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.

Suppose that we were w.llcd in and had

It iniist lie that the value of each dollar

Chicago, Oct. 13.—The Trade and
Labor assembly has received the report
of the committee (P. J. 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. On tho other
leather goods ho receives 87^ to (10
i cents a day for his labor, working as
long as daylight huffs, averaging 12 to
14 hours per day. Common laborers can
be hired for 18 to 50 cents per day.
House servants, male or female, receive
^3 to $5 per month and board themselves.

Columbia, S. O., Get. 10.—Colonel F.
M. 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.

Two .Men Make an Attempt on ttio Life of
a rroininont South Carolinian.
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.

North Carolina Democrats and Populist*
Fail to Krach an Agreement.
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.

cers of tho Southern Express company
were examining his books, entered an
outhouse a few feet away and swal
lowed tho deadly drug. Five hours
later he was found by several friends,
whoso suspicion was aroused by his
sudden disappearance. He was uncon

but the efforts were of no avail.
Examination of his books by tho rail

since Get. 8, when, ho received $223 from
a local lodge of a benevolent organiza
tion to be forwarded next day. He re
ceived $118 from another organization
also, but neither amount was sent to its
destination.
The Southern Express company loses
tho principal amount of the shortage,
the railroad’s loss being loss than $50.
