day says:,, r- -J. .;
' "Senator Butler, rbairaan of the
-. Populist Viational coromitttf, up to
noon today denied himself ;w all In-quirles.-
' ; J ';r ',' -"
. It was said by one of the attaches
5 'of the Populist committee tbamo far
as he knew. Mr, Watson's letter of
; acceptance of the Populist nornina
- Won for" Vioe-Preaident had not yet
been received' by Senator "Butler.
He could not say when 4t was prob
" x able that the document would make
, its appearance. - - -
telephone message from Senator
. .'Butler, who had remained ..at home
1 during the morning, stated that he
1 bad not heard from Mr. Watson, nor
had be received bis letter of accep
' tance, , -' '
.: The report from Kansas that Mr,
i Watson had notified the Secretary of
State to take his name off the Popu-
list electoral ticket was discussed to
' some extent at Populist headquar-
ters. No official news had been re--;
ceived that the report was true, but
' ' assuming that the facts were, as
. ' stated, it. was said Mr. Watson's ao
:. tion occasioned no Surprise. .' ;
f - J' You know," said the gentleman
speaking, "that the fusion in Kan
" ' sus made no provision, for. Watson
at all; that all the delegates are for
Bryan and Se wall. Of course, that
was not satisfactory to Watson, nor
.' did the Populist committee approve
. ' -: t; but after the terms had -been 1
agreed to it wa too late to make any
" change without endangering the
' vote of the State. " - '
- "Well will the' move of Mr. Wat-
' son's make any difference in .the re
sult?" was asked
"Oh, I think not," was the replyTiotalqueattOD..oVtook..Wed.
"Everybody interested in tlie mat
ter, or a very great porportion. at
least, will stand by the arrangement
already made and the fusion ticket. "
At Republican headquarters it is
asserted that the receipt of Mr. Wat
son's letter by , the People's party
committee here in Washington is not
a matter of doubt, inasmuch as it
can be substantiated by evidence
'supplied by postoffica registration
records. The belier is that the let
ter is being held back by the Popu
list committee with a view of secur.
ing some modification of its terms
before it is made public. , 1 ; "v
A n Augusta " special says It is
probable that the next forty e'U;h'
hours will furnish- some interesting
political news from Georgia. When
the fast train from Atlanta reached
Tl.oitison last nigbt. Mr. Watson's
car!; o was in waiting at the sfa-
1 'on. and three trciil'eiuen, . who
emerged from the train, entered the

As they entered the carriage they
were: accosted ; by a. representative
.of the Southern' Association Press,
but declared .there was absolutely
nothing '.for ; publication in 'x their1
visit. J They did not leave on the

morning.;f''sv.i:'Yj;.i-i.
s Tbe visitors ; and iMr's's'WateoB
both declined to speak-of the sub
ject of their conference,' butthevis
it 'loiiowing immediately upon the
proposition from tbe'Populists for
fusion in Georgia It was generally
surmised that this "was the topic of
discussion. , (
. Since their departure it has been
gathered, J a word here and and a
bint there, that the scope of the con.
ference covered a broader field than
Georgia's, fusion : and had in view
bringing h WatBon and Chairman
Joue8.-with possibly other members
of the national Democratic f ommit
tee', together la Atlanta, on Monday.
Mr. Watson when'queetioaed about
this rumor, said r ' (.-. : .
; "f'lf the gentlemen whocalled upon
me declined to say anything about
the purpose of their visits manifestly
it would be Improper for me to do
"If it is tru"e that you are going to

Snraber Mr. Iratteraon
' There is a slick scheme whiob has
gust been, brought to light "by which
the -ballot - box may be manipulated
and' fraud perpetrated at" the com
ing election. ' y . -v ' . ' 1
s It can be worked -by; two 'polli
holders, unless ' the 'third one Is a
pretty slick :duck ; .It is charged
that the Republicans will use"the
4oherae to Increase McKin ley's- vote
In this" .state.. -The charge emi
oates from well posted pojittcians in
this state and it was first discovered
by a well known lawyer. in vWash
Ington, D, V - ' . . ;
' As is known the new election law
provides "that there shall be two
ballot boxes And two, tickets.'. One
picket is to contain the names of the
candidates for electors and all state
officers, and the other is to.contaiu
the names of candidates for county
officers. If is , the, duty , of ' the
jucges of election-to 'see' that the
county ticket goes in the county box
and the State and Nati6nal ticket in
the other, i But it it so happens thai
a ballot should get in the wrong box
the jaw says It shall be presumed to
have been deposited there by mis
take of the officers of eleotion, and
unless , such 'presumption ' shall be
rebutted, the ballot shall be counted
.' Now the scheme is that an elector
shall- vote two National .and State
ticksts containing the names of the
McKinley electors,, instead of one
National and State ballot and one
county ballot as he should do One
of these National 'and State ballots
must of necessity be deposited in the
wrong box, but the law says it must
be counted, i A Republican and Pop-
ntist can work this scheme witb
great ease,- unless the Democrat is
watchful." " y; Z
-But wha.t of Banna's money? " v
It a stated , by well informed
gentlemen that nearly all 'the mouey
Hanna has given North Carolina is
to be spent in bribing Judges of
eleptiooi to work this scheme : !
i The Populists are charging that
the Democratsv will w6rk the same
scheme In the East with their county
tickets-. - - , '
.- The election is two weeks away
tomorrow. This week the State and
National tickets which are to be totr
ed election 'day will be printed. -
. The "Republicans have giyen an
order for 800,000 National and Statu
ballots. The printing of tfre Populist
ballots began today. The Democratic
ticket, State and National will be
printed this week and there will be
ait ample sufficiency. Alt of these
ballots wilt be printed in Raleigh.
' Chairman Ashley, o the Demo
cratioNatioual Executive Committee,
stated that he Palmer and Buckner
ballots are peing printed iu Oxford. -There
will be 200,000 of them.- i V .
"".The State and National, ticket in
cludes' the following nominees and
they are on one ballot:
The Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,"
Secretary .of Statef Auditor,
Treasurer, Superintendentof Public
Instruction, Attorney -General, mem
bers of Congress of their respective
districts, the Justices of the Supreme
Court, Judgesof the Superior Court,
Sol icitor,. and . Presidential electors.
All other nominees are .on the
county ticket. ' .t
-' Though the Republicans and Pop
ulists have fused on State officers,
their, ballots will be entirely sepa
rate and distinct, r TheRepublicang
will have McKinley electors otv tbeir
ticket and the Populists the Bryan
fusion electors. TheNational Dem
ocratic ballots will have the regular
nominees of the State Democracy In
addition, to the Palmer and Buckner
elects rs, - . ,
- Mr. -Robert O. Ittorson of the
Republican central committee who
has charge ot all .matters pertaining
to the couuties at Republican head
quarters, gave the information today
that ''nominations, of county officers
by Republicans had been made in
every county save New - Hanover,
Nash. .-' Pender, . Stanly, Alexander
and Clay. In most of those counties
fhere will likely' be fusion..; Mr,
Patterson said: "Fusion has been
arranged with Populists in 45
counties, and the Republicans .will
make a straight fight in about -15
other counties. ? The - Democrats
haven't complete fusion "' in any
county with the Populists, v They
have partial fusion in 8 orscountles.
The introduction of . the' negro su

LOST. THE ORIGINAL, '
Beg itrticm. Book la the Seeond Ward
r ' Kogera Explanation.:
; George T. Rogers, colored, the re
publican registrar in the second di
vision of the second ward lost the
registration book in that ward last
Friday. Rogers has told two dif
ferent'' tales about losing the book
and it is hardly possible to tell what
he has done with it ijl X 4 , :
Rogers did cot say a word, about
the disappearance of the book Satur
day i morning when 'registration
opened,' -but be used what .he now
claims was a duplicate copy of the
registration book, including the reg
istration of the first three days.
It was not until late Saturday
afternoon just ' before the time for
closing the registration that MrT J.
Tv Watts, the Democratic registrar
discovered that the book which , was
being used, was nottbe original one.
Then Rogers ' confessed that ' the
original was gone, claiming that he
had lost it -t ;
The matter was reported to Clerk
of the Court Young and upon learn
ing that the book had been : lost
while in Rogers hands,' he took his
appointment away? from .hlm".; Mr.
Young wil appoint a successor to
Rogers is the morning . fe
- Rogers has told several tales.. He
admitted to clerk of the court Young
that he had lost the book, but when
questioned by a P&igsVYismHt, re
porter said that he had not lost It
He claimed in bis statement to Mr.
Young that he obtained the registra
tion book from Mr. Britt, th chair'
man of the precinct to make a dupli
cate and that some one stole it out of
his barbershop where it was laying
on a shelf. 'W;v;-t :;rs
Hogers has failed to : explain why
he tried to deceive the registrars
by imposing 'a fraudulent book on
them. ' - ' &.y:'fy'y'jf$
This is a Democratic ward by sev
eral hundred. Clexk.vYoung says
that Mr. Watts has a duplicate .copy
of the origiual registration book and
a comparison of that -With Rogers'
duplicate will enable the registrars
to secure a complete list of those who
have registered.' Mr. Young ays
no one who has registered will be
deprived of the right to vote.
