It is evident that this is the time of all times when it is necessary for the people of North CaroHna to realize the .fusiou that' will accomplish North Carolina which wi.'l cable us, in our next legislature, to earrv forward to perfection that system of reform in our State government which was so well begun by onr last legislature, ever remembering that if for once we should suffer ourselves caught in the political meshes of onr enemy, all we will receive as com pensation for our folly will be the of some poor canine and perhaps a fi:ikni-i.y WHISTLE from the political bosses bidding as follow at their will. We suggest to the presumptuous silverite, dictating Democrat, who has not nerve enough to desert the bis ad vice as to OUR action in relation to fusion comes in bad taste, and that advice is best for Populists when watched closest.
