Nt,MBER OF POPuLfST VOTES.

Raleigh n. c.. Jan. 5-Indicatons this afternoon
point strongly Senator Pritchard's controlling
The Pcppltss caucus. Representative Skinner ex-
poets this result. Mr.. Pritchard needed only four
teen Popuist votes. He has twenty-five already

line The Republicans openly say that Butler cam
not control the entire Popust caucus, and that
minority is for Pritchard.

The Law Breakers at Urbana.

The Law Breakers at Urbana.
The hanging of Click Mitchell
was the work of a cowardly set of
brutes, who so cruelty beat and
and trampled upon him. 1t was a
disgrace upon civilization, and
those that engaged in it are culprits
and justice should be dealt out to
them to the full. extent of the law.
There was no excuse for lynching in
this case, and the soldiers did their
duty when they fired on and drove
back the mob, and had they contin-
ued to fire law and order would have
been sustained and faithful officer
would have been protected in the
discharge of his duty, and those
that were there leading on that
mob are not one whit better than
Mitchell. They all were violating
the law of God and map, and had
they been at home would have Jared
better. No person that believes in
law and order will never be heard
trying to legalize the acts OF mob.
Had VIM. Mckinley been Governor
of Ohio, he would have protected
the lite of Mitchell.

An evening meeting, to be address
ed by Republican leaders in nation
al affairs, will be an event worthy of
the occasion. ..-........
This Convention will be the tenth
anniversary of the formation of the
National Republican League, and it
will be fttlngly celebrated in honor
of the ex Presidents of the League,
all of whom will be in attendance.
We cannot overestimate the i'm
portance of this Convention to the
Republican party. Our victory CT
last year does not guarantee per-
manency of power. We must keep
our organization we'll equipped for
the contest Of '9S, when we will
again vote for members of Congress-.
In many of our State elections this
year, the terms of members of the
United States Senate are at stake,
and as our majority in that body can
hardly be seen by the close observer,
it behooves us to fortify ourselves
against the enemy. se-"s .......
Let us come together in large
numbers at Detroit for the purpose
Of reviving and enlarging our politi-
cal enthusiasm SO that we may re
turn to our homes better qualified
to defend REPUBLICAN principles and
J hf. better able to carry put the r.. rs.s$S:' 4:

The Bystander was mistaken who n
it said that DR.. +. H. Lawther was
the first negro to receive the appoint
ment as company physician for the
keb mines. We knew that DR.. r. S.

at Colon for number of years.

of DR.. Lawther but did not intend
to detract from the high standing
of DIR. Brown as physician.
