Senator Butler contrules an sd"
itorial in this weeks Caucasian over

nor Ru ssell ' of having ractet double

Senator writes plainly i and the arti
cle is such as to necessarily call for a

The Editorial.
This remarkable article from the
pen of Senator Butle is a column
and a half long. In' says;
"When the Republican caucus was
refusing, or rather neglecting, from
day to day, to answer (he courteous,
but plain and direct . inquiry from
the People's party eaucus as to
whether or notthey intended to keep
and carry out in good faith their co
operative contract with our organi
zation, Governor Russell professed
to be extremely anxious that his
party should stand by its contract.
He assured every member of the
people's party caucus who went to
see him that not only good faith on
the part of the Republican caucus
demandel that they ; should keep
their contract with our organization,
but he also said that he considered
it absolutely necessary for this to be
done to insure the enactment of such
legislation as would set aside the
lease of the North Carolina railroad,
and effect other remedial legislation.
He also assured each member of our
caucus who went to, see him that he
would throw tbeWrrote weight of
his influence and administration to
that end. .X, f ' u
''But days passedvjn and still the
Republican caucus failed to give us
aSSWfriJMSk bytheicjcfluduct.
showed that they were purposely
delaying and dodging. "
'New, where was Governor Rus
sell's powerful influence during all
of this time? Did he ever appear
before a Republican caucus and
urge them to keep good faith, not
only in the interest of political
morals, but also in the interest of
important legislation, which he is on
record as favoring ? If not did he
even fend for any pmmiueut mem
bers of the Republican caucus and
urge upon them his views and de
sires ! it so, w iiat Decame oi tneir
efforts and influence?
While the republican caucus was
playing for time, and refusing to
even communicate its intentions or
desiies to our caucus in a courteous
manner, though frequently reques
ted to do so, and while the governor
was professing to throw all of his
weight and influence in favor of
keeping the contract and carrying
itout in good faith, two bills were
introduced into the house, which
may throw some light on the action
of the governor and the republican
caucus.
'One of these bills is to repeal
the charter of the Eastern Insane
Asylum, at Goldsboro, abolish all of
the offices that now exist, to create a'
new charter with new offices and
put into the hands of the governor
the power' to dictate; and fill all of
the offices of the same. The other
bill relates to the penitentiary, and
places into the hands of the gover
nor all of the positions of trust and
profit in that institution to be used,
no doubt, for tho purpose of reward
ing friends and punishing enemies.
"Why werethese bills-Introduced
while the republican caucus was
playing for time, and refusing to
give ns an answer? How did the
governor hope to pass these hills,
putting into his hands such a great
amount of patronage and power un
less the contract of co-operation be
tween the republican organization
and the peoples party organization
was kept in good faith, and the cau
cuses of the respective parties
should give their approval to the
billa?"
"We have been informed that the
governor held several conferences
with the bolters before them bills
were introduced, and he no doubt
got their approval of the same. Then
is it not clearly the purpose of the
governor, to secure the passage of
these bill by the votesof the repub
licaa ,' members of the .legislature,
aided And abetted by the. bolting
populistsf Is this the governor's
purpose? Is it possible that when
we thought he was appealing to his
party to stand by the contract, and
appealing to the bolters to at least
behave themselves, that be was in
reality entering into a deal with this
unholy combination to rush through
the general assembly these akd
other similar measures, and take
from our caucus any voice as to the
control or management of these and
other state institutions, and to place
into his hands the entire manage
ment and control of the same? It is
painful to us to be forced to believe
that the governor has acted double
in this matter, but the fact seems to
irarrent. the sickening conclusion.
h I'tCe understand that other similar
hills" have already been drawn ap
plying to the other state institutions,
and besides, that other bills are al
ready drawn to be introduced which
creates now offices at Wk salaries to
be paid by the tax-payers, and that
the appointment of these new offices
is to be placed in the hands of the
governor .
"We have always heard that the
Governor wasa man who loved pow
er, but it is shocking to think that a
man elevated to the exalted position
of Governor should be so blinded
with the love of power as to drive
him to methods so questionable, and
to an extent so shocking to the wel
fare and interest of the State,
"We understand that within the
last week the Governor has sent for
certain members of tlie Peoples
party caucus and tried to tempt
them to break their loyalty to their
party and its principles, tendering
them some of tho jobs that he ex
pects to be placed in his bands by
the vote of this unholy and infamous
combination. In fact we have heard
that it is the Governor's purpose to
have himself clothed with unlimited
power in defiance of and in violation
of the co-operative contract between
his party and ours, and then to use
his patronage and power, thus se
cured by such unjustifiable means,
to build up a ' Russell administra
tion party" in the State. In fact,
if the above is the true situ
ation, as we are forced unwillingly
to believe that it is, then the gover
nor has employed the help of the
bolters who have botrayed their
party, and the republicans who have
broken ther contract to clothe him
with the patronage and power to be
used in disrupting and destroying
the peoples party organization, if
enough members of our caucus can
be found to acceptthe ill-gotten gain
which he has to distribute.
"It is unnecessary to say that not
a single true populist in the egisla
ture or in the state will accept pat
ronage or favors coming from such
a deal. When the governor accepts
this power and patronapre at the
hands of the bolters and unholy
combine, he endorses their infamous
conduct, and insults the peoples
party organization. When he does
this, then in the future, his course
is in one direction and ours is in an
other. And if any populist accepts
any patronage or favors from the
governor in the face of these facts,
he will be willfully and knowingly
betraying his party and bartering
his principles to get the job, and
will be repudiated by the people,
just as they have repudiated and
branded the treachery and betrayal
of Skinner and the seventeen Mark
Hanna bolters. Let every populist
member of the legislature stand on
the floor in the house and senate and
denounce and brand these bills by
which the bolters hope to get their
booty, and by which the governor
jmd the republican machine hope to
demoralize and destroy tne people s
party at home. Be on your guard
and watch closely and keenly the
developments ntRaleigh for the next
few weeks.

"FUSION A FAILURE"
Says the Caucasian Every Populist Pa
per Against the Bolters.
The Caucasian this week says
that co-operation has proved a
failure. It says that the Populists
entered the fight last summer to
elect a populist Senator. In conclud
ing an editorial the paper says :
"So then, for all practical purpo
ses and in all essentials, the co-op
eration of populists and republicans
in this state has been i dismal and
disastrous failure. Only the con
temptible "pie hunters" see any
good in it.
"Now, then, cooperation with
democrats was a failure. Co opera
tion with republicans is a failure.
What next? More co-operation? If
the people can profit by experience.
If they shall have sense two and
four years from now, co-operation
will not be necessary .
"Every people's party paper in
North Carolina denounces Skinner
and the bolters who betrayed their
principles and the people to defeat
Dr. Thompson and to elect Pritch
ard to the senate. Kvery one of
our papers brand their treachery in
strong terms and defend and ap
prove the action of the peoples' party
caucus in branding the bolters and
expelling them from the party in
shame and disgrace. "
