HILL STRONG IN BROOME COUNTY.
JUDGE DOWNS SAYS CROKER WILL GET
BADLY FOOLED"

Binghamton. n Y July II CspeciaD.--A con-
sensus Of opinion shows that Hill has the con-
trolling hand in the Broome County Democracy
in this city. Croker's friends have repeatedly
met Gefeat at the caucuses and conventions this
year This state Of affairs is a complete change
about from last year.
Judge F. w. Downs has just returned from the
Kansas City Convention. He says:
Croker IS not satisfied With controlling New
York City but he wants to get his hand into
State and National affairs. He will get badly
fooled Il he tries il. and at the next State Con-
vention. with the Tammany dictator in the
whrl. you look for pretty warm time
Upstate people won't allow his presumption
and If he does not know enough to keep home,
look out for trouble
Danforth will be a candidate for Governor,
and I should not he surprised to see him get it.
although Coler. standing so close to Hill. makes
Coler 4 powerful candidate.
County Chairman c E Halt and State Com
rnitteeman Charles F. O'Brien are called Hill
men. and they are said to be looking for har-
monious campaign so far the two leaders are
concerned.
Mayor Jerome De Witt has not thoroughly
canvassed the situation. but Judging from the
present outlook. he says Hill certainly has the
support Of the majority Of the party in this
section.
Cortland A. Wilbur. candidate for the nom
ination Of County Judge, says:
Everybody in this part Of the State is for Hill
The same is true throughout the State outside Of
Manhattan. No organization work has yet been
commenced Indeed. there is need OF i'm

NEW ERA IN THE SOUTH.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CHARLOTTE
OBSERVERS" DECLARATION
AGAINST BRYAN.
LRY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.I

Charlotte y. c., July 11.-There is a good
deal more in the detection Of The Charlotte
Observer" from the support of Bryan than ap-
pears on the surface. That paper, which is
the leading and best established newspaper in
the State. unwilHng1y lent its aid in 1896 to the
Democratic Presidential ticket. It's reasons
were opposition to Bryan on account of his free
silver ideas and dislike of the injunction"
plank in the platform Overcomink its repug-
nance then. it finds it harder to do so this year
on two grounds: First, because it is a news
paper given to considerable independence. and
it does not want to be persuaded to do a thing
twice which it believes it was wrong have
dcne the first time. The Observer" is almost
the only daily paper in North Carolina that
stood up through thick and thin for Mr.. Cleve-
land in his last Administration. and about
the only one which defended his course at the
time of the campaign in 1896.
The second reason is far stronger, in the sense
that it is a Symptom of a revolt in the South
from the anti-expansion notions of the Bryan
lied Democracy The Observers" stated rea-
sons. already given in The Tribune's special dis
patch from Charlotte, do not explain, although
they hint at, the chief reason for it's declared
action. The Observer is largely owned by D.
A Tompkins one of the foremost of Southern
cotton mill owners and prime mover in the
recent attempt of the Southern milling interest
to expand American trade In the Orient. ChaT-
otte is the headquarters of this interest, and the
two Caroinas are permeated with the ideas ad-
vanced at their recent convention.
In fact from Virginia to Texas there is
growing sentiment in behalf of the expansion of
the industries of the South in the Chinese and
Japanese and other Eastern regions. Senator
McLaurin, of South Carolina, young, vigorous
Independent and progressive, has given this
movement his cordial support in and out of Con
gress, and other public men of that section
favor ii.
The attitude Of The Charlotte Observer" one
of the most influential newspapers between Rich
mond and New Orleans, is therefore very signif-
cant. 1t does not matter that it declares it will
not support the reelection of President McKin-
ley. It's declaration against the Democratic can
didates. though eXVice-P President SteVensOn'S
name is highly commemorative editor being a
personal friend of the candidate for the second
plaCe-marks a significant era in Southern poll
tics. It shows that papers of large circulation
and invested capital dare to stand out against
the dominant party whenever, in their opinion
the course of that party is inimcal to the ma
terial interests Of the section OF the country
at large There may be other Charlotte OBJ
servers" And. after all the paramount issue
may kick backward and knock the inventors
over.

THE LYNCHING AT BELAIR.
Limb Broke, and the Negro Was Swung Up a
Second Time.
(By the Associated Press.)

Belair. Md. March 27.-The mob that
lynched the negro Harris here early this
morning came mostly from Aberdeen,
neighboring village. Shortly after mid
night about twenty men, some masked
made the attack on the Jail. A fusillade
OF shots were exchanged between the
sheriff and his deputies who were on
watch and the mob. resulting in the
wounding of Robert L. Bull. Of Belair
and an Aberdeen man. Neither wound
was serious. While in the hands of the
mob Harris exclaimed:
If / did it, men, l was drunk and did
not know what | was about | have no
recollection of it,"
The mob hustled him to a neighboring
docr-yard in which stood a large poplar
tree and placing a moose around his neck
flung the other end of the rope over
limb. AS he was hoisted from the ground
the limb upon which the unfortunate
wretch was suspended snapped short and
Harris fell TO the ground. He was lifted
up again, moaning and groanng and
quickly hanged a second time this tine
effectively. Several shots were fired into
the body. the loose end of the rope was
tied to a gate post and the corpse left
hanging until this morning when it was
taken down. Miss McIlvaine Harris vic
tim, is an unmarried woman about "a
years Of age. who lives alone near the
railway station. She was called to her
door at midnight Saturday and attacked
by negro whom she afterward identified
as Harris.
