As gentle as a woman, with a face which the word benign fits, and a natureas nearly free from sin as it is possible for human natures to be, was Fifth the church he won the hearts of all--old and young, rich and poor alike.

Many who opposed him before are his warmest supporters today, and unless all signs fail the -onditions of 1892 will be repeated, ed. we are told by the Washington Post that “leading Democrats” are “seriously questioning the advisa- litv of the nomination of Mr. Bry an. This began with wholesale criticisms of the Nebraska platform, continued by sending out through a literary bureau the doubts” of this and that nameless ‘prominent Dem- ocrat,” and now it is to be pressed by ‘‘seriously questioning the advi- sability of the nomination of Mr. Bryan.” ‘Those Bemocrats, if there are any. who really desire party suc- who doubt “the advisability of Cess Mtr. Bryan's nomination,”’ are not talking for the press. They have bowed to the will of the overwhelm- ing majority, and wiil do all they can to elect the candidate of their party. These publicly espressed “doubts’’ are inspired by those who do not wish the Democrats to suc ceed. and who are dismayed now that they see the tidal wave of favor upon which the Democratic party is to be swept into power. They wish to keep back the waves. The Post woes onto tellus that a conference of Democrats opposed to Mr. Brvan's nomination will be held, and that while ‘nothing less than a miracle in politics will be able to check” the nomination of the Ne braskan, the “‘movement wiil be confined toan effort to secure the adoption at iNansas City of a plat- form that shall be devoid of Popu- lism, and shall be framed as far as possible, along the lines of Demo- cratic platforms in the past,’ which means. ifit means anything, that these men wishanother 15802 strad- die. There isno danger that the Kansas City convention will have jany Populism in its platform, va- liess the income tax and the free coinage of silver—time honored Democratic policies—are Populistic. it is to eliminate these two demands of the people, which are falsely called Populistic. that these men are getting ready to move on the Kansas City convention. These men do not speak for the Democra- cy of New York, Maryland, or any State which has such leaders as Croker und Gorman. They repre- sent the few who are seeking fer an excuse to vote the Republican tick- et again. They will make a great boise urging a platform they know is not Democratic. and when they jail, these men will refuse to suppoct the ticket because, as they will un- trathfully declare. “itis Populistie.”’ And then, like Bill Bynum, thev will be gathered straightway into Han- na’s bosom and be rewarded with ofiices or dollars. The Post interviews a number cf Democrats in regard to the ‘‘move- ment.’ The two best answers were these: Senator Jones: “It is the veriest nonsense to talk about either defeating Bryan for the nomination or tociaim that any- one else would be stronger before the people. He will poll more votes next fall than he did in 1896, and, in my judgement, will be elected.’’ Senator Blackburn: “T know very well that our Re- publican friends are all busily en- gaged in trying to convince us that our Chances of winning are good with anybody except Mr. Bryan. I think | know the motive that prompts this disinterested advice, and Lam equally positive that Bry- an at the head of our ticket, will poll a million mere votes than any other man unburied. His nomina- tion is accepted by everyone, and in as much an accomplished fact now as it will beafter the 4th of next July. Theonly thing that surprises me is that I tind Tht Post lining up with the Republican leaders in the effort to persuade us that we are about to make a wistake,”’ Senator Blackburn is right. Bry- an “can poll a million more yotes than any otherman unburied,’ but if the men who want to write the platform “‘along the lines of the Democratic platforms of the past,”’ meaning the miserable makeshift of Isd2, were to have their way, Mr. Bryan would be shorn of his power. The moral of this to North Caroli na Democrats: lect twenty two true biue Bryan Democrats, who are known to be such, as delegates to the National convention, men who believe in the declarations in the Chicago platform, men who are tor the Republic against the Em pire, men who are vigorous Oppo- nents of trusts, men who own their who will use their infiuence to adopt a platform that will meet the issues of the eam- paign as presented by Mr. Bryan in his Raleigh speech, and will co-op t the ticket. <P The Crying Evi!.

It may be that Mr. Gorman is not aDBryanman. His eastern connec- character as would naturally lead him to belieye in pretty much every- thing that Clevelandism stood for: aud yet he has always supported matter what objection he might have to certain declarations of the platform, anything would be better than Republican ryle. Thousands of Democrats felt and feel the same way; and this fecling is today well- nigh unanimous among those gold Democrats who protested against the Chicago platform in 1896. Some of them refused to vote for the Demccratic candidates, and in this way gave substantial aid and com- fort to the Hanna crowd. Now that the Republican party is making its real purposes known, aud is demonstrating that it cares nothing whatever for the wil! of the people, itis te tG presumed that tbere is not an honest. patriotic Democrat in the country but re- srets the part he took in any pec- formaace caiculated to benefit the party bow in power. Weadvise.Mr. Gorman to frive his fool friends a sharp lecture, They are giving him a repuiation throuzhout the country which, how ever undeserved, is calculated to destroy bis usefulness in the larger Demecratic fieid outside of Mary- land. There are no doubt rhany men whe would like to see Mr. Bry- an defeated for the nomination; but the Democratic masses support bim solidly, and it can be said now that there will not be an anti-Bryan del- eation jin the Kansas City conven- tion from any State in the Union. The party organization in the east- ern States is controlled by men who supported the Chicago platform and cindidates, and they are unanimous in favor of Mr. Bryan. Uncie Beriah Wilkins says Mr. Bryan can’t be elected. We do not agree with Unelg Beriah.

SS Negro Attempts to Assault a White Woman Near Durham. dee Special to Raleigh News and Observer, oth, Yesterday morning about 11 o'clock an unknown negro went to the home of Mr. W. E. Copley, who resid:s about seven miles from Dur- ham, near Cole’s mill and demanded something toeat. Mrs. Copley re- fused to give him anything, which enraged him so that he jumped at her and grabbed her about the throat. She tore herself loose from the negro’s grasp, and ran fora pis- tol. This frightened her assailant and he at once left. After vetting out in the yard he shot a dog, Mr. Copley, who was working not far otf, got bis gun and set out to follow the negro. He ran up on bim uear Five Points, in this city, and spoke tohim The two came on along the street together until they yot to the Public Library, when the negro ran down Green street. fol The Republican House of Repre- sentatives today practically gave an endorsement of the North Caro- lina amendment.

Tolbert, who was ex- pelied from Greenwood county, af- ter parrowly escaping severe hand- ling, and whose brother is contest- ing the seat of Congressman Lati- mer in the third district, narrowly escaped falling into the hands of a mob last night. Mrs. Tolbert is postmaster at McCormick, Green- wood county, a few miles from Pen- nix, and her husband arrived there yesterday. Last spring Tolbert made overtures to the people of Greenwood, and on certain promis- es made to a newspaper man as to abstaining from politics, he was permitted to quietly return to that town. Subsequently he pushed his contest in Washington and denied the conciliatory statement attribut- ed tohim. He was thereupon again warned not to return toGreen wood. At midnight a band of masked men weut to the house Tolbert was in. A Democrat, prominent in the town, hearing of the contemplated action, and being opposed to vio- lence, sent a warning a few minutes $7,000 worth of leaf in the same building, which wasinsured for 35- oOO. $2,- Captain Riggins hadonly $2, ‘#6 on his factory and 35,560 on '.- stock of leaf.

It is stated that Col. W.C. P. Breckin- vidge and Republican leaders from ditferent parts of the State, will meet Governor Taylor in conference here tomorrow morning. Ex-Gov- ernor Bradley said: “We will not take advantage of any technicalities to delay the prog- ress of the case. The decision of the Court of Appeals is not dis- heartening tous. We will ask for awrit of error to the Supreme Court at once, and these contests will pow beat an end in a very short time.”’ The Taylor soldiers seemed to ap- prehend no disturbance resulting from the decision of the Court of Appeals, and there was the usual quiet and strict military order which has been observed since the coutest has been before the courts. Gover nor Bradiey, chief of counsel] for Governor Taylor, is not expected now to make his motion for a writ of error before the Court of Ap- peals, but to go before the Supreme Court andask that they take up the case as soon as the writ can be pre- pared. There is much betier feel- ing and less bitter partisanship since the action of the two Republican judges with the Democrats. Tay- Jor will remain in oftice with the suldiers on guard until the Supreme Court bas acted. There is little or no prospect of a clash. In his confession Youtsey Says that certain prominent Republican leaders would not trust the negroes. Combs and Hockersmith, with the work, and when another was engav- ed he refused to do the shooting un- til the money was paid. The de- taand was made just before ihe shouting, while in the executive building. The cash installment is said to have been $1,600, Youtsey went out of the room.vot the money and turned it over to the proper persons. He knows who was in the room, but it is said he claims either to have left the room or to have turned kis back when the shots were Bred. Further in his statement Culton says former Governor W. O. Bra1- ley came to him after the talk with Youtsey ani said’ “I understand there is a plot to kill Goebel. This must not be done, and you must see that a stop is put to it. Such athing would ruin the Repub lican party in Kentueky.”’ Culton says he told Bradley what Youtsey had said. Culton went to Youtsey and repeated Mr. Bradley's statement. ‘*We've yiven up the plan,” said Youtsey in reply. Goebel was killed with a rifle owned by Mr. Grant Roberts. a brother of Mr. Sam Roberts, collec- tor of internal revenue at Lexing- ton. Mr. Roberts. however is en- tirely innocent of any connection with the conspiracy,and it was with- out his knowledge that his rifle was being used. It was a 38-calibre Marlin, and one of the truest and best ever made. Youtsey had raflled it and it fell into the possession of Mr. Roberts, who placed it in the vault in the auditor's office. Seve- ral days before the assassination it disappeared from the vault. Mr. Roberts was angry about its re- moval and made an effort to find out who had taken it. _— — = Assassination of Goy. Goebel Ex- plained. Telegrams from Louisville, Ky. .cf the 6th inst. say: “It is reported today that Yout- sey, the prigate secretary of Caleb Powers, Secretary of State under Taylor, has confessed he paid Jim Howard to kill Goebel. He says the plot was hatched in the office of Secretary of State Powers. Six- teen hundred dollars was paid over to the assassin If he was caught it was agreed that Governor Taylor was to pardon Howard. “Youtsey asserts that he was one of eight men who knew of the conspiracy that was carried out in Powers’ office. The men implicat- ad are: Taylor, Powers, John L. Powers, Charles Finley, W. H. Gul- lon, Jim Howard, probably Henry Howard, one other man and Youtsey himself.

A strong wind carried the flames to the Second Presbyterian church, on the opposite side of Thirteenth and Central streets, andin 40 min- utes that structure, occupying a half block in length, was in ruins. The barsonage adjoining, and next the Lathrop school, which was partialiy destroyed in the cyclone of IsSs, and which had been set aside for the use of the newspaper correspondents during the coming convention, were attacked simultaneously, and soon nothing but their walls were left standing. Fortunately the schoo} children had not returned to thei= rooms after the noon hour. and al] were taken to places of safety. Next theflames caught the Williamson brick flats, across the alley from the hall on the north on Twelfth street, and these were gutted. The flats occupied a half block and were three stories in height. Flying embers started blazes on a Gozen different residences within a radius of two blocks and, fanned by a stiff breeze and aided by a low water pressure, threatened a gcneral conflagration. Convention Hall has been classed as one of the largest and most per- fectly constructed auditoriums in the world.

There was so much dumped at once that the pipes could not carry it off and asa result a@ vreat part of the stwiY was forced through other pipes and finally drifted into the cistern from which the drinking water was drawn. At first the cistern water had on- lv a faint trace of liquor, later, how ever, every cooler in the building was ‘‘spiked.”’ The officials refused todrink. The water vastested and the liquor was in evidence so strongly that the negroes from the water front got in droves and _ beg- ved for a taste. The water from the custom house cistern is used at the Clyde Steamship Company’s office and the clerks mixed cocktails today.

The English seem to be striking it rather bard in their contest with the Boers just now. The winter of that climate is now closing in on them and the Boers, who are not af- fected by the climatic changes as their inglish enemies, are develop- ing an energy that is spoken of by the English as “amazing ’’ The English commanders haye adopted a system of censorship over the news given outfrom the seat of action that must lead the outside world to believe that they are afraid for the truth to be known. YVhe informa tion we get therefore is just such as they have colored to suit themselves. We give the following dispatches as reported: London, April 7.—Only seventeen of nearly six hundred British troops attacked at Reddersburg escaped. The War Office has received the fol- lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts: “Bloemfontein, April 6.—Our cas- ualties at Reddersburg April 3 and +, as reported by a doctor who has returned to Bethany with the wounded, were—officers, 2 killed and 2 dangerously wounded; men, § killed, 33 wounded, 521 captured. Kight officers were captured. The enemy is said to have numbered 3,200and to have had five guns. Our force consisted of 167 mounted menand {24 infantry.”’ The situation in South Atriea is far from reassuring, and the feeling here is one of intense anxiety. Gen- eral Catacre, sent out by General Roberts to recapture nearly six hundred prisoners now with the Boers, not only reports that he has been able to find no trace of the missing, but that the enemy has re- taken and now occupies Redders- burg. His latest dispatch says he bas engaged a large force of Boers, His silence then is interpreted as another repulse. loemfontein is not cut off,as was thought Friday night to be the ease, but the dispatches from the Free State capital seem to indicate that commanication will cease soon un- less there isan early movement in foree by Lord Roberts. Though no further heavy loss has Neen reported, small skirmishes have resulted almost invariably in the Boers’ favor, especially near Springteld and Rouxville. It seems Clear that the Free Staters in ail directions are rejoining their coimmancos, being encouraged by success und also in part coerced by theeats of the commandants. Roberts apparently remains par- alyzed ard his difficulties are ire creasing daily in getting supplies and much needed horses through from the south. The effect of last week's events is already noticeable, for the continental press is induly- ing in scathing criticism of British sveneralship, Evenhere Lord Rob- ertsis not escaping entirely. Atiwal North, April 10.—The Boers attacked Brabant and his force of two or three thousand col}- cnials ia a fierce fight that lasted all day yesterday. The losses on both sides were heavy. Fighting was resumed today. Three Boer com- manders are attucking the town. The result is unknown. The Beers used a Vickers Maxim and at first did considerable execu- sion. The British guns soon got the range and caused great havoc. Boer commanders are hurrying from ali sides to participate in the at- tack. Loudon, April 11.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Brandfort dat- ed Sunday says: “Yesterday General Dewet inflict- ed the tiird defeat on the British within a week at Meerkatsfontein, killing and wounding 600 men.

This community has bad mail facilities, it being 33 or 4 miles tothe nearest office. The peo- ple would take more papers if they could get their mail without going 3or4 miles.

The Mouse Passes an Amendment to the Federal Constituiion Provid- ing forthe Election of U.S. Senators by Direct Vote | of the People 23 Friday the House by a vote of 250 to 15 passed a resolution snbmitting tothe several States an amendment to theFederal constitution providing for the election of U. S. Senators by the people. During the debate on the bill Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz, of this district, spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker, Jam glad that we have crough of the constitution left for purposes of amendment :and as we | the remains of oid » kept that o% instrument so resolutely at Lome, it amen us resolute fr HOGvEes US tO toe best interests of our home Tam an old fashioned be- uti While it ne law of the land, ynuld be obeyed and those of us have sworn to observe it should -cureful in ail things te conform both to its letter and irit Un ely, both have been vriev- fortunat ly violated in the election of Sen- ators of the United States, and the when » bes lovg since its 1 thi come behalf have dem hown the need of amend- pi use.)

There are imany hovorable men in the Senate, therefore [shall make no applica- tion ot the story of the old darkey preacher. who, before beginning bis setinon, raised a large with the startling announcemen “Tharis an OWers quote lan- oy uy rock aloft tb, : igger in this congreg:- tion what's been stealine chickens last night, and I’m ewine to this rock at his head.’ when every mule head before him at once duck- ed beuind a bench. (Laughter and applause) 1 will not sav that a somewhat similar announcement ya- ried only to suit the environment, would be followed by similar action in the Senate. Mr. Speaker, in supporting this proposition [am not merely giving expression to my individual views, but I am speaking for the whole people of North Carolina, as 1 be lieve, without regard to party. I am but obeying a resolution of in- structions from the legislature of my State, which was passed unani- mously, as I recoilect, without par- ty distinction or division. and I 2m but trying to give effect to one of the planks of the Democratic plat- form of my State. Neither of the propositions before the House is exactly what I could wish, but lam so keartily in favor of the general proposition that 1 shall heartily support the substitute otlered on behalf of the minority by the distinguished gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Rucker), amended to accord with the suggestions of the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Powers). Iam reminded of the homely wis- dom of a young fellow in my dis- heave laud itis wererally wise to do the |; best we cap uncer any eiven circum- | stances. tease | Acting upon this principle, I shail | support the substitute of the minor- lity. amended to meet the views of | wentlemen, amended in any and ev- lery minor detail, so only that it maintains and holds out to the A- merican people a genuine, genera and feasible plan of electing Sena- tors by a direct vote without inter- mediary, Ihave hope, sir, that. the quickened conscience of the Senate ill join usin submitting such an amendment to the constitution. and if submitted to the legislatures of the several States its adoption is as certain as the rising of the morrow’s sun. (Applause). oe - Ratification to Follow. »ews and Observer | | | | | | | | | | } teigh tinuous session of near- ve o'clock irsday After econ ly t nee wenty hours —from twel ym on Wednesday to Et jimerning at nine o’clock—the gavel fe}l yesterday morning upon the est political convertion ever |beld by any party in North Carolina. | The attendance was unparalleled; the composition of the ticket is as nearly perfect as patriotic buman heart ld make it, and iearts and heads cou the declaration of principles in the platform is in aceord with the true sentiment of the great Democratic ity inthe Republic and in the ate. Of course the par Pe st at nount question now in Nerth Carolina is the adop tion ef the Constitutional Amend- meat and a declaration in its favor comes as a fitting close to the par- ty’s declaration of principles. In State matters the platform pledges the Democratic party “to increase the school fund so as to make at least a four months term in every district in the State’’—a wedge that will be faithfully kept, o the end that by 1908 there may no illiteracy among the white ildren of North Carolina. That is a natural corrollary of the declara- tion in favor of the amendment. The platform also rings true and clear upon those matters that are now brought tothe front bv the ae- tion of the railroads in invoking aid of Federal courts toannul a just as- sessment of corperate preperty for taxes. The Craig Act is specitically approved, the administration of the Corporation Commission, in secur- ipg@ fairer rates and in making the railroad property bear its fair pro- scenGo!} t t t oe portion of the burdens of taxation, isendorsed. The pass evil is con- demned. legislation to suppress trosts is promised, asystem of le- calized primaries is favored, and the care ‘‘of the needy insane of the State” is guaranteed. In ¢ rd the Democratic plat- matters Good rth Carolina te Supremacy. form on stands for V Government, just Regulation of Corporations aud the Rule of the People. Upon National matters there is no wavering or shadow of turning from the Chicago platform of 1596. And the ‘xct that in the convention every reference to Wm. Jennings Bryan wasenthusiasticallv applaud- ed shows that the great Nebraskan is nearer to the hearts of the pecple of North Carolina than ever before. Fayoring a vovernment of the people, by the people and for the 4 party in its platform declaresin favor of the election of United States Senators by the peo- ple and demands the enactment of he next General Assembly providing for the holding of prima- ry elections. The State Executive ninittee is instructed “to make provision forthe holding of a pri- tnary onthe tirsc Tuesday of next November for the selection of a United States Senator by the Dem- ocratic voters of the State. at which every e who has the Democ i¢ ticket in the State clec entitled to cast one man for United States t ‘i people, Lie laws byt lector voted At + } ’ tion shall be vote for one Senator.’ While this specific plan may not be approved by ail, it insures the holding of primaries for United Senator next November. This isa great point gained and one ‘or which the News and Observer otates has long contended. It means the elimination of the Senaterial con- test from the campaign for the Amendment, thereby insurinjr the party against factional tizhts And what is betterstill the elecrion of United States Senutoris pieced in } the hands of the people.

We take this posi- tion as a Republican who has always supported the Republican ticket and expects to continue todo so,and be- lieve it the duty of every true Re- publicaa ip the State todo the same.

The usual rows over the election of delegates to the National conven- tion are on in the Southern Republi- can State conventions. Blood was shed in the fight between the Ala- bama factions and Tennessee Re- publicans were kept out of the con- vention hall by force. Southern Republicanism, at least the white part of it, is in business for the Federal offices, and the electios of delegates to their National conven- tion usually brings on a row. = ,* = We direct attention to Chairman Simmons’ card printed elsewhere in this paper. To conduct this cam- paign money is absolutely necessa- ry. and the State committee has no way to get money except by volun- tary contributions from Democrats.

Bailey to the United States Senate and Texas and the country are to be con- gratulated. There is no abler Democrat than the handsome young Texan Congressman, and his elec- tion is gratifying to loyal Democrats everywhere. This writer saw Bai- ley swornin as @ member of his tirst Congressin December, 1591, and he thought tben that he was the handsomest man he had ever seen, and he has_ vot changed bis mind since. There was a strength and nobility about the young face which instantly proclaimed its owner one of the great of earth. His career in Congress hus justified the promise of his extraerdinary personal appearance.

Such laws must be passed as will increase the efliciency of our coun- try public schools. The towns have their graded schools, and their chil- dren have an opportunity to get an education in the free schools The country schools should have longer terms, and to get longer terms more money must be spent for schools. We will never be satis- fied until the country boys and girls, no matter how poor, have an opportunity to get ‘a good English education at public expense.

M. was conferred on bim by his alma mater. After yradua- tion he read Jaw and in June 1877, beyan to practice in Asheville. He was 2 painstaking. studious, able and conscientious attorney, and his practice grew steadily. In 1885 he formed a partnership with the late Judge Robert F. Armfield, and in 1889, when Judge Armfield went on the bench, Mr. Turner formed a partnership with Mr. Chas. H. Arm- field. It is one of the strongest le- gai firms in Piedmont North Caro- lina. Mr. Turner has alway been a ster ling Democrat and more than once has been chairman of the county ex- ecutive committee. Hebas been a leader in his district and in 1895 received a large vote for the nomina- tion for Congress.

Raleigh News and Observer. Four years ago when the Popatis Rale gh, every seat was occupied, the staze| and boxes were full, and crowds | thronged the gallery, eager to hear | every word that was_ said. Why? | oe “} iteelf, its members believed that, | inspite +! mistakes, the Populist party i:.1 a mission to perform. duere v.18 contests over nomipa- tions, there were rivalries in the party, aod out of the clashings came the harinony that gives strength and vigor to a political party. Yesterday when the chairman let the wzayel fall, not balf the seats were occupied, and only a few negro spec- tators were present in the galleries Instead of the cheers and shouts, rivalries and contests, and deep in- terest of the delegates, it was a dull, dry and Jistless affair fron bevinning to end. The harmony of Geath brooded over the whole dreary per- formance. Some cheers were given Butler’s speech against the amend ment, fainter cheers for Congress: tan Southerland’s eulogy of bryan, deep hisses for Harry Skinner's plea for consistency, and partisan yells (led by Republican officers) ” for Cyrus ‘Thompson's reply to Skinner, but these were all spiritless and lifeless compared to the enthusiasm and demonstrations of former Pop- ulist conventions. In 1892-94 and 96 the Populist con- vention was like a mighty torrent pouring down the mountain side: in 1900 it is like an old mil!-pond after the water has been turned off. 11 may be too soon to accurately guage the meauing of the action of the convention, but sobody doubts that at the caucus in Washington the Republicans and Populists hada perfect understanding and an agree- ment to work together in harmony. They are to fuse on all county und legislative tickets, and for the pies- ent each is to nominate a full State ticket. This action is not taken be- cause of uuy disagreement between the bosses of the two parties. Two theories are advanced for it. The first is that afew weeks before the election, the committee is to take down a portion of each ticket and print a fusion ticket from Governor down. Anotheris that the bosses of both ganys see that if fusion is attempted on the State ticket, it binds the Populist party to the ne- gro again, and drives off from its support every decent white man in the State, for the:¢ bosses have at last come to learn that no party ties cab keep men who ever were Dem > crats in poittical co-operation with |in the Capitol at Montgomery, last | Thursday. the negro, ! if ‘this fact, Pritchard, But Jim Young, George White ai. Jr. Thompson agreed thut it was oest to let the Populists make the fight to organize white opposition to the amendment while the Republicans would try to hold their mossy-backs and see that all the negroes vote. Of course this arrangement sacrifices all the nomi- pees on the State ticket, but it elects Butler to the Senate if it succeeds, and that’s what the Populist party in North Carolina is kept intact to do, Butler sees what it does and that’s why he had it carried through. Vhe other Populists, who are to be used as the catspaws to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for Butter, will see the game after awhile. Phey haven tyet been let into the secret. Of the deicyates present, it is es- timated that about one-fourth were mien who ure Populists and who have not yet made up their minds to pe Republicans. The other three- fourths were revenue oilicers, 2aug- ers, husbavds of post-mistresses mossy-back Republicans, and pic- eating and pie-wanting Republicans who were present to see to it that the ‘‘slate’’ approved by Pritchard was put through, and that nothin,t was done that burt the Republican party. They cheered loudly when the Nebraska Congressman praised Butler; they were silent when he paida high tribute to Bryan. They hissed a proposition to vote for Bryan and applauded every refer- ence of hostility to the amendment.

Frankfort, Ky., Dispatels, 20th, The Franklin county grand jury this afternoon returned indictments against ten persons, charging them with complicity in the murder of William Goebel. The principals baumed are Henry £. Youtsey, Jas. Howard Berry Howard, Harland Whittaker and “Tallow Dick” Combs, colored. Those indicted as accessories before the fact are Se- cretary of State Powers, Captain Sohn LL. Powers and ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley, W. H Culton and F. Wharton Golden. Jn the in- dictment relating to the alleged ac- cessories three other men are in- directly referred to as accessories, thougbino indictments were reported against them. They are Governor W. S. Taylor, Green Golden and Captain John Davis. The indictments were reported at 4:30 this afternoon. Henry E. Toutsey, who is mentioned as the principal, was a clerk of office of State Auditor Sweeney. Youtsey was the tirst named in the case by Wharton Golden, the star witness for the prosecution at the examin- ing trial cf Caleb Powers.

Dick Combs, the negro, lived at Beattyville, and also came here with the mountain men. Caleb Powers is the republican contestee for se- cretary of state and John L. Pow- ers. another of the defendants mam- ed as an accessory, is his brother. Charley Finley was secretary of state under the former republican state administration when Ww. O. Bradley was governor. Charles Fin- fey is now in Indianapolis, having gone there just before the warrant charging him with complicity was sworn outsix week ago. W. H.

Treasurer Worth and Auditor Ayer were both renominated. Wedonot know the other aominees. The convention instructed the delegates to the National Populist convention to vote for the nomina- tien of Bryaa for President, but it is said a majority of the delegates do not want him elected. Ex-Con- e#ressman Skinner offered a resolu- tion to endorse the Democratic can- cidates for electors at large, but it was voted down almost unanimous- ly. In fact, it appears that the leaders of the party, while profess- ing to be for Bryan, are really for McKinley, as many of them hold offices under his administration. In the recent convention Marion Gutler’s will was the supreme law, and it was more than ever cleariy demonstrated that the Populist purty is simply an annex of the Re- pablican party. We believe there are many honest Pepulists who willnot follow their :e-holding leaders into the Re- ican party, and that they will take this opportunity to vote with tue Democrats for white man’s rule in the State and Bryan and reform inthe Nation.

To the Democrats of North Carolina: We are engaged in a campaign of education. We want every white mun in North Carolina to understand the amendment. We wart no white man in North Carolina to be misled by the miserable falsehoods and misrepresentations that our enemies are circulating with reference to this measure. It is certain if the white people of the State do under- stand the amendment, its effect upon the State and the individual citizen, they will give it such a majority as no measure submitted to the people has ever before received in the his- tory of the State, and will give the ticket representing this measure the most decisive majority of recent years.

Raleigh News and Observer, lu Henderson, a city of 5,009 ip- haditants, at the Republican pri- mury held on Saturday not a single white tan was present and ali the delegates selected were negroves. in Warren at the county conven- tion the attendance was nearly one bundred and not a single white man was present. The negroes, however, in response to orders, elected twe white men as delegates to the State convention. ln Lenoir county of ninety pres- ent, seventy were negroes. In Guiltord the negroes obeyed orders and not one was present as Gelegate or alternate. , In Jones county three-fourths of the delegates were negroes, but the negroes were told to take a back seat and white men were elected to the State convention. These are a few sample Republi- can conveations. The revenue offi- cers, who absolutely run the Repub- lican party in North Carolina have bad their doodles at work for more than a month travelling about the State telling the negroes that they must take aback seat in the State convention this year inorder to de- feat the amendment. “If you are prominent in the conventions this year,’’ is the argument used, ‘‘you will never geta chance to vote again Take a back seat this year,and after we get in we will let you sit at the first’ table.” That argument has nad its effect in most counties, and the begro is consenting to disfran- chisement in the State convention this year in order tohelp iefeat the amendment and get pie pext year.

Senator Butler sat away back on the stage, talked much to a little coterie and smiled semi-occasionally, that sardonic smile which Populists know so well, There was a call for “Butler.” It grew into a little larger call. Butler nodded ‘‘no.’”’ A dele- gate, cried out: “Don’t shake your nead.’’ Then some one cried: “Ma- ry Ann?” and another said, “Ha! Ha!” At this hour the floorof the hail was half filled.

Cy Thompson at this juncture stepped to the front and got more applause thanall the rest of the speakers durirg the whole conven tion. He had studied every line ip the platform and also the entire po litigal situation in the State. He knew what the party had contended with in the past and would contend with in the future. He never bad pandered to the Democratic party since he jeft it. Then he shouted: ‘‘And so help me God, | never wili!”’ for a Conmmon Cause as ia Nebraska. | He said the Democrats !n JS9s re-|} (Ybunderous applause, which was renewed upon a2 call for it,and then saptan rvs . - he } yy | jected bryan and took the nigger! there was a great shout of ‘Hurrah and now were the nigger party ;that it could not get a majority save in! nigger counties; that its only hops! now was in stealing and counting! negro votes. He referred to L. cL. Polk as the great leader and apos: tle of Populism. He said the South and West must stand together. He intimated that the Democrats were vetting toward Wall street. Congressman Southerland was es- corted to the front,by Oy. Thompson and James B. Lioyd. Southerland said he was first of all a Popuiist, (applause). and that he broughta message from the great West. As soon as Southerland had linish- ed his speech, which was a “messave from Nebrasato North Carolina Populists to stand firmly by Wm. J. Bryan,” the committee on credentials reported, stated that all savea few counties were repre- sented, Twohours recess was tak- en. It was very noticeable that the Populists were desirous of mak- ing their numbersappear as large as possible and to make a showing of couuties represented. At least a third of the counties were not actu- ally represented. Only two dele- gates from west of the Blue Ridge were present, Long and Welborn. The platform committee reported at 3:30. The platform was read by Hal. W. Aver. It re-affirms the na- tional platform of 1895, instructs the delegates to the national convention to vote for Bryan (some applause}, commends the fusion State admints- stration for high personal and _ oftic cial integrity and ability and chal- lenges comparison with all past ad- ministrations, condemns the last Legislature for excessive appropria- tions and for enacting the election law, cunningly devised to defraud people of their votes; the worst law in any State, and for blundering and careless legislation and more uncon- stitutiona! laws than there were ever enacted by any Lezislaturein North Carolina; it denounces the Demo cratic machine leaders for laying the lash on the back of legislators and forcing the adoption of the consti tutional amendment in violation of pledyves; also submitting a measure most odious, infamous and danaver- ous in effect; that it must have known the dangerous fifth section was unconstitutional, and which div nifies with the suifrage the most dangerous element of the negroe that it slaughters the suffrage ofa son whose father does it dares rot openly attack; it declares that the amendment is not a party question, is above party and leaves that ques- tion to individual voters; that no one should be more anxious to de- feat the amendment than Demo- crats; it demands that article 5, sec tion 6 of the constitution be amend- ed by insévting among persons Cis- qualified for oftice all negroes and all persons of negro decent to the third veneration; that if the Legislature does this it will have Populist sup- port, if not, that tne Populists wi!l vote for legislators who pledge them- selyes todo it. The platform endor ses the Supreme Ccurt opinion that the Legislature can provide one form of county government for counties vith negro majorities and another form for white counties. As soonas the reading was com- pleted Harry Skinner walked to the front and threw a hand vrenade in- to the convention. He presented a minority report on platform. H- cried out: “‘Do you want Bryan for President?’’ There were all sorts of cries: “‘No,”’ “‘Yes, if ne accepts ou. nomination.”’ “First, then,’ said Skinner, ‘if you are honest you want honest mzans to compass his election. 1 don't want any playing politics. Ithink the dishonesty and fraud of Marion Butler at this con vention as disgraceful as the pol: ties played by Chairman Simmon:. Again I say: ‘Do you want Bryan ” There were again mingled cries of “No,” “*Yes,’’ Yes, if he comes to us straight ’’ Skinner continued: “He isa straight Populist. Do you want him?’’ (Cheers and cries of mainly a! for the next Governor of North Car- colina!) Dr. Thompson went on to say that he had been a friend of Skinner and wanted to teil the lat- (ter if he had any grievance against | Butler > t tocome here and ask the convention to settle it, but to go to Senator Butler and settle it like a ,man. (Roar of applause) Thon.p- son said he did not care for ofticeand lwas not anxious for the nomination, } but was ready to make a campaign jand thatif there was a man in the ‘convention who had not coaticence ‘in him, he wan:ed him to rise. He |said: ‘Adopt this platform aud let lus goforth to victory 1a North Car- jolina. Atl of you know you are go- fing to adopt it. Skinner failed to {yet in the Democratic convention +outecumes here ona freivht train. !(Great applause.) I call for the | - os Hs ;adopltion of the platform by a rising vote.’ The convention adopted it jamid cheers. Skinner in afew min utes left the hall. The resviutions which followed the platform were then read. sug- gesting ameudments to the election iW. On motion of A. S.

Then Senator Butier took the stand asad: leyate frou; Samp- son county, and said that he wanted Hamrick to be Labor Commissioner; that he was the ablest and best the State had ever had; that Garrett was at the wroug end of ihe State; that this left Shuford and he called for the latter’s nomination by accla- imation. This was done. John E Fowler placed in nomina- tion J. B, Schulken, of Coiumbus, for Secretary of State, and the lat- ter was nominated by acclamution. For Auditor Hal W. Ayer was nominated by acclamation. There was a Cail for this and a far louder one for Worth for Treasu:cr, who Was also nominated by aceiamation. For Superintendent of Public In- struction John Graham and° N. C. English were placed in nomination.

He said: ‘J will stay on the ticket until it dies.” ~~ —— > Pe <n A Mysterious Killing of a Chicago Millionaire. Chicago Dispatch, 16th. Rufus Wright, the millionaire manufacturer of rubber tires, shot during a scuffle for possession of a revolver. in the apartments of Mrs Louisa Lottridge, at the Leland Hotel, died today from the effects of the wound. The body of tne million- aire is now at undertakieg rooms, where 2n inquest will be held to- morrow. Itis the opinion of the police that the coroner’s investiga- tion willmark the close cf a sensa- tional case. A statement by the deceased to Chief Detective Coller- an that the shootiag was accidental will, it is thought, clear Mrs. Lot- tridee of all responsibility. Wright died with words of exculpation on his lips for the woman whose re- volver was responsible for his death. He persisted in saying that the wo- man was not to blame for his condi- tion and that he had the revolver in his hand when it was discharged. Mr. Wright's son-in-law and part. ner, Fred Morgan. was at his side at death. Mr. Morgan held that his father-in-law was on an errand to belp a friend who had become en tangled with the woman when he received his death wound. Although he admits he can offer no evidence, Chief of Detectives Colleran strongly believes that the weapon was not in the hands of Wright when it was discharged. A careful examination of the position of the wound, he says, will show that it would be impossible for Wright to have heldthe weapon in bis hand. Capt. Colleran says also that Mrs. Lottridge said sbe could not remember whether the weapon was in her handor Wright’s. Mrs. Lottridve in a statement made tothe police said: ‘‘I cannot remember what ied up to the pro- duction of the revolver. J was talk- iag to Mr. Wright when he asked me to show him a revolver of which he had spoken previously. I refus- ed to do so, and we talked of other maiters for a while. I remember that finally [wentto my valise and took out my weapon and when he saw it Mr. Wright begged me to throw itaway. As I remember, he tried to take the weapon from my hand and we scuffed. I stood up and be was sitting ou the couch. I had hold of the weapon, when with a sudden effort hetore the revolver from my grasp. He fell backward and [ followed him. JI managed to vet hold of the but of the weapon. he holding to the guard. As we strugyuied, the weapon was discharg- ed, and, bad as I felt from the liquor 1 bad drunk. I could not helperying out in borror when l saw he was wounded. He fell back on the sofa and yasped that he was shot. L laugned hystericaily and told bim he was ali right. He insisted he bad been wounded, and begged ime to call a dector, “T told him he wus dreaming. and then set about curing for him, I teox 1 handkerchief from his pocket aad attempted to staunch the flow of slocd from his neck, where the ball had entered: Tsaw ata vlance that the revelver had done dvadiy work, pat T could not bring myself to tell any one of the occurrence. I waited on Mr. Weight far two hours, possi- bly, before T summoned a doctor. I was so overcome that! could nottalk, and may bave said things I ought uot to have said, but the pressure I was luboring under was the cause of my actions. “Thestory that Mr. Wright came tomy room in the interest of a friend is false: fe came to see me at my request. He had known me long enough to come at my least call. He was in good spirits when he en- tered the room. We drank together and talked of matters which concern- ed ourselves. We had a2 pleasant conversation until the revolver was introduced by chance and the strug- gle which ended in his death.”’ WHO MRS. LOTTRIDGE IS. Buffalo, N. Y..

Slim in its attendance, spiritiess and representing vothing cf worth, the Populist couvention of Wake coun- ty was even better than 10 most other counties in the State. Why have these conventions been so slimly attended? The answer 1s patent to the most casual observer. The Populist party exists no more in North Carolina, except in name. It bas been traded off to send gold- bugs to Congress and elect negro officers in Eastern North Carolina until it has lost its character. The time was that it believed in its dec- larations. Then it had power. It has been sold out so often and its leaders have so often made its decla- rations a door-mat to be trampled op. that it has no principles to at- tract honest men. It has forfeited the confidence of the people, because its leaders have betrayed the party principles in order to get offices for themselves. : In most counties the Populist party is eflicered by Republicans, or men who take their orders from Republicans. How can a par- ty failto die and be a stench in the nostrils of decent men when it is subservient to the gold standard and trust parcy? We publish today a communication, showing that Hal W. Ayer, who presided over Satur- day’s Populist’ convention, isagold bug and that John W. Smith, lead- ing Populist of Mark’s Creek, says he is ‘on the fence’; on the money question, and be is now “favorable to the gold standard."’ Pretendivy to fight against the gold standard, the Populist leaders in North Caro lisa are traitors to their national principles, in that they affiliate with the party that has recently saddled the gold standardon the country. Such treachery has reduced the Populist party in North Carolina from 48,000 voters, to less than 10,- 000, and theattempt to make that 10,000 vote for another reign of negro rule will make that vote shrink until the only thing lefe of the Populist party in North Caro- lina will be a grease spot on the ground, anda smell of sulphur. ‘His Life Was Saved.
