RALEIGH. March 5, 1895.

Last night the Republicans
and the Populists held separate
caucuses owe spoils. When
spoils r the bone of conten-
ton there is always likely to be a
fight and caucuses last night were
no exception to the rule. In the
Republican caucus a motion was
made by Moody to demand the
Railroad Commissioner but, this
was Immediately voted down.
Then French made a motion that
they should have the code com
missioners. This was carried. 1t
seems that Grant and Moody had
made an agreement with the
Governor that he should appoint
three persons, from the Populists
and Republicans to I'LL vacancies
on the boards of the Asylums at
Goldsboro. Raleigh and Nor
canton. It "a proposed yester-
day that there should be six more
appointed, SO as to give the
fusionists control. Moody want
ed this done, but the caucus would
not agree, reminding him that he
ana Grant were not running the
party or the caucus Moody left
the hall. mad all over and shout
ing out, you won't get the Code
Commissioners"
In the Populist caucus things
were not serene, 1t was decided
first 20 allow the Republicans
only the clerk Of the Code Com
missioners and then not to allow
them anything. 1t was said that,
putting a money valuation on
the offices the Republicans had
the best OF the bargain by some
1920, 900.
Yesterday afternoon the edu-
cational committee and heard the
side of the opponents Of State
aid to higher educational in
situations. Senator Fortunes
bill first came up and was nicely
downed, only two members Of the
committee voting for it. His
bill took away all appropriation.
W. W. Jones, Esq, spoke
against the University, DIR. Win
ston, during his speech saying
that his statements were absO-
lutely false. DR.. Winston then
spoke for two hours, but was Of
ten interrupted by Durham. He
and Durham finally became in
volved iii a personal argument,
throwing the lie in each others
faces repeatedly. The commit
tee finally adjourned to meet this
afternoon, when Durham will be
heard.
Rumor has it that Senator
Grants very conservative &C
lions lately r brought about by
the fact that he will be an aspir-
amt for Congressman two years
hence.

ter OF the city Of Raleigh las
