The Probability of afSilver Can
didate Helps.
NEGRO ROWS DISGUSTING
The Better Glass of Popullsts
Nauseated.
PEACE IN THE PARTY NECESSARY
our Nominees Will be Silver Men
Whose Democracy is Untarnished
and Whose Record is
Clean.

Mr.. James III. Pou, chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee. returned to his home in Smith
field yesterday, and before taking the
train gave out an interview upon the
political situation.
Chairman Pou says the condition Of
the party is better than in many
months. Some Democrats and some
Populists have believed honorable CO.
operation desirable this year. The
mere discussion of such a possibility
weakened our party discipline and
dampened the spirits and hopes Of our
people. This idea of cooperation is
now abandoned and this is distinct
evidence of Democratic improvement.
The cause which has had the great
est effect in improving the Democratic
outlook is the vision of the old Repub-
liean party rising again and confront
ing the white people of North Caro-
lima; Russell, Dockery and others APP
pealing to the worst passions of 100000
negroes and asking them to give them
Office. The issue is whether these peo-
pie shall rule the State or whether
white government shall continue.
Another factor in the improvement
is the strong probability that silver adj
vocates will control the National Con-
vention and that the candidates and
the platform viii be thoroughly accep-
table to the great majority of the white
people of the State. Another factor is
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-05-02

the action of the State Committee id
pursuing the even tenor of it's way and
calling a convention at the usual time
and in the usual manner, which served
as a notice that the Democratic party
had chosen to live rather than to die
and that it would risk defeat rather
than sacrifice one principle or compro-
mise with any adversary. The party
has faith in the Democracy of its com
mittee.
If the skies brighten and our vision
becomes clearer by June 25th, there is
every reason to believe our convention
will nominate a full State Tickle t..
Long campaigns have heretofore al
ways been successful for us and there
is no reason why this year should prove
an exception. The more thorough our
canvass the more votes we can get.
How can the great mass of the Popu-
lists agree to fusion with the Republi
cans and thus assist in electing Nc
Kinley, whose nomination is almost
contain, a gold bug, president and turn
ing over the State to Russell or Dock
cry and the crowds which are backing
them. The North Carolina Democrats
will preserve their party organization
and remain part OF the National or
ganization.
There is no sort of doubt about the
adoption of a free silver platform
June 25th. Our nominees will be sill
yer men whose Democracy is unfair
nished. We viii call upon all men who
believe in the free coinage of silver,
revenue tariff, an income tax and an
sa.eennest State government, administer
ed by white men, to rally TO the Demo
cratic standard To this call 1t seems
many Populists will respond and they
will be welcomed into full fellowship
in the Democratic party. The number
and the character of those who will
return IL this course be followed will
greatly surprise those who are not inn
formed as to present conditions.
The inminence of misrule in the
Eastern counties is exercising q con-
sentative influence over all classes of
white people. The counties are, in the
Democratic party, a law unto them
selves and in the matter of fusion the
Democrats of the counties will act
wisely in all things, and nothing they
do win be criticised by the State or
panization. There il not much princi-
ME involved in the election of a treas
urer and register of deeds and i'm a
county where otherwise these Offices
might be filed by corrupt Republicans,
it might be better TO have them filed
by Democrats and Populists.
No true Democrat should any more
think of boiling the conventions than a
husband should think Of drawing the
wife of his bosom and the mere hint
of it increases the danger of doing it,
The State organization cannot main
tain itself save as part OF some great
National organization Should the
State organization cease to support the
National Democratic ticket it would
either disband or become part Of the
other National parties
The first duty OF the Democrats nov
Is 10 secure peace within the party. Lei
aH Democrats practice self-denial ano
let nothing be done to promote per
sonai ambition 20 the slightest detri
ment OF party welfare. Let there bs
no more impngning Of motives, but lei

 Messrs. Gates '& Brown, wholesale gro cers. also made an assignment this aft ernoon to H. c. Boudar, trustee. Their lia bilities are placed at $63,000 and the assets, it is thought, will pay 50 cents on the dollar. E. w. Gates and wife also assigned to H., c. Boudar for s13,000 Charles L. Brown and wife also assigned to H. A. McCurdy for 5000. The cause of this failure was the assignment of R. l.. Brown. The iattefsit is thought, will pay out. His assignment does not affect the firm Of Brown, Davis & Atkins, which continues as Davis & Atkins.
