WHEN DID COL. SKINNED
CHANGE?

In the Populist State convention, Col.
Harry SINNERS honor was so abnormally
sensitive that he couldn't even bear Zeb
Walser in an Office that couldn't touch
the silver question until his position could
be put beyond peradVenture. Now he
is in Raleigh trying to elect Pritchard to
a position that will enable the gold bugs
to control the u. S. Senate, and Skinner
knows it. Whence this great change of
heart? Has Col. Skinner had confer
ence with Mark Hanna or is he figuring
to succeed Senator Butler? And is he
willing for office to deliver the residue
of his party bag and baggage over to the
Republicans?
Col. Skinner may succeed in electing
Senator Pritchard. If so, he will at the
same time dig his own political grave.

THE HARE AND THE TAR BABY.


A smart controversy has sprung up be-
tween the Populists and the Republicans:
the former maintaining that their CO.
operation with the latter was to effect
uate certain reforms, while the latter
maintain that it was mainly to secure
the spoils, which neither could have won
without the aid of the other.
aIany-yes. most of the Populists, new
er intended to lose their party indemnity
by cooperation, which the Republicans
always call fusion" They did not know
that it was going to be hare and tar
baby alliance from which the Populist
hare could not pull loose without leaving
a large part of his corporosity firmly at
tached to the Republican tar-baby. Left
fore foot stuck by Pearson's election to
Congress: left hind foot stuck by Lin
ney's election, rudimentary tail stuck
and torn off by not officially denounc-
ing Settles candidacy.
Mark Hanna has added tar to the baby.
1t is blacker and more Extensively sticky
than ever. And now it is seriously pro-
posed that the hare shall innocently butt
its head against the tar baby and affec-
tionately embrace it by electing Senator
Pritchard. And this too at time when
the hare is trying to recover the autonomy
of its two stuck paws and decently scrape
off the tar caught during the last cam
paign. ShreWd Republicans tell US pri-
yately that they have caught the Popu-
list already and that they now could not
if they would disengage themselves from
their entangling alliance without leav-
ing half of their corporosity. 1t is ap-
parent that the Populists have in their
ranks now q considerable number who
have willingly traded away their party
autonomy, and il there ever should be a
cleavage between them and the Republi-
cans, they will leave in that party ten
thousand voters and three thousand Of
fice-seekers.
IL Senator Pritchard or any reputed
gold bug or doubtful silver man Is elect
ed, there win practically be no Populist
party two and four years from now. They
will constitute little more than a Repub-
hcan annex. The Populists have given the
Republicans two branches of the State
government, the Governor and the Su-
preme court. If they elect Senator Pritch-
ard that will give the Republicans the
Legislative branch also; because it will
show that the Republicans can control
that branch whenever they really de-
mand it. The same power which controls
the Populists so as to force them to elect
a Senator they do not trust, can control
them to effect any vicious legislation.
This is what decent men fear more than
everything else: Pritchard's election
would open the sluice for more filthy
legislation than has disgraced North Car
DINA since 1868 This is why every hon.
est man irrespective Of party, is anxious
to see him defeated.

from his statements made in his direct ex
animation.

UP by counsel for contestee. This ex-
animation was mainly directed to the
proof that as the witness stated, the
Democrats had duplicated the yellow

on the redirect examination: How he
knew that the Democrats had the tickets
duplicated" He replied that he took it
for granted that they had" quite lot

and con, in reference to the stIckerS found
loose in the box. He stated that he re-
fused to count the loose tickets for
Broughton because it was the custom not
to count such tickets, and not by virtue of
any authority conferred on him by the
order Of Justice Clark, or from any other
source This witness stated in response
to the question in reference to a ballot
which he threw out, which contained the
name of Needham r. BroughtOn and 9th

A further examination Of witnesses
was had at the office of Commissioned
Maroon last night, but nothing of special
note occurred. it being confined 10 the
examination of certain conyicts, with a
view to proving for whom they voted in
the last election. There was much dodg-
ing on the part Of some Of them, but suf-
fcient facts were cork-screwed out Of
several of them to establish the cOnten-
ton on the part of the contestant.

THE AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULE

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Agricultural
schedule of the tariff law which was con-
sidered to-day by the Ways and Means
Committee inspired statements from the
Representatives of wide range Of indus
tries. There was a conflict between Mex
lean cattlemen and Congressman Curtis,
of Kansas, over the effect ON cattle and
beef produced in this country of the Will
son rates. Representatives of the Penn
sylVania and Virginia Oranges asked for
bounties on agricultural products. The
Massachusetts fishermen and fish deal
ers, and the salt importers and New York
producers had interesting tits. The
Southern rice growers argued the neces-
sity of higher protection, and similar ar
guments were presented by California
fruit growers, Philadelphia seed men and
maccaroni makers, while importers of
Bermuda potatoes and onions wanted
concessions. Tomorrow will be devoted
to wool.
