In an swer to the question as to the likeli hood of the continuance of fusion, he said: "There will undoubtedly, be co operation by the Populist and Re publican parties in 1890. The rank and file of Doth parties favor ii all over the State." Do you think it wiJl be success ful ? l don't see how we could lose the Stato. The Republicans will havo their distinctive organization and the Populist3 will have thei-r5', and the two will co-operate on the same plan as before. " "i you think that any possible blunders by tee last Legislature will have tho effect to lessen the chanaes for success ?" "I think, when the Fmoke of the battlo clears away, the people of the State will be well satis :ied with what the Legislature did, and en dorse it by an overwhelming vote." . "Who will the North Carolina Re publicans be for for President next rear?" "It is hard for me to answer. I am for McKialey. I find a sentiment in tie State for Eoed, HarriEon and and McKinloy. I believe the ml ierest3 of the Republican party in Sonlh demcnd" the nomination of the last name. In the "western part of the Stats tho sentiment is over whGlmingly in favor of him. The reason I advocate him is because I think protection will be one of the leading issues in the nejt campaign and I regard him as tho ablest ex ponent of that policy." Senator Pritchard through mis representation of the McKinley law had caused the defeat of the Re publican party in 1892, and said "Every single victory we have won since 18D2 has been won by a com parison of the condition of the condition of the country under the Mcliinley la w with the condition of affairs that has existed since the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland end the threatened legislation in regard to tho tariff and passage of the Tilsonlaw." "What will be the position of the party in this State on silver ?" "The Republican party in this State will, in my judgement, favor biwmotalism." Asked if Gov. McKinley had not lately declared himself for a gold standard, Mr. Pritchard said: "1 feel satisfied that the reports sent out to the tffoct that Gov. McKinley had declared his inten tion to desert the Republican party in the event that a free coin age plank was inserted in our platform, are without any foundas ation- I am not prepared to say what his views will be in regard to silver.
