speaks Of it with contempt. The News

This rump concern, representing Z

appointed a committee TO confer with
the Republican leaders, and that N
agreement had been made for fusion
on the terms proposed by the Republi.
can executive committee.
On all sides yesterday, the Republi-
cans said: The Populists have given
up to US, surrendered and come 10 our
terms. They will accept what we will
give them. We have made arrange
ments with their representatives,, and
the thing is fixed now, and Butler. the
Progressive Farmer and The CAucAs-
IAN can come along or not, Just as they
please" The Populists may or may
not fuse with the Republicans. 1t is a
matter OF no concern to US, but the
pretense that there was q meeting OF
Populists here this week is the great
est fraud OF this day OF frauds and
shams. The little coterie of office
holders presented a farcical fiasco-
only that and nothing more.
The Raleigh correspondent OF the
Charlotte Observer speaks of the
trump convention as follows:
Senator Pritchard said that it look
ed to him like that there were two or
three hundred of these POpulist who
wanted fusion; that at every turn he
met one who said: How do you do
Senator? | am with you for fusion"
Your correspondent suggested that
these amiable Populists were numer-

New England trade. The seller sold
the horns at the front door of the store
while his accOmplice stole them out of
the rear door, thus keeping up con-
tinuous circuit of the same horns"

Governor Matthews, of Indiana. who
has been posing as a free silver man
and who has been talked of by the free
silver Democrats as a probable candi-
date for the Presidency, is out i'm an
interview in which he hedges and
straddles on the money question. IL
IS hard to tell from his interview lust
where he stands but one thing is plain,
and that is that he is opposed to free
silver at the ratio of Is to i. This means
tnat the Indiana delegation to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention will not
stand squarely for silver, but will be
ready to hedge, straddIe and dodge

| A BILL TO PREVENT FURTHER IssuE
OF BooDs.
On last Friday Senator Butler called
attention to the fact that the admins
tration had started up the "endIess
chain" again, and was drawing gold
from the treasury at the rate Of over
one million dollars per day. He showed

that it was the duty of Com ress before

Dill like it to prevent further issue
OF bonds without the consent of Con
Sfess: Senator Butler then asked
unanimous consent to fix a day when
the Senate would vote on this bill to
prevent the further issue of bonds.
Senator Hill promptly objected .
wnereupon, Senator Butler gave no,
tlce that as soon as the present appro-
prlation bill was disposed of. h.
would move to take up his bill for con-
sideration and action. 1t is proba
that the fight over this bill will come
up next week.

square, open, manly fight. They had
no deal-no collision. If they could
win by virtue of their own strength
they wanted the victory-not other
wise. When combinations were made

The CAUCASIAN as Populists ever
sent any such communication TO
the Republican convention as it
claims to have received. And while
we cannot speak for the Peoples
Party State convention IN advance,
il is nevertheless our firm convection
that those men claiming to be Popu-
lists, and who made the proposition
the Republicans claim to have re-
ceived, will be looked upon with the
gravest suspicion by the Populist
convection, and u they intrude them
selves there in any way or form,
they will come without being wanted
and without welcome.
A number OF Populists in tho
State received, soon after the meet
ing Of the State committee, q circu-
lar letter signed by Messrs. Amos
and Gill, Of Vance county. The
purpose Of that circular was to have
meeting Of Populists in Raleigh
when the Republican convention

TERMS the Republicans might name,

Less than twenty people respond
ed to their call, though it is reported
that they claimed to represent SEW
ENTY COUNTIES. The truth, so far
as THE CAUCASIAN could ascertain it,
was that only two counties had del
egates present who represented any
body. These were Vance and Mont
gomery, and about one fourth Of the
whole number that attended the
meeting were from Vance county.
