RALEIGH. N. c., May 2S-(Special.l-
This morning the Second Regiment was
mustered for verihcation, and it's equip
merit was inspected. The reauisition for
supplies will go forward at once, and II is
the earnest hope that II will be filed be-
fore the regiment leaves here. The or
der announcing Tybee as the destination
OF the regiment has not been changed.
but, of course. is liable to change any
moment. 1t will require two weeks OF
hard drill to put the regiment In any kind
have to be taught from the beginning the
use of the rife. None OF the rifles In
possession Of the regiment, except. per-
haps, sixty, are nt for active service.
To-day the adjutant-generai received
tenders of service from three more COM
panies OF volunteers, making thirty ten
ders. There is no doubt, he says, that
volunteering will be even more rapid than
under the first CALL 1t appears TO be the
opinion that the Governor will make thu
second call early next week. The mobili-
cation of troops under 1t, as auder the
first call, will not cost the State any
thing.

POLITICAL MATTERS.
There is yet plenty Of talk about the
grand Democratic State Convention.
remarkable fact about it IS that the anti
fusionists had no caucus. and their move
ment was the spontaneous answer or the
party to the Populist proposition TO fuse.
The fusionists had caucus. and also
strong steering committee. The feeling
with which they accepted the result
showed that the matter was merely ono
OF policy On all sides their conduct -
commended In falling into line with such
grace and vigor Judge Avery's speech
along this line was a model.

made by the Populists
