ArtiChokes For Hogs.

artichokes for my stock. My first crop

GUTHRIE TO SUCCEED RUSSELL,
& Trade Between Republican and Pop

ton correspondent sends the follow
ing to that paper in regard to a Re
pubican-Populist deal alleged to have
been fixed up last week, by which
Russell is to retire in Guthrie's favor
in accordance with the programme
mapped out in the News and Observer
several days ago:
without revealing any confidence
| am able specifically to confirm, with
important additions, information re-
Gently received. Butler and the other
Populists nave arranged a programme
with the Republicans, or a part Of
them, about as follows: Guthrie to
take RuSSell's place. IS head Of the
Joint ticket; vacancies in the Repub-
lican State ticket to be filled to suit
the Populists, and possibly other
changes to be made. the Republicans
to support the Teller electoral ticket
to be nominated by the Silver party
ut st. Louis. One OF the Mckinley
delegates, at least, from North Caro-
lima will walk out of the convention.
1t is said by a man who says he knows
the programme, that nearly all the Re
publicans are expected to vote this
mongrel concern, thus abdicating Re-
publicanism but entertaining lively
hopes of spoils to come when Teller is
President. The latter event is expected
either by a landslide this fall or co.
ercion of Democrats into voting for
Teller in the present Congress If the
election goes into the House of Repre-
sentatives through failure of the peo-
pie to elect in November.

served card of the foxy Sampsonian,

Democrats. He would rather associate
with Democrats than with Republic
cans but is bound to accept Repubi-
can championship, if Democratic COM
panionship is spurned. Seeing what
the Democrats are going to do ar Raj
eigh and Chicago, he turns to his
former allies. They, fearing like But
