NASH COUNTY, Sept. 30, lS4s.
In this portion OF North Carolina if except the warm
enthusiasm that is everywhere manifested for Cass and
Butler there is but little political excitement The wings
many OF them declare their determination TO pay yet
mark of their respect and affection their beloved
leader Harry OF the West. by casting their votes for him
if they have an opportunity
All here have for some lime been confident of the cleo
tora vote of this State being thrown for Cass aud But
Ter; and we may look upon il fixed certainty that
tins will be done il the above mentioned determination of
the wings shall be carried We have more to fear
from the increasing sanguneness OF of party,
than we have from any opposition that may be
offered by the wings So many changes are taking place,
anu the wings look forlorn and dspirted thai partly
from excessive confidence in their ultimate
cess, and partly through commseration for their much
tO-be plted opponents number of democrats in this
stronghold of democracy will, fear be rather luke
warm If not in voting themselves, at least in their exer-
tons make others vote, unless they see that there
something to be apprehended than what there
appears to be.
Ever since the official vote for governor was published
and the of the people were opened to the asehoods
and misrepresentation perperated concerning it by the
wing presses of this State many honest who have
hitherto voted with the wings, have declared their inen

and deliberately blind them to the truth. The wings
have been trying the vote could be estimated with
any degree OF correctness 10 nfuse into the minds OF the
more ignorant and preudced portion of the people the
very erroneous impression that Col Reid the democratic
candidate did not gain upon the vote for Col Hoke, the
democratic candidate in 1914; and that Mr. Marley had
fallen thousands behind Gov. Graham. But the utter
falsy of these statements has been exposed and is
plain before the eyes of all. The aggregate vote is
