North Carolina Elections-what the New
York Papers Say
NeW York, Aug. "a Raleigh dispatch
to the Herald says it may take the official
count to give the result of North Carolina.
The Democrats there claim a majority of
from two to, three thousand. The Repub-
licans, however, decline to give up the result,
although the Era, the Republican organ of
the State, comedies the election of Merr-
mon by small majority.
A World special says Merrimon thinks
his majority will be 6,000.
The Times is unwilling to give the State
to the Democrats, and thinks it may take
until tomorrow TO settle the question.
The Tribune rejoices over the victory,
claiming 900 majority i'll the State at the
lowest.
Washington Dispatches
Washington, Aug. 3.-There is no reason to
doubt the approximation made by previous
dispatches regarding North Carolina; fix
ing the majority at from 5000 to 10000,
and six Conservative congressman. How
ever, both parties claim the State. The
Radicals in many instances wager 80 to
100 on the State.
Our North Carolina Agents have not
thought it worth while to confirm previous
dispatches. ..-...
