RAILROAD TO SOUTHPORT.
Rank and File of Democrats Endorse
Electoral Fusion.

Wilmington, y. c., Aug. 10.-(Spe-
cial. THE new railroad from this city
to Southport is Row being constructed,
and the work is being pushed with
energy. About two hundred hands
are cleaning the way and grading the
roadbed. This constructive force
have been at work only about ten days,
and in that time have graded five miles
of track. The distance from this place
TO Southport is thirty miles. 1t is
thought trains will be running
through to Southport by the first of
December next. Some of the citizens
here think the building of this road
Will injure Wilmington, while others
entertain a contrary view.
For the past five weeks this city has
been filled with eXcursionists. The
number of excursions and excursion
lists during that time has been unpre-
cedented in the history of Wilmington.
Thousands of strange faces from all
over the State, some as far west as Mt.
Airy, have thronged the marts and
thoroughfares here during the time re
ferred to. There are more excursions
run into Wilmington in one year than
into any other city on the Atlantic
coast of America.
The season at the seaside resorts,
Ocean View and Carolina Beach, has
been unusually lively, and the hotels
and cottages have been taxed to their
utmost capacity to accommodate the
crowds that have thronged these in
viting resorts.
Politics at this time constitute
lively theme for discussion on the
streets. The discussions are confined
almost entirely to Democrats. The
Republicans and Populists are saying
very little. They seem to be without
any defined method of procedure.
While this is so, they at the same time
are united and ready at a moments
notice to fall into line in support of
whatever policy is outlined by
their respective parties. The Demo
Gratis are not so we'll disciplined. Each
man seems to embody an independent
policy of his own, and constitutes as
many parties. The recent action of
the State Democratic Executive com
mittee has been very much cussed and
discussed. Self-constituted leaders are
bitterly opposed to any action looking
to cooperation with the Populists for
the election of State and National
ticket, but the rank and file of the
party are highly elated at the pros
pect Of such result. The country
people are almost a unit for Joining
forces with the Populists. They are
ready to do all in their power for the
State and party.

81 Am A POPULIST."
''8ut So Help Me God Shall Do All
Can to Defeat Mckinley,

The writer was in the court house
this morning discussing electoral fu-
sion with a violent middle-of-the-road
Populist. The Populist said that he
was going to Raleigh as a delegate to
the State convention and that he would
use all his influence for the election of
straight Populist electors. The writer
asked him if he did not know that that
course would give the State to McKin-
ley? The middle-of-the-road man said
that he did not much care if it did, that
Mckinley was as good as Bryan. A fine
looking old country gentleman who
had been listening to the conversation,
arose, and, with much emotion, said:
Take heed of what / say young man.
The mass of the people of Cumberland
want Mckinley defeated, and the only
way to do that is to unite on Bryan.
He must be elected or we will remain
what we are to-day, financial serfs."
The Populist turned to him and said:
You are Democrat, are you not|'
mo, sir" replied the old gentleman,
with emphasis. Il started with the
Populist party, and am still Popu-
list, but so help me God, shall do all
| can to defeat Mckinley and. the mon
opolists, and woe to the Populist lead
ers if they defeat this great wish of
our people. "-Fayetteville Observer.

FUSION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Difficulties Which Beset the Advocates
of Compromise.

Washington, August ESPECIAL to
the New York Tribune. 1.-The only
Southern State where Populism plays
a commanding part in politics is North
Carolina. The situation there has
changed sufficiently within day or
two TO make the following statements
from prominent North Carolinians,
visitors in this city, worth publish
ING. One of them was asked what the
situation was with reference to the
much clouded question of State and
local fusion. He replied:
II think there will be three tickets
all around. A great deal has been SAID
as to a cooperation on the old terms
between Republicans and Populists. !
very much doubt if it is probable now
1t has been known that the leaders of
one wing of the Republican party, the
wing which nominated
Russell for Governor, are heartily IA
yorable TO a revival of the arrange
ment which was so successful in the
last election. But the circumstances
are different. There would be a great
growing out of the double
fusion Of Republicans with Populists
on local and of Democrats with Popu-
lists on National issues; and this, with
the stiff attitude assumed by the
Populists, will probably cause the
breaking off of relations between the
Republicans and the Populfsts.
THE Populists are falling very indie
pendently these days. l have not seen
Butler in some time and can only
quote what he says in his paper and
the rumors about his attitude. He
saws that silver must win in North
Carolina. He surely can't expect that
the Democrats, who are three or four
times as large as his own party, are
going to drop their candidate for Vice
President and vote for Watson. Going
back to the State ticket, the Demo-
Gratis have not agreed to any terms
of fusion, and there is considerable
opposition to even a coalition on cleo
tors.
"Neverthless / think that two-thirds
of the party would be willing to CO.
alesce for the purpose of carrying the
State. But just there is the rub. The
other third are necessary, and they
would never yield. AS to the gold
Democrats, there are hardly five thou
sand in the State who are opposed to
Bryan and Sewall. OF all parties com
bined there are not more than $4,000
voters who are not free silver men out
of the 100000 white voters of the State.
Many of the negroes are also free silver
men,"

man in a hundred is perfectly healthy.

Constipation is the root Of rine4enths Of

OF 1873 to 1879, when we were under
paper money. lie recalled suits before
Judge Gilpin at New Castle to hreak
contracts for Ubiquitous and usuri rus
interest which had been required in
Wilmington in that period. Mr..
Higgins admitted that more than half
the world don't know gold. Asia, Mexico
and parts of South America use silver.
As to their products affecting our
interests they are injurious, but
nothing like as injurious as the
free silver people made 1t out He de-
clared there is not enough Indian
wheat to affect the market. The silver
problem is not affected by Argentine
and Russia, neither of which is on a
silver basis. After eight years OF full
crops Of wheat, one average crop makes
the price OF wheat go up. He ventured
to predict that wheat would 20 to a
dollar bushol before the end Of the
year. He asked the American laborer il
he would be willing to accept 50 cent
dollars under free silver. Ii he would
the farmer would get the benefit; but
il the laborer wanted two dollars for
one now the farmer would have no ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Higgins held that prospects were
brighter for bimetallism. He had voted
for the Sherman law and for it's repeal,
not to abandon silver but to uphold 1t.
lie favored opposition to England and
monometallic Esrope. France was
willing to enter into an international
agreement il Germany and England
would. The disparity between gold and
silver may force England to agree on
account Of trade relations with the
Orient. Mr.. Higgins thought our
position of mastery inactivity was
the best to bring England ani Europe
to terms and that an international
agreement would be made.
In discussing the tariff question and
the future he said the protective system
would be restored and we would buy nc
more bonds and without taking Mr..
Bryan's dose Of free coinage of silver.
The promise of Mckinley's success has
already started the golden stream
hitherward.
Among other references for the
future Mr.. Higgins said We will in ONT
way or another annex Hawaii. If it's
not done before we will settle this
Cuban question. He believed it will
be done without war, but if war bt
needed we'll not be afraid. Reciprocit,
will be restored and the country viii
enter upon an era of prosperity.
