With a view of obtaining the latest xo most accurate information regarding republican plans Tae Stan correspondent has interviewed Editor Purnell of the North State, the official organ of that party. Mr. Purnell said: “Senti- | ment in this part of the state has beén strong against a republican state ticket, but there has come about quite achange in this since the holding of the third party state convention.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS. ‘There are some changes in the politieal pano- rama in tke past few days and the gain in ad- vantage is by the democrats. The leader of the fusion movement, Mr. J. C. L.

He laughed when he was told that his o ponents had said that he was “read out of party,” and added that his plain talk in the resenco of the national committee at New York last week showed that he wns not afrahi of anybody. Chairman J. B. Eaves, Harris’ long-time opponent. was there, and, according to Harris, when tho discussion became lively and Harris denounced Brady, the postmaster at Charlotte, Eaves left, the inferenee being that he thought his turn would come next. Harris was told yesterday that W. P. By- num had declined to be the "6 nominee for governor and: that James E Boyd would also decline, and that in this ey D. M. Furches or if. G.

This would givethe movement an apparent strength and would cause ‘many voters formerly of democratic proclivities to that “the party of anceess” was bound to be the third party. In other words, no action taken by the republicans could make their party sit- uation worse, and so any aid thus given to the third party would reully aid the republican party. When A.

Skelly's seconds were Joe Choynski and Jimmy Carroll, while Jack McAuliffe held the bottle. Dixon's handlers were Tom ORourke, Jack Harlin of Boston and Jimmy Dougherty, also of Boston. “Prof.” Duffy was referee, as usual.
