Ho was introduced by Wharton Barker. “I am glad to bo here this after noon,” he said, “because my friends, the newspapers, have been so industri ously circulating the idea that I am a Skind of wild man from Borneo that I want tho people to see me as I am. I “want j'on to got a look at this anarchist ‘from South -Carolina. The e newspa pers, owned by shylocks, tell you day by day that Governor Altgcld and Sen ator Tillman wrote the Chicago plat form and their own knowledge of tho lie docs not bring the blush of shame to their cheeks. So I come before you to tell you something about tho Chicago platform and anarchy, and I shall bo glad if you will give me your atten tion ” “Whenever any man in history has had the courage to defend the common people,” ho said, ‘ they call him an an archist. In later days tho term has been applied to Jefferson and Jackson and many of you will remember that the slave holders of the south referred to Abraham Lincoln as an anarchist. So I do not resent the tit.e. I only want to tell you what sort of an anarchist 1 am—just how I am looked up ni in my ■own state of South Carolina. 1 was born and brought up there and I think wifi l ave some faith in what my neighbors think of me—neighbors who have known me all mv life.” The speaker told the story of his ca reer ut some length; how he had become tho champion of the ma-scs against the classes and had defeated the ancient aristocracy of his state. Leading up to the election to tho sen ate he asked with passionate vehemenci : “And what uul 1 do when I renchca Washington? I got there with every bunk, every newspaper and every rail road in my state against me. Did I soli out to the money powers, as it is fash ionable to do? "Did I crawl on my stomach to Gro ver Cleveland for patronage, as 1 was expected to do? No; I asserted my man hood. I said that Grover Cleveland was ja traitor. I proved his corrupt dealings with the Morgan syndicate 'and I asked |for his imoeachincut. Then every boot (licking editor of a shy lock paper in tho country called me a blackguard and heaped on me worse names than had won mo their displeasure.” IT WAS LOADED.- Senator Ilutler Keturns From Hi* Confer- ei co With Tom Wat-on—The Keport I Iiat Democratic anil Populist Chairmen Jla.l Agreed on Fusion In This Slate I» Denied—Claims of the Republicans. Raleioh, Sept. 5.—Senator Marion Butler has returned to North Carolina and the Populists are jubilant over the cordial conference between Tom Wat son and himself. Senator Butler has thoroughly fa miliarized himself with tho situation iu Georgia, and will advise the leaders in that state as to what tactics they had best adopt. Ho has compared the con ditions with tho si'uat * iu North Carolina, and it is stated that the Popu lists will agree to no fusion which will make them cast their ballots for Sewali. It has been asserted that the 1’ 'nulist and Democratic chairmen had u<. aally arranged tho matter in North Car Vina, but tliis is denied.

As it is now, however, it is said tl at the only fusion Senator Butler w dl agree to is the Bryan and Watson ticket. He wishes Sewali withdrawn and will not agree for his party to support bin . The situation iu this state is growing interesting. A great light is brewing on Senator Pritchard by tho Populists. While the latter are divided on the ques tion of fusion with tho Republicans, these who take tho view of Senator Pritchard appear to bo largely in tho majority.

Dciuocralii Deny i'liat They Will Glvo Way to tho l > <ipulUt«. Raleigh. Sept. H.—There was a ru mor here which was quickly caught up at Republican headquarters that Demo crat c State Chairman Manley had re quested four Democratic congressional nominees to withdraw in favor of Pop ulists. This was pr unptly denied at Democratic headquarters. It was said, however, at these headquarters that if E. T. Pou, Democratic nominee in this district, would withdraw in favor of Strowd, Populist, it would settle all friction in the state, and that Pou’s not withdrawing was holding off electoral fusion; that it would also settle the election of Kitchen, Democrat, in tho Fifth district, and cause the withdrawal of Fowler, Populist, iu the Third dis trict; that the matter of Pou’s with drawal is discussed all over the state by Democrats. “I tell you, Populists and Democrats in this state are for electoral fusion wherever I have been, and I hearnodis- rent from this view. Nothing which Democratic and Populist speakers dis cuss meets with so much favor as argu ments iu support of electoral fusion.” Simmons was asked if there was any thing in the talk that Sewali would be taken down in North Carolina, and re plied: “No; such an idea was never en tertained for a moment.” Populist Chairman Ayer was asked what was going to bo done r.s to elec toral fusion. He replied: “We will certainly not fuse with Re publicans. As to fusion with Demo crats, I am not ready to express an opin ion.” Chairman Manley, when told of the Populist demand for four congressmen, and asked if it would be considered, re plied: “I have nothing to say at present. I think it is u matter for the considera tion of each oongressional district, and | I do not yet know what they will say about this. I have not called our state commit tee to meet nor have I any idea of call ng it at any definite time,” THE CUT RATES. Hallway < ommUHiin Issue* an Order to lielllserent Llues. Raleigh, Sept. 8.—Tho railway com mission has sent the following order to the officials of the Seaboard Air Lino, Southern railway, Atlantic Coast Line and Capo Fear and Yadkin Valley rail roads: "It appears from press reports that re- ! duced rates have again been ordered to ! be put into effect from certain points | outside of this state to certain competi tive points within, clearly causing a dis crimination and in violation of tho ‘long and short haul’ clause of tho act creat ing the interstate commerce commis sion.

The commission will meet on Satur day, Sept. 12, to hoar any objections to this order of the cammission. Tell* Dl* People of ttio West That tho Fast Is ns Much Stirred Up a* They.

Omaha, Sept., 8.—William Jennings Bryan began his speechmakiug at G:45 at tho little town of Pacific Junction, la. Ho had retired late, but at nearly every station they passed, the crowds gathered and tho nominee was routed from Jus bed, many times to speak and shako hands with tho crowds. At Pa cific Junction of tho residents had gone to the depot before breakfasting to see and hear the Democratic nominee. A baggage truck has placed beside tho car and Sir. Bryan mounted it and said: Ladies and Gentlemen: Wheirl started east I knew our people out here were all right, but I did not know how they might be < own there. I found* however, t hey were a.lvAYJ As much stirred up down there as you are out here. All over this country those who toil and are engaged in the productive industries are interested in having enough money to do business with, and those who have money instead of property and want to make dollars rise in value are opposed to it. I i believe we have more people on our side j Ihan we have against us. I have the | greatest respect for financiers, but I be- j lievo the best financier is the man who at- | tends to his own business and lets the i people have something to say in the run- j niiig of the government. If the financier i has the eyes to see how the question con- j corns him, he has the right to use his vote ! as he sees fit, and you have just as much I rig lit to sea how it affects you. Toe gold standard means that thed il- j Inr will buy more and more all the time j and the prices will fall and falling prices j mean hard times. Debts do not fall, how- j ever, an i consequently the expenses must he decreased and as the living expenses j decrease so is the prosperity of the mer- i chant decreased, and I know no way to re- | store prosperity except by increasing t he ] •wer of the people to consume, and the j i.dy way you can do that is to enable j them to get more for what they produce | th in they have Ixsen getting.

The first crowd to greet the nomiueo in his own state was at Plattsmouth, wher ' 5 m citizens welcomed him with hearty cheers and tooting of horns.

London, Sept. 8.—Tho secretary of” Sir Matthew White Ridley, secretary of state for tho home department, has written a letter in which ho states that Hie home offl a* only followed tho usual practice in liberating tho Irish dyna miters on the report that any further detention would endanger their health. Tho Times says iu an editorial on tho subject of the release of the Irish dyna miters that it is bound to accept Sir l Matthew White Ridley’s explanation, j but it demands tho publication of the medical testimony upon which the do- vision was based. ( “It is nist tho business of the govern ment,” says Tho Times, “to deal with dynamiters as if they were patients at a German health round. We do not hesi- , tato to say that if they are really luna- I tics they might bo placed under proper I restraint, and not loosed upon tho coun try, as an act of clemency or charity.” Arkansas Democratic by llig MhJ >rity. Sr. Louts, Sept. 8.—A special to the Post-Dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., says: J. Carroll Armstrong, chairman of the Democratic state central commit tee, says that the indications tiro that j 165,GOO votes were cast at the election. | The combined vote of the opposition I reached 50,000, giving a majority of 03,- ! 000 for the Democratic state ticket. The campaign was fought on finan cial lines, tho Democrats standing for free silver and tho Republicans for tho single gold standard. This is double tiie majority tho Democrats received at the elections two and four years ago. Says Ho Wrecked the Seamen’s, Street Hallway Employes’ and Mineworkers’ Unions—A Letter That Creates a Sensa- satinn In the Central Labor Uuion—Han na Finds One Defender. New York, Sept. 8.—The Central La bor union received from tho Central La bor union of Cleveland, O., a letter con taining what purports to be the labor record of Mark Hanna. Tho letter is as follows: Jacob E. Rausch, Secretary C. L. U: ])KA!t Sir—In reply to yours of the twenty-fourth hist., in which you desire to learn the attitude of M. II. Hanna relat ing to labor unions, I will say that previ ous to the Republican convention at St. Louis the C. L. U. of this city propounded a number of questions for the Republi can workingmen of this country to ask of M. A. Hanna. In that manifesto, it was charged that Hanna had wrecked the Sea men's unions of the lower bik« y-giwPg that he had simod’rff"Vue union of his ■ employes and refuses to al low them to organize now; that he hmias- : sisted in destroying the Mineworkers’ un ions of Pennsylvania; that he had at tempted to break up the carpenter’s un- ! ions of this city by employing scabs on a ! new mansion at a critical time this spring I v hen the 8-hour day was being put into I effect; that he had a strike of laborers in j the shipyard in which he is interested this | spring a d told a committee of the men, who demanded the same scale of wages paid in a competing yard, viz: $1.35 a day. that if they voted for McKinley they might receive higher wages, and dodged the issue. Neither Mr. Hanna nor any of his satel lites have dared to meet these questions and they are unanswered today. Herein Cleveland he is so well known as a labor crusher that not a solitary member of a labor organization, or in fact any other citizen, will attempt to defend the man’s malodorous record. I will add that several weeks ago Mr. Hanna attempted, through a third party, to have the president of the Central La bor union or myself, wait upon him to have a "talk,” hut his overtures were treated with the scorn that they deserved. If Hanna lias anything to say he can come bei'ore the Central Labor union and say it. lie has been challenged to do so. Yours fraternally, M. S. Haves Corresponding Secretary C. L. U. An exciting discussion followed the loading of the letter. Delegate Mc Cabe of tho Gold Boaters’ union, said it was ridiculous to pick out Hauna as a mark for abuse. "There are many big capitalists who are worse than liana. Why don’t you denounce them?” he cried. “I don’t see why Hanna should bo singled out. I object to this letter. Wo have no business to mix ourselves up with poli tics. Thjs letter is being used to make political capital for the Democratic party. Mr chairman, I move that this letter be placed oil the table.” Dqjegate Henry Meisel of the Bar tenders’ union was very much iupeused ut Delegate McCabe’s speech. “hi this case vvo must ignore the con stitution,” 1 osaid. “Hauna is an enemy «f organized labor, and it is our busi ness to show him up, politics or no politics.” The other delegates were of tho same opinion. The letter was placed on file. “Let us keep it for future reference,” said a delegate. Councillor W. Thorne, a member of the parliamentary committee, and a delegate of the Gas workers’ uuion, moved, and the congress adopted, a resolution declaring for the limitation of the work <iiy to eight hours iu all trades and occupations. E. Harford, a delegate of the amalga mated railway service, moved a resolu tion calling forth an ameudmout of tho employers’ liability act, particularly in regard to the responsibility of subcon tractors for tho extension of the period of notice of removal of tho maximum limit of compcusatiou. Tho motion was adopted. PREFERRED CHINATOWN. DIP IN M 1)1)1,Uli Populist National Committee Passes Contribution Box.

A 1’rclty Sixteen-Year-Old Girl Fouud In a Laundry. New York, Sept. 8.—Molly Weldon is young, pretty, vivacious and •'way ward Oil her sixteenth birthday, two months ago, she disappeared from her homo, 149 Cherry street, and all efforts to find her failed. Her aged mother feared she had been murdered aud be gan to mown her child as dead. A friend told tho old lady last week that he had keen Molly in Chinatown. Once more the mother renewed the search. While passing through Doyers street she saw her daughter sitting on a tal lo in a Chinese laundry, surrounded by Mongolians. Between her lips was a cigarette and she was laughing and chatting with her companions. “Oh, Molly, that I should have lived to see yoa in such a place!” cried tho mother. ’‘Come homo with me before it’s too late !” But the girl only laughed. She said she didn’t intend to have her pleasure spoiled by ever again submitting to a parent’s watchfulness. Her mother was forced to have her arrested and she was sent to tho House of tho Good Shepherd. Individual* Are Urged to Contribute On« Dollar Each—The Tarty That Derive* Fi nancial Aid From Corporation* I* Thoii Creature, Say* the Committee—Teople’t Tarty Aanailcd Front and Hear. Washington, Sept. 8.—The following address and appeal for funds has been issued from the Populist headquarters^ To Every American Patriot: The People’s Party, as its name im plies, is theichampion of tho masses who labor and produce wealth. It was sum moned into existence by industrial con- rep tho nation. When political arena it was the only party de manding tho re-enactment of laws for the suppression of monopolies and for tho equal protection of all citizen* against the encnv-i-of corporate pr—'r. • is now the only party iu ex istence which, with individual member ship, is demanding equal rights to all and special privileges to none. The plutocratic elements that hereto fore dominated Democratic conventions and dictated nominations, are now vig orously resenting the action of the Chi cago convention which they consider an unwarranted interference on tho part of the voters. They have organized and ore now the open and aggressive allies of the gold Republicans, and with their money aud votes will do anything iu their power to defeat the will of the peo ple by tho election of McKinley, the Republican presidential candidate, whose nomination was dictated by, and whose a ministration is mortgaged to a combination of American and English monopolists and plutocrats. Tho mission of the People’s party is to restore tho government to tho people. To this end it has nominated Mr. Bryan for president and Mr. Watson for vice president, which is not only the true co-operative ticket for the silver voters of nil parties to unite upon, but which is also the best silver ticket in tiie field. Our friends must not abate one jot or title of their earnest efforts to advance the principles of the People’s party simply because another party has been forced to adopt nearly all of our principles. It must be remembered that tho control of tho national Democratic convention was obtained by the silver element of that party only through a bitter con test in each state—a contest, however, which was forced upon the j arty and leaders by the existence and rapid growth of the People’s party. To have a government of tho people, the people must have a party that in turn is true tc them through which to govern. This they cannot have if tho national committee of such party draws its campaign funds from bankers and corporations. The national committee of a party exorcises great influence on flie selection of the national officers, fpom president of the United States down to tho village postmaster. A po litical party cannot, in tho nature of t ings, remain true to any source than that from which it receives its support. Whenever a national committee, through some secret aud uuseen agency, collects large sums of campaign funds, then it is sure that that party is mort gaged to those who coutrihuto such funds. The People’s party proceeds from tho people and is of the people aud must re ceive its support from the people direct in the form of small contributions from the individual voter. Such small con tributions from the individual voters of any political party would furnish an abundant campaign fund for all legiti mate purposes. Therefore, in behalf of the people of tl»e United States, who produce wealth and pay taxes, the People’s party na tional committee appeals to all who are able and willing to do so, to contribute the sum of $1.00 to our national cam paign fund. A prompt response is urgently re quested to enable us to prosqcuto a vig orous campaign in defense of our homos and liberties that are menaced by a com bined plutocracy—tho Rothschild-Mor gan-Hanna-McKinleycombiuation light ing us in front, and the Rothschild- Morgan-Cleve and-Palmer combination fighting us in the rear. republican editorc. ’ ( ImrliMt F.mnrjr *iu|t It Ai|ilrr**<-* t hr Ohio A**n< lniioii nt Canton. . 1 .

Dr. Alabama For Hryan. Ban Francisco, Sept. 8.—Governor W. C. Oates of Alabama, who has been visiting his brother, J. W. Oates of Santa Rosa, for a number of days past, returned to his home in Montgomery on tho southern overland train. He was in congress 14 years and knows both Bryan and McKinley. “Alabama will give her electoral vote to Bryan,” said Governor Oates. “The gold Democrats aud Republicans, however, may fuse ou emigres meu and give tho regular Dem ocrats a third vote.
