Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 1.-(Special)--
Populist State Chairman Ayer was
asked to-day if it would be a safe thing
to lay a bet of $50 to $40 that Pritchard

reply was "No," for what if Pritchard
comes here and pledges himself to vote
for free silver.
What, indeed.
WANTS THE SENATORSHIP.
There is a little rumor floating around
that D. L. Russell has his eye on the
Senatorship, but this must rest on a
slim foundation.
