well known. As chairman of the
Peoples party national committee
Butler never was for Tom Watson
in his heart. In the senatorial cleo
llon in North Carolina, into which
Butler had cast his political fortune,
Harry Skinner threw him overheard,
doing the work which brought VIC
tory to Pritchard. OF course, if the
new com bination keeps up, it means
Skinner to succeed Butler later on,
and in years to come the little
whiskered statesman will remember
the famous words of his Georgia
rival: where am l at p
''It is but fair to say, however,
that this last fight was against great
odds. The incoming national ad-
ministration was anxious to secure
control of the United States senate.
But few votes were needed,
and there was a way to get them,
known exclusively to those who
have the distribution of patronage
The money bags of the United
States, the foreign consulships, the
domestic Offices were all too much
for even SO skillful PLAYER as
Marion Butler. If the public will
quietly watch the pay roll as it will
be made up after the 4th of March
next, it will get pretty good list

REJOICE AT PRIrCHARD's ELECTION.

REJOICE AT PRITCHARD'S ELECTION.
There are gay and festive times in
the political arena in North Caro-
lima.
Only last week the negro Senator
Person, Of Edgecombe, shook his
finger at the Populists told them if
they didn't vote for Pritchard they
would never be reelected to the
Senate.
Now another colored man has his
say. The pastor of Clinton Chapel,
this city, in card to the Observer
writes:
81 rejoice to know that Hon. ]. G..
Pritchard has succeeded in the great
fight that Butler and his gang have
made against his reelection to the
United States Senate. 1t is fact
that the people of North Carolina
will hail with great delight and
pleasure. l want to see Marion
Buffers political head smashed
when his time is up in the United
States Senate. There seems to be
nothing under the sun too mean for
him to do. He has always been an
enemy to the negro; and | believe
would bring Tillmanism in North
Carolina no sooner than he got a
chance. | want to see him defeated,
when his time is out, and the only
way to do it is to effect fusion with
the Republicans and Democrats.
81 had much rather see a good,
honest Democrat in the United
States Senate than to see man of
Buffers type there. He seems to
want tie world with a silver fence
around it, and he the little god to
do the ordering of things. l speak
the sentiment of the 10000 negro
voters in North Carolina when | say
crush his head when his time is out.
Pritchard knows how to manage a
campaign of any sort and will take
care of himself in any assembly and
the cause he represents. Three
cheers for his reelection, and all
honor to the loyal Republicans and
Populists who stood by him."
What do Populists think of these
opinions?

New Sect Teaches Free Love.

A blot upon the good name of
North Carolina is the existence in
and about Albemarle Sound of a
hand of men and women, who call
themselves "Lynchites,' and who,
under the guise of religion, are prac-
ticing free-loveism and other things
contrary to the laws of the State and
of God. They profess to be sinless.
Their doctrines will allow hns
band to leave his wife to take a
"spiritual' wife, or wife to leave
her husband to take a "spiritual'
husband. Mormonism, as bad as it
is, is respectable beside the ways Of
the "Lynchites," if we have been
correctly informed. There is only
one kind of law that will reach this
evil and that is the civil law. If
there is no law to reach it, there
should be Que made. A delay in this
matter may bring about another evil

Woman Killed While Preparing to
Suicide.

The Hickory Times says that a
negro woman was killed i'm that
county few days ago. For some
reason the woman was tired of life
and determined to commit suicide.
She went to well and putting some
boards across it tied a rope around
the cross beam and around her neck
for the purpose of hanging herself.
While making these arrangements
the boards slipped from over the
well and the woman fell into it. The
rope broke and she was precipitated
to the bottom Of the we'll. When
taken out the woman was uncon-
scious and died in short while. A
piece of rope was around her neck
and is supposed to have assisted in
her death.

SILVER WON THE VICTORY.
The Most Important Factor in the
Election of Kenney, of Delaware.
IN THE SENATE.

DOVER, Del, Jan. 19.-Now that
the smoke of last nights Democratic
caucus battle has cleared away aud
the secrets of the caucus chamber
have become public it is acknow-
ledhed that the burning issue of the
moment, the money question, was
the most i'm mportant factor insuring
Kenney's election. Mr.. Kenney to
day reiterated in the most emphatic
manner the position assumed for
him by his friends in the caucus in
regard to free silver. He said;
81 am positively in favor of free
silver at ratio of 16 to l, and my
vote and influence will be directed
toward accomplishing that object"
In relation to the Tariff Mr.. Ken
ney contented himself with simply
stating: 81 am opposed to the Re
publican idea of the tariff"
Gov. elect Ebe W. Tunnel was
inaugurated promptly at noon to-
day. The ceremonies took place in
the court house in the presence of
the members of the Senate, House of

of Office had been administered to

The Charlotte Democrat., 1897-01-28

The Raleigh Tribune, the Re
publican organ of the State, is now
attacking Senator Butler in the
severest terms. Here is sample:
"From henceforth he is a politi-
cal Ishmaelite. He will be pointed
out as Butler, the traitor; Butler, the
migrate; Butler, the faithless. Scorn-
ed and despised by the brave and true
Democrats of the State, he is an
object of pity and contempt to his
former allies, the Republicans 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 descent has been as
rapid. So may it always be with
ingrates, and false and faithless
men. Butler and Butlerism are
dead in North Carolina"
The Republican politicians a few
shert months ago Landed Butler aud
called him "that matchless young
leader" He was a great statesman
as long as they could use him, but
when he ceases to be their tool, they
denounce him in unmeasured terms.
The Populists were fine stepping
stones on which the Republicans
climbed to power. The Tribune
may not remember that the Popu-
list party made Republican ascen-
dancy possibility in North Caro-
lima; but the Populists are likely to
remember with regret that they as
sisted in putting such a party in
control of the State.
They have all along been the
dupes and tools of a party that has
openly commended and encouraged
them, and secretly despised them.

a SORE PUNISHMENT.

city is to be punished for the sins of
few former Democrats in the last
election. 1t will be sore punish

rod to such an iniquitous measure as

irresponsible executive committees Of

The election of Senator Pritchard
has brought joy to the Republicans,
as they now claim his election in
sures majority in the Senate favor
able to the passage of a protective
tariff bill.

terday says:
"Information received here today
and during the last 10 days makes it
certain that the Senate of the United
States will be favorable to the enact
ment of protective tariff legislation.
Major Mckinley is more infested in
restoring COINCIDENCE and prosperity
than he is on the mere filling of
Offices and a good deal of his time
which the public thinks is occupied
with questions relating to patronage
is really consumed in thought and
discussions bearing on policies"
1t seems assured that as soon as
be gets into his seat President Nc,
Kinley will call an extra session Of
Congress to pass a new tariff bill.
The Republicans who were elected
on the sole and single issue of tht
gold standard, take the first opportu
nifty to pass new tariff act on tht
lines of an act that was overwhelm
ingly condemned by the people o
