finally secured a better feeling, and about
a. m. the Democrats gave in and unani-
mously named Poynter.

ant governor, the Populists almost de-
feated fusion again by refusing this

FORMING A WHITE LEAGUE.
Democrats Organize Against RePub-
iicans ana PopuIists.

Raleigh. n. C. Aug. 3-The North Caro-
lima Democrats have formed the White
Government Union" The purpose Of the
league is to re-establish in North Caro-
lima the supremacy of the white race
Neither oaths nor signs or any pass
words or grips" viii be allowed There
are TO be county and township unions
The order was organized here at State
headquarters. The 1880 negro voters
dominate the State. This is made possi-
bic by the $4,000 POpulists who left The
Democratic party and who affiliate with
the Republicans.
The Republicans and POpulists are pro-
claiming aloud that they propose to carry
the State by a far larger majority than
in 1896. Republicans declare their party
is now united. The Democrats are quietly
confident. Not in twenty-five years have
they worked harder. Chairman Simmons
says that in some of the counties which
are Populist strOngholds the POpulists
are attending in great numbers the Demo-
cratic speakings. Up to this year they
have for FIVE or six years refused 10 at
tend Democratic speakings or read Demo-
cratic papers or literature of any kind

CROKER oBsTRUCTs HARMONY.
Threats of Destroying HIPS InfIu-
ence In the Stnte Convention.


New York. Aug 3-Richard Croker
came up from Long Branch last night
without having contributed anything to
the restoration of Democratic harmony.
which was disturbed by his challenge OF
former Senator HIS leadership.
It was expected that the conference by
the sea would be productive of az least a
truce among the Democratic big four"
Senator Murphy had predicted it; David
B. Hill had demanded it. and Hugh Nc
Laughlin had declared that il must be
brought about. Richard Croker has said
nothing. and the fact that Srmony has
not been created is therefore laid at his
door.
Senator Murphy and Mr.. Croker. in
stead of preaching harmony. are telling
all their friends that HIS influence Is
gone and that they will surely bury him
in the State convention. Some sympathy
has been wasted upon Mr.. HilTs sad case
in consequence. II has been misplaced.
Mr. Hills friends declare in the most
positive terms that Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Croker have made no fleadway in the
country and that Hill holds the reins al
solutely They offer to give names in
support of this assertion and they chal-
lenge the Croker-Murphy combination TO
show where they have gained.
