POLITICIANS IN RALEIGH.
DEMOCRATS, POPULISTS, AND
REPUBLICANS.
The Pops OverhopefuI; They Want to
Name the Governor. Minister Ran
som in the City,

som in the City,
Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 15.-It
seems to be a coincidence that
every time Minister Ransom ar
rives in the city Senator Butler
turns up also. The last time
Minister Ransom was in the city,
about two months ago, Senator
Butler placed his name imme-
diately under that of the Cen
erals on the Yarboro House reg
| lister.
The Yarboro House lobby last
night was scene of unusual ac-
tivity and display for this period
Of an ''off year. Politicians,
prominent personages and states
men made to order were as
plentiful as red bugs in season.
It reminded one of the eve Of a
night before a political conven-
ton, or on occasion ola session
Of the Legislature. Among
those present was Minister Ran
som, General Cox, Attorney
General Osborne Judge Nc Rae.
Senator Butler. Commissioner
Patterson, Otho Wilson, Treas
urer Worth, Walter Henry, ]. J,
Mott, Congressman Stroud, Ed
itor Aver, Loge Harriss, Collec-
tor Simmons, Congressman Shu-
ford and Cy Thompson.
The TACT Of the presence Of
General Ransom and Walter
Henry in the lobby at the same
time brought forth smiles and
reference to Henry's letter Of
recent date in which he paid his
compliments" to General Ran
som.
Mr.. Henry's Democracy has
been before the public for in
spection for the last few weeks
and almost found wanting be-
cause Of the company he kept.
His associates last night will not
tend to raise the publlc's suspic-
ion. Loge Harris had him cor
nered and Otho Wilson kept him
busy good part Of the evening.
It is almost certain that Mr..
Henry has wheeled over" to the
Pops.
General Ransom looks like a
new man since he was here last.
He has improved greatly. He
leaves for Blowing Rock this af-
ternoon, and in two more weeks
will return to his post of duty in
Mexico.
The Republicans grouped
hemselves to one side last night
and discussed the situation in
general. Populists and Demo
Gratis were also engaged. The
Populists are overwhelmed
They want to name the Coy
, ernor, so a we'll known Populis'
says.
I asked a party Of gentlem er
the question, where are we at.
; with Josephus Daniels, Jarvis
, Carr, and other leading Demo
Gratis advocating silver; Senate
Pritchard, a leading Republican
: and Butler and all the Populist
doing the same thing. TIL
I question brought forth a laugh
