N NORTH CAROLINA @rying to Do That Which Will Get the Most Votes. FUSION ON THE ELECTORAL TICKET Proposition Made by the Demo- crats to the Populists. QHE STATE ELECTIONS Bpecial Correspondence of The Evening Star. { RALEIGH, N. C., August 4, 1896. The past six days have been crowded ; with events vitally affecting the very life of the democratic party in North Carolina, ‘and these events came in such startling succession as to literally astonish those who | fancied tnemselves observers and informed BS to possibilities. “Say to The Evening Star that in North : Carolina it is now no longer politics, but sentiment,” said one of the leading demo- ‘@rats to The Star correspondent. “It is | pilver and silver alone, and a desperate ef- ‘fort to do something which will get the t most votes.” An editor of a democratic paper, when he read the news that the democratic state gommittee had invited the populists to fuse, said he wished he had the power to forbid the banns; that here were the democarts themselves doing something monstrous—the very thing for which two years ago they had denounced the republicans. “But,” he added, “it is the politicians who are really doing all these things, and not the people, * as the politicians would have it appear.” When the populist delegates came back from St. Louis they quickly gave it out that ‘there might be fusion if the democrats would give them, say, five of the eleven electors. They had no time tc make a for- mal proposition, for on the night of the uth of July the democratic state commit- tee made the direct offer to divide, and ap- pointed its newly elected chairman, Clem- ent Manly, to call on Senator and Bopulist State Chairman Butler and see what terms Seeee Cad Chained nick here Kriday wight and again Saturday morning. Butler had ‘Deen sent a telegram by Manly. F. D. | Winston, a member of the democratic state ' mmittee, was present at the first meet-j ing, having gone to Senator Butler's room | a little before Manly’s arrival, so as to re- duce any possible frigidity. Neither Butler nor Manly will say one word of what occurred. That will not come out until August 13, when the popu- Uist state convention meets in this city. ‘This, it can now readily be seen, is the most important of all the state conven- tions of this remarkable year. M Opposition to Fusion. One of the leading newspapers in the Btate made the sweeping assertion the day after the committee's action in declaring In favor of fusion that the whole party in North Carolina applauded what had been dcre. Thia is untrue. There is much bit- ter opposition, and the Charlotte Observer end Wilmington Messenger, two extremely influential papers, say what was done is “monstrous.” One editor said that the gtate ccmmittee, which voted 2 to 5 in favor of electoral fusion, had absolutely gcre further than the much denounced democrats, who, early in the year, were charged with attempting to trade. An cx-democratic chairman said: “If we deal with the populists now we will have to do it again. What the populists dread above all things this year is to stand up and be counted. It is strange that just as cur people have the populists so they can abserb them or divide their vote, they biting up this fusion business.” A Republican View. Now alongside of this must be placed what Hirem L. Grant, member of the re- publican state executive committee, says: “Senator Butler doesn’t want to count noses this year. He can't afford to do it. If the democrats make Butler what he thinks a liberal offer he will no doubt fuse. But he will be the sole judge of it. We can’t fuse with tne populists on the elec- toral ticket. Butler can’t allow that. His success at St. Louis has changed the whole plan. He is obliged now, to be consistent, to fuse with the democrats electorally. But the rank and file of populists and republi- cans are bound to fuse on state matters. It is policy, not principle, which proves this. We must retain control pf the legis- lature. Watch and see if Butler does not make W. A. Gutbrie populist state chair- man. Under the new state law Butler can- not himself continue state chairman, and Guthrie is now being pressed for governor, so that when he is given something else, the chairmanship, it will appear like a great concession on his part. Then Butler, already national chairman, can manage the party in the state, through Guthrie, as well as if he were state chairman himself. Some democrats say that the two worst things done this year were the hissing of Cleveland's name by the state convention and the vir.val repudiation of Sewall by thelr state committee. What Fusion Democrats Say. On the other side of the question the fusion democrats claim that they represent the rank and file of the party. Not only this, but they go further and say they rep- resent the rank and file of the populists, too. In a speech before the democratic state committee E. C. Beddingfield declared that delegates-elect to the populist state convention were receiving letters from their people saying they must work for fusion and vote for it. Ex-Chairman Simmons, an earnest advo- cate of fusion, says it is not worth while to protest or kick against it; that the par- ty, in fact, all the silver people, have abso- lutely determined upon carrying it out. A Republican Out for Bryan. The State was informed of the fact that James H. Young, republican state commit- teeman, had declared for Bryan and Wat- fon. Friday night he went to see Senator Butler, and just as soon as the latter’s con- ferdéhce with Chairman Manly ended had a talk with him. The republicans express amazement at Young’s action, and say they think it must be a desperate effort to get “in the push.” George Z. French, one of the most prominent republicans in the state, and D. L.. Russell's chief political manager, says Young has literally read himself out of the party. J. C. L. Harris, republican ex-state secretary, who ts of al- Most the same mind as Young, and who de- clares that the republicans must give the populists all eleven votes, and must also words, - aay that they are the true demoorats. Their opponents say: “Who gave you the oe to say what shall be the standard? the state committee give it? No, for it put up a straight state ticket, and electoral fu- sion was not even hinted at. In fact, the overwhelmed.” to say they will never vote for Bryan and Watson; others that if populist electors are put up they will “scratch” them; others that they will not vote at all, and a very few that they will vote for McKinley. Re- Publicans as well as democrats admit that Party lines are down as they never saw them down before. Party ties are cast aside. For years it.was considered “bad form” to vote any ticket save the cemo- cratic or to fail to vote. That is no longer true. But it is in absenteeism from the polis that the rea] danger to the aemocratic party lies. But the republicans are badly torn to pieces. They are nervous and doubtful. D. L. Russell, the head of their stute ticket, is particularly so. He is now on a visit to Senator Pritchard, the true head of the party in the state. Russell says he will not come down from the ‘ticket; that nene of the McKinley electors will come down. He opposes a joint canvass this year, and most probably there will be none. Some repub- licans declare that even if Russell did come down, their party would hold a convention at once and put up another candidate. Senator Pritchard was once. for silver. Now he is for gold. Once Russell was for silver. Perhaps he has changed, too. He denounces the democrats bitterly for proposing to fuse with the populists. It is noticeable that the democratic state committee took no steps in regard to state fusion. The matter was brought up and discussed, but, strange to say, the conclu- sion was arrived at that only a state con- vention could fix that matter. How, it is asked, could anything save permission from Bryan and Jones sanction electoral fusion? ‘The Populists Serene. The populists are naturally serene. Just at a time when they were in a tight place the democrats practically laid down their arms. Both Chairman Butler and Manly decline to be interviewed. They have prob- ably made a compact to that effect. The most powerful influence with the democrats is white supremacy. They hate Russell, and they dread negro domination. Yet a Wilmington man said he would pre- fer to see Russell governor if a republican got in, as he can manage the negroes bet- ter than any one else. There has been much talk of the sharp trick the populists played at St. Louls in nominating the Vice President first. To Senator Butler the credit has generally been given, but it is really due to Hal W. Ayer, secretary of the populist state committee and managing editor of Butler’s paper. Some democrats appear to have an idea that if they fuse with the populists elector- ally it will be absolutely impossible for =he latter to fuse with the republicans on state matters. But 1s this correct? There are democrats who assert that ihe republican party in the state is a mere shell. There are others, like B. F. Aycock, democratic nominee for state treasurer, who declare that the republican party 1s at present better organized than in ten years past. Aycock admits that so far as organization 1s concerned the populist party excels anything this state has ever seen. Ex-Democratic State Chairman Sim- mons assigns a reason for this—that But- ler, as state chairman and absolute head of his party, always ascertains exactly what the rank and file want and then does He In this way he “leads without lead- ing.” The Senatorship. While the populist fight against Senator Pritchard is very bitter indeed, a singular thing has happened. In Cleveland county the populists and republicans have fused ard indorsed J. ¥Y. Hamrick for the le} ture. He is pledged and instructed to vote for Senator Pritchard's re-election. Pritch- ard declares the state, as well as the na- ton, will go for McKinley. It is asserted that as a logical sequence to what has occurred in the past two weeks, the silver people in the state will rave to support Dr. J. J. Mott for Senator. ‘The lat‘er’s friends are already beginning to work this scheme on the quiet. Spier Whitaker, a widely-known popu- list, who has for months desired to get the nomination for governor, declares that the Pepulists and democrats will never get to- gether unless the democrats give the popu- lists the governor. Many persons express the belief that Sen- ator Butler will demand, or has demanded, of the democrats, all eleven of the electors. He is not backward in making demands. —_—_— Furragut Post’s Campfire. A campfire was held last evening on the old Nichols estate, corner South Carolina avenue and 2d street southeast, by Farra- gut Post, No. 10, G.A.R., and a number of the old veterans and their friends partici- pated in the festivities. The holding of the campfire outdoors was something of a de- partpre from the usual order of things, such gatherings usually being held in the post hall, but the intense heat drove the vets. to seek other quarters last night, with the result that the Nichols estate was chos- en for the meeting, There is now a move- ment on foot to make the grounds the per- manent summer pleasure ground. The grounds were decorated last evening in an extremely tasteful fashion, flags, bunting and Chinese lanterns being used by the decorating committee. The old Nichois was thrown open and the parlors given over to those who cared for dancing. Music was rendered by a string orchestra and refreshments were served under the direction of a committee consisting of Messrs. A. Campbell, A. Kalstrum, C. 8. Bunyea, Nichols, George Barnes and J. Smith Cornet solos were rendered by David B. Gottwald, and the post drum corps enlivened the occasion with martial music. An address was made by Depart- ment Commander McElroy, who was pres- ent with his staff, and Post Commander A. F. Dinsmore, at one time department com- mander, also made a few remarks. The Woman's Relief Corps of the post was also present and the members of that organi- zation acted as a reception committee. —_.__ First Railway Cars They Ever Saw.

The Gulf is the first read to tap this country, and the event was a most interesting one to the inhabitants of Mena.

DEMOCRATS WATTING FOR PROPORALS The Latter Seem Averse to Fusion on the Electoral Ticket. OPPOSITION TO WATSON Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., August 5.—The populist state convention meets here tomorrow, and it will put up a full state ticket. Watson is here, and will dominate the action of the convention. It will indorse him for Vice President, and, although there is opposition to Bryan, he will also be indorsed. The populists want a division of the clec- toral ticket, with the democrats, on the basis of the vote two years ago. That would give the populists six electors and the democrats seven. To this the democrats will not agree. The democratic executive committee met here Monday, but did not discuss fusion. Some of the members sug- gested it only to criticise it, but in respect to what seemed to be the prevailing senti- Ment no speech was made on the subject. One member who arose to talk was asked to drop the question, and he did so. It was deemed to be the best policy not to act on the question at all un@il the populists had held their state convention. If that body asks for fusion it will be then time enough to take it for consideration. This was the Position of the leaders. Democrats Oppose Fusion. While there is no outspoken refusal to fuse, it is plain that the sentiment of the democratic party in the state is opposed to it. This is partly due to the fact that Wat- son has made such a strong fight on the democracy in the past that there is some Personal feeling in the matter, and the democrats would find it a bitter dose to vote for him. He is still insisting on the withdrawal of Mr. Sewall. Georgia demo- crats, who were here at the executive com- mittee meeting, declared that the party in this state would never give its consent to Mr. Sewall’s withdrawal, even if there were @ possibility of such a thing. Georgia democrats believe tnat the west- ern populists will vote for Bryan and Sewall, and they say that the southern states will remain democratic. Governor Atkinson, Chairman Clay, National Committeeman Clark Howell,former Senator Patrick Walsh and such representative party men say that Georgia will give Bryan and Sewall 40,- 00) majority over both the populists and republicans. In 1892 Cleveland received 361 votes, Harrison 48,405 and Weaver in Georgia. Cleveland’s majority over both of his opponents was 38,000. ‘The democrats are counting on large gains from the populists, who are for silver before party. Mr. Watson stands for flat money pure ard simple, and the party leaders here fear that fusion would hurt Mr. Bryan more in the north and middle states with democrats that it would help him with the populists of the south and west. The silver demo- crats are well organized all over the south, as their strength at Chicago indicated. They are in good position for the coming campaign and are confident of carrying every state. After the Populist Nomination. If the populists put a prohibition plank in their state platform tomorrow and nomi- nate Rev. Dr. Gambrell, the Baptist di- vine, the democrats will have the hardest fight since recenstruction days. Such a combination would capture many county offices for the populists, though it might not carry the state. Seaborn Wright of Rome is a possible nominee for governor. He is another boy orator, and a wonderfully magnetic one. He also has a barrel Col. W. H. Peek, who was defeated for governor by Northen four years ago, is here working for another nomination. He 1s not the choicé of the leaders, however. He may be able to defeat Dr. Gambrell, on the ground that it is not fair to the old workers to tgake up a new man who has never been affiliated with the party. The democrats of this congressionai dis- trict prevented the republicans from ‘n- dorsing Judge J. K. Hines for Representa- tive. Judge Hines is the populist nominee and would have run had the republicans indorsed him. But the republican conven- tion was manipulated from the outside, and it did not indorse him. This makes Col. Livingston's election practically assured. In the tenth congressional district, the storm center of populism. Representative J. C. C. Black positively refuses to accept a renomination. Boykin Wright of Au- gusta will be nominated. Mr. Wright has the reputation of being the best campaign manager in the state. Whether he will accept the nomination or not ts uncertain, as his law practice is worth several times the salary of a Congressman. Claims of Georgia Democrats. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. SAVANNAH, Ga., August 5.—The election of the democratic ticket in Alabama, {t is claimed by democrats, is a safe forecast of how the south will go in November. Each day shows increase in the ranks of the democratic party in Georgia. The agitation against the silver movement is gradually giving way to a support of the Bryan-Sew- all ticket. The executive committee of the democratic party met at Atlanta Monday and announced a determined fight between republicanism. and democracy, the single tax standard and free silver. The state campaign opened yesterday in a vigorous manner. Louis F. Garrard of Columbus spoke to a large audience at Marietta, while John Temple Graves, the flowery orator of Georgia, spoke at Cartersville. ‘The democrats have taken no stand in reference to the populists. That deals will be made between the populists and the democrats there is little doubt. In certain counties the former are strong, and their support of Bryan and the state ticket may give them minor county officers. The published report of the alleged de- sire of Senator Jones to have Bryan refuse the nomination on the populist ticket may create dissatisfaction in this state, but it will not jeopardize the victory of the democrats. Gold Men Silent. The extreme silence of the sound money element is giving the free silver people complete control of affairs in Georgia. The business man of this state, though voting for Bryan against McKinley, is strongly of the opinion that this country will not have a free coinage law independent of other nations. In the election of Congressmen from this state Georgia will send an almost solid del- egation of silver men. What they will do when the question is brought up in Con- gress depends upon the condition of the country at that time. That a silver bill would be blocked in Congress is openly ad- mitted by thousands of voters in this state. In Republican Ranks. In republican ranks Buck is new debat- ing whether to satisfy .the colored people of his party with a convention and state ticket. Th> latter want W. L. Scruggs nom- inated for governor, while Buck prefers J. F. Hanson, a cotton manufacturer of Macon and a very popular man. The se- lection really belorgs to Tomlinson F. Johnson of Savannah, and would be his by allowing his name before the convention. The populists are waiting for Tom Wat- son to issue a manifesto to his followers in this state. The campaign ts going to be a mixed one, with all sorts of combinations, but demo- crats assert it will have but one general result, and that a democratic majority of 80,000 to 45,000. ——__ Corean Concessions to Americans. A dispatch to the Novoe Vremya, St. Petersburg, from Vladivosteck, announces that Corea has conceded to a syndicate of Americans the right to construct a railroad from Seoul, the capital, to Chemulpo, the main port and harbor. The Americans, in addition, have the right to work the min- erals along the line of this road. Other concessions have been granted to France and Russia. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1896-TEN PAGES.

Will Close This Eve Good Progra: The Gonzaga College lawn fete will close this evening instead of Saturday evening, as announced. The reason for this ac- tion is probably the fact that a number of the booths have been sold out and another season of preparatory work would have to be gone through with in order to re- stock them. In view also of the fact that the crowds have begun ‘to thin out a trifie the management decided that it would be to the best interests of the finan- clal end-of the big venture to close this evening and not wait for the end of the week. As this is the last opportunity buyers will have to get the fancy articles and other bargains cbtainable at the fete, and as ttings left over at a fair are usually sold at a low figure on the last night, there is every indication that a large crowd will be in attendance prepared to buy everything in sight. The dancing pavilion will be running this evening, as usual, and the regular entertainment features will be in evidence. While it cannot be estimated at present how much the fete has cleared for the new Gonzaga Hall, the management, of which Mr.Joseph Kummer is at the head, is gratified beyond expression at the showing made, and there is every indication that every expectation in regard to the financial result has been realized.
