RALEIGH. Nov. SIN the absence
of the figures the following carefully
prepared estimate may be relied upon as
latest figures on thu Populist.Fuslonlst
msjorities. It uust be noted that the
present Associate Justice Walter Clark
will keep bis seat as be ran on both
tickets and got nearly slkthe votes cast.
The next United States Senator'S will
probably be Marion Butler and Mott
with chance for PrlIchard, but Mott
has the g now.
Congressional results follow:
FIRST District, Skinner (Rsr.) 1000;
Second District, Woodward (Dem.) }
$500; Third District, Shaw (Dsm. }

$500; Sixth District, Lockart (Den.)
1900; Seventh District, Shusord (Pop.
$50; Eighth District, Llnuey pop }
100; Ninth District, Pearson (Rsp.) and
Crawford (Dem.) both claims that the
official count is necessary to oec!de.
The State and judicial ticket Of the
Fusionists is elected by several thou
sand. Marion Butler, the Populist
leader, claims 10000. The Legislature
en- JOINT ballot will probably be Fusion.
RALEIGH, n. G., Nov. 8 Semi FL
cial returns from nearly every county in
the State indicate that the Fusion ticket,
State, Judicial and legislative, put cut
by the Republicans and Popul!sts is
elected by some 10000 ajority. This
gives them the State Treasurer, Chief
Justics and two Associate Justices OF
the Supreme Court and five Judges OF
the Superior Court.
Cbirman Butler Of lac P1pulists
claims the State By $4,000 and says that
the Fusionists will havs majority On
Joint ballot. This latter estimate IS be-
lisved to ba correct. Tney will have
the Senate oy ten majority. It's Dot
yet possible TO estimate their strength
in the House. OGl7 three Depocrt'c
Congressmen have been elected. Wood.
ward 10 the Second; Shaw in the Third
and Lcckhsrt in the Sxth. Crawford
is defeated by Pearson 10 ths Ninth By
a very small majority.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Nov. SIN the
Congressional fight Dockery Of the
Third, Tarsuey of the Fifth and Cobb
of the Twelfth are the only Democrats
that have been elected on the face oi
returns. Hatch in the First District ia
clearly beaten by Clark. Hallsck in tha
Second, for whom there were strong
hopes until now, has surely gone down,

Seventh arc buried. 10 the Eighth
"SiIyer Dick" Bland's rural constitu'
ency has given him the go.by in favor
Of Joel Hubbard. In the Ninth Champ
Clark has been defeated by Treloar OF
Adrian, school teacher. with protec
ton tendencies. Bartholdt in the Tenth,
Joy in the Eleventh and Ranuey in the
Thirteenth, swell the ReDublica ns
column. The Swamp Angel" District
of the Southeast where only Democrats
were supposed to live, have elected
Mosely, tie Republican candidate. For
the FIRST time in twenty-five years the
Southeast has tailed to come up rock
ribbed for the Democratic ticket. Coun'
ties which have never gone Republican
since the ex.C .Confedsrates were restored
to citizenship have elected the entire
Republican ticket. Analysis Of the vote
as shown by returns received at Demo
cratic hes6surters shows that no por'
ton OF the State hes been exempt from
the shaking up. It is just as bad down
along the Arkansas line as it is up on
the Iowa border. The Mississippi River
counties are as badly "slumped" ss Is
the tier which borders Kansas.
