BUTLER WORRIED.
Senator Marion Butler has gone 10 his
home, in Sampson county. 10 take rest.
IT is no secret that a good deal Of the
work done by the Legislature has wor-
ried him. One wing Of his Popuist party
nearly broke away from his control The
Republicans count on seeing the Populist
party go 10 pieces in this State. and also
count on getting a good many OF its
members within their own ranks.
Hon. Josiah Turner has claim against
the State, of some twenty-five years
standing. for public printing. and Secre-
tary-of-State Coke. Auditor Furman and
Practical-Printers John Nichols and J.
c. Birdsong are investigating H. Is Is for
sl30Q. The committee VIII allow about
nine hundred dollars. II is said.
\ QUESTION.
There is a great deal Of discussion as
90 the legal right OF appointment 10 vari-
Gus offices which the Fusionis's undertook
30 FIJI. Eminent lawyers doubt the power
OF the Legislature TO elect any persons
20 office save as officers Of the IeSfla-
ture and trustees Of the university. The
chances Of the new Board Of Agriculture
getting those positions are exceedingly
slim.
The question Is now asked, Has the
Legislature any right 70 elect railway
commissioners? Had II a right 10 elect
the three who were first chosen? and
should II not have simply provided for
their election at the next regular election,
the Governor meanwhile appointing?
NEGROES OPPOSE.
One element Of the negroes Is bitterly
opposed TO any continuance Of fusion OF
Republicans ana Populists. and will an
tagon!ze 1t earnestly. The negroes viii
in two weeks begin the publication Of a
straight Republican paper here

or The Sedboald Airline are 10 De
brought back here from Portsmouth,
where they were located last year.
