ANY GOOD MAN,

It is said that Hon. Thomas E. Wat
son is not Satisfied with the Populist
fusion with Sewall electors, and we
don't blame him. If we thought Sewall
would be elected we would never con
sent to vote for a Sewall elector. II
we understand the programme. this
fusion arrangement will not result in
Sewall's election, but we fear that it
will leave Watson out also. However,
u sentiment is expressed by The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER when it saws that
IF they don't want to give us Tom
Watson, give US n not so good. A
man one-third Is good as Watson
would be a decided improvement on
Sewall."- Oar Home, Marshville, N. @.

TO SELECT A NATIONAL

We understand that a number of
leading meni in the State have requested
Governor Carr to appoint two dele

States to select a national flower and
ask Congress to ratify the choice" Of

he has never refused leading men"

The outcome of the whole matter
will be to give some people jobS-to do
next to nothing. This is an age of
jobbery. Those who can't hang on to
the county, State or National treasury
in some way are trying to attach them
