HE VOTED FOR M'KlNLEY.

We noted a few days ago that Mr.
Devereaux Turner, of Orange, had been
nominated for the Senate in the district
composed of Alamance. Orange, Durham
and Caldwell and Caswell at so-called
Populist convention that met in Hills
boro. There were no delegates at all
present from Caswell and Durham, only
two from Alamance-W. Il. Ireland and
Fred Blanchard-and only FIVE from
Orange, though the convention was
held in Hillsboro.
A prominent Populist of Orange says
that Mr. Turner voted for Mckinley in
1896, and that the Populists will not
support him for the Senate. There are
other Populists who declare that as
only two out of the four counties in the
district were represented in the conven-
ton, the nomination is illegal, and
therefore is not binding. 1t would seem
that it would require at least that a
majority of z counties be represented
for the action to be legal
We refer to the matter today merely
to say that this is one more of many
evidences that the Populist conventions
are turning out Republican nominees.
Exactly why Populist convention
should nominate a man who voted for
Mckinley is not clear. 1t is clear that
in many counties the Populist party is
in the control of gold bugs. That is
one reason why so many Populists are
declaring that they will not follow Nc
kinley leaders into the Republican
party

GOVERNMENT BY CONTRACT.

that in November the voter will have an
opportunity to repudiate it.

HELD 1T IN THE P0SToFFICE.

In many of the counties the fellows
in charge of the populist machine have
quit pretending to advocate Populist
principles, and openly and VIGOROUSLY
show that the Republican office-hold-
ers are in absolute control of the party
machinery.
Take, for example, the party bosses
in Caldwell county The county con
vention was held last Saturday in the
post-office at Lenoir, and Nose Har-
shaw, the goldbug postmaster, was the
power behind the throne. Fusion with
the gold-bugs and negroes was, of course
endorsed. Harshaw is the Republican
candidate for Solicitor as well as post
master.
The office-holding Populists evidently
think the entire Populist party is made
up of men who are ready to saddle the
gold standard and negro supremacy per
petually upon the country if they car
get an office. They are destined to i
rude awakening.

OF Seif-Interest In His
Complaint.

II isn't every man in Uncle Sans pay who
feels his responsibility as does an old irlshV
man who IS treasury messenger just the
other day he was berating an absent clerk
for leaving some pins on the edge of his
desk where they might be brushed of by
anybody passing.
They'll be swept on the fare," said he,
tfand wasted, to the extravaganza of the
government, which is already SO hard up it 8
borrowin' money, it is, to pay lxplnses, and
it's shame, it is, for the min IN the gov
eminent imploy to be wastin pins which
cost money
There was a general laugh at the earnest
ness of the old mans complaint, and some
body said he deserved an increase of salary
for his devotion to the interests of the coun-
try. And then, as the clerks trooped out,
the old man said to the last of them:
''Yis, it's all right for yees gazoo byes to
be laughin' at me. I'll see nothin wasted
here. They kin laugh. but it's not thin that
