FUSION TICKET.
The third party has within the past few DAYS
decided to put the names OF Ball and Norwood,
republican nominees for associate justice and
judge, on it's tickets. This is done in an
attem pit TO defeat the democrats at all hazards.
The republican and third party leaders now
| hold almost daily conferences together and
both are bringing TO bear all their forces against
| the democrats.
Ex-Congressman II. @. Ewart Of the ninth
| district has been assigned to duty as collector
OF campaign subscriptions in this state. He ID
| issuing many certificates Of 1.-THE republican
reserve fund.-" sl0 each. Some weeks ago
Chairman Eaves Of that party made statement
| that he would not need any outside funds, but
that the Office holders in this state would fur
nish what was needed Meanwhile he applied
| for funds TO the national chairman. The fusion
organ, which has for weeks ostensibly opposed
| the regular republican ticket, said Eaves could
get no money. Your correspondent IL now IN Q
position 70 state that caves has all along Lad
plenty OF money. The work oS the fusion
organs, which, while seeming to oppose the re-
puolicans, were il Is claimed, really working

all manner Of hard things about Eaves, about

purpose as 1t Is asserted by politicians, TO make

party. 1t was, democrats say, o clever bit oe
Oork arranged by the republicans.
LOOKING FOR A STAMPEDE.
A stampede of the third party 10 the repub-
licans or vice versa may now be expected atany
moment Chat rman Eaves himself remarked
that such thing could be quickly arranged
He said something about only three DAYS no.

district, has told his people thst il Maynard

d. W. Balm, democratic nominee for secre-
| tary Of state, is at the point of death at his
home here. He is the oldest state official. hay

arpEoN's RAND.
Your correspondent gave in a recent letter
some interesting facts in regard to the charge
by Chairman Simmons Of the democratic party
that Chairman Wilson Of the third party was
| the organizer of the unlawful organization,
''Gideon's Band, /" in North Carolina Chair
man Wilson has written Simmons the following
letter; "If there is in North Carolina n secret
political society known rs 'Gideons Band, or
| by any other name, or IL there has been po-
litical society which controls, has tried TO
control, the people or policy Of any political
| party, other than the councils OF the party IT.
| self, am In ignorance Of its existence"
Chairman Simmons has made reply In
which after publishing Wilson's letter and
| arguing that Il contains the strongest possible
proof Of the charge it purports to answer,
making only the single point that the "band''
| il not political society" he goes on 10 sayt
| There seems to be considerable obtuseness on
| the part Of some people in North Carolina 40
| TO what constitutes political action II MessrA
Reed and Bells letters left any doubt land
think they did not) in the minds of the people
| about the actual existence here Of . secret
political society Wilson's letter finally removes
| that doubt. The existence Of 'Gideous Band
