Mark Hanna has determined at hast
TO give to the leaders of the Republi-
cans in North Carolina all the money
they want Chairman Holton IS
now in New York, having left for that
mort. Tuesday after his conference
in Winston with Ruff Henderson. On
the same night he telegraphed to
Committeeman Patterson here to Iod-
low in his wake with figures
There were two factors at work i'm
this sudden taking off. First, Chair
man Holton got so excited after his
success in yanking Ruff Henderson off
the ticket, and the Pop. Chairman on
that he thought the situation mount
ed up to the Importance of Hnother
stalk with Hanna" He will enter
Hanna's apartments almost GREATNESS
saving. 1.-The last obstacle to success Is
out of our way We have bounced the
last persona non gTata from the tick
ct. namely Mr.. Ruff Henderson, and
we now have in our parlor the Popu-
list chairman, Hal w. Aver" Hanna
will no doubt prick up his ears at that
for owning a Populist chairman"
sounds bigger in New York than it
may sound % Populists down here.
Having displayed that much of his
recently ill-gotten goods, he will, turn
ing to Committeeman Patterson say:
Comm tteeman you will now show
to Mr. Hanna the 'figgers' we gave Mr.
Creelman of the New York World, in
Guiding the latest returns from Wayne
and Buncombe,' and Holton will add:
sThese are all Mckinley and State
wide, YOU will find Mr.. Hanna that
they will wear we'll
Yes these are part of the figures that
Creelman got from Holton and GIANT
the night before he took his departure
from New York. Creelman up to that
moment had been telling Holton that

Said Holton to Grant: THAT means
money from Mark.
Grant: ''Ya-as, | think it's worth a
trip" No." replied Holton, "fhe

Hobart had all the time said that
North Carolina was nothing but rat
hole for Republican money, and North
Carolina would get none of it. But
Hanna made HOBART see it ditferen1I~r-
anyway the money came, and the
white trip precinct slips had worked.
On these slips besides the classified
ton of Republicans, populists, and
Democrats, there were Populists who
will scratch Sewall and Democrats tho
viii scratch Watson. These were the
figures that made the honey-dew ooze
out of the coners of Holton's eyes. the
same honey-dew that the cute Creel-
man What busy Palmer-Buckner
bee with Mckinley string.

Major Grant admitted yesterday to
News and Observer reporter that up
to the printing OF those figures by
Creeiman Hanna and Hobart had no
hope of North Carolina that they had
up to then no intention of putting
money here. But since then things had
been different. Holton not only got sue
cor, but he now goes with supple
mentaFy figures TO get more. That
is what he is now in New York Tor
mainly. Of course, his piece de resis-
tanee viii be the great bargain he
struck ia pocketing the Populist State
chairman, Hal. Aver.
Will the Populists be bought with
Aver? They get no place; Aver gets
the place He is no Populist at
heart. He is politically nothing.
He pretended not to know
anything about his having been put
on the Republican ticket instead of
Henderson. But he said he only hoped
it was true Of course, he did. II he
had not hoped il were true, his action
would doubtless been different from
what it was when he helped TO seq. out
the Populists al the committee meet
