THE NORTH CAROLINA CANVASS.
A Persopal Collision Between Democrats and
Third Party Men.
Correspondence of Tho Evening" Star
RALEIoH, N. c., Oct. 6, 1892.
As the election day approaches the campaign
grows warmer and more personal The demo
Gratis are very bitter in their feelings regarding
the third party leaders and do not hesitate to
express their hatred. At some points in the
! state the situation has been quite strained and
at Statesville personal collision between par.
I tisans Of Glenn. the democratic nominee for
elector, and Butler, the third party nominee,
! IVES barely prevented. These men are the lead
ers in the fight now on.
| The position of the third party and that OF
! the democrats is of two men quarreling,
while third, represented by the republican
party, stands by intently watching and eager to
gain any advantage. To great degree the re-
publicans have been put to side in this cam
| paign, and yet they were never more dangerous
adversaries. They have nothing to lose and all
to gain.
While the democrats at their state headquar-
tiers are literally rs busy as bees conducting a
| systematic campaign, doing q great deal of
writing and sending out great quantities of
literature the republican committee 10 certainly
making no show. Its chairman is here but
seldom, and his secretary, Mr.. Walser, and as
| sistant clerk, Mr.. Victor Dockery, make no
| flourish whatever in the line of literature or
| letter writing. 1t Is noticeable that many OF
| the republicans who are thrown much in con-
tact with democrats devote good deal of their
breath to eulogies Of the third party. how
strong ii is how fast it is growing, &c, not for
| getting TO intimate that it will give the demo-
| Gratis "a hard time"
| HOW THE CAMPAIGN IS CONDUCTED.
| The third party organs must consider the
/ democratic state chairman an idiot One OF
them today with perfect gravity prints an item
to the effect that Democratic Chairman Sim
mons a few days ago said three courses lay be-
fore the democrats in carrying the election.
| One was TO assess the railways and banks for
| S100, 900 campaign fund, another to give away
500 barrels Of whisky In the negro counties,
| while the third, the last resort, was "to count
them out" Yet there are plenty Of readers Of
these third party papers ignorant enough. and
most assuredly prejudiced enough, to believe
this sort of stuff. This alone will give an idea
As to the sort Of campaign it Is. The third
party has told its rank and file to read no demo-
cratic papers, and if by chance one is read to
! believe nothing seen in it.
At the meeting here q few days ago. at which
| Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease spoke. some dem
ocratic newspapers, &c, were circulated. As
| soon some Of the third party men got these
in their hands they tore them up, just chill
drsn would, with spiteful gestures.
| Mr.. j. &. L. Harris, republican, who edits the
I fusiap here said today hat tho
can chairman had put straight tickets in the
| field in ten counties in which the third party
had put them up. Mr.. Harris then went on to
say that he had advices from the republican
/ county chsirmen in number of cases that they
| would do no work for their ticket.
| 1t is certain that in no way will any OF the
! republicans save one say or do anything to Of
fend the third party. The exception is A. q.
Linney. who is with d. NJ Furches, the republic
can nominee for governor, in his canvass. Lin
ney's abuse Of the third party is vitriolic in it,
intensity. He hates the alliance and the third
party, holding the two to be largely synonymous.
| The democrats have been rather pressed for
funds to conduct what is certainly an expensive
campaign. They we're delighted few DAYS
ago to receive $780, gift from merchants
| and their salesmen in Baltimore. 1t is the first
gift of the kind ever received by a committee
| in this state, and is greatly appreciated. There
were about 100 subscribers.
Applications for inspectors Of election under
the federal law come in very slowly. 1t APP
pears, however. that most Of the counties will
! send them in, the republicans and third party
men cooperating in making recommendations.
! The democrats will make no recommendations
as they do not have any belief in the power OF
! the government to thus regulate matters in the
states.
