OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MAJOR GRANT FAVoRs "a GOOD
SMOOTH FUSION"
The Program Last Night-Werth for
Treasurer and Whitaker for
Chief Justice.
Correspondence Charlotte Observer

Correspondence Charlotte Observer
RALEIGH, July 30.-Maj. III. L.
Grant and Mr.. Virgil S. Lusk, mem
beers of the Republican State execu-
tive committee, were the first to ar
rive here to attend the conference
with the Populist leaders. They came
yesterday. Your correspondent had a
long talk with Maj. Grant, who is an
extremely well-iuformed man. When
told he was being talked of as the new
chairman of the State committee, to
succeed John B. caves. Maj. Grant
said he could not accept the place, if
it were rendered. He talked very
freely, saying that of the sixteen
members of the State committee ali
save Brady and Millikin had said they
would attend this meeting or favored
fusion with the Populists if effected
on proper basis. He added that he
had letters from IS Republicans in
the State and that only five opposed
fusion. Here are some other things
which Maj. Grant said:
eff a good smooth fusion, or rather
cooperation, of the Populists and Re-
publicans is effected, there are enough
white Republicans and PopuliSts to
beat the Democrats, leaving the
negro vote out of the question; that
Is, II the votes are properly counted.
The negro vote is hard to control. 1t
was so two years ago. In counties
where the Populists are in large num-
bers and put up their own people, the
negro voters are distrustful. Two
years ago the white Republicans from
the extreme west were violently OPP
posed to fusion, and they defeated
1T at the convention. The statemet
was made that chairman caves at
that time sold out the party, but that
does not bear the marks of prObabili-
ty. His opposition to the meeting of
his committee now to confer with the
POpuliSt leaders as to what is to be
done has strengthened any belief
there may have been that he sold out
in 1892. Now, the strength of the
fusionists among the Republicans is
in the extreme east and west. In the
center the sentiment appears to be
against. The fusion will have to Oe
arranged very carefully and through
committees. Cooperation is a better
name for it, as the plan is to let
neither party lose it's individuality
parties will try to do will be to
smooth things, for it is necessary that
there should be no hitch. Harmony
in both the Popul1st and Republican
conventions is essential. The two
parties are agreed on the principal
issues in the campaign, which are the
repeal of the election law and the
county government law. Those are
the only issues, for national ones cut
no figure. OF course the Republicans
cannot swallow the Sub-Treasury bill
and the government ownership of
railroads. All these things will have
to be talked over now and arranged.

MR. WINNER AND THE MAILS
Maj. Wilson Thinks it Cruel to Take
the Contract from Him.
To the Editors of the Sentinel.I


the Contract from Him.
To the Editors of the Sentinel.l
In your paper of Saturday see that
the contract for delivering the mails
from depot to postoffie will be taken
away from Mr.. John WINNER on the
1st Of August, but you did not state
why this change was to be made or by
whose dictation or authority.
1t is fact we'll known to the bust
ness men of this city and the citizens
generally that Mr.. WINNER is an old
soldier, who left one arm and one leg
on the battle fields OF Virginia in de-
fence of his State, and that he has
truly and faithfully discharged his
duty as mail carrier here for many
years, under both Democratic and Re
publican administrations, and the cit
liens and business men are indignant,
as they should be, and will hold to &C
count the man or men who propose to
make this change.
The idea of depriving this poor old
soldier with only one arm and one
leg) OF his only means of support Is
infamous, cruel, inhuman and out
TageouS, and the man or corporation
who causes or endorses it will suffer
for it. If it is the railroad authori-
ties, who it is presu med to be, the pa
irons Of the road will be heard from
later on the subject. This is only
protest from one of the sharp-shoot-
ers, and a comrade of Mr.. WINNER,
in the late war land 1t affords me
great pleasure to testify to the gal
lantry of this brave soldier) when the
line of battle comes up and the artil-
lery is un-limbered and placed in
position las it will be If that brave
and gallant soldier is without cause
arbitrarily deposed). You, whoever
you may be, will be further advised on
the subject. r. E. WILSON.
ITHH SENTINEL is informed that
the Railroad Company, which en-
ploys a man to deliver the mails to
and from the Winston postoffice, had
no desire to take the contract from
Mr.. WINNER. The people were ask
ing for better service and the railroad
company asked Mr.. WINNER to get
suitable vehicle for the transfer of
the mails, at the same time offering
to purchase said vehicle for him and
take out of his salary five dollars. per
month until it was paid for. Mr..
WINNER declined to accept this offer,
hence the company secured another
man,

Sunday DR.. Bahnsou was called in

The attending physicians say the
chances are favorable for his recovery.

prove fatal.
Mr.. Martin Is a quiet, unassuming
young man who commands the re-
spect of all who know him. He has

and has several times been arralgued

GENERAL GILL REMAINS
RECEIVER OF THE CAPE FEAR &
YADKIN VALLEY r. r.
Judge Simonton Hands Down His De-
cision, Refusing to Remove Him
What His Honor Says.

cision, Refusing to Remove Him
What His Honor Says
After weeks delay Judge Simon
ton has rendered his decision in the
case of Gen. Gill, receiver of the G. f.
& Y. ". refusing to remove him.
| After reciting the steps taken in the
| first appointment Of Mr.. Gill, His
Honor says:
1.-THE objects presented are to the
person named as receiver. When the
application was made in the first in
stance by the complainants, Mr.. Gill
! was appointed receiver. not on their
demand, nor because he was their
nominee simply. The necessity for
receivershlp being apparent, he was
selected beca Use he was preferred by
the representatives of the trst mort
gage bondholders, and because the
second mortgage bOndholderS had
shown their confidence in him, he be-
ing president and manager of the
Mercantile Trust Company of Balti-
more, their trustee.
His Honor takes the same view Of
the removal by Mr.. Gill of the treas
urer, and agent at Mt. Airy, as did his
friend Judge Hudson-that such acts
were no reason why he should be re-
moved when, as Mr., Buxton explain
ed, these acts are not cited for such
purpose at all, but to show the interest
Gill had-that he was not IAN indif-
ferent third person." but was playing
squarely against all interests except
the first mortgage bondholders.
Referring to the allegation of the
DIRECTORS that the road was conceived
and built by North Carolinians and
that receiver should be native of
the State, conversant with her people,
etc, he says, sarcastically, that it is
"a matter OF regret that Mr.. Gill is
not North Carolinian," and winds
up with this:
"Surely, however, all other things
being equal, it cannot be said In this
court, that this single fact amounts
to disqualification.
1.-The appointment of John Gill,
heretofore made as receiver, in this
case, is hereby confirmed"
To this the Greensboro Record adds:
1t may be stated that it was tue opin-
ion Of almost every lawyer who heard
the case tried here that Mr.. Gill
should be removed, and these gentle
men had no interest in the case what
ever but were here on other matters.
Some of the best legal talent in the
country was here and listened to the
argument with much interest.
However, Judge Simonton says Mr..
Gill is all right and this settles it.

Terrible Ravages of the Disease in the
Canton District.
LONDON, July 31.-No less than
10000 people are now believed to have
been swept away by the plague in the
district of Canton, China.
Two Japanese experts, who studied
several years at the Koch Institute,
were sents by their Governm ent to
make inquiries. They report that the
period of incubation Is from two to
seven days, followed by prostration
and high fever, and end in delirium
and coma.
HBoth physicians declare they identi-
fed plague bacillus which is different
to any ever found in the human body.
They describe 1t as of the form of
slender, straight filaments, short in
length. 1t devastates all the princi-
pal internal organs.
