"When DR.. Thompson says that

what he must know to be a willful

nominee of the Republican party

has entered into any such disrep-
utable and corrupt compact as to
deliver the votes of the Republi-
can representatives to the infa-
nous and damnable scoundrel who
now misrepresents the people Of
North Carolina IN the United
States Senate, he has undertaken
to deliver goods that he will find
himself unable to deliver. Judge
Blythe, republican nominee of
this county, Indignantly repudi>
ates this alleged agreement and
declares that no emergency could
srlse which would induce him to
cast a vote for Butler. [ am as
sured that IS THE FEELING ALL
THROUGH the West, where Butler
is everywhere regarded as a knave
and traitor.
Thompson's letter is a most
assinine production and will lose

appreciated by the Veterans.
AS has been heretofore noted III these
columns, the Grand Camp last year at
Pulaski chose Stanton mainly AZ the So
licitation of Mss Euseaia BumGardner
OF the latter city who promised the Nete-
rans the time of their lives if they should
come.
Her pledge was fully redeemed,and much
of the pleasure OF the occasion was due

One knotty question came before the
sion, though, fortunately, to no rnpleas-
antness.
Al the request of the ladies in charge of
the Confederate Home for needy Women,
which will be opened here tomorrow,
Judge George L. Christian presented
movement as worthy, and commenting
them to the subordinate Camps.
This resolution was strongly opposed. as
it was stated hat there was "a division
among the ladies, and The Grand Camp
should do nothing until their differences
were reconciled.
Finally. with the consent of Judge
Christian. who knew nothing of the trou-
BILE and represented neither faction, the
matter was referred TO a committee con-
sisting of the Grand Commander and three
Observation-Disclosures for investigation.
ALL WAS PLEASANT.
