What is Deemed Necessary TO Keep
Nance's State Solid.

yance's State Solid.
A New York Tribune dispatch from
Raleigh. n c.. last night said This place
was in an uproar tonight A riot is
imminent, and il promises to be one of
the bloodiest character. Already shots
have been exchanged and number Of
/ Republicans have been wounded The
| Democratic leaders are now openly de-
claring On the streets that they will carry
the election and throw out Republican
votes by the wholesale. Threats Of kill
ing are freely made against the negroes
Republican supervisors are warned that
they will be lynched, if they persist in
trying to obtain their rights.
Arms were distributed throughout this
city and in other places, by the bourbon
bosses, who are advising their followers
to resist officers sent by the United States
Commissioners to serve warrants for Of
fences committed against the election
law. In many instances these officers
have been obliged to fee for their lives
Ballot boxes and registration books were
burned in several precincts of this city
to prevent holding an election tomorrow.
The state militia are under arms ready
to aid the disorderly element in execut-
ing the schemes against a fair ballot.
Hundreds Of South Carolina Democrats
are coming across the border to assist in
intimidating the black and white Repub-
leans. These IN many cases are standing
up manfully in their own defense. but
the other side are becoming desperate
If Northern Republican should be found
by the mob, his life would not be worth
much. The Republicans will insist on
voting and on having their votes coun
ted, but the chairman Of the Republican
State Committee is fearful that serious
trouble will occur tomorrow
Dispatches indicating bitter feeling
in North Carolina were received by
Chairman Quay of the National Com
mttee, yesterday Here is one that came
in late in the afternoon from the chair
, man Of the North Carolina State Com
mlttee,
"The Democratic leaders are now
boasting openly that they win count us
out. They are threatening TO kill our
negroes aud lynch our supervisors. They
are arming their people and resisting ar
rest. Several have already been shot, and
! it is certain that blood will flow freely on
election day. The South Carolina Demo
Gratis are coming across the border, and
the militia has been ordered under
arms.
In reply to this Mr. Quay directed the
committee to appeal to the Federal
authorities, if necessary, and also sent
the following telegram, a copy of one
sent ON Sunday night to the chairman Of
the party in all the Southern States;
"lnformation recently received by this
committee convinces us that conspiracy
exists to perpetrate extensive frauds
upon the ballot in different sections of
the South Under the present admins
tration these occurrences cannot be pre-
vented. But we have determined, as far
as in us lies, to prevent their recurrence,
and accordingly, at our final meeting yes
terday, the sum of $50, 600 was set apart
to be paid in rewards which may lead tC
the arrest and conviction Of persons SC
offending. Please direct your people in
all districts where these frauds are likely
to occur to be prepared to furnish the
National Committee at the proper time
with the necessary evidence. A specific
offer of rewards, distributing the amount
appropriated, will be sent you within the
next ten days.
Every effort win be made to protect
t he rights Of the party in Raleigh, but
the indications are that serious trouble is
impending. There is a widespread revolt
against Bourbon rule in the state, an6
the Democratic leaders are trying t
crush it,
