The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1900-11-06

Reckham, the Democratic Governor, mas
made a most vigorous campaign and mas
stumped the State from end to end. hon.
j. w. Yerkes, conceded to be the strong
est Republican in Kentucky, has lone
likewise. and the leaders on both sides
express the sincerest confidence OF sue
cess on Tuesday. The Republicans brought
their campaign to a close in Louisville
last night. when Mr.. Yerkes and other
Republicans spoke in various parts OF
the CITY. and tonight the Democrats end
ed their campaign here with Mr.. Beck
ham as the principal speaker at foul
meetings throughout the city. Botn cam
paigns were closed amid the greatest en-
thlsiasm and with a more widespread
interest, perhaps. than ever attended
any other election in Kentucky. On &C
count of the Goebel assassination, there
have been so many breaks in the ranks
on both sides that little stress can be
placed on claims of either, and a land
| slide one way or the other would not De
| surprising to many. While the campaigns
have been exciting and at times unusually
bitter, there has been very little trouble
and no more than the ordinary election
| day disorder is anticipated Tuesday.
NEW YORK.
New York. Nov. 1.-THE Republicans
| practically brought the Presidential cam
| paign of 1900 to a close today with a
large parade conducted under the aus
pices of the Business Mems Republican
| and Sound Money Association.
The campaign has been conducted with
unusual vigor on both sides, and rarely,
if ever, has more hard work been done
in this city and State by the leaders OF
Republican and Democratic organizations.
Doth Cidoc will in1u1pa in a breathing
| spell from now until next Tuesday.
Leaders on both sides are greatly in
terested in the possibilities in what is
termed the silent vote, as we'll as the
| political alignment of first voters and
new voters. timat concerning the
possible political action Of the silent or
| secret voters are valueless. So far as
! the first voters and nautralized voters are
concerned, it may be said that the in
crease in registration in this city this
year has been remarkable. The total
registration for the five borOughs OF
Greater New York this year amounts to
$40, 06S. as against 81 ,129, a gain OF
nearly 70. 900 as compared with the regis
! tration of four years ago. 1t is his raw
, vote and the silent vote that has puzzled
the Republican and Democratic leaders.
