RALEIGH, n. c., October 23.-In an
interview to-day it was positively learned
that there is no fear that the Repub-
licans will capture the Eighth congress
sional district. York will be their can
didate. Your correspondent has seen
his tickets, already printed. Faucet, the
independent-aliiance candidate, will be
run, and ostensibly get Republican sup
port up to the very day of the election,
when York will be put up as the regular
Republican candidate. The Repub-
licans hope TO take enough alliance
votes from Cowles and Faucet to give
York n majority. This will fail, as the
Democrats are posted and will check
mate the scheme. Faucett will GER
tainly get very light vote.
DAMAGE TO COTTON.
More rain fell to-day and is doing
damage to the fully-open cotton. The
greater part of the unpicked cotton is in
the tobacco section. The farmers there
were compelled to delay picking SO as to
save their tobacco.
vALK-oyER or NOT.
State Buslness-Agent W. II. Worth,
of the Farmers Alliance, to-day received
advices from the Second congressional
district that if the Democrats will rally
to Mewborne, the new candidate. they
can whip Cheatham, the Republican
candidate, and redeem the district.
Mowborne is leading alliance man. In
contrast with this news it has been
learned at Democratic headquarters that
the opposition to Cheatham amounts to
nothing owing TO the lateness of the
movement and that he will have walk
over. There is unquestionably much
bitter opposition to Cheathan, even
among the negroes. At Republican head
quarters to-day it was said his election
WAS beyond question.
DEATH OF Mr.. RoYSrER.
News was received here of the death
this morning at Holly Springs OF Msdu
son Register, one of the oldest and most
prominent residents OF this section.
Governor Fowle to-day authorized
Judge Macrae TO hold the term of the
Cumberland Superior Court, exchanging
with Judge Graves, who will hold the
terms of Person and Caswell courts.
REGISTRATION.
Tomorrow the most strenuous efforts
will bo made by both political parties to
secure registration. The Democrats
have everything to gain by full regis
traiion. The Republicans are said to
have done little in this direction in the
back counties.
