Saturday night in a sleeping tent in
which the small children of G. Huck's
family were sleeping. One little one,
about years Old was burned until only
the charred trunk remained. The fire
originated from a lighted candle, which
was allowed to burn too low. In try

statement, we think you have been mis-

correction. The paragraph begins at the
bottom OF the first column of the second

the Senatorial contest.

he could not be elected, but these they
intended to have if the promise of Of
fee and the use of Hanna's money would
procure them, and a further perusal of
these notes will give you brief but
convincing insight as to how it was
done.
1T must not be forgotten that among
the horde of Republican candidates for
jobs at Raleigh there was goodly num-
Der of Populsts. Some of them were
true Populists and others were Popu-
lists "for revenue only" 1t soon deVel-
oped that of the latter class there was
enough to secure Pritehard's election.
Some of these Populists wanted State
patronage while Others wanted job un-
der Mckinley. They soon found lead
er in the person of Harry Skinner whose
very name is even now stencil in the
nostrils of every true Populist IN the
State. He was the leader of the Populist
boilers who left their party to vote for
Pritchard. He is a rantankerous hater
OF Senator Butler and seemed to take
great pleasure in aiding the Republican
leaders who also hate Butler because he
(Butler) would not pursue course as ma
tional chairman Of the Peoples party that
would help Mckinley and because he
dares to use his influence against the
vicious and corrupt attempt of the Re-
publican party in this State to absorb
and bribe Peoples party men.
'The boiling Populists Skinner 8
crowd held a caucus one night and it is
said, decided not only to act with the
Republicans in the election of Pritchard,
but also act with them in distributing
State patronage refusing to allow any
Populist who voted against Pritchard to
secure any position. So the sell out is
complete. This little crowd Of POpulist
sell outs will have absolutely no follow

"Refore referring directly to the IN

characterized the election Of gold bug
Senator bv the North Carolina legisll
ture II Will be we'll to review the condl-
4ion of things at the opening OF the ses~
efon NcKnley's election had inspired
hone with every Republican place hunter
IN the State and the trains were lter-
aIlv hacked with the pie brigade. They
niled into Raleigh by the scores, nun
dreds and thousands. Such a surgmg
mass of hungry office seekers was never
before seen in Raleigh. They were there
to consult with the bosses and present
their claims"
Senator Pr.tchard was the big Repub-
can boss-the head waiter at the North
Carolina division of the Mckinley pie
counter. Senator Pritchard was also
candidate for reelection. Imagine, If you
please, the tremendous pie brigade OF
the Republican party of North Carolina
all concentrated at Raleigh seeking the
endorsement of the head water (Pritch-
ard) for some revenue job, postoffice or
some other position under Mckinley's
administration and see if you can get 1t
into your head that any of these place
hunters would dare oppose Prltchard's
reelection, it matters not how much
they might be opposed to him at heart.
So then Pritchard had the services of that
vast crowd of place-hunters to help him
get reelected.
Passing from this scene we now come
to the blacklist and most disgraceful part
of the whole proceedings. Pritchard did
have enough Republican members in the
Legislature to secure his election. With

Pritchard than the American army was
responsible for Arnold's traitorous de
sertion. Odom alone is responsible foI
his vote. Our people voted for him under
the impression that he was a Populist,
but he betrayed them.
Mr.. J. u. Green, editor OF "Our Home,
the leading POpulist paper OF the Sixth
Congressional district, writes to his paper
az follows
THE editor OF this paper went down
to Raleigh last week He couldn't stand
the atmosphere there long. Hanna's
agents and the Pritchard pie brigade will
cause the board OF health OF that city to
have to employ extra help, and after all
they can do, we expect to hear that Raj

He is not the man to betray his party,
and the Populists Of Union county knew
where to find him in the Senatorial con-
test"

haye-that through the agencies of sense

it as dead as some politicians should be.
We do not believe such q reckless bin has
the approval Of the more intelligent white
Republicans, or that such a man as Gov

so vile an act as turning over this city to
the canaille. Herein lies our hope. If
the bill should be defeated it will not be
because its originators did not labor day
