THIS ONE Is POLITICAL
OPPOSED TO POPULISTS FUSING
WITH DEMOCRATS.
NO IDEA OF GIVING UP HIS 0FfICt
But He Will not be Candidate for Re. election
Thinks He is Out Of Politics.
Came Here to See the
Governor.

Chairman Caldwell, of the kalIroad
Commission, has "fiopped" again.
When the Populist conference was
here some weeks ago he was a Demo
cratic Populist fusionist strong.
Yesterday he was just as strong the
other way. Ohio Wilson could not find
more objections to Populist cooperation
with Democrats or predict more dire
disaster to the efforts being made 'to
get together
AS in all his former ''nops' Mr.. Cald-
well youchsafed no explanation and gave
no reason for his conversion.
4,,r. Caldwell arrived here on the early
morning train yesterday and left on the
afternoon train for his home.
He came TO find out what action the
Governor was likely to take i'll regard to
appointing his successor and to personally
enter his protest against acceptance of
his resignation after he had withdrawn
it.
But he didn't see the Governor, his
Excellency being III Wilmington and not
expected back until tomorrow.
1t is probable that Mr.. Caldwell VII
return also Sunday morning, and remain
until after the meeting of the Railroad
Commission Wednesday.
Mr.. Caldwell had very little to say
touching his change of mind in regard
TO his resignation or the Governors ac-
ton in accepting it. He intimated very
strongly though, that he'd see Governor
Russell or anybody else to the other
place before he'd get out now.
He said he had no doubt the courts
would sustain him in his contention that
ne could withdraw his resignation when
ever he so desired provided it had not
been accepted.
Il have never resigned anyway" he
said II simply declared my willing
ness to resign if the Governor desired me
TO do so. Had he requested my resigna
ton that day / would have signed
willingly and we would still have been
friends, but now-well. that's different
story"
The chairman had nothing harsh to
say of the Governor or anybody else
Indeed he talked very guardedly But
it was quite evident thar he had made
up his mind to hold on to his office until
his term expires next April
He will not then, he says, be q candi-
date for reelection.
Il don't know but that I'll retire from
politics altogether" he added.

being :the street next to the river. The
large town hall and market house. Ply
moutll drug store and several buildings
west Of the town hall were destroyed;
also several buildings on the opposite
side Of the street. Skittlethorpe and
Cooper were damaged by removal. The
fire must have swept nearly both sides
of the: street, west of Hornthall Il CO..
store.
There was insurance on the town hall
the drag store. Skittlethorpe x Cooper
and in some few Of the buildings on the
opposite side, in several companies, but
the extent of the insurance is not now
knowll. This street has been burned out
several times, but has had an immunity
from fires for the past few years.
Ii is estimated that the losses aggre-
gate $4,000. The cause of the fire has
not yet been ascertained.
The North Carolina Home Insurance

companies are interested.
Mr.. Isulaski Cowper, adjuster for the
