THK I EDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 15, 180G. BRffl TOTIIE Democratic Nominee Addresses Minneapolis Ladies. SOMETHING NEW UNDEfi THE SUN The First Instance on Itcconl of a Politi cal Meeting Presided Over by, and Made Up Exclusively of, the Fair Sex—Ne braskan Tolls Why He Would lUtlier Have the Wife on Ills Side. Minneapolis, Got. 13.—Perhaps the most unique feature of Mr Bryan’s visit to Minnesota was his address at the Lyceum theatre to an audience made up exclusively of women and presided over by women. There wore 2,(XX) women present and Mrs. Frank A. Va- lesh presided. When Mr. Bryan ar rived about 10 o’clock the lad es arose enmasse, waved their handkerchiefs and flags and clapped their hands and culled his inimo—in fact did everything men might have done except give three cheers and a tiger. Mr. Bryan said : Indies, this is a novel experience, not only new in that I am unaccustomed to ad dressing an audience of ladi s, entirely, but new in that 1 have to compete against an other “boy orator.” [Laughter and ap plause]. When 1 am talking against older |hts >ns, 1 have the sympathy of the moth ers; but when I am talking against a younger person I am afraid that the mot it er’s sympathy would goouttothe smaller ot them. [Applause]. And I confess that 1 cannot blame you, because I felt that, if 1 were judge, I would award him the prWe, even though I were a contestant myself against him. I believe this is the first political meeting where a candidate has addressed his remarks to ladies en tirely in the discussion of an economic question, and yet I offer no apology. On the contrary, I deem it not only a great privilege but a great honor. My experi ence tenches me that the mother and the wife are important parts of the family. [Applause], In fact I would rather have the wife on my side in the.beginning of the campaign than to have the husband, if 1 could only have one. [Applause]. And I will tell you why: Because if I have the wife I am almost sure to have the hus band Indore the campaign is over, and if 1 only have the husband 1 am never sure of him. [Laughter and applause]. Gold Men Without Gold. A lady who was canvassing down in Ne braska the other day gave utterance lo one of the best things which I think this cam paign lias enjoyed. She was canvassing and called at our house to get some liter ature on the silver question to circulate ns she went from place to place, and while there she said that she had a brother who was a gold man, without gold. [Laugh ter]. She said she could understand how a man could be a gold man who had gold, but she could only pity the gold man who was without gold. [Applause and laugh ter]. And you know, mv friends, that Is the condition in which a large majority of the gold men are—gold men without gold, ami when you tlnd a gold man without gold you find one whom you can convert, liec.ause, while the gold standard is a good thing fora few in this country, the gold standard it a bad thing for tin* great mass of the people, and the reason why our cause grows from day to day is found in the fact that the arguments in behalf of bimetallism appeal to tin* heads and the hearts of the American people and the t ;old standard appeals only to the heart- ess. [Applause], The reason why mothers are taking such an interest in this campaign, the rea son why the wives are feeling deeper in- ter-st than they usually feel is b-cause they are becoming acquainted wilh the -jtold standard, 'i his money question is not too deep to be understood by an Amer ican citizen. Kvcry great political ques tion is lirst a great economic question, iiml every great economic question is at least a great moral question. Questions lire not settled until the right and wrong of the quest iota are d termined. These questions are not settled until people ttrasp the fundamental principle and w ben these principles are finally compre- hended then the people settle the question, And they settle it for a generation. The J ieople are studying this quesiiou.sttidy- ng it as they have not stu ii d it b fore. Aye. st udying it as they have not st udied itny question before in your lifetime or mine. Study leadsto umierstaiuling. But to study you must commence at the bot tom mid study up. Now what is the lirst great principle!' The value of a dollar depends u |K>u the number of doll »rs. Vou ran make dollars dearer or cheaper by changing thequantity. Xow, this is a sim ple proposition. It is fundamental, mid when you have studied it, mid when you have understood it, you understand the money question. T|n> I,*■ w of Supply nail DiHiinnil. Suppose that we were w.llcd in and had enough win* in the indo-ure to last us a year.

What is the re sult? The demand for money remains the sum* and supply of mom-y is cut in two. It iniist lie that the value of each dollar will rise When wheal raised in value, a “bushel of wheat brought more money' when money raises in value, n dollar in money buys more wheat. What is the second result? The peoplr who own the money or who own cmirnetH payable in dollars, profit hy the rise mill they are very gla I of the ritv [Ap;d mso and laughter).

Chattanooga, Oct. 13.—Tho Trades man’s special reports from sonthorn mauafacturcra show a steady increase in business dm to tho coutinned cool weather, rapid crop movement and the advance in wheat, wool, iron and steel. Railway earnings show an improve ment, and in tho bank clearings for tho past, wook an increase of lb per cent over the week previous is noted. The iron and steel market is active nr. 1 the advance in prices is being firmly maintained. Some large contracts are reported, especially in steel and iron bars and also in nails. Fig iron con tinues in good demand and an a Ivanco of 2r> cents per ton lias been made on some grades. Very little change is visible in the lumber market. Business is not up to tho average for the season and a num ber of lumber failures arc reported. The export trade is nnusually active. Textile manufacturers are doing a fair amount of business and expect an im provement after tho election. The busy so son is fairly on in tho coal mining districts and business is increasing at a lively rate. The following are among the most im portant new industries: Tito United | States Construction company, capital $250,000, chartered at Atlanta, Ga., to : build and equip railroads; a large cot- ton compress at Augusta, Ga.; tho , American and Mexican Milling and 1 Treasure company, chartered at Rich- ^ niond, Va., with a capital of $500,000; an oil mill at Macon, Miss., and the J. ; U.

Maas and Pat rick Enright) which it sent to Mexico for tho purpose of studying the social and financial condition of the Mexican laboring class. The report is in part as follows: ' Tito Mexican laborer is apparently ' content with the four bare walls of his j* 10-foot square abode but, with nothing inside hut the ground to sleep on, a shawl or blanket to cover or wrap him self up in, a dish of tortillas (corn pan cakes) and frejoles (beans) for his fru gal meal, and in a large number of cases a little pig, u dog and a chicken or two of the gamecock order sharing his scant quarters. Wages, ex. ept to skilled and steady mechanics—always foreigners-- ate very low. "At Loon, where nearly all the leather | goods in Mexico are manufactured, the peon gets for making shoes $1 and up- i ward per dozen pairs.

Mixson, state liquor commissioner, sent to tho state board of control, sit ting in secret session, tho following note of resignation: It has been my desire for some months to resign my position as state scorn mis sion! r, but on account of the many ru mors and slanderous reports in circula tion I could not afford to do so, preferring to wait an investigation by your honor able board. You have conducted this in vestigation ami have exonorated mo fully from any wrongdoing, and I now tender you this. :ny resignation, to taka effect as soon as you gentlemen can name my suc cessor. or in any other manner relieve mo of the duties. I would bo glad to have you act at as early a time as you possibly can. but I do not wish to embarrass you nor (ho business in causing you to act hastily. Very respectfully, F. M. Mixon. Tho dispensary act did not give the governor or the board power to remove the commissioner, and lawyers here contend that his successor could not bo chosen by tlie board until a meeting of tlie legislature, but members of tho board, before the receipt of the resigna tion, expiessed the belief that arrange ments cop.ld bo made to cany on the business. Tho board’s faith in this was demonstrited without hesitation. Tho resignation of Commissioner Mixson was accepted. TRIED TO KILL A LAWYER. ’he day’s work in Mexico runs from ten to 14 hours.

Columbia, S. 0., Get. 8.—A bold at tempt was made near hero to assassi nate William N. Graydon of Abbeville, u leading South Carolina lawyer, ex- member of the legislature and one of the most influential of the younger pol iticians in the state. At tlie present term of court Colonel Graydon managed a case for a negro charged with burning a ginhouse be longing to a man named Milling. Ow ing to his efforts the case resulted in a mistrial. Milling and Marrow, a friend of Milling, did not like the verdict and were infuriated at Colonel Graydon, as his management of tho case alone saved tho negro. Colonel Graydon was driving out to his residence a mile and a half from the city with his little son, and when a short distance from the city came upon Milling and Morrow waiting in tho road. Without warning one of them saidr “Here is the damned rascal now; let’s kill him." They then fired four shots at Colon el Croydon and rode off. Not one shot hit him. He swore out a warrant for tho arrest of his assailants and a deputy has gone to execute it. Tho Democratic Stnto t'cntral Coinmitteo Formulates a I’rnpoitltlon For Complete Fusion on State, ConcreuHtonal and County Tickets and Send* It to tlie Pop ulist Stale Chairman—Other Items. Raleigh, Oct. 10.—Tho Democratic central committee, which now has am ple power, was in session five hours hero. It formulated a proposition for complete fusion on state, congressional ami county tickets, and this was scut to the Populists’ state chairman. The latter’s committee is not in ses sion, but is apt to meet in a day or two. It-is asserted that Senator B itlor and National Chairman J utes fixed up this fusion deal last week at Washington with a view to electing not only stiver congressmen, bat also a United States senator. Botli tho Democratic and Populist chairmen are reticent. Republicans claim that tho Democrats are at tho mercy of tho Popn ists. They assert that Butler is preparing to play a trick on tho Democrats us ho did last Septem ber at tho state silver couvontiou. In the fusion state and congressional ticket, as displayed by Senator Butler’s paper, the Republicans who were named for attorney general and associate jus tice of tho supreme court are not put up at all, neither is Richmond Pearson, Republican congressional candidate in the Ninth dsitrict. Marion Ring, a young white boy, who poisoned his father, Dr. Ring, and his family last March in Surry county, and who was sent away to tho west, re turned and was instantly arrested, jailed, fried and convicted, has been brought to the penitentiary to serve five years. His crime nearly cost the iivea of his entire family. tral Committee John D. Carroll are on the verge of a duel. The trouble grew out of the late Frankfort convention, when Carroll caused Bronstpn’s defeat by throwing his strength to Evan E. Settle of Owen county. It seems that Bronston has counted on Carroll to nominate him, aud was mad when his opponent was benontod by the withdrawal of tho Henry county man. The report says that Senator Bron ston cursed Canoll roundly and that Carroll told him coolly to think over tho matter and apologize for his re marks. Bronston proposed to settle tho matter in a personal encounter, but Carrol’ refused aud told him that ha should have time in which to take back his objectionable language. Letters have passed between them, but it is stated by those close to Bronston that ho does not intend to retract what ho said, and there seems no way out of tlie trouble except in accordance with the code adopted in settling such grievances. Both are bravo men, and if the field is resorted to as tlie only way of settling the matter, it is believed each will face his foo gamely. Ho was horn in Macon Die. 3, IS-’U, attended Dr. Bcmau’s famous school and was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1853. Ho graduated at Jefferson Medical college at Philadel phia in 185(5 and returned to Macon and practiced medicine. He enlisted in the war with the Macon volunteers in 18(51 aud was made a surgeon of tho battalion in 18(52. Later he was assistant surgeon at Richmond to tho Third Georgia hos pital and then became surgeon of the Forty-sixth Georgia regiment in the field until the surrender. After tho war he resumed practice in Macon for about a year and then wont into the general merchaudiso bu inoss under the firm name of Jones & Baxter. Retiring from business in 18.3, in 1876 he became director in the Soiffhwcstcm railroad and in IK'Jl became its presi dent, which position he was holding at the time of his death.

Finally he caught his s m on tho streets and, taking him foreibiy, started to the railway station. When on the track he stopped to take a drink from a flask. Tlie hoy, released, bolted away.

Raleigh, Get. 13.—The Democratic central commitlee held a very impor tant meeting hero. Guo of tho matters before it was the reply of tho Populist state chairman to the committee’s let ter of last Friday, making inquiry as to whether arrangements could ho made to elect free silver congressmen. The Populist chairman, in reply, says he is anxious to see nine free silver con gressmen elected, but declares tlicre is nothing tangible in the Democratic chairman’s letter which can bo acted on. He adds that the conditions have changed since Senator Butler made tho proposition last August for complete fusion. It is evident that (lie Populist loaders could not now, even if they desired to do so, control their party’s full vote, in further fusion wit It the Deui(x:rat.s. It is regarded certain that negotiations aro now at an end. The Republicans are carrying oat their contract with tlie Populists on congressmen. Both Populist and Republican chair men declare the Democrats cannot elect a single congressman. The Democrats assort they will almost certainly elect three— one in tlie Fifth, Sixth and Ninth districts. In accordance with the agreement of the Republican state committee to sup port tho Populists’ nominees for con gress in five districts in North Carolina, tlie Republi an nominees in all these districts have withdrawn. Tho last to withdraw was Pat Massey of this dis trict. THE REV. W. K. BOGGS DEAD.
