certed if fusion is declined.

MR.. DUNN's VIEWS on THE sITUA
TI0N.

W. q. Dunn, Of Scotland Neck, mem
Der of the Democratic State Exeeu-
tive committee. writes to Nj.
Ed. Chambers Smith: IF there il
any straddle by our party on the silver
question, in either State or national
convention, it would be the supremest
folly to make "a campaign in this
State. Our people by us have been
taught that free coinage is right, and
they believe it. It is needless for the
gold-bug organs to say now that it is
Populistic to advocate free coinage.
The Democratic party in North Caro-
lima, by its press, and by those placed
an high positions, is responsible for
the faith of the people on this subject.
There can be no hair-splitting or dodg-
ing"
