REGISTRATION WAS HEAVY
AN INCREASE OF 295 NAMES OVER
THE VOTE OF 1895.
There Are 5lo More White Voters in
City Than Coiored nd 366
More in Township.

At all the eleven places in the city
of Raleigh appointed for registration
there was a steady flow of voters yes
terday desiring their qualifications
legalized so that they could join in
the battle of ballots on the 3rd of next
November.
Beginning at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing there was a pretty regular regis
tration of names until the final closing
of the books al 4 O'Clock. The voters
who registered yesterday were prin-
cipally business and profession men
who had been putting the matter off
from day to day. They were for the
most part Democrats, the Republicans.
as usual, having recorded their names
at the earliesct opportunity. There was
no trouble anywhere and everything
went off quietly and pleasantly, as
has always been the case in Raleigh,
where the best of feeling between the
parties and races exists.
Tn total registration in the city by
wards, when the books were closed
yesterday afternoon, was as follows:
\ First Ward first diyision) white,
228; colored, 90: Second division)
white, 265; colored. ~.
Second Ward (first division) white,
1877; colored, 81: (sccond division)
white, 262; colored Sc.
Third Ward first division) white,
277; colored ISL: (second diyision)
white, 1856; colored. 238.
Fourth Ward (frst division) white,
208; colored, 1876: (second division)
white, S.; colored, 315.
The total registration in the city is
2,743-of, these 1881 are white and
lib are colored. This gives the
whites a majority of $40 in the corpor-
ate limits.
This is an increased registration Of
POS over 1895, when the largest vote iii
the history of the city was polled. OF
this 295 Increase, IS are white and
40 colored.
In Outside East there was no en-
tirely new registration as in the other
wards OF the more than 500 old
names on the books only 460-135
white and 325 colored-are known to
be in the precinct. OF the IT'S new
names that have been added 65 are
white and 10 are colored-a colored
majority of 235. The vote in this pre-
cinct two years ago was; Democratic,
145; Republican, 245.
In Outside West the registration
| was First white ,167; colored,
| 1856: second division White, 1856; col
ored, Sc. A white majority of 50. The
| vote in this precinct at the last cleo
ton was: Democratic, 1871; Republi-
| can, $50.
1t will be seen from the above fig
ures that the white people have a
majority of only 500 in the township
but challenge day has not yet arrived
and many of the negroes who have
registered are known to be Mr.. Hol-
| toms fraudulent voters. An attempt
will be made to purge the books OF
| these names.

Hon. Charles NJ. Cooke, Secretary of
State, reached Raleigh last night re-
turning from speaking tour through
Johnston, Harnebt, Cumberland and
Wake. He spoke yesterday at Holly
Springs, Wake county, TO a good crowd.
Capt. Cooke finds growing interest
everywhere, and says the people in
the country districts are thoroughly
aroused to the Importance of this cleo
ton. He says there has been no a.bate-
ment of silver sentiment. but that the
rank and file of all parties are resolved
to vote for silver men for office. Like
all other speakers who have gone out
among the farmers, Capt. Cooke is
impressed with the trend of sentiment
that sets strongly against any union
of forces with gold-bugs. The people
are going to repudiate all deals that
do not elect silver men to Office.
