INCREASINGLY OPPOSED TO FUSION
FOR SP0lLS."

The Yancey County Democratic con
yention passed this resolution:
I'VE are favorable TO the cooperation
of all people of North Carolina who
favor white supremacy and white metal,
and are willing to work for principle, but
we are everlastingly opposed TO fusion
for spoils."
lnere is not a Chicago platform Dem
ocrat in. the State who does not long TO
see the coming together of all men who
believe in white supremacy and white
metal 1t cannot be done except upon
devotion to principle. There isn't a Dem
ocrat who is not "everlastingly opposed
to fusion for sDoils," and who will not
fight any suggestion of such co-opera-
ton if made. There would be no diff
Guilty whatever in effecting such united
action as would redeem North Carolina
from negro rule il the proposition could
be voted upon without electing men to
office. The success of bi-metalism and
white government are retarded by the
desire for spoils. Eliminate the influence
of all pie hunters, and there is not any
force that could keep apart the men
who followed Vance and believe in the
principles for which he stood and Bryan
stands.

COMFORT AND CHEER THE SOLDIERS.

Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, SET
an example to the people of Raleigh and
every other town from which the soldiers
come. As the Durham Light Infantry
were waiting for the train, Col. Carr had
a cold tub of lemonade sent over to the
car, and pipes and tobacco for the entire
company.
We should remember that the young
men who are in camp have made many
sacrifices to volunteer for the war. They
enlisted from the motives that have &C
tuated the best patriots in all ages
Many of them have given up remunera
tive employment and left homes of com
fort to undergo the privations and dan
gers incident to war. 1t is the duty o.
the people-we believe it will be theil
pleasure also-to contribute in such ways
rs they can to the comfort and the cheer
of the flower of the youth of the State
now encamped in Raleigh, and making
ready for the Cuban fight.

Revolution in Raleigh yesterday, meet.

sick. This is movement i'll the right
