the glass, and that good tickets were
on the way to replace them.
After this was done Father Worth
dried his eyes, folded his hands in
martyr-lilze way across his lap and
heaved a mighty sigh of relief that
made the flag pole on top OF the Capitol
tremble with JOY. Chairman Aver re-
turned to headquarters, and OHIO VII
son resumed the work of distributing
the Hayseeder.
Information has been received at
Democratic headquarters that 100000
tickets have been printed and circulat-
ed in different parts of the State bear
ing the device straight Populist Tick
ct" containing only the names of the
Popnlist electors and leaving off the
names of the Democratic and silver
Republican electors. One of these
tickets has been received by Chairman
Manly in this form. 1t is understood
that the official ticket, as sent out from
the Populist headquarters, has no de-
vice at all. and contains eleven electors.
These bogus tickets were not printed
in the city of Raleigh, and were dis
trihuted from a different place. Let
no Populist or Democrat be deceived
by these. 1t is one of the Hanna tick
cts by which it is expected to secure
half the votes of the Popul SITS for Nc
Kinley. and i'm the meantime anger the
Democrats, hoping thereby 20 induce
them to cut bhe Populist electors.
Every man who favors the election of
Bryan will, of course, vote tl}e entire
eleven electors as printed on the Of

1.-THE PopuIist executive committee
of the Ninth district, evidently discov-
ering that Chairman Aver was devot-
ing too much of his time in hanging
around his brother chairman, Hol-
ton, to get til Bryan-Guthrie tickets
out on time, had the tickets for the
district printed themselves" said a
gentleman from the West yesterday
And as these Populists preferred to
vote for, as well as discuss principles,
they had Mr.. Adams name instead of
that of Mr.. Pearson put on the ticket"
Mr.. Pearson is the McKinley-Ru
gold-bug candidate, and Mr.. Adams is
the Bryan Watson silver candidate.
The honest Populists of that district
naturally want, and intend to vote
for, Mr.. Adams. When Chairman Aver
and Holton heard of this they straight
way hustled off the contract ticket
with Parsons name on it, and Aver
said ugly words-actually used "cuss"
words in condemnation of the blamed
fool Populists up in the mountains"
for not standing by his trade.
Ohio Wilson, in his "Hayseeder"
says "Jim Young made an excellent
Representative in the last Legislature,
why should he not again be elected?
Why, certainly. Jim will vote for
Pritchard, a gold-bug, and Mckinley
and Russell gold-bugs course Ohio
wants Jim reelected. He also "de-
sires the election of Russell" And
$4,000 have been sent to this State to
carry it for Mckinley and the gold
bugs. And Ohio takes sugar in
his'n.'
Is Father Worth going to vote for
the negro Jim Young to represent
Wake county in the Legislature :?
Otho Wilson says Jim ought to be re-
elected. There are some of the white
Populists of Wake who do not agree
with him. Just a few.
DR.. Cy. Thompson is making red
hot speeches, for a fact. He is doing
his best in Settles district to get
the Populists to vote for Daily, whom
Maj. Guthrie says is a decoy in the
interest of Settle. And all of Set
ties followers shout over Cy's speech
es. He urges his Pop. friends not to
vote for Democrats, which, of course,
is in the interest of Russell, Settle
and the other gold-bugs.
Jim Young voted for Shaffer's bill
to tax all the churches in Raleigh the
same as other property. Parson Leak
and the other pastors and church
going people are laying for Jim and
they will let him know their views
on this question when they go to vote.
The following letter has been sent
to Winston by Chairmen Holton and
Manly, so that the public may know
why neither of the two chairmen vote:
"As the undersigned are on oppo-
site sides of the present political con-
test, and the necessities of party or
ganization demand their presence in
Raleigh on election day, we have a.
greed, for our mutual convenience, to
pair our votes at the election on No
vember 3rd.'
The new election law allows a device
to be put upon the tickets. 1t is said
that the Republican ticket this year
is printed on pink paper with Jay
bird at the head of it, This report
could not be confirmed.
1T was reported here yesterday that
Senator Butler was on his way to
North Carolina to take a final look
at the sad wreck Chairman Aver and
Otho Wilson have made of his party.
Senator Butler has not registered and
so will not vote in this election.
Chairman Aver is having a large
circular containing Maj Guthrie's adj
dress and his answer to it printed
here and in Winston and mailed to
