The only hope left is the possibility
which individual candidates on the Chet
Smith ticket possess by reason of their
good fellowship to secure Democratic
votes That is the search some of them
are on now. An assembly candidate, who
is a little convivial in his habits, was
heard in his cups last evening to express
the conviction that there would not be a
grease spot left of the outfit except the
remains of a few men like himself, who
had always chosen his personal friends
from among the Democratic people.

The German scare is, if-anything, worse
than the Bell fasco in It's results. The bo-
gus reformers have been able to humbug
the Germans, who are an exceedingly
conservative people, But it will work no
longer. The old leaven of Know othing-
ism, which is so strong in Republican pol
icy, has made itself too well understood
among the German-Americans, with the
result that the deception does not work

1T WAS A SMALL AFFAIR.
What a Western Man Thinks of But
Ier's Convention.
lRalaigh News ard Observer.

A prominent gentleman from West
ern North Carolina, who happened to
look upon Buffers convention at the
Academy Wednesday, said:
The Populist convention which
met here Yesterday, compared with
former State conventions Of that
party, was a small and spiritless af-
fair. There were not over two hun
dred and fifty delegates present, and
large majority of these came from
counties near Raleigh. 1t is said that
there were between thirty-five and
forty counties not represented AT all,
comprising fifteen counties, had, it is
said, but one delegate, and he an ex-
Republican. A large number Of the
delegates were Federal office holders.
postmasters, census supervisors,
deputy marshals, deputy revenue col
lectors, brandy gaugers and store
keepers and gaugers. The conven-
ton was completely dominated by
Senator Butler, and his chief lieu
tenants in manipulating the conven-
tion were Mckinley oflice-holders,
many of them the very persons that
Butler denounced as traitors to the
cause of silver and the Populist party
in 1897. These Populist Federal
otfice-holders are standing by Butler
now because they know that Butler
has made peace with Pritchard and
that Pritchard in this convention was
speaking and acting through Butler
'Some Of the delegates in the con-
vention did not wish to be put on
record as opposing the amendment,
They wanted that question left to
individual conscience and Judgment.
TO satisfy these, platform was pre-
pared which declares that the amend
ment is not a party question, and
then proceeds to denounce the amend
ment with all the bitterness and mis-
representation which prejudice and
malignity could devise. 1t is safe to
say the convention did what had been
agreed upon between Butler and
Pritchard at Washington.
.'Butler and Pritchard know that
they cannot defeat the Democratic
State ticket. They know that they
fight will be to capture the Legisla-
ture. Upon the legislative and county
tickets there will be fusion. The
State Populist ticket will keep them
from going to the Democrats, and the
amendment will be used to excite the
fears and arouse the prejudices of the
uneducated whites by all sorts Of mis-
representations of its object and ef-
feet. The method Of campaigning
| which will be resorted to will be the
most despicable ever employed in
American politics-cunning, deceit
| and brazen-face falsehood These
people have learned nothing from the
| fate which befell them in 1898.
1--WE must and will teach them a
lesson in August which they will not
SO soon forget. In the meantime
there will be necessity for some plain
talking in North Carolina, and the
