- "North Carolina welcomes the cruiser
. Raleigh to her waters . and .congratulates

Bearing the name of the Illustrious gentle-
' man, patriot and sailor, whose colonists,
: the first of English descent, entered the
.; : waters of North Carolina.. We greet you
In the name of our capital city and State
with a thrice hearty welcome, '
Ewaa Cans, f
Governor.?
The signal corps on the Raleigh re-
eel red the message and waved back the
thanks and greetings of Captain Merrill
Miller and his gallant officers and crew.
The Wilmington landed at the wharf at
. Southport, and before the cables were
run oat and tied the Raleigh's steam
. launch and several boats from the cruiser
cam alongside, ' Governor Carr and
his party was taken on board the launch,
which was in command of Ensign-?. L.
' Cbadwick, a handsome and clever a gen
tleman as ever Went to sea, When the
steam launch reached the Raleigh the
cruiser's crew was called to quarters, the
officers In full dress uniform assembled
at the gangway, the marines - guard pa
raded In full dress uniform and four ruf
fles were sounded with the bugle and
drum as Governor Carr stepped over the
aide of the ship. Tliis was the official
ceremony observed in the navy when the
. governor ol a state comes aboard In his
own waters. . When the governor came
aboard he waa cordially . greeted by
Captain Miller and bis officers and was
escorted personally by the Caotain
to the poop, where the ceremony
of presenting the testimonial was to
take place. ' In the meantime, the
launch and boats brought great crowds
over from the Wilmington and from
Southport, who came to see the cruiser
and wrtne the ceremonies.
' The handsome gold lineal silver punch
bowl and silver ladle had been placed on
deck and was covered with the ship's col
ore. Around it assembled the Governor
and stalf, Captain Miller and his olfiuers
i and hundreds of people. At 1. p. ru
Governor Carr stepped forward snild sp
plauie, and addressing Captuin Miller,
mid: .
"It has be-n cmtomary foj tlie govern
mi nt to natnv its new ciuieora after the
-r:nciiml cities in the thirteen original
t ;uu n, and it is a matter ot pardonable
t i!o l Nonh Curodulnus to know that

Carolina would be confident that hci
record would be as unsullied in war.as in
peace. (Applause.) We welcome you
to our waters. Captam liiller, you have
my best wishes.' ' (Applause.) :
The Governor then introduced the Hon
S. A. Ashe, of Raleigh, who, be stated,
wonld deliver the testimonial in behalf of
the citizens of North Carolina.
'Captain Asbe, after speaking of the
pleasure it would give him to be the in
strument of making the presentation In
behalf of tlie good people of North Caro
lina, and of the high appreciation of the
people of the State and particularly of
the City of Raleigh, that the Goverment
bad complimented that city by naming
such a splendid cruisef after it, welcomed
the cruiser and the officers and the crew
to the waters of North Carolina, and h
concluded by expressing the interest
which tho : people of ' North Carolina
would always cheerish for the cruiser
Raleigh and for those connected with her,
and the earnest hope which they enter
tained that she would add lustre to
flag of our country, that her career woul
be one ot triumph in every conflict.and
that prosperity and felicity would ever
attend her and her officers and the men
who formed her crew.
Captain Miller replied briefly to Cap
tain Ashe, and when he stepped forward
be was greeted ' with enthusiastic ap
plause. The Captain thanked him lot
his words of welcome and his remarks so
full of historic interest, and said he wot
glad to be in North Carolina waters on
such an occasion. (Applause,) I con
gratulate you upon the fact that a ship ol
this size can come in to easily and salely
over your bar. .' (Enthusiastic applause.)
It shows that you ' have a magnificent
harbor, and it will increase the commeict
and add to the prosperity of your city as
well as be a neat benefit to the agncul
tural interests of your Stale. (Applause)
He was glad to say that North Carolina
was always a friend of the navy, and in
conclusion be thanked the citiaena (ol
North Carolina for the beautiful teatinio
oial which was before him. Be remarsjed
that it was a very appropriate gift (Laugh
ter and applause), and it seemed that I it
should be noUe some practical purpose,'!
as the governor of North Carolina used to
say to the governor of South Carolina:
(Laughter), . ; v
Captain Miller proposed three eaeere
and a tiger tor Governor Carr And the
citizens of North Carolina, and they were
given lustily by the officers and crew,
There are 263 men and 30 marines on
board the ship, and after three cheers and
a tiger had been given the men lustily
gave the following cry
"Rah! Bahl Rahl Who are we?
We are the sons of the new nav-e-e
Are we in ill Yea, ws are!
Baleigbt Raleigh!
Bah! Bah! Bahl" ,,
The bowl was then carried to the
loon, and Captain - Miller escorted tlie
governor and his party and a large num
bar of guests to the saloon, where the
bowl had quickly been supplied with de
lightful punch. The tables were supplied
with snowy linen and were spread with
a banquet that would : have done honor
to the best hostelries in America- It was
served by polite Japanese waiters, and
the ship's officers assisted in seeing that
their guests were bountifully and royally
served. During the banquet Dr. Mo-
Nellie," an eloquent and brilliant New
Enghvnder, was called for and responded
in an Interesting and good humored
speech that scintillated with wit. ' Then
followed a great social lime all over the
ship between the visitors and the cruiser's
officers. It was surely one of the most
delightful, enjoyable and successful occa
sions that have ever occurred in Cape
Fear waters.

Raleigh, N, C. October 15. The
Populist State Committee was in session
all night and until noon today, then
Chairman Ayer sent Chairman Manly a
letter saying, all negotiations for fusion
were ended.
Their reason for.tbe declination of the
Democratic proposition of Tuesday, for
State, Congressional and legislative fusion,
are given as follows.
First. When the Proposition for eUc
toral co-operation was submitted to oiu
Chairman, by your committee, August
1st, our committee, submitted a counter
proposition; looking to complete and
compact union of silver forces all a'ong
the line, but the said proposition wus ig
nored by jour committee. ,
Second. Should such a co-operation as
suggested and contemplated in yonr
proposition of October 13th, be fuvoiubly
considered by our committee at tins lime,
we are of the opinion that owing to tlie
short time before the 'election a t-atixl'ut-
to.y arrangement and alignments could
not be effected on either side, and there
fore would not receive cuch hearty mid
loyal support as would make success an
assured fict.
Third. We entertain no hope of bcinp
able to make you a proposition whi:h
would be acceptable to you, and at tin
same time be sustained by the lull fnrce
both the Democratic and 1'copleV
party, but we venture the suggestion
here, which if adopted by you, woulu
eliminate at least one of the dangen
which you declare is menacing the State,
namely, the election of a Republican for
Governor.
This suggestion is the voluntary with
drawal of your nominee lor Governor,
and concentration of the Democratic forces
on the nominee of tlie Peoples' jwity for
Governor.
We are vncouruged to make this sug
gestion by the following declaruliou in
the State Democratic platform : ' W u de
clare .our. belief that peace, prosperity unci
happiness of the people of North Caroli
na depends oo tlie defeat of the Kcpubu.
