the pocketbook is a
stout piece of whalebone, which at one
end is securely fastened to the piece of
lead and is also fastened in the stitch
ing at the other end. With this new
pocketbook a woman could give a high
wayman a Fitzsimmons Highlander.
Bullet proof corsets have long been in
vogue and have a fine record of lives
saved to their credit. The new woman
is going to be prepared for warfare,
both offensive and defensive.

Nearly all estimates agree in placing
Mckinley not only in the lead. but
greatly in the lead. McKinley's
strength as given above is said to be
a conservative" estimate. Some Nc
Kinley enthusiasts go so far as to pre-
dict his nomination on the first ballot.
While that is not at all likely, the in
dications are that after the first bal
lot the fight will soon narrow down TO
the first four leaders, and eventually
come to a showdown between McKin-
ley and Reed. or Mckinley and Allison.
1t is not always the strongest man at
the start that lands at the finish. But
unlike Blaine in 1876 and Grant in 1850.
Mckinley has no powerful, active, bit
ter, organized clique to fight against.
Quay. Plat and Cullom may form a
combination. and If they do II will be
very strong one. but IL will be a COM
bination on different lines and for diff
ferent purposes than the factional al
liances that defeated Blaine and Grant.
1t will be promptly recognized as a
gang of highwaymen out for plumber.
and will therefore have to depend en-
tirely on brute force. for it will not
only have no moral weight of its own
but will challenge and antagonize all
the moral sentiment in the convention.
McKinley's present lead may prove
harmful to him because it will draw
the opposition of all the other candi-
dates. Favorite sons jump into the
contest to prevent Mckinley from pick
ing up stray delegates. There is no
candidate on whom a majority of the
delegates would be more likely to
agree for second choice than Allison.
But the natural selection of Allison
may be prevented by the manipulation
of the bosses

The issue. whether the Democracy and

s:biIity rests. /, as your chairman, nav

active support at the polls.
particularly wish to impress upon you
tbe favorable aspect of Wake county
In 1894 the fusion majority against Us
was 1000. The situation of 1896 pre-
sents a different aspect. There is gain
of $50 in the white registration of the
county, and after a careful canvass OF the
county, the returns show great dissatis-
faction among the Populists-many pub
licly avowing their purpose to vote the
Democratic ticket. This assures great
reduction of the majority against us III
the townships outside of Raleigh.
/ therefore depend upon the work done
by you to-day at the polls. Whether we
shall be victorious or suffer defeat. /
therefore urge upon you to go to the polls
early and remain there all day. Give to
the Democracy your earnest effort, and
/ pledge you the defeat Of the Russell
Young combine.
With this last appeal to you for your
aid and support, | leave the welfare of

POLITICAL POINTS.

1t was learned last night that no
Populist tickets for Presidential electors
and State officers have been sent to
Brunswick county. Doubtless this ras-
cality has been praticed in other counties
Parson Leak said yesterday that he
considered Jim Young practically already
beaten. He added that great number
of negroes, both in Raleigh and in the
country, would scratch jim and vote for
Nelson O'Kelly.
a telegram from Davie county yestcr-
day informed Chairman Manly that gum
med electoral tickets to be stuck over
the names Of Democratic electors were
being sent out from here by the Republi-
cans.
The news comes from Snakebite pre-
cinct, BERTHE county, that the registration
book there has been stolen. This report
could not be confirmed, but give it for
what it is worth, so that in case Snake
bite is not heard from at once when the
Bryan and Mckinley returns begin to
come in the people of this great nation
may know the cause
Col. Andrews and DIR. Hawkins were
yesterday betting even money that Nc
kinley would carry North Carolina. They
took about 5000 to this tune. but they
began to see the color of Bryan money
so fast that they decided they had enough
and many Would-be bettors were turned
down. Ii this little betting incident was
meant for a bluff it failed TO work and
Bryan men were only strengthened in
their belief that their candidate would
win,
That Mark Hanna's Hal-ly has not only
sold out Guthrie, but Bryan as well,
was demonstrated yesterday when secret
circulars were sent out to PopuIists of
the State telling them that Craig, Thorn
as, Keith, Kluttz, York and Gilmer, were
Sewall electors, and the rest were Watson
electors While this circular does not
advise the scratching of the Democratic
electors, that is evidently it's purpose.
This is the browning infamy to He'll Air S
career Of perfdy, trickery and dishonor.
Mark Hanna7s money was yesterday in
evidence, and more than one negro was
S'seen" during the day. Most Of them
got all the liquor they could hide under
their shirts, while others fingered the

Mckinley man too quick was demon
strated in front of a Wilmington street
bar-room. -Four negroes were standing
there when two strange white maI
walked up. Politics was at once The
topic of conversation. The three Older
negroes expressed some doubt as to how
they would vote and spoke rather favor
able of Mr. Bryan, but the fourth ant
younger one was a hot Mckinley man
The result was that the doubtful mei
were taken around the corner and givei
So each and the Mckinley man wa
told that he would be ''seen" later.
