Political Outlook.
A prominent Democratic leader gives
this analysis OF the political outlook in
This State;
"The main fight in North Carolina viii

go doubt. II there is any coalition be-
tween the POpulists and the Republicans

expect n coalition TO that degree. and
perhaps there may also be one on the
Confessional ticket. but only in doubt
9ul districts. Perhaps even in some
doubtful districts there may be no coali-
ton. 1 do not expect any fusion on the
general ticket: that is. the ticket for
associate Justices and judges. Nor do
look for complete and harmonious flu
sion between the two elements of the
opposition 10 the Democratic party. L
think the fusion. being of this incomplete
kind. will suffer the fate of all imperfect
fusion movements. that is. defeat; for
30 never succeeds unless complete but
tends 10 disorganize and create mutual
dstrust. j think each party will have
its own candidates for justices and
judges.
"The doubtful districts are. he says. the
FIRST. Second, Third. Fourth. Fifth. and

the nomination in the Third district, but

Bum, in the Fourth district, will have
very decided opposition If he decides to

DE close. but 1 believe the Democrats
VIII carry IT.. There is not so much
trouble in the Ninth as in the other dis
rricts which L have characterized as
doubtful.
Senator Ransom will have very pro-
