RALEIGH,s BUDGET.
Personal and Other Notes About the
Pending Canvass.

RALEIGH. y. c., october 2s.-tSpecial)
There is much enthusiasm among the
Democrats on account of the great rally
at Godsboro yesterday. Some Fopulists
here are saying that 200 people were
present.
The Republicans are now protesting
most vigorously that no Federal troops
are to be sent 10 North Carolina for the
election. The leaders and the smaller fry
are necessarily saying this. They see
plainly the disastrous effects of Senator
Pritchards letter to an interview with
the President on that subject.
Judge Purnen laughed heartily at a let
ter which came to him to-day from
prisoner in Jail in one of the counties. In
the latter the man said he was innocent,
and that he was held as a political pri-
soner, and that he had been put in last
June. His scheme to get out falls very
fat, indeed.
Some of the Popullst leaders here to-day
concede the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict 10 the Democrats. They also vir-
ualy concede the Sixth District to them.
This is quite change. from their state
ments up to-day, of a full sweep.
To-day was the last one of registration.
The Democrats here have registered very
closely. There are bets that they will
carry this county by 200 majority.
