The Fight for the Senatorship.-Che
Inauguration OF Governor Fowle.-
Miscellaneous Matters. &
- Especial Correspondence to the Sentinel.1 s
RALEIGH, Jan. 15.-The fight for
the Senatorship is ON in earnest. Ran
som, Waddell, Jarvis. and Alexander,
the four qavowed candidates for the
position, are all on the ground, and
they and their respective friends are
continuously engaged in putting bugs
into the ears of legislators.
Onecan hardly estimate the strength
of the different candidates, as many Of
the members decline to express their
preferences 10 the matter. It is prob
able, however, that Ransom will show
the greatest strength on the first bal
lot in caucus, but it is believed that he
will fall short of a majority. 1t is
thought that the combined vote of
Waddell, Jarvis, and Alexander will
include at least three fifths, if not two.
thirds Of the Democratic members of
the two houses.
If this surmise turns out to be cor
rect and it becomes impossible or diff.
fcult to agree upon either of the
above named gentlemen, new man
will be taken up and nominated. In
this connection the two names most
prominently mentioned are Hon.
Charles M. Stedman and Julian S.
Carr The caucus will be held to night
THE INAUGURATION.
The inauguration of Governor-elect
Fowle, which takes place next Thursday
18th inst, promises to be the most i'm.
posing event of that character for
many years in this State A large
number of the State Guard will be
present to participate in the event,
and ex-governors Vance, Jarvis, and
Scales-representing the twelve years
of Democratic rule since the war-will
be on hand.
On Thursday night there will be a
grand inaugural ball, to be given un-
der the auspices of the Monogram
Club, Of this city, in Stronach's big
warehouse. Over thousand invita-
tions will be sent to persons living at
other points in this State, and through
out the country.
The House of Representatives on
Tuesday appointed its branch of the
inauguration committee as follows !:
