ITS POLICY is OUTLINED
Will Accept the Amendment Verdict
Without Question.
AND WILL SEEK TO REORGANlZE PARTY
The Republicans Have Absolutely no Hope Of
Carrying the State, and Will Make q.
Fight for Only Two Congress
Sional Districts.

1t was whispered on the streets yester-
day that a new Republican paper would
at an early day be established in Raleigh.
at will not be started in time to take
any active part in the present campaign,
but will be started with a view OF re-
organizing the Republican party on purely
National issues for the future" said one
of those interested in the enterprise.
"Those interested accept the verdict of the
people on the Constitutional amendment
and will make no fight on that lines.
Their effort will be to bring about a
thorough reorganization of the party on
issues that they believe will draw largely
on the Democratic party by. securing the
support OF those who favor a tariff and
sound money, and ignoring the little gang
of political traders and confusionist who
have assumed leadership, and we'll nigh
destroyed every vestige of Republican
ism, leaving only handful of office hold
ers who care nothing for the party so
they hold on
The News and Observer is not inform
ed as to who are the hackers of the pro-
posed enterprise. or who is to furnish
the money. but it is said that ex-Con-
gresham John Nichols will be business
manager and managing editor, and that
several strong writer's, not unknown to
the people Of the State will be the chief
writer's for the paper
The Republican campaign in North
Carolina gives promise of no great ac
tivity this fall, except in the Eighth and
Ninth district. Pritchard has strong hope
of being able to carry them, and in them
he will turn loose all the money he is
able to draw from Hanna's barrel. e
So far the Republicans are hopeless Of
anything and hence inactive. OF course
later on they will warm uD little and
| try to get all the negroes possible on
the registration books, but they really do
not dream of Mckinley coming anywhere
in the neighborhood of carrying the State.
"A man would have to be a mighty
big fool to imagine such a thing Tor a
moment" said Attorney General Walser,
yesterday. This election will go just
as the August election went. The Demo
Gratis have everything their way and
they'll keep it So Mckinley need look
for nothing from North Carolina. 'and I
don't think he does
mot a Congressman?
Yes. we think Well carry the Eighth
and Ninth districts" EI
