About three Senator Marion Butler, airman of toe ropuiist ecntive committee, sent oat nlar lar.for in whirth he ha in recent meeting of the com tee it was ordered that certaiD eationi beaiked. la tne coarse or ia he said that "there is net so ach principle involved in who nail oe me nominee lor uoyeruor as U with reference to tbe eleo toral ticket." In a nutshell the Doint was that the Populist com miffRThad decided on a line of ac tion. to: get tbe 11 electoral votes and let the matter of the Governor eo by the board, permitting; the Re publican wing of the fusion party to have that, ihese circulars were seat to township chairmen all oyer the Stat-. Senator Butler asked whether a non-partisan - elector tickat would suit, pledged to vote only for silver. One of these circu lars was sent to M L Wood, of Ber tie, and be did not return it, as re quested, with his yiews as to the policy, but bus printed it and also a letter of his own, in which be scores Senator Butler The last meeting of the Populist State committee was in this city during fair week, last Oc ober, There was a large attendance. Just before this Senator Pritchard and (Jon crewman Pearson had made speeches in which thoy announced t there would -be fusion or ropu and 'Republicans in this State asisof an equal division of electors. At the committee meeting this statement by these Republicans was discussed in quite a heated style. At that meeting trie only thing die cussed was the electoral ticket, and this was brought about by the speeches above alluded to. The ex ecutive committee was aware that ' -these two Republicans had written j to Butler, and felt somewhat insalt- r ed that after tneii writing to mm -nd before hia reply came they should make such declaration. The committee directed Chairman Butler to iif orm them that they were "too previous, and that the com mittee must be consulted before any action whatever could be taken. This lets much light in on the case. So Wood's circular exposing But ler's, has caused a great row. S Otho Wilson, Populist leader, has gone to see Wood. The circular, etc., has precipitated many things. It hn made a meeting of the Populist com mittee imperative. Senator Hutler.it is alleged, has already call3d this. It has endangered tbe very existence of the Populist party. Butler's cir cular was Bent to some 800 Populist chairmen. Those who reply are to oppose fusion with the Re icans. X IV aa'rgcu ubv aiuvici una a deepiwa plan to turn the Populists over to the D L Russell and J J Mott 1 1 .II...H Ka UnM aw has A wing of the Republican party, to de Hoi ton for Republican chairmanship and to defeat Con gressman Settle's re-nomination, and that in return for this Russell and Mott are to give Butler what he most desires, and what is of the least value to the people of this feta'e the 11 electoral yotes for the Populist can didate for the presidency, who can not possible be elected. It is farther alleged that Congressman Skinner is with Russell, in order-to Becure his own renominatioo, his district (the first) being Republican ixyond doubt. It will be noted that Butler's cir cular says "at a recent meeting," when no meeting has been fce'd since October. The so-called recent com mittee meeting must have been' held, it is alleged, at .Washington, and at- by Butler and Skinner, Ibis hat is intimated plainly. Wood says it is an attempt at dictation. It is sure that if this matter of the gubernatorial nomination, which Butler characterizes as of minor im portance, had been before tbe Octob er meeting of the committee a fear- ul row would baye been raised. Ihe committee then merely directed that Pritchard and Pearson be notiGed, ae stated, and it did not authorize the issuing of any circulars by butler. Secretary Ayer, of the Jfopuiist tats executive committee, says, re ading Wood's reply to Senator ler: "I cannot HI what the will be. I do not know how people or who got Wood', eir ouot. Tbe KepuDltcans may elect a Goyernor, but certainly not by Populist votes unless they make the pledges demanded by the State oil ver convection," namely, to support only silver men. I don't know Rns Bells position. The wing of the Republicans outsiqe ef the'machine,' is ready to ioin on this issue, Only those who htrclose corpora tion among themsef lad who are expecting the benetL lof national patronage .will opposV his . pledge. Dr. Mott it-KfcJy to take it. I don't kno wlat following be- has. The machiaa' hates him, butbL3&t9 iect of the rank and fire. ont yet fo a commit tended last October it was decided that we never could defend the policy -of leaguemg with the Republicans on the State ticket, for how could we answer a charge that we were aiding men who adhered to the Republican national policy f Why, we won la be in as deep a .hole as if we had a split electoral ticket. As to the electoral fusion ticket, it is an open question in this way : the Republicans muBt put up men pledged to vote for no man who layers the gold standard. If a Democrat is put up on that platform we will vote for him This is our committee s idea. I think It will prevail by a large majority." The Winston Republican, the 'of ficial or the Republican party in this State, threw another fire-brand among the Populists today by saying editorially: 'That the next Governor of North Carolina will be a Republican is certain and that tbe party Is not lacking in available men to fill the position clearly manifest. The fact is 'the Re publicans are masteis of the situation. With anything like harmonious action and the nomination of men. "rom Gov ernor down, of recognized ability, pro nounced views, clean records and busi ness tact and worth as citizens, they will sweep the State. When it comes to a question of surrendering to Populism and free silver or keeping in touch, with the principles of the national Republican party, protection and a sound financial system, questions of policy must yield to principle," It was really funny to hear the Populist swear when they read this point-blank declaration. Their pa pers next week will "load for bear, There will be a regular hair pulling time of it. Special to Charlotte Ob server. Warned afr. Speaker.

He allowed us to do, as we once did, during;, the trying times when we assisted Capt. Albright in putting into operation the passenger train and who often timet confided in us enough to tell us, right from the records themselves, that had it not been for our frequent drumming down here in this part of the world for Standaed subscribers and for other matters of much profit and moment, and for Joha Wads worth's many business trips, the passenger trains would have been discarded after the first month. John Wads worth and we feel very sensibly the important part we played in the suc cessful issue of the Yadkin's passen ger train experiment. Anywhere you go, you hear peo pie say that Salisbury is not much of a place for its opportunities. That's not so; it's a big slander. Salisbury is a big town for its chances; it's a town that haa not only held its own, but made a credits able march progressively alongside of that of other towns, even though many of her citizens lost heavily in the boom towns of Virginia and some of them went so far as to "hit the ceiling," and are still "hit." oome years ago wnen we were much purer than now, we knew man who liyed several miles east of ML Pleasant He was a bachelor of large physique and unique habits and deep yoice and one who had contempt for geographical, lines and other lines. He became annoy ed at the conduct of some of his neighbors and in the midst of one of these fits of righteous rage he Bwore: "I'm disgusted; I'm mad; I'm going to leaye this unholy neigh borhood ; I m going out of the State I'm going to move to Salisbury, so what I am." He did : for on ths streets of Salisbury last Tuesday I saw mm ; he saw me and told me he liked his neighbors in the new State. But just wny a man uses so much unnecessary clotb in his breeches until they bag at the end, in the centre and everywhere, is a question that has often puzzled us. But to return : Stanly county is plucky. She is paying interest on the court house bonds of $10,000 ; on the new jail bonds of $5,300 ; on the railroad bonds of $100,000, In all in addition to the usual tax for county, State and sobool purposes, Stanly county pays tax to meet tbe interest on $115,300 worth of bonds. But tbese are great people. They have a road, a good court hoime and a mot excellent jail. After you leave Salisbury ten miles, you find either sioe of the railroad lined with stacks of cross ties, The inspector is now along the line. This means much money soon for the country. Mr. S H Hearne tells me that there are along the road some 60,000 cross ties. The best are worth 30 cents ; the next best 15 cents they will average 27 cents around, or for tbe lot $16,500. One feels mightily at home here. There are so many Cabarrus people in Albemarle: Callie and Franklin Little, W J.3wink and others. R E Austin, a disciple of Black- stone, is mayor.
