PERFECT UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN HIN
AND oRlTCHARD
Butler to Chip in With Senate Reorganization and
Pritchsrd to Pledge the "Pahb" for
1893 and 1900

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.-(Specia)
A prominent North Carolina Repub-
aican, talking to a friend yesterday,
said: 'There is a perfect understanding
between Senators Pritchard and Butler,
and a reconciliation has been. effected.
The Republicans are crazy to organize
the Senate and get the offices. They
cannot do it wItnout Populist help. But
Ter is anxious to come back to the Senate
from North Carolina. These two things
caused the coming together. Butler is
to vote with the Republicans to reorgan-
lie the Senate if his vote is needed; if
not, he is to be permitted not to show
his hand at present by declining to vote
at all. Pritchard is to throw the Re-
publican support to Butler in 1900, and
they are to secure cooperation in 1893"
The man who made this statement
holds an important office in North Car
DINA, to which he was elected by fusion.
He wants to keep it, if he can't get a
bigger place under the Federal govern
ment, and he knows he cannot do so
except through fusion with the Popu-
lists. He may be talking through his
hat and / suggested as much, but he
said that time would soon tell, and to
watch Buffers action about the organl-
sation of the Senate.
