FUSED OUT OF DOORS.

3 Mr. Terrell said in the Wake county
Middle-of-the- Road Populist convention:
II have fused until | have almost fused
myself out of doors"
phrase like the man who speaks from
experience. Mr.. Terrell has expressed
in sentence. pertinent in its homely
strength what must he the feeling OF
every Populist in the State who joined
that party with honest purposes and not
to forward his schemes of personal ag-
grandizement under the cloak ofereform.
Is there Populist in the State that
can turn to his party now with the same
feeling of enthusiasm and warm allie
glance that were his four years ago?
Has its policy been such as to excite
in him these sentiments?
The leaders of the Populist party have
fused the better men out of doors and
out of the party. They have stultifed
the party before the people and disrupted
its organization. And now they raise
the cry, I'VE must fuse with the Repub-
Leans to maintain our organization"
Honest Populists will not be deceived by
this paradoxical balderdash. 1t is a
fiimsy screen to hide bold attempt to
land the Populist party in the Republican
camp.
The observation-disclosures feeling is a
common one among principled Populists
these days For all such the doors of the
Democratic party, and the front doors
too, stand wide and for them, as for
all honest white men, i warm welcome
waits within. They are asked to enter,
not as chattIes, but as patriotic citizens
having the good of their State at heart

AN OBJECT LESSON.


"The Confederate soldier has played
out
That is what George Tonnoffski. the
deputy clerk of Wake Superior court,
said some days ago.
That is the policy that has been adop.
ted by the present Fusion Board of
County Commissioners of Wake county
When they came into power they found
Mr.. A. b. Booker, an aged wounded ex-
Confederate soldier, installed as JAM
tor of the court house. In.a short time,
Mr.. Booker was dismissed and a negro
politician, by the name of Peter Cobb,
was put in his place.
SO it seems that Tonnoffski was merely
stating the facts, for Mr. Fowler an eX-
Confederate who had been employed at
the County Home for many years was
kicked out because he would not adyo-
cate Negro Supremacy.
The Dismissal of Mr.. Booker worked
"A peculiar hardship upon him. He can
not do heavy manual labor, and since
he lost his position he has found it very
difficult to make both ends meet. His
wife is dead and he has five children
dependent upon him. Some of the good
women of Cary took the girls to raise
and kind friends are doing all they can
to help the noble hero, who was wounded
in the service of his State.

MIR. e. G. Anderson, of Rural Hall,
recently said: "Clevelandism sent me
out of the Democratic party; Organism
brings me back Mr.. Anderson does
well. The Democracy that has Mr..
Bryan for its exponent and the Democ-
racy that had Mr.. Cleveland for its
exponent are very different things. In
committing itself to what the opponents
of Democracy have termed Organism
the Democratic party has pledged itself
to the prosecution Of those measures in
national legislation that will most bene-
fit the great body of American citizens.
Its opponents are the champions Of spe-
cial privileges that inure to the benefit
Of the few and rob the many. In this
great fight the Democratic party needs
the help of all good citizens, and deserves
it The men who left its ranks because
Of Cleyelandism should recognize the
new aim that the party has set itself
in response to imperative conditions
and should help it to fulfill that aim.
Patriotism and common sense alike com
mend such course and only blind
partizanship opposes it.

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced. it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly falling to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be q constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
+. j. Cheney e Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly

Wright were named 4 committee
to notify Mr. Baker of his nomi-
nation. They found him i'm the
hall and he was escorted up amid
great applause.
Mr.. Baker returned thanks for
the honor conferred upon him.
and especially for the fidelity OF
his friends and neighbrrS. The
democratic party, he said was the
conservator Of the liberties Of the
people Of Florida, and as the
nominee of such "a party he should
serve all the people. The captain
touched on the railroad commits
sion; he believed i'm it, and also in
that higher authority claimed by
the Chicago convention, which
declared in favor of broadening
the powers Of the Interstate rail
road commission. No promises
had been made by him on the SEN
atOrial question. Only one man
had asked him for Il pledge, and
he declined to give il. There
should, he said, be no imaginary
lines in the district, and he would
represent the people Of both coun-
ties for the good Of the people.
AT tins iuncture Chairman
Hines suggested that he would
like TO have n vice-prcSident, as
he had TO catch Il train, and he
called on Mr. Burford. That
gentleman, while bluShing over
the honor, named Will Hooker,
who was elected with a hurrah.
A speech was called for, but Mr..
Hooker, with Il :ew remarks on
duty, and an Alaskan stare that
cOngealed the waves Of warm ap-
plause to a staudstIll, declined.
ID. II. Irvine introduced the fol-
lowing resolution, which, after
some debate, was passed:
"WhereaS, There exists a very
general miSunderStan nding rs to
an agreement for rotation in the
nominations of the twentieth SEN
atorial district,
"ReSolved, That we are OPP
posed to any plan for rotation In
the future, and reaflirm the reso-
luton passed by the convention OF
1888, the intent of which was 10
Obliteratc county lines ana nave
all nominations made from the
district at large without reference
to rotation or the residence OF any
candidate"
Mr.. Irvine made strong plea
for his resolution. So did r. II.
Harris. Mr.. Hines favored the
resolution. but had a little pleas
antry at the former political COM
plexlon Of Marion.
Professor Stroller understood a
rotation system to exist, but Mr..
Irvine said the records didn't
show it.
Sheriff Hodge moved that Cap
tain Baker select his own commit |
tee, but the captain asked the
chair to name those from Marion.
The convention adjourned. 1t
was very amicable and harmOni-
rus: Il model in all its tranSac-
tians. We are proud Of Captain
Baker. Marion will do her duty
by him.

SPANISH ARE STUBBORN
They are COntesting Every Foot OF
Ground In Porto Rico


Washington, July 28.-Sharp
fighting has already taken place
in Porto Rico. Miles is losing no
time in pushing forward. The
army OF invasion has advanced
nearly to Yaouca, on the road to
Ponce. The advance guard had
to fight all the way against the
Spanish, and as the country be-
tween Guanica and Yaouca is
very rough, it is not likely the
Americans had an easy time.
The war department., this morn
ing, is awaiting anXiouSly news
from Miles. 1t expects soma
thing definite soon. SO far all
that can be learned has come
from Madrid, but the correctness
is not doubted so far as the
statement that fighting has be-
gun is concerned.
According to Madrid report,
the Americans began advancing
on the very Day of landing. The
Spanish concentrated a force Of
700 men to oppose them. The
engagement apparently began
toward evening, fighting continu-
Ing through the night. 1t is now
believed that Miles is approach
ing the city of Ponce itself and is
getting his army in position for
un attack.
DEWEY AFTER THE DONS
Hong Kong, July 2S.-General
Wlldman has transmitted in
formation to Dewey that three
Spanish gunboats are i'm hiding at
San Miguel, Luzon island; four
gunboats at Port Royal, Palawar
island; four steamers, laden with
tobacco, at Cagayan, Luzon is
land. Dewey has dispatched the
Raleigh and Concord to round
them up. The Spanish at Bauan
have committed several Outra geS
on British residents, several Of
whom have been imprisoned.
ROUNDING THEM Up
Santiago, July 2S.-Thc gov
ernment formally took possession
of 1000 troops ut Guantanamo yes
terday. Including Linares' corps
Of Eastern Cuba, the Spanish
prisoners now here number II 900
with 5000 at HoIquin. Linares
says less than 1000 Spanish were
defending Santiago on the day
when negotiations to surrender
opened. The deportation of
Spanish troops is expected to be-
gin Monday next. The health of
the men IN camp Is improving
but many funerals are witnessed
in the city, deaths resulting from
starvation and exposure to native
fever.
AN AWKWARD MISTAKE
Or Cape Juan, July 2s.-The
transport Mobile, of the Porto
Rican expedition, became separ-
ated from the others. She sailed
from Charleston with 1900 troops.
Last night the cruiser Cincinnati
accidentally found her within
gun-shot of San Juan and led her
scaward, and this morning led
her to the remainder of the fleet.
1t was understood the rendezvous
would be Off Flrjardo instead Of
Guanica.
WASHINGTON Is GOOD ENOUGH
Paris, July 2o.-The Spanish
ambassador, Castillo, has advised
theSpanish government to request
the United States to transfer
peace negotiations to Paris. The
Spanish cabinet is as yet uude-
clded whether to send Castillo or
some other statesman to Wash
ington to advise CambOn.
