BILE reports from the north and north
west, to the effect that heavy losses
have been sustained by floods, and

time, and prospects ahead are believed
to be very encouraging.

of the southern textile industry. The

and complain that present conditions
do not give them reasonable profit.

fast. if it does seem to have things lie

reorganization Of county and legisls-

More changes were decided on in this,

there are more sound money men in the

OH the regular Democratic ticket as the
result of the fusion of the Democrats
and PopuliSts, will cast their vote for
BRYAN and Watson, leaving four electoral
votes 10 lie cast for Bryan and Sewall by
Louisiana.
PolIIIcal pressure might be brought TO
bear on the POpulisJ electors, sufficiently
strong to make them vote for Bryan and
Sewall- This, however, is unlikely. The
Democrats will elect Congressman in the

Chairman Coe, of the State committee,
issued statement today, claiming the
State by $4,000 plurality for Mex inley
and Scofield, and the election of the whole
Congressional delegation. Bets are
to / that Mckinley carries the State by
over %, 900 plurality.
Perfect fusion between Democrats and
Populists obtains on the electoral, State,
Congressional, legislative, and many county
tickets.
The Democrats have pat up good cam
paign, considering their lack of funds. Be
side having had Bryan twice, they have
had Vice President stevenson, Eugene V.
pebs, Grand Master Sovereign, Clarence S.
borrow, and others. They say that there
is an undercurrent among the workingmcn
and farmers that VIII result in a landslide
md carry the State for Bryan. Chairman
Walls estimate today claims the StG:c for
Bryan by about IS GOO plurality.
The gold Democrats have carried on an
active canvass with speeches by MessrS.
Palmer, Buckner, Villas. Bragg. and others,
but their vote is likely to be very small.
An outside estimate is 10000. The Pro
hibitionists polied about IL 600 votes i'll
1884 but most of them are silver men.
The surface indications are that the State
is sure for Mckinley by from 25,o0O 10
10000 plurality, but if the democratic
"undercurrent'' develops, as there are
some signs it may, the State is just as
likely TO go as strong The other way.
