Now that it is becoming apparent
that there IS a rea. movement on
foot to make Secretary Carlisle
the democratic candidate for
President, the Silver democrats in
Congress from the South are max
lug their opposition to him known.
They do not hesitate 70 say that
they will not support him, and II
they represent the sentiments OF
their constituents, as they claim to
do, it is difficult to uu derstand
where Mr.. Carlisle cLn get the
support necessary to nominate
him. The gold democrats of the
East nave never fully trusted Mr..
Carlisle, but would probably be
willing to support his candidacy
if he could show them that he had
the Southern democrats behind
hun.
The House committee on Terri
tories has taken no further action
upon the bills tor the admission OF

This week the squadron will go to

Secretary will 90 along as a guest

The political situation ia North
Carolina Is attracting much at
teatiOn in Congress since the dis
agreement between Senator Butler,
the pOpulist, and Senator Prch
ard, the republican, both OF whom
we're elected by the fusion legls-
lature of that state, became known.
Senator BJ.ler believes that the
populists eau carry the state this
year without any help from the re-
pubiicans, and is opposed to max
log any cOnSesslOus for republican
votes, while Senator PrIchard puts
70 ward the same claim tor the re-
publicaDs, but is willing to make a
fusion electoral ticket for the state.
Needless to say that the democrats
are much pleased at this disagree
ment, as they believe they can re-
capture the state If the republicans
aud populists run separate tickets.
There is a disposition IN some
quarters TO poke fln at the talk OF
