FUSION Is NOW ASSURED
SO SAYS A WELL-lNFORMED WIN.
STON REPUBLICAN,.
Chairman HoIton Advises His Faithful
- Followers to Stop Talking
So Much.

Winston, n c., March 13.-(Special)
IA prominent and well informed Re-
publican was asked yesterday what he
thought of Ohio Wilson's purported
views to the effect that fusion between
the Popuists and Republicans on the
National ticket is an impossibility;
also that the populists would demand
the nominee for Governor. The reply
TO the query ran this way: II told the
Republican members of the last Legis-
Iature that it would be dangerous for
them to give Marion Butler the long
term Senatorship; / knew what it
meant, and advised my people that if
they would only give him the short
term, Butler would be anxious to fall
in line this year for fusion anyway the
Republicans said. They failed to heed
my advice. However, Butler cannot
control his people, and fusion on the
State and county tickets is almost as
sured The fact is the PopuIists can
do nothing without the aid of the Re
publicans, and / doubt very much
whether my party could carry the State
alone"
This Republican was free to express
the opinion that the Republicans would
name the candidate for Governor, no
matter what the third party people say
or do, and that the ticket will be "cut
and dried before the State conventions
are held"
1T is learned from good authority
that Chairman Holton has sent out a
mote of warming" to a few of his ever
faithful" members of the committee.

and thankfulness for this grand invig-
orator. People enjoying perfect health
sometimes wonder at this gratitude:
but whoever has suffered from prostra-
ton of the nerves, of which insomnia
y one OF the symptoms, will understand
how hard it is to overstate the torment
Of this condition. And whoever has
been made completely well by Paine's
Celery Compound feels that no words
can overstate the JOY and gratitude
such persons feel.
This is the state of mind of thous-
ands of nervous, sickly, broken-down
persons who have used Paine's Celery
Compound and been made well.
Mrs. Sample tells of the happy re-
suit in the case of her grandchild. One
of the most conspicuous of the remark
able powers of Paine's celery compound
over debility is shown in the relief it
has afforded children. OF course the
dose is adapted to the age of the little
patient. The compound purifes the
blood and corrects any tendency to
constipation. Pale, puny children are
