Judge Whitecotton presided at the
meeting and introduced Mr.. Harris as
the first speaker.
He said that he warmly and earnest

founder of Democracy and he declared
that the people could be trusted with

upon the same ground today. Mr..
Harris contrasted the money planks
adopted in the st. Louis and Chicago
platforms, saying the same expressions
were virtually found today in the two
platforms in Utah. Without caring to

He congratulated Mckinley and his
administration and the farmer upon his

MIR. M'KENNY'S STATEMENT.
Mi. w. r. McKcnny, of this city,
counsel for the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way, gave this afternoon the following
statement In reference to the LITIGATION
now pending in the Hastings Court OF
this city between the RauEsgh and Gas
ton railroad and the Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad on the one side and
the James p. Mcdonald Company on
the other.
The Mcdonald Company recently filed
a bill and sued out attachments in
equity against the Raleigh and CASTOR
and Seaboard and Roanoke railroads,
claiming the sum of S394, 1000. The at
tachments against these two companies
were based solely upon an affidavit of
the non-residence of the Raleigh and
CASTOR railroad, while the papers In the
suit showed that the Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad was q Virginia cor
poration.
How these could be legal ground for
an attempt to embarrass by an attach
ment a Virginia corporation simply be-
cause the Raleigh and Castor was q
nonresident corporation. am at a
loss to know. Suffice 1t to say. that the
attachment was served on some twenty
or thirty corporations and firms in the
attempt to tie up funds belonging to
the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad.
In McDonald's suit the claims of sub
contractors. the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and others, aggregating $685.
600. were set forth as n part of the
1000. Mcdonald claimed. Without a
single exception these sub-contractors
have utterly repudiatcd the suit, and
stated that 1t was brought without
their knowledge, approval or consent,
and that they had no sympathy with
any of its purposes or objects. Forty
thousand dollars of the balance of the
$4,000 was for q payroll not due at
the time the suit was brought and
thirty odd thousand more was for esti-
mated damages; so that boiled down,
the whole suit was based upon allcEa-
tons which cannot be proven and on
claims which have no real foundation
In law or in fact. The suit will be
fought to a finish, and the public will
then see how little of real merit it has
and how 1t could have had but one
OBJECT, to delay and embarras the con-
summation of a great industrial enter
prise conceived by Southern brains,
persisted In by Southern pluck and now
successfully accomplished by as brainy
and courageous n Virginian as the last
twenty years have produced To-day

ings Court of this city suit in the name

unlawful levying OF the attachment
above mentioned.
II am sure that I am right and I

Neither club has had practice and the
large number of runs is thus accounted
for. Messrs. Mark Barrett and r. N.
