North Carolina Politics.

The political affairs of the North State
are somewhat complicated, but there
seems to be fair prospect that they may
be Strengthened out and united front be
presented to the Bourbons. There are
the Grant Republicans and the Sherman
Republicans, the Keogh men and the
Mott-Cannaday men, the Prohibitionists
and the ti-Prohibitionists, the county
government men and the State-centrali-
zation government men.
The State Executive Committee is pre-
sided over by Dr. Mott. Colonel Keogh
was formerly at its head. There is no
question upon which the Republicans
need be divided. The anti-Prohibition-
ssts carried the State by majority so
overwhelming that the minority does
not count. This question is therefore
settled No Republican should be tabooed
because of his views thereon. No Re-
publican should attempt any further in
behalf of the Prohibition policy, because
it is out of the question to carry it.
This question being settled, there
can be no profit in other dissensions.
Every Republican, then, can be the equal
in rights of every other. The divisions
within the party over the Presidency are
now out of date. Opposition to the COM
mon enemy is the only test. Not how to
excommunicate Republicans, but how to
win Democrats to liberal political policy,
having in view the destruction of the
Bourbon organization-this is the duty
of the present.
DIR. John J. Mott the chairman q -,
State Executive Committee now Wv
city. is of the opinion that a-IA =" -, Di'
icy can be carried out in y -, go Ca-.,ie ~,
as it has been in visSS', hS ,ala. This will re
aIomonts on,L,, .. lion of all Republican
,.aa' S;G, "a ,I "a an entire oblivion for al
Pm M, .crences within the party.
The country will expect such a result
As to the leadership in North Carolina
that cannot be made from without. Let i
be determined by events within tn,
State, but let it have for its followin,
"all who are opposed to the restoration
to power of the Bourbon Democracy il

4 oountrymRn named WiIIiam i. Norman, hail.
ing from Lecsburg Loudoun County, Virginia,
was tleeced out of 500 Tuesday morning. He fell
in with gang OF thrco-card monte men and after
the usual preliminaries began betting on the
joker and lost 800 over that pleasing diversion I;
the balance was then snntched out of his hands
and the gang resolved themselves into their origi
ial elements. In the afternoono officer Shelton ar
rested James King, white man about thirty years
old, charged with being one Of the gang, and he
was locked ZIP in the Seventh Precinct Station
House for a hearing. Jaterin the day the deluded
victim thought he recognized another of the gang
and followed him TO Georgetown TO concert at
the Curtis school. Norman pointed out the man
10 Sergeant Swndle, OF the Third Precinct, who
informed him of Mrs Norman's suspicious. As the
gentleman suspected Is well known Government
official his feelings may be better imagined than
described. II was purely a case Of mistaken iden-
tty and was so explained to Mr.. Norman. who &C.
cepted tho siLuation and retired gracefully.
