'Mi faoUffie I Unless Minority is Invited .to! Return," SAYSfWHITENERf Butler Claims tat all tb Bolter ar not for Pritahard-What Sapraarata . tlv Hodgas Said to tha Popn Mat Senator. '- . ... Senator Prltchard's stock, , which has been thevorits v among - the plungers during the week, took an upward boufca today, after it had become known generally that nine teen members of the Populist caucus had "bodaciously " walked out To the man on, the ground as well as the man up a tree it looked like Pritchardin & easywolk.- But Senatoi Butler, with charac teristic persistence and tenacity, tells us that Pritchard is no nearer the goal today than he has been since the Senatorial fight began. Senator Butler said late this even ing that he was satisfied with the situation. The Populist caucus, that is of the majority, will be held this evening, Butler has a scheme on hand which he intends to explode when the caucus convenes and which it Is-predicted, will topple over sev eral Pritchard men. Senator Butler, it is said, thinks Ihe caucus last night was badly man fed. He is not in favor of gagging aly of the members. The Butler people express confidence that Pritchard cannot be elected. They base their hopes and statements upon facts which the public has not the advantage of. They say that of the nineteen bolters, a number of them will not support Senator Pritchard; that they went out of the caucus not because of the resolution in opposi tion to Senator Pritchard, but be cause they understood and thought that an attempt was being made to gag them. " 1 The idea is also advanced that had it been a Pritchard movement, the members would have endorsed him for Senator, but, on the contrary, they did nothing to commit them selves. One well known politician said this was an evidence of weaken ing for Pritchard . The minority members will not caucus until Monday nigbt. All of members who went out stated today that had not bolted the caucus. They say that they simply entered their protest against gag rule and cannot be called bolters. The tip was given out this even ing that a very influential populist who has taken no hand in the fight will come out aoainst Pritchard. Some say that Cy Thompson is the man. It was said today that a commit tee of Populists had waited on O. H. Dockery and assured him of their support. Lee R, Whitener, a populist and one of those who did'nt bolt said to day : Unless the members of our caucus who went out last night are invited backed at the meeting this evening and given assurance that the gau rule will not be applied to them in the future, there will be bigger bolt than ever, t am for Pritchard. " The Boltia- Last Night. Senator Butler and Harry Skinner were having quiet little chat last evening - with couple of quail on toast before them, when the Populist caucus was going to pieces. Some one told Senator Butler and he came up to the rotunda, where he spent half an hour talking to the herd.; Representative Hodges, one of the bolters, came out of the hall of the House of Representatives' when the minority caucus was In session. He passed directly in frontof But ler. The Senator, as soon as he cuight sight' of Mr. Hodges, said, "There Is a backslider, '' 'What was that you said," the representative spoke up. "I remarked that there went a backslider," the Senator said with an Innocent kind of an expression.. This fired the Populist represen tative. Pointing his finger at Butler HodgesWd:.in.:W?;''-'; ; "When I was a boy I did as a boy, but mow that I am a man I think and act for myself and "you norsany othet tnan shall boss me. ? Col. Hodges threw out. what tbe boys term,an artillery flrej "' I But about the bolt. '- Nineteen members of the Populist caucus which was in session in the Senate Chamber last nigbt, left the hall bodily. The following is the reso lution introduced by Senator Moye of Pitt, that brought about the bolt : "Whereas. Great anxiety exists abroad among tbe Populists who shall be Senator and the republicans are asking us to endorse Senator pritchard for that position, Resolved, That it Is the determi nation of this caucus . never to en dorse Senator Pritchard for the United States Senajte, a nunarea motions louoweu up 11 .. .. j . . ... the introduction of this resolution and great disorder prevailed. The Pritchard Populists said they could not get a beaxiog and left the Hall gofitjf 4v&' to ih&i bouse hlther they met and councilled for more than an hour. Those of tbe majority caucus con tinued in session and quite a num ber spoke. The sentiment was in favor of a republican for Senator, butno names were mentioned. There were 38 members leftin the majority caucus. oBofore ad journment the fol lowing resolution was passed : Resolved, That we inform the Re publican caucus of the action taken by the caucus tonight and that Sen ator Mitchell and Representative Johnson inform them. Senator Newsome, one of the bolt ers, said: It was not so much my opposition to the resolution against Senator Pritchard as it was to the gag rule that made me leave the caucus." Several Populist members were absent from the caucus on account of sickness. The minority claim that more than two of these will act with them. The statement prepared by the minority caucus for publication is presented herewith: "The following members of th 0 Senate and House of Representatives in conference assembled desire to say by resolution tSat we enter our solemn protest against the high handed method of gag rule perper- trated upon us by a majority of the populist caucus Friday night, the 8th instant, and after hav ing listened on out part with great patience to the views of the majority faction, according them one and two hours for each speaker without protest or murmering, when we asked to have time to discuss our side of the question, we wore unceremoninuslv told by the majority that we could not have but ten minutes each; that after we had appealed to the leaders and members of the majority faction to give us time for a free and fair discussion of the Senatorial question and time to hear from our constitu ents upon this important question, they absolutely refused to consider the question at any other time and so cut off the discussion by unfair filibustering tactic;. Therefore "Resolved, That we inform our brethren who compose the other faction, thafwhen they discuss the co-operation of this faction, they must assure us by resolution, that they are willing to accord to us a free and fair discussion at some fu ture time, to be agreed upon by both factions. Then and not 'until then will we consent to sit togeth er."

STATE DISPENSARY BILL. Measure to be Introduced in the Legis lature. Josh Widbee of Hertford county has In preparation a bill for a dis pensary in this state similar to that In South Carolina, with the objec tionable features of the South Caro lina plan "eliminated. There are strong advocates here of the dispensary. In case the above bill falls, a county bill will be intro duced. Franklin county hasaspecial committee to advocate such a bill. Just what the objectionable features of the South Carolina law are is not stated.
