' At tba sante time they want him to have the Judgeship. They do not Uitnk Ewart ean be confirmed, and a( the tame time" they think Senator Prttchard has done eanagh for Ewart. In fact, tbe general public little knowi bow much tbe Sena' tor "bat done for him. Ewart la bis cloae penonal friend. Republicans bote are saying that Kwart can have the clerkship at Aibevllle, which Is worth $3,000 a year, 8.50Ow tbe District and l.COO for the refill Court. A Repnblicso aaldV J'Seator Butler Is on tbe anxious bench, lie wants to know the outcome of this meeting we are holding here, lie realizes fully that he baa got himself in the same fix is which be bad Senator Pritohard two years ago. We republicans will not know Mr. Butler any more until he de clares himself, orer his own signature, on I be constitutional amendment. He must tell us squarely. If be is against, It, that Is tbe end of bim. I hare seen what he said by word of mouth, and we are watching him. It was at the Gover nor's reception last nlgbt. The Governor tried to work a shrewd game. He wanted to corral us, or to be thought to have d ne so." Republicans' says that a test cannot be imposed, aud that it will not be. They said they knew a lot of Republicans would vole for the amendment and that some Democrats in the west would vote against it. They Intimated that some DcimicraU In otlittr sections would also vote againxl It. One of tbe questions asked where the negro Republicans came in at the con ference. 801110 or them were here but ihey Were simply "not In It."- They miked about tbe conference, minimizing It. Revenue Collector Duncan was sharp lien he tried to make it appear that It was of people who had business with .Senator l'rilchurd and who caine here to save the time and expense of a trip to Marshall. Senator 1'iltcliard was quite reticent at to the matters in hand. He said that in two or three months, certainly before Congress met, the Republican State com mittee will have. a session here, to out lioe'thtf policy to he pursued next" year. At this meeting all the Republican lead ers will be present and will be consulted rell-lwih. x Republican talk drifts here and there, but always back to the one great ques tionthe constitutional amendment. It was really quite amusing to hear J. G. Grant, of (tondersonvtlle, say that In tbe ninth district, not a Republican Would vote for It, and when he was asked what was the ground" of dislike, be said that it was because It would result in taking away the vote of the old and good ne groes and leaving the franchise In tbe hands of the younger and troublesome ones.

Stale Treasurer Worth has gone to Greensboro to aid his son Hiram in turn ing over tbe North Carolina Railroad to Spencer B. Adama, the new secretary treasurer. Senator Prllchard was much inter viewed while here, and the rush of poli ticians to get a word with him was re markably great. He is easily the chief of his psrty In North Carolina. One paper declares that Pritchsrd does not want Judge Ewart's place, while another declares that he has his eye on Judge Slmontons place. Senator Butler has gone east. He would not talk any politics to newspaper men. He will, however, later on declare for the amendment This was again as serted today. An effort to get Populist 'Stale Chairman Thompson to give some political points failed.
