however, it appears that those ducks
are pretty lame affairs any way, for
it is said that arrangements have
already been made to shut Mark out
in the event of Sherman's resigna-
ton. The plan seems to be to ap-
point the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
Ohio as Sherman's successor, should
there be occasion to appoint any one.
1t is not relished in some quarters
that Hanna is figuring for himself
high political preferment as part of
the dividends. of his investment in
Mckinley. This idea is limited at in
the following extracts from a Colum
bus, Ohio, dispatch, of the oath
instant:
"Hanna as the manager of Mai.
McKinley's candidacy and Hanna as
a Senatorial aspirant are two wholly
different persons. Hanna's magnifi
cent management of the Mckinley
campaign won him the admiration
of all factions of the party in Ohio.
They had been given to understand
that Hanna had no personal ambl-
ton himself; that his paramount aim
In life was to make Mckinley Presi
dent, and having accomplished this
he would at once return 80 his bust
ness. Therefore in changing his
mind aud asking the highest office
within the gilt of the State he has
encountered very widespread opposi-
ton.
Even the anti Foraker people are
asking the basis of Hanna's claims
to seat in the United States Senate.
Some of them are admitting that
Hanna himself was really a handicap
to the ticket in this State on account
of the distrust in which he is held by
the labor people. They hold that
without Hanna Maj. Nj, kinley's
majority would have been increased
Nevertheless, they credit Hanna with
superb management in the country
at large
So, 1t looks now very much as il
Marcus Aurelius, with all of his get
there prestige, will not secure tie
coveted prefix of Senator, at least
not in the near future. The Cabine t.,
however, lacks much of completion
and Ross Hanna can have almost
"any old thing" that is at Mckln-
Iey's disposal, and the failure to
obtain the Senatorship will not
mean the passing of Hanna. In one
way or another he will be very much
in evidence during the next four
years, after which we may expect
him and oil his crowd to be relegated
to the rear by yexed and indignant
people.

Rubs Ir Into Butler.

Raleigh Tribune, Republican.
This man. who yesterday was 40
powerful in North Carolina that his
word with his plastic followers was
absolute law, now finds himself so
poor, as there are none to do him
reverence His weak and fawning
sycophants, like Wilson, Aver,
Shutord, Lloyd and Peele. are
already dropping away from him like
autumnal forest leaves. He will
occupy>a seat in the Senate, the seat
which he occupies by the grace of
God and the plumbers of the Repub-
iican party, till the expiration of his
term. From henceforth he is a
political Ishmaelite. He will be
pointed out as Butler, the traitor;
Butler, the migrate; Butler, the faith
less, scorned and despised by brave
and true Democrats OF the State
He is the object of the pity and con-
tempt of his former allies, the Repub
licans of North Carolina. For
months he has been an object of
suspicion of cold and studied neglect
upon the part of his distinguished
colleagues in the Senate A creature
of political accident, he rose rapidly
to high estate. His d. scent has been
AS rapid. So may it always be with
traitors and false and faithless men
Butler and Butlerism are dead in
North Carolina.

EDITOR and Auditor Ayers ire is
aroused against the new Republican
daily, the Tribune. He is quoted as
using the following plain language: :
81 don't think the Republican party
has shown any judgment in allowing
two tramps to come into our State
and pass judgement on our people.
There are some people who will have
nothing to do with the gang which
countenances such things" Never
theless, enough of Ayers folks had
enough to do with such a gang to
elect Pritchard to the Senate and it
may be that enough of them will SO
vote as to turn the State printing
over to Ayers "two tramps." Fun.
ny things are happening and have
happened and among the latter were
some of Halls antics during the cam
paign. He might find an interesting
diversion in analy zing the quota

GRATUITOUS FILINGS.

1t occurs to US that the filings that
are being made at the Democrats in
the Legislature because they failed
to support the Populist nominee for
Senator-charging or insinuating
that the Democrats went back upon
their agreement-are altogether gra-
tuitous and without solid founda-
ton. AS we understand the matter,
the Democratic caucus, early in the
session, made a proposition to the
Populists looking to union of forces
for the election of an answering ad-
vocate of free silver to the Senate
and that this proposition was not
acted upon, or was not accepted, by
the Populists, and hence the Demo
Gratis were left free to vote for one of
their own number, which they did,
by giving a complimentary vote to
that popular and deserving son of
North Carolina, Hon. r. A. Dough
ton. In this we fail to observe any
violation of agreement.

THE SENATORSHIP.

IL Is an OLD ana true saying CHaU
"there's many slip twixt the cup
and the lip" but as we write this
morning it does not appear proba BILE
that Pritchard will be called upon to
| feel the force Of the remark in the
Senatorial contest.
1t is more than likely that before
the readers eye falls upon these
pages the edict will have been pre-
! nounced that Jeter Pritchard is the
Senator elect from North Carolina
for term of six years from the 4th
of March next.
With this edict will go forth to the
world the apparently strange fact
that the iron hand of Mark Hanna
and his lotteries have conquered in g
contest in which, upon the old time
plan of reasoning from honesty and
principle, it was to be supposed that
majority of the arrayed forces were
antagonistic to those that it now
appears will bear off the palm of
victory.
To explain such a seeming para
dox is difficult upon any other
ground than that the power of the
almighty dollar has asserted it's
sway and that some have sold their
birthright for mss of pottage.
If the result shall be as now seems
probable, it will show treachery and
trading in the ranks of the men
honored with a sacred trust by the
Populists; it will show that 'get
there" and not adherence to princi-
pie is the actuating policy of the Re-
publicans, as demonstrated by their
support of a man who played upon a
golden harp through the campaign
and then swapped his instrument tor
juggling silver bells; it will show that
the Democratic party is the only
party in the Legislature that re-
manned true to the principles which
it advocated before the people and
that it is around this banner, and
this banner alone, that the suffering
masses NAV rally with a hope of
securing needed relief.
So that, alter all, the result, not
withstanding the crookedness which
made it possible, may rebound
eventually to the welfare of the State
and of the cause OF free coinage even
beyond the State. We have been in
clined to this opinion for some time,
but we could not advocate such
policy because we do not subscribe
to the doctrine that it is proper to
do evil in order that's good may come.
On the other hand we just as firmly
believe that untoward circumstances
may be overrulrd SO IA to recoil
upon those responsible for them and
to work out to the benefit of those
upon whom the wrong was perpetra-
ted. So this evil may be in reference
to the interests of the people.

Responsibility for Failure is Upon
Republican ShCuld.rs
Atlanta Constitution
The election of Senator Pritchar1
to succeed himself by the legislature
Of North Carolina secures to the
Republicans the control of the United
States senate.
The result is not an unmitigated
evil under the circumstances. The
contest last November WAS between
the cardinal principles Of Democracy
and Republication By peculiar
alliances and manipulated ballot
boxes the Republicans were success =
full, and have the presidency and the
house of representatives. They have
promised to the people such an era
of prosperity as would completely
wipe out all memory of the four years
just closing They would only have
been too glad to charge their failure
to make good their promises upon
Democratic distractions either 10
the house or in the senate. DINO
cratic ascendency in either branch
would have carried with it a thank
less responsibility.
As it is Mr.. Mckinley has his hands
full. He had the house, and now be
has the senate. There is nothing to
prevent him from starting out the
band wagon on the 4th of March and
showing the people that he intended
to do what he promised There is no
need of waiting until next December
throwing away another crop year
and leaving another business year in
doubt.
The Issue is made up-the RESPONSE
bility is upon Republican shoulders
All patriots wish success for the
government, and all sensible men
want prosperity-and, all together
they want the Republican leaders to
fulfill their promises at once, OIL
give way to those who will.

In the face of this, we find that Mr.
Reynolds reversed the action of his
party caucus, by yielding to the
clamors of those who regarded place
above integrity. The courtesy ex-
tended the retiring Lieut.. Gov. by

been inyiofately maintained by

from might-the same kind of right
which gives the power to fire upon

Every time the question of the

becomes more evident that the pro-
tective system is a species of social
ism and, therefore, contrary to the
spirit and intent of Republican in

tariff so high that those whom it
favored did not clamor for still more
protection; we have never had a
tariff which protected all the inter
ests that demanded the aid of the

Election by the People.

Raleigh News and Observer.
What has just happened in this
State is an object lesson, of unmis-
taxable import, in favor of the pro.
posed reform in favor of the election
of United States Senators by the
people. Had that been the mode of
election last Der, the real SEN
timents of the people OF this State
would have been expressed by the
election of silver Senator by the
same majority by which Mr. Bryan
carried the State, and we should
have been spared the ignoble specta-
Gle of the election of so-caled
representative of this State in the
Senate by promises OF money and
offices to members of the Legislature
to betray their constituents. The
pressure OF immense corporations is
too heavy when brought to bear
upon the least trust worthy members
OF Legislature, and they can almost
always determine the result.
