WASHINGTON, June 13-Wednts Q Jay
soon after IL o'clock about one hun
dred representative southern men,
the majority of whom were North
Carolinians, called at the White
House to invite tile President to Rel
eigh on the occasion of the ExpOsi-
ton next fall. Until Tuesday, Gov
ernor Holt was expected to act as
spokesman His duties made it i'm
possible for him to attend and he
was ably represented by Senator
Ransom, who introduced the entire
delegation to the President in his u.s.
ual happy style. They presented Mr..
Harrison with an illustrated copy of
a recent volume showing forth the
great resources of our State. Mr..
Harrison was very much pleased, and
said if he possibly could do so he
would accept the invitation. There
is a bare chance that he will &c. as
the Republicans regard North Caro-
lima as promising field for Republi-
can converts next year, and the g. @.
P. needs oil the help it can get. I
don't think, in spite of their calcula-
tions, that "Cousin Ben's" presence
would change the complexion ola sin
gle vote. But we would welcome him
as guest nevertheless. Wanna
maker and Rusk promised to attend.
In spite of the wholesale way in which
Senator Stanford and his agents cap
tured and held the first convention
of the Peoples Party of the United
States of America, Col. l.. L. Polk
and Jere Simpson have just left here
to organize campaign, the object OF
which is to make Polk President, and
give Simpson something which does
not.yet appear! Polk proposes to
"visit every State in the Union, from
Maine to tho Pacific Slope, to send
hundreds of speakers to forty States
and to organize Farmers Alliances
throughout the length and breadth
of the land!" The object Col. Polk
has in view is to be the chief execu-
tive Of this great country, to draw
$50 900 q year, to live in the White
House, rent free, and play "Big In
gun" generally. There is no danger
in Col. Polk from Southern Demo
cratic standpoint. Southern farm
ers are Democrats first and Alliance
men second. AS Alliancemen they
may pay a part of Col. Polk's cam,
paign expenses, and they will be that
much out of pocket. They have a
right to spend their money juas as
they please, and if they prefer to Ia.
it on the altar of Col. Polk's vanity
instead of giving it to the party
which has protected them for over
twenty y-five years, they havea perfect
right to do so.
