~. and If he misses the Senate he will
dig gold there and get rich. He prefers
the Senate because the salary is PAID
monthly. and there is no outlay for MN

says the new aspirant.
Mr.. ]. Sol Reid, representative from
MeckIenburg, who has been sick several
days, has gone home. He is an excellent
representative, having previously served
both in the House and the Senate.
The Danylle Register says
'sThe late DR. Haywood, OF Raleigh,
made VOW in the days Of Republican
misrule that he would never walk
through the Capital square as long az
that reconstruction band OF Treasury
hooters held possession, and he kept his
VOW. Wonder what the game and pa
triotic old physician would think of the
much mixed band OF blood suckers that is
now holding high carnival in the North
Carolina Capitol"
There cannot be the shade of a shad-
ow of a doubt" that the so per cent of
the white people of North Carolina are
for genuine and honest bimetallism, and
sooner or later, they will grind to powder
all who attempt to thwart their will along
that line We hope that the present
struggle at Raleigh will result in the
triumph of a genuine friend of the white
metal, to the vacancy in the United
States Senate, caused by the death Of
the lamented Vance. Mr.. Skinner and
his crowd of boilers may, under the pc
culiar circumstances, be able to elect
Senator Pritchard. the rotater on the
financial question, but in doing so, they
drive the last nail in the coffin of the
Populist party in the State and insures
an easy Democratic victory two years
from now.-Webster's Weekly.
Representative Jas. A. Leak has re-
signed the presidency of the Wadesboro
National Bank and has been succeeded
by his brother, Mr.. John ID. Leak.

The announcement OF Senator Pritch-
ard as printed in The Citizen yesterday,
that he (Which Of course meant the Re
pubFcans) intended to cooperate with
the boiling populists because they pro-
posed to cooperate with him, may mean
much fun, before the legislature adourns.
1t seems that there are only about Is
| Populists who will vote for Pritchard,
caucus or no caucus, and while this may
he enough to elect him it will be diff
ficult thing to hold them IN line for all
legislation that may be mapped out, I'M
less they be allowed to write it. And If
Is men are to control the legislature, and
those 10 are men that have not sufficient
political honor to stand by the party to
which they claim allegiance, the out
come is certainly anything but promis-
ing. One thing can be relied upon with
certainty, and that is that il this pro-
gram is undertaken the close OF the pres
emit session Of the legislature will find the
Populist party irretrievably split, with
the big end of it against the Republicans.
-Asheville Citizen.
There is one thing in connection with
the political control in North Carolina
that may not have struck every one, but
is nevertheless plainly visible. The Re
publicans believe that they have come
into possession in this State to stay.
Their confidence is childfike and simple
that it is almost cruel to disturb it. But
the truth must be told, no matter how
much it may hurt, and we want to say
to these political simpletons that their
tenure will be short. No party, majority
of which is composed of negroes, can
long control North Carolina. --Ashevilie
Citizen.
