Delegates are expected from all the eastern States and from several of the Western. The indications are that the most sanguine hopes of the promoters of the movement will be far exceeded? To-fafght -the corridors of the principal hotels are -fiWve with the Blaine bolters.

Without an exception these men represent the better element of the Republican party of the sections from which they come. The reports which they, bring show that the movement against Blaine in the Republican ranks has been greatly underestimated. The Massachusetts men say that the anti-Blaine force is extending in their State. They estimate that the anti-Blaine Republicans would poll now fully seven per cent, of the party voter, and declare that unless there is an unforeseen check to. the movement, this will certainly be doubled before election day.

They are unanimous in their enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket. They say that a third ticket is out of the question. It was a noticeable fact to-night, wherever these Independent Republican delegates gathered to discuss the situation, they were shadowed by mwi from the headquarters of the Republican national committee. REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN FITNDS. No Escape for the Oftlee-Holdr.

Secretary McPherson of the Republican Campaign Committee, interviewed on the subject, says the Congressional Committee will not issue circulars calling for campaign funds, but has turned that part of the, business over to the political Campaign Committee. "You see," he said, "there arc people connected with the Government on this committee, and the Civil-Service law makes it a penal offence for one holding a position under the Government to contribute money for political purposes to any one occupying a similar position. It is also a penal offence for any one holding a Government position to receive political contributions. But a Government employe can contribute money for political purposes to any one not officially connected with the Government. None of the National Committee hold such relations." "So the employes will have a chance to contribute to the good of the cause he was asked.

"Yes," was the reply. "Under the Civil-Service law they can contribute voluntarily to the National "Can the circular which that committee has issuedbe addressed to them without violating the law "Certainly. But the circulars must be mailed to their houses and not to the building in which they are employed." FREE BALLOT AND HONEST COl NT. The South to be Invaded. Secretary McPherson, of the Republican Campaign Committee, says to an inter viewer: "Our backs will not be turned on i our friends in the South.

We are going to see that the votes east for us dow there are counted for us this time." "How are vou going to accomplish i that?" "We are going to send people down there to ee to it. We will also use the people already there, and otherwise, by aid oi tne law, ger mis matter aiienaea to mis time. You see while so-called Republican Independents are voting for Cleveland to purify political methods we' do not see that we should allow them to purify by stealing the votes cast for us. It is all nonsense to talk about such a reform party. If the votes were properly counted the Democratic party could not carry three States in the South.

It is simply horrible. We give them notice that we propose to have the votes cast for Blaine and Logan counted. They shall not get the Presidency by the frauds which they are so apt in manipulating. "Are any leading Republicans going Souti to speak during the campaign?" "Yes; there are leading speakers throughout the North going down there. We might as well set the question whether we have a Republican form of government in the United States at rest during this very campaign; Grant, Ward, Plnh and Eno.

New York These unfortunate bankrupts have now settled down for the summer. Mrs. Ferdinand Ward has gone to the Champion House on the Connecticut which is her own property and is described as "a big rural palace." A description of the place says there are fountain, yachts, pleasure craft, swans, flowers, in fact everything there to make a charming place more lovely aud to absorb money." Mrs. ard horses are already there, we are told, and "she will relieve her loneli- ness by taking frequent drives through the picturesque river towns about East Had-dam." Mr. Eno is enjoying a fine time in Quebec, and is so well pleased with his treatment in that quaint old city on the mountain side that he hesitates between purchasing a mansion there and continuing on his way to EuroM.

Mr. Fish contents himself with the varied luxuries of his elegant flat, taking excursions to Coney Island and other watering-places. General Grant is at Long Branch in one of his fine residences, and although his favorite horses were caught in bad company in Ward's stables, he still drives handsome teams, which he enjoys as much as his choice oigars. Colonel Andrews In the Field. fWaynesvllle News.J Colonel A.

B. Andrews, President of the Western North Carolina Railroad, arrived with his family at the White Sulphur Springs yesterday. We understand he says he has come to the mountains to stay until the lasJt rail is laid to the Nantahala river where he expects to see the last spike driven by September 1. He will leave his family at the Springs for the summer and he expects to stay with the track-laying and push it along with a vim to speedy completion. Governor Jarvis, Governor Vance and Colonel Andrews were over the road last week and inspected another ten miles of the new-laid line.

The track is now laid across Tuckasege river through the Cowee tunnel and a few miles beyond, making it about twenty-five miles from Waynesville, and within about fifteen miles of Charleston. Talk what you may, the officers of this line, both personally and severally, deserve honor and credit for the push that has been exercised in steadily driving this excellent work onward.

A struggle for life ensued for twenty minutes, but the man beat down six of them ilnd stamped them to death, then reeled and fell more dead than alive.

The seventh cat escaped. Secrist dragged himself out of the poisonous atmosphere and escaped finally, but with many scratches. Three years ago Lieutenant Greely, JJ. S. Cavalry, his companions sailed from a Newfoundland port to establish a colony in arctic ice.

One had been drowned, one had been frozen to death, and seventeen had perished by starvation. The seven survivors when found were re duced to skeletons. They were living off their sealskin clothes and must have per: Jhed in a few weeks. One of the poor fellows died after being rescued by Commander Schley.

The United States now has no living colonists in the ice of the north. After years of adventure and suffering and anxiety the field is clear. Let it remain so. Not even when it is played under favorable conditions is the game the candle. The discoveries made-try ortrexplorers and olservcrs in an uninhabitable region are but dust in the r.halance- when weighed against the unending sorrows bereatdd families, the of Jaroken'heraee, the horrible sufferings of so many worthy mep, and the gHeFof a nation.

Let there be an end of the folly. The only result that we can discover as claimed- for this last sad adventure is a 'triumph" over England; that is' to say, 1 It is proclaimed that ''For the first time, in three centuries England yields the honor of the furthest north. In March, 1884, Sergeant Long, while hunting, looked from the northwest side of Mount Carey to Hayes Sound, seeing on the northern coast three capes westward of the furthest seen by Nares in 1876. The sound extends some 20 miles further west than shown by the English chart, but is possibly shut in by land which showed up across the western end." SPECIAL TAX BONDS Derided "Worthies In New York. A decision was handed down by Judge Wheeler in the United States circuit court of New York on Friday, in the suit of Henry Louis Bishoffaheim, -of London, against Herman R.

Boltzer and Wm. G. Tajiks, who constituted the firm of New York confidential agents oi the Bishoff-sheims in 1808, The defendants purchased 100,000 0 per cent. North Carolina bonds by order of the London house. The price paid was $83,12.

The bonds were afterwards declared by the highest court in North Carolina to be illegal. The agents charged their principals for the amount in their account, which claim the London house disputed. Judge Wheeler decides that the loss must fall on the defendants, and orders, the sale to be set aside and settlement of the account: Tit for Tat. New York Herald Washington Letter. At the Democratic headquarters to-day there was a good deal of gratification expressed at reports that the bankers and business men of the East would give their support to Cleveland, and there was a good deal of talk about Secretary Folger's attitude.

Senator Beck said Folger won't open the Treasury for Blaine. It was Blaine who advised Republicans to bolt Folger when he ran for Governor of New York, and now. the Secretary is. glad of a chance to give Bkflne a dose of the same medicine.b Besides, Folger no doht wants Blaine to see-what a -I of a run- net this man.

Mr. John Bright is preparing a measure for the reform of the British House of Lords based upon the principle', of life peerages with a limited number of hereditary peerages. The populace are making prodigious demonstrations tending to universal suffrage and abolition of the peerage. Twenty-five persons were. killed and forty wounded ly the jumping- of a railroad train from a high bridge near London on Wednesday.

Tho scenes underneath the bridge after the train had fallen were most terrible to witness. The carriages were reduced almost to splinters. The groans of the men and the shrieks of the women and children were heartrending in the extreme. At a small French village named Aube-rine, in tho Department of Mre, lives a woman named Marie Durand, whose age is said to be 128 years. What is claimed to be the certificate of her baptism declares that she was born on March 16, 1761.

She belongs to the peasant class and lives on public charity. She has been a widow for 96 years, and is, therefore, probably the oldest widow of which there exists record. A Paris physician got into a scrape lately by declaring that a young lady of seven, and belonging to a family of respectability, drank. Another doctor was promptly summoned and said the same thing. The parents were in despair and incredulity.

They said that their daughter actually disliked wine. "Watch her carefully," said doctor No. 2 and a few days latej mamma caught the victim of the mysterious malady at the eau de Cologne bottle. Wild Western BXolea Ways. Burlington Free Press.

Warner D. Hatch, President of a large New York Engraving Company, committed suicide last week by stepping off a steamer into the bay. He was very rich, lived in great style, and happily in all respects. His suicide was deliberate, and all its details have reached his friends in letters mailed by himself on the steamer. All the shooting in Texas is not good.

A Richmond county mob took Webb Hel-er from the officers otr Friday, tied him to tf eo and shot him fifteen, times. They iprti'aVhim and left him for doni.

The officers are now hunting for the corpse. He had assaulted a young girl. At West Point, Georgia, on Friday, Sam Gibson, a desperate negro, outraged his daughter and was put in jail. That night a negro moo broke in and found Gibson standing against the back wall like a tiger at bay. His hands were manacled, but he "Come "and I will cut your hearts out Three men rushed upon him, when they were speedily hacked with the razor in such a way as to make them retreat.

He then advanced upon two others, cutting away at them, and giving an upward slash of the blade he disemboweled a sixth. It was evident that Gibson was not to be taken in this way, when a voice rang out, "Shoot the dog!" and intant several pistols were dischargedyand the desperado fell deadtci the" floor.

That's what the kids tell me when I'm flush and 8mokin! a two-fer, so they can pick it up. But when a lad can't take a smoke without an old chap like you wanting him to throw it away, then there's a case for pity."

He is thought to be for Cleveland. The published at his own home, and owned and edited by his personal friends, and which is supposed to represent Mr. Conkling's views, declares its intention to support the Democratic ticket. More or less interest is felt in the movements of Ben. Butler.

The friends of the doughty warrior in New York "assert that it is the intention of their great leader to make the race for the Presidency as the candidate of the new Anti-Monopoly-Greenback-Labor Party. He has gone to Boston, it is said, to prepare his address to the American people. Hon. Edgar M. Johnson, Gov.

Hoadly's law partner, tells the New York Time that he is confident that Cleveland will carry Ohio. He says he has no more doubt of it than that he will carry Kentucky. He bases his confidence largely on the division among Republicans caused by the temperance question and on the aversion of the Germans to Blaine's prohibition views and spirited foreign policy record. Among the close States in 1880, California went Democratic by 78; Connecticut went Republican by Indiana went Republican by 6.642; New Jersey went Democratic by 2,010, and New York went Republican by 21.033. In 1882 these States went Democratic by "the following pluralities: California, 23,519: Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey, 2,113, and New York, 192,854..

Kansas, Massachusetts and. Michigan also went Democratic in 1882. In its Presidential campaigns' hitherto the Democratic party has had arrayed against it the most powerful journalistic intellects of the metropolis. The illustrated press has been especially a vigorous enemy. This year the Democratic standard-bearer is fortunate in having on his side the ablest newspapers and the bnght- est caricaturist of New lork.

Here is the Press roster: For Clevelakd The World, Herald, Times, Journal of Commerce, Staats-Zeitung, Etening Pott, Graphic, Morning Journal, Truth, Telegram, Dial, New, Courrier des Etat Unit, Puck, Harper' Weekly, Life and the Independent. For Blaine The tribune, the Commercial Advert iter, The Judge, Mail and Express and Iruh World. The Republican platform is very earnest i.n its demand for protection of American citizens abroad. Naturally, one asks why the Republicans who have had possession of the Government for twenty-nve years, don't protect them. One reason is, perhaps, fhat we have no navy.

The Republicans have spent three hundred and seventy-five millions of the money of the people on the navy since the war, and we have not now more than a dozen ships fit to go to sea, and not one of those fit to show our flag to a fourth rate Power. Admiral Porter said recently that even Ilayti would laugh at us. That is one way in which the Republicans have protected American citizens abroad. They have wasted nearly four hundred millions in twenty years and left the country not a single ship worthy the name. Gen.

Butler's course excites much sjecu-lation. He has not decided upon it. He is unalterably opposed to Blaine, and would support Cleveland at once but is troubled at the notion of disbanding his 1,500,000 followers. One of the late stories is that he is willing to be completely harmonized, on the ground that he be to run as uiuoei oniy competitor I r.t in iUussucuuscus. i nis wouiu menu lue withdrawal of the Democratic electoral ticket in that State and the substitution of an electoral ticket named by Butler.

He declares that should this programme be carried out he would sweep the State from one end to the other, and render Blaine's election an impossibility. It is said that this proposition does not meet with much favor among the Democratic leaders, and that under no circumstances will they consent to any such arrangement. It is reported, however, on good authority, that a counter proposition has been made to the effect that Gen. Butler should consent to take the nojninatiqn for Qovernoj on, the Democratic and declare a his followers that while he did not agree with all the principles laid down in the Democratic platform, yet It was much preferable to the one adopted by the Republicans, and it was to their interest to support the Cleveland and Heudrioks ticket.

J. B. Batchelor In State Chronicle. At Staley's I saw a real old-fashioned North Carolinian. His jeans breeches (held up with one suspender) flapped around a pair of legs that would have furnished excellent ramrod for the long Squirrel rifle over his shoulder.

He wore 1i hat of 110 color whatever, with the brim turned down all around to shed the rain. He was gaunt and sallow, and lean and dry and his half-hound dog at his heels was as much like him as a dog can be like a man. Altogether it was a curious sight. Did I laugh at him? Not much. His old leather bag was full of squirrels and I did not see any blood except on their heads.

Any man who could kill squirrels with such a gun has my respect at least his shooting has. Instead of laughing I thought how I would like to have a regiment of just such men. They would eharge in the very jaws of death when, blood was upc 4 i of Habtt," The Greensboro Patriot aays'Kope Ellas returned from' tho Chicago convention on Monday and spent the day io town.

State Exposition has grown steadily in interest. The work originally mapped has been quietly but Actively followed, mii.1 th groat building on the Fair Grounds is woudcr to all who "see it. The door and window frames are in, and the roofing ami flooring are being rapidly laid. The ui iural opinion expressed by visitors is ik- of astonishment at its size and also at the convenient "arrangements of the interior.

The architectural effect on the east side is, somewhat lost owing to rise of the ground, which will, however, -graded to some extent. battlements and flagstaffs add much to the of the building, and the railroad running entirety through the several sections and courts will in some re spects compensate for the rather low appearance of the building on the east skte. Had it not been considered necessary to have complete railroad facilities, particularly for heavy exhibits, a more favorable location might have bijen selected. As it is, probably no ever had a more convenient arrangement of track, which is graded some three or four feet lclow the floors, so that freight upon flats and in box-cars can be ad ily removed on a just as on a depot platform. The track running into the grounds belongs to the Seaboard, line of railways.

It would be a matter of gre'jit convenience if the North Carolina liaiiroad could nlo hnve a line running into the grounds, as then freight from all places could enter without change. Tfccre should be one or two additional buildings on the grounds the officers think, but the money will doubtiesa be wanting with which to erect toem. if these buildings are needed Taud we feel jiiite sure they are, when it is considered that they would be erected af once were he money in hand), then it must be regarded as a misfortune that the work should be by the scarcity of money, wheri any reasonable amount needed should be raided readily from people here and there i' over the State. In connection with this subject of jn-cn-asi- of buildings, the first question a-ked by majority of visitors to the grounds is, Will this big building bc tilled with exhibits?" Present indications show that from the applications now on the present space will he taken up fully and more be needed. rotate Board of Agriculture will want say 12,000 Square feet, the various counties 50,000 square feet, and machinery ami mechanical exhibits the remainder of the main The remaining build ings will fully occupied by interesting and attractive exhibits.

The Exposition will be a great educator to the people of North Carolina. The managers have from its inception planned that each department should tend to produce the best educational results. Take the fanner, fbr instance; it is not merely intended that he should be privileged to see in the Exposition fine exhibits of crops of. various but to learn as much about them as so as to catch new ideas and in turn impart these facts. As a factor, in accomplishing this end, very particular attention will be paid to labelling each item shown, plainly aod care-- fullv, so that thev will convev their own explanation and show on its.

face just what it is. This is of the highest importance, and is not usually as well attended to as it should be. Then in the matter of agri-eultural machinery care has been taken to induce the very best standard machinery to enter on exhibition. To further show the methods adopted, it may be stated that a premium from the funds of the State Fair, perhaps the best ever offered in this country, will be given for the best five pounds of butter, to be shown in handsome glass cases. Our farmers and the general run of butter producers in the State need education on the preparation butter for market and to aid this it is designed not only to show how good but--) be made by.

actual demonstration of thtvfact, but further. A short article be prepared and printed on slips for (listrii)ution concerning the making and preparing for market this much needed In the live stock show, a gentleman of fine experience, who is and a-- been a regular dealer in fine cattle for ear in Pennsylvania, has agreed to act a chii of this and his sug-uet ill be of real value to all breed--r- t'oniing in contact with him. It might readily be shown how this policy is to be carried out in each department, especially with the endeavor to promote such new industries as are now known to suit the conditions of North Carolina. There is everv reuson to believe that be fore many years have passed a number of important industries, which are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to France, will be in active operation in North Carolina: snch as. the raising of silk worms and the sale of cocoons, the hop industry, as well as the manufacture of tine wines to a much greater degree than now thought of.

The Exposition is daily growing in favor ia the State from the trana-mountain country to the sea coast, and Is attracting attention in many parts of the North and the great West. Let every man, woman and child wishing well for our much loved State lend it a helping band, so that the greatest results may be accomplished. REGISTER ADVERTISERS. School. St.
