WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington, D. C-, Sept.,
Senator of West
chairman of the Democrat-
Congressional campaign com-
who is almost constantly
at the committee headquarters,
smiles significantly every time
his attention is called to a new
version of the dissension which
the Republican newspaper
respondents profess to have dis-
covered in the committee- He
says that those for whose benefit
the committee exists have the
best of reasons for knowing that
there is no dissension, and that
it will be beneficial rather than
otherwise to the Democratic party
if e correspondents can con-
the Republican managers
that the committee is not in a
condition to render effective
vice to the Democratic candidates.
As a matter of fact, all of these
dissension fairy tales are based
upon a misapprehension of the
duties of the committee- With
the exception of the campaign
Text Book, which is prepared by
the committee, and which is not
for general distribution but for
speakers editors, the com
does not decide what sort
of documents are to be sent into
a Congressional district- It mere-
sends what is asked for by the
candidate or those authorized to
speak for him- So it is simply
impossible that members of the
committee should dispute over
what documents shall be sent
The committee is filling all the
orders sent to it, and will continue
to do so. Senator says
the information he is receiving
from all over the country is daily
adding to his confidence that the
Democrats will retain control of
the House, and he thinks that the
greater the improvement in
now becoming apparent in
all sections, the larger the Demo-
majority will be, as the
only thing that ever made the
issue doubtful was the business
n and the disposition of
many voters to hold the party in
power responsible for the bard
times.
Representative John T- Dunn,
of New Jersey, has some very
strong ideas on political economy,

This action on the resolution
can by no means be taken as
to the interests of Sena-

the same was in keeping with a
long established precedent of the
Democracy of Pitt county to
adopt no resolutions of

the Legislative ticket selected is
composed of men who are in
hearty accord with the sentiment
of Pitt county upon the

be judged by the talk of Secretary
Lawrence Gardner, who said
result in Maine is hardly
what we expected, considering
the character of the made
by the Republicans, the amount
of money spent, and the speakers
of national reputation thrown
into the State- When compared
with the little that was done by
the Democrats, it strikes me that
the vote is ridiculously small.
The Democrats in Maine had
nothing to lose, whereas the Re-
publicans had everything to gain,
not only in keeping up their ma-
but in increasing them
for the effect elsewhere- But
back of it all is the personal
State pride of a Presidential
boom- Personally, I feel delight-
ed with the result, as I firmly be-
it will have the same effect
on the Democrats the Demo-
vote in that State in 1880
had on the Republicans. The
Democrats of the United States
have determined to elect a ma-
of the members of the

rainbow-chasing with the hope of
securing any votes from either
Maine or Vermont, and are not
to be panic-stricken by any so-
called Republican gains in Re-

As a general thing most of
the people who send abroad for
goods do so because of the bar-
fains offered in the city papers or
they see things

chants, do not keep. If the local

of thoroughly advertising the
goods they handle and their

The Pops were right when they
denounced the demonetization of
silver in 1873. And yet the Pops
are fusing with the Republicans
who did the wicked things they
denounce. Honest men can not
follow such inconsistent men.

LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO
JOTTINGS
Mr. C W. Hickey, of Danville,
Va., spout a portion of last week
on our market.
More damaged tobacco Mas
sold last week in all
year before.
Reports from nearly all
markets show a decline in prices
principally on account of
damp weather and damaged
condition of the tobacco.
That Greenville is all
around best tobacco market in
the eastern part of State
farmers who last week tried
son and Mount will attest.
We have heard numbers of them
say that they never expected to
haul co that far from a good
home market again.
Mr. P. H Gorman has recently
had some valuable improvements
added to his leaf factory here-
The ground floor he has had
pared and a double floor laid all
over which almost makes the
air tight. One room has
been cut off in the lower floor and
apparatus placed in it
for re-drying tobacco. Mr-
man is now prepared to re-handle
tobacco on short time and his
factory is one of the largest and
most convenient in the State.
Mr. Blount, of Washing-
ton, Co., had shipped to
Eastern Warehouse last week
two crates of tobacco. We open-
ed the tobacco and bad it put on
the floor and it was adjudged by
nearly all buyers to be very
good, oily and soft textured to-
but the curing was exceed-
bad. Judging from the
anyone who is a judge of
weed would say that it grew on
good tobacco land but the hum
Dug that did the curing and
grading showed the work of an
inexperienced band. This is
Mr. first year in the
of tobacco and it is a sad
fact that he was so unfortunate
as to get a man who knows
ally nothing about the manage-
of a tobacco crop and as Mr.
Blount of course knew nothing
about tobacco was forced to act
upon the judgment of colored
whose ignorance of what be
pretended to know has certainly
cost Mr- Blount a nice little sum.
Just at this particular time
there is very much complaint
among the farmers from nil over
the country on account of the low
prices of tobacco. Nearly every
in fact everyone since we
have been in the tobacco
at just about this time there
comes a warm, damp spell of
weather which causes tobacco to
get very high in order and run
red. A great many times if the
tobacco is not given the very
closest attention it becomes dam-
aged and of course sells at low
prices. This is the of the
past low prices and farmers may
rest assured that if they cannot
keep it from damaging at home
when they rush it on the market
buyers cannot handle it to their
advantage.

Why Butler Wants Fusion.
Marion Butler wants to go to
United States Senate. He
has set his heart upon that
lion. He wants the place
, wants it bad. It is his study by
day and his dream by night-
Foolish ideas have crept into his
head. Visions of splendor float
before his eyes. Ambition, the
sin by which the our
first parents fell, possess his soul.
So it be set down absolutely
as a fact that the key to the Pop-
movement in this State is
ambition to go to the
Senate. Eliminate that the
concern would collapse. Now,
what are the conditions that But-
has to deal with His arm
is not long enough to roach the
coveted prize. His party polled
only about votes this
State in 1892. What is to be
done Why fusion with the
Republicans is bis idea. He has
been figuring to the effect that
the combined vote of the
lists and Republicans is greater
than th it of Democrats. Yes
that is the way it was two years,
ago, but will it be so this year
Butler thinks it will. Let it be
understood once for all that North
Carolina cannot be used for But-
very ignoble purpose. Our
people have too much Stale
pride, too much self respect and
common sense to open the door
to the evil that dragged down a
neighboring State a few years
