5 It 1 DAILY Vol. I. No. 8. RALEIGH, N. C, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1897. Cent COfj. D 1 Of IK i ui Symposium of Views In Regard to Senator Pritchard. EOF HIS ABILITY AND DEVOTION TO THE STATE UNQUESTIONED. Leading Populists Declare that Their Party Is In Honor Bound to Supporl Jeter C. Pritchard to Succeed Himself In the Senate. Yc-t onlay a Trxir nk railed representative of Tiik upon a number of lead- teg Iiuli?t3 in the c ity, including nu m bers of Use Lt gilature and others promi nent in tlie party, and r xuested them to je their views of Hon. Jeter. C Pritch ard personally, of his public ccrviC3 as a Senator, and their reasons why Populists ilouM support Lis candidacy. " Nearly all who were approached responded cheerfully and spake in the highest terms c f Senator Pritchard's public and private character, of his valuable services to the Ctatc and of hU unsevering fidelity to duty and his faithful observance of proni'sea. And this is what they said : M L. WOOD. Mr. M. .I Wood, Chairman of the Fopulist Executive Committee of Bertie county, k&.d : "I regard S-nator Pritchard as am8n cf unsullied character, highest honor tni integrity and of unquestioned tlility. Withont his influence co-oper-ttlon would never have been effected, end the Populist party would never Lr.ve attained to the power which it cow cr Joys. Two yers ago I wsi present z all the Populist -senatorial carcases, zzd the consensus of opinion at that time, not only among P.pulist meai- l:rs of the Legislature, but through cat the Stale, waa that if our lie ubli ca allies would concede to Senator Butler the long term, we would csour beat endeavors to the end that Je!er (J. Pritcbaid .kould succeed biniself in the Senate m lb97. That this was the zaderstandicg, tacit or otherwise, be tween the Populist and Republican rartie. is evidenctd by the large nnra I2i of Populists el'c ed to this session cf tha Leei'Uture by Republican votes. Cf all th- Populists in tne Legislature, caly one could have been elected with cut Re ublican votes. It is my opinion that evtry Popul:st member of thd lg Uature was elected with a d-stinct cuders'andingupon the part of the Rt rabljcHPS at let. that he wou d vote far Senator Pri chard to succeed hi m- cJf. Irty and individual honor de mind ihnt we should stand by the compact made two years ago." w. it HENRY. Mr. Walter R. Henry, a Ifad'Dg law yer of Charlotte, and one lf the fore most Populist, orators in North Caro Una, express-d hin-self as follows: I think that Senator Jeter C. Pri?cb .rd should be returned to his seat in the Senate. I know of no man in North CirolirH if higher or purer character, and I know of no public man who vrord I won'd foonfr believe His rocr rd in ti e Senate in behalf cf silver Lzd hi- promises since to the people in that regard bre, it teems to me, abso latelv ail that any PVpulist or supor'er cf silver ougrt to detnai d. 'It must be known and felt deep down in the hetrt of every PopuiiM that iLsiM the understanding, tacit or c'.herw?-.in lS04,that Senator Pntcr trd shocH succeed himself. To fail to elect hi'm is to jeopard z-. if not to de ttrcy, all hopes of a continuance of co operation in North Carolina. Not to have co operation means a return to power lu this tate Demcrncy that will of an intolerant crash Populist h end Republicans a ise. If we are ready to act lie psrt of political slaves under a dominant Democracy, then we should vote hcainst Senator Pritchard. If we rri&h to remain freemen, we should :tard ft r Pritcbard in this fight. Every prcminent Popul'st in my sec tlon of the State vitb whom Thave coLVersd in tie recent pa.t, tarntstly desires tLe ehction of Senator Pritch :rd. My opinion is. that the best pohcy Portil'Ms can .?iby puisue is to giv e tae Rpnbl'.CjiLS full power, ana iner hold them rfj-pocsible in 1900 if trej fail to rt-mnly the wrongs of the people. ItsetK-to nie that a failure to elect Ii'chard will bo a step towfild the Deruccr.itic party. No power on earth cm lehd me bck into that organ'z-itioD. The grandest motto on the banner of the P. pulist party i-: 'Equal rights to 11, ann hpcal privileges to rone. Lt t.j be jcit t us be cocseivative. Lt s ketpt"l,no faction of Ptpulistsha.sM !ght to denounce others for thinking 3r themselves. Populists should not ilk of blacklisting men because they ive the courage of their convictions. 'opulUts fchou'd not attempt to use HIGH m HONOR ie party lash on men who have had I mnhood enonrh to despise it in the hands of the Dvinrcracy. 'No faction -of Populit, majority or minority, has the rght fo prate itself on p-jiitical wisdom and virtue m the part v No man i3 too grvt to make a mis ake. Ixye made one at Gettysburg; N-ipoleon made oce at Waterloo. I feel that Pritchard's defeat would bring us a pa litiral Gettysburg or Waterloo in North Carolina." G. ID. KE3TLEB. Mr. E. Ei. Kestler, ex Treasurer of CibvrrUs county and a leading Populist e htor, sad: "I recaid oenator rritchaid as one of the mewt honorable men in the State. His word is cood as his bond. In all h"a public career he. baa never deserted hi? ciinse or his friends for any reason. and when he makes a promise he car riei it out. Even Mr." Butler admitted this in' a recent sptech. Ha is an hon est man which is the noblest work of Gol I know sharper politxians than Mr. Pritchfcri and slicker rope pullers nod wire workers, but as an upright, ?air and frpare man, I don't behevMhe hi3 a superior in the State. He is loved bv all who love honesty ia politica 1 fe. He is hated by all who live by trLkery and deception. We ought to to love him for the enemies he has mar?e. 'I am asked why I think Sea&tor Pritchard should be re elrctrd. Be cvjsh he is the. logic! candidate of the co cperationista of the State; because he is th choice of the majority of the peo- ule of the fctate: because he win more ably and more consistently represent the hopes, interest and welfare of tLe State; bt cause the Pcpuiist party is honor bound to re elect him: teau;e his services for the co operation move ment justly and deservedly entitle him to this honor, because he is from the Westarn p-ut of the State, and his com ptitor is from the East, which now has a Senator; because when the Populists elect him they are getting one whoe votes will parallel Populist votes on all leading issues; and if principles are what we want we are fretting them and the Republicans are getting the name; ba causa his election is necessary to insure future co operation, which Js necessary to preserve a government of, for snd bj tbejpeople; and lastly, because Sena tor Pritchard is a man of the people and as such cannot desert the'people in the interests of trusts and combines." E F. WAKEFIELD. St to Senator E. F. Wakefield, of Cald'.vtU county, representing the Thirty :"rst S-'uator'al Dis' net,' gave the following statement of his views: As a man, Jeter C. Pritchard has no superior and but few equals in North Cirolina. He is coble in bis disposi tion, honest, bold and aggressive in the advocacy of his pohcies. He is kind and sjmpathetic and the acknowledged friend of the common people, from whose ranks he has made his way to the front. He is a noble tvp9 of man hood, of whom every North Carolinian should be proud. As a Senator, he is dignifitd, wise and judicious, acd well informed on all the great questions now before the National Congress. H stands high in the estimation of hi fellow Senators of all parties, ard will be able, if xe elected, to wield a great ii.flaence in shaping legislation along the line of Financial Reform. 'The Populists should support Sen ator Pritchard for re election for many reasons.. Ia the first place, he has stood like a stone wall for the fiinan cial Reforms contemplated in the plat form of the P pulist party, and his'vote stands recorded with Senator ButleiV for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 "Ia the second place he stands at th head of the co operative movement be tween tbe Populists and Republicans ir North Carolina and its success is largtly due to his advocacy and direction. As a result of co operation the Populist have a United States Senator, fiv Congress m-n, over half of the Si- to c fficer.u. fifty eight members of the Geaer! As "'Oibly and half of the court office-s throughout the State; withont mention n:g the much needed legislation that has fooie to the people, as wen as tna1 which is yet to come. L. H. W BARKER. In eiving expression to his rfason. why Fopuiists should support Mr Mr Pritchard for re election, tstate senator R H. W. Barker, of Lincoln county, stiu : 'Populists shou'd support Mr. Pritchard because we believe in honesty in politics; because we believe it to the best interest of th People's party; since we beltve it is understood, and has bn for tbe last two years by our people. that the Republicans should have tbe uxt Unittd States Senator from North Cirolina. Another-reason is that from his ran record we believe Senator Pritchard to be a good silver man. sni we bave his present "declaration to b"ar us out in what we have saia. looking at it from a business stt d- pnint, we have five members of (Oo cress to the Republican's three, ard we hav one United. S ates Sera'or f-e cur-lv Republican support besides ha v tug 58 members of the Legislature who are here by Republican votes Another reason is that tae Populists in my dis trict are almost dailv writing me to' stand by tbe Republican ni nrnee There ere numerous other reasons which might be given. -'Siill another reason is that I believe it a good policy to ive the party in power complete control, so they will have no excuse for failure ir failure comes. Remember the Demo crats." L. A ABERNATHY. Representative L. A. Abernathy, of Lincoln county, when asked. for his views in regard to Senator Pritchard, responded as follows: "I have known Mr. PritchaTd two 3 ears. I regard him as an honorable rr.aa in everything that the words im ply, ard I would pkee entire col fiderce m anv statement or promise he might make. Hetas served the State with marked ability, and has r fleeted credit upon the p?ople Mho sent him to the Senate, l do cot th:nk that ?ha State has a better man" for the important po sition that he occupies. He i3 well ir.. formed in regard to all that concerns the welfare of the people, of the State, at d I bflieve tl at he truly represent their wither He has fulfilled every obligation toward tbe Popnnst party. "The roition cf Senator Pritchard on all public questions, as stated b? himseif, iustihe3 Populists, m givins him their cordial fccpport. Besides the Populist party to return h'm to the Senate. There is an implied under standing upen the part of the Populists that tte Sc-nator to be elected at this sesfcioa of the Ltilattird should be conceded to the Republicans. I have refeive(l msnr letters from fonnlists in my county, aud a number cf ei dorse ments containing long lists of Pupulist signatures, fcpprovifg my position in rfgrd to the Sen atoriil muter. "1 may add t a senator uutier m & speech before the Popu! si caucus, said that if Senator Pritchard made a premise he would kef p it.

Pfi'cherti. t4idonothesitatetosaythatthe Pop uhsts should vote for Senator Pntch a:d and thereby keep faith with their allies, the Republicans, and continu co-operation for the eocd of the Sitte and for future usefulness. 44In the third place. Populists should remember that the lex non scripta o- North Carolina demands that ore Sen ator come from the west. That tba! section of the State should have repre sentation in the Senate of the United States. Senator Pritchard beinc the choice oi the west, I believe Populistc should vote for him." HENRY HODGES. Mr. Henry Hodge?, member cf th Poptlist County Executive Committei of Rutherford county, said: 'I have known Jeter Pritchsid ever since he was a toy; that is, at leas? twenty five years. I regard him as the soul of honor. There is no questio about his ability. Although his fidelity to the Republican party is not to be doubted for a moment, it is neverthless true that he is in thorough accord with the Populist party in regard to tm leading measures of reform which we as Populists advocate. His services to the State as a Senator are of the high est order. He is the only Senator the State hf.8 htd since the war, who has properly represented the industrial in terests of the people. His course ha.- been such as to encourage i desirable northern people to stttle in. the Stat and invest their money in various en teronses to develop our natural re sources. Populists are bound to sup portSenstor Pritchard to carry out iu good laitn tne plan 01 co operation oe- m i m 1 tween the Populist ana JttepuDiican parties in the Stite." R A COBB. Mr. R. A. Cobb, 'Chairman of th- Populist District Committee of the E ghta Congressional District, who was the Populist candidate for L-euenan' Governor in 1892, expressed hiinstlf a.- follows: 'I regard Senator Pritchard as a man of honor. My long acquamtaica wih him convinces me of that fact, and all his record in the Senate co. firms thr .pmion. Consequently I am willing to n-k bim in tbe future. 4,As Chairman of the Populist part? of tbe Eighth Congressional District, I hve taken special paius to ascertain th sentiment of the rank and hie cf ;h true Populists in my D strict, aid I fiud that a large majority are desirous t. continUH co ( p-rat'on with our Kepno fri nis a it wis skar:td in 189. Every Populist in icy district who w.s f.tcau to the Legislature at the late. faction was vofed for with the distinct nnriHmiftntimrr mat co onerauon was m c utinue, that the Republicans were to hive the Senator, aid they Wff re ,il honor bound to support the nominee of the Republican c incus. Hon. J. C Pritchard has been unanimously en d rbed by h s pty, their constituents expect Uem to stand by rntchard ano vote for him. The Populist who fails to do this, no statement or explanation that he cm" make to his constituents will sathfv them, now or in the' future. 'I have received many letters, both befor-and since I came to Raleigh, from Populists in different parts of my d strict, and all are loud in their praisr . f Mr. E F Wakefield and jothers who ie pursuing a like course, stating tha this is enrrying out a bindiBg obliga t'on fcnd keeping faith with a party tht kf-nt evt-rv nledre thi?v have ever made with us Especially since Sena tor Pritchard has redeemed all hb p edges as a free silver man, and no tivs bis solemn obligation to be the friend to the white metal in the future that he has been in the pss. Toere is now bat one sentiment, tnd mat is, elect Pritcbard, continue oo operation and tave the State from tin domination of Democratic rule in the mture." $50,000 Fire.

Never Desert i Pritchard. TKREE CAUCUSES 10 LAST Kill CARR A PRIME FAVORITE WITH THE DEMOCRATS. TROUBLE IN THE POPULIST1 GflA in fir. Democrats Adjourn Without Nam Ing a Candidate Popu list: Forces Left Leaderiess The Election Today a Walk Over for Pritchard. Eighteen Populist support- ers of Senator Pritchard met . ' ' in caucus last night and re solved to stand by, him to the end of the fight. Every Republican will be in line at the roll call. There will be a majority for Pritchard, with votes to spare. When seen by a Tribune fepresenta tive last night, Col. Harry Skinner eaid: "You may say that there were eighteen Populists in the co-operation caucus They resolved that they would vote for Pritchard and support him unanimously, cordially and enthusiastically. ' j They were thoroughly in earnest. They will never waver nor laiter. jp urtneT man that he would not speak of the caucus. The Tribune man, however, was shown a list of names of the eighteen and. was assured that every one of them would be in his seat" today and vote for Pritchard For reasons that seemed good to thecau us leader, he w as not permitted to copy the list; but there were eighteen names on it and everv one of them was as true to Pritchard as the needle to the pole. NO NOMINATION BY DEMOCRATS. The Democrats held a caucus in the State Lib ary last night and remained in session until twelve o'clock, finally adjourning until half-past nine this morning without having decided upon anvthinsr except to wait and see if the I -J PoDulists would make common cause with them at the last hour. There was a continuous flow of oratory for three hours and a half, and it might have been prolonged indefinitely but for the necessity of r tiring to recuperate the physical force of the members for the contest today. The speakers were not careful to control their voices so as not to be heard beyond the.co -fines of the caucus chamber, but a number of them spoke with such force and fervor could they be heard d.'s.inctly at times from the sidewalk. The doors were guarded, but the approaches to the room were left open most of the time; so it was an easy matter for an outsider to keep informed in regard to t he pro ceedings. The momentous question before the i . m 1 1-V caucus was wneiner to enaorse ur. Thompson, the nominee of the Butler Populists, or to nominate a Democrat. When the caucus adjourned the question was undecided. The day after the Populists nominated Thompson, a Democratic member of the House received a telegram from one of his constituents which read as follows: i i m i . i Vote ana worn ior inompson in me caucus, lie win noi oe eieciea. i-jay politics. The Democrats will sustain you." But the caucus did not play poli tics Jast night. They postponed the di- version until this morning. Perhaps they will play; and again perhaps they will get down to serious business and nominate a candidate of their own. Le-duK Dc luoci atj fi.i thai they were tirtdof dailjjng with theP pulists. They had bf en waiting two weeks for a ceh nite proposition from the Populists; but were still wailing, with no prospect of coming to an understanding. The P p ulists, one speHker said, were withy washy, and did not know thtir own minds. He was in favcr of cominatiig a D-roocrat and voting for bim in tbe General Asmbly. There was a strong s-ntiment in the caucus favorable to nominating Col. J. S. Carr of Durham. At a late hour he responded to a request to enter the caucus ana mage a speecn. wnat ne said, however, did not leak through ihe brick wa!ls and heavy doors. It was understood, however, that he was will ing to accept the nomination, and that . l . i it u less an unuerstanaing wi;u une ropu lists should be' reached this morning he will be formally nominated for fcenator. CONSTERNATION IN THE LfP. About eleven o'clock last night State Auditor Ilal Ayer entered the Park Ho tel, displaying all the evidences of deep agitation. lie went up to Senator But ler's room and. acquainted the leader of Populism with the astounding fact that Dr. Thompson had. been advising his T friends to vote for Pritchard in the Leg islature today: Butler came down stairs hurriedly and met Dr. Thompson in t he lobby. A hasty colloquy endued which was evidently vcrv unsatisfactory to 3eaator Butler, who immediately '-.wen in .great haste to the cai i o where' tLe caucus of his followers was sitt in hat occurred there members of the caucus were very reticent about men tioning last-, night; but it was stated upon authority that could not be doubted, that Dr. I ompson s name was not with drawn as -the caucus nominee, but thai it was understood that tLe members of the caucus' would not considerthem selves bound to support him any further and would vote for Oliver IJ.'Dockerv !' . ' wuo was -sccona cnoice m tne caucus last Friday night. . .Thus totiay dawns with Pritcbard, tbe only candidate for Senator actually in the field. The Democrats have not the courage of rheir convictions to came a candidate of their own, and the Butler Popiili.-ts are virtually without a candi date. Senator f ritchard has a majority ot tbe members of the Legislature unre scrvedly committed to. his support and not all the powers of earth can defeat him. j A MURDEROUS NEGRO LYNCHED. Knocks Down and Leaves an Engineer for - Dead. Xew Orleans, La., Jan. 18 News reached here today of the lynching of a murdgrous nero highwayman' near White Castle, on the Texas and Pacific road, Saturday night. A plantation engineer named Beauvis went to White Castle Saturday night. Returning, home he walked along the railroad track. He overtook ap unknown negro and together they walked some distance, when suddenly the negro fel behind and knocked Beauvis down with a blow. He beat the engineer about the head and face until he appeared to be dead. . ueauvis lay unconscious lor some time but recovered senses sufficiently to 1 1 . .j , - T matte ms way 10 a nouse not rar away He had been robbed of a small sum of money and some valuables. The nes of the affair spread, and very soon the guilty negro was found and fully identi hed. He was placed m the lock up at White Castle, but at a late hour a mob took him out and hanged him. Beauvis was brought to this city for medical at tention ana win recover irom his severe injuries. WILD WITH DELIGHT. An Overflowing Mass Meeting Favoring the Independence of Cuba. Charleston, S.

Cincinnati, Ohio- Jan. 18 The First National Bank of Newport, Ky., did not open its doors this rnornmg. The news spread rapidly, and soon there was a crowd of excited depositors assembled in front of the bank, clamoring for an ex planation. The officials sent out word tat the bank was solvent, but had l een forced to close down for lack of ready money. Assurances were offered that no one would lose anything. The de pi sitors, however, refused to be satisfied. Ugly rumors found expression, and the excitement grew still greater when it be came known that Comptroller of Cur rency Eckels and a National Bank Ex miner of Washington were to be in Newport today. The capital stock of the bank is $200,000. John Trapp is Pres ident.: STANDARD SILVER DOLLARS. N6rth Carolinians Appointed to Office. Washington, P.

THE CAPITAL RE-Eik FORCE THE BELLIGERENTS ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE. Linney Says "I am for Pritchard, Always The Very Justice of His Cause Appeals Irresistibly to the Populists." ; Special to Tue TmncNK Washington, D. C, Jan. 18. The Washington cbrreHpoudeut of the Baltimore Sur, after talking with Demo cratic leaders here, prints an ir-toreeting story touching the Senatorial coi.teet in North Carolina. , "Under ordinary . conditions, I e paynr "with tbe fight between the Populisu. aud the Republicans, the Democrats, hold- ing the balance of power in the Legisla- . ture, would vote for the Populist candi date. This has been Senator Butler's ex pec'ation since he entered upon the wirk of forcing the election of his nominee. Eventf, however, have not favored the realization of his hopes. ' In the first place, the D mccrats, hav- ing made overtures to the Populists with a view to bringing about some agreement . regarding the Senatorship fight, which would result in the certain defeat of Mr. Pritchard and the election of a silver man . m nis steaa, were treated wun scant courtesy and informed that the Populists i -i i ' nr. ri.i- j'- .-:u out De nicer it: o assistance. V ' In addition to this, Mr. Thompson has made a bitter fight against the Democrats ' ever since his entrance into public life, and in the last campaign was oppoeed to fusion upon', the electoral ticket. This was without the sanction of Senator Buti ler, and he has, it is understood, appealed to the National. Democratic Committee to exeititd influence to induce the Demo-. crats to support a Populist for the ben- 2te. The -National Committee, it is un derstood, has heretofore refused to inter fere in the matter; and now that there is' some possibility that a Democrat may be elected, are likely to ad vise the Demo cratic members of the Legislature to nominate a candidate of their own. A prominent member of the National Committee said to night to a representa tive of the Sun that the National Com mittee had assumed a pas-Jive attitude with regnrd to the whole conU fit, but he admitted that they hope the develop merits of the next two days will make ihe ehction of a D:mocrat probable.
