his friend ana counsellor, Mr.. Lindsay,
the trio who have been in the city since
Tuesday at noon, on what seems now
futile mission, are comfortably quartered
at Murphys and have that air about
them of having come to stay.
Yesterday was uneventful. so far as
could be learned. and though the young
lawyer made an early call at the home
Of Major Henry. and there had a :ro-
longed interview with Mrs. Fosters
mother in which he argued Well in be

The interview lasted about two hours.
and further than to let it be, known taaE
the young couple were as far from being
reconciled as at the close of thse, inter

MECKLENBURG POLITICS.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)


BoYDTON. VA, Oct. 24.-The Demo-
cratic parry OF Meciiienburg is working in
more harmony than for many months.
l.uriug the Subernatoriai contest a good
deal of partisan zeal was manifested
but happily dor the good OF the Demo
cratic party. that feeling has almost, If
not entirely, passed away, and good fell
lowship prevails between the Montague
and Swanson factions Of the county.
The eloquent speeches delivered here on
Monday by Messrs. Willard, w a. Jones
and Lassiter have had the effect Of warm
ing up The people. The white people are
solid here as far as l have been able TO
learn. for the Democratic ticket, and on
the other hand it is conceded that the
entire colored vote will be cast Tor the
Republican candidates. The fear of dis
franchiscnent has had the effect of stir
ring up the negroes, and il has been
worked by the speakers OF The Republican
party for all it was worth. The Repuoli
can party is well organized IL -Mecilen-
burg.
TIE two parties here are pretty evenly
divided as to numbers, With perhaps
Sigh, advantage in favor OF the Repub-
licans, and the Democrats viii have no
cay job in clecting their ticket. Until
recently the Republicans haze had sew
erai hundred majority, but large numbers
of negroes have gone north in the last
few years which has iessened the
strength of the Republicans very I:lateri-
ally.
Mr. W A. Jameson, the Republican
county chairman Of 7Meclzlenburg, holds
the purse strings TO the campaign fund
of Virginia by reason Of being the treas
urer of that fund He Informed me yes
tcrday that none of the money contribu-
ted by the Republican office-holders OF
the State would be used in AIecl<enburs.
This tremendous source by which the
Golfers of the Republican campaign fInd
are filled should stir the voters through
out the State TO the importance of un-
ccasing activity and work. for with such
a fund as this q telling effect will be pro-
duced upon the general result OF the cleo
tons. if no counter movement on the
part OF the Democrats is made. The mat
ter is a serious one to the people, for it
IS plain that no stone will be left UNI
turned by the Republicans to get control
OF the machinery of the State.

%, ,43O Tons of Freight.

According to statistics completed by Capt. J. W. Blundon, who has applied to the city council for a wharf fran chise, 69.430 tons of freight were landed in Nome up to August l3, this year. The-e are large figures, ,ebut they are doubtless correct. and there is yet a large quantity of freight which will reach Nome before the close of navisa- ton.
 Cart. BlundOn has made a survey of the shore for d considerable distance out toward deep water. and he says it is entirely practicable to build a wharf that will enable deep sea vessels to dis charge their cargoes with celerity, at a cost one-third less than that at present entailed. The wharf, if built, will be about l.S00 feet in length.

A Place for Bargains.

There is a big sale on up at the stores and warehouses formerly owned by the Alaska and Chicago Commercial Company. on both sides of the pOstoftice. There are two big warehouses filled with merchandise of various kinds and it is selling fast. because the prices have been cut so low. and for the past week there has been d steady stream of buyers.
 But there's lots of goods left-two warehouses consisting of groceries, boots, shoes. gents furnishings, cloth ing, hardware. etc.. etc. These goods are tirst-clasS. and just now is the time for you to inspect them and lay in your winter outfit, when you can get it at prices which have not or cannot be equalcd in Nome.
 This sale will continue until all the goods are sold at the Chicago and Alaska Commercial Company's old stand, next to the p0stOffice. It will cast you nothing to investigate for yourself, for we are convinced that when you examine the slaughtered prices that are being made, you will find it to your interest to purchase what you may need for fall or winter

MINING NOTES.

A great deal of work is being done on discovery claim and Nos. l and Glacier creek, improved machinery be- ing in use CD these claims.
 The beach strike six miles above Teller simmered down to an alleged strike on creek 20 miles back from Bering sea and about half way between Teller and York.
 Manager c. W. Price, of the Wild Goose Company, has d new pocket piece. IL is nugget weighing ll0 ounces and is scanned with beautiful rose~colored quartz, the gold being of a rich yellow hue. The nugget was !ound the other day on discovery claim on Glacier.
 Judge J H. Tam, who came down from Kusatriem district, this week, says that . all the claims on Boulder creek from No. to No. 20 above are promising. , Tom Utgard on No. 9 is taking out good , money, and many other claims are be- Ah6 OpShSo ug CHlShSlNCls. Hc SOlu found in these claims is uniformly coarse, and fairly large nuggets have : been found.
 F. B. Porter, late commissioner and rscorder for Mt. Kelly district, awho al- rived in Nome from Point Hope this week. says that no strike whatever has been made in section. Reports to the Contrary are mere fabrications. Dr. Driggs, who has been stationed at Point Hope for the past twelve years, says that in all that time he has not seen a. .color of gold which was found north and west of the Noatak.
