troll the machinery for the purpose of dispens-
ing that patronage. II the republicans get the
majority in the state election then there would
be too many fingers in the pie. There is much
can factions, but no one save the persons them
selves can tell whether the quarrel is sincere.
The national and state democratic tickets will
run close together. Carr, the nominee for gov
ernor, will get some votes from the third party
which win not go TO Cleveland. Some third
party men will, on the other hand, vote for
Weaver who will not vote for Exum, that
party's nominee for governor"
THE REPUBLICAN VIEW.
''North Carolina is today a. safe for Harrison
as is Pennsylvania, unless one Of two things
occurs. One Of these things is a stampede to
the third party upon that party's being able to
show that it can carry the state; the other Ii .
counting out by democrats after the election.
The republicans are seeking to prevent the
stampede, and during the past few days they
have gained heart wonderfully; to such a
degree, in fact, that there il now talk Of the
third party's coming over to them. The re-
publican campaign in the west, where only
white speakers are on the stump, Is now practi-
cally at an end The next move will be for .
large number Of these speakers to go to the
eastern counties and to- reinforce them with a
number of negro speakers. The use Of the lat
ter is very apparent; II is to get the negro
voters in lire By means Of these two classes
Of speakers the republicans expect to get 30
per cent Of their party in line on election day
and to sweep the state for Harrison. They
propose also to sweep it for Furches and the
rest Of the state ticket The democrats
have made many mistakes in the past
three months, and are now in the midst
Of these. One of the first mistakes was their
early campaign. They have expended their
force; they have greatly incensed the third party
men. Thirtyfve thousand Of the latter viii
stick, no matter what comes, and by such
show Of strength may be able to get Is, 900 to
10000 doubtful men to go with them. The re-
pubhcans would. if the third party showed
clearly that ii had a majority, stampede and
join IT, but the feeling in the past few days is
that there will be no such stampede. The dem
ocrats have treated the republicans very cour-
teously in this campaign. The third party is
more bitter toward the democrats than the re-
publicans are. Under no circumstances would
the republicans go to the democratic. Republic
can efforts now are to divide the democratic
vote. They know they can hold the negroes
and they also know that far more third party
men are from the democratic than from the re-
publican party"
THE FUSION REPUBLICAN VIEW.
Harrison is stronger in North Carolina than
Furches, republican nominee for governor;
Carr, the democratic nominee for governor, is
stronger than Cleveland; Weaver is stronger
than Exum, the third party nominee for gov
ernor. The contest for the electoral vote is be-
tween Harrison and Weaver. For governor the
contest is between Exum and Carr. Demo
cratic success depends entirely upon the num-
Der Of colored votes polied by Cleveland and
Carr. am Of opinion that Weaver will re-
cieve the votes Of $1,000 men who have hereto
fore voted the democratic ticket and the votes
of 10000 men who have heretofore voted the
republican ticket. Harrison will have 100 900
and Cleveland 10000 Exum will have IS 900
former democratic votes and As, 900 republican
votes; Carr will have los, 900 and Furches 60,
900. The legislature will be composed of an
anti-democratic majority in both houses. The
democratic opposition expect to elect Congress-
eighth, with fighting chance in all the others"
