The Washington correspondent ot
the Charlotte Observer saws under
date of Nov. 21st:
WHAT SENATOR RANSOM SAYS. .
Senator Ransom Is here but ex.
poets to 60 home in day or two
The Senator tells his friends that he
is pretty well satisfied witt. that
Northampton silver meeting. All
except four Democrats sided with
him. He did not, as reported in
Populist and Republican papers,
get angry and fly off the helve,' but
be sent some hot shot into the camp
Of desertersfrom the Democratic par
~ many of whom were at the meet
ing. They controlled it's actlon." .
The Senator says is he satisfied with
the result OF the meeting. The fact
Is he was never more chagrined in
his life, to. be censured by d meeting
irrespective Of party Of the citizens
of his. county. He says that all the
Democrats sided with him but four,
and that the Popuiists controlled the
meeting. IF this is true the.l it is
an admission that the Peoples party
is iii a big majority ii Northampton.
He says he poured bot shot into the
ranks of the "deserters from the
Democratic party" This is very
funny, the gold bug minority pour
ing not shot into the ranks lof' the
great mass of the people, who know
what Democraeyis and refuse to fol-
low one who has gone over to the mo-
'nopolists but still masqlierades under
the flag. Of Democracy. The sena-
tor, poured hot shot into those who
disagreed with. him. One. Of those
was Mr., Gay, the chairman. of the
Democratic, eAeou the, committee of
the county, who was also chairman
of this meeting. The Senator says
he did not get mad as the 'Populist
and Repubhean papers say. The
following editorial taken from a
Democratic paper, (The Patron and
Cleaner, G az published in his own qopnp7
ty, bears rs testimony to the contrary.

who believe in the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, as, 4eelued in the
platforms of the political parties re-
presented III this State. " Senator

that.,he would oppose the resolutions
when offered, not because of any .dd f.
ference between himself and Senator
