Congressman Settle Talks of the
Prospects in North Carolina.
THINKS THEY ARE GOOD

The republican congressional committee is
Increasing it's efforts every day. Docu-
ments are being mailed in great quantities.
a large force Of clerks is engaged upon the
correspondence Of the committee and every
body on the premises is working under high
pressure. Chairman Babcock is expected
to return some time this week. Several
kilograms have been received from him,
and, although brief, convey reassuring in
formation as to the republican situation in
the west.
The committee receives in it's mail every
day numerous voluntary offers Of assist
ance in the preparation of campaign docu-
ments, showing that individuals all over
the country are aroused to the questions OF
the hour, and are bending their own efforts
in aiG of the republican campaign. In
n.any cases people are printing at their own
cost documents bearing upon the financial
question, presenting in their own language
their ideas upon the subject, and the copy
right Of these pamphlets is proffered TO
the committee without charge.
A sample Document.
One of them received this morning was
entitled patriotism and Gold Against An
afchy and Silver" The writer's name Is
rot attached, but on the fly leaf is the fol-
lowing: You may use all or any portion of
this in any way that will help the cause Of
honest money. If every man who receives
a copy would have five hundred copies
made by his local printer and placed in the
hands Of the wage earners and farmers
within his reach he would help the educa-
uonsl campaign which must be conducted
to defeat the anarchists and the free silver
conspirators." The committee is also del
uged with offers from enterprisng indi-
vlduals VINO have campaign devices, badges
and catchy emblems to dispose OF for a
consideration.
To Work Among the Germans.
The fact that a majority of the German
democratic newspapers throughout the
country have bolted the free silver ticket
and have come out for Mckinley and Ho-
bart and the gold standard will not pre-
vent the republican committee from con-
Quoting vigorous campaign among the
Germans. To this end campaign docu-
ments will be translated into the German
language and distributed throughout the
German colonies in the big cities AID the
farming districts. One OF the principal
documents to be thus handled Will be Bah
cock on Money! which is now in course OF
translation and Will soon be in the hands
of the readers. Arrangements will tie
made for placing German campaign speak
ers upon the stump who will address leu
tCnic races in the language of the father
land. The national committee will also
translate documents into other foreign Ian
guageS especially Scandinavian, for use in
the agricultural districts of the nor;hwes..
Prospects in North Carolina.
Congress man Settle of North Carolina
was a visitor at congressional headquarters
today, and had long talk with Vice Chair
man Apsley about the conditions and pros
poets in his state. Later MIR. Settle talked
with Star reporter.
There is good prospect of the repubIi-
cans electoral ticket winning in North
Carolina" he said. Il think there is more
probability of the populists making a fu-
sicn ticket with the republicans than with
the democrats. Our republican state con-
venticn nominated skeleton ticket, leav-
ing a number of places untitled for the
popullSts to fill. The convention of the lat
ter will be held August II, and l think
there is a good chance that they will con-
clude to form combination win US upon
the basis of the last campaign. The demo-
Gratis, oil course, are making overiures with
the populsts for a fusion with the Bryan
ticket. but do not believe they Will sue
ceed.''
The handbook of the congressional COM
mittee is now in the press, and Will he
ready for distribution by the 18th instant.
