We have noticed in several of the State papers, statements of the cost of holding the elections under the new law, and will give a few instances of the comparative cost of holding them under the old Democratic law and the present; law. The cost of holding the elections in Mecklenburg is esti mated to reach $3,000.00 while the cost of holding under the old, law, would not exceed $200.00 The cost of serving notices on the board. of election in this county to the sheriff and clerk alone which must be paid by the county will not fall short of $50.00 and a rea sonable and fair estimate ot the cost to the county to hold this election -will not be less than $300, whereas under the old law it would not have exceeded $50. All coun ties are in the same condition, cost the tax-payers about 600 per cent more this year than it ever has done before. This is one sample of the last legislature's economy. We also have another sample of the Fred Douglas Legislature's protection of the tax-payers, in the letting of the public printing to theRepublican in Winston, in stead of the Democratic appli cant in Raleigh. The Raleigh cor respondant to the Charlotte Ob server says on the 18th mst. ; "A printer has declared that last year and this year the public printing - has cost the state $15,000 more than under the former contract, ---and that this does not include freight and express charges for shipping the matter from Raleigh to Winston and back as is neces sary." Here is another slice off of . the tax payers for the party pur poses, as the Democratic applicant , at Raleigh would have done the work just as satisfactorily as the Republican one in .Winston does and would have been a great deal more convenient. These are facts worthy of the tax payers attention. If Senator Butler is sincere in his fight against Senator Pritch ard and is backed up by the other Populist Chairman Accused of - all Sorts of Crlrm. . Tom Watson ha9 been rubbing more red pepper into the wounds of Senator Marion Butler. In his paper, (The Times), of November 18tb, he publishes his answer to Butler, and it is 'wit hout any ap pearance of conservatism. lb his reply, Mr. Watson says in part : "You did not daro to publish it (the first letter) because you felt its. arraignment of you to be unan swerable. Mr. Washburn's tele grams (to which I. was no party) did not control you then in not publishing the letter any more than they control you now in suppress ing it. "The truth is, Senator, you feel yourself to be a deeply guilty man as, indeed, you are. Instead of managing this great campaign in a spirit of broad patriotism and of courageous lovalty to your nomi nee and your p&rty, you have al lowed your personal ill-will toward me to divert you into a tortuous, narrow, jealous and disloyal policy which has shipwrecked thePeo pie's party and brought the suc cess of Mr. Brvan to a crisis of ex treme peril. "You now plead with me to pull you out of the hole. I ehall do nothing of the kind. You pecked your way into it, and now you must peck your w ay out. "Senator, you were selected as chairman to help me with this campaign. You were expected to act with me and for me. You have acted without me and you have acted against me. In noth ing have you consulted me. At no time have you told me of your plans or your purposes. "In all this you may be right and I may be wrong. The com mittee called off by you to one side at Chicago has sustained you and censured me. Therefore mv position is most painful. The Bryan-Sewall committee is against me, and the Bryan-Watson com mittee is against me. I stand alone. "But, Senator, I was a Populist while you were still camping with the Democrats and I have been a Middle-of-the-Road Populist,while you never have been. A fusionist you have always been and you bar gained with both Republicans and Democrats. "God only knows which bargain you intend to keep. "As for me, I turn from you and appeal to the real, true-hearted Populists. If I have sinned against principle and right in demanding tnat our party and its nominees and its creed be represented by the Democrats who had come to you for help, then I want party to say so and I will bow to its decree.

It is thought that two of the shots took effect in one of the fugitives, but with slight damage, as they were charged with No. 7 shot. They both escaped. Upon investigation it was found tho robbers had packed up- about $25 or $30 worth of goods on the counter, and as they ran had dropped a lot of things they had with them. .

However, Mr. Butler says m the Cau msian, 4 'Democrats will not be allowed to have anything to. do with the election of United States Senator, and they had just as well shut their miserable State dese crating mouths. That whatever is done, will be the proper thing." Thi.; is a gem of thought, and the expression 'is worthy of Senator Butler. , We are sorry we have sinned against his majesty. it is treason to be loyal to the Pop ulists ticket. It is unnecessary for me to say that my letter of ac ceptance must stand just as it is written. Yours, etc., . "Tnos. E. Watson." Congressman A. C. Shuford has at last educated his conscience up n to the same pitch of extravagance - and corruption that Hon. J. S. Henderson's was two years ago, when Mr. Shuford would hold him up to the people as being extrava-. gant and wasteful of their money, viz : by employing a clerk at a sal ary of $100. pet month to do the work he was paid to do. Now .Mr. Shuford says, "everybody elso does it, consequently, it is right." How does such reasoning sound from this parogon of political reform and economy? A. Strike in Richmond. Over one hundred ot the em ployees at the works of the Vir ginia and North Carolina Wheel Company, just below Richmond went on a stride Monday, Nov. 23 when noticed that a reduction of 10 per cent in their wages had been made. The management informed them that this had been made nec essary by the fact that the trust, with which the works are compet ing, had reduced its prices more than 20 per cent, in the paat week and that in order to meet these prices and. live the Virginia and North Carolina Wheel Company had to make a cut in wages. The men were, however, unwil ling to work for the reduced wages, and thev accordingly left the ahon quietly, though, and with the un-j derstanding that any of them who j desire to do so, and who present! themselves at the office by to-mor- day, g:ven tho alternative of go ing to jail or divulging the name of the party who gave him infor mation of an indictment having been brought in by the Circuit Court grand jury and published in the Times-Union. Mr. Clarksou went to jail rather than give the name of the man who gave him the information. Last Wednesday the grand jury brought in several in dictments, and among them was oue against J. D. Allen, indicted for manslaughter. Allen was con ductor of a street car, on which ex- Policeman Jccns was a passencer on April IStb, and who got into a row with some negroes on the car. In the row it is alleged that Jonas wa pushed off the car aud left to tight with the negrees, four in number, aud the row ended m Jonas being killed. Tne indictment was withheld from publication, but the mlorina- tion was received by Mr. Clarkson from B. II. Hopkins, toremau of the grand jury, and he published it. The court began an investiga tion and Mr. Clarksou was sum moned as ay?itnes3.
