THE CONFERENCE IN RALEIGH.
Holton Says the PopuIists Still Demand
the Governor.

Winston, n. c., July fS.-(SpeeiaD-
Chairman Holton returned from Raj
eigh this afternoon. In an interview
ne said the Republican-Populist con-
ference last night did not last over
twenty minutes. Populists, he says,
still demand governor as a condition
to fusion, while Republicans are al
most unanimously opposed to giving
up governor. Holton claims there is
nothing at present to indicate Russell
coming down. He says he is not res
ponsible for all the talk which has
been in the air and newspapers, ever
since the Republican State convention,
about the Judge Withdrawing. He
says these reports emanate from some
of those who make the accusation a
gainst him.
A representative of the Leather
Trust told a party of gentlemen in
Winston yesterday that his company
had subscribed half million dollars
to the Mckinley campaign fund and
would contribute as much more if it
was necessary.

UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL
Closes the Most Successful Session in
Its History.

Chapel Hill, n. c., July 1S.-(Spe-
cial) 1.-The University Summer School
closed it's third session yesterday I'M
der circumstances memorable to all
who witnessed them. The large body
of teachers whose work during the
past four weeks has been characterized
by faithfulness, zeal and enthusiasm,
were faithful. Jealous and enthusiastic
to the end.
The Superintendent of the school,
Professor Alderman, is a teacher Of
teachers. His bit of vacation and rest
at the North added new strength to
this strong man, and the school receiv-
ed new impetus when he, in the midst
of the session, sound in body and more
SO in mind. began to direct its duties
theoretically and with vigOr. 1t is his
settled conviction, and all who in the
least know the work of the school
agree with him, that this summer
gathering of teachers for work and
entertainment lis an essential in our
State educational life. The beginning
was real, the continuance is a necessity.
1t forms a happy meeting ground Of
all that is progressive, that is insp,r-
ing, that is educationally helpful.
And a fit place it is, meath the oaks
for such an audience. The rich and
the poor in method, the high and the
low, the college professor and the pub
lie school teacher sit together here and
learn of each other. The University
in. spirit and in fact, binds together
common and higher education In indis-
soluble union. Grateful recognition of
this fact is felt in the hearts of public
school teachers whom this summer a
genuine University spirit has quick
ened
The Superintendent said in his in
comparable and unequalled manner,
that the State had seen no more heroic
spectacle tiBan tired and worn teachers
with small salaries leaving home and
spending their mite to make them
selves better and filter leaders of child
hood.
And they have not been disappOint-
ed. To. have known and felt Apyar
Smith, Miss Thomas and Mrs. Little,
tends towards liberal education and a
tr7uer regard for truth. These experts
and others have taught and learned
at once They have brought breadth
of thought and culture to others and
they have become more thoughtful and
cultured. Smith says he got more than
he gave. Graham said he was the old
est and the youngest teacher in the
State; oldest in years and youngest IN
spirit.
With no misgivings as to the future
of this school was the adjournment
pronounced. Those who have aided
and guarded it's interests and watched
it's welfare know that an institution
and organism of such good and power
must exist through the years.

MR.. ANDREW ID. WHITES BUGLE
BLAST.

Mr.. Andrew ID. White, who was once
President of Cornell University and
afterwards Minister to Russia, has
written an open letter to certain well
known gold Democrats calling on them
TO come to the support of Mckinley,
and thus repudiate free silver. Lit
ahounds in reference like mob, IAN
arcbists." ''Jacobins,' 'swindlers" and
the like. and is even fuller of abusive
epithets than the New York Sun. We
confess to some surprise that
scholar of his reputation should adopt
the language Of blatherskites and fish
women in discussing a question upon
which the greatest men differ, and we
rould not understand the ranting OF
his scholar until the Springfield Re-
publican furnished the explanation. II
not only explains Mr.. Whites abusive
@apithets, but explains his position as
well The Republicans says:
I'VE can explain Mr.. Whites out
burst only ON the theory that he
at heart profoundly distrusts the
people. If he were resident in
Germany he would probably sup
port the Emperor, in Russia the
Gar, and if subject of the Queen
he would probably be warm adj
herent of that tory school of
thought which has always opposed
an extension of the suffrage among
the masses. Is this not so? We re-
call that Mr.. White in 1889 was
leading candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for Governor of
New York, but he was finally cast
aside for the brilliant young
stateman of the lower tier, Jacob
;5loat Fassett Of Elmira. And why
was Mr.. White east aside? Be
ause it was proved to the Republic
scan leaders that in his books he
had taken ground against uniFer-
sal suffrage, and was unsympathe-
tic with what we understand now
adays as government by the peo-
pie. OF course, if that is Mr..
Whites fundamental position he
must be regarded as a natural
enemy of all so-called popular
movements or uprising and ean-
not be expected TO see in a demand
for 10 to ] or a protest against
government by Injunction any
thing short of anarchy"

A -DER5AN FOR PRESIDENT.
A Student of the University dominates
Him 10 Succeed Winston.

To the Editor: The time is draw.
ing near when the Trustees of the
University will select a president to
succeed DIR. Winston and it is not out
of place that a student should publicly
express his preference. He, who would
control successfully the students and
hold the University up to the high wa
ter mark reached by DIR. Winston, must
be one who already has the entire con-
tidence and respect of the student
body. He should have such an infiu-
ence when he assumes his duties and
not have to win it. We do not see
the necessity of leaving our State or
even our faculty to get a man to pre-
side over our destinies. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that we should have one
who has made himself prominent as a
lawyer or politician. We want an ed
ucator, North Carolinian, young
man with energy, ambition and de-
termination, who will work for the
best interest of education not only at
the University, but throughout tine
entire State.
There is no man better suited for
this place than Prof. Edwin A. Alder
man. He has been here only three
years, but has won the respect and adj
miration of the entire student body,
and they would greet his election with
a shout of delight. He is closely con-
nected with the graded and other
school interest of the State and could
do more than any one else to elevate
the cause of public education.
A fluent speaker, born teacher,
thorough organizer and manager of
men, he would draw the University
nearer the hearts of all true lovers of
education. Let us have him.

WEAVER AND FIELDS POSITION

In 1892, the Populists nominated
Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, and Gen. James
G. Field, Of Virginia, for president
and Nice-president. It has already
been announced that Gen. Weaver will
heartily support Bryan and Sewall.

General James G. Field, prom
inent lawyer and farmer Of this
section. and who was on the ticket
for Vice President of the Populist
party in the last National election,
said in the presence of the post
master and others of this place
Yesterday that he expected to at
tend the st. Louis convention of
the 22nd instant, and would exert
his influence to get the standard
bearers of the Chicago convention
indorsed by the Populist Ma
tional convention, and was opposed
to his party making any nominal

the Democratic ticket, why shouldn't
all other advocates of silver fall in
line?

friends at his home:
Il believe the Populist and free sill
yer conventions will nominate Bryan
and Sewall. 1t is the moral duty of
the silver forces to make common
cause and unite in supporting the
Chicago nominee. 1t is the great OPP
portunity of the century to strike a

CHRISTMAS.

Tomorrow is Christmas. THE COMET
rejcioes with it's numerous readers and
friends that the glad day has arrived,
carrying with it all the pleasant
memories of the year just past which
are brought more wildly before the
mind by the festivities of the greatest
of American holidays.
THE COMET is willing to forego many
OF its pleasures and to make any sacri-
fee reasonable, that the little children
may be made happy. This day means
more to them than any other day in the
year, for on it nearly 1900 years ago
the Saviour of the world was born.
Many of the older ones have seen too
much of the cold realities of this world
to have the enthusiastic appreciation of
Christmas, but there are few too poor
to make the little ones happy.
