All Labor Organizations In the County
Requested to Take Similar
Action

The wisdom of the Democracy of
Wake county in nominating the ticket
that is now asking the suffrages of
the people is being daily demonstrated.
1t is universally acknowledged, both
by it's friends and opponents, to be, on
the whole. the best ticket ever put out,
and as the campaign progresses its
strength becomes more and more APP
parent. 1t represents all classes and
callings, and both Iaborng man and
capitalist are rallying to it's support.
The Raleigh printers have endorsed
Mr.. n b. Broughton, who is a candidate
for the House, and requested every
branch of organized labor in the coun-
ty to take similar action. They de
clare him a fit representative of every
trades union and the laboring classes
Of this State, and express the belief
that his election will rebound to the
interest of the workingman.

ed by the Raleigh Typographical

believing that the time has come
in the history of the IaborIng classes
of our country when every working
man should rally to the support of a
fellow-workman, when presented for
their support for political honors;
further believing that the nomination
Of Mr.. n. B. Brougfhton, a fellow-crafts-
man and d former active member of
this Union, is a fit representative of
every trades union and the laboring
classes of this county and State; and
further believing that the election of
Mr.. Broughton to a seat in the House
of Representative will rebound to the
interest Of the working men, it is
therefore
RESOLVED, That Raleigh Topographic

the candidacy of Mr.. Broughton; do
respectfully request every branch of

FUSION ON MAGISTRATES.

Several days ago the Republicans
and Populists proposed to fuse with
the Democrats in Raleigh township on
magistrates, which are this year Ito be
elected by the people. They delivered
their proposition orally to Chairman
j. n. Holding of the Democratic county
executive committee, and yesterday he
replied by submitting counter pro-
position, viz: That he would submit
to his committee a proposition for an
equitable division of magistrates
throughout the county He said he
could not for moment entertain any
other proposition. The fusionists
were not willing to this, so the matter
