FUSION IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Republicans to Sacrifice Principle
to Get a Few Offices.

Raleigh. N. c., Jan. 24,-It has been as
sured for some months that fusion be-
tween the populsts and republicans in
North Carolina was certain, but a great
sensation is now sprung in the shape of
letter signed by the populist chairman
and Senator Marion Butler announcing
that the populists would support only cleo
tors pledged to vote for no man who fla
vOrs gold standard and stating further
that it is more important to have the
electors than to have the governor. This
statement has aroused one wing of the
populists. The populist state committee is
to meet in few days.
The republican state organization Gre
ates more cOmmotion among the pQpulists
by declaring: THAT the next governor of
North Carolina will be republican, is GER
tain. The fact is, that the republicans
are masters of the situation. With any
thing like harmony they will sweep the
state. When it comes to the question of
surrendering to populism and free silver
or keeping in touch with the principles of

barrels of beer were brewed for every

Water was hardly ever drunk, even by
