Union, S. 0., Au#. 11.—One of the largest campaign meetings of the scries Was held here. It started off very dnll, flat and nuintemsung, lut as time wore on and as the day got hotter Duncan and Evans, the rival senatorial candi dates, got their lighting blood up, am but for the timely interference of Sheriff Long, a repetition of the Florence slug- eiug match would have taken place, with one change of character in the east. Everything passed off quietly until Duncan maile his speech. Every charge Duncan ever made against Evans he seemed to have bottled up to be poured out on Evans’s head on this occasion. He spoke ol the dispensary rebates, lie had charged at Barnwell that Hnbbcll, the Mill Creek Distilling company rep resentative, offered Mixson, state com missioner, per car rebate on rye whisky if he would purchase from him. Mixson refused and told Evans about it and later Evans ordered Mixson to buy from Hubbell, the inference ledn'-r plain. He turned to Evans and im did saiil he dare deny tliat lie (Evans) had to Mixson: "Old Bon Tillman has lined his pocket with dispensary rebates.” Governor Evans did not answer the question, but rather sneered at ii and Duncan. The latter then stopped up to Evans and] ask -d him won d he sign a paper upon which the following was written: ‘‘If Mixson says what IJnuean ascribed to him at Barnwell lie lies.” . Governor Evans not only did not sign it, hut turned it away by sayin;;: ‘•I’ll pay no attention to anything you an.. ’ t • clj • Duncan turned to the crowd and said Evans was afraid to sign if, because ho know Mixson would show him up. Tim governor appeared somewhat nettled with the turn affairs had taken, es pecially when the crowd cheered Dun can. But it was when Duncan charged that Evans made pi a, HD out of the bond deal that mailers aim st came to a or sis. •‘Who told yon that': How do you know thatr'’ angrily demamle i Evans. ‘•Tell what yon know and nothing else. Nobody but yon has ever made sucli an assertion.” Duncan replied that L irry Gantt had said so Evans demanded th it Duncan read Gantt’s letter to the papers on the sub ject. remarking in an undertone: ‘'You can’t too the truth, anyway.” Duncan turned around audslaried to ward Evans, who was sitting but a few feet away, remarking: •■Do yen i*uy that I can’t tell the tu^h?” n'Sva.s his intention to resent • *ftion, to all appearaue >s. Sheriff Long was sitting near Evans and before Dnueau could get to him ho stepped up and told Duncan lie would have no trouble and for him to go ha.-lt. Evans seemed little disturbed by Dirii- ean’s be ligoieut demeanor and never left bis seat. Duncan deliberately walked back to the front of the stand and resumed his speech. BANKERS ARRESTED.

The Democratic committee mot hero and it was soon made apparent that the session would be stormy. Tho Pop ulists, it was said, would not accept electoral fusion unless there was also state fn-ion, and Democrats will not submit to the latter. In fact, a power ful element in both Populist and Demo cratic parties i of uses to fuse at all. Populist delegates to their state con- * volition from 11 counties were hero and declared their opposition to fusion with any party. Many Populists swea icy are in tho middle of the road and^ can win in a three-cornered fight. Tl "ce tickets now seem assured. Senator Butler is hero, also Congo ss- man Shu ford, ox-Congrossmau Buck Kitchen and Congressman Pearson. All these me watching developments. Some of the Democrats, particularly Watson, nominee for governor, have been enthusiastic for fusion. Dr. Mott, ex-chairman of theNational Silver party, says that if the 25,00;) fu sion Democrats in North Carolina will j not co operate with the Populists, they can go and root with the Republicans. THE DATE CHANGED. mVAYE IS STILL ON Mr. Smith Will Not Leave the Cleveland Cabinet. THE PRESIDENT WRITES TO HOKE Many Deaths and Prostrations Are Reported.

Washington, Aug. 11 —It is said hero that Secretary Hoke Smith, Just before he left Washington to join his family at Lincolnton, N. C., received a letter from President Cleveland declining to accept Mr. Smith’s proffered resignation of the interior department portfolio. Whether tho president accompanied this by an explanation of his own position, or even whether ho made any comments upon tho position assumed hy Sec retary Smith, cannot he . learned. It seems, however, to he now as sured that if Secretary Smith leaves the cabinet it will he by his own volun tary action, and that the president does not propose by anything that he may do, to help the sliver men make a martyr of Smith. It is still possible that Mr. Smith may deem it incumbent upon him to compel the acceptance of his resigna tion should President Cleveland hy any public utterance directed against the supporters of the Bryan and Sewall ticket place Mr. Smith in an awkward position. It can be stated positively that there is no foundation whatever for (lie sng- gesiion that Mr. Lamont is considering the possibility of severing his relations with the president. NO UNEASINESS IS FELT. TWELVE KILLED IN NEW YORK BRYAN PTE HOARSE In No Condition to Make His Speech of Acceptance. TALKED TOO MUCH ON THE ROUTE j gross 1 i tho North • nrollnn Itopubllran Committee Will Meet on Aug. 15—Other Newi. Rai.kigh, Aug. 8.—Chairman Holton of the Republican state committee has changed the date of its meeting from Aug. 11 to Aug. 15. This change at tracts considerable attention and tho remark is made that it is probably done to give the Republicans the last hid for Populist support. The negro Republi can chairman of this congressional dis trict says he knows only two negro Re publicans unwilling to vote for McKin ley; that while a good many Republi cans are in favor of free silver they want it through their party only. The Sixth district Democrats will nominate Janies A. Lockhart for con- by acclamation. Cyrus B. Watson, Democratic nomi nee for governor, was here Friday. He says he does not intend in his campaign to refer to state issues, as ho believes the people know all about them, hut that he will devote his whole time to national issues. The official Republican organ says f enator Pritchard was instructed to vote >r free silver aud will doubtless vote >r it when it is presented as an in- dependent proposition during his term, hut that he is now on the St. Louis plat form. John R. Webster, member of tho i Democratic central committee, declares in his paper that by tho action of tho state committee, in declaring for elec toral fusion with tho Populists, the Democratic party has put the patriotism of Populists to the test. The secretary of the Raptist state mission hoard says that at the Baptist association he linds all tho Democrats favor electoral fusion, and that the peo ple are closer together than since the war, hound together by silver. He says that the churches wore formerly split by politics, but that free silver has healed the breach. The intense heat has checked work on the railway from Wilmington to South- port. Nineteen men were prostrated by heat there Friday. RIOT NEAR CHARLESTON. fclx NV(jrorH Mow nr I.cn Scrimiily Hurt. 'Hoi Itiiigtriiilcr* Ai-t-w«tc<l. Chaki.kstox, Aug.

Chattanooga, Ang. Jl.—Tha Tradcs- i man's southern correspondents report j considerable injury to the cotton crop j on account of tho drouth and protracted ! heat. The same cans's produce dopros- ! sien in mercantile and industrial circles, but no uneasiness is being felt, as activ ity will bo the immediate result of a change in the weather. Merchants and manufacturers are very much encour aged as to the outlook. Dullness still cliaracteriaes iron and steel, hut tho markets are loss demoralized in tone, siii'-e it has been decided to maintain prices for this month.

The Pittsburg reception committee, headed by Chairman Howley, called at the hotel at 7 o’clock, and five minutes later the procession started for tho union station. There was no brass band to speed the parting guests, but a good sized crowd had gathered in front of tho hotel to catch a glimpse of tho ‘‘boy ora tor.” When ho made his appearance a lusty cheer went up. Ho looked tired aud sleepy, and it is little wonder after the ordeal ho has passed through since last Friday. All along the route to the station the party was greeted with cheers. The crowds had gathered at the depot, and as the distinguished party hurriedly embarked on tho waiting train tho party was given a rousing send-off. Tho day express is a fast train and will make but few stops on tho eastward journey. Between Pittsburg and Al toona tho only stops are Greensburg, La- trobe and Johnstown. Tho Pennsyl vania Railroad company, over which the Bryan party traveled from Cnicago to Pittsburg, furnished special parlor and sleeping coaches for the party and did all that was possible to make every one feel safe aud comfortable. The run was made through a portion of four itates without accident or delay, and though the stops were frequent, tho train arrived at Pittsburg but a few minutes behind time.

Ho is quite hoarse, and if ho does not monel his vein be.oro Wednes day night, it will materially effect tho force of his anticipated speech at Madi- ion Hqnaro garden. Mrs. Bryan also shows evidences of overexortion of the voice, and is quke hoarse, hut what most worried her was that during her stay in Pittsburg sho advanced, of tho improvement of lost the engagement ring given her by harbor of Ooatzocea L.cez, tlio At.a Mr. Bryan when ho won her in 1884.

The rail enclosure was filled with jubilant and clamorous men and women, while the streets outside the re straining foiioo were packed full of peo ple for a distance of two blocks or more. Hundreds of Bryan badges were soon. There w ts one group of IKK) workmen from the railroad shops that constituted but a very small proportion of tho ag gregate gathering. The crowds surged around tho trail and tho scramble for recognition by the distinguished visitor was as intense as only rugged workmen could make it.

Owing to tho condition of his voieo aud his desire to retain iu a measure his power of speech, Mr Bryan declined to speak, although he was manifestly greatly pleased hy the demonstratior.
