''If you wait until the cat jumps,

terday; you must punch the cat and

Speaking of the Conference a we'll
known Democrat said yesterday: Eve
haven't been in the habit of being de-
liyered as chattels we Democrats"
THE biggest political party in the
State now" said Mr.. F. c. Enniss, sis
the Confusion party. If you can get
all the confused elements of all the
parties together, you've got a MAORI
ty."
Mr. W. G. Monroe, prominent law
yer Of Goldsboro and the Democratic
representative from Wayne, said of
the Conference: Il think we had bet
ter go straight. / think Wayne coun-
ty is as straight as a single"
Secretary w. S. Barnes, of the State
Farmers Alliance was here yesterday
Speaking of the alleged Conference, he
said: There's nothing in it. If it
were accomplished, it would be all for
the Democrats and none for the Popu-
lists. It's all bosh."
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Smith
said: "A ticket agreeable to all sides
will be put up for endorsement by
Democrats and Populists, and all free
silver people. A silver convention will
be called to nominate the ticket"
Referring to the reported deal
State Auditor FuIman said ''Beliey-
ing the Democratic party to be the par
~ of the people, and. given a fair
chance, will lest serve the people,
prefer to stand by and work with and
for that organization, rather than go
to Mr.. Mott and Or. Butler to learn
what the Democratic party ought to or
may do.
Col r. NJ. Argo said of the reported
trade: IF they are going to organize
the silver party i'm North Carolina, the
Democrats who GO into it will have to
bolt the National Democratic PARTY.
This will result i'm the election OF the
Republican ticket in North Carolina.
They will ALLEVIATE all the Democrats
with gold-bug views, and the Repub-
Leans will carry the State.
Col ODDS reports Mr. Ed. Chambers
Smith Us saying: Most of the reports
sent out from Washington in regard
to the conference Of r. b. PEBBLES and
myself with Senator Butler and Or.
Mott are Incorrect Both PEBBLES and
myself believe some method ought 10
be adopted by which these people who
think alike can vote alike. Good gov
ernment at home and the success Of
free silver ought to please most people
i'm North Carolina We believe the peo-
pie generally viii not let sentiment
stand in the way of securing these re-
suits. But of course we speak as indi-
viduals. All the story about any one
man being pushed for any one office
is absurd. People must agree upon
principles first and name the man for
Office who most nearly embodies those
principles. Neither the name Of Wal
ter Clark nor any other man has been
considered so far MS / know"
