It is an open secret that ButWir and Pritchard, whcfVere elected by a fusion legislaturc. are estranged, and free silver is the rock on which they have split Butler holding it high above all creeds and Pritchard subordinating it to Republican policy of a protective tariff. The Winston Republican, the. foremost Republican paper in the State, an apologist and defender of the last Fusion Legislature, in a leading editorial of -last week said: "Cleveland occupies the Presideucy to-day by the fusion of Populist-DemocYatic electoral votes of Kansas and four other Western States,, against the Re publican voice and vote of those States. It is this stubborn fact of history that makes electoral fusion of Republicans and Populists this year in North Carolina not only next'tc impossible but undesira ble and dangerous." Dr. Mott, unquestionably the ablest man the Republican party in North Carolina had in its ranks, has been elected Chairman of the National Executive Com mittee of the Free Silver party and having burnt all his bridges behind him, has issued at; address to the people of North Carolina - urging them, in ringing sentences, to forsake all other faiths and creeds and sentiments and flock under the inviting folds of the free silver banner. These things have all transpired in the camp of our friends the enemy, and does not much concern us as Democrats; yet our own camp isnot without its new developments, new depar tures and attractive sensations. The air is murky with rumors that there is a deal on hand between the silver Democrats and the Pop ulists by which they' all agree to support a silver candidate for President and to divide the offices .of State. The Hon. Ed. Compro mise Smith and the Hon. Robt. Buncombe Peebles seem to be the gaudy outriders of this new phan tom boom. They have been on to Washington to see Butler and Shu- . ford. and Strowd and Skinner and the whole layout of Populist con gressmen as to the details of thej trade. The Hon. Thomas Jeshuron Jar vis has written a letter calling on the silver rri.en to stand together. He wants a full attendance and an expression of opinion from the . dear people, and if he finds them as solid as he was in his Morgan-! ton speech he will want to lead the column!. In Morganton he ad vised that the people go to any party that would give them free silver. . The Hon. Marcellus Lucul'.us Reed and the Hon. Winding Loche Craig, from the Kane Kreek Koun try have written letters, demanding . a bolt, unless the national demo cratic convention declares for sil ver. All these self-appointed cus todians of democracy are standing ' sentinel and demanding in the language of the highwayman: "Stand and deliver or die." Have they all bowed the knee, to Baal and to Butler ? When the bid ship of State was in the trough of a troubled sea, Butler and his followers tried to get aboard and sink her; now they are invited into the State -rooms and are urged to man herto flag her and to steer her. Is this Democra " cy, or the "Bending of the pregnant hinges of the knee That thrift may follow fawning"? Reports come from Raleigh that Judge Clark is to be the guberna torial beneficiary ofthis new po litical firm, and that Hon. Ed. Compromise Smith is entered he has been entered before for At torney General; the Hon. Charles 'Martel Cook focSecretary of State and the Hon. Washington Hanni bal Worth, the present incumbent, for Slate Treasurer. We see nr. name mentioned for A-iditor, an! insist that the Hon Lucius Ouin tus Curtius Hilernarrt of Cabarrus, should have tliat place :tht is if they intend to make a lair divide The senatorial plum f.;!'s to Dr Molt. Apart tcm any considera tion of 'Office and office .seeking what has become of the grand old democratic party, in this State, that has ever stcjd, alike in de feat and victory, the champion of popular rights, of honest admis- , tration of public affairs and honest dollars? It reaiiy seems to us that those who stood with her in the days of her bondage and turmoil are themselves longing for .-the "leeks and onions" of Egypt. For a season her manhood and her in tegrity seem to have deserted her and the old ship seems to be drift ing without a guide, without a compass, without a charts What ever disasters may.awaithec" in the near future, we have an abiding faith in the returning' reason and loyalty of her crew that some where amid the fury of tfie storm, will be herd another "peace be still, and that again we shall see her return to her ancient moorings. TO THE RESCUE. Tne situation in North Carolina suggests Southy's beautiful story of the Spanish hero the Cid. The christian warriors, who had met with repeated disasters, were in their tents discussing the expe diency of making another assault on the seemingly impregnable stronghold of the Moors. Many thought the undertaking not only hazardous but fruitless, In the meantime the Cid had entered and took a lively interest in all that was suggested. Finally with the spirit of prophesy and victory up on him,- he cried, "Thank God, He has reserved for me the glory and privilege of doing this impossible thing. We will rout' the Moors and capture their stronghold to morrow.'! If thedernocrstic press and pol iticians, inspired by the zeal and spirit of the Cid, will bury their differences, and march in solid phalanx to the music of . demo cratic principles, under the waving of democratic banners, the fusion hosts will be routed and the State redeemed from those who would throttle and disrobe her. Is there no Cid in the North Carolina Dem ocracy? If there be none, let those, inspired with his zeal, stand for th.e right and the just, stand for Democracy pure and simple, dis daining compromise and bargain, and if at last we go down in de feat we will have the proud con-! sciousness of duty performed and will win the respect even of our enemies. " THE DOCTORS AGREE. The Democratic papers, in this Stale are much exercised over the strange things they say ate going on in the party and of the deals that are supposed to be maturing between certain self-constituted leaders and the promoters of the silver movement. There is 'at least the consolation to usaspartv men that the names pf our people mixed up in this scramble are those of men in every way entitled to be heard upon any subject of living interest. Judges Clark and McRae.Messrs.-Smith, Peebles, Reed, Craig and others are all men. with constituences behind them, are not new to questions of r'st importance and have traveled more or less extensively 'in legal nd literary fields. The troubles in the camp of the enemy are re ceiving solution through the press t the hands of such statesmen as the "Hon. John Baxter Eaves, of Chimney Rock; the Hon. Julius Barlow Fortune, of Golden Val ley; the Hon. Archibald Eeeles- ton Holton, of Yadkinville; the Hon. Edward Washington. Ward, the only one of his ticket left of election in Lincoln; and the Hon. Hiram UlyssesGrant, of Connect ticut. The contrast in physicians is pleasing, even if the physic be the same. THE HOPE FOR SILVER. Under the above heading the Raleigh News and' Observer in its issue of the 25th inst . has a lead ing editorial which, while it dis plays ability, deals in glittering generalities. Among other things U says: "The gold men in the party have no hope of success in the. November election, and yet they are anxious "to commit: the party to a policy that has shattered its fortunes in North Carolina." We should be glad to have some statement of fact to bear out this wild assertion. Does the JVews and Observer pretend to say that the gold 'men caused democratic disaster two years ago. The Netvs andObscever knows that the candi dates all over North Carolina from congressmen to constable yejled for silver with a loudness of voice that absolutely made the Populist ashamed of his plea in its defense; and '.yet, notwithstanding all . this and the "scandlus" majority against us, the News and Observer is emboldened to say "the gold men have shattered the fortunes of the democratic party in North Carolina. This is very thin; it won't bear a t bead. Very many' people think that the '-.News, and Observer has been a promiient fac. tor in shattering the fortunes of democracy. " Bill Nye, the great humorisf, is dead. He died at his mountain home, Buck Shoals, in Buncombe county, on the zSth inst. For years his pen has sent joy and sunshine to many hearts .and homes. His name was a sort of a household god in all the land, A loyal wife and loving children soothed his fevered brow and we trust that, in the still watches of his waiting, some heavenly visi tant whispered to his troubled soul peace be still," and that now he rests under the shade of the trees.

Dr. J. L. -M. Curry is charged with the d"uty of writing upon the cause that ltd to the war, showing how the South was justified in appeal .iug to arms. Geu. Evans, of Geor gta, write a civil ' history of the Southern States. The history of the parts taken by the troops of the varions States will be written by Bradley Johnson, of Maryland, Gen.

He especially urges veterans wh: have copies of reports of battles by the North Carolina Colonels or commanders of battalions or of de tached companies t6-set(t the originals or copies as soon H$i .pos sible to bun. He hopes thatilvery veteran in the State will '. feel at liberty to write or have written aud forwarded to him accounts of exhibitions of extraordinary cool uess and courage by private sol diers iu the ranks of any of our regiments. It is desirable aud almost indispensable that any ma terial which may be utilized iu the preparation of this history should) be sept to him before the last of April, as all of it must be copied aud arranged so that ready refer-j ence may be made to itiu the pre- j paratiou of the work. j Judge Avery was solicited to j write the history of North Caroliua ! by the Atlauta Publishing Compa ny at the instance of the officers of the United Veteran Association of North Carolina. Judge Avery is veiy anxious to borrow or have given to him for the use of the Historical Society any copies of newspapers, .pub lished during the war aud con taming coteiuporary accounts of the conduct of any portiou of Nprth Carolina's soldiers on any of the battles of the war from Beth el to Appomattox.
