Ip McKinley is anxious to talk tariff he will be accommodated before the campaign is over. He need not he afraid of losing opportunities to explain the most monstrously absurd tariff law ever drawn In history. ;_ Major IK.xtv, who was a candidate before the,republican state convention for governor, ha- come out on t he side of silver, lie says the republican national convention iuade a great mistake in striking silver from the currency of our nation. The gas belt is overwhelmingly in favor of silver,theTrorkingmen’s money.

The republican managers have cook- to their sense* and now reatke that there will be a big fight in national }*>lit ies this year. The old cry of protection to the laboring man is an old song that will no longer work. High tariff is an old issue which has been worn threadbare bv the McKinley henchmen. The iu« ney issue is now railing fur explanation, but the g.o, p. is afraid to tackle tt. Uvox every hand does one hear of the popularity of the candidates on the county democratic ticket. They are men of irreproachable character, and who are pro-per-ouscitizen* of the county. They are men] who can be relied upon to make splendid officials if elected to the several positions. They stand Well among li e people and are well known throughout the county, and will receive a large vote among that class' of voters, who ca>t their suffrage* for the men and not the party. PxMUH.T the greatest political conven- ] tk»n ewr held in the United States i> now in session at Chicago to nominate the next ! president. The attendance is the largest ; ever kpown at a convention and the enthusiasm knows no boumls. A big fig is being waged t»;*tween the East ate! the West on the money question, the Hast of pours** favoring tin* yellow metal and the] West silver and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1. The people are watching with much interest the outcome of thi- great battle. Xothjxg on earth can Unit McKinley:; his nomination was the result of a spontaneous demand by the people of a man of the people and for the people.—Petersburg , Press. , flood. It is W{ :l . r. *d 11 »t h- :s packed up by the millionaire*, corporations, trusts and Wall street. They know what to expect in t lie event, that h> sbonM be fleeted. The people demand that trusts shall not be fostered under the protecting care ofthe government. Why not protect

! the farmer of Pike' county. give him a royalty on his wheat or corn, au<f put him on the same footing with the corpulent sugar grower. '__ Uncle IMck Lives It lTp, The venerable Richard W. Thompson was a delegate from this state tot he republican convention at St. Louis and while there made this declaration: “I have been actively engaged iu politics for sixty years. I witnessed the birth of the republican party and have followed its fortunes tjhrough sunshine and rain. It is standing on dangerous ground to-day. If it ignores silver in its platform it will lose the election. I never saw a stronger feeling among the people on any subject that exists ! for silver to-day. Bimetallism is the American creed. I nn not how its restoru- ! turn is brought about iu our monetary system, whether by international agreement or independently, but I do know that the ; masses of the people are iu no temper to be f fooled with and the quicker the platformmakers are brought face to face with that | realization the better it will be for the j party 1 helped to make." *

Washington Letter* (From our regular eonwKudent.) Washikoto^, July 6,1896. Prominent democrats are scarce in Washington this week. Those who have | uot gone to the Chicago convention have [ gpue to some quieter place than WashjdgI ton to await the news of the convention's | action on the ticket; everybody has about I made ap their minds what the platform | will be. Secretary Carlisle is the only member of the cabinet in town, and, although he must be deeply interested in the convention, he will not talk about it for publication. Secretary Morton stood the temptation as long gs he could, and almost at the last minute remembered thar he owed his son. who lives in Chicago, a visit. He is now in Chicago. Of course the eonj vention did not carry him there. It would be a waste of both time ami space to write of the rumors now current in Washington about what the convention will and will uot do. The convention will speak | for itself this week, and when it speaks it | will also speak for the democratic party, j It has been thirty-six years since there was j a bolt from the-national convention of the democratic party, but there are plenty of ! men now liviug who can testify to the disastrous result of that bolt, it is not in the nature of things that everybody can be | pleased with what the convention does, but : the majority must rule, and the watchword jot' every good democrat, should be, let there be no tx-lting. * • Mr. G. E. Leach, a well known citizen of ! Kaleigli, X. C., is now in Washington. He says of the political outlook in his stale: ‘*1 don't think there is Any doubt that North Carolina will return to its old love and give a round majority for the national and state democratic tickets. The coalition betweft^the republicans and populists has about goue to pieces, ami the nominating of a free silver ticket at Chicago means the return of thousands of populists to the democratic ranks. The state is overwhelmingly for free silver, and the gold plank in the St. Louis platform will loose -McKinley thousands of republican votes ih the state."

hx-C ougressman orooKsrure of Indiana, practices law in Washington, uwt he keeps tab on things political in ms state and takes an active part in every campaign. He says of the present campaign: “1 think that Indiana will stand by the democratic party this fail in both state&ttd national ejections. In Hon, lx F. Shively, our gubernatorial candidate, we are especially fortunate, as he is one of the ablest and best liked men in the state. He is under forty years of age, and while iu congress made a most excellent record.’* The annual report of Hon. W. T. Harris, l’. S. commissioner of educational progress in the south. For instance, the report says: “In the past twenty years the South has increased 130 per cent— more than twice as fast as the population.- In the twenty years from 1874 to 1804. the value of school property in the South increased from #16.000.000, to $56.000,000—an addition of $40,009,000, or $2,000,000 a year.*’ • There is uuite a commotion in go/ernmeut circles on account of the arn/st bv V . S. secret* service officers of Francis VVhitclv, a wealthy manufacturer/of en-/ graved steel plates, for having attempted to bribe Gen. \Y. W. Duffieidyimief of the l*. S. coast and geodetic survew by offering h;m a smu of money to awards!he contract for supplying the eng&tvtd plates for the maps and charts issued by tlie coast and i g. nletie survey. Gen. Duffieid is naturally very indignant at having been offered a bribe, and lus indignation is shared by i other officials who consider the offer to have been a reflection on every official’s in-1 tegrity. Gen. Duffieid said on the subject: j This i< the first time in my experience that I have been insulted in this way, and 11 wonder that a man of Mr. Whitely’s prom-1

inence and wealth should hare done such a thing. I never saw him until after I received the letter offering me a bribe to. award him this contract, although he has [had several contracts from .the bureau. Mr. Whiteiy does business in New York I city but resides in Newark.; N. J. Railroads are sometimes very tricky, i Postmaster General Witsool has discovered that a number of them have been beating ; Uucle Sam out of postage by a plan of sendiug all letters fur railroad officials by , baggage masters on mail trains. The attention of the officials .pf ill railroads has I consequently been called tjo that clause of the IT. S. revised statutes which forbids j regular post route roads carrying mail in I any other than regular mail cars, exceed when letters are enclosed in stamped envelopes. If that doesn’t siopithe scheme some arrests will be made.
