the National Populig; Convention at ST.
| Louis. He publishes five Populist pa
pers. He says 1t scema 10 him there will
be three State tickets in the field in
North Carolina. Like all the other Popu-
list delegate: he is for Teller. All OF
them unite in swearing that the Demo
Gratis must nominate or endorse Teller
to get the solid silver vote. Ex-Con-
gresham Buck" Kitchen of the Popu-
| list State Committee. WAS very frank
when he declared that the Populis,s and
| free silver men generally could not in his
| opinion consistently decline to endorse
any man nominated on a silver platform
nj Chicago who is satisfactory to che
| Western boilers, and is endorsed by
| Teller and his followers. Kitchen was
| equally frank when he declared the
| Nor:h Carolina Popullsts would fuse
| with which ever side they could make
| the best terms.
| Your correspondent asked Senator
| Butler this question: SIS -. l.. Russell to
| be taken down or come down from the
head of the Republican State ticket. He
replied. without going into this uues-
| ton a all. one thing j. ccr.air-tha.; is
I the majority of the voters of this State
will never endorse the ticket nominal ed
/ June 18th by the Democrats. The fact
| is the majority of the people are for a
| non-partisan judiciary and any panty
| which endeaVors to pack the Supreme
| Cour. they Will not endorse. They are
not going TO give three men of one party
| a chance to cOnStrue the law Secondly.
not only every man outside the Demo-
cratic panty. but at least half of those
afiiliating with il believe in honest cleo
tons and will never suppor. any ticket
| which VIII make IL pos ible for scenes
and conditions such as we have had on
election day to !eturn, provided they are
sure they cannot vote :: ticket which
will make the conditions worse. AS TO
the electoral tickets. 1t makes little diff
terence. Tor II there We're four i'm the
state, three for silver and one for gold.
the latter could no; get a plurality. II
the Republicans want 10 run a gold tick
ct | don't care. prefer that they
should do so, and tina; the geld Demo-
Gratis should fuse with them. so we can
see how many of the latter there are"
Senator Butler never did say. nor
| would he say. whether Russell and the
| Republican electoral ticket would come
down. In fact there is thanking" all
| along the line as TO this matter.
The Populist State Central Committee
| adopted the following resolution:
| Resolved, That we cordially and ear
| nestly extend fraternal invitation TO
| the advocates of free coinage Of silver
! who are now selecting delegates to rep
| resent this State at the National Silver
Convention, TO be- held in St. Louis. on
July ed, TO hold their State Conven-
| ton In the city of Raleigh. August 18Th.
| the day designated for the meeting of
the Peoples Party State Convention.
and we invite. in good faith, all other
| citiZen=. who hold that the achievement
