senting the Plant railway intent,
Hugh HcRar, of Wilmington, and
Geo. T. Barut-a, of Georgia, and A.
W. lawood, who looked after the

the relaiug of the road. Few mem
bers opposed the ninety-nine year

matam, and doubtlfss knew that the

vored the leavfcthat Gov. t'arr fav
ored it, and that the private stock
holders, in order to be assured of
th-dr dividends and release from tax
ation, favored it.

UUTLER'S CALL
FOR TH E FORMATION OF SIL
VER CLUBS IN N. C
A Soon Ah IWiltle He Will Call
a Convention.
Senator Marion Butler, member of
the nali-inal committee of the Memphis
silver convention, issues an address
to the voters of North Carolina, say
ing that whereas the Memphis conven
tion, composed of reprnseiita'lve men
of all partial who oppose the schemes
of the single gold standard
men, passed a rei'olation that a com.
inittee be appointed to correspond
with representatives and advocates uf
bi-metallism and the bi-metallie socie
ties in different sections of the anion
aud devise measures to advance the
cause of bi-uietallNm throughout ths
United States, therefore the commit
t e pissed resolutions instrarting the
member from each stale to at once or
ganize "honest money clubs." Sena
tor Butler says:
"I new sail for the organitation of
honest money clubs in every county
uf North Carolina. The vcheme of
.be single gold standard men is: First,
io prevent any lurther ooinage of sil
ver into legal tender dollars at the
. ailo of 10 to 1 aud to bring the coun
r to an absolute gdd basis. Seeund,
io have tLe silver dollars already
.-oiued rubbed uf their legal tender
power so as to be only token inoue ,
to be redeemed in gold. Third, o
destroy all silver certificates, treas
ury notes and greenbacks and to issue
aud fasten upon the country gold interest-bearing
bonds to the amount of
uioury and currency thus destroyed,
l'he coin bonds of the governmeLt al
ready issued will be made payable in
gold only. Fourth, to increase the
power of national banks by turning
over to theiruianagement and eoutrjl
the entire issue of paper currency to
be redeemed in gold.
"if the above infamous scheme suc
ceeds the hard times we now have will
be made twice as hard and the liberty
and prosperity of the American peo
ple will be sealed forever
"i he object of the olube will be to
bring together all men opposed to
this diabolical English plot and who
will light not only to the bitter end to
convent its consummation bat to re
store and maiutain an honest financial
system. The time has come when it
is the duty of every patriotic man of
every party to come together and fight
the Kuglish gold curse with the same
unity, zea' end determination that our
f orefathers fought and drove British
bayonets from American soil. 1 re
con.. neud i be a state convention of
clubs be called as soon as a sufficient
numoer are organized."

FUSION TO CONTINUE.
The Fusionlsts Intend to Cap
ture tne State
The Visitor asked treasurer W. H.
Worth the direct question "Will there
or will there not be a continuance of
fusion?" Mr. Worth replied, after
some moments' hesitation) "I know of
no disrupting element whatever; of
nothing whioh is to prevent a contin
uance of our relations." There is the
case In a nutshell.
There are the best of reasons for
the belief that the populist state com
mittee has agreed on fusion. Not
much stress is laid by local republi
cans on the statement that quite a
number of western North Carolina, re
publicans are in favor of a straight
ticket. What the republicans and
populists want Is to get absolute con
trol of the state. That is the object
at which they are aiming.
ANEWSKXSATIOX
RANSOM NO LONGER MINIS
TER TO MEXICO.
But it I Reasonably Surf the Pitm
dent Will Reappoint Him.
Hon Matt. W. Ransom of North
Carolina is no longer minister of the
Uniud States to Mexic o. That offlVe
waa practically d-cla'ed vacant yes
terday by a decision rendered by th
solicitor general of the United States
and acting attorney general. Ran
som'a incumbency was declared to be
contrary to the constitution, and the
acting attorney general sustained the
action of the auditor of the treasury
for the state department, in declining
to pass favorably op n Bansom's
voichers for salary and expenses.
l'he decision of the acting attorney
general was based oa a question
raised by auditor Holcomb as to the
legality of Ransom's appointment to
Mexican mission In view of the exist
ence of the section of the constitution
which deolaies that "no senator or
representative shall, during the time
for which he was elected, be appoint
ed to any civil office under tb au
thority of the United State which
shall havs been created, or the emolu
ments whereof ahall have been iu
oreased during such time." This
provision apparently filled the case of
Ransom for he waa nominated by
president Cleveland and confirmed by
the senate before hss term of office as
BenatoV'of North Carolina had ex
pired, and daring that term the salary
o the Mexican mission had been in
creased 5,000 a year.
Theconititational provision through
which Ransom has been deprived
of office does not bar him frein
being re-appointed to the Mexican
mission He could have been appoin
ted without violation of the law or con
stitution at any time after the hoar of
neon en March 4th, last, when hia
senatorial tern expired. It is believ
ed that president Cleveland will, npon
being officially notified of ths condi
tion of affaire, re-appoint Ransom te
the office whioh nearly every senator
united iu asking the president to do
last winter. He is technically a debtor
to the government for the amount of
salary he has drawn since assuming
bis diplomatic post. Whether or not he
voted In favor of the increase of the
salary is of no consequence; the fact
that he was a member of the senate
when it passed the diplomatic and
cousolar bill as stated operated
against him in holding in a legal man
ner any federal civil office " which
shall have been created, or the emol
uments whereof shall have been in
creased" daring the time for which he
was elected senator.
The Mayor's Court.
Mayor Russ sent Josepbas Daniels,

Henry Willis, also colored, waa

of Good Samaritans on South Salisbury
street. He was very rude and tried
to tear off her olothiug.

Ex-state democratic chairman Sim
mons says that the calling of a state
convention of free silver men would be
very bad policy so far as the demo.
cratB,here are concerned. He thinks
that such a convention would almost
certainly be dominated by .popu
lists, owing to the fact that they are
better organized and more thoroughly
aroused on the subject, and also to
the fact that many democrats would
not attend but prefer to await some
utterance from their party on the
matter. He ia 4 silver man.
