as TO the First District, where things look
very good, indeed.
Interest is intense in Georgia and South
Carolina. as in Virginia, In the election

South Carolina, says public interest IS
greater In the election in North Carolina
than as regards any other State in the
Union.
Everything is very quiet here. There Is
naturally intense interest in the election
The vote will be a very heavy one. The
Democrats will do their fun duty.
Interest in the election is far greater
than II was I'm 1876 Then wherever Vance

this year these fires were hndled all over

meeting at the courthouse tonight. The
courtroom was crowded TO its utmost
capacity. and the audience was com
posed Of the very best element Of our
population. Ringing speeches were made
by local orators and their remarks 10
the effect that the white men must win
to-morrow's election, were cheered TO the
echo. There was a spirit OF determine
ton manifested throughout the meeting
which IS bona nde evidence that the white
men are terribly in earnest 1t Is stated,
on good authority here tonight tnat the
revenue cutter Boutwell,. stationed at this
port, has received orders TO quell any
disturbance that may arise. II Is hoped
that the officers OF the cutter are intel
ligent enough TO realize from what quar-
ter the trouble viii ensue, but when II Is
remembered that the orders proceed from
a Republican administration II is ex-
tremely doubtful how they will act.
FUsIoNIsTs DESPERATE.
The Fusionists realize that the state is
lost. bur are making desperate efforts 20
retrieve their fallen fortunes. In Jones
county, which adjolns this county (Cra-
von). the entire lot of Democratic tickets
was stolen yesterday. II Is highly pro-
bable that this high-handed outrage was
instigated by the fusion managers. Word
was Immediately sent here, however, and
a new supply was sent out to-day. The
general situation tonight may be sum
med up In a few words: The white men
viii win to-morrow's election. They hope
for the best; but are prepared for the
worst.

WILSON COUNTY.
IL VIII he Democratic After To-
Day.

WILSON, N. c., November 7.-(special)
Notwithstanding that Wilson county Is
anti-Democratic by a considerable ma
jority, 1t Will be Democratic after to-
morrow. That is a foregone conclusion.
The white people are determined TO ria
themselves of the negro domination from
which they have suffered for the past
two years. and they will do so at all
hazards-peaceably II possible, but other
wise II necessary In Wilson township
the whites are thoroughly organized and
armed, and are ready for any emer-
gency. The negroes. too, are armed,
and In some sections are inclined TO be
troublesome, though they lack organiza-
ton and are absolutely without leaders,
the few renegade white men who have
previously acted in this capacity having
been warned that any effort on their
part to infiame the blacks Will be at
tended with serious, II not fatal, conse-
quences TO them.
The negroes here while they are, as
stated, disposed 10 give trouble are
afraid to make a move for they are well
aware of the conditions that prevail and
fully cognizant of the absolute determi-
nation Of the whites. Throughout the
county the conditions are about the same,
though the same perfect organization
does not exist among the whites as in
the township
Here the businessmen and most promi-
nent citizens are banded together In two
well-drilled companies, with officers and
directors, and every man is pledged on
his honor TO respond to the call ito
arms" In other words. II the necessity
arises, a given signal, which is thorough
ly understood, will assemble all reputa-
BILE citizens of this community at a pre-
viously designated spot, and when thus
assembled they will be prepared and
ready to act.
Even now every white man in the town
IS armed with a revolver, which is his
constant companion, and while 1t Is
well-known fact that the negroes are
also armed, there seems to be no doubt
in the minds of all that If clash Of
arms becomes necessary the negroes will
be quickly routed.

WEST VIRGINIA LOOKS DEMO
CRATIC.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, November T.
The indications are that the Democrats
will elect three out of four candidates
for Congress and have the Legislature
on joint ballot by a narrow margin.
Chairman Dawson, Of the Republican
State Committee, says the Republicans
will have all four congressman and a
majority of the Legislature, ensuring the
election of a United States senator.
TEXAS DELEGATION PROBABLY
SOLID.
DALLAS, TEN. November THE
situation in Texas is practically un-
changed. The Democratic State Commit
tee claim the election Of their State
ticket by 100000 and the election OF a
solidly Democratic delegation. The Re
publicans in the Tenth District assert
that Congressman Hawley will be re-
elected by a decreased majority, and the
Republicans in the Twelfth District do
not by any means concede the election Of
Slayden. There will be eleven Demo-
Gratis out of thirteen sure, and probably
thirteen. The betting is in favor of the
Republicans in the Tenth District.
