' The fine Italian hand of Mr. Marion Butler is to be seen in the result of the transactions -at St. Louis last week. While the Populist convention was protesting its sincerity in the cause of free silver, it was giving the lie to Its protestions by nominating a presiden tial ticket which would tend to split the silver strength of the country. The Democrats in nominating a ban ker, railroad magnate, ship-owner and utocrat generally in Mr. Sewall, of IJjaine, gave the Populists an advant- iney were not sjow to make use They raised a great hue and cry t the unsuitableness of such a date for the vice presidency, and professing friendship for Bryan, eeded to nominate the wild ex iist, Tom Watson, of Georgia, as lr candidate for the second place on the ticket. As the Observer pointed out Sunday the double Bryan electoral tickets in the States will necessarily split the silver strength of the country and virtually help to elect McKInley. But the nomination of Watson Is hard ly meant to be permanent. It will be remembered that the Populist national committee was given plenary power after it was constituted by the St. Louis convention that means that it has really the same power as the Pop ulist convention itself. It can thus take down Watson from the vice presi dential place and substitute anyone else it pleases in his place or it can take, down Bryan from the head of Its ticket and put up a Populist in his place, if it so ordains. That Watson was nominated only for trafflckng purposes is hardly to be doubted. His nomination gives the Populists a strong "pull" with the Democratic powers that be. The Populist commit tee will doubtless demand a cabinet job or some good foreign mission for Watson in exchange for substituting the name of Sewall for that of the Georgian. They may want a few other good offices to boot. The fact that Marion Butler, whose profession is political trading, has been made chair man x)f the Populist national com mitteee confirms the impression that Watson was merely nominat ed to be swapped. Mr. Butler, too, will get all there is to be had for his party, and for Mr. Butler, too, in the deal. And what will Mr. Bryan say now? What will he say when he thinks of Senator Teller's warning not to make any pre-election promises? The following account of the adop tion of the minority report of the com mittee on rules of the Populist conven tion, eSafrom the New York Sun, is submittedln evidence how Mr. Butler woritej ms scneme: it not been for the vote of una the convention wnnH ed the schemes of the "Mid air' men. was precipitated when Per ii.

Oorrespondenee of the Observer. v WABHrsoToir, Jaly 28. It is believed here that Butler may not only Bid la the' project to Dominate Bryan on a ticket with a Populist for Vice Presi dent, for trading purposes, but that be will have the Populist State convention nominate Mj. W. A. Guthrie for Gov ernor, while proposing a ropansi-tte publican f asion as to tat rest or tbe State ticket. Butler has acquired such a reputation for trafficking in politics that he may get credit for some things he does not propose. A Democrat said to-day: "If Guthrie should be nominated it is probable Rus sell would be ultimately withdrawn." This Democrat thought Watson's chance was in perfect organization, a foil Democratic vote and his magnetic eloqnence. He does not expect any considerable number of Populists to support our State or local tickets. Mr. E. C. Brooks, of Griftan, has re turned home from a few weeks' vaca tion. Ue found splendid crops in Greene, Lenoir and neighboring coun ties. The people talked more of na tional than State politics, and Demo crats were enthusiastic over Bryan. A pair of official North Carolinians res ident here strolled over the White House lot, where the Christian Endeavor tents lately stood, and found the stone which marks the meridian of Washington. It bore an inscription briefly explaining its object. Third Assistant Postmaster General Kerr Craige has returned from a short outing at Atlantic City, N. J. lie says it is a most enjoyable place with its broad board walk along the beach for five miles. 4 The two congressional headquarters of the great parties here afford a con trast which Democrats are not slow to remark upon to the advantage of their own party. The Democrats went in their old plain and unpretentious rooms at the Wormley Hotel. There is hard ly any furniture down stairs, and mat ters are about as simple in the upstairs apartment where Messrs. Faulkner and Uordon hold forth. The Republicans are much more snugly ensconced on the second floor of the new Normandie Ho tel. I did not count the number of rooms occupied, but there c uld no', have been fewer than six oreight. They likewise have a larger clerical and manual force employed than their rivals. The D. mocrats are not sending out so many documents yet as the Re publicans for they started later. Hut the main reason is probably that the Bi-Metallic League takes much of this off their hands. Many of the silver arguments designated by the Democratic committee are publi cations of the league. So far the Democrats have printed and are circulating, under congressional frank, many speeches on the silver and income tax questions. They have likewise distributed several leaflets. The atten tion of the Republican committee was called to day to the paucity of these small tracts, and they said that some would be issued forthwith. People don't read the longer arguments as much as they used to. While the Re publican quarters are sumptuously fur nished, there is so much difference be tween them and the quarters of the Democratic committee that correspon dents are to-day writing about the ar istocratic surrounding! of the agents of plutocracy. At the Republican quarters Congress man Mercer, of Nebraska, arrived to day and assumed the secretaryship. His conversation with correspondents indicates that he thinks McKinley will have a hard time carrying Bryan's State. While he, of course, felt obliged id claim that he .vould, his manner of making the claim showed that he was rather uneasy as to the result there. PREDICTIONS AS TO TBS KESCLT IN FORTH CAROLINA. A prominent Democrat from North Carolina, who is staying here tempora rily, said to day to a representative of the Journal: "I see some extravagant claims have been put forth within a few days by Republicans and their Pop ulist allies with respect to the vote of North Carolina next November. That State, we all know, is fighting ground. Should the entire body of Populists vote with the entire body of Repub licans they would certainly succeed. But the people of North Carolina, while they showed a fusion majority of Re publicans and Populists in IS'J'2 in the presidential election (if the votes for Weaver and Harrison had been counted together) and again in 1894 in the State election, when they were counted to gether, are for free silver, and no deal of ahe Populist politicians with the Re publican politicians will prevent the free silver Democratic candidate from receiving a majority of the votes of the State. If a gold Democratic tick et is nominated, it will take off only a handful of votes. This trifling deduction will be more than compensated for by silver Republicans who will follow Dr. Mott, the old Re publican leader, now one of the shin ing lights of ithe Silver party. Marshall Mott, his son, late chairman of tbe Re publican convention, will probably in fluence some voters the same way. It Butler's programme be to nominate a pretended Bryan ticket, with a Popu list on it for Vice President, of course as it will not contain the same electors as the Bryan and Sewall ticket, the votes would not be counted for Bryan and Sewall in the electoral college Sup posing the Republicans were willing to vote for this bastard Bryan ticket in order to take the State from Bryan, 1 know the Populists cannot all be held to that line of action. Bryan has amone them many true friends who would bolt tbe action of their convention for his sake and that of free silver. In other words, they would see no earthly hope in voting for a Bryan ticket with Mc Kinley Republicans which vote could not go to swell Bryan's vote in the elec toral college, but which would reduce that vote. Therefore, believing that a sufficient number of Populists and silver Republicans will vote for Bryan and Sewall with the practically solid Demo cratic strength of the State, I have no doubt whatever of North Carolina." Another prominent North Carolinian said: "At least thirty-three per cent, of the Populist vote, which was forty five thousand in 1894, will be cast this year in the presidential election for Bryan and Sewall. This with a slight increase from the silver Republicans and the relative proportions of the Demo cratic vote as compared with the last would elect the Democratic ticket in North Carolina. Bat with a magnifi cent State ticket to back the wonderful enthusiasm for Bryan, the Old North State is going to increase her last vote by several thousands. All the reserves will be called out." Senator Butler's little scheme of dickering with the two great parties will have a close somewhere and soon. "If," said a North Carolinian to-day, "be expects to fool the Populists into voting into the air under the pretence of voting for Bryan and free silver he will find he has underated the intelli gence of his Populists followers. He would certainly receive for such a ticket not more than half, and that would fall short of tbe necessary number. Be sides many of the Republicans would refuse to drop the McKinley electors and-- support -a one-horse Populist scheme foredoomed to failure. " The same gentleman said that the remark attributed to a prominent negro leader, that there would be only two Bryan tickets and no MohTielev ticket in North Carolina. this year at the election was probably intent' ed to mislead But ler and the Popolistt' at St. Louis. He thooght the negro knew better. Assistant District . Attorney D- A.

Mr. Covington in im pressed with-the belief that Watson and thereat of the- Democratic ticket will be victorious. ; REASON FOR WATSON. It Will Afford the Populists a Chance to Traffics: With the Democrats. Correspondence of the Observer. Washington, July 25. Now that the Populist masses the cantankerons journed and the public la made ac quainted with much that was done at St. Louis during the week, -a better view of the situation Is possible. But until It is known what effect on the Populist masses the canton rerons nomination of Watson Is going to have, it la difficult to write clearly on the probabilities. Among North Carolin ians who know Butler pretty well it is assumed of course that he shaped the Issue for his own ends. Going there as a man personally friendly to Bryan, his paper the week before having com plimented the Democratic nominee while making a fling at the nominee's party, tbe young and shrewd Senator became a sort of go-between of thei Bryan and anti-Bryan factions. The Middle-of the-Road fellows knew he was not quite of their kind, but they also knew he was not for swallowing Sewall. Butler managed the thing neatly so as to get a vote on Vice Pres ident first when a Southern Populist was nominated. If he had been four years older he might have plucked that fruit for himself. Here it has beert thought by some Democrats that he bad two purposes ,as usual purposes diametrically opposed one of which could be dropped if later on the other seemed most favorable for him. The ere first a trade with the Democrats nn Vice President. By nominating Sewall the Populists would swallow the whole Democratic programme. By nominating in his stead one of their own party they would be in a position to traffic. This meant either the with- irawal of Sewall. necessitating the uistitution of Watson on the Chicago ticket, or the withdrawal on the eve of the election of Watson on a pledge that he should have a cabinet position with possibly another cabinet place to pro to some other Populist. Included in this purpose also might be considered an arrangement about electors, in such i way as to give the Populists a show of strength in the electoral college. His other purpose, it is believed, but less now than before the final action of the convention, was the frittering away of the silver strength on two sets of Bryan electors in such a manner as to imperil the election of the Democratic ticket. If the Republicans in North Carolina and one or two other South ern States could be induced to support Populist electors it would render the choice by the people of Bryan and Sewall electors extremely difficult in all such States. But the exposure of this little scheme and the evident bent of the honest Populist mind toward Bryan would, it is thought, defeat any such macihnation. Hence it is believed that the Watson nomination was in tended chit-fly to give the Populists a personal stake in the election and to diminish the overwhelming ascendency in politics of the Democracy. Dr. E. P. Iewis, the young North Carolinian resident in this city who is assistant professor of physics In the University of California, left here to day, after a short vacation, to return to California by way of the Great Lakes and the Canadian Pacific Rail way. He recently declined a tempting offer to become professor, of physics in a Southern university. Arrivals: I'. J. Hackney, Rocky Mount; A. (. Ricoud, Wilmington; C. H. King and wife.

AT CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS Western State Want Gold Literature and Eaatern States Silver A South Carolina Bice Planter for McKinley. Washington, July 27. The demands for campaign literature at Republican and Democratic congressional head is unprecedented. Singularly enough the requests for sound money literature come largely from the doubtful Middle Western States, which the Democrats are confident of carrying. On the other hand the greatest interest is shown in silver literature in such of the Eastern States as are believed reliably Republi can. This is especially true of New York, Pennsylvania and the New Eng land Slates. Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, has been the only conspicuous caller at the Democratic headquarters durin-e the past week. At that time Senator Mitchell was undecided whether he would support the Chicago ticket or not. He is reported to have said that he was elected by gold Democrats and that he did not see how he could con sistently favor an economic policy con trary to their wishes. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, the chair man of the Democratic national com mittee, will return to Washington within a few days and this is inter preted at headquarters to mean that the visit will be made in pursuance of his purpose to establish himself here during the campaign. There is much gratification expressed at Republican headquarters at the re ceipt of a letter from Mr. Miles Hazard, an extensive rice planter, of George town, B. C , in which he takes strong ground against free coinage. Mr. Haz ard's letter closes in these words: "While free silver will increase the wealth of silver miners, and more money not suitable to the trade will be in circulation, it is not going to beneSi the rice plantersand suar planters who will still have to cope with foreign competition, which means rice and sugar made so cheap by cheap labor, that we catinoi cope with them For myself, 1 shall vote for Mj McKinley, as he represents soucd mt'uey and pro tection. We hive livtd mder it. pros pered under it. and know thai there is no experiment Free si'ver nd free trade do not suit our industry They cannot suit the Soutn The day is not distant when cotton planters will be forced to ask for protection from the increased annual shipment of cotton from Egypt and the factories from for midable competition that will arise from Japan and China. These branches of our Southern industries have not yet felt the blight, as we have, in coping with Japan's, China's and Egypt's cheap labor. Is it prudent for them to aid in keeping sound money and pro tection apart." C&BBIED TO BOSTON. The Sailor-Murderers of the Herbert Ful ler Ilroujcht Tnere From Halifax. Boston, Mass , July 27. The Plant line steamer Halifax, Captain Pye, from Prince Edward Island and Hali fax, arrived this morning, having among the passengers Mate Bram, Seaman Brown, Steward Spencer, Mr. Lester Monksand five seamen from the b&r kentine Herbert Fuller, which put into Halifax Tuesday withCapt. Nash, Mrs. Nash and Second Mate Bramberg mur dered. Officer Thomas Kline, of Hali fax, accompanied the prisoners and turned them over to Police Captain Cain, of Division 1, who, with 45 men, was at the wharf when the vessel ar rived, it being expected by the police that a large crowd would be present. There were many there, but there was no demonstration. Tbe prisoners were handcuffed, while Mr. Monks was allowed to go to his home. The prisoners were taken to Station 1, where they were booked and given breakfast, following which they were escorted by a seargent and a num ber of the United States Court, ar raigned arid held for further action. Lester Monks has returned at this time and was present with his father. Highest of all ia Leavening Power -Latest U. S. Govt Report "DR." KNOX ON the ROAD AGAIN APXRBB FKOH OHIaBUT BOCK.

Dear Mr. Editor I thought that I might write yon another one of them private epistleary documents what yon can publish if you wants to and if yon don't want to you can do anyhow. I don't spec you know'd I was twins, did you? Not them kind where there's two of you, but thm kind where you's double sorter like Dr. Gekil and Mr. Hide, only not so bad, and you's always both at the same once. One of me is down there in Charlotte now spostulatin to the people and demonstratin to the public that I'm a man of Immense mag nitude and huge ponderosity, ain't it so? Can't you-see? This one of me's up here just like last year only I ain't got so many spoon-fed youngsters to make me grow thin. We didn't ride up here on the train this time, but rode in a wagon and back when we didn't walk, what was a heap, and it don't do so ponderous fine to walk 18 miles in just one day when you's eai mor'n your share of sorgum lasses. I'm all right now though, and eat so many onions for dinner I guess the mules will spend most of the night with their tails to the tent and their heads so they'll catch the mountain , breezes as they effervest from the salu brious brows of the mountain tops and gallop on butterfly wings with lightning steps to the valley below where we has our extemporaneous domicilatory bou daw, as Mr. Banks would say. I done read what he writ in your paper about "tne sky blue coming down to kiss the sea blue" way out from the shore where nobody couldn't hardly see 'em. We stopped at Mr. Torrance's the Monday what we left Charlotte on and the next night I slept with Morpheus and the rest of the party at Tucker's camp grounds on this here Side of the river, that is, I slept when them niggers in the meeting didn't keep us wake. But they quit gettin' happy long toward sun up, then I slept till day-break when we had to get up. Me and the mu'es went dowu to the spring to get some water after I'd done got up good, and I seen a good cullud brother wi'h snow white w hiskers, (he didn't have nunc ceptin' on his lips and his bead), so 1 thought I'd find out what whs agoin' on in church last nigtn. so I accused him with "Beeates, mein herr." He sorter rolled his eyes around like the mule done kicked him and when they got around to me he says, sorter respectful like. "Goo 1 morning, sir " 'Feeling g ui," feays I ''No. 1 ain't feeling powerful," says he. 'What's the matter ''' ays I. "Gut a sorter headache and trie white spits," says he. "orry," says I. "Go to church last night?" "No sir, des updereby my honse and I hearin em but I didn't go." "Had a good time'.'" says I. "Yes, that what they pretends," says he. "Have meetin's often?" says I. "Yes sir." says he, "every night now, dey's holdiu' er tractable meetin' pit tin' ready for camp meetin'," and the old man went otF to stake his calf in a fresh plot of grass while me and the mules went back to camp. We spent Thursday aft Cleveland Springs acd Mr. Miller what bought the place and Mr. Eldridge what runs it (I don't mean that he run thesprings off nowhere, he just oils things up so the guests say "its smooth") shurely is men of homogenous hospitably and welcome. Them folks from New York and Boston and Philadelphia and Char lotte and the other larger cities says that things is fine now and they eats lots. I guess I could eat lots, too, but 1 never was expensive in my living so when I stays at sulphur sprfng I just drinks lots of water when I gets up and then sits on a log and eats corn bread or buiscui t which, washed down with the sulphur water, puts me in mind of soft boiled or scrambled eggs with a 8ummensh accent. When I get back home I'm going to .start a fund for to educate the people in these here surrounding counties in they ways of truth and sobriety for they aint no two of 'em what'll tell you the same thing about how far it is to the creek or the river or the next town and sometimes the one what lives tbe furthest will tell you the closest and the one what lives the closest will tell you the furthest and you can't place no pendence in what folks say about the price of eggs or 16 to 1 free silver leaps and bounds when they'll lietoyourface about a public road.
