Lusk as the Committee. Senator Pritchard .who (had for some two hours been in the executive office, was brought to the hall of the house, which at. this time was packed al most to suffocation . At 1:35 Gov. Russell appeared followed by Congressman Skinner, and then Senator Pritchard between the escorting committee, i Lt. Gov. Reynolds said it was his pleasure to present Senator Prltchard, - All the time there was immense applause. Senator Pritchard said he was deeply grateful,' that the contest had taxed to the utmost his physical and mental powers; that "be wanted to say to the Populists friends who had stood by him in thra trying ordeal that they would never have occasion to regret what they: bad done." He saiji be stood where he did twoyears ago, and that so long as he led his party its banner should never be trailed in the dust. He would in the future, as in the past, keep ev ery pledge. This -victory means much for the Republican party in the JETIH C. PBITCIIAttI). nation. He insisted that with a protective tariff prosperity would return. The Democratic press had maligned him and. some individuals had tried to undermine himr but he declared he had no harsh feelings. Here a handsome boquet was hand ed htm and he extended his thanks for it. In conclusion he said, "In the future, as in the past, I will be true to the people. " He was loudly applauded. There 'were calls for Russell, and he spoke, saying he had not sup posed the joint' session would care to hear anyone save Pritchard. He said he was not one of those who be lieve the'senatorlal conflict between the two parties who have redeemed North Carolina, will be. in any way disastrous to those policies whioh the people of the State desire to carry out. Gev. Russell closed quite ab ruptly. There were shouts for Skinner and he spoke in response. He said the proceedings were not orderly,' that only Prltchard should be heard from; that each branch should after his acknowledgement, etc., retire to 1U chamber. Yet Skinner went on to speak, saying this had been a wonderful campaign; that he had done what be thought best for the populist cause and the cause of free coinage, ; He said the election of senator at this time really' meant nothing more than the election of an ordinary congressman: that It had been' unduly magnified;, that the senate committees bad been already reorganized by the republican party. How can a republican ; pledged to free silver hurt the populist party or the cause of free silver?, - He de clared those populists who voted tor Prltchard had done the best deed ever done for the populist party and the cause of humanity. He denied that it would disintegrate the popu list party; that the latter ought not to live unless it kept faith with its contracts. The fight on his part had been purely In populist interest and he wanted a legislative commit tee to examine his actions and his motives; - that Pritohard was vn under ': no obligation - to ' him, but that he (Skinner), was simply paying a dept due the republican party ., Ho said the re publicans ought to be given absolute power to- bring prosperity to the people, and if they did he would ap plaud them, but if they failed the republican party must go down as the Democratic party has gone down Then on theiuins, thepopulistparty win rise, tie satu tne man taken was1 from the republican party, a party considered inimical to popu lisism, but vet the populist party had bound him to its cause. He gaid if in 4 years protection did not bring prosperity Pritchard would talk out of the next repub lican national convention and carry North Carolina with him, as Teller did Colorado. ,.; At 1:55 the Senate returned to its chamber.

The height of stage realism is reached, especially in the great wreck scene, when the steamship is seen to break up and founder at sea, leaving its helpless passengers adrift on a slight raft on the ocean. The raft scene is, if any thing, even more startling than the former scene, showing the survi vors of the wreck, helpless at sea, finally culminating -in their rescue by a passing ship. Every piece of scenery is carried by the company . Poultry and Pet Stock Show. Mr. Frank E.

WASHincrroN, Jan. 18 It is said that President Cleveland during the past few weeks has transmitted to Major McKinley a copy of every state paper and official document concerning the business of the pres ent administration, which may be of value to the next administration. These Include copies of the treat ies with foreign countries which may not be concluded until after McKinley 's accession: correspond ence In regard to Cuban affairs, etc. It Is very rarely the case, however, that a retiring president shows this attention to his successor. Mr. Cleveland's course may be due to thr unusual complications now ex isting In regard to the diplomatic relations of the government. 10 DEAL A DEATH BLOW To th liepublicau Party in this State. MR. BUTLER IS MAD. The Caucasian Says that Any Partv that Attempts Debauchery of Men and I ses them to Knife FrienJ Must Die- Aii extraordinary editorial will appear in this week's Caucasian. Opan defiance is made of the repub lican organization in this State, and Senator Butler's organ very plainly states that the Populists will re nounce their former allies in the event of Senator Pritchard 's elec tion. But what is more the bolting populists are rebuked in strongest terms and they are told that they must get into another party. The editoral is a most remarkable one at this time. We presentit with other extracts from the Caucasian. "It is time to speak plainly and to try to use such language as will carry the greatest emphasis. The only hope that the Pritchard com bine has of securing his election to the United States Senate is by the votes of the bolting Populists. If to secure his election, the Republicans shall co operate with that bolting element of the Populists, then the Republicans themselves will have ignored the regular Peoples Party organization which represents ihe great majority of the party. "Such a course will be irreconcil ably resented by the Peoples Party at large, and a co-operation of Re publicans and Populists will here- utter be impossible. If the Repuli cans think they can risk this condi tions, let them do it. If they can stand the consequences, we know there are others who can also. 'No threat is offered here. The Caucasian is not speaking its opin ion exclusively, but it is announcing the sentiment of the forty-four Peo ple's party members of the legisla ture, nearly the entire state organ ization, and the sentiment of the great mass of voters as it is being expressed through numbers of let ters, and through a number of an xious populists who have arrived here during the past three days to appeal to their brethren to stand by their party and their people." "But it is a warning we utter. The straight, honest and true popu lists now here have determined, by all the powers they can command, by all the energy they can exert, by all the inspiration that can come from a true adhearence of principle, to aim a death blow at any party that will resort to the debauchery of men and then use those men for the purpose of knifing those who have trusted them as friends. "As for those men who call them selves Populists and will allow themselves to be thus used, their condemnation and anathema will be severe enough from amonf their own people. "As for the Republicans who have used Farry Skinner as a tool for shaping this combine and carrying it to where it now stands, we have to say: 'If you permit the full con summation of the scheme, you do it at the peril of your party salvation; therefore, do it if vor dare! "Forty members of the Peoples' party caucus have officially approv ed the above editorial by a regular vote. The Caucasian defines its position in the following language: "The position of the Caucasian in the senatorial contest is that of standing by the people's party, and seeding to make known the senti ment and wishes of the voters of the party. If the majority of the popu list caucus had declared for Pritch ard, we would have stood by the majority, or we would have left the party. The paper says: "Senator Jeter C Pritchard and Congressman Harry Skinner are a beautiful pair of political acrobats." It is pointed out that Skinner op posed O. H. Dockery at the State convention and now supports Pritchard, a gold bug. "Name your roan," yelled Col. Skinner a few nights ago, just after he had said be would support a Pop ulist if the caucus nominated one. "Name "your man,' he screamed. The man is named, yet Col. Skinner cometh not to the scratch, "The truth Is, Col. Skinner was playing a double game. A part of , his plan was to fores the majority of the populists to atrcept a populist noiDtiH'c, (if it uunte one) ' named by the minority, and he thought be had thp minority , so well in hand that it would name him. His game has not worked out, aud he does not support the populist named. The case is clear, very clear."; ,- , NEW PHARMACISTS. .
