CHARLOTTE, n. c., Oct. 25.-Dave Lee
Craft, well known negro porter for
leading hardware store here, announced
in card in the Chronicle Tuesday
morning that he would vote for Cleve
land, and advised all his "colored
friends to do likewise, giving the rea-
sons usually offered by colored men re-
nounclng the Republican party. The
card created sensation among the
negroes. who were told of it by their
leaders. 1t has been discussed for two
days on the street corners. To-day
Craft received letter written in igno-
rant chirography, embellished with
rudely drawn collins. on the lid of which
were the words: Liberty or DEATH"
The letter was written on the back of
Republican circular. 1t was in the old
time Ku-KluX style, and is very de-
cided threat that unless Craft writes
another card and renouuceS the Demo
cratic party he will not live to see the
sixth day of November. The letter
contains the usual death resolutions,

ILLINOIS FOR PALMER,
And the Electoral Vote of the
State May Go to Cleveland.

State May Go to Cleveland.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The great battle
in Illinois is almost over. The three
parties are giving the finishing touches
TO their campaign. and in less than two
weeks the country will know the result.
A review of the situation can not well
be made without referring to the figures
in past elections. The facts contained
i'll them are of great interest, bearing
as they do upon a political situation,
which has been full of Kaleidoscope
changes. The change in the total vote
has constantly drifted since 1880 infavOr
of the Democrats. While the number
of ballots cast in 1884 for preSiden-
tial candidates exceeded those cast for
electoral tickets in 1880 by 50,537 the
Democrats gained 35,263 votes and the
Republicans but 1854 Summing uD
the situation and allowing all claims to
be true. the Democrats have the best Of
it. The Prohibition gains certainly
come from Republican sources. They
gained 1000 votes from 1854 to 1886,
while the old parties fell off in theirs.
If this ratio of increase keeps up their
vote will be very large. That the labor
men are for Palmer is fact that no one
denies. Ninety-five per cent of the rail
road men are also with him. 1t looks
very much as if the Democrats would
gain at least per cent on their total
vote and stand fighting chance of car
rying the state for Cleveland besides
electing Palmer by round majority.
The total vote will reach 100000.

ground-hog legend. He wanted to
know ''for sure' whether or not there
is to be an open spring, and SO, on the
morning after grounding day, he took
pick-axe and started to dig clear to
the bottom of the nest of one of these
animals to see if it had remained out
Or gone back into its hole. He dug
down a few feet and found, not the
ground .hog. but an immense deposit
Of rich galena.
