MANY KINDS OF DEMOCRATS
I'VE have many kinds Of Democrats
in North Carolina. There are Parker
Democrats, Bryan Democrats, CIeFe-
land Democrats, and Hearst Demo
Gratis. There is already a hght on b<e-
tween the two big elements, the con
servatiyes and the radicals Each
wing is trying 10 capture the party
and the contest is revolving around the
goYernorship."
Taking up the published statements,
attributed 10 Senator Butler, that an
effort is being made on the part OF
some OF the Republicans Of North Car
olina to defeat the President ana
his policies, Mr.. Adams entered Wig
orous denial He declared that any
body familiar with the conditions In
North Carolina and with the Republi-
cans of the State knew that such
statement, If made, was far removed
| from the truth, and must have been
uttered, Mr.. Adams said, for some par
| tlcular purpose.
PROTESTS IN STRONG WORDS
The Republicans OF North Carolina
are loyal to the President and his al
ministration and will remain so" con
| tinued Mr.. Adams. mfr. Butler Is
raising this cry merely To attract at
tention to himself, and, il possible, to
persuade people here that he has some
/ political standing in North Carolina
| 1t had just as well be understood that
he is as dead as door nail in the old
| North State, and he cannot by this
means galvaniZe his political corpse
into life again.
The Republicans of North Carolina
will work out their own salvation with
out the suggestion or advice or mel
who have been repudiated in their OWL
State and have come to the National
Capital as a city of refuge. We take
no stock in bosses, or those who Woulo
aspire to conduct an office brokerage
BUTLER'S REPLY TO ADAMS.
| washington Post, May u, 1900
Former Senator Marion Butler, OF
| North Carolina, yesterday replied Il
the statements made in an interview
by Republican State Chairman Adams
in which Mr.. Butler was read out d
the party, by declaring that Mr.. Adam:
is a patronage machine man." as de
scribed by Secretary Taft, and united
for his present place.
While in town for a few hours, Oh
his way from New York to North Caro-
i lima, Mr.. Butler read the interview
with Mr.. Adams in The Post yester
day morning.
Il see that Mr.. Adams has lost hi
temper said he. "As far as l am con
cerned personally, l will not stop t
notice his abuse, which is only signi
ticant in that he confirms what l hav
for some time believed.
II have recently charged, through
the columns of the Post, that larg
part of the five million dollar conspir
acy fund to defeat the policies of tn
present administration was being use,
south of the Potomac, and that Their
was evidence of some of it being uset
= | IN NOrCn CarOll0d.
; THE SCHEME OF THE OPPOSI-
TION.
81 called no names, but l accuratel,
described the conduct of some few
office holders and certain politicians
which, to my mind, showed conclu
, sively that they were in the conspiracy
The description, briefly, was that thes
agents OF the conspiracy were busy say
ing that, of course, everybody was TO
: Roosevelt, if he could be a candidat
, again, but that they were too goo
friends of the President to believe tina
he would break his word, and that
therefore, he was of course out of tn
question; next, they would take u
| Secretary Taft, and dismiss him wit
! a wave of the hand, by saying that hi
speech at Greensboro made it impos
sible for any Southern Republican t
support him; and then they would pu
the climax on their conspiracy talk b.
saying that since there was to be a ne,
deal and no one could know now VIII
would be the winner, that it was to tn
best interests of the Republicans o
North Carolina not to commit them
selves at this time, but to go to tn
convention uninstructed and there
ready to take care of themselves.
1T was this exposure of the seduc
tive schemes of the conspiracy that ha
/ SO excited Mr.. Adams. And he has, b.
his clustering denial and persona
abuse, confessed that the above dc
scription fits him exactly.
Il predicted a month ago that whel
!: such false leaders were cornered, o
when they discovered their PREACHER
GUS work could not succeed, they woul,
try to get on the band wagon and swea
, louder than any one else that they hat
always been true to the administration
The evidence is accumulating fast, an,
1 now file Mr.. Adams as another ex
hibit
He does not get in line squarely, a
! he would if he were sincere in his pre-
fessions of loyalty. He says that i
the President is a candidate he will b
for him. All the hypocrites in tn
South have been saying this for lon
time. He lodges as to who will be hi
!, second choice for President. This Is i
, keeping with his past duplicity.
WHAT THE n. G. STATE REPUE
}, LICAN CONVENTION WILL DO.
Il wish to say that there will be n
ifs nor 'ands' in the resolutions pass
ed by the next Republican State Coz
vention, but that it will instruct ii
> delegates to tender to President Roose
Welt second nomination; also, tina
the delegates will be further instruete
: that if the President should then refus
the call of the people, to vote for SCI
, rotary Taft as second choice. This
l the overwhelming sentiment Of the De6
pie of the State to-day, and my belle
