The nucleus Of this organization will be the
Merchants Association. plank will be pre-
pared declaring for the city's ownership OF lts
water supply and declaring specifically against
Ramapo This plank will be presented to the
party managers of both parties. Then let them
accept it or reject it. If the plank is rejected by
one party and accepted by another we VIII
throw the full force of this commercial organi-
zaton in favor of the party which declares
against the job. Every candidate for the Senate

the duty Of any honest citizen. with the inter
ests OF the city at heart to take the nomina-
tion the opposition ticket and fight out the

end Of the year, there is nothing TO prevent the
Ramapo raiders from beginning their work
again unless their charter is taken away and
they are permanently stopped"
w N Coler, the father CT the Controller,
serted again yesterday that the interests Of the
firm Of w n. Coler g. Co., In which the Controller
is a partner, demanded that the Controller
should retire from politics at the expiration Of
his term of office and give his attention to the
business Of the firm. Experts are examining
the firms books to ascertain how much Frank
w CoIer owed to the firm when he left II. about
a month ago. W. n. Coler said yesterday that
he had compelled his Frank to leave the
firm because the young had been too
trayagant and had used bad judgment In
ming the firms business. He had assumed all
the debts of his Frank to the firm. and
thought they would be less than S2O0.OoO.

THE "RED SHIRT" TERROR
Continued from page 4.

was covered with rotten eggs. In Rockingham
County the Red Shirt" craze has been so great
that the Rev. James S: Lawson, Baptist minis
ter has entirely lost his mind and has been put
in the asylum at Morganton- At the town Of
Wilson last week an old negro went with his
10 register. The official refused to regis
ter the son, and the old negro remarked that
the register knew more about the age of his
son than his father did whereupon the Red
Shirts" standing around fell upon the two ne
groes and beat them nearly to death
Ex-Populist Congressman Fowler had an ap-
poIntment to speak in the town Of Washington,
and was met by the Red Shirts" and assisted
on boat which carried him away from there
without speaking. 1t is openly boasted by the
Democrats that by having the Red Shirts at
the places Of registration not less than twenty
five thousand negroes have refused TO register.
In Scotland County, of one thousand negroes,
only twenty-five registered Oscar ]. Spears
Assistant United States Attorney filled an ap-
pointment in Durham last night, and as he left
the courthouse the Red Shirts threw bushel
Of rotten eggs at him, many Of them striking
his person.
The state is simply Red Shirt camp, and
will continue so until the election is over. 1t is
expected that thousands Of Republicans and
Populists will be challenged on Election Day
and prevented from voting. All semblance of a
republican form Of government has vanished,
and the cry is that the end justifes the means.
Ex-Judge ". r. Allen. when in the Legislat-
ure' announced that the present Election law
was formed for the purpose Of securing the
adoption of the proposed constitutional amend
ment, and when that was done an election
law would be enacted that would compel an
honest election. The scenes of the days of Sc
oession are being re-enacted every day. The
AH hfrN.t
them came the Ku Klux. and the terror is just
as widespread as more so than, on either of
the former occasions. Old citizens say they
never expected in time of profound peace to
witness the absence Of civil liberty and depriva-
ton Of personal liberty and the corruption and
debauchery of the ballot that exist
throughout the "old North State"

NO MARKET NEWS ON CHICAGO r5cKERs

Chicago Board Of Trade quotations on grain and
provisions to-day. and many exchanges in other
cities and the bueketshops had to depend on other
means TO secure the quotations Instead Of Chica
grain quotations the tckers handled the auctustons
of the New-York Minneapolis. Duluth ST. Louis
and other markets. Local commission houses with
Board OF Trade connections were supplied by the
new Cleveland Telegraph Company. which is under
contract with the Board OF Trade 10 handle its
quotations exclusively IN Chicago ana to furnish
them only TO bona nde commission houses.
The Milwaukee Exchange supplied with Chi
cago quotations directly the wires OF the
Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph Company. and
the Detroit Chamber of Commerce supplied BY
one OF Its members having seat on the Chicago
Board The Kansas City and ST. Louis exchanges
did not blackboard Chicago quotations. but used the
prices OF the New-York market.
The shutting out OF the bucketshops and many
outside markets apparently did not have much ef-
feet local trading.
