Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 6.-lSpecIal.)-It
II Semainea Tor the biggest t5ohe oil the
I{ysar. politically speaking, to occur after
Il Ehss section. This was the grave an
n advancement last night and to-day by
& gtho Wilson, Populist State COMMITTEE
Una n. that he is a candidate for the
;3Snted States Sena,e to succeed Pritch-
mad. Fur hsrmore, he names himself a s
I'm sinner in u walk. The Republican
EEesteem Wilson very highly as one of
sk5angh loudly and long at this hew claim
ss5$lie makes. They say Pr,tchard Is sure

WATSON WAS AWAY BEHIND.
ssss The difference between the vote for
s66a3Syan and that for Gy. Watson for
Ex-Governor appears to approximate q, 600
Ut Us roughly estimated that the vote for
rs suthrte for Governor Is close to q, 900
Eli IS assepled positively 1t will not reach
Il ,pa0, and as under the election law no
Sggty can have registrars or judges of
a{{66Or Governor, 1t appears that the Popu-
8ists are out of 1t, unless the law be
sSenended so as to reduce the required
ISShuInper. 1t Is certain that the Popu-
a lists were prepared to go to great lengths
3this year to avoid showing their true
Aststength.

Assnd $4,000 tobacco.
q. AZ is est!ma ted that the Republican
spsrty spent over $4,000 to carry this
State. 1t is asserted that in one coun-
9y: II spent $500.
Ut is expected that Cyrus Thompson.

5of al the fusion nominees, and that w.

Is The Popullsts were, perhaps. more an
sSious ito defeat Il. w. Pou, Democratic
Fcandidate for Congress in this district
y than any other nominee. The reason
y OF this was that Pou had as solicitor
