? "' Tlie administration has spoken. - It will
..not support Bryan and Bewail." Who or
what it will support is bUII a problem to
- -be solved. President Cleveland and sever.
:: 'al members of his Cabinet are strongly in
&vor-of putting up a gold Democrutlc
ticket, and, Tar once, (he silver Democrats
are all wishing' that Mr. Cleveland may
have, his way. They believe, that . a "gold
fi Democratic ticket vpoold add largely to
's thifir chance ol winning in several ' close
state?, benunse it would be supported by
' : gold Democrats ., who would otherwise
vote for McKioloy and Hobart. . Itejftib-
. licans say they are Indifferent as to what
the gold Democrats may do,' but it is an
. open secret that;tliey arc pulling every
' available wire to prevent the putting up
of ano: her gold ticket.
The two conventions' which will tree
;:: At Si, Louis next week are nttractiing a
Breaf deal "of attention in Washington. It
is virtually willed tliat the silver conven
:, - tlon wiil endorse ihe Chicago platform
and ticket, as it was railed tor tho pur
ppae of taking Independent nfiliun only iu
disc neither or Ihe old parties adopted a
i:i silver plntform. When the Denocratic
iscnveiition ndnpted a stiver platform and
- nominated n silver ticket, it left Hit's for
- the silvir convention to do but to endorse
Hint ticket inidjjlatrariii.
WhiFj, it is reasonably certain that, the
U'oputibt convention.' will, cither ..endorse
Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago plat-.
';4orrn or nominate the E'irno nieu nn an
- .other platform, there is just enough doubt
about it to add interest to the convention
.nud ,,to attract, some of the shrewdest
poli icians In the ' country to St, Louis,
) for tho purpose of trying to influence the
action of the convention. ' The silver
Democrats will bo there to urge the do
'wraUlity iol uniting All who favor the
: free; coinage of silver ifj the support of
one ticket, and the gold men, both Re
publicans and Democrat?, will be there to
try to persuade the Populisfs that the
. -only way they' can keep; up r their party
. .organization is tp. nominate a;..tickeb : ot,
theu .ovrn. Of course both of these argil
. meats are based upon the sell interests of
. . those "who make tlicm, but then politics,
' liks most of the games in which mankind
engaged, is chuck full of selfishness
This is likely to be a queer campaign
(a. more ways ' than one According to
Senator Faulkner, chairman Ot tho Dem
oi r .tlo Congressional Campaign commit,
tee, the work pf that committee is . to be
both for sliver And gold, just as the Dear
; ocratic candidutes for Congress may
desire it to bo, Speaking m the subject,
Senator Faulkner said: ."Wo will take it
for granted that the Democrats or each
? district know what they are . about,' and
T we will not question their selection. ' It
will make no difference to us what the plat
form may be upon which the candidates are
selected."; In order that .there might be
no misunderstanding of his meaning, Seu-
, fttor Faulkner was asked if the committee
would furnish gold standard literature, if
It was asked for by a Democratic candidate
' 'for OongressMIIe replied: "If he asks Tor
auch' literature, and we have it, ho will
gct it
There is always iua to bo extracted out
t)f a political campaign . by those who
. know bow . to get at it .The, knowing
ones ate now laughing at the announce '
ment that Postmaster General Wilson's
. sound money views make it Impossible
(or him to accept a nomination to Con
gress from his old district.1 -That is ono
way ot putting It, bat, according to West
Virginia Democrats, It wasn't tho sound
money views of Mr. Wilson' which made
his nomination to t Congress impossible,
but the very pjononnced silver views tf 8
majority of the Democrats ia his old die-
'. trict. j,,; -, ,. V'.' yl ."" '
, The Populists generally regard the plat
form adopted by the Daroocratie omven'
tion and the nomination of PryaD at a
great triumph for their principle, and in
order to impress that idea upon .members

Among the things he taid when the

Raleigh, N. C, July 17. An ex
tremely important meeting of leading
Republicans and Populists is in progress
here tonight, to see what can be done
towards arranging for State fusion.
Thero is every reason to say that or-
rangaments will be perfected.
Republicans say all their people and a
nmjority of the rank and file ot the Popu
lists now are in favor of fusion.
Senators Butler and Pritchard are pres
ent. The former is the Populist State
chairman.

State Chairman Ilolton, Congressman
Richmond Pearson, Speaker Zeb Vance
Waist and other prominent Republicans,
as well as the State Treasurer Worth. S.
Otho Wilson and other leading Populists
are participating.
Great secrecy is observed as all say
they cannot give details ol their plaus.
There was at one time much feeling
against Senator Butler, and criticism of
him by Republicans bee use they thought
ho was about to desert them, and luse
with the Democrats.
But Congressman Ptarsou snys it ie
discovered that theso criticisms were un
warranted, as the repdrts regarding Butler
were undue.
Senator Butler declares positively thai
a Democrat will not be elected Governor
of North Carolina, tins year. ,
This of course means fusion.
Senator Piilchnrd says that his canvass
will begin August 20th, and he positively
declines to be interviewed.
