morning at II o'clock.
They we're all there and they hob
nnbbed together all the morning and
early afternoon until 4 o'clock when
they went up into the dance hall on
the fifth floor Of the hotel and began
to make speeches, in secret caucus, on
the question of fusion. Butler presided
and called on them by dis
triets. They talked long but
not loud until 6:15 o'clock
when they adjourned, with the under
standing that the committee would
meet again at o'clock last night and
take into consideration what had been
said and appoint committee, II they
deemed 1t advisable, to confer with
the like committee from the Republi-
can party to-day.
The populist Executive committee is
composed of the following: Marion
Butler. chairman; Hal. w. Aver, secre-
tary: Major w. A. Guthrie, Durham;
Col. Harry Skinner, Greenville; Capt.
". TT. Kitchin, Scotland Neck; Capt.
A. s. Peace, oxford; Dr. Cyrus Thomp-
son, Richards, and the chairmen OF
the Congressional districts, with one
other member from each district.
At o'clock last night this commit
tee. almost every member of which
was present, met in Senator Buffers
room, No. AZ. to discuss the general
situation and take into consideration
what had been said in the caucus dur
ing the afternoon on the question OF
fusion.
1t was evident early in the session
that the discussion would be long one
and that there had to be some conces-
sions made, so wide was the difference
Of opinion and so determined were the
opposing factions. There was how
ever. one point on which they could
all agree. that was that they were IN
favor of fusion in theory. The ques-
ton at issue was how that theory was

fully carried out. No matter which

way they turned nor what they SAID
there ever rose before them the image
of the honest old farmer in his country
home, toiIing for his bread and voting
as he believed was right and on the
side Of principle. He would not down
ut their bidding, and how to deaden
his political conscience and make him
willing to join hands with the Republi-
can gold bugs was the problem that
was troubling them.
The discussion at times waxed warm
and the burden Of the speeches was
the terms upon which fusion should
be consummated.
While all this was going on in No. As,
Chairman Holton was down in the
lobby swearing that he would never
consent to let the Populists have Gov
ernor. He said that if they would not
yield in committee he proposed to still
foht IT out in conconvention and adyo-
cate the nomination Of candidate for
Governor by the Republicans. "But,
he added Eve viii fuse, no doubt
about that; this is simply a fight on
the part OF the Populists to get a lions
share Of the offices"
Finally at 2 o'clock the following
committee was appointed to meet
like committee from the Republican
party TO consider the question of flu
sion aud division of the Offices:
Marion Butler, a. S. Peace, S. Otho
Wilson, j.. Hamrick, j.. NJ Cutchin,
The committee appointed by the Re-
publican committee consists of Jeter
G. Pritchard, Thomas Settle, A. r..
Iolton, il. j. Grant, James Ell. Young.
The sentiment OF the committee as
expressed in the caucus during the af-
ternoon was decidedly in favor of flu
sion, the majority Of the members
wanted fusion only on State and cOun-
ty As to the National ticket. they de-
clared that the Populists in their see
ton were strongly in favor Of silver,
and would not vote for nor with gold
bug when it came 10 National matters
that though they were in favor Of al
most anything to beat the Democrats,
they would not go to the extent OF sac
rifcing their principles on the money
question. There we're others who
thought that the party was as yet too
weak To stand alone sin the middle Of
the road They declaredthat their only
hope Of success lay in compromise, con-
ciliation, cooperation, with one or the
other parties. To 90 back to the Dem
ocrats was, they said out of the ques-
ton. The populists in their vicinity
would never hear Of it. Only the Repub-
lean party was left, and to it they
must go, or defeat was certain and the
triumph of Democracy inevitable
When this situation was properly pre-
scented TO the rank and file, they would
prefer by all odds to make some sacri-
fee and join the Republicans. These
were in favor of making q proposition
to the Republicans, and should it be re-
fused, then ask for proposition from
them. and thus make the best terms
possible.
There was still a third class who fa-
vored fusion in theory, but who could
not figure out how it could be made 10
work. The editor Of Hickory Mercury
was of this latter class. He said the

that not even the mossiest and most

And Pat Ilxum was here, pretty well
tanned up from exposure on his goat
farm. but on the whole looking well
and thinking, no doubt, though he
didn't say as much, that he was III
much better condition to lrun for Gov
ernor than he was in 1892 when he
was showed under so deep that it took
his friends a week to find where he
was at. Mr.. Exum has a grievance, and
that grievance is against Senator
Butler. What the exact nature of it
is he has not yet told, or rather he
didn't tell the reporter. But he inti-
mated very freely that he had not
been exactly treated squaTely. He is
decidedly in favor Of fusion at any
cost.
s.The time has come said he, when
no one man, nor two or three men, for
that matter, can control the Populist
party. There will be fusion even If
the committee should decide against
it. The mass Of the Populist party are
not fools. They do not propose to
throw away what they have already
gained. And ais for Butler, he is los
ing bis influence very rapidly. His
paper is an amphibian, neither fish nor
fowl, and its circulation is dropping off
like terrapins tumbling from a
log. have not had my hands on the

as he fingered the Mckinley button on
the lapel of his coat, there will be
fusion. I have not met a man here,
outside of Butler, who is opposed to it.
There will be fTlsiM or these men are
consummate frauds" and he straight
ened up his head as if he were able and
ready to substantiate the charge he had
made.
The Honorable Spier Whitaker, who
is mighty anxious to be Governor, has
been much in evidence. He has hung
around the hotel ever since the first
lone populist arrived and he has been
there pretty nearly ever since. Some
times he has one man off in a corner
in most earnest and confidential con-
fab, then you will see him next time
with crowd around him--the crowd
doing the listening and the Judge do
ing the talking. He's a good tallxer,
is Judge Whitaker, and especially when
he has an axe to grind and that axe is
to become Governor of North Carolina
When asked about fusion, he smiled,
then looked grave for a moment, as he
scanned the horizon, carefully placed
his cane under his arm and smiled
again as he said slowly: "I'm waiting
for the committee to tell me what to
think"

The Silver Meetirr

In his address before the Fifth Ward
Bryan Free Silver club last night AL
bert Griffin said:
This year the American people have
to decide whether their efforts and their
votes are to go toward the election of
a candidate who is in favor of cOntin-
u1ng the present sad condition of af-
fairs in this cOAntry, or to go to a
candidate who will reverse these condi-
tons. Because I am a Republican
propose to vote for the Democratic ma
tiOnal platform and the POpulist state
platform. love the grand old party,
but don't propose to continue fight
ing in a graveyard.
The great problem is not whether
we are to have more money or not, but
1t is whether we are to have more real
money or more of the fictitious, bank
credit, panic causing money. There
never was a commercial panic in this
or any other country or in this or any
other age that was not caused by this
fictitious money as a substitute for real
money As long as this system is al
lowed to continue we are bound to have
periodical panics.
THE greatest objection advanced by
the gold men against the remonetiza-
ton Of silver is that under such a con-
ditiOn everything would be doubled;
that consumers would pay double for
what they bought, but that the pro-
ducers would still only receive half the
value of what they produced. That if
eggs were selling now for 10 cents a
dozen, under the reconciliation of sill
yer consumers would have to pay 20
cents for this dozen, but that the pro-
ducers would receive only cents. They
fail to explain where the extra Is cents
would co.
In speaking of the practice of coer-
ciOn INDUCED in in this campaign, Mr..
Griffin said that it was causing the
American people to sink morally and
politically, and that if allowed to con-
tinue this country would no longer be
the land of the brave and the home
of the free, but rather the land of the
slave and the home of the sneak
