THIRD-PARTY POINTS
ONLY AS ALAsT RESORT, SAYS COLO
MEL POLKS MOUTHPlECe.
VIII the Alliance People Put Up State
Tickets "A Malicious Attack on Chair
man r. &. smith-Otter state Affairs.
Especial Telegram 70 the pIspa,ch.


RALEIGH. N. G.. March s.-The visit Of
Colonel Polk. the head Of the Alliance
here. Was brief one. He spent most OF
the time at Alliance headquarters, and had
conferences with perhaps fifty Alliance
men. the most prominent OF whom was
Marion Butler. Your correspondent asked
Mr.. Ramsey, the managing editor OF Colo
mel Folks paper here. who also favors the
Third party. whether many of the Ali
ance men who talked with Colonel Polk IN
the conferences or caucuses here appeared
Ramsey replied: mot II they can get what
they want IN any other way, but only as a
| las. resort"
QUITE HOPEFUL.
He added that naturally the Alliance
men had little or nothing TO hope for from
the Republicans, but that their ewes were
| on the Democrats who two years ago
were so courteous, and who, after con-
| ference with the Alliance representatives.,
adopted the Alliance platform, with one
or two notifications. All this Is hopeful +;
| for If the Alliance representatives. and the
Democrats get together just prior to the
meeting of the Democratic State Conyen-
ton they can no doubt speedily arrange a
ticket and a platform which would be
mutually satisfactory. OF course there
will have TO be mutual concessions.
no STATE TICKE1s.
Polk said 70 q leading Alliance Demo
crat the Third party did not propose TO
pu. State tickets in the field, but would
make Its fight on the national ticket,
having an electoral ticket in each state.
| Your correspondent IL assured that Polk
cannot restrain the Third party fanatics
from putting up State tickets.
POOR AUTHORITY.
The sensation to-day is a severe editorial
attack by the GoldsbOro' Argus upon
| Chairman T.. G. Smith for his alleged visit
to David i. Hill at Washington aud his
pledge Of the Democratic vote OF North
| Carolina. The authority for this state
ment is a Republican newspaper. 1t Is
not believed here.
REWARD OFFERED.
Governor Holt to-day offered $500 re-
ward for John Trexier, James Todd, and
Leroy Gray, members Of a regularly or
gained band of thieves, which has head
quarters in Rowan county. near the line Of
| Cabarlus and Iredell counties, and which
| has made very extensive depredations,
stealing great quantities OF cotton from
| farmers and ginners.
| One Of the legal sensations of last year
here was the fight which man named
| Goodwin, living in this county, made
against the CaTaeigh improvement Com
pany to prevent it from building railway
| TO its property. To-day the Supreme Court
| filed a decision against Goodwin, and
| heavy costs fall upon him.

MATHEWS COURTHOUSE, Va. March s.
Assistant District Lecturer Moses kolph,
OF Caroline county, delivered an address
before the Westyille Alliance Saturday
evening. His effort was chiefly consumed
in the discussion and elaboration OF the
Rochdale plan OF cooperation from the
Alliance standpoint, and the advocacy OF
the sub-treasury bill. This latter. scheme
does not meet with much favor from the
Alliance. or the people at large. Beng
thoroughly grounded in Democratic prin-
ciples, they naturally look with jealous
disfayor upon any measure Of relief when
sayors of paternalism, and, adhering. to the
broad aud equitable principle laid down
