Raleigh News, Friday.,! -
A News reporter was sent yester
day to feel the -Republican . pulse in
regard to the scandal on their Secre
tary of State, andjalso to get a correct
statement of all the facts connected
with the scandal. Meeting up with
a well-known Republican of undoubt
ed good standing with his party, and
who is always behind the 'scenes
wheneverany party ciphering is to
: be done, on the slate, the reporter
asked:. -

' Shall I then state that you haven't
a word to say."' V.'r

had become timid of newspaper no
