izing Democratic campaign clubs.
Mr.. Winston believes In organization,
and 1t Is his purpose to have a work
Ing club In each township in this State.
He yesterday issued the following ad-
dress to the Democrats of the State:
The State Organization of Demo-
cratic Clubs was organized in Raleigh
on September 28th. A permanent or
ganization was made by electing a
president, secretary, one Vice president
from each Congressional district, and
an executive committee or flve men,
bers.
Eleven delegates. one from each dis
trict and two representing the State at
large, were elected to represent the AS
ISOLATION at indianapolis at the the an
tional convention of clubs. Eleven al
ternate delegates were also elected
The organization, In its working
force. has representatives in all parts
Of the State. The object of the Asso-
citation is to assist In giving Bryan and
Stevenson the electoral vote of North
Carolina and to help elect nine Demo-
cratic Congressman from this state.
To this end all patriotic citizens are
cordially invited to cooperate.
The platform and principles OF the
Association are found in the platform
or the Democratic party promulgated
at Kansas City. The clubs have no
the Democratic conventions.
This Association Is organized for ef-
fective campaign work. The executive
committee or the Association directs
that an urgent appeal be made to the
various county and township executive
committees to proceed at once to or
ganize clubs in each township In the
State. The very large number OF
White Supremacy Clubs organized in
the late campaign can be easily organ
lied into party clubs. To this end, 1t
Is urged that the various county chair
men VIII at once proceed to appoint
suitable organizers In their counties,
who will enter actively In the work.
1t is recommended that the sub-elec-
tors of each county be appointed when
practicable. Most efficient aid can also
be md of the late club organizers.
The county chairmen are requested
to call meeting in each township in
their various counties on Saturday. the
18th day of October. for the purpose of
organizing Glib. It Is also Urged that
Mt each speaking by candidate or other
Democrats, club be formed. Do not
let an opportunity pass to organize.
These clubs are q part of the party
machinery. They are subject to the
party authority. The two main pur-
poses for which they are to be formed
are to distribute literature and to bring
out full vote. 1t is presumed that
the last campaign secured q fill regis
tration. AS soon as club is formed
send the name OF the officers to Hon.
f. M. Simmons, chairman, Raleigh, N.
G. Also send a list Of the officers to
Max Thomson, National Secretary.
New York City, N. Y.
Let each club appoint an active
committee to secure the attendance of
voters at the polls. A full vote will
give the Democratic party $4,000 ma
jority The issues involved are mo

free Institutions are endangered by @
colonial policy abroad and by aggrega-
ton of wealth at home. Let North
Carolina make a firm stand against
both.
"The State Association adopted as it's
emblem a button containing a picture
of the great tribune of the plain peo-
pie, William Jennings Bryan upnn q

ing words from his great speech of ac-
ceptahce, The Man rather than the

theory of government.

DEATH OF REV. JOHN H. BURT.
The Apex News notes the death OF
Rev. John II. Burt. a local preacher
of the Methodist Church, who lived
near Holly Springs. He was one of the
best men In Wake county-a faithful
minister of the gospel who, as the News
says, went without purse or script"
q successful farmer. staunch Demo-
cfat--h man who had the respect and
confidence of all who knew him. This
writer enjoyed his friendship and re-
grets to record his death. He lived
we'll and has gone to his reward.
RALEIGH COTTON MARKET.
ha Eol ttrt,
up to 10 cents again yesterday, on the
strength fadvances In Liverpool and
New York quotations.
Farmers are, as a rule, willing to sell
at 10 cents, but they are dissatisfied
with anything below that. They be-
heve their cotton is worth 1t, and that
1t must bring 10 cents or more before
new crop can be raised
For this reason the receipts on the
Raleigh market during the past week
have shown q decided falling off. in
stead of the increase that would nat;l-
rally have come with the progress OF
-the picking and ginning SEASON The
wisdom of the farmer in holding his
cotton will be realized later in the sea-
son when he will get ii and IL cents
for all the cotton he can put on the
market.
POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS.
That Raleigh is growing steadily and
Its business on the increase Is shown
by it's postoffice receipts.
For September, 1893, the receipts were
$4,000.

creased to $3,4S7.79.
