There are honest republi-
cans in North Carolina. We
state this in black and white
because none OF them ever
get into Office. The honest
ones have no chance OF pro-
motion in that party in n.
Carolina.
The latest North Carolina
Republican office-bolder to
stea! all the money he could
find is Rutledge Pillage
Hughes of Granville county.
Rutledge was chief clerk in
the office OF Register OF Deeds
in Granville. He was also
Chairman OF the Republican
District Executive Commit
tee. When Mr.. Settle wanted
a prominent and influential
Republican fr o IN Granville
county TO preside over f h g
convention that. renominnt-
ed him, he selected Rutledge
Pillage Hughes. The $ al d
Hughes was a model Republi
can presiding officer and pre-
sided to Settles sa tisfaction.
He was Il shining mark in Re
publican circles.
Rntledge did not confine
himself to managing the Re-
publican party. He engineer
ed fusion between his party
and the Populists. He was
as big Il man il Granville
county as. s. Ohio Wilson
in Wake.
But Rutledge Pillage is no
more a leader. He has alb
scondeo, run away, scooted,
left the country, and taken
with him all the money in the
o Deeds office in
The Republicans in Gran
Y lille are thus bereft W h Z n

And what is more this is

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

for governor of New York il
still the leading topic of con
versatlon among democrats
While there are a few who
for personal reason do not
like the nomination, your
correspondent has not dis.
covered a single democrat
who doubts his election.
There is something about
the record Of the man that
INSPIRES the rank and file oi
the party with the enthus-
iasm thar wins. And this is
not confident to his own
State, as shown by the fol
lowing communication from
the President of a Young
Mems Democratic Club in In
diana: ''Indiana is enthus-
instic since Dayid b. Hill was
nominated. We feel that the
faction have come together
in New York, which can only
result in the triumph of our
party" The opinion of Sen
ator Mitchell. OF Win:Onsin.
now in Washington, is au-
other indication of the way
the nomination was received
in other States. He says:
lit is the strongest nomina-
tiOn that could have been
made and it will havea slim
ulating effect all through the
country. While there are
rumblings OF disrontent from
some Of the anti-Hill factions,
they will come around, and |
have no doubt he can carry
the State" Senator Mitch.
ellis experience as chairman
of the Democratic Congress.
ional campaign COMMITTEES
during tn 9 last campaign
adds weight to his opinion.
Many misstatements, most
of them deliberately willful,
have been made concerning
the attitude of the admins
tration towards the candi.
dacy of Senator Hill. 1t is,
OF course, too well known to
be discussed that the admin.
istration had it made the
choice would not have select
ed Senator Hill as the car
didate, but his unanimous
nomination furnished strong
proof that the administra.
tion did not even attempt to
influence the convention. It'll
has been charged that the ad
mlniStration WAS Iuke-warm
towards the ticket headed by
Senator Hill aud that it
would do nothing to aid it in
rarrying New York. | can
state upon high authority |
that there is not a word of
truth in snch charges. The
administration is not luke
warm towards the ticket. On
The contrary, it earnestly de-
sires it's election, and will do
all that it may probably do
all that it would have done

been as good a Cleveland
nan as Representative Dan.

There are -nmOrs that the
trial of Capt. Henry W. How
gate, who while disbursing
clerk of the Weather Bureau
embezzled more than $780,.
900, and who has been a
fugitive from justice for I3
years. will bring out sensa
tional disclosures connecting
prominent Republicans with
his embezzlement. He was
arr ested last week in New
York, where he has lived nn-
der an ass lined rame for six
years past. 1t was stated in
Washington at the time of
his escape, which was heliev-
Ell to have been connived at
by officials, that he would
never be rearrested, because
he knew too much. 1t is well
known that he might have
been arrested years ago had
any real effo1 rs been made to
find him. He has always
been in communication with
people in Washington.
That "it is an i'll will that
blows no good" was called
to mind by a talk with IA
South Carolina rice planters.
who said: IF the war be-
tween Japan and China be
protracte1 it will result in
considerable benefit to the
rice planters OF the Southern
States, as it will serve to
diminish the importation of
rice from China and tend to
raise the price of the home
products. The Southern rice
growers are now in a fairly
prosperous condition. but
this eastern war may make
them still more so by Great
ing a boom in prices. This
years crop is firstrnte. both
in quantity and quality"
According to the informa-
received from the most trust
worthy sources the Republi-
cans, in predlcting a break
in the Democratic Congress-
ional delegation from Texas,
are merely preparing anoth-
er disappointment for them.
This is the way Dr..
f. d. Thompson, Of Fort
Worth. who is at present in
Washington, sums up the
situation III the Lone Star
State: THE Populists are
pretty active in some of the
districts; but they are al
ways Il noisy lot, and will
not come any nearer success

he past. Popnlism in Texas
= simply a revival of the old
