Rai.eiqh, N. C. January 5. DemocraU
had a caucus tonight and it was turned
into a State conference, by the pres;-
enoe of Chninnnn Manly, E. J. Hale, A.
Avery. B. F. Aycock, F. M. Simmons,
Congressman Woodard, and other men
of prominence.
Cyrus Thompson arrived this after
noon, lie is tor fritcliaru and has co
ipcruted with Skinner along that line.
Pritchifrd's letter to Skinner elsewhere
eferred to, is dated at Washington Pee.
10th.
There are whispers that the Republi
cans may make a fight against John A
-hmms, Auditor-elect Ayer's chief clerk.
hecnuse Simms is an anti-Pritchard man
Aver, as is well known, has for some
nnnths favored Pritchard,
This explains some things which have
ippc:md in tho Caucasian.
Slcinnor says he has made bold moves
mt it was n time when boldness is le-
utied.
Tho Populist legislators favorable to
the re-election of Senator Pritchard can-
used this afternoon.
Congressman Harry Skinner reail the
following letter from Henator Pritchard:
'I appreciate your position on the Sena
on d question. It is in keeping with
your reputation of being square and
iecping facts. I do not attempt to in-
luence you. You know I am a staunch
friend of all reforms contemplated In
tho Populist movement, and you ms
insure such members of the legislature
is are inclined to vote for me that I will
voto for silver by international agree'
ment or independent action sixteen to
me and will take pleasure in voting to
amend the National Banking act so as to
Dermlt farmers to borrow money upon
and and staple crops. Any statement
that I have been or am now a single gold
ttaudard man is without foundation.
It is proper that I should be frank and
iay. I would not voto for free silver oi
inything else when simply introduced as
a rider or obstruction to the passago of
my protective tariff or other remedial
leuislation bill."
Congressman Skinner aaid to me to-
night: ''I regard Pritchard as' a, silvei
naa pure and simple, I regard this let
ter as perfect evidence of it. I would
not support him If it were not. In our
caucus this nfternum there w.'re twenty
nine votes for lii.il who will so vote In
fie caucus,' an l seventsaa wiul I live
voted for hi.u '.villio.it a caucus, if I said
so, lint if necesmy would elect him any
way. It was either Pritchard ormysdf
for Sen itor, bat I am not a c indidate
