Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR:
RALEIGH, N. c., November 3.-It has Just beer
ascertalned by the friends OF Congressman York
the coalition candidate for governor that there Is
movement on foot to sell out the coalition state
ticket In an effort to secure the electoral vote OF
North Carolina for Blaine and Logan Both demo.
Gratis and republicans said to be pdtceps Grim
afS, the latter being almost exclusively federal
Office holders Aswas asserted In a special letter
to The STAR few days ago. the democrats of this
state had rather have Cleveland defeated dozen
times over rather than hand over the reins OF state
government 10 the republicans; and. actuated by
those motives, many being ap5rehensive OF the re-
Sult are said TO favor this plan OF trading votes
which VIII secure the election OF Gen. Scales and the
Dalance OF the democratic state ticket How the
scheme Will work cannot just now be foretod.
Several liberal democrats have been In conference
with federal officials, and one OF the former told
your representative that IL the plan was attempted
10 De carried out they (the liberals) had little
game 10 work, too-they would vote for Cleveland
and thereby defeat the ends of the schemerS. In
that case Scales and Cleveland would sweep thf
state without doubt 1t is understood. however
that the liberal democrats are waiting TO hear from
Dr. tyre YORK. the coalition candidate for gov.
ernOr, before taking action In the premises
Senator Chaffee has not been I'm this state
although all the papers have announced his arrlv al
mere; but other republican emSSarieS have, and
they are said TO have left good supply OF "soap'
behind them. The republicans here seem to be i'm
pressed with the Idea that it is highly essential ii
not absolutely necessary, that Blaine should carry
southern state, and herculean efforts Will be
made tomorrow TO swing North Carolina around
into the republican column, with what success re-
mains to be seen.
Dr. York, though not at all well, deserted his sick
bed saturday and made two rattling speeches on
that day. He Will also speak to-day, and il reported
as being confident OF election. Blane's chances of
carrying The state are regarded as being much
more favorable than York's, however
1t is not improbable that some trouble NAV be
experienced at the polls Tomorrow. The demo-
Gratis claim that a large number OF negroes are
registered throughout the state who are not en-
tilted TO vote by reason OF their being disfranchised
through serving terms in the penitentary for in
famous onenSes The coalitioniSts assert that this
Is not SO, and that the charge Is simply scheme
to deprive colored men OF their votes.
W. +. Williamson, republican electr In the
gresham Orlando Hubs has been substituted.
Mr. Williamson is the postmaster OF Tarboro and
Is ineligible as an elector,a fact which had hitherto
been overlooked.
Reports have been received OF another negro out
rage, this time at ASheville. While Hon. T. F.
Davidson, democratic candidate for attorney gen.
eral, was addressing meeting at that place Ia the
court house. large stones Were thrown through the
windows by negro mob outside The glass work
OF the windows was shattered and several persons
struck by the missiles. A similar occurrence took
place at Wilmington about ten days ago, and it is
but just to say that the democrats have shown
much forOearance In the premises.
You cannot get any bets to-day on the result OF
the presidential vote In this state one way or the
other, but democrats can be found who are willing
to give small odds on Gen. Scales election G.
