The following letter from North Caro-

self:
GREENSBORO, N. c.. Nov. Z, 1894.
Hon. j. w. Babcock,
Washington, d. @.
Dear Sir:
We won a complete victory at the polls
here yesterday. Have elected the judicial
ticket by an estimated majority of over
forty thousand. and have both branches of
the legislature. with four republican Con-
gressmen and three populists. The fight
will have to be made tomorrow, before the
county canvassing boards. These boards
have judicial powers, with the right to
investigate the legality of every vote, and
pass upon the regularity of the precinct
returns. 1t will be necessary for us to have
lawyers of reputation and ability to ap-
pear before these caLvassing boards in
many OF the counties of the state We will
be compelled to employ democratic law
stroke of policy to get them. / have borne
the expenses of this campaign mainly, and
now my money is exhausted. Our candi-
dates claim that they have not the means,
and this Is true with the most of them.
II we succeed in holding the state, it is the
end of democracy here, for have had
for years the majority, but through the
election machinery We have been defrauded.
II you can do anything for us, name the
amount by wire Immediately upon the
ceipt of this. We have been arranging to
employ counsel by wire where needed, If
we can raise the means. The democrats
say they have given up the state, but in
formation comes to us that they intend to
do their work before the canvassing boards
tomorrow. Some of their unguarded poll
tlcians are saying that they have the ma
chinery and expect to use II. and do not
intend to give up the state; that the court
beats voting" 1 have made estimates in
thirty counties in the state on definite in
formation. and In these counties we have
gained twenty-five thousand over the
vote of two years ago, and have gained in
these counties thirty-five members of the
house out of forty-six, and 1t seems that
this ratio will be kept up except In the
first and ninth districts, and in these We
have gaire about six thousand. Pearton's
majority in the ninth is 1872, and Skinners
In the first is about 800.
Yours truly,
A. 2. HOLTON.

Chairman Babcock telegraphed a reply to
