THE CONTEST BETWEEN THESE GENTLEMEN FOR
THE SENATE GROWING LIVELY.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
WASHINGTON, Sept GA prominent Republican
politician from North Carolina says that the Sena-
tOra struggle in that State becoming lively. Mr..
MerrimOn's friends now claim forty-eight Demo
cratic members in the Legislature, and are trying to
gain the favor of the Republicans and Independents,
in order to vote sufficient for the Senator's
reelection. The latter are not disposed to accept
any of the professions of Mr. Merrimon OF his sup
pOrters, his first election he stood pledged to
them for his success and failed signally to redeem
his promises and by his subsequent he lost his
opportunity to become leader Of a new combine
ton in North Carolina politics. The supporters of
Mr.. MerrimOn are anxious to have his name come
up for direct vote in the Legislature without the
preliminary fOrmality Of a caucus. Mr.. Vance's
friends appear to be somewhat alarmed at this last
movement, and are not disposed to consent to the
programme, They claim that in the caucus Mr.
Vance would get at least seventy votes and after
ward in the Legislature strong vote from the Re
pubcans. Ali things considered, Mr.. Vance Is be-
heyed TO have the best prospects of success.

while the Maine election will not materially IN
crease the National vote, it will have the effect OF
making the organization more firm. Last year the
bulk of the National vote went from the Republican
marty; but this year the great scramble for once
among the Democrats had created dissensions In
the ranks of the latter. Many have become dis
gusted and viii 20 over to the Nationals OF Repub-
lcans. General Robinson says he shall not be
at all surprised if the Nationals poll 1OO,OOO
votes in Ohio. In reference to the Congressional
districts he is of opinion that Messrs. Hard, Ewing
Warner, Converse, Lefevre will be defeated and
Republicans elected IN their stead. The tight
against Converse in the IXth District IS growing
more heated every day. Damaging evidence OF I'M
professional conduct published andsDread broadcast
which he has been unable to deny has had the effect
of causing anxiety among his friends. lnforma-
ton derived from Democratic sources tonight is to
the effect that Mr.. Converse in consultation with
his friends has already admitted his defeat. IL IS
further stated that Mr.. Thompson declines to give
an opinion as to what the result will be. The
senumenU in the rural districts is said to be steadily
turning in favor of English. One has only to DO
on the ground to observe that the Democracy is
pulling heavy load up hill.
