The Democratic coup d'etat in North
Carolina will make the Populist sail
look like dish rag. Four years ago the
Farmers Alliance party procured an
act of the legislature Incorporating it as
a business agency. The incorporated
body has $4,000 of funds, and it became
so apparent than it was the intention to
turn the money over to the Populist
party as political campaign money that
the lower house of the legislature yes
terday passed by unanimous Demo
cratic vote bill repeating the charter
of the Farmers Alliance. This will en-
able the heaviest contributors of four
years ago, all of whom are opposed to
the PopuliSt movement, to get their
