Der Both.
ssThis meeting" said the chairman,
Mr.. Clement Manly, of Winston, before
leaving for his home yesterday, lis
called at the request of several men,
bers in various parts of the State"
"And for what purpose do they want
1t called?" / asked.
although it is too early to publicly
announce a policy for the coming year
or a plan for the fight of 1885, replied
the chairman, sit is not too early to
begin to adopt active measures of or
ganization; and no doubt important
work will be done in aid Of county or
ganization.
81 cannot foretell the action Of the
committee. nor DO wish TO roreren Its
probable policy by public announce
ments.
"The committee is composed of as
FOOD men as are in the party, and viii
be wise. looking entirely to the advance
ment of the Democratic party.
"Do you think there will be fusion OF
Populists and Republicans again.?
sWhether all the vices, or all the VIZ
lures of the. Republican and Popullst
parties met in the fusion Of these parties
In 1896, l cannot say. The truth Is,
the conduct Of those whom the boiling
Of the pot has brought on top is vicious
enough with their hypocritical cant and
assumption of virtues of which they do
not even know the meaning. All who
love the State, its good name and
prosperity, find their hope in the Dem
ecratic party.
ssWhat is the outlook for the Demo
cratic party now as you see it r
"Our ranks are strengthening daily,
and we will certainly win in 1898, If we
keep our heads and act with the har-
mony and concord Of men who have
great purpose. and feel its importance
to the common welfare"
