CAUCUS PROCEEDINGS.

The Republicans had a caucus last
night as usual II was love feast with
the love omitted. The main question dis
cussed was how to get hold " the .nsti-
tutions, and each man had his own way
OF securing them.
The discussion went along for two hours
and resulted in the appointment " a com
mfttee TO wait on His Exccllency and as

sake join in and appoint the men named
by the Rep. and boiling Pops This would

Messrs. Cook, Arlington and Freeman

Senate. This committee III expected to
90 into the ice thawing business at once
and have everything melted down so the
factions will run together in quick order.
The Governor is known to have an
aversion to striptao out the Regular Pops

BACK FROM THE GRAVE

We cannot come, but we can often stay
our progress thither. Disease, like every
thing else, must have a beginning. All
chronic maladies tend to shorten life, and
render it q species of martyrdom while
they last. Malaria, kidney complaint,
chronic indigestion, rheumatism-all have
small beginnings, and may be stayed at
the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. This excellent tonic and Alternative
is adapted alike to the prevention of dis
orders of the system and to their removal,
and it's early use cannot be too strongly
advocated. TO renew appetite and insure
tranquil rest, there is no surer and pleas
anter means than the Bitters. The effects
of overwork and exhaustion, mental or
physical, are counteracted by it, and the
busy merchant, the tired clerk or opera
tive, and the brain weary student, au-
thor or newspaper man, derive from it
present relief and future energy.

sENAroR CLARK WHITES A cARD

To the Editor As there has been such
a misunderstanding regarding my position
on the stock law bill for Halifax county,
l wish you would publish the following
statement: After the bill, allowing stock
to run at large in Halifax county from
the 25th Of December to the 18th of
March, had passed, substitute was in
troduced providing that said law should
not go into effect until 1899. Mr.. Me-
Crazy came to me and said if | would
agree to amend it so as not to go into
effect at once, number of his western
friends would support me. I then told
him to amend the substitute so as to go
into effect the 25th of December, 1897,
and if this amendment was defeated, to
kill the substitute

TUESDAY,
RRIBE-GIVING AND BRIBE
TAKING GANG.

The Republicans of both factions are
endeavoraing to shut up the talk about
bribery and corruption that attaches to
this Legislature. The fifty day reign of
buying and selling huckstering and traf-
fcing eliminated in disgraceful brawl
in the Senate chamber between the
private secretary to the Governor and
the Senatorial protege Of Senator Pritch-
ard Alexander represented the Gov
ernors crowd and Hyatt stood for the
Senators crowd.
1t is not for us to say which was wrong
in that particular instance. 1t is none
of our quarrel. Attention is directed to it
now, as to the flippant remark Of Lieut.
Gov. Reynolds, "How much is this
WORTH" as he voted with the railroads
in a tie vote in the Senate, to show the
low level to which we have sunk. Never
under Democratic rule was it suggested
that Senator was elected by bribery
and corruption, or that q Governors pri-
vate secretary was trying to bride a
State Senator. There was not even q
suggestion of such scandals when the
State was under the control Of those
who thought more of good government
than of spoiIs, jobs, offices, and deals.
Ii Private Secretary Alexander offered
bride to Senator Hyatt, the latter did
right to hit him and try to knock him
down. 1t is unfortunate for the State
that nj! the bribe-giyens and bribe-takers
who have dominated this Legislature
could not be visited with personal chas-
tisement, and given term in the State
penitentiary. There would be quite an
exodus from the capitol to Mr. Leazar's
department of public works, and there
are those higher up who would have
to be summoned to receive their share
of the punishment.
Let us be thankful that the days Of
the bribe-giying and bribe-taking are
numbered, and that beginning with next
Saturday their operations will be trans
ferred to the division of the Federal
spoils.

Broughton's real majority -.

DFUuSIhuOu Ttstl IlL1JOlllS 'ss.s.s ~
Not a single contention of Mr.. Brough-
toms, as set up in the above claim, was
disproved. Every single item was clear
ly tablished.
The only rebuttal made by Young was
the showing that three (3) persons voted
for Mr.. Broughton who in changing their
voting places did not take certificates;
that three persons voted for Mr.. Brough-
ton who were idiots; that the box of the
First Division of the Fourth Ward had
been tempered with after 1T was placed
in the custody of d. FL. Young, clerk
of the Superior court, who is Repubi
can; that the students at Wake Forest
College who voted were disqualified.
The first of his claims is purely techni-
cal and has been set aside by the recent
opinion of Judge Furches.
The second was clearly disproved, and
besides this, the men claimed to be idiots
we're accepted by the judges of election
WHO hueN butnl NSllf q aAtdJoA1eG VA Nh~AAA
being Populists and Republicans. The
third claim of Young is a stab at Re
publican officeIholder. But it is without
reason as shown by the evidence.
The fourth claim is positively over
come by the oath and examination of
the students themselves. This is also
set aside by Judge Furches's opinion.
TO retain james III. Young, the House
must fix guilt upon ID. III. Young, clerk
of the Superior court for tampering or
allowing somebody to tamper with the
ballot box of the First Division Fourth
Ward of Raleigh; and also perjury upon
the students who voted at Wake Forest
College.
To do this will be an outrage.
Not to seat Mr.. Broughton will be a
crime for which no excuse has been given
or can be given.
We shall see.

NORMAL GIRLS DELIGHTED.
They are Not Yet Through Thanking
the Legislature.


the Legislature
TO the Editor: All hail We legislators
of 81! We pause not to consider your
politics. Be We Democrats, Republicans
or PopuiSts-onc, all or a combination
Of parties-we would ring out your
praises over this wide nation. One act of
yours will cause your names TO be en-
blazoned upon the pages of history We
refer to your appropriation to the State
Normal and Industrial School" You
have raised North Carolina to "a higher
place in our nation. A few more years
and this most American of all the States
will no longer bear the odium Of being
among the most illiterate in the Union.
BY enabling ambitious women to pro
gress, by giving them a sum equal to that
conferred upon your sons you have in
sured rapid strides in the progress of the
whole State. In the name of the women
of North Carolina, we thank you True
You have only done justice. But our
General Assemblies for one hundred
years have failed to listen to the voice Of
justice. We appreciate your ability to I'M
derstand her plea Our confidence in the
power of this movement to bring about
grand and mighty reform cannot be ex-
Ring out the DID, ring in the new,
Ring out the false, ring in the true,
Ring out the darkness Of the land"
Let me say again, the women appreciate
your action. If you could have seen the
Normal girls" when the news from the
capitol, telegraphed by DIR. McIver. was
announced to the assembled school, by the
girl who acted as Speaker of the
House" in the Normal Legislature"
you would have been satisfied. We would
have had you listen to that Normal
bell' as it rang and rang, hear those
cheers and hurrahs, see those happy
faces and witness that undated en-
thusiasm rs the girls talked of the appro-
priation and of tar barrels and torch
hight professions in honor of the event
They are still celebrating and the event
will be talked Of through many "A year.
If You doubt that the women understand
the question Of education or think them
Indifferent to the subject ask the mem
bers of your committee Of the impression
received at the school, or with patience
read the rest of this article. We give
below, as supplementary to the meager
notice heretofore published, an account
Of the Normal Legislature proceedings"
and would have you note the almost
prophetic character of the whole. The
plan of the Legislature was conceived
and carried out by the girls, who only
appealed to the faculty for general APP
prevail and for confederation of statistics.

The case of Mr. n. Il. Broughton con-
testing for a seat in the General Assem-
bly, to which he was legally elected is set
for II O'Clock to-day.
We shall see when the vote is taken
whether or not those who have made
great clamor about a free ballot and a
fair COUNT" mean anything.
Mr.. Broughton has established beyond
any successful dispute that he was fairly
and legally elected The vote of Wake
county was increased about 1900 over
the vote of two years ago. At the cleo
ton in 1894 james II. Young was elect
ed by $50 majority. Notwithstanding the
large increase in the vote of 1896, and
that it was to the great advantage
of the Republicans, Mr.. Broughton over
came it all.
The fact is, the majority of the Popu-
lists in Wake county voted for Mr..
Broughton.
When the evidence which the commit
tee on Privileges and Elections is examin-
ed, 1t will be found that the result is as
follows:

A GOOD BILL-IT SHOULD PASS


More than month ago the House,
nobody voting against it except Jim
Young, passed bill to prevent one rail
road acquiring another if it would thereby
lessen competition. 1t was am exact copy
of the law in Georgia, South Carolina
and Tennessee. During the investigation
on the 99-year lease, Judge Burwell de-
voted several minutes to a discussion of
that measure, commencing it warmly
and unreseryedly. General Henderson,
chief counsel of the Southern Railway,
and the other attorneys of that railroad,
praised the bill warmly, and said it ought
10 pass.
That was two weeks ago.
Now every agency the Southern Rail
way can employ is fighting this bill and
seeking to defeat it in the Senate. 1t has
been referred to the several COMMITTEES,
postponed time and again, and now here
Just at the close Of the session a vigorous
fight is being made to kill it.
Why?
Is any railroad seeking to cut off COM
petition?
Because the Senate in several instan-
ces have voted down bills that the Sout-
hern Railway wanted killed, does it ex-
pect also to kill this measure which two
weeks ago its attorneys were advocating
so earnestly?

The Senate cut down the lease from 80
to 80 years. This was good, as far as it
went. Now the House, if it is truer to
the people than to the railroad, can secure
rental Of 100000 instead of the $780,
900 the Southern now expects to pay. 1t
is a great dead easier to secure the in
creased rental than it was to reduce the

the Legislature to be as true to the people
as the Southern Railway lobby is true to
