It is probable that had not
Mr. Crisp been stricken down,
a democratic caucus would
have been held before this, at
which the general policy to
be pursued by the majority
of the House during the ses
sion would have been mapped
out a n d i- omo agreement
reached as to who should as

House on the floor, but it
has not been thought advis
able, to hold this caucus in
the absence ot Speaker Crisp.
While ft: is not probable 1 hat
Mr. Crisp will bo strong
enough to preside over the
House during this week, yet
he in already well enough to
confer with hw colleagues,
and the prediction is made
that ill cause of complaint
will shortly disappear and
that tho democratic majori

the deference which is accord

tlis intimacy with Senator

If one may judge from the
number of bill in trod need in
Congress on the subject, the
idea of electing the President
and Vice President and IT. S.
Senators by-dire it vote of
the people, iti growing in pop
x.larity. Some time ago there was
much talk in certain circles
of a third party and all that;
but we are glad to believe
that the sober judgment of
the reputable democrats in
every portion of the State is
decidedly against s u e h a
movement, and that thedem
ocratic party will remain sol
id in North Carolina as ofj
yore, stand beneath thedem
ocratic banner which thev
have so proudly borne toi
victory in the years passed.
It is needless to say that the
News and Observer rejoices
in the defeat of the third par
ty movement and believes
that the beat interests of our
people will be subserved by
their standing closely togeth
er and all lulling the same
way in the same boat. Let
thesviying 'T am a demo

work. Sometime since the!

a number of negroes went

trouble, were on hand with a

eerrvmander in the State of
Ohio. The first measure in
troduced into the Legislature
of thai State is a bill to so
gerrymander the districts as
! to secure for the Republicans
seventeen of the twenty-one
Congressmen. There are a
bout S.")0,0()0 voters in Ohio.
InlSS'Mhe Democrats car
ried the State by 10,000 plu
rality. Last. Xovember the
j Republicans carried it by o-
ver 20.Q00. It is a close state
always. Under a fair appor
tionment the Congressional
delegation would be nearly
evenly divided, with a slight
Republican advantage. Un
fortunately by gerrymander
ing the State in 1890, a
gainsi the 'World's' urgent
advice, the Democrats are
stopped fro m complaining
now. Put with Pres. Harri
son's horror of gerrymanders
as expressed in his message,
he might do something to se
cure fair play.
The Times says that "a
square tight and a fight to a
finish is on between the Har
rison and ITlaine leaders in
Philadelphia, and Plaine is
backed by an overwhelming
republican sentiment and by
a party machinery that could
win for him evon with popu
lar sentiment against him.
It issafe, therefore, to assume
that there will be a solid del
egation elected from thiscity
to the Minneapolis Conven
tion that will implicitly obey
the orders of Senator Qnay."
