WILMINGTON, N. O., July 81, 1872.
The excitement over the election in this city ia
confined to republican ranks. The conservatives,
being greatly in the minority are quiet but firm and
vigant. To the large republican majority is at
tributable the trouble among the party here.
The disafrection and positive split In their ranks
began in 1870 and productive of such beneficial
results to the conservatives that year that 1t has
never been healed, and has broken out with re-
newed force this campaign.
The squabbe Is over county Oflces, particularly
that Of Sheriff. very fat olice. The interest CEN
tres upon that and they care comparatively little
about the State ticket, each faction being partcu-
larry desirous TO have candidate elected Shertf,
which they are determined to accomplish by any
means The conservatives win take advantage q
this by exchange Of votes with the party having
no candidate for Sheriff The "swapr business IS In
high favor, and 1t is thought, will be worth at least
three hundred votes for Merrim0n. In New Hanover
Waddell, the Congressional candidate will be bcne
flied yet more, and Is certain to he elected.
There Is no probability OF o compromise between
the republican factions.
No serious fears are entertained OF disturbance
should there be anyit Is more likely t0
