Raleigh, N. c., Dec. 18.-The Populists
are organizing all over the State. And
they are organizing against the Amend
ment.
These observations apply. however,
only to the Republican Populists. The
MIddlc-of Of the Road Populists and the
Populists with Democratic leaning are
for the Amendment and ally them
selves with the Democratic party in the
coming campaign.
The Populists State convention. the
leaders claim, will declare emphatically
and unequivocally against the Amend
mcnt. This. they say they have learned
by correspondents with representative
Populists in various sections of the
State.
No call has yet been issued for this
convention, but il is expected that the
Popnists State committee Will meet
here It an early day 10 fix n date for it.
DR.. Cyrus Thompson, chairman of the
committee, said yesterday he had not
yet called the committee together, but
that he would soon do so. The fact
that the election next year is in August
makes an early convention necessary
DIR. Thompson expects to issue his call
after Christmas. The meeting, he
thinks, Will be held between the 18th
and 30th of January.
