LETTER FROM WHEELER.
Tho General Favors Holding tn
Philippines

Huntsville, Ala, Nov. 25.-A man in
Huntsville has received letter from
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, dated Santa Rita,
Gen. Wheeler gives his views ON the
question of the annexation of the Phil
ippines by this government. Gen.
Wheeler says, among other things:
'sIhe time has come for the people
of the United States 10 discuss the
question of what is to be done with the
Philippines. The territory controlled
by us contains more than, 100000 peo-
pie. If We We're to abandon Inc coun-
try these people, who desire american
protection, would he subjected to I'LL
kinds OF reprisals; their property
would be ccnfiscared and many of
them would be, killed. For us 10 60
on and conquer the country and then
withdraw our army and abandon the
country would make matters worse
than TO leave it now. We have Induced
people to adhere to us and, therefore,
would leave them to become the VIC
TINS of revenge.
There is another view. We drove
out the Spaniards, who had been the
governing power for nearly 400 years.
For us to withdraw would leave a con-
diiion of anarchy, and foreigners who
own property in the country would
have certainly n strong moral claim
against the United States for their
lcsses. anere are nearly, if not quite,
thirty distinct tribes in the Philippine

The people of Iowa feel very crate
full for the great benefit they have re-
ceived from the use of Morrow's Kid

where other remedies have failed, and
the people of this state have not been
slow to find this out, and they add
their testimony that their friends may
know what to use and get cured.

he has not gained in the confidence of
the people of this country. Both wings
OF the democratic party are at this
time united and are agreed that he
should be the candidate next year.
The Gold Democrau..
I'm 1895 there We're quite a number
of wealthy democrats who assumed
that the party was making an attack
on property and that Mr.. Bryan was
demagogue and unsafe man; they
know now that they misjudged the
man at that time, and with very few
exceptions they nowthink he is an alb
solutely safe man, man of adaman-
tine integrity and altogether one of the
most conservative of public men in
America. This feeling is being now
Especially evidenced among the wealthy
men of New York and other eastern
states, and they are very largely and
numerously expressing their willing
ness and desire TO support Mr.. Bryan's
candidacy. Mr.. Bryan has been the
recognized leader of the forces that are
opposed to imperialism and opposed to
the grinding power of the trusts and
monopolies. He is the natural and log
ical candidate on those issues, and
without a single platform declaration
of any kind, he himself would be a
platform on the three great questions
referred to-money, Imperialism and
trusts.
The Preparation.
"The democratic national committee
and its executive committee are get
ting things in much better shape for
the campaign of 1900 than
that in which the party found
itself after the tremendous strug-
gle at Chicago when it faced
when it had to deal with disorganiza-
ton among its own forces, together
with complete poverty and a very short
time for the educational work necessary
to be done.
Hopes for Early Campaign.
81 hope to see an early campaign in
augurated, and when the battle does
open I am sure it will be waged by a
compact, well-organized and reunited
democracy, fairly well supplied with
the sinews of war and fighting from
the vantage ground of absolute right
in the issues sj

frame houses were unable to sleep
a good part of the night on &C.
count of the heavy wind, which
seemed dangerous several times.
The tide at Morehead was SO
high as to prevent the train from
reaching the wharf. At WrIghts-
vile the high water swept over
the beach and much damage was
done. Il is feared that great dams

but it was not until after dark
that it began to back up on the

A visit toward the docks show
ed that the tide was indeed up.
On Craven street the water COW

exchange and a little further along
it was knee deep. On the docks
the water was several feet in depth.
On Middle street the water was
within four doors of South Front

Early in the evening the water
was up in the electric light house
ard the lights were gone, adding
darkness to the other evils. The
