LICKS LANDED BY LOGE.

The Bell Weather of the Fusion
Flock and Mr.. Nichols Straight
out Engage in a Scrapping
Match.
The second spasm of the Wake
County Republican opulisticol
Fiasco occurred in hecourt house
yesterday.
It was a sort of a returned
spasm of an epileptic political fit
which the party was thrown into
some two weeks ago. The trouble
from which the Hybrid political
reptile is suffering and which
produces such serious spasms at
different intervals, is caused by
an effort on the two political rep
tiles to swallow each other.
They began the great swallow
ing act several weeks ago and
got along quite well until each
was about half swallowed. Siren
uous efforts to get she other two
halves swallowed is what is caus-
ing these contortiors.
Prof. Loge Harris, the great
political trick-worker and origi-
nator of political legerdemain in
sists that it can be done and de-
clares that it shall be done. Col.
Jno Nichols, Prof. Ed. Johnson
and Squire Frank Sorrell and
others who believe that the more
more they swallow the less
there is left of either, declare
that it cannot and shall not be
done.
Prof. Harris and his side part
ner, Jim Young, had a meeting
at the Court House yesterday,
where the great feat was to be
eliminated. Loge was to touch
a button! Young give himself a
few twists and the great feat was
to be accomplished. The Pro
fessor was there, sitting high up
in the chairman's chair, but
Nichols, Scroll and johnson
were also watching the Profess
Sor.
It was a bot day. It was a
hot crowd and a red hot piece of
work was to be done.
The professor trotted out the
half-swallowed freak, but Sorrell
jumped on one end Of it with
both feet. Loge raved a few lines
of language that's not Sunday
language and Sorrell raved back
athim and called him names.
Nichols was sitting near
by as quiet as a lamb. He had
opened not his mouth.
Squire Sorrell said to the Pro
fessor: You said that you would
pick the Wake county delegation
in the Congressional convention
against John Nichols" You're
another shouted the Professor,
and, so are you," said Nj. Scr
rell, land you said that Nichols
should have nothing in this dis
trict."
''Oh, yes; no; well, did l Or die
I not? No, never, yes [ did, ano

fessor. This brought the quie'
