The denomination of Congressman
Heatwole, of Mortified, again in
sures the Republicans of the Third
district a successful congressional
campaign. Mr.. Heatwole is deserv-
edly popular with his people. His
good Judgment leads him to take the
right side of all questions of national
import, and while loyal Republican,
he never allows his partisanship to
warp his views of right and justice.
1t can be truly said of Mr. Heatwole
that he is a representative of all his
people and not of any faction. 1t
will make little difference who the op-
position put up against him, Mr.. Heat
wole is destined to be elected by a
greater majority this year than ever
before Like the Second district, Third
district people know good thing
when they have it, and are considerable
enough of their own interests to hold
fast thereto.

A SUPERB FIGHT.

The convention is over, the Repub-
lican ticket is named, and in few
days the campaign will be on in ear
nest.
The Free Press accepts the result
with good grace, but it cannot refrain,
now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away, from paying deserved
tribute to the faithful and thoroughly
competent official who went down
temporarily in the convention.
Mr.. Gunders has served the people
of the county as auditor for six years,
and no man can truthfully bring to
his door a dishonest or uncourtly act
during that time. His candidacy fo1
denomination brought forward the
greatest political combination in this
city that was ever pitted against an
individual in the local history of ou1
politics. On the one side was arrayed
every politician of note in the city,
with an army of workers that would
have discouraged anyone with less
force of character than Mr.. Gunders.
Alongside with this army stood nearly
every candidate for the other Offices
where contest was on. and despite
all this Mr.. Gnnders stood like a bull
wark with the country delegates. Even
on the final ballot, he went down with
more than majority of delegates out
side the city standing with him, and
surrendering only from the over
whelming numbers of the city dele

THEY PLEAD FOR NEGRO VOTES

THEY PLEAD FOR NEGRO VOTES.
The attempt for Byanism to get the
colored vote in several of the northern
states where it will cut some little
figure, will probably not work. While
Bishop Turner will support Bryan,
he will not be followed by any of his
leading associates, into the Bryan
camp. At recent conference of the
A. M. E. church, at Grand Rapids,
Mich. resolutions were adopted APP
proving President McKinley's course
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, and also declaring belief that he
would do what he could, and would
favor any remedy that could be put
forth to prevent negro lynchings in the
south. Some of the leading colored
men think this is the position of the
colored people generally, and that
there is no general dissatisfaction with
President Mckinley as to his bearing
or policy so far as it effects the negro
race. But this does not effect the
efforts which the Bryan leaders ire
putting forth to capture this vote.
Chairman Jones and ex-Gov. Stone, of
Missouri, had conference with some
twenty-five leading colored men, in
Chicago, and made them all sorts of
promises. A leading colored minister,
Rev. A. j. Carey. of Chicago, says
that the colored men present were in
vited by both Jones and Stone to be-
come Bryan advocates. They pleaded
long with them for their support, and
thought much more of them than they
do of the $4,000 disfranchised negro
voters in North Carolina and also
those of other southern states. But
then they do not need their votes
down there, for by peculiar tactics
they can control those states. But in
Illinois, Indiana, and some other
northern states, it is different. The
elections are free and the merge vote
cannot be influenced by red shirt or
CARNATIONS. In this conference, Jones
stated that if Bryan was elected he
would send troops to the south, to
protect the negroes from lynching.
OF course Mr.. Bryan would do nothing
of the kind, because this would be a
species of militarism and Mr.. Bryan
says he is opposed to that.
They also said that sometime before
the campaign closes, Bryan will make
speech in which he will announce
himself opposed to the North Carolina
plan of DISTINGUISHING negroes. But
why does he not do so now2 The
statement illustrates the demagogism
of Bryan. If Roadway sufficient to
warrant it can be made in the colored
vote of several northern states Bryan
will come out against disfranchise-
ment, and word will be passed along
the line through the south that it
means nothing and is not intended to.
Jones and Stone both told the colored
representatives to make any promises
to the colored people that may seem
right, land if Bryan is elected we
will make the promises good at Wash
ington. OF course if the scheme of
this precious pair would work, they
would have the votes first, and could
take their time to make good the pro-

The Acknowledgement Of the negroes,
will mean that that section will get 80
representatives for votes that they do
not allow to be cast. Here is the TAX
ing away the consent of the governed,
but at the same time the representa-
tives which have been accorded them
are selected by an oEgarchy. This is
worse than what Mr.. Bryan charges
against the administration as to Porto
Rico. Yet it has brought forth no
protest from Mr. Bryan, who is very
solicitious for the rights and welfare
of the brown man in the Philippines
Does he hold that the black man at
home is less deserving?
Mr.. Bryan says the Republicans
have given us an So per cent citizen
in Porto Rico. Well that is So per
cent better than the Bryanites are &C
cording to rs, 900 voters in North
Carolina.

RAILROAD RATES AND POLITICS.

Swenska Folkets Tidning, of Min
neapolis, in discussing the move of the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission and its proposed move on the
reduction of railroad rates, thinks that
a nice consideration of the effect it
would have on the approaching cleo
ton was the principal cause of the
move at this time. OF this there is no
doubt. 1t is a desperate play by Gov.
Lind in an attempt to win votes for
his own election rather than any good
that may come to the public. But it
is not likely it win win. The people

While Russia has agreed to join
with the United States in securing
peace in China, yet the Washington
authorities do not seem to be wholly
satisfied with the course she would
pursue Russia has announced that
she would withdraw her troops from
Peking and of course expects other
nations will follow suit, holding that
various nations will each take their
own way of pro tecting their interests
there. This of course would give
Russia the advantage in looking after
her interests. This is not what the
United States intended, but that all
should be treated alike and united
move made for the restoration of peace
in China, and the establishment of a
government there capable of protect
ing all interests and guaranteeing

Commenting upon the converting of
the Kentucky Legislature for the pur-
pose of amending the Goebel law, the
Winona Republican remarks that the
Goebel law is not responsible for the
present state of affairs existing in that
state. The returning board created
by that law returned majority for
Taylor, but the Democratic Legislature
put itself above the law and honesty
and set aside the boards returns in
the matter, and the trouble followed
as natural consequence. If the peo-
pie wish to reform affairs down there
they should elect Republican legis-
lature.

WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

The Republican county convention
yesterday furnished additional evil
dence that the party is fully alive this
year, and not possessed of that
"apathy' to which attention has been
directed in so many parts of the coun-
try, and the fear of continuance of
which is causing Republican leaders
some alarm. OF the hundred and
sixty-two delegates in the convention
one hundred and ten came from out
side the city, and the great preponder-
ance of these were farmers. There
were no vacancies on any of the dele
cations and ON every ballot the full
strength of the convention was cast
something almost unprecedented. 1t is
good omen. 1t presages success at
the polls in November, and means the
bringing out of the largest Republi-
can vote in the history of the county
The ticket nominated, will prove a
strong one with the voters 1t pos
sesses sufficient new blood to warrant
an enthusiastic campaign. The legis-
lative ticket, being well distributed
and made up of representative men
will prove sure winner. The farm
ing interests are especially well looked
after in the selection of Mr.. Nyquist
and Mr. Norman, both of whom are ac-
tive and prosperous farmers, and Mr..
Wilder, as business man is thor
oughly equipped and in every way
qualified to prove a valuable legislator
on commercial matters, as well as on
all matters that effect the welfare of
the people.
The denomination of Bangerter for
register of deeds, Thorne for clerk of
court, Hughes for judge of probate,
Gerlach for sheriff, Freeman for
superintendent of schools Brooks for
surveyor and Kennedy for coroner was
in line with the undivided wishes of
the Republicans throughout the coun-
ty and they are all deserving, COM
potent and popular o1nclals.
The nomination of Mr. Lewis Davis
for treasurer places young man on
the ticket whose popularity was most
emphatically expressed by the strength
he developed in the convention on the
first ballot He will bring to the sup
port of the ticket a large number OF
young men whose activity in Che cam.

HAVEN & SHOUTS COTTON LETTER

Especial to News and Observer
New York. juno f6.-The Government
report on crop conditions on June LIST
was n confirmation of the previous esti-
mates regarding the extent to which the
area planted has been increased over
that OF st year. ON the other hand,
II also showed a considerable reduction
in the relative condition Of the CROP from
that which existed at the same period
IN 1893 and preceding years. In Texas,
which. as the largest cotton-producing
state is q factor OF primary Importance,
tie situation is stated to be the most
unfavCrable at the beginning of a crop
for any time in the past twenty years.
The principal drawback. Of course. is that
tho crop is late by from one TO three
weeks. and for some days past there have
been further reports Of rains and bad
weather in the cotton belt 50 that COM
parativclv little Progress has been made
since the Government report was compile
ted.
The result has been n firm and some
what higher. although not active cotton
market. Prices for both old and new
crop options advanced in unison, and
tho conditions that have developed nave
naturally made the large Outstanding
short interest in the fall ana winter
months nervous, and thereby induced
considerable covering Of such contracts.
At the advance n great deal of realizlnS
has occurred by speculative holders, VINO
purchased cotton on the recent break.
There has been some further evidence
Of manipulation in the nearby months by
large interests, but present crop coAdl-
tions DO not seem to lend themselves 20
the anticipated effort OF such operators
to break the price of August cotton.
The foreign markets have been Sta .
this week, and spots are firm, although
no very active demand has appeared.
There is, perhaps. some exaggcration
about the extent OF the speculative short
interest in cotton, but it seems to be
sufficiently large TO create n feeling in
the trade that prices could be easily
put up. In view, however, of the fact
that the bad ncws about crop conditions
is out and that the market has had q
/ substantial rally, it would seem that the
way is open for 4 renewed decline in
new crop deliveries should weather con-
ditious improve materially.

on the common stock. This was accepted
as a Well considered and well informed
decision from conservative authorities
that a serious shortage in the whea crop
in the Northwest was to be faced this
year and that Il period of declining rail
read earnings were to be expected as a
result of this and the reaction in general
business. The effect was pronounced on
the stocks of grain-carrying roads, eS-
peclally in the Northwest and the rather
numerous group of stocks which have
risen in price on score Of good earnings
and hopes of liberal dividend disburse-
ments. The policy of extreme conservat-
ism in dividend disbursements adopted
by the Northern Pacific it was taken
for granted would have an influence on
other railroad directors. The report of
2 strike of employees of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company weakened that
stock and other steel stocks by sym
pathy. This might be called the first
phase of the short Saturday session. By
the end of the first hour. what with
the demand from shorts to cover and sup
porting orders by the friends of different
stocks, the decline had been arrested
and the pressure of liquidation relaxed
