THE SOUTH ERN ALAMO

The Industrial : difference at
st. Louis is still wrangliug over
the question as to whether the
Alliance shall become a political
party, and the majority seems to
be in favor of nominating a ma
tiapal ticket. Col. Polk, who is
the presiding officer of the Con
ference, has been making a big
bid for the nomination.
In the meantime the South will
stick to the Democratic party.
Here is what a staff correspond
"The south will stand by the
Democracy, but the West and
Northwest will go with the peo-
ple's party. Congressman Liv-
ingston and Moses will with
draw from the convention, and
so will Mr.. A. w. Wilson and Nj.
L. Palmer, leaving Post and the
balance of the third p:'rty crowd
inside. Two Of Alabama's rep
resentatives will GO with the new
crowd ana four will withdraw.
"The president of the North
Carolina state alliance will leave
the convention and go with the
Democrats and SO will Tennes-
see, Mississippi, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. | got
it on good authority that these
states will go out and hold a
meeting pledging allegiance to
the Democratic party if indie
pendent political action is decid-
ed upon"
ent of the Atlanta Journal who
is on the scene says about the
situation:
1.-THE anticipation of the Journ-
al correspondent materializes,
what little third party senti
ment that exists in the South
will extinguished at one stroke
and there will be no doubt as to
how the South's electoral vote
will be cast in the coming presi-
Dental election.
1t looks now as if the Demo-
Gratis have more to gain and the
Republicans more to lose in the
final results of the ST. Louis con-
ference. The third party will
draw its principal strength from
the Republican ranks. With this
Republican disaffecfion in the
West, and the right men on the
Democratic ticket, Democratic
success will be assured.
Carlisle is popular in the South,
popular in the West, and the
North recognizes him as one cl
the foremost statesmen of the
day.
What's the matter with Car
Isle for President?

IS TT A CAMPAIGN MOvEq

The Charlotte News has a
bright idea. 1t proposes that
the Goth of May, the day around
which clu ,ters so much misty
history, shall be celebrated with
an Grafton by that prince of pol
iticians, Senator David B. Hill
of New York. This is the way
the News gives vent to the pa
triotism of it's OVERLOOKING soul.
"Theproper thing will be to ex
tend and invitation to Senator
Hill to be the guest of Char
lotte on the Goth of next May
and to deliver speech on that
occasion.
"Firemen' tournaments and
all such things as that, have
played out. Our 10th could not
be celebrated in a more appro-
pirate manner than for Charlotte
to bring our a special car from
Washington, containing Sena-
tor Hill, Senator Vance, Senator
Ransom and the North Carolina
representatives. We could have
a speech from Senator Hill and
rem 4rks by other distinguished
guests, a parade bv the Naval
Battalion and military, and a
reception and ball and fireworks
atnig.1t. We donot believe that
this programme can be improved
upon.
David B. will jump at such an
invitation as IL hungry frog at a
fly. Hills ambitious to be Pres
ident and will not lose single
opportunity for making a vote.
He has New York in his first and
his hencnmen are at work in
Georgia making an open and
aggressive canvass for the New
Yorker.
1t will not be surprising if the
same programme is attempted
in North Carolina, and Hills
coming to Charlotte would put
the balm motion. Ii Charlotte
is for Cleveland, or opposed to
Hill the suggestion of the News
should fall fat.

Charlotte is dry town and
likely to stay SO Tor some time.
Here is what the "NeWs" says
about the status of the matter:
How long will the bars of
Charlotte remain closed? is a
question frequently heard. 1t is
pretty hard one to answer.
Some people seem to think that
the mandamns proceedings be-
fore Judge Bynum next week
will resultin a speedy openins OF
the saloons, but those who count
on any thing of that kind will be
badly mistaken. There is sure
to be an appeal to the Supreme
court should Judge Bynum de
eide in favor of Roessles. The
appeal would not be heard be-
fore next May, and even should
such decision. be sustained, it
would be well along in June be-
fore Capt. Roessier could open
his saloon. That would bring
things up to about he time for
electing new board of county
commissioners.

Cause of His Sicl1n SIS.

WASHING ron, March 1.-The CON
dition of Chairman Springer, Of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Representative is now
considered ST rious.
He is suffering from acute erysip-
elias, complicated with nervous pros
tration and severe cold, and is un
able to see any one but the immedi-
ate members of his family. His
features ale swollen almost beyond
recognition and have assumed a pur-

He was worse this morning and it
now feared that his illness may fer
inmate fatally. This serious illness
is said by his physicians to be prir
cipally the effect OF nervous prostra-
tions, induced by constant work and
anxiety in the preparation of his tar

visitors to which the chairman of the
Ways aud Means Committee has
been subjected.

THE G. 80. AND WINSTON.

At II meeting in Richmond
Tuesday the stockholders of the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad auth
orized the issue of seventy mil
lion dollars in bonds. The mon
ey to be derived from the issue Is
for eralimprovements, double
tracking, and the acquiring and
constructing of branch lines.
This may mean something o
Winston. The Chesapeake &
Ohio, for a small sum en- get in
to Roanoke, Va, and undoubted-
ly has it, eye on that place. 1t
has already surveyed a line to
the corporate limits OF the city,
and there is not much doubt that
part of this issue of bonds will
be expended in building the road
into Roanoke. Roanoke believes
that this will be done and that
the Chesapeake &Ohio will make
a traffic arrangement with the
Roanoke &Southern or buy that
road out right. In either event
Winston would be greatly bene-
fitted. The interests of Winston
and Roanoke are SO clos ely unit
ed by the Roanoke & Southern
that the building of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio to Roanoke, even
with the Roanoke and Southern
under the control of another cor
poration, would help the rail-
road facilities of this place.
In the meantime one of the
most important things for Wins
ton in a railroad way is the
southern extension of the ROa-
noke & Southern TO Charlotte or
Monroe.
