fingers and soft nervous hands could DO
them with a rapidity that startled the
beholder. This made him great IA

IT is FALSE SAYS BUTLER.
The Senator From Sampson Replies to
Major Grant.

The statement made in Sundays
News and Observer by Major Grant,
said Senator George Butler, Of Samp-
son county, yesterday, shat | was
pledged to vote for Senator Pritchard,
and that in considera ton of such pledge
| was to get the Republican votes for
Congress next time is absolutely and
unqualifedly false, there is not a line or
syllable of Mai Grams statement that is
true.
Efforts were made by the Repub-
leans TO pledge the Sampson represen-
tatfves as well as myself for Senator
Pritchard. We would make no such
pledge.
In answer to letter from Mr.. Holton,
the Republican chairman enquiring if l
was pledged to Senator Pritchard |
wrote him before the election that | was
not pledged to Senator Pritchard or any
one else My only pledge was to my
people that I would vote only for man
in favor of silver, and abide by the action
Of the Populist caucus.
Maj. Grant, made an effort TO get one
Republican representative from Sampson
county, failing I'm that he wrote the chair
man of the Peoples party of Sampson
county to get a pledge from the Senator
and representative for Pritchard. This
letter from Maj. Grant was never answer
cd, and the statement now by him that |
am singly-doubly-o tribly pledged
to Senator Pritchard is not only false but
was made deliberately with the knowl-
edge of its falsity
