sion. They have been saying all along
that the Dockery men opposed fusion.
But want to tell you right now that
the Dockery people will give them their
stomachs full Of fusion before they
get through. Listen out for the mu-
sic. The band will play before this
show is over"
WILL ENGLISH REFUSE?
1t is reported that DR.. Nereus G.
English, of Randolph county, who was
nominated by the Republicans for
Congress in their convention here last
week, sees the trap that has been set
for all unwary Populists and will not
fall into the catch-vote pit-fall. 1t is
said that. he will refuse the nomina-
ton.
The naming Of this well-lnown Al
lianceman by the Republican Congress
sional convention was meant to be a
coup that would at one bold stroke
capture the Populist vote bodily for
the Republican ticket. But the Pop
ulists seem to see through this thinly
yelled scheme. They see the hook
through the bait.
There will be a Republican candi-
date in this District whether DR.. Eng
lish runs or not" said Republican
yesterday, you can just put that in
your pipe and smoke il"
Affairs seem to be considerably mix
ed in this district, so far as Republic
cans and Populists are concerned.

RUSSELL'S RECEPTION.
All during the fight for the nomi-
nation Judge Russell's face has worn q
he-won 't-be-happy-t ill-he-gets-i eX-
preston. Now that he's got it, he finds
that his rose bush is pretty well sup
piled with thorns. Instead Of going
back to his home in Wilmington Sun
day morning, he went to his Bruins
wick county farm. The Wilmington
Star says:
"A very small gathering of negroes
assembled at the railroad depot Satur-
day afternoon, expecting to greet
Judge Russell on his return from Raj
eigh, burt the Judge did not put in an
appearance. Was he afraid Of the saw
ages? The banner with the strange
deyice-"Russell Our Choice''-arrived
and was paraded through the streets,
but was scarcely noticed"
