From onr Secular Cirrespoadant.
The U"t Speaker of the
lmuo will Im Mr. Mil!s--Crip
- Mi-Mill in Springer-Ilati h,
just as cc 1 1 a in a tin caucus
meets next Saturday. As m
t r o p h e t with ii reputn

justify your correspondent in
dropping any portion of this
composite name. In plum
everyday talk, these five;en
tleinen and their frn'iids aie
on-a-eil in coniliietin-one of
the liveliest ami the most un
certain campaigns for Mio
Speakership ever kno.vji.
Each of thorn is npiiirently
confident of winning. It is
conceded hy the other candi
dates that Mills and Crisp
are well in the load, but they
contend that neither of them
can jret votes enough to get
nominated and that after
two or three ballot ts are ta
ken without result, there will
be a MtnmjM'de to other can
didates. Mr. ('lisp's friends
i i i
jokliv claim ins nomination
without fail on the (in st bal -
lot, while the adv n-ates of
Mr. Mills say that he will be
nominated on the second or
at the outside the third bal
lot. It is believed that more
than one hundred unpledged
Mieml'H rs have arrived within
the last forty-eight hours,
and that half as many more
will be here within the next
two days. Many of these
men are entirely new in Xa
tioruil politics, and a goodly
percentage of them are per
sonally unacquainted with a
single one of the candidates.
It is the votes of these new
men which will settle the
Sytiikership, and ut this wri
ting no mati can say with
any truthfulness how they
will vote, much will depend
upon the impression made
Upon them by theeandidates
and their friends, and there
is little doubt that some of
the candidates are being in
jured 'by fool-friends. The
caucus, which will probably
beheld next Saturday, will
include all of the Farmer?.'
Alliance men from the South
and perhaps some of those
from t he West, a It In nigh Jer
ry Simpson says none of the
Alliancemen will go into the
democratic caucus. 2 5
would be about the number
if there was a full attendance
but it is sate to deduct five
or six on account of absence
because of sickness or other
reasons, so ti nt it may be
set down as a reasonable
certainty that the man who
can get 115 votes will be
nominated.
The canvass for the minor
offices of the 1 louse is quite
as spirited as that for the
Speakership, and the number
of candidates is much great"
er, and not a few of them are
ex-Members of the House.

March the first 3S!)2, and I)e
cember (he first, 1894. It
seems to make all the differ
ence in the world when you
call a plain, every-day subsi
dy grab of government mon
ey "expediting our ocea n
mails." One of the greatest
national legislative scandals
ever brought to light in this
count ry was the exposure of
t he methods used to pass the
Pacific Mail Subsidy bill
through Congress a few years
ago, an exposure that drove
a number of republicans from
public life. Xow the same
thing has been accomplished
and if any one dares to pro
test that, he is charged with
being instigated by political
prejudice, and with trying to
prevent theextention jf our
foreign commerce. Odd, isn't
it?
It looks as though there
was to be a revival of the
trouble between Wana maker I
and Roosevelt, originated by
the puulic statement by the
latter that the former had
been guilty of carelessly han
dling the truth. (Jive them
room and let them fight it
out.
Messenger: Third Lieut 'li
mit Polk is back in Raleigh
and has not heard anything
of a third party. All was
lovely and serene in the In
dianapolis Alliaice Conven
tion. There was not a ripple
of discord. Xot a word has
said or heard of a third par
ty. Well Well! Just as we
thought. And yet how does
all this tally with the dis
patches from Indianapolis
sent out all over this great
country and were never con
tradicted. 'Very liken whale.'

fanning community. Xoth-
ing could tie more useful,
needful and becoming. But
what has happened.
Every intelligent pember
of the Alliance in Xorth Car
olina can answer that ques
tion. The Alliance has drift
ed away, and is now floating
on the storm-tossed great
political deep, ft has been
captured by self-seekers, ex
tremists and demagogues. It
is threatened with ruin in
many Southern States. It
not only is damaging itself,
but it is becoming a mere An
nex and Assistant of the rot
fen Radical party. This is
the case in Xorth Caroh'na so
far as those win favor a
Third party can make it so.
To split up the IVmocrnl ie
patty simply means in Xorth
Carolina to lose the State to
the white men and put Sam
bo and Cnffi-e in the saddle
with a few scallawags ami I
adventurers behind to pull 1
the sf rings, ln. the pipes and
obtain the whole loaves for
themselves. It means that
and nothing else.
Draw off 30,000 or 10.000
voters from the Democrats
and you bind Xorth Carolina
and till of its precious inter
ests fast in the iron shackles
of the unfaithful, incapable
and robber party that be
tween 1807 and' 1870 well
nigh ruined the credit and
interests of Xoith Carolina

It is generally conceded
that Mr. Sherman will be Ins

It is s a i d that Senator

The Exposition is a thing
of the past.. It will go inta
history. 'That, history will
depend ia a great degree up
on whafis written and said
of it now.
It has cost a vast amount
of money, incalculable brain
work and a strain upon those
intimately asociated with the
exposition.
That mistakes have been
made, which experience would
exclude from future manage
ment by tho'same parties, is
a fact: that the managers of
the exposition would be the
first to admit and foremost
to oorrect in fuluro occasions
of the kind. Xo one is infal
lible. It is only by a knowl
edge of the fact that we are
best calculated to conform
to the duniniids of tin? pres-
...
We think' we reflect thesen
timenls of this community
and that portion ( f our State
who have felt interest enough
in the exposition to have a
representation here, to de
clare the exposition a credit
able success.
In the language of one of
t!ie papers last Saturday,
Mi. Patrick's efforts "have
