The attempt to induce the State Temper
ance Convention, which adjourned last
evening, to take up the prohibition ques-
tion and form party fell very fiat. One
speaker pressed the matter, but found no
support. Ten years ago the temperance
question got into politics, but It's advocates
are determined that 1t shall get there no
more. This Is also the view OF n. Is.
Broughton, the president OF the state
Temperance Association.
ALLIANCE GOSSIP.
The extreme Alliance men contend that
the attacks upon l.. l.. Polk were the real
cause of his reelection. All the talk
among politicians Is about tina matter .n:
Alliance. with its 10000 white MEM
bers, is so powerful factor. The question
IN asked by some, Will Polk come to North
Carolina and make fight here? He GER
tainly has a strong following, and every
step he takes is matter OF interest TO the
Democrats Of North Carolina. The party
in Virginia, where Poik's influence Is reia-
lively small, cannot appreciate the effect
these things have in this State. The result
at indianapolis has unquestioDably IN;
creased the complication. Democrats will
have 10 show great unity Of purpose and
prepare for such fight as they have not
had TO make in North Carolina since 1875.
