Minister WI Calls on Hay.
The Chinese minister called on Sec
rotary Hay and had ten minutes
talk with him. Mr.. WI said he had
received no additional information, but
thought the situation looked much
brighter as a result of dispatches re-
ceived the previous day. There is a
possibility that Secretary Hay re-
quested Minister WI to call owing to
the urgent desire of the administra-

Ward!ng Amer
For What He Had Done Against the
People and His Party.

One of the plainest attempts to bull
doze that has ever been made by the
politicians in control of the Proxy sys
tenn was that of Monday evening when
the lobby of the Council Chamber was
filed with Anderson shouters, who
gave vigorous assistance to the Repub-
lican Councilmen in their attempt to
force upon the citizens Of the Fourth
ward an official against whom they
had so Enthusiastically declared them
selves but a few weeks ago.
A special meeting of Council was
held Monday evening. Among other
features which made necessary spe-
cial meeting was the approval Of
bonds presented by the assessors ap-
pointed for the several wards of this
city.
The bond of every appointee with the
exception of that of L. H. Amer, of
the Fourth ward, was approved with
out a dissenting vote. Mr. Amer's
bond, in a restrictive sense, did not
once figure in the objection that caused
the Democratic Councilmen to vote
against him. His bond was good, but
it was against the insolent, bull-dozing
attempt Of "Czar' Anderson and his
seryile Proxies on the Board of City
Commissioners to throw back on the
citizens of the Fourth ward man
whom they had thrown out for betray-

The only result was a tie vote, ) to >.
For moment both sides rested. Then
Judge Stuart. who was there merely
as good friend of Mr.. Amer" ap-
preached Councilman Carlton and they
held Il brief whispered consultation.
Mr.. Carlton soon arose and made the
following motion:

be declared sufficient"
The Democratic members smiled n
broad smile. Chaff like that didn't 90.
1t wasn't Mr.. Amer's bond that they
were opposing. 1t was Mr.. Amer him

After the meeting, 4 number of An

wouldn't be bull-dozcd, trapped, nor

was too much. 1t was too much, and
despite the fact that there was not n
Democrat in the lobby who lifted his
voice in protest against the insult,
and that office-seekers worShipplng
at the shrine of "Czar Anderson" were
there to shout for his cause, the Dem
ocratic Councilmen stood as a rock
against the avalanche, and were not
crushed.
There were five Democratic Council
men present, and the five Republicans.

and Mr.. Amer, elected by Democrats,
had resigned at the last meeting. Sew

McMILLEN's GREAT SPEECH.

waxed warm, there was seen u famil-
lar figure rise to his feet. An instinc-
tive hush fell over the room. That
forensic warrior--one Of "Czar" An
derson's own-a member of the Old
Guard-wns about to talk, and the
Republicans were given new courage.
The man was City Commissioner Nc
Millen. He said:
eve appointed Democrat in the
place of Democrat. Whispered
shouts of Good boy.')
"While we are non-partisan Board
suppressed laughter in evidence
among the audience) we have endeav-
orcd 10 make our appointments with
equality of distribution among both
parties. (whispers Of "Oh! the nice
Board.')
'The members Of the Board do not
mix in politics and-(interrupted by
loud laughter, and applause, and a
42nd degree member of the Improved
Order of Annanias fainted)
'Thc Board has ever sought to make
it's appointments for merit and abil-
ity alone. (Silent shrieks Of "Long
live the Board)
"Ne appointed Mr.. Amer because
he possesses qualifications" that make
him valuable to the "Czar," finished
a citizen in u loud whisper)
At this juncture Mr.. McMillen took
a large and extensive tumble unto
himself and also to the fact that he
couldn't play ''horse" with the Demo-
cratic Councilmen, and sat down. 1t
became apparent to him at once that
the people had not forgotten the great
fight between McMillen and Crisp, re-
sultant of each accusing the other of
not working enough on election day,
and of their final reconciliation and de-
termination to throw BILLY" Mason
out on a ''technicality" when he de-
manded Of them promised pay for his
working against the election Of Mr..
Paul. l .ls.H.
Mr.. Fiebeger said: "Mr. McMillen,
why did you appoint Mr.. Amer when
you knew that the citizens of the
Fourth ward had signifed by their
votes that they didn't want him? Are
you sure, Mr.. McMillen, that politics
never entered into the deliberations
of the Board when the appointment was
made"
But Mr.. McMillen waived the "tech-
nicality" Of formal" answer.
Continuing, Mr.. Fiebeger said: "I'll
give my reason for not voting for Mr..
Amer: He was called upon to stand
by the citizens, Il little over a year
ago, in their fight against the awarding

Mr.. Carlton said. "Afr. Amer and
myself were on opposite sides during

do not want to condemn him"
"Mr. Carlton" inquired Mr. Fiebeg-
or, isn't 1t a fact that all officials who
used their influence against the in
terests Of the people have met with the
peoples disapproval, wherever it has
been possible to reach themT'
Possibly that's true" was Mr.. Carl
toms reply.
Mr.. Markle read from carefully
prepared manuscript, notes: eft seems
like very poor move to hold mp the
bond of Mr.. Amer. 1 think that it's
spite work more than anything else
have known Mr.. Amer for a year, and
believe him to be capable man. This
thing of running the Council half pol
itics should be discontinued. Let MS
stand UP to the courage of our con
victions, and deal squarcly in this mat
ter We canuot honestly turn Mr.
Amer down"
Judge Il. W. Stuart was present. He
declared that lie was there merely as
friend of Mr.. Amer, and felt called
on as citizen to talk in his behalf.
"On telephone matters" said the
Judge, myself and Mr.. Fiebeger stood
together. But, in this matter. the law
provides that the Board of City Com
missioners shall appoint the assessors
and that Council shall merely approve
the bonds of those appointed. The
only Office that Council has to perform
in this matter is to determine whether
the bonds presented are good, and if so
found, to approve them. The Com
missioners made the appointments in
good faith. Any objections to the ap-
pointments should he taken to the
Board, not to Council.
Mr.. Merz asked Clerk 1sbell to read
law section 6916. This section de-
clared it unlawful for an official of
a municipality TO enter into contract
with such municipality for the per-
formance of any work, and provides
punisIment for offenders.
Judge Stuart said; THAT section
has no application to this contract. This
work is Dot done for this city. 1t is
performed for the state and county.
The assessor Is a state, rather than a
city officer. l saw n statement in
party paper that this matter would be
handled along political lines, and l
hope that this Council will rise above
such principles and rebuke that paper"
Judge Stuart referred to-the Demo
crat.
Mr.. Paul replied: "'rhe only politics
in this matter was that introduced by
Judge Anderson into the action of the
Board of City Commissioners in its ap-
pointment of Mr.. Amer. The people
of the Fourth ward do not wan an as

price for betrayins his party To
prove that no partisanship is being dis
played by the Democratic Counclmen

honest and capable Republican If ne is

Solicitor Esgate was then called on
for his opinion relating to the legality
of Mr.. Amer's contracting with the
city. Mr.. Esgate apparently sought to
escape the necessity of expressing him
self in the matter. To a question asked

In some localities d sheep could be bought for half dollar The free coinage professors were ready with reason, says the Globe-DemOrat. They said sheep and wool were down, in sympathy with all other property, because the gold standard had appre- ciated to double the standard of the currency unit of measurement. Noth- ing but free coinage of silver, they con'ended, would save sheep, wool or anything else. The people of the United States thought the proposition over and concluded that bad money was not the remedy for bad times. They were eminently right.

PASQUoTANK COUNTY.
Letter from Elizabeth City: The
Democrats committed frauds In
this county as elsewhere in the
State. In several precincts Of the
county they had only Democratic
judges OF election. Having ap-
pointed such Republicans as they
knew could not serve, the vacan lies
created by their resignation were
filled On the day OF election by
Democrats, thus giving the latter
entire control OF the ballots and the
boxes. The bull pen system was
inaugurated here and carried out in
the most partisan and unscrupu-
lous manner. at these precincts
where there were no Republican
judges, the friends OF the illiterate
voters being excluded by the bull
pen, the poor fellows deposited
their ballots On the boxes or In the
wrong box, and they were thrown
out and not counted. The NAM
moth fraud Of the county was com
mitted at the 9th ward precinct
where about 400 Republicans regis
tered and only 67 Democrats. Two
hundred Of the former were pre-
vented from voting by delays in
challenging and other fraudulent
methods. Even after disfranchis.
ing 200 legally qualified and regis
tered voters Of our party, we ought
to have had a majority In said pre-.
cinct Of at least 100, yet the Demo
Gratis counted themselves in by "a
majority.
The mayor and entire police force
Of Elizabeth City, together with a
lot OF loafers and clerks from the
stores were concentrated at this
place for the sole purpose of in
timidating, bulldozing and disfran'
chising the Republicans who were
as much entitled to vote as any
citizen in the world.
