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.

j R m.eioh, Aug. 1-.—The whole fabric
of Populist-Democratic electoral fusion,
1 as planned by the Democratic state con-
' cntion July 13, seems tottering to its
♦all. 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.

Hiti Relation* With the 1‘reildcnt.
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.

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.

Ni:w York. Aug. (».—James Phillips,
2“ years old, whose father is said to bo
Samuel J. Phillips of North Carolina,
how a resident lawyer of Washington,
and who was solicitor general under sor-
end Republican administrations, was ar
rested Wednesday morning, and later
was indicted for forgery. He iseharged
with having forged to a check the nanio
of Rev. Dr. John Paxton.
The ai rest was made in the ofiice
of Ledoux & Co., chemists Phil
lips called at the offices of Ledoux <&
Co. ami renewed acquaintance with
a member of the firm whom he claimed
to have known while both were
students at the University of North
Carolina. Mr. Ledoux had some recol
lection of the young man, and when ho
asked to have a check cashed he turned
him over t.i Ids cashier. The cheek was
drawn by John It. Paxton on the Fifth
Avenue bank, for payable to James
Phillips. Th i young man ‘explained
that lie had known Dr. Paxton while
the latter was a pastor in Washington.
Tho cashier was suspicious, aud only
gave Phillips $5, tolling him to return
for tho balance. When the chock was
sent to tho bank it was declared to be
“no good.”
Phillips roturnod for the balance, and
was arrested. It is said that lie had at
tempted to pass the same check on other
old friends, and (hat this alleged forgery
is not the only one that has been charged
against him.

Southern Merchants ntid Maiiitfacturers
Kncouraged at the Outlook.
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. Tho demand
shows very little increase as yet. Tho
feeling still prevails that shortened pro-
duction will bring hotter prices. Tho
Gitico furnaeo at Chattanooga wasb’own
out last week and will remain idle until
the market becomes stronger.
Tne lumber market shows more activ
ity than any other lino of trade at pres
ent. Southern lumber is in good de
mand and the mills, with few except ions,
tjro busy, many reporting large orders
the season. Tho export trad* con-
fimies active and a number of mills have
I all the business in this line that they
wid take, at present prices.
There is no change in the textile in-
dustry. Trade is still quiet, though at
some points a fair demand is reported.
Curtailment of production will continue
through this month, after which, it is
expo "ted that tho southern cotton mills
will all bo run regularly and at full ca
pacity.
The following now industries are re
ported for tho week: Eectric light
plants at St. Petersburg. Fla., Kinston,
N. C., Hempstead, Tex., aud Piedmont,

accumulated effects of more than a week
of extremely hot weather are being
shown in the number of fatalities re
ported, and although the weather con
ditions are slightly more favorable than
they wore Monday, it is to lie expected
that the death roll will ho quite as largo

ing relief to those who could get within
its range, but the temperature at 9 a. m.

PrrrsmjKO, Aug. 11.—Hon. William
J. Bryan and party left Pittsburg at 7:30
a. m. on the day express over tho main
lino of tho Pennsylvania railroad and
continued their journey eastward.
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.

Well, get to work and organize this

MONOGHAN AT HOME.
About 590 people gathered at tho Ir
win station, but the train went through
I without stopping. The train arrived at
' Greensburg at 8:31 a. m. and only
stopped for about two minutes. About
j 2,000 people wore at tho station. Mr.
Bryan appeared on the rear platform
and was greeted hy a hearty cheer. Ho
I refuse 1 to speak, however, and bowed
! liis acknowledgments. Mrs. Bryan also
; came out on tho platform and shook
i lauds with a number of those present.
Jnring the stop several crooks plied a
hriviug business and relieved a number
pt citizens of their valuables.
It wgs understood that Mr. Bryaq
Would tjo little if anv speaking on tho
route to New York, tu fact, Mr. Bryan
has done what he was frequently cau
tioned hy Mrs. Bryan ho would do, that
is, he has talked himself hoarse before
he reached New York, and Tuesday
morning lie was practically forced to re
strain his inclinations toward volnbilitv
and enter upon a system of vocal cnl- 1
cure. 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.
When the Bryan train reached La-
trobe about 200 people greeted tho can
didate with a shake of the hand. It is
understood that if any talking would
be found necessary during tho day it
will fall to tlio lot of Mr. Bland to do it.

Approaching Johnstown, Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Bland were escorted to the roar
platform by the committee in charge
for the purpose of permitting Mr. Bland
to iiftrodnco Mr. Bryan to the large
crowd of people who were assembled to
greet them. Mr. Bland attempted to
make a litt'e speech. He said:
Fellow Citizens:
I am glad to see that even in staid Penn
sylvania large crowds can lie assembled.
Last night at Pittsburg fully .V»,0hi peo-
tdc were in the streets and at the opera
ilOtlHC.
Mr. Bland succeeded in getting no
further ii) his remarks. The people
wanted to see Mr. Bryan aud not to lis
ten to any talk. Their shouts and cries
drowned tho spooohmakiiig aud Mr.
Bland desisted from his effort, simply
iiitroduring Mr. Bryan to the people.
The demonstration was enthusiastic, as
usual, aud during the five minutes stop,
handshaking and fraternal greetings
and congratulations wore indu god in.
The train moved off amidst a shout of
cheers and enthusiasm.

passed Oresson at 10:30 a. m., all the
party except Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, aud
Mr. and Mrs. Bland occupying the open
observation car. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
aud Mr. and Mrs. Bland remained
within the closed coach. Several hun
dred people visited tho train aud shook
hands with Mr. aud Mrs. Bryan.
Altoona was stirred up somewhat
over tho passage of Mr. Bryan througli
tho city aud several thousand people
were at the station to give him a cordial
welcome. 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. Mr. Bryan shook hands
with as many as possible during the fix j
minutes' stay. Cheers wore continuous
and persistent demands were made for
a speech.
Mr. Itrjran Greatly l‘t«i**eil.
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.
In his stead Mr. Bland responded by
saying:
Lndi -m and Gentlemen:
Drinoiistrat(fins such as these have
great political signlflcniiro. They show
that the ni o|ile are rising In their might.
