4 North Carolina editor here to-day
saws the condition Of the democracy in
his State has improved greatly since
the republicans have put State ticket

democrats there who were low-spiritec
before, are now saying that if the Solo
South be broken next November, ii will
not be the fault of their State. a pri-
yate letter received here to-day from
Congressman Bum Of the same state
is not so assuring. however, as il
states that though the county in which
he lives ought to have eight hundred
democratic majority, the third party has
taken nine hundred votes away from
it, AMI thereby left the republicans
with one hundred plurality.

ways of finding out the secrets OF the
democratic managers.
Mr.. Frank Blair, attorney general OF
