Rennhlicnn Pnrty Divided.

WELDON. n. c.. July 26.-lSpecial. The
Republican party in North Carolina is quite
as much divided as the Democratic party.
Dr. j. j. Mott had for a long time been the
head of the Republican organization In TINS
State. and as such had had the disposal OF
the Federal patronage. Several years ago
John b. Eaves Ousted him and IS now IN
favor with the national administration.
Mr.. Eayes is now chairman of the state ex-
ecutiye committee. q position which ne held
when the State Convention met IN
the spring. A fierce fight was waged
there between the NJ OFT and EaYes factions.
but Eayes conquered and Mott charged
that his success was owing 70 the influence
he (Eaves had with the ofice-holders. Inc
feud between them still exits. Inc raves
element insists on nominating q full state
ticket and the Mott faction is equally de-
termined that no ticket shall be nomination,
The State committee will meet on Thurs
day, when the question of holding the con-
yention will be determined. DR.. Mott
published this week long caro- IN
which be takes strong ground for fusion
OF compromise with the Peoples party.
His argument is that an increase OF the cur
rency is needed IN the South. ana theTelore
Third-party candidates for Congress should
receive Republican support. In return ior
this the Doctor thinks the Third party VIII
secure what he terms free ballot and fair
count. and thus will the Republican
electors secure plurality. and the
vote of the State will be cast for
Harrison. He also advised the party to
declare in its platform against the Force
bill and 10 require candidates 10 pledge
themselves against 1t. The reason gwen Is
that the Northern Republicans do not seem
TO see tho necessity Of Federal election
law. nor that honest elections depend on
O national law. and therefore 1t IS poncy
for North Carolina Republicans TO accept
the existing condition and get as far as pos
sble from any effort or purpose 10 obtain
a law of this character. The Signal, Re
publican organ, sustains DR.. Mott IN this
position and announces that they do not In
tend 10 aid the opposing faction IN their
votes. This paper, speaking OF the hepuOll-
can Convention. alluded TO above. says
Chairman Eaves consorts almost entirely
with rival and cOrrup. negroes and mas
gathered this class of negroes around
him to that extent that the state Con
vention held in April last was
wholly controlled by Mr.. caves and
his dusky and odoriferous champions. Inc
iDsolence of these ruffians and the indigni-
ties and insults beaped on the white dele
gates present were disgusting and un0ear,
able. The convention was dominated ana
ruled by negroes, and the social relations OF
themselves and Eayes and many OF ms
white gang were as complete and as cordla
as If all had been as black as the smoke OF
hell and their stencil as great as that OF tho
rankest brand of guano."

A Thief Caught by Electricity.

A few years ago DIR. Livingstone, one or
two others and myself were camping in
Lake county. We had a canned plum
pudding which we priced very highly, and
a stable boy who was not bad in his way.
Just as we reached Saratoga Springs the
plum pudding disappeared, and we rather
suspected the stable boy, but suspicion
wouldn't tickle our palates or fill our
stomachs.
In our'outfit was an electric battery, and
I determined TO try it as thief catcher
and mechanical detective. | herded all
the cooks. sculhons and walters about the
place and stood them in row with the
stable boy. Then | made them little
speech. telling Of the theft of the plum
pudding, and asking the guilty one to con-
fess. No one peeped, and the most lnno-
cent appearing person in the company was
the suspected stable boy.

apply the test"
With this Livingstone stepped out with
the battery. Placing the handles Of the
apparatus in the hands of the first man in
the row, the doctor looked him in the eye a
moment, but didn't connect the electricity
OF course the man was not affected and was
declared innocent.
So the doctor passed from man to man
until he came to the stable boy. As soon
as the lad gripped the handles Livingstone
pulled the machine wide open. That night
we feasted on our recovered plum pudding.
