Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., March 5, 1894. The keynote of the campaign which the democrats will conduct in North Carolina this year has been touched. It is that this must be “a North Carolina campaign that Mr. Cleveland's personality must be kept out as properly having no place in it, and that the succession to Senator Ransom must also be kept out. Ht is re- garded by the most thoughtful democrats to be extremely dangerous to wrangle over this senatorial succession and thus cause further division in the ranks, but to de- cide the matter only after the state is car- ried. It is felt that the interjection of loss of the state. The democratic paper which may be said to most ably and strongly represent what may be termed the anti-Cleveland democrats says: “No man can lead the democracy in North Carolina to victory in 1894 who kicks the Chicago platform from under his feet, stands as the fast friend of the gold bugs, leans to a high protective tariff as the final outeome of democratic revision, opposes 2n income tax, of all taxes the most just and equal, and antagonizes the repeal’of the 10 per cent tax on State banks.” This brings out distinctly the gflevance which a large faction or element of the party has against the national administration. It 1s in fact a complete statement of the opposition to the President within his party in North Carolina. J The paper which perhaps’ “backs” Mr Cleveland as strongly as any in the state says: “It is obvious that the democratic party in North Carolina cannot be organ- ized for battle on a line of indorsement of the Cleveland administration.” The lead- ing democrats and the newspapers have not supported the administration as a set- tled democratic policy; have not indorsed jit and have unduly magnitied their differ- (ences with it. To such an extent has this | gone that an indorsement of the President | probably could not now be secured from a state convention. Yet the President has many strong adherents in the state, who, as the leading paper last quoted says edi- | torially, “would not suffer a convention to | repudiate him if they could help it.” It will therefore be seen at once how necessary it is to keep individuals and issues out of the campaign if the demo- crats would carry the state. It is also readily seen how divergent are the views and how hard it would be to reconcile discordant elements in the democratic party. There is evident a disposition to make the silver issue a leading one. The | newspapers in speaking of certain men possible candidates for the congressional | nomination have taken care to say that the men named are ardent advocates of silver. The Coalition Movement. The republicans and populists who are urging their parties to coalesce are work- ing earnestly in that direction. It is the [current rumor that J. C. L. Harris in the | fourth district and Daniel tion nomination for Congress. Both are | veteran republicans and two years ago were the most enthusiastic advocates of fusion with the populists. Harris claims that the coalition or fusion movement is spreading. The Farmers’ Alliance now has a dozen lecturers in the ficld. Jt is alleged that these talk politics and ne agricultural matters. It is also declared | that a special agent of the alitance who | professes to give the farmers points is holding secret ‘meetings and stiri up the jalliance brethren against the democrats. It is true that there are now a very small jnumber of democratic alliance men. It is also true that when the populists are hold- jing their county conventions and speaking republicans meet with them and speak |and that the speakers vie with each other |in abusing Cleveland and the democrats. A democrat who holds a high position at Washington seid a day or so ago while | here that the republicans and populists in | North Carolina might always be relied? on |to “do the fool thing” political man- | agement; that in there cannot be and will not be a complete coalition; that the re- publicans have lost three or four chances | of success in years past, and have alWays done foolish things since 1876; that while. the democrats know that there is dissat- isfaction and, disaffection in their own party they do not know or else forget that these also exist in the other parties, for when one party is affected the others are also by internal dissensions and simi- larly weakened. A complete coalition | would probably defeat the democrats,but it jis as dithcult to make a solid compact of populist and republican votes this year as | to satisfy all the democrats, The Simmons Question. Some of the friends of Senator Ransom having intimated that his hopes of re-elec- |tion are bound up in the confirmation of | Simmons as revenue collector of this di trict, a good deal of argument has followed. |One anti-Ransom democratic paper says | that if he is made a political issue this year it will drive many democrats out of the ‘party rani and that thousands will leave if given to understand that a vote for a democratic candidate for the legisiature is a vote for Ransom. Inquiries as to the condition of Senator Vance ure made daily. The published news has been rather favorable. A private letter frgym a person at Tampa to relatives here (does not give such a favorable statement, but says his condition is not satisfactory. Perhaps the one thing which has tended most to arouse resentment and cause talk has been what may be termed the “division of the state” between the two Senators, the ene taking the east and the other the west. |A Congressman, it is intimated, cuts a small show, and so does the chairman of |ihe party. ‘It is this “division” which has been and is so powerful an clement in mak- ing friends and sympathizers for Simmons jand opponents of the Senators. | ‘The truth is that this year the democrats {cannot afford to run any risks, while the jother parties can do so, and are entirely jready to take any steps to win success. | Not one of the parties knows “where it is at A curious feature is the reticence of the negroes.

The new secret order, the “Knights of | Columbus,” is said to have obtained a foot- jing in this state. It claims to be non-polit- |ical, but appears to be quite the contrary. Mr. Ed. Chambers Smith of Raleigh, state democratic chairman four years ago, is an avowed candidate for the democratic noml- nation in this (the fourth) district. Dr. John J. Mott is one of the few w: |republicans in the state. He is, of course, |sought after. He is a fusionist and two years ago urged the republicans and popu- jlists to get together. His bitterest enemy: |John B. Eaves, the republican chairman. jopposed coalition and carried the day. Dr. Mott says the republicans saw their error |too late. He declares that Eaves men told the national committee two years ago that coalition would weaken the republicans and |help the democrats; that this was believed | Ithy then, but that later Chairman Carter and | | President Harrison ga | mind to the leaders who had thus misrep- resented the facts. Dr. Moit contends that the strength of the democratite party in the | south depends upon the solidity of the re- publican party, the great majority of the latter being negroes. His scheme is to help |the populiste, and thereby force the demo- |crats to seek the negro vote, and thus put |them on a footing with republicans. The e a piece of their | democrats got some negro votes two years he This pleased Dr. | ago. Mott, Pi their |medcle with the state ticket th the democrats to put the “machine: to work. As between the populist and demo- |eratie parties the doctor thinks the negro | will go with the democrats, and he gives as a reason that the negroes “like to be with the elite.” It ts likely to be a bitter campaign. Two years ago the heat of the quarrel was be- tween the populists and democrats. Marion Butler, the new president of the National Farmers’ Alliance, is also the life and soul of the populist movement in this state, the | editor of the chief populist organ and an «s- jDirant for Ransom’s seat in the Senate. | One of the leading democratic organs,whose |editor was attacked by Butler, says: “The difference between the editor and Mr. B |ler is that between a man who is prosecut- ing journalism as a life work, for its own jake, and @ knave who is using an honor- this senatorial question may result in the | Russell in | the sixth desire and hope to get the coali- | a word of | SSeS | apie profession for the purpose, immediately, of beating the public out of money, and ulti- mately, through the votes of fools, of get- ling an office.” This is an index of plenty of quarreling during the year, There are quite a number of steadfast North Carolina democrats who openly say they are entirely willing to “cut loose” from the New York democracy. The passage of the Bland bill by the House gives the democrats in this state grea: pleasure. A great many of them however, distrust the Senate. —_-+>-—— KISMET OR CHANCE.

Plays a Trick on People in the Hore | rors of Seasickness. Paris Correspondent London Telegraph. | A gentleman living in a metropolitan suburb was strolling down one of its streets when he came by chance across 2 couple— a man and a woman—whom he immediately recognized as having been his fellow-pas- sengers in a steamer crossing the channel about a week ago. His reminiscences were not of a particularly agreeable nature, for he lost no time in getting them arrested, and they are at the present moment in cus- tody at the depot of the prefecture of police. The tale which he unfolded to the police commissary was as follows: The steamer had hardly left the English port, en route to the shores of France, when he and about fifty other companions in misery were seized with all the symp- toms of mal de mer. The only traveler who seemed exempt from suffering was the man who had been arrested. He paced the deck with the utmost complacency,now and then taking from a bonbon box a losenge, which he swallowed with apparent satis- faction. The woman in whose company he Was met in Paris, acted on the steamer as if she was a perfect stranger to him, and she seemed, indeed, to be the greatest vic~ tim of them all. So intense were her suffer- ings that the man walked up to her and offered her one of the lozenges, declaring that they were a sovereign remedy against seasickness. She took one, and in the course of a few minutes said that she was completely cured, and soon her fellow pas- sengers beheld her discussing with consider- able relish a plate of sandwiches, washed down by a bottle of stout. One after the other they begged the pos- sessor of the marvelous lozenges to favor them with one. “It so happens that I am the inventor,” he replied, “and as I have a few boxes with me, I shall be most ha] to oblige you with them at the rate of each.” The unlycky passengers, whose misery had in the meantime rather increas- ed than otherwise, enthusiastically wel- comed the offer, and soon all the boxes were sold, the gentlemaa from the suburbs being the purchaser of one. But somehow the lozenges had no effect. Not one of the buyers was to be seen irg for stout and sandwiches, and whole party did not get to the end of troubles until they were once more on terra firma. The suburban gentleman had the lozenges analyzed, and they were found to be ordinary jujubes. Chance had thrown the couple in his way, and he told the police commissary that he was quite sure that they had acted this comedy for the purpose of getting money out of thelt fellow passengers, The man and the woman both declared at first that the suburban one must have mistaken them for another couple, but afterward they made a full con- feasion. Oddly enough they had gone to the suburb to inspect a house which they had thought of buying with the proceeds of the sale of many boxes of Jujube lozenges in numerous passages across the silver streal when the stormy winds did blow. oe Moltke Was a Spy ft From the London Telegraph.
