The Liberal Republican Headquarters.
The attendance at the liberal headquarters at the
Glenham Hotel yesterday was undminisled and
the interest about North Carolina undated, al
though the democratic victory is almost regarded
as dead certainty. The apprehension seems to
be that the administration organs will so manfpu-
late the returns as to give the State to the repub
leans in opposition to the popular vote. The latest
despatch received from North Carolina at the Glen
ham Hotel Is as follows. II arrived at eleven p NJ.

Mr. Busbee gave some interesting details relative
to the manner in which the campaign was con-
Quoted in North Carolina. He says there is not the
slightest doubt that the State has gone democratic,

but as the counties to be heard from are expected
to give large conservative maJoritles the final
result cannot be changed. He bases his calcua-
lions upon the fac. that larger white vote has been
poled at this election than at any time since the
civil war, and further, that so strong effort!
have never been put forth before. It Is conceded
that General Vance will go to the Senate his disa-
bilities having been removed, and thus the state
will have two democratic Representatives. The
obstacles which the liberals have had to contend
with-according to the statement of Mr.. Busbee-

Mr.. Taylor, OF West Chester Pa, gave some
interesting details OF the progress OF the liberal
