who are practically throwing away

than gold, and yet many people putt up

UNIVERSITY VS.. WAKE FOREST

There was a rumor afoat on the
streets yesterday that Wake Forest was
attempting to get a game of baseball
with the University here to-day, but in
vain. 1t is understood that the reason
for falling to obtain a date is that Ath-
letic Park has no fence around it, and
the grounds are in terrible condition.
If the management would repair the
enclosure many good dates could be
played off here, and Raleigh could have
a team of her own to rival any in the
State. it would require but little
money to make the needed repairs, and
no better time than the present can be
found for this to be done.

AN ADDRESS.

Last night the Republican confer
ence committee issued the following
address to the Republicans Of North
Carolina:
To the Republicans of North Carolina:
The undersigned being the commit
tee of five appointed to confer with the
Populist State committee with regard
to cooperation in the pending election
proposed the following plan of cooper
alton:
First, That each party should nomi-
nate and support it's own electoral tick
eft.
Second, Cooperation on the State
ticket by giving to the Republicans the
Governor, Auditor, Attorney General
and one Justice of the Supreme court
and giving to the Populists the Lieut..
Governor, Secretary of State, Treasur-
er, Superintendent of Public Instrue-
ton and one Justice of the Supreme
court.
Third, Cooperation in the Congress-
ional districts and in the counties on
the line of 1894. This proposition was
unanimously adopted by the Republi-
can committee and was rejected on a
bare majority vote by the Populist
committee present.
We believe that this fair and liberal
proposition will commend itself to the
better Judgment Of the unselfish and
fair minded Populists of the State.

| the committee and the reasons therefor
and discuss the general situation. The

tee, while the Populist address was

And thus ended the attempt to fuse
The result of all this can better be
imagined than described. The Repub-
licans were astounded at Butler's bold
ness. They had heretofore considered
fusion q certainty. All their plans had
been laid upon this foundation. Nov
the very men that they relied upon had
failed them, the whole thing was
knocked into a cooked hat, and they
must either ANONYMOUSLY back down
eat more crow than was ever set before
them before, desert their National or
ganization and become, to all intenls
and purposes, Populists, or give up ali
idea Of fusion forever.
Nor were the Republicans the only
people who were biting their lips and
cursing the men who had stood for
principle and resisted the tempting Of
fers OF plumber. There were Populisr
office holders and Populist Office
seekers who had no good prediction
for the result of the day and no good
word for Butler and Kitclin and Guth-
RE and Whitaker and the men who hal
been on theirside ia the fight. But these
were In the decided minority and all
Of them were lesser lights.
Dr. Cyrus Thompson thought that
if Butler had got the two-years term
and Pritchard the six-yeaFs term the
result would have been quite different
And when it was suggested that there
was hardly any doubt of it, for the Re.
publicans would then have been the
Independent crowd, he said that it was
vet 10 be seen whether the crowd would
bax -,
follow the crowd.
When asked what he thought of the
result. Richmond Pearson said he was
somewhat in the fix of Judge Spier
Whitaker, he would have 10 wait for
the committee to tell him what TO
think.
Chairman Holton was the coolest man
Of his whole crowd. and devoted him
self to keeping things together and
getting out the address which is pub
lished below.
Tom Settle was too busy keeping the
ereases in his trousers, and changing
his wilted collar to know much or say
much about what was going on.
1T doesn't make much Difference,
said Senator pritchard, well have flu
sion anyway. Of the 90 counties in the
State, 50 of them will, 10 my personal
knowledge, arrange for local fusion.
The rank and file of both parties want
fusion, and they VIII have it in spite
Of Butler and his committee. They Will
not let his ambition TO be the nominee
for President in 1900 stand in their
way, either. We viii issue an address
to the Populist voters Of the State tell
ing them just how the matter stands.
