ed in "off years" an uncertain partisan
quantity. The nomination Of John r
Mclean for the governOrship has guar.
anteed an unusually active and aggres-
sive campaign this fall on the part OF
the democratic opposition, and some
factional and personal differences still
unadjusted have left the republican
party with a harder struggle ahead OF
1t than any it has been called upon to
( make since 1891 AS a defeat in the
presidents own state this fall would
seriously impair the prestige Of the
present republican administration, and
as Mr.. McLean's success, on the con-
trary, would make him at once a for
midable candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination, the present
campaign will have a decisive infiu-
ence in shaping the future course Of
national politics, and it has naturally
enlisted the interest and energies OF
the leaders Of both political parties.
President Mckinley and Colonel Bryan
have both appeared in the canvass in
its later stages, and many other prom
inent campaigners, both republican and
democratic, have been called in from
other states. Ostensibly the struggle
is Being made On the national issues
embodied in the GAINESVILLE platform

Of 16 to l and the abandonment OF

NATIONAL ISSUES INVOLVE q

This years political campaign has
been fought out on a relatively narrow
field. Elections are to be held in ele-
ven states-less than one fourth Of the
full number in the federal union. OF
these states five, Massachusetts. New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, may be classed as Eastern
Two, Virginia and Mississippi. belong
to the still! solid" South. Two. Ohio
and Kentucky, lie in the Middle West
ern division, and two, Nebraska and
Iowa, are included in the great North
west In New York, New Jersey and
Virginia, however, only members of
the state legislatures are to be elected
Pennsylvania and Nebraska choose
rev minor state and only Massachu-
sets, Maryland, Ohio Kentucky. Iowa.
and Mississippi hold elections which
involves a change Of state administra-
ton or a general shifting Of political
power.
In Massachusetts, and Mississippi the
result Of the voting is already dis
counted, and republican success in the
former and democratic success in the
latter can in no way influence the lar
ger currents Of national politics. -Four
states only are left, Ohio, Maryland.
Kentucky and Iowa, in which this
years campaigns have assumed a genu-
Inc Importance, both because Of the
political prizes at stake in each and
because Of the effect which SUCCESS or
failure will exercise in shaping the
course Of the next presidential canvass.
To this last group, Nebraska, too. might
be added not because Of the possible
disturbance Of balances in state poll
ties which this years fight for a single

election on Colonel Bryan's prospec-
tive strength and eligibility as a pres
idenial candidate.

democratic party which hesltates about

stats like Virginia and Arkansas. The
Goebel force law. which compliments
and emphasizes Mr. GOebel's personal
achievements as a political highway
man, is the main issue Of the campaign
in Kentucky. whose people are to decide
whether they wish to control their own
destinies or have their opinions and
decisions shaped for them by an ir-
responsible counting machine al
Frankfort.
Colonel Bryan's extraordinary eager
ress to contribute to Mr.. Goebers elec-
tlon arises naturally from his convic-
tion that with Kentucky again lost to
the party his own fight for the presi-
dency would have to be renewed next
year under conditions hardly more en-
couraging than those of 1896.
Should Nebraska also elect a republi- /,
can state ticket his year, Colonel Bry-
ans second candidacy would BE- little
short Of hopelessness. For that reason
his own energies have been lavlshly /
expended to carry through the fusion
candidates this fall, and thus retain his
hold on the one Northwestern state
which since 1896 has shown no decisive
inclination to return 10 the republican
ranks. The republican party has gain
ed strength steadily, however, in the
last three years. and its success in
Nebraska next month is not altogether
beyond probability.
Iowa seems certain this year to give
usual emphatic republican majority.
Interest in the campaign there turns
chiefly on the fact that the democratic
candidate for governor has made his
canvass on the single issue Of opposi-
lion to the administration policy in
he Philippines. The result Of this ap-
peal NAV have some bearing on the
strategy Of the next presidential cam
)aign, for in proportion as this issue
or fails in Iowa It's available
ty may be measured for more general

LoUIsBURG TOBACCO SALES.
Rapid Upbuilding of the Town-Modern
Gin Nearly Completed.

Louisburg, n. c., Aug. g. Especial :
Farmers generally have been so busy
in curing their large crop of tobacco that
they have been unable to get their leaf
stripped and ready for market. For this
reason the sales have heretofore been
rather light, but yesterday was an ex.
ception, and at adj of the five warehouses
there We're large breaks. The facilities
for handling tobacco in this market are
very much enlarged this season, and the
dealers confidently expect a greatly in
creased sale as compared with hast year.
Cotton is in good condition, although
a trifie later than usual.
Quite Il quantity of building is going
ON here.
