I'VE ALL STOOD FIRM"
Capt. Alexsnder's Remark about the
Si.ver Fight.

SENCH EiEht.
WASHINGTON, July 16--The
North Carolina delegation n Con
gress is not pleased with the fate of
the silver bill and are not anxious
to discuss the probable effect on
North Carolina politics. "We ali
stood firm or tree silver" said
Capt. S. B. Alexander, "even to
the negro and we must make the
best of the result possible" The
anti are iubilant over the triumph
of Mr.. Cleveland's views. If the
peoples party had not made SO big
a blunder at Omaha N the nominal
ton of Weaver, Congressman could
be found by the dozen who would
admit that the next election of
President would be thrown into
the House OF Representatives. If
Southern Democrats who are in
clincd to look to the peoples party
for relief hope to see the West vote
for q ticket with al ex-Confederate
soldier on it they will see how
badly they are mistaken when the
returns come in from Noyembe 8
election. There is not a we'll in
formed politician in Washington
who believes that the peoples
party will carry q single State. The
most that is accredited. to it is the
possible power Of rendering two or
three Southern States Republican
and Us many Western States DEM
ocratic.
l was talking with a Kansas
oficeholder the other day about
the probable result of the coming
contest and suggaeted that if Col.
Folk had lived and been placed on
the ticket there might have been
trouble cheat Tor both old parties.
'If you shink any man who was in
the ConfedeIate army stands the
ghost Of chance of carrying Kansas
or any Western State you don't
know anything about the people OF
those States" was his reply.
Unless there is a hitch in the
conference on the remainder of the
appropriation bills Congress will
adjourn by August first. The
Sunday civil appropriation bill is
the main thing that is likely to
postpone adjournment. The Sen
ate amendments increase the appro-
priations of this bill eleven million
dollars and the House committee
has recommended a non concur
renee. The naval, army and legis'
lative appropriation bills all went
to the President yesterday.
