vote then was Is 4s7 against 1886 for the
democrats and 6.4I5 for the populists. The
votes then against him are now for him
and most of those then for him are now
against him, but he has still enough re-
publican following to make 1t probable
that ne will be elected.
Seventh-Candidates: Rep, Frank NJ
Eddy, Glenwood renominated: fus., F. E
Lommen, Crookston; pro-, ]. F. Heibers
Twin Valley.
The vote two years ago was: Rep. 49,
2O6: dem. 3.4S6: pop. 17.4OS- The fusion
candidate has the best chance of election
this time, as the combined vote exceeds
the republican vote, and the Independent
PopuIist candidate is understood to have
but a small following.
Evening star., 1896-10-31
NORTH CAROLINA.

In North Carolina the republicans and
pepulists are generally working together
ard in some of the districts they have a
direct fusion.
First. Candidates-Dem., w. H. Lucas

vile, renominated.
Skinner, the populist, is the present Rep

lcan and 5,314 populist. The democrat.

sen: pop. Frank f. Fowler. Clinton.
The republicans are supporting the pop
ulist. The vote last election was: Dem, TO-
G93; rep, 6.966; pop, 9,7O5. The populist

populists here having Joined with the dem.

by vote of 1852 to 14,O3O dem, 2,oS
pop. and 252 pro.
Sixth. Candidates-Dem., James A. Lock.
hart, Wadesboro, renominated; pop, Rev

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The only district regarded as in doubt Is
the first.
The republicans occasionally carry this
first district, and there is usually a con-
test when the certificate is given to a DEM
ocrat. The populists are united with the
democrats.
First-Candidates: Republican, G. w.
Murray, Charleston; democrat, William

NEBRASKA.

In Nebraska party lines are divided even
more perhaps than in most other places
1t is the home Of the free silver presidential
candidate Both parties are putting forth
extra effort to carry the state, and both
are claiming it, 1t is usually regarded as
likely 10 go to Bryan. II 1t does go for
Bryan that will mean that the silver sentl-
ment Is strong among a certain class Of
republicans, and the same influence will
operate In the congressional districts
Nothing there can be calculated upon wira
certainty. Where figures from past cleo
lions show that the combined vote of the
democrats and populists exceeds the re-
publican vote, there has still to be taken
into consideration the fact that the an
tagonism between the gold democrats and
The Bryan democrats is intense. and that
the gold democratic vote is strong. The
populists and democrats have made a COM
plets fusion.

PENNSYLVANIA.

The democrats elected but two members
to the present Congress. These were in
the eighth and ninth districts. They are
claiming that they will elect several this
time en- account of the alleged silver senti-
ment in the mining and agricultural seq
Hons. The populists have a candidate Of
their own for CoHgressman-at-large, but
are generally supporting the democrats In
the several districts.

VIRGINIA..

III tnlS state the republicans are fighting
energetically for Congressman, counting
upon the aid of the gold democrats to les
sen the free silver vote.
First. Cand:dates-Rep, Walter B. Tyler
Fredericksburg; dem., w. A. Jones, War
saw.
Vote in 1s9+Dem., 11,59S: rep, G,944;
pep, 461.
In this district the free silver democratic
candidate, w. A. Jones. will probably be
elected. The district is more completely
agricultural than any in the state, Fred
ericksburg being the only town Of con-
siderable size in the district The senti-
in the district is for free silver There
is very strong sound money sentiment in
Accomac county on the eastern shore, and
in Fredericksburg, as well as throughout a
large part of Caroline county. A large
number Of disaffected democrats in the
views. The district has been twice car
ried by the republicans.
Second. Candidates-Rep, r. A. Wise,
williamsburg; dem., William A. Young,
Norfolk; s. NJ. D., William Whaley, Nor
folk.
Vote in 1s94-Dem., IL, 375: rep, S,S6S.
There is a very hot fight on, and the re-
suit is hard to predict. This is the only
district in the state that sent a gold stand
ard delegation to Chicago. There is a very
strong sound money sentiment in Norfolk
and Portsmouth, and in the counties in the
district there are more sound money voters
than will be found in any like number Of
counties in any district in the state.
Third. Candidates-Rep., Lunsford L.
Lewis, Richmond; dem., John b. Lamb.
Vote In 1s94-Dem., 11.745; rep. 4.653;
The light In the third district is to be
one Of the stiffest in the state. Captain
