Congressman Turner, of Kansas,
was so anious to be elected Senator,
that he wrote Mr. McGrath, President
of the Alliance, 'saying that he had
no money to spend, but in the event
of his election he would "contribute"
5,000 to somebody. He put the
wrong initials on the address, and
the letter fell into the hands of an

A message was received from the
Governor calling attention to the neces
sity for immediate legislation in regard
to the oyster matter ; that he had re
ceived a letter which in his judgment
necessitated some action as soon as
practicable.
The following bill was taken up and
passed, being favorably reported : Bill
to empower Mecklenburg county to re
fund its indebtedness. Passed second
and third reading and ordered engrossed
and sent to the Senate.
farmers' alliance.
By consent, Mr. Hoi man's resolution
that our Senators and Representatives
be instructed to use all honorable means
to secure the financial reforms as set
forth in the platform of the Ocala Con
vention of the Farmers' Alliance.
Mr. Peebles asked if any gentleman
had the platform and would read it for
the benefit and information of the Houe.
Mr, Holman said he did not have it,
but it bore on financial reform, to enable
the farmers to get more money; that the
national banks would not take real estate
as security for money.
Mr. Watson said he did not under
stand the platform of Ocala, and he
hoped that it would be referred to some
proper committee so that the matter
could be thoroughly understood and in
telligently passed on.
Mr. Pritchard said it seeemed to be a
shot-gun policy. He sent to the Clerk's
desk and had the following provision
from the Ocala platform read:
"We demand the abolishment of na
tional banks. We demand that deposi
tories be had in the several States to
Joan money on crops," &c.
Mr. Pritchard, continuing, said that
it was impractical and visionary; that if
a warehouse was established in this city
after hauling from some distant county
he could make nothing by it. He hoped
he would not be compelled to vote on it
in its present form; that which interests
the farmer most is a good home market
that is the interest of the farmer. A
part I agree to and a part I do not think
practicable. Senator Vance says he is
going to obey the instructions of his
party but you must eliminate and des
ignate. How can he obey the instruc
tions as they now stand?
He spoke at length in regard to the
Alliance that he hoped it was non-political
but that he hoped if the Alliance
men were going to leave the Democrats
the would not try the Republican
policy.
Mr. Peebles said that ihey had tried
the Republican policy for thirty years
and that we got poorer and poorer; that
if he would point out the way perhaps
they might be induced to go with him,
if he could improve on the matter.
Mr. Pritchard said, yes; and we tried
your Wild Cat State Bank policy before
the war, and the State was almost bank
rupt, y
Mr. Skinner said he would agree with
the gentleman who wanted it referred
to some committee, as he expected to
address the House at length on the sub
ject; but though sick he would say some
words in reply to the member from
Madison. That it was the sharpest blade
that had ever entered the side of the
Republican party; that the resolu
tion did not bind Senator Vance
or other .Congressmen to any
plan, but that they wanted relief and
that they should formulate some bill on
the lines of the St. Louis and Ocala Con
vention. He could not be proud of any
legislation that pauperized his people )
he could not favor any system that could
let Liverpool and New York dictate the
market price of our produce. Believ
ing that the financial policy of the Alli
ance would accomplish this end. he ac
cepted it as Democratic principle. He
spoke at length on the subject. He
stated that the real object was to give
the producer the power to name the
price of his produce.
Mr. Henry said he did not know what
this would have to do with the election
of a Senator, as it seemed to be inferred
by some in the body; that he came here
instructed for Senator Vance. Suppose,
said he, that we would instruct the
Senator on some measure that he could
not support, and he would resign. He
felt bound to support him any way. He
moved that the resolution be submitted
to Senator Vance by a committee, and
see whether he would abide by it.
Mr. Adams said that he had seen the
Senator, and that he said he had no ob
jection to it.
Mr. Mann said he thought a man
criminally guilty if he voted for a meas
ure without knowing what he was voting
on. That he could not vote intelligent
ly on the measure. He hoped the
measure would be laid over, so that he
could vote intelligently.'
Mr. Wood said the matter had been
thoroughly canvassed in the State, and
that the people were thoroughly con
versant with it. He hoped the matter
would be taken up and passed at once.
That a resolution would be taken up in
Congress on this subject, he had been
informed, on the 12th inst., and that it
TAR
WHOLE NO. 7.575
was necessary that our Congressmen
should be instructed as to the will of the
people of the State.
Mr. McGill said it was the right of the
General Assembly as the represenatives
of the pepple to instruct their Senators
and Representatives; that it was no oppo
sition to Senator Vance that caused the
introduction of the resolution.
Mr. Watson said he saw no real ne
cessity for all this discussion.
Mr, Peebles said that this was as good
a time as any he thought for discussing
matters that must inevitably come up
before th body; that we were all going
to the saffie goal and let all join in Jiar
mony; that the gentleman said that the
banking bill would be called up on the
12th, but in his opinion it would be
J 1 e . . mi I
many a aay Deiore it passed, mat in
fidelity of bank officers was a great cause
of the misery to widows and orphans.
Let us give encouragement to the banks
that we could establish a good bank
ing system in our State. He blamed the
Republican party for all the misery that
we now suffered from. Let us not ask
Senator Vance to do anything that an
honorable man could not undertake. He
had all confidence in SenatorVance; that
he would do everyt hing for the relief of
his people.
Mr. Morton moved to make it a
special order for Tuebday next.
Mr. Sutton said Senator Vance had
already acknowledged the right of the
General Assembly to instruct; that he
was ready to vote on the question. His
county was for Vance, and also the
platform of the Farmers' Alliance, as set
forth by the Ocala Convention.
After further debate the amended
resolution of instruction passed the
House, as follows :
"Resolved, by the House of Represen
tatives, the Senate concurring. That the
senators ot the 5lst and 52d Congresses
of the United Staes be and are hereby
instructed, and our Representatives re
quested to vote for and to use all hon
orable means to secure the objects of
financial reform as contemplated in the
platform adopted at the Ocala meeting
of the National Farmers' Alliance, held
December, 1890."
A copy was ordered to be sent to our
Senators and Representatives in Con
giess. Bills passed the House exempting
Pitt, Greene, Lenoir and Jones counties
from the operations of the law regarding
the sale of loose cotton. Also, bill to
amend the charter of Trinity College.
There is no opposition to Senator
Vance.
The caucus is set for Monday night.
GEORGIA MINSTRELS.
To Play m "Wilmington Monday NiRht.
The Georgia Minstrels play here Mon
day night. The company is a capital
one and favorably commented upon
wherever it has appeared. The Repub
lican, of Denver, speaking of a recent
performance in that city, says:
The Opera House was packed to the
doors last night and the audience was
kept in the best of humor by the fine
singing, dancing and generally clever
work of Richards & Pringle's Georgia
Minstrel Company. The performance
they give is more original and better
than that of many more pretentious or
ganizations. The mattinee and this
evening's performance will doubtless be
largely attended.
