1t has always been customary in the South
since the present administration went
into power, to make wholesale arrests OF
Southern Democrats just previous to Presi-
Dental elections: That work has already
commenced in North Carolina, as the fol.
lowiny dispatch from Raleigh in that State
will show:
Warrants have besn issued by United
| States officials for the arrest of Gen. W. K.
Cox, Solicitor of the Fourth District, and
| Chairman of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, and the Commissioners of the
county Of Robeson, on trumped-up charges
Of having "conspired to defeat the will OF
the people at the election held for delegates
to the State Constitutional Convention"

The Hon. r. II. Dana does not think j,

the President is indignant at Ben, Butler
for his personal interference with the nomi-
nation, and that Buffers recent visit to the
White House was of short duration, the
President plainly indicating that he didn't
wish advice from such source. The com
mittee, however, have sent word to Mr.
Dana 10 appear before them, and the oppo-
Siion will probably end.
