' Wilson, N. C.
There is in North Carolina
two parties- who claim to stand
on a free silver platform the
Populist and Democratic.
During the campaign just pas
sed botlj of these parties have
repeatedly avowed their, alle
giance to this policy. But as
the battle waxed warmer the
Populists entered into agree
ments which may force them
to renounce their alliances
with the free coinage of silver
policy. The agreement by
which they are bound to sup
port the caucus nominee of the
Republican policy for Senator
is soon to be tested. It lies
with the Populist party alone
for they hold the balance of
power to decide whethe Jeter
Pritchard shall succeed himself
or whether we will send to
Washington a man pleged to
the cause of silver. During
the entire campaign many of
the Populist candidates have
either openly declared them
selves for silver or have 1 given
out to their friends that they
would not support a gold man
to succeed -Jeter Pritchard in
the Senate. ; The time is soon
to come wrhen this question
will have a final decision.
Our representative has a
vote on this question. It will
be remembered on various oc -casions
during the Democrat
ic canvas that the opponent of
the representative-elect asked
whether or no he was, for sil
and the rankest Populist an
'swered that he would not sup
port a gold man for the Senr
ate. From this it would ap
pear that he got the votes of
many of the Populists because
he was for silver. This being
considered we feel sure in say
ing that our district will get a
silver vote for Senator.
It was rumored around Wil
son and something lias been
since the result was known
that there would be an effort
made" to change the charter of
our town. The. 'purpose it
seems to.be to include the ne
gro settlement on the lower
side of the railroad. ! It is
thought that such action would
put our county government in
" the hands of the fusion ele
ment. ' To , an v. one who will for a
town government into the
hands of an element who have
not the interest of the town at
at heart. A great many things
have been said which will not
be put into execution. A man
who considers' soberly th e we 1 -fare,
of his fellow citizens will'
not do a thing which will prove
a menance to their welfare.
Let us look on the bright side,
instead of imputing to those
who have wgn every , debased
motive possible.
Tiie battle of standards is
over. The issue of bimetal
lism has been submitted to the
people and they have decided
for gold monometallism. There
fougut on one side of this bat
tle the independent common
people and the classes with
that element ' over which they
hold almost complete sway.
The forces of that party which
will eventually force a recogni
tion have been for the present
overcome. Their resources
were not able to cope with the
combined wealth of the mon
eyed men of the United States.
But the battle is not yet over.
The champion of the people's
cause, William J. Bryan, has
gone down before the forces
against him, but not in defeat.
His effort and his success has
been almost phenominal.
Never before in the history of
our country has there been
such a struggle. On one side
we have a man who sets bv his
I own firesidean makes speeches
,.-.1 r i
to tne collections ot Humanity
sent to him by a machine,
while on the other we have a
man who for two months has
left home and everything dear
to him in order that he might
go over almost the entire
United States and teach the
people that doctrine which he
thinks to be the salvation ofj
our country. 1 The decision in
the present contest is not final.
Our forces in the words of our
champion are not vanquished
but overcome.
The people of the United
States have been promised
from the present administra
tion prosperity. Should the
policy- pursued bring us the
continual prosperity promised
all is well. If this is not the
case the policy will be repudi
ated at the next polling time.'
It is the duty of-everv Ameri
can, citizen to study cfosely the
outcome of the pnesenfadmin-
lstration in order that he may
cast his vote on the side of his
own welfare at the next time
Onr Congressional Representation.
Our representation in Congress for
the next two years .will be almost all
Populists andj Republicans. -The race
in the first "districV between Lucas and
Skinner was close, but the tables
turned in lavr of Skinner, Populist.
The second district, known as the
black district, has representative

election.
The time betveen his letter and
election was not long enough to
spread the nejvs over the district.
The result vvas that many of the
Populists voted for Moss, thus allow
in 2 White to e elected by the solid
negro vote. j :
In the third district Fowler, Popu
lism is elected.! Mr. Fowler is irom
bampson county and was the fusion
ntState Senator from that district in
the last legislature. The fourth dis
trict is also safe: for Populism, Stroud
being elected $ver Pou by between
2,000 and 3,003. Stroud is the man
who has promiled to support a. gold
speaker this was ignored, the battle
cry was "Beat the Democrats," and
not to elect free! silver men. In the
fifth district Thos Settle, Republican,
went down before Kitchen, Demo
crat. The campaign in this district
has been a memorable one. Kitchen
has outclassed Settle in every strug
gle and the returns show that the
people have seen and ' used tne ad
vice given by this young champion,
of our cause. -It Tras here two years
ago that rhe Populist vote was siae
tracked on a decoy.. This same game
was played during this campaign but
with little success. v '.
In the Eighth and Ninth districts
the Republicans hold the fort. Lin
ney is elected the Eighth and Pear
son in the Ninth.
The reeult stands then five Popu
lists ; the Democrats one and the
Republicans three.
payers they are transformed into a
a source of revenue to the.State..
The proposition that has been
made by the Goldsboro syndicate is r
very favorable one to the State and I
am in favor of accepting it. It has al
ways been my policy'to lease these
roads whenever' it could be done to
advantage.' ;
It will be rerrtembered that during
the month ;pf September the questoin
of leasing this property was ' agitat
ed. I then went p Gov. Carr 'asked
him about it. He said' that nothing
would be done - at that time, as. many
of the most '.prominent men of the
State thought that it was not the' time
to dispose of the matter, as the ques
tion might enter, the campaign,, and
he had no desire to f urther complicate
matters. The same syndicate that
. now proposes to lease the road was a
bidder for it at that time. -
The State owns two- thirds of the
stock in this road but Gov. Carr says
he will make no disposition of the
property without first .consulting the
interests of private.' stockholders.

Question. . ; " .
1 asked Governor Carr yesterday
abut the terms of the proposed lease
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad. He said he could not
make them public at this time, but he
could say this "much. That- the
proposition to lease the road was
made by a syndicate of Goldsboro
capitalists, headed by Mr. A. Weil, a
prominent business man there and
brother of Mr. Sol Weil formerly of
Wlmington, now of New York.
"1 am in favor of the policy of leas
ing the railroads owned by the State
for the simple reason," he added,
"that it takes them out of pplttics and
puts them on the same footing as are
other business enterprises of the State.
Under this policy they will be worth
something to the State. From a po

Thee is in Wilson, as- in every
other town, a percentage of the peo
ple who will always attend a game of
either base ball or foot ball. In all
of our towns of any size are parks lor
this purpose. These parks are us'u-
ally at. some place which can not well j
be used otherwise. The owners ; of
these parks get so much rent for every
game, which during the sporting sea
son amounts to. aneat little sum. . In
this way a piece of ground, which be
fore payed no rent is made to yield
a considerable rate of interest. Would
it not be a good investment forthose
who own the ground which is now
used as an athletic field to fence it in j
and thus make profitab'le what now j
brings no return whatever ? For a !
