RussELL's RETURNING BOARD.

The proceedings of the Republican
committee yesterday may not be III
accordance with our ideas of the
eternal fitness of things, but it is all
perfectly consistent with the Rob Roy
rule that has always prevailed with
Republican management in this State.
Russell, the immaculate, whose
eminently pure record marked him
out as the man to overlook the eX-
p,lnoino of the Infamous Democratic
election law from the statute books,
and to substitute in place of it one
that would make fraud an impos-
sihiHty,'' is seeking the support of the
Populists on the ground that he has
done his work in a mastery manner
Behold the beauties of consistency!
Russell has bare majority of the Re
publican Executive committee. lie
sees that the man and brother" Is
rising UP for Dockery in the East, and
ontyotinp him at all the primaries. In
this dire emergency he calls on Grant,
who helped him to have the Demo-
Gratis counted out at Charleston in
1865. Grant is always equal to the
emergency, if you will give him power,
because he is not scrupulous as to
the manner of using it. With the
help of his right bower, Jim Young.
he carried through the committee,
over the protest of Holton and other
more conservative members, a revolu-
tionary resolution requiring the Exc
cutiye Committee to meet on the 18th
of Nav. and decide all contests for
seats in the convention before it meets
on the 14th. Grant don't know
whether Russell will have a majority
of the convention, but he does know
he can rely upon majority OF the
committee. To unseat enough Dock
ery men to give Russell a majority, or
to change the complexion of the con-
vention, is an easy matter. The plan
already outlined by Grant is to CON
test the right of the Dockery delegates
elected from Nash county, and from
all other Eastern counties, and to adj
NIT these Russell contestants to seats
in the convention so that they can
vote on their own cases.
The Russell Returning Board will
remind older people of the days of
Latin and Deweese when counties
were colonized and negro voters were
bought like sheep at the shambles.

| TRUMPET CALL TO DUTY.

The resolutions adopted by the Sill
YER convention in Burke county have
the right ring. They voice the senti-
ment OF the Masses of the people, not
only in Burke county, but likewise in
every county in the South and West
and many of those in the North. They
express the conviction of the toilers
everywhere who have seen depression,
reduced wages, and idleness follow in
the departure from bimetallism and
the adoption of gold standard. There
are three points in these ringing and
aggressive resolutions which need to
be iterated and reiterated:
1. The silver men are seeking no
novel legislation, no financial expert
Inent, no new policy. They are merely
DESTROYS of restoring that financial
policy that prevailed until, for selfish
purposes, silver was secretly and
coyert1y demonetized.
2. The silver men take no stock in
the protection idea of coming only the
silver that is the product of American
mines. This question is deeper and
honester than that. In 1890, free coin
age was defeated by a combination OF
the gold men and the mine-owners, and
the dishonest Sherman law put on the
statute books in order to defeat free
coinage.
g. In one year, the attempt to fix the
gold standard has cost $263,000,000 OF
interest-bearing bonds which has
placed additional mortgages, on the
farms and new burdens upon labor.
The Burke resolutions sound like a
trumpetcall to duty to all who are
minded to withstand the men who are
narrowing the basis and contracting
the volume of the money of the coun-
| try.
