Senator Doolittle who has just return
ed from a canvass Of the State says in an
interview with a World reporter at
will be a very close fight il fairly con-
tested, but the State will undoubtedly
90 against the administration by two or
three thousand. Many are even, more
sanguine, and place the majority at a
much higher figure. The people down
there have begun to tire of promises,
and have lost faith in the administra- !
ton, especially those who are most
deeDlv concerned in business enterprise, |
and they lcOk with great favor upon the |
Greeley movement, believing its success !
will hasten more complete recORcilia- |
tion with the North"
4 New York Herald reporter writing |
from Raleigh, says: "Judge MerrimOn, |
Democratic candidate for Governor, |
spent few hours in the city to-day. !
had lengthy conversation with him, |
and ne expresses himself very sanguine |
that lac viii be elected by majority Of
ten 10 fifteen thousand. He has been
west of here, where the Democrats have
much more cause for encouragement
than the Eastern section of the State.
General Barringer, Chairman OF the
State Committee, estimates the majority
at from five TO eight thousand. He says
Marrimon is q sanguine man and apt TO
0sf the figure too high If anything. None
.of fIfe leading Democrats place the eX-
,acted majority a. less than four thou |
sand. and from that upward. On the
other haud tie Republicans are equally I,
hODefuI. Senator Pool told me tonight |
he had late adviess from every county |
iU the state. and that the Republican |
majority would not be less than eight |
fboosa1d. He has the best means of
knowing the political sentiment Of the |
State of any man in Il, heing ID con- |
slant correspondence with parties in
every civil district.
