IftoVataaga Democrat
' 'S-. The Butler wing of the pop
ulints are indignant oyerthe
result us -well qh every other
honest citizen who believes in
free silver.
It is hard to predict at this
time the effect produced on
the populist party in the
state over t hi result bt I'ritch
nrd's "election. All know that
the populist party had it in
their power to elect a silver
Senator by 10-opmtting
with thdpinMTatK,' to this
-end the demorrat offered
their services in a ean'eaa, but
it. was not heeded by th( pop
Butlei caucus, and In conse
quence the democrats 'nomi
nated aud voted for Lieut.
Gov. Doughton, giving him
33 votes, Cy Thompson pop
ulist nominee gets 43 votes,
and Pritchard received 8a
votes, so Pritcnard r was e
lected, v Republicans, bolting
populists and negroes great
ly rejoice over this victory.
Senator Butler takes his d-
. feat sorely and sullenly and
immediately called a cane; t.
of the faithful pops, and is
sued aft address to,the pen-
. pie of the state denouncing
the republicans and holling
pops in the most Dittr terms
that language could employ.
So ends the fight.
There is a bill before the
legislature (o impeach Judge
Norwood for- drunkenness.
The provisions of the bill
ought to extend to members
of the -Legislature as well,
a lid the foul oaths uttered by
some of them should also be
"Considered. Some of our law
makers use horrid oaths and
get drunk besides.. Men who
are placed in high positions
-should be moral, sober men,
and have an influence f o r
good and not encourage by
their acts, the youths of the
land to follow in their wicked
foot-steps. A drunken Judge
is aq abomination to all
good people, and should nev
er be entrusted with the
.Jives and property of the cit
izens.' '
Bonks still fail; business
' iknw continue to go under,
ani business fails to revive;
times grow worst, Congress
if republican and is in sea
sion the second time under
Cleveland's administration;
McKinley and Hobart elect
ed, and Jeter C. Pritchard is
again United States Senator
and, notwithstandingall this
prosperity keeps itself hid.
What will be the result, arid
herecan we can we base any
.kope for the future? Not. in
the action of Congress in rai
sing the tariff, for this will
make times harder. The high
tr the tariff the higher the
goods, and no money with
which to buy them. Does any
jane man expect good times
to poor people in a high pro
tective tariff, and this is the
only change talked of.
- Congress is having some
sensations over the Nicira-
giacaaal bill now pending
in the Senate. Also in regard
to the ratification ot tue ar
bitration treaty, bet ween En
gland and the United States
effected by the two countries
I had a backset in the Senate,
and it seems doubtful now
hethef'this. treaty will be
f alined by the Senate until a
better understanding lV had
on several points, especially
on . the Nicaragua canal ui

ebipsed sincey l hfMittrtate to

that it passed off very quiet

The agony is over at Ral
eigh; Pritchard was reelected
Senator receiving 17 votes
from the so called populists.
IFe haveall along predicted
the election of Pritchard as
it was generally understood
that Hanna was furnishing
the boodle and it isnow ofien
ly charged that these immacii
late populist bolters received
their share of the boodle. Of
course it did not require a
big sum, the agents kept the
largest amount It is under
stood that the pops were a
cheap commodity . and' sold
out for much less than the
most sanguine expected.
