Chairman Manley of the North Carolina democratic state executive committee last night replied to the letter of Senator Butler regarding fuston. Senator Butler proposed fusion as follows: Electors—Democrats, 6; Populists, 5. State officers—populists, gov- ernor, treasurer, superintendent of public instruction; democrats, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor, attorney gen- eral, United States Senator. Or democrats, governor, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction; populists, lieutenant governor, treasurer, secretary of state, au- ditor, United States Senator. Congressmen—Populists, first district, fourth district, sixth district, seventh dis- trict; democrats, second district, fifth dis- trict, eighth district, ninth district; third district to be left open for a free fight. Judges—Each party one supreme court judge. County officers—The two state executive committees to use their good offices to secure a fair and honorable division of county legislative candidates between the two parties on an equitable ratio similar to the above division of state and con- gressional offices. The democrats had only proposed fusion on the electoral ticket. Mr. Manley, in his reply, says he regarded the memorandum from Senator Butler as Private and did not submit it to his com- mittee. He says: “In further answer to your communica- tion I would respectfully say that the ex- ecutive committee of the democratic party made this proposition for electoral fuston in perfect good faith, and we still express the hope that our inability to come to any satisfactory arrangement to the extent and in the manner you propose will not be al- lowed to stand in the way of some just ar- rangement by which Mr. Bryan, the nom- inee of the democratic, populist and silver parties, shall receive the united support of these organizations. “Its failure to have one electoral ticket for Bryan may result in Mr. McKinley's re- ceiving the entire electoral vote of North Carolina, although he receives many thou- sands less of the popular votes at the polls than may be received by Mr. Bryan. It may be that the loss of the electoral vote of North Carolina will result in the elec- tion of McKinley and the fixing of the gold standard upon the people for four more years. It was to avoid the posstbility of such a result that the democratic executive committee made its proposition of July 31 for electoral fusion, presented it in a more definite shape at its meeting on the 10th of August and now again presses its accept- ance upon you. “There is also a warm and sincere desire on the part of the democratic party that the prospect of the financial reform legis- lation demanded in the Chicago platform, and reélierated in the national platform of the people's party in the event of the elec- tion ef Bryan, shall not fail because of the want of a majority for silver in the na- tional House of Representatives, and to that end every effort on the part of all par- ties believing in silver should be directed to the defeat of gold standard candidates in every congressional district in the state, and if at any time hefore the election in any congressional district there should be running for Congress two silver candidates the representatives of our respective ‘paf- ties and the division of the silver vote thus brought about would make probable the election of a gold standard candidate, I believe it would become our duty in some honorable way to meet the situation so as to prevent this result. - +o+ THE INDIANAPOLIS CONVENTION. Official Cail Issued by the National Democratic Excentive Committee. The executive committee of the national democratic party at Indianapolis yeste day afternoon sent out to every member of the national committee the official call for the national convention. Each member of the committee was also instructed by tele- graph to wire the executive committee the names of delegates as soon as they’ are chosen. The committee expects to have the delegates selected listed by the 26th of August, the day before the Texas conven- tion meets. It has been decided to invite Bourke Cockran of New York to deliver a speech at Indiaaapolis during the conven- tion. Other prominent democratic speakers will also be asked to tallk. The executive cemmittee at its meeting *at Chicago Monday will likely recommend to the rational committee that officers for the convention be selected in advance of the convention. A number of men of national prominence have been s0- licited to submit drafts of platform for the consideration of the committee on plat- form. Secretary Carlisle will be consulted in reference to the financial plank. Chairman W. D. Bynum of the executive committee sai “The reports from all the states indicate that the attendance at the convention will be beyond the expectation of the men who started the movement.” The joint committee representing the Commerefil Club and board of trade of In- dianapolis in the matter of securing and providing for the national gold democratic convention in Indianapolis met in the Com- mercial Club assembly room yesterday af- terncon. The following subcommittees were appointed: On finance, I. $. Gordon, R. O. Hawkins, Charles Mayer, I. E. M Gettigan and A. Kipp; on decoration, K« ward J. Berterman; on arrangement of Tomlinson Hall, Arthur Bohn, Major Tay- lor and A. A. Barnes; on badges and tick- ets, H. S. New, William C. Bobbs and J. E. McGettigan. ‘The Grand Hotel was selected as head- quarters during the convention. ee ONE REUNITED COU) ‘TRY. Major McKinley's Address to a Visit- ing Delegation of Old Soldiers. Two hundred of the members of the 104th Ohio Regiment called on Major McKinley at Canton, Ohio, yesterday. William Mone- ghan made some remarks to Major Mc- Kinley on behalf of his comrades, and Major McKinley, in response, delivered a speech, the keynote of which was the pass- ing of sectionalism and the steady rise of a national sentiment and pride. Major Mc- Kinley said in part: : “There are now thirty-five years from the beginning of the war and thirty-one or mcre from its close. The bitterness of the war has long since disappeared. ecticnalism has given place to national spirit, and patriotism has smoothed the asperities of partyism, while the preserva- tion of the national honor constitutes the great aim and purpose of all patriotic American citizens. (Loud cheering.) It !s net, my fellow comrades, what we say of ycu, as Mr. Lircoln put it at Gettysburg; it is what ycu did which will live. You have given to yourselves a great name and your children a great and rich legacy because you served in the holiest cause which man- Kind ever enguged in—the cause of the Union, of freedom and of civilization, a cause which has done #0 much for man- Kind everywhere. What we want to jo now is to take care of the future. You can- not upbraid yourselves for any lack of patriotism in the past. The future is now our trust and in our keeping, and let us see to it that the government which was preserved through your valor and the mil- licns of your comrades shall be preserved forever (tremmendovs applause); preserved not cnly to the present, but to those which are to come hereafter.” ++ A Diamond Robber Confesses. Irving Marks, the alleged diamond rob- ber, confessed at Narragansett last night that all the diamonds found in his office at the Revere House were stolen. He admit- ted that he robbed Graymore, in Atlantic City, July 13. Two watches stolen by Marks were pawned in Newport. One belonged to Mies Sarah Jackson of Washington, and the other to Miss Harrietta Richard of Richmond. The police have located his confederate at Monctown, N. J. BUTLER IN CONTROL ——_>—_U REPUBLICANS ON THE SEATE TICKET Se eee i Representative Harry Skinner Pro- tests Bitterly:’ ——- GUTHRIE FOR GOVERNOR —>—___. The North Carolina populist state con- vention met in Metropolitan Hall, Raleigh, yesterday. Senator Marion Butler called the convention to order and named L. C. Cald- well, mayor of Statesville, as temporary chairman. After the announcement of the various committees and vice presidents, on motion of Senator Butler, the convention took a recess of two hours. There were no contests, and the report of the credentials committee provoked no discussion. Congressman Harry Skinner was made permanent chairman. He said the popu- list party had swallowed the democrats, compelling them to adopt a populist plat- form and name a populist for President. He declared the two great aims of the populist party were free silver and local self-government, and, if necessary, to at- tain these he was willing to fuse with the democrats on national matters and with republicans on the state ticket. He by declaring that the white men mu: in North Carolina. The Platform, The platform adopted affirms the St. Louis platform, indorses the new election law and ccunty government system, de- clares for the establishment of a reforma- tory for young criminals and an improve- ment in the public school system; de- nounces the lease of the North Carolina railroad and the democratic. state adminis- tration; demands the passage of laws pro- hibiting gold contracts of any kind; rec- ommends a non-partisan judiciary; de- nounces the removal of cases by corpora- tions from state to federal courts; demands a reduction in all salaries of officials; de- mands a constitutional provision prohibit- ing the sale or lease of competing lines of railroads, and demands the passage of @ law prohibiting railroad companies from giving, and public officials from receiv- ing, free passes. It was unanimously adopted. Senator Butler made a brief speech in the afternoon, speaking of his reception in the Senate. After the platform was adopt- ed, it was resolved, amid much confusion, to proceed at once to nominations for state officers, Senator Butler calling the pre- vious question. ‘A delegate from Craven offered a resolu- tion that the populists fuse with the re- publicans on the lines of 18M, but it was, on motion of Senator Butler, promptly tabled. Major Gathrie Nominated. Major William A. Guthrie of Durham and Dr. Cyrus Thompson, president of the State Farmers’ Alliance, were put in nomination for governor. The fight was yery bitter, but resulted in a victory for Guthyfe by a vote of 797 to 321. Guthrie made a brief spect ace nomination. As soon pling the s the cheering had subsided $ ator Butler stepped to the platform and nominated for Heutenant goy: or Colonel Oliver H. Dockery of Richmond, the most prominent republican in the state, who wa: defeated for the nomination for governor in the republican convention by sty a traction of a vote. He moved that the nomination be made by acclamation. The convention rang with cheers. Just as the chairman was putting the mo- tion to nominate by acclamation, Col. Harry Skinner forged to the front an 1 rolled up his sleeves. “I object,” he said in a rear. It was a dramat scene, as he went on to defy Senator Butler, who, he said, was try- ing to nominate a mongrel ticket, and turn the state over to the democrats. Dr. Cy. Thompson came forward and made a hitter Speech against Butlor. Skinner made a motion to adjourn, and was making a great fight on it when Butier stepped forward, took the motion to adjouin out of his hands, and passed it himseit The convention reass-iniiled at §:/s) o'clock. After a fight of two he nominated for lieutenant governor, over Melborne, by a vote of 784 to Dr. Cyrus Thompson, who was defeated tor governor, was nominated for secretary of state.

Practica!ly so much information is con- veyed in a letter written by the general to his old friend, Daniel Ransdell. Mr. Ransdell said yesterday that the general had written him that his understanding was that the cammittee would want his services about the beginning of Septem- ber, but Capt.

The gold standard organizations of Pine Bluffs and Little Rock, have taken the matter up, and a date’for the con- vention will be announced later. Protracted District Conventions. A special from Three Rivers, Mich., says that the deadlock in the republican con- gressional convention was broken yester- day afternoon, and N. S. ‘Hamilton of Niles was nominated on the 446th ballot. The final vote stood: Hamiltén, 39; B. F. Heckert, Paw Paw, 13; Augustus Jewell, Dowagiac, 10; Henry F. Thonyas, Allegan, 12. The friends of Judge R,'}%. Pealer of Three Rivers broke to Haniilton on the 340th ballot. The convention‘had balloted for two days. The eleventh congressional“district con- vention at Reed City, Mich., adjourned at midnight after taking 361.allots with- out an election. On the 35@t%& Congress- man Avery had 17; Leet, 11; Dodds, 5; Comstock, 9; Mosick, 5. ji West Virginia Democrats. The West Virginia democratic conven- tion at Wheeling last night nominated T. R. 8. Riley of Wheeling for attorney gen- eral; Virgil A. Lewis, superintendent of schools; John H. Holt, for supreme judge. The proceedings were rather turbulent. At 9 o'clock Chairman Clinton stated that the state committee could not arrange an electoral ticket with the populists unless it was given plenary powers to deal with the populists. A resolution conferring such power on the committee was read and adopted and the convention adjourned sine die. ——_—-+ e+ ____ _ Engineers Break Down.

He Goes Farthest North, but Does Not Reach the Pole—Brought Back by the Wiudward. In confirmation of the dispatch in yester- day’s Star announcing that Nansen, the ex- plorer, had been heard from, the Verdens Gang, a daily newspaper of Christianta, Norway, has received the following tele- gram from Dr. Nansen: “‘Home safe after fortunate expedition. i ‘The newspaper-Dagensnyheter of Malmo, Sweden, has received communications from Dr, Nansen and Lieut. Schotthansen from the Island of Vardoe. These communications state that they abandoned the Fram in the autumn of 1895 and resorted to the ice. The steamer Wind- ward. carrying supplies to the Jackson- Harmsworth expedition, picked them up near Franz Josef Land. They expected that the Fram would eventually drift to the east coast of Greenland. Dr. Nansen failed to reach the north role, but Le touched a point four degrees rearer than any other explorer has done. Dr. Nansen left the Fram on March 14, 1895, in 84 degrees north latitude. He traversed the polar sea to a point 86 de- grees 14 minutes north latitude, situated north of the New Siberia Islands. No lond was sighted north of 2 degrees of latitude o> thence to Franz Josef Land, where he passed the winter, subsisting on bears’ flesh and, whale blubber. 3 Dr. Nansen and his companion are in the best of health. The Fram is expec Vardo or Bergen shortly. She stoo ice well. There were no sick pers aboard when Nansen left her. The steamer Windward took letters for Nansen when it started to the relief of the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition, as Mr. Jackson expected to find Nansen, and was convinced that his idea of drifting across the pole in the ice was impracticable. He was also convinced that Nansen would re- turn in the direction of Franz Josef Juand. ‘The Windward left Vardo for Franz Jo- sef Land in order to bring back the Brit- ish expedition, June 28 last. The attempt now in progress by the Jackson Harmsworth expedition commenced in July, 1404. The Windward took the expedition to Franz Josef Land, where depots were established, preparatory to the march northword. Windward retu-ned and was on her second trip to Franz Josef Land to bring back the expedition when the news has been flashed from Norway that she has returned to Vardo wita Dr. Nansen. & ‘There 1s a discrepancy between Dr. Nan- sen’s claim that he touched a point four degrees nearer the pole than any other explorer has done, and the statement that he traversed the Polar sea to a point 86 degrees 14 minutes north latitude. The furthest point north heretofore reeched was a little island in latitude 3 degrees 24 minutes, reached by I.ockwood and Brainerd of the Greely (1881) exped!- tion. the ns - toe MR. BRYAN’S STUMPING TOUR. lt Will Begin About September 1 and win tinue Until Election. Mr. Bryan dined at the Windsor Hotel, New York, last evening, and afterward continued the conference with those mem- bers of the national committee who are in the city. One of the things which were de- cided upon at the meeting was that Mr. Bryan will travel the country over, a¢ dressing the crowds from the rear of a railroad car. An announcement to this effect was pre- pared by Chairman of the National Com- mittee Jones. It is as follows: “It has been decided that Mr. Bryan will enter actively into the campaign about September 1, and continue on the stump until the election. In order to obtain much needed rest, and to prepare the letter of acceptance ‘before une speecnmaking be- gins, he will spend the next two weeks at some quiet place, not yet decided upon. The visit to Bath, Me., will therefore be postponed until the latrer part of Septem- ber, when Mr. Bryan will make a number of Speeches in New England.” Mr. St. John stated that he did not know when Mr. Bryan would leave the city. Mrs. Bryan returned to the St. John resi- dence after the dinner at the Windsor, and remained in seclusion during the remainder of the evening. Mr. Bryan returned to the house for the night shortly before mid- night. — +e — FILIBUSTERS LEAVE GEORGIA. ‘The Tug Dauntless Sailn From Bruns- wick With Men and Arms. A Brunswick, Ga., dispatch, sent last night, says: A Cuban filibustering expedi- tion undoubtedly left this port last night. On Tuesday night the tug Dauntless of this port, the fastest tug In southern wa- ters, discharged her ballast on the dock here. That night four wagon loads of stores and boxes were put abjard. Seventy men were aboard. The owners of the Dauntless have been in Jacksonville for several days. United States Marshal Har- rell and Spanish Vice Consul Torras are here. They made every effort to appre- hend the Dauntless without success. No Official Information. Up to noon no official information had been received by the treasury officials concern- ing the reported departure of the tug Dauntless with a filibustering expedition from the vicinity of Brunswick, Ga. The Spanish legation had informed the depart- ment that a large party of Cubans had left ‘Tampa, Fla., for Jacksonville, and it was supposed the expedition would leave from that point. The customs officers and the revenue marine officers were instructed to keep a sharp lookout. he Department of Justice also instructed the marshals and deputy marshals from Wilmington, Del., to Mlorida to co-operate with the treasury officers to prevent any expedition leaving. No reports have been received from any of these officers. No information has been received as to the whereabouts of the Laurada, which has given the officials some concern for several days. ‘The report that the cutter Boutwell.which has been at Jacksonville, sailed after the Dauntless, under orders from Washington, is denied, as the department has had no information of the sailing of the Dauntless. The commander of the Boutwell has gen- eral orders which would take him in pursuit of the Dauntless, but the opinion is ex- pressed that the latter had such a start that it would be impossible for the cutter to over- take her until she was far out at sea. One of the collectors of customs has raised the peint that no matter if a vessel was beyond the three-mile limit, if she had sailed from the United States, she could be considered as upon United States soil and arrested. This view, however, is not sustained by the officials here. 200. D BILL IRISH LJ PASSED. The House of Lords Agrees Not to Op- pose the Commons. ‘The British house of lords yesterday dis- cussed the Irish land bill as it was re- amended by the house of commons. It was agreed not to oppese the lower house, and to accept all the reamendments except one, which, however, was also agreed to later by a Vote of 74 to 68, despite the opposition of the landlords. The fact that the house of lords had ac- cepted the bill was formally intimated to the house of commons, which briefly dis- cussed and finally disposed of the measure. ‘The bill will now become a law. = “DYNAMIT! a TO BE RELEASED.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP, August 13, 1896. This is the ninth day of the work of de- voted revival effort put forth by the rep- resentatives of the various Methodist churches of the Washington service, and yet-at no time has the interest and zeal in service been so strong and enthusiastic, and neither ministers nor people, nor yet the chorus, that has done such yeomen’s service during the past week of exhaustive and oppressive heat, show any of the weariness that one would reasonably ex- pect. Morning, noontide and evening the seed has been sown, and the reaping time has. come during these closing days of the camp meeting. The early devotional exercises of today were opened by Mr. R. W. Cook. A deep spirit of reverence seemed to per- vade the audience that gathered in the tabernacle to participate in the 9 o'clock testimony meeting, when the presiding el- der led the people in 2n impressive serv- ice, which was a preface to the sermon that followed, by Dr. Stitt of Dumbarton avenue. “This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise” was the text from which the eloquent preacher drew a sermon of deep spiritual meaning. The last meeting of the ladies for consecration was held at 2 p.m., under the conduct of Mrs. Clara Cohen, who read and expounded the I21st Psalm. ‘The music was directed by Mrs. Jas. Al- len, and Mrs. Davis presided at the organ. Dr. Wm R. Stricklen was called to town to attend upon the evening service at Ham- line, and was consequently absent from the Young People’s vesper service, of which he has been the inspiration. Dr. Wilson filled his place acceptably. Many testimonials were uttered. At 8 p.m. Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale of Washington preached to an overflowing congregation, who had gathered despite the threatening clouds and falling rain to hear a message from the comprehensive text, “Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost At the close of this Gospel appeal four persons sought sal- yation at the altar of prayer. Professor Henry Watson and his chorus have afford- ed pleasure on many occasions, but last evening there was apparently an excep- tional effort to delight the audience, which met its just reward. It was a veritable feast of song which Director Watson pre- sented, and every number was sung with cticn. “Let the Surshine In” and ‘Where Will You Spend Eternity?” were splendidly rendered by the grove'’s popular baritone, Mr. Wm. Palmer, and Miss Knight sang effectively and with deep pathos, “I'm Going to Beautiful City.” The evening service was protracted to a late hour, and ere its close the large au- dience pressed eagerly to the front and grasped successively the hand of Dr. Wil- son and Evangelist Snyder and Professor Wilson, and each member of the choir. lt was an affecting scene, and many eyes were glistening with unshed tears as the choir and congregation sang “We'll Never Say Good-bye in Heaven. The usual forenoon services will be held Friday. closing with the sacramental serv- ice at noon, when the Methodist camp will break up and the Salvation Army, who will arrive tomorrow, will take charge and con- duct a five-day meeting that promises to be rich in interest and experience. Most of the people will remain here to partici- pate in these unique services. Dr. W. R. Stricklen and family will teav> Friday afternoon for a much-needed rest by the sea.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Some day there will be a great accident at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street, and then the street railway company will take some kind of precaution to prevent the cars running around that corner at such a tremendous rate of speed. All the cars do not go fast, but a great many of them do. The gripman allows them to gather head- way from the time they leave the junction on G street, and they go around the curve at a rate of speed much faster than the cable. From G street the grip is not at- tached to the cable until after the cars cross 14th street on the avenue. If the grip was on the cable there would not be the danger that now exists at the corner of 15th street. The grip car cannot fly the track because {i would be held by the grip in the slot. The trailer ts held by the flange of the track. Already this flange is greatly worn, and in some burst of speed the trailer will jump the track and over it will go with ail the passengers. Similar accidents have killed many and maimed others. It looks as if it would be only a question of time when Washington will pass through the horror. A.W. D. —— Death of Mr The death of Nellie F. P. Kimball, wife of Dr. E. G. Kimball, principal of the Franklin school, which occurred early Tuesday morning, though not unexpected, was a shock to her many friends. Mrs. Kimball had }cen an invalid for four years, and for a year and a half confined to her bed. She was respected and be- loved by all who knew her, but it was to those who were near her during the last years to whom was fully revealed her sweet and womanly Christian character by her supreme patience under unusual suf- fering, her quiet resignation to the weary life of an invalid, her thoughtfulness for others, her°appreciation of efforts to add to her comfort and the brightness that she shed abcut her. Funeral services were held at her late residence, 1315 M street northwest, this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. C. C. Meador, D.D., was the officiat- ing clergyman. The interment was made at Glenwood. es William Christian Schwars's Will. A paper. dated Ncevember 1, 1895, was to- day filed as the will of the late William Christian Schwarz.

DEMOCRATS WHO WILL BE IN CONGRESS The Situation in Tom Watson's District. GEORGIA FOR BRYAN —— Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. SAVANNAH, Ga., August 189", There are, apparently, many insurmov able obstacles in the path of victory of the democrats of Georgia. Primarily, Tom Watson has deciared that he will support Wright, the prohibition candidate, whos friends stampeded the populist convention, securing him the nomination, when it would have ordinarily gone to almost any popu st of pronounced views, If there had been a good leader in the convention. The ma- Jority of the democrats of Georgia, «nd particularly of southern Georgia, will ab- Solutely refuse to vote for Sewall. The poorer class are suspicious of rich men. It 1s claimed by many that Sewall’s racy is not of the kind calculated lemoc- to in spire confidence. They believe it to be not true, but weak and, indeed, feigned. Wat- son will carry Georgia for Bryan, and, from present indications, the democrats will lose the state. Machine politics is one of the issues. The people have tired of it. Continually, it 1s politics, politics, polities in Georgia There is no doubt in the minds of well- informed people but that ihe prohibition plank will make thousands of votes for Mr. Wright, who is now stumping the state, winning votes with his eloquence, and endeavoring, it is stated, to form a f\ n with the republicans. In Savannah there is a strong and growing sentiment in fa- vor of prohibition. Positively the nanner in which the Sabbath ts desecraied is shocking. Saloons are practically wide open. The mayor of the city is one of the largest liquor dealers in the south. It has been openly charged that he cares aot for these flagrant violations of the law. His political henchmen are known have operated every Sunday since his induction into office and they have been allowed to conduct their nefarious business unmolest- ed, while ministers have be: ed for praying too loud, and oth: y erit- icised for calling attention existing evils. Col, Lester Will Ret: Col. Rufus E. Lester, who has gone to Congress twice from the first district, will surely be returned. Not that he will not Lave determined opposition, but because he will receive the votes of many popu- lists. He has always been an advocate of the silver movement now sweeping thing before it. He is also an anti-trust ran. He promptly indersed the bill now pending for the gcvernment ownership of ever’ the telegraph system.

There a any of the old- est democrats in this cou’ who have al- solutely refused to national ticket, preferring McKinh e Clay, who ad- dressed the unterrified of Henry county, is now beating around these parts He will deliver an address here; so will Watson. Mr. Wright will visit Savannah and de- liver several speeche under the auspic of the W. C. T. 1 While in Atlanta your correspondent learned of an effort to have Atkinson and Wright stump the > to- gether on the platforms ado t the state conventions of thi ppc parties. Watson and Steve Clay will travel in th northern portion cf the state and discuss national affairs. It is but just to say in all frankness that ihe demcc thins . a8 there is no comparison t and Watson nd Atkinson s written that he will take care of Watson. Despite his gol views, Mr. Smith has more influen and carries more weight with his convictions than some of those who pose and are still posing as leaders in the In Watson's District. W. H. Fleming of Augusta, nominated to succeed J. C. C. Black, Tom Watson's old opponent, is one of the best-known young democrats in the state. He will not, how- ever, poll the votes that Black did, the charge of A. P.A.-ism hav n laid at his door, despite his vigorous denial, in which his feelings got the better of him, and he was visibly affected. Tom Watson, if not oa the presidential ticket, could 4 feat him. The truth of pr is, Maj. Black never did occu eat in Con- gress legitimately. Watson got the votes and Black the count . G. Brant who is running to su Hy G. Turner, is doing good campaign work. His election 1s now assured. Fleming G. du Bignon is anxious to get a go at Wright. He met Watson once, and is not hankering after him just no’ Du Bignon is a “brick, however, and will put in good work against the populists, all of whom most bitterly de- suise him. He beat them twice. The white republicans are not in it. Buck, the leader, who lives in AUlanta, and who has invariably distributed the pa- tronage, always Janding in a snug berth himself, got his friends together recently. A white electoral ticket was put out, with the statement that the party would benefit by it. The negroes declared war imm diately. E. K. Love, a preacher of Sa- vannah, and probably the bri st negro in the south, arrogated to himself the au- thority of leader. He repudiated Buck and that clement of the party. A sta nven- tion has been called in Macon. Col. Tom Johnson of Savannah will lead the state ticket. Love is to be elector-at-large. He has secured a promise of the postmaster- ship at Savannah in event of the election of McKinley and Hobart. T. F. M. a - Marriage Licenses.
