SENATOR CHANDLER On THE iNfLu
ENCE OF SPANISH BONDS.

ENCE OF SPANISH BONDS.
In another column We publish an in
terview from Senator Chandler which
was published in the New York jour
nal Of May nth. As our readers know.
Mr.. Chandler is Republican Senator.
1t shows = great deal Of courage and
patriotism to thus boldly state . truth,
which is a stain on bis party and
matter Of shame and regret to every
American. Spain has issued bonds to
the amount OF $l,7OO,OOO.OO Some
body outside Of Spain has bought up
and own nearly all Of these bonds. No
doubt . large part Of them are owned
by spectators ia the Uuited States.
1t il feared that = large part Of them
are owned in Washington City. 1t is
generally believed that the owners OF
these bonds in Europe and America
have formed a syndicate and are act
ing unitedly.
Say these spectators bought Spanish
bonds at forty cents on the dollar, il
the United States should move vigOr.
ously, crush Spsin's fleet, take the
Philippines Islands, Cuba and Porto
Rico, not only crushing the Spanist
army and navy but taking from thai
nation her richest possessions, ther
what would happen9 Spanish bonds
would fall in value. In short SpaiI
would never be able to pay them. Nov
what is the gang Of greedy shylOck'
who own these bonds doing9 They ar
hanging around Washington City at
tempting to coatrol Congress and tn
Administration; they are trying t.
get the Administration to humiliat'
our own flag to put filthy dollars int
their own pockets As intimated o
rather boldly suggested by Senate
Chandler. 1t is this hellish influence
which is trying to keep recruits from
being sent to the assistance Of Dewey
and trying to keep Admiral Sampson
fleet from stricking a decisive blow
against the Spanish fleet and at ono
taking Cuba and Porto Rico.
In the meantime there is anothe
set Of greedy sharks who want tn
war to last a. long as possible SO As
increase the expense and force an is
sue of bonds from our own govern
ment. 1t is this syndicate Of SPANS
and American bond sharks who are tn
real enemies to the American flag an
American prosperity.

P0pulist Convention was in session oil
night last night and completed its
work and adjourned At 6 80 O'clock
this morning. The fight for control
OF the party and OF its policy in North
Carolina was between Senator Marion
Butler and Congressman Harry Skin
ner. 1t WAS the hardest fought battle
ever waged in a political convention
in the State. and ended in complete
victory for Senator Butler. The Skin
ner people loudly proclaimed that they
had the convention by safe majority.
some Of them claiming it by twO-thirds
The fight WAS over the proposition
to offer cooperation with the Demo.
crate. Butler favored this and Skin
ner opposed it. Each had able lieu
tenants, but by bold, fearless, aggres-
sive, and smart generalship Butler
took the convention completely, rout.
ing the opposition, and passed his re.
solution by q vote Of 675 to 285. Al
4 O'clock this morning he made in the
convention the strongest and perhaps
the most effective speech he ever made

measured up to the highest stand
ard Of patriotic duty. The party Is now
and has always been the beacon light
In the political armament, warning the
people against the treacherOus sand
shoals Of greed and the deadly hidden
rocks Of monopoly; and, on the other
hand, pointing to the only haven OF
good government-the rule OF the pso-
pie.
Two years ago the Peoples party
urged all Of the supporters Of Bryan to
cooperate, not only to save the cleo
t0ral ticket, but to elect nine silver and
anti-monopoly Congressman, and also
an anti-monopoly legislature. The
Cleveland gold and monopoly element
In the Democratic party was strong
enough to defeat such q cooperation
except on the electoral ticket. The re-
suits are before US aud need no com.

IL would have been following simply
the ordinary impulses Of human ma
turs II the Peoples party had said
this year that it would have nothing tC
do with q party controlled by such sell
nsh and unpatriotic influences; but
every member Of the Peoples party
knows that the rank and file Of the
Democratic party is As much opposed
to the domination Of gold and mOnOp'
oily and as patriotic as the Peoples
party has always proven itself to be
Therefore, the Peoples party has put
its patriotism and love Of country
above the feelings Of pref JUDGE or falss
party pride, and has proposed CO.
operation Of all who believe in Bryan
and his principles, Of all who are Op
posed to gold and monopoly, of all VIII

election Of an anti.mOnOpOly legisla

The Democratic State Convention
meets to-day. IL the honest sentimen
Of the masses of the party is represen
ted in its convention, this patriot
proposition for cooperation on prin
oiples in tn. interests of humanity an
good government will be accepted
But on the other hand, il the Cleve
land goldbugs and the monOpol
agents and attorneys control the con

proposition. Such monopoly tools hat
Bryan and his principles as much IS tn

This proposition for cooperation o

out in good faith and will result in
glorious victory. IL such a cO-0pers

BURROUGHS ARE GRANTED.
Time for Returning Expires on the
2Sth Of October.

The Columbia Register, Of Thursday
says: The soldiers Of the First regi-
ment are wearing happy smile today.
This morning furloughs were granted to
the volunteers and consequently feel
ing Of JOY passed over them all. For
several days they have been in sus-
pense, anxiously awaiting an opportu-
nifty to go to their homes. The fur
loughs expire on the 2Sth of October,
and on that day every soldier is reQuir-
ed to be in camp If be is rot there
will be trouble in store. He of course
will receive his discharge, but may have
some penalty to pay. He will also ex-
perience no little difficulty in getting
his pay, owing to his absence on the day
of mastering out But it is presumed
that all the soldiers will return prompt
ly in order to get their papers Of dis
charge and thus quit the service. Sew
eral have asked for an immediate dis
charge, and consequently their requests
have been granted. About so have
been examined and discharged today.
1t is thought that few more will pre-
sent themselves to the examining sur.
geon and then ask Capt. Fuller for a
discharge. 1t is safe to say, however,
that the total number in this category
will not exceed 100. The entire regi-
mcnt with the exception of these who
will be kept to do guard duty during
the next 30 days is at liberty to go
where it pleases, the only condition
being imposed is that all return on the
18th of October. The guards will be
required to remain here until the final
muster out. Just how many Of the
soldiers who are on furloughs will re-
main is not known, but owing to lack
of funds some of them are experiencing
some difficulty in getting away. 1t may
be that they will wait for the coming Of
the paymaster But here another ques-
tion arises, how long will they have to
wait? The paymaster is due here on
the first, but no intimation concerning
his coming has been received. He has
been wired for, but no response has
come. The soldiers did not receive
their pay for the month of August un-
til the 18th Of September, and they
hope to fare better this month. There
are about 25 soldiers who are i'll at the
hospital IN Jacksonville, but are rapid
ly improving. On Thursday nine Of
them were discharged. The health of
the soldiers here is very good, and
there are only few cases in the hospi-
tai here

A FIGHT IN THE PARTY.
Plans for Sinking the Bryan Influence
and Restoring the Cleveland Faction.

A dispatch from Washington says
there is a fixed determination on the
part of some of the democratic congres-
sional leaders to force an Investigation
of the war by congressional commit
tee. regardless of the result Of the work
of the commission now in session. The
indications are that there will be a
stormy session from the hour that con-
eress meets. There is secret fight on
within the democratic lines which the
campaign this fall will probably bring
into the open, and the contention OF
factions in that party will be added to
the general activity along party lines.
Mr.. Bryan is still here, detained by an
attack of malaria, and perhaps disturb
ed by the conflicting opinions OF his
friends. It's understood that his own
inclination is TO remain with his regl-
ment and 90 wherever it may be order
ed. but those who want him to get out
of the army at any cost say that there
is a secret movement on foot to over
throw his influence, and that while he
is being restrained from active political
work by his commission in the army,

is making progress. In this conncc-
ton it is asserted that a democratic
victory has been arranged for in New
York for the purpose Of re-establlshlng
the influence of the New York element
in directing the course of the party
and that the eastern contingent IN con-
gress. which now amounts to practically
nothing, will be increased by the eiec-
ton this fail so as to insure its having

seats in the house from certain quarters
