The desperate condition of the republican party in this part of the state is well shown by the wilfull and malicious lie that was started at Larwiil on Sa:urday as the Harrison circus left that village and was peddled out at every point where the train stopped. The wrd was sent out to all the newspapers of the country that the Harrison train wa3 stopped at Larwiil to afford the venerable Alexander McNagny, father of Congressman McNagny, an opportunity to greet Harrison. It was further said that Mr. McNagny declared to Harrison that he could not and would not vote for tiis own son for congress and that he ought to be defeated. This was a lie out of whole cloth, and supposed to have been sent out by a rattled-brained man by the name of Barber, wha is doing most of the lying for the republicans this year. The father of Congressman McNagny resides near Larwiil and is almost eighty years of age. The Joy of his old age ia In his son and between them there has always been the tenderest and closest relations of confidence, and for this reason the lie seems all the more brutal. Mr. McNagny wai not away from his home the day Harrison passed through Larwiil; he did not see Harrison and did not want to see him. And. although he has always been a republican, he will this year not only vote for his son, but will vote the democratic ticket. This infam ms lie has disgusted the deceit republicans of the county and has put democrats to work for the ticket who have heretofore been Indifferent. i:TIUSI.JiTIC IN PUTNAM. John R.

Lamb addressed the democracy of this city last night and the court room was so filled that not another person could have been driven in with "an old-fashioned knot maul." It was by far the best night meeting held here this campaign by any party. Ever since the campaign has opened here the managers of the republican party and the party organ here have been crying. "The democrats won't turn out this year; what's the matter with you?" But since Senator Turpie' s. day meeting and the Lamb meeting they have subsided. They have also quit talking about the McKinley bill and sugar. Some of the republican gang are in the habit of whispering to those who are not acquainted with them "that they have always been democrats, but Intended voting the republican ticket this year." The papers here have exposed some of them for this game of confidence they are attempting to p'.ay. Do not be alarmed about the result in "old Putnam." She will do her duty Nov. 6. Every man on the county ticket will be elected and George W. Cooper will get his usual majority. VOORIIEES TO SPEAK AT PAOLI. Eilf nulif Prrimrntionii Ifnve lief n Made 10,0H People Expected.

If the testimony to the good times should have come from democratic sources alone it might have been set down to partisan optimism. Hut the evidence as to the revival of industrial operations throughout the land comes from wholly unbiased and authoritative sources such as the commercial agencies, the representative trade journals, the head of the American bankers' association, etc., and to these eminent authorities must be added the foremost protectionist Journal in the United States, the New York Tribune. Such a bulwark of testimony Is impregnable, and It ls the sheerest folly to attempt to foutt It down. Philadelphia Record (dem.). The populist party in North Carolina seems to be going to pieces. The Raleigh News and ObserveT publishes letters from three populists In Moore county announcing their withdrawal from that party and return to the democratic fold. One of them, Mr. Ralph Currln writes: "I have 'been 'footed toy the people's party. I was conscientious in my views heretofore and did 'believe that the people's party was right, but now I see that they were trying to lead myself, as well as others, into a party that all white men know ls the cause of our present troubles arising from national legislation, as was the case in this state from 1866 to 1S76." Three others indorse what Mr. Currln says and express their purpose to fight in the democratic ranks hereafter. Winston and Ashevllle papers also make mention of desertions from the populist ranks. Baltimore Sun (dem.). Tramps and trusts, the twin products of a monopolists' tariff, were practically unknown in this country until we haJ endured uninterrupted republican rule for a dozen years. The worst labor troubles, the bloodiest riots, the most destructive strikes, the rmxst brutal lockouts ever known in any country have occurred here under the high tariffs bought, made and paid for by the contributors of the republican campaign funds. The panic of last year started under the McKinley tariff and when it was known that no change could take place for a year to come. It was due chiefly to the unsettlement of our currency by the republican silver and inflation law. But the old trouble of a market glutted with good under the enticement of tariff bounties contributed to the trouble. The financial and industrial history of the past thirty' years Is simply a succession of short spurts of stimulated activity. Interrupted iby collapses, panics and long periods of depression and distress. For Mr. Reed to speak of It as a period of uninterrupted prosperity is to insult the intelligence of his hearers. N. Y. World (dem.). The democratic party is responsible for two tariff laws in fifty years. One of these w?s accepted by republicans, when they extended its principles, by the law of 1S"7. The other, according to Tom Reed and the Gazette anl U Is the muchabused law of the last congress has already vindicated itself, and is not to be disturbed. Verily we have come upon Strange days.- Opposition to any further tariff legislation. In the way of amending the present law. we all know originates in a desire to save the republican-created sugar trust. T record shows it Is the republican party that has been the persistent tariff tinker of our economic history. In the twenty-eight years from 1862 to 1S90 it has passed no less than twenty-six distinct tariff bills. Including the three general revisions of 1864, of 1SS3 and the McKinley law of 1890. In addition there were twenty-three other tariff laws passed by that party iu this period. The reason is obvious. The republican party is the party of the tariff lords, the trusts and monopolies, and whenever these interests sought to Increase their dividends by fresh Imposts on the people, all they had to do wi to send their lobbyists down to Washington. The McKinleys, the Morrllls and the Shermans were always ready to honor their denmidr. It was one way of replenishing the campaign chest of the party. Pittsburg Post (dem.).

ALONG THE BYWAYS.

(Jen. Armstrong, assistant commli -ner of Indian affairs, thinks that Andrew Jackson was one of the greatest men this country ever produced, and has a number of stories which were told him by his uncle, who was an Intimate friend of Old Hickory'. One of them Is very characteristic of the man. Lewis Cass, secretary of war, was over at the white house one day with eomo Irrportant papers fr the president to si;n, among them being a court martial finding's. "Cass, what is this?" inquired Jackson, as he was about to write his name to the document. "It is a court martial," answered Cass. "What have I to do with it?" a-ked the president. "It dismisses an officer fr-'m the fcrviee, and the president must sign such orders." Jackson toyed with ihn ptier and sail, musinsrly: "LMsmissPTl from the armv, eh? Why?" "Dru:;kennes; getting drunk and falling down on pnracle. or something -f that kind." answered the secretary. "Who ordered the court?" asked Jackson. "Gen. Scott." answered Cass. "Who i? it?" inquired the president, with more interest. Inspector-General Kraun," rerüeS 1 . ecretary Cass. "What!" shouted Jackson. "My old friend Col. Kraun! Cass, just read what that paper says." The secretary reid the usual f orm f the court martial sentc-r.ce in such ca The president then took the paper and wrote across the bottom where he was about to sign his name: "The within findings are disapproved, and Col. Kraun is restored to his duty and rank." 1I passed the paper back to Secretary Ca?, and said with his usual vehemence; "By the eternal! C.t", when you and So tt serve your c -uuirv as weil a that man h.a. you ein get drunk on duty every lay." A young man fr m Tenneps-o, s n "f a friend of Gen. Ja kson, came to V.i-h-intin for a pla.-e. He 1.; iked a'.out tied found what he warned. Jt was in i:ie war depirtntenr. ;nil !'.!! by a very 'hci nt whig, w'.mm .t re:ary Cass would n.-.t remove.

Washington P. "It is the fashion with some actors and more managers," said Nat C. Godwin, toe comedian, the other day, "to insist that there is no money in American plays; that is, in plays written by Americans. If they do rot go as far aa that they assert that it is nrore profitable in every way to buy. borrow or s;eal from foreign authors. Now I am rtady to tike a stand absolutely and radically in opposition to this view. I made up my ir.ir.d five yea's atro that I was strong enough to make an experiment. I thought that the American drama had grown sturdy en uga t support me and that I hal reached a )int in my career where I c -u!d ap-'M to be a patron In a humble way of the native dramatist. Besides. 1 had a very considerable ntiori that the American dr.imatit could help me as much as I could serve him, or mre.

That encouraged me, nv. very naturally I turned toward the rising young pliywrigh: and journalist. Hriry Guy Carleton, for my next venture. He wrote 'A Gilded Fool' for m and from the veryfirst it hit the public very hard, actually putting more money into his and my pcktts than any play he had written or I had acted up to thit time. "Sj my policy of sticking to American authors justitiell itself from Its inception. I should have been a fool to have wandered after foreign gods after that, and I may confess that what began as a simple determination to experiment along certain lines speedily grew wi:h me to a passion from which I giii-s I shall nver shake loose. The reception of Augustus Thomas's 'In Mizzouri,' which I produced in Chicago a year ago, in pursuance of my resolve to put in at leist one new American play every s-vton, of course? encouraged me to persevere, and I think I may claim to have expanded my original plan to its natural limit when I say that this seas-n I shall prduce n- lesa than three plays by American authors.
