Washington July 23 An important question that will engage the attention of the Democratic national convention committee on the return of Chairman Jones from the East is what the status of national committeemen who are openly working against the Bryan and Sewall ticket will be as regards the national Democratic committee Several national committeemen it is said are working in conjunction with the gold Democrats again the Chicago nominee One of these is Laxvier of Minnesota and already inquiries have come from Democrats of that State whether it is not in the province of the national Democratic committee to declare that vacancy exists in the committee from Minnesota The Bryan Democrats take the ground that when a national committeeman bolts the party nominee by his own act he takes him-elf outside the pale of the party and the party of the State or the national Democratic committee has the power to fill the place of the offending member by appointing some Democrat from the State in accord with the party SEND FOR US Get your soiled shirts collars cuffs etc done up in a bundle and then send here!

Answer quielf I favor your declination in that wired him as follows: entirely agree with you Withdraw my name if Sewall is not dispatches were published in this morning's papers and the convention understood my position In spite of this they have seen fit to nominate me Whether I shall accept or not will depend entirely upon what conditions are attached to it My first desire is to aid in securing the immediate restoration by the Fnited States of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation The Republican platform declares that the bimetallic system should be restored but asserts that we as a people are helpless to secure bi-metallism for ourselves until fo'-eign nations come to our assistance We cannot afford to surrender our right to legislate for our people uron every question and so long as that rierht is disputed no other question can approach it in importance I appreciate the desire manifested at St Louis to consolidate all the free silver forces and regrret that they did not nominate Mr Sewall also Me stands squarely upon the Chicago platform and has defended our cause against greater opposition than he had to meet the West amt South The Ropulist platform is on many questions substantially identical with the Chicago platform it goes beyond the Chicago platform however and endorses some policies which I do not approve of All that I can say now is that my action will depend entirely upon the conditions attached to this nomination I shall do nothing which will endanger the success of bi-metallism nor shall do anything unfair to Mr BUTLER MADE CHAIRMAN The North Carolina Senator Becomes the Head of the Populist National Committee St Louis July 23 The first meeting of the new Populist national committee was held this evening at the Lin-led Hotel and started in with as much promise for debate as was exhibited in the convention that created it This propensity for discussion was so irrepressible that one of the members call-d attention to the fact that the campaign lasted hut four months and it was important that the committee organize before that period of time had elapsed The committee was called to order shortly after 8 by ex-Congressman Lafe Pence of New ork and after much discussion the following gentlemen were placed in nomination for chairman of the committee: Senator Alarion Butler of North Carolina General James Weaver of Iowa Judge Bentley of Texas Senator Wm Allen of Xe tiraska John Breidenthal of Kan sas On the first ballot the result was as follows Butler 46 Weaver 20 Bentley 6 Allen 20 Breidenthal 10 As 61 votes were necessary there was no choice The second ballot resulted in the fdection of Senator Butler as follows: Butler 63 Weaver 10 Allen 33 Breid-entiiui 13 SOUND AIONEY DEAIOCRATS Men of Prominence and Influence Wanted for National Committeemen Chicago July 23 The executive committee of the

morning at 9 at the request of Col A Andrews who asks for a rehearing on the valuation of the North Carolina Railroad Before the commission a few days ago he insisted that the rate of valuation ought not to be higher than on other main line roads It will be remembered thatlhe commission made the rate between Selma and Charlotte $12 OOO per mile while other main lines are assessed at $10000 It is stated that the high rate was assessed because this road pays better than any other property in the State The city of Norfolk awards a contract for 3000 tons of Belgian paving blocks toMcCanless Bros

the People St Louis July- 25 The meeting of the Middle of the Road men at the Texas headquarters in the Southern Hotel to-night for the purpose of issuing an address to the people and placing Col Norton at the head of the ticket in place of Bryan was a fiasco Not more than 20 delegates responded to the call of the committee Col Norton made a speech advising the hotheads to go slowly He said: I simply say to you Texans wait until your convention on August 5th Lay the matter before them and I am ith you in any course that you may see fit to take By August 5th we will know' whether Mr Bryan will accept the nomination or not You will know whether Torn Watson is on the ticket I have no faith in the national committee It is owned body soul and breeches by the Bryan people It possesses absolute control of the Ropulist party for the next four After Col Norton left the room John Ulrich of Wisconsin of the committee appointed to wait on Governor Stone and ask for the alleged telegram from Mr Bryan reported that they had seen Governor Stone and he had informed them that in his opinion Mr Bryan did not intend to accept the Populist nomination The committee appointed to draw up an address to the American people reported and the address was laid on the table It as charged that the convention was not Populistic but was conducted in the interest and under the direction of the national chairman the Democratic party that hired emissaries were sent among the delegates to influence them by questionable means that nomination was procured by misrepresentation and the suppression telegrams of decimation from him The address recommended that in case MrIiryan does not formally accept the nomination by August 5th his silence be taken as a declination and that ITon Norton of Illinois be considered the nominee of the People's party In place of the address the rapidly-dwindling crowd of kickers adopted a resolution as follows: Resolved That we the minority known as the

the most powerful and puzzling religious revival that has ever shaken the hearts and minds of her people It began with the preaching of of some local renown by the name of Crumpler Crumpler is a native of Wayne county As a result of this craze which he created by his talk Richard Holmes a well-know citizen of Clinton was brought here last evening and placed in the Insane Asylum Holmes has lived in Goldsboro Wilmington and Clinton and is well known in the east He was at one time proprietor of the Hotel Gregory at Goldsboro Mr Holmes was brought here by Senator Fowler of Sampson and I Holmes They think that Mr mind is only temporarily effected He seemed to be completely under a spell or trance since he has accepted the teachings of Crumpler Crumpler has set the whole country wild Numbers of people have lost their reason and are complete of the craze He is a man ignorant and unattractive in appearance and manner decorating his language with much slang and many warlike gestures thereby routing from the mind every sugestion of the he pretends to preach and enthroning the he preaches He claims to have committed no sin in many years The spell he has held over several thousand nf every class to whom he has nightly preached has created the greatest sensation He claims that after conversion one must become sanctified or receive the This blessing comes to the recipients in a trance during which he is purified in the presence of Christ and after which he is incapable of sin Almost eviry night during his visit from ten to fifteen men women and children lay unconscious on the floor of the large tobacco warehouse where this apparent wizard held his court They would remain in this state for several hours at a time and awake praising God In some instances physicians were called in and numbers of them with intelligent men of all professions who at first pronounced it excitement have embraced the doctrine Several have lost their reason and one poor fellow was arrested while crawling on his hands and knees cursing the citizens and commending Crumpler His father says he has been insane since be heard this man preach a year ago Crumpler has departed with the brand of from many but the large assembly of converts who continue to hold services in several of the churches with the same weird scenes prove how effectively he has cast the cloak of his power upon his followers Crumpler has gone to Rose Hill a station near Goldsboro where he is setting forth the doctrine which he taught at Goldsboro Many people are vild over him having given up their jusiness entirely Crumpler was formerly a Methodist A leading Baptist of this city states that he has demoralized their church at Goldsboro Crumpler is described as a man of low statue rather stout build He has no beard SHELBY DISTRICT CONFERENCE Bishop Duncan Presides and Remarks Upon the Prosperous Condition of the Country Correspondence of the Observer King's Mountain July The Shelby District

Satisfied Now With the Work of the What He Thinks is the Matter With the Country He mil Be Tice President of the Whole Conntry Augusta' Ga July 25 A Southern Associated Press reportef saw Thomas Watson the Populist nominee for the vice presidency at his home to-day in Thompson Ga Mr Watson was in his shirt sleeves superintending the painting of his house He said: will -accept the nomina-tlon I yesterday wired my friends in St Louis to that effect I did it in the interest of harmony and to prevent the disruption of the Populist party which seemed imminent Under the circ*mstances I did what I believed to he best for all interests The movement for fusion was immensely greater than I had any idea of two weeks ago I was originally for a straightout Populist platform and a straightout Populist ticket but the demand for fusion was so great it" could not he withstood Total fusion or adoption of the entire Democratic ticket would have killed the Populist party As it is the integrity of the party is preserved Under the circ*mstances I fully endorse the policy pursued by the convention There is no reason why I should refuse to receive the support of a man who agrees with me in three essential principles bcause he does not agree with me in four I should rather accept his aid and thank him for it If Mr Bryan accepts the Populist nomination I believe our ticket will be hat do you base your combination ticket will carry the Solid South and West with 233 votes when 224 are necessary to a choice Besides there are Eastern and Northern States that' are debatable ground I should not be surprised to see as great a landslide in favor of free silver as we saw in 1890 and that several States that are now considered reliably Republican will go for our ticket and free silver The only difficulty in the way of the supremacy of the Populist party in the West is the Democratic party and with the votes of this party we would carry the West The only difficulty in the way of the supremacy of the Democratic party in the South is the Populist party A union of the strength of the two will carry both sections solidly fully endorse the Populist platform just adopted at St Louis There will be no trouble in reconciling the platforms of the Populist and Democratic parties The Populists will endorse tbe Democratic platform as far as it goes The only difference between the Democratic and Populist is that the goes further I consider that the Democratic partv is returning to Jeffersonian principles and I am ready to devote whatever of influence or talent I may possess to a restoration of the government of its early principles am ready to offer my services to the executive committee composed of Democrats and Populists to further the interests of the ticket Mr Bryan and I were friends in the Fifty-second Congress and I believe voted together on every measure that came before the House I have no prejudice against anv section of the Union was horn on the 5th of September 183G and therefore did not participate in the civil ar I am a Southern man in sentiment and feeljjg hut I have no sectional bitterness the very foundation of the government I think the Fast and North have been represented in Congresses by shrewd business men who have paid very strict attention to getting passed such laws as would benefit their sections I do not think that national banking laws our tariff laws our funding system have to very great extint built up the North and Fast at the expense of the South and TYest While I mould not if I could do any injury to these sections I would like to see the right thing done Tnese laws that discriminate against the South and West should he removed from thesfatute hooks Our svstem at present is in favor of wealth as against the citizen of the dollar as against the man I see no reason why the law cannot give ample proteoeion to property without doing injustice to the laborer and pro ducer and I should he happy to see a policy that would give mutual protection to each successful The South and the West practically produce all the wealth of this the East and the North practically produce none of it It is the literal fact that the producing sections accumulate little or nothing while the non-producing sections accumulate fabulous MRS NORWOOD A U'XDAY SCHOOL RALLY Special to the Observer Monroe July 25 Mrs Norwood an aged

ful entertainment last night The hand has not been organized long but they are doing excellent work NO REPUBLICAN ADVISORY COM MITTEE Cleveland July 23 Chairman Mark Hanna and Major McKinley held a conference at house yesterday and it was decided to let the executive committee of the Republican national committee run the campaign to suit themselves without the aid of an advisory committee Thus Mr Hanna establishes a precedent The New York tangle among the Platt-Bliss-Miller factions and the Pennsylvania mix-up among the Quay-Mar-tin-Magee faction is the real case of the decision It was necessary to have reports from these States on the advisory committee and as no one could be appointed without incurring the displeasure of at least two of the leaders in each State it was thought best to do away with the committee entirely Mr Hanna said I feel there is need of advice I can find plenty of recognized leaders who can easily be called together to talk the matters er and invent ways and MAJOR GENERAL BILLUPS WE SALUTE THEE Jackson Miss July 25 Two hundred white tents have been pinned down at Camp McLaurin and by Monday night that number will have been doubled and everything

COMMODORE AND COLFAX The Cutter Keeps a Keen Eye On the Filibuster Steamer Cubans Ready to Sail Charleston July were no startling developments in the filibuster case to-day At an early hour this morning she left her station and started across the harbor The cutter Colfax promptly followed her down to quarantine and there both remained until this morning: when they returned to their former positions During the day the cutter has had an officer aboard of the Commodore three times hut for what purpose it is impossible to learn as TTnited States of- ficials cannot be approached and Cap- ain Morton of the Commodore remains silent when spoken to There are nearly a score of Cubans from New York in the city who are in constant communication with the agent of the Commodore and it is thought that they are going on her it is this that the Colfax proposes to prevent THE SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS WILL BE PAID Washington July 23 The sugar bounty claims aggregating $3000000 will now probably be paid without further delay at the rate of about 54 cents on the dollar of claims filed Today Secretary Carlisle approved the decision of Commissioner Miller disallowing three claims aggregating about 000 These claims were filed by General John Seaniil Frank Webb and Walter Southon all of Alabama The ground on which they were rejected was that the law required that the man who obtains the license must also be the producer of the sugar and these did not meet the requirements of the law Sound Money Democrats Should Support Bryan To the Editor of the Observer: shall vote for These words are uttered daily by life-long Democrats right here in the city of Charlotte and it appears as if the goddess Discordia has been exciting divisions among the followers of the immortal principles promulgated by Thomas Jefferson Uach a state of affairs is to be deplored No matter how obnoxious the present platform no matter how odious the silver craze It is clearly the duty of every Southerner to cast his ballot for Bryan He stands as the representative of a party which has ever defended the people of the Southland while McKinDy is tbe leader of a party which has always advocated measures to oppress our people Reconstruction martial law and force bills are a few specimens of the rare magnanimity vouchsafed the South We shall think twice before casting ourselves in front of the Republican juggernaut although it masquerades in the golden garbs of righteousness Remember the iniquitous pension bills and how the vampires suck their sustenance from the veins of honest labor Protection of the classes and pauperizing the masses is the chief aim of the Republican party Therefore it is necessary for us to swallow the Chicago platform regardless of its nauseating effect Sound
