"You asked me what I j thought about the deal of last week between the Republicans and Populists," said Chairman Manly yesterday. I cannot say how leng the people will let the action pt the managers stand. It is believed that in the Populist party, there is a ' powerful element and a strong hand that will stop this sacrifice of their rights and repudiate such tradiog and trafficking of their votes, j I notice by the Pressi.Visitor of the 11th, an alleged interview with Mr, Holton, Republican chairman, in which they claim the State by 75,000 majority, and Bays further, that the Democratic party stole 30,000 votes last election Such boastful statements are ridiculous. Therels no basis on. which such calculations are made. The small majoritjr of fusion: of last year afV crds no such basis for such boastful statements, certainly. These state caea ts and charges of "i Republicans are either the idle vauntings of men who have a pocketful of Hanna'd money, or started for. a purpose. Look at the facts; 35.000 Demo crats who did not vote in the last State election will vote this - year. Of the 12,000 or 15,000 former Democrats who vo;ed tne fusion ticket in 1894, maoy have become disgusted with the tradiDg and sales now going on between their leaders and the Republicans over tne spoils of office, and the utter and flagrant abandonment of the cause of fijian cial reform. These men will this year vote the Democratic ticket. We will get out our fall vote, and with these accessions we will elect our ticker, State and National, by a safe majority. 4 Candidly, the only fears welU posted Democrats have abuut the result in this State is the success of well-Known schemes on the part of, the Republicans to debauch the bal lot boxi with the noney being sup plied and to be supplied by Mark Hanna and his syndicate of gold bug monopolies. But let our people understand the truth. The charge of Democratic fraud is false and made to divert the public mind from the e Republican fraudulent purposes and practices. A deep scheme seems now to be laid by Re publican politicians. The rankest frauds and most corrupt practices will be attempted by them 'and are now maturing. , 4 Look out for the votes of I negroes under an alias name, registering minors, and voting ex-convicta. In the registration they propose to do their deviltry. By such fraudulent methods the Republicans! hope to count 25,000 or 30,000 yotej. But they are sowing here they will never reap. The people of this 6, ate understand this. And I can say to our enemies, beware of trying the scheme. If such deviltry is attempted it will not be successful. The Democrats of North Carolina do not propose that a handfal'of white men shall so manipulate that part of the negro votes of which thej will have absolute control in this State as to debauch the ballot and cheat the white people of the State; out of their votes by offsetting them with false and counterfeit ballots. Dem- ocrata have never been more in ear- i nest. The rarty will cast this year mere votes than ever before in its history. . This statement is verified by information from every part of the State."

Editor Standard : If sentatives of a party can and shake hands with a repre coquette political enemy, would a private lose his po litical cast on election day by trads ing or voting to suit himself ? Simon. We think it probable that in no campaign since Simon has been a voter would he have asked this question, but in this one, the queso tion seems admissible, and we want the ability to clear his mind and our -own. But the stream cannot be pure without a pure fountain and we think we are in less danger of shame and confusion within ourselves if we stick closely to the lines marked out by the con ventions. We believe that the Democracy of Cabarrus has never been truer to herself than she has been this year. If any error was committed in the nominations, we think that error did not appear at the time and should not appear now. Let us elect every one of them and if not every one, just as. many ai wfi ffan. No one -probably deplores I more the action of our State Exec utlve Committee in proposing fu sion with another party than we, but the ticket i?, we think, far ahead of any other in the field apd thy are the men our representatives have named, Let us elect every one of them. As for our national ticket, no matter what may be our Views on tinn. we can t ffnrd McKinlevism. A moLetary w ' change might bring evil, McKinley ism has done it, or we are of blunt . - conceptions. The action of our executive com miffPP niAv bo viewed without alarm. Their powers are only recommendatory and they can take down no one whom the convention has put up. ' It is only by resigna tion that tne tickei can be inter fered with and we believe that dan ger not great. Nor do we believe that fusion is necessary. We believe that we can win this year from top to . v -, bottom with a full vote ana no trading or fusion. It not we would probably lose anyway, and as indi vidual voters it would be most com forting in triumph or defeat to feel that we'did not stoop to anything unmanly, even if we think repre sentative characters did We are glad to copy Mr. Manly's reply to questions on the situation. How anyone can calculate on a Re publican triumph in the State is hard for us to conceive unless by some game. We want only a full vote and the chance of Democracy must certainly be good. To get a full vote, let there be a readiness to yield to the persuasions of the ma jority and let there be an earnest pressure for the election of the whole ticket without a disposition to magnify what seems to be irregular ; ity in others.
