WINSTON SALEM, N. c., Oct 3,
The Winston Republican, organ of the
Republican party in North Carolina,
comments to-day on Congressman
Settles recent interview with the Wash
ington correspondent of the Neg York
Tribune Among other things the Re
publican says: "Our daily contact with
the rank and file of the party, gathering
their views as they pass and learning
their estimate bOth Of men and meas
ures, do not, we are cOnstained to
say, fully sustain the apprehensionS
of Mr.. Settle. About nine-tenths Of
the Republicans are opposed to free and
unlimited silver coinage and do not pro
pose to be dumped, bag and baggage,
into the laps of our POpulist friends,
nor led into the new silver party being
formed, as many of them believe, by
certain Democratic leaders, to capture
the Populists. In the interest Of per-
fecting reforms and securing good gov
ernment by legislative control they
favor cooperation in State and county
matters, but are opposed to any action
along national lines at this time. As
we understand the situation neither
Republicans nor Populists now favor a
division of the ectOral ticket"
