ARGUS BUREAU,
RALEIGH. Feb. 9, 1895.
Last evening there was a joint
caucus of Populists and Republi-
cans to come to some conclusion
about an election bill. A bill
was fixed up but was not adopted.
The election matter and ECU
mutation" seem to be the stun
bling bio cks of the F'usionists.
Another caucus will probably be
held this evening and reach a
conclusion about the election bill.
The ''cumulation" question is
still mooted and nothing has
been decided.
In the House to-day there was
a lengthy and heated debate on
personal privileges" Many
representatives spoke, among
them the notorious "Gizzard'
French. The queer thing about
his speech was that he took up
for the Democrats, defending
them from the accusation so of
ten made by the Caucasian, that
they wantonly impeded legisla-
ton. Eveni"Gizzard'' is turning
his back on the Caucasian! That
is a strange sight, but a true
one.
The temperance bill, as [ in
formed you it would, came up be-
fore the committee on PROPOSE
ton and grievances this morn
ing. [ am informed on reliable
authority that it will certainly
pass.
The weather continues very
cold here. The Thermometer went
down to 3 degrees last night and
the average temperature to-day
is about 19 degrees. There were
yesterday and to-day over $50
cords of wood distributed among
the poor people here. One poor
woman died last night and IL is
said she absolutely froze 10
death
Miss Lily Devereaux Blake
lectured yesterday afternoon for
Woman rights to the Legislature
and a number of citizens and la
dies who had come to hear her.
She was introduced in happy
style by Senator Moody. Her
talk was a good one. She said
that the South was the only sec
ton where woman had no rights,
that they were taxed and that
taxation without representation
was tyranny. She said that the
laws of North Carolina should
allow women representation ano
praised the bill which was intro
duced in the Legislature allow
ing women to sit on schoO
boards. She said that the mair
reason why women should be al
lowed representation was thai
they now had to work; they are
not paid enough. If they coule
!. vote they could look to theil
!, own interests.
Governor Carr to-day exercised
, executive clemency. He issuet
