An apt illustration of this was the bargain made, ou last Saturday, with tho republican t'ouvenlioo ot Wake eonnty by Otbo Wilson, the self confessed tiidoonite, who is still chairman ot tho executive committee l the populists in that couuty.

In ac cordance with their bargain lbe ro publicau convention nominated its half of the ticket, and one ot the Legislative nominees is a rofured man. Yes.
