has been due. in part, to the fact that
Democratic success has all the while
been apparent.
On account of this feeling of confidence
it is expected that a comparatively light
vote will be polled. The indications are
that Bryan and Kitchin's majority will
not fall short of 300 or 400.
In Greensboro great deal of interest
has been taken in the Senatorial fight
The friends of both candidates have been
active and vigilant, and the county is
claimed for both Carr and Simmons
General Carrs supporters, however. APP
pear to be more confident of victory than
the friends of Mr.. Simmons. General
Carr will probably carry Guilford by a
majority about equal to the Democratic
majority.
STANLY.
Norwood Y. c., Nov. 5.-The campaign
in Stanly has been well managed by the
Democrats. The county is we'll organ
lied, and with fair weather and a full
vote, Stanly will give 800 majority for
Bryan and Kluttz. There is great apathy
on the part of the Republicans.
The county will give Simmons from 400
to 600 hundred majority.
CURRITUCK.
Currituck, c. H., n. c., Nov. 5.-Hon
John H. Small will carry Currituck coun-
ty for Congress. Presidential electors

CATAWBA
hickory, N c., Nov 5.-The campaign
has been exceedingly quiet. There has
not been a single Populist or Republican
speaking of any note in the county and
the Democrats have had but few. The
Populist vote will either stay at home
or be thrown to Mckinley A few may
vote for Barker and Donelly. Bryan's
majority will be about two hundred. AS
there is a three cornered Congressional
fight in this district, Kluttz will carry
Catawba by about 500. 1t is believed that
all the Populists who go to the polls will
vote for their nominee, A. G. Shuford.
A conservative estimate, based upon
reports from every precinct, gives Sim
mons 500 majority. Carr's supporters say
Simmons will lead by only small margin
he has a majority at all.
Newton n. c., Nov. 5.-Catawba county
will give from $50 to 300 majority for
Bryan. while Kluttz will have larger
majority than Bryan in the county
The Senatorial contest will be lively
The county will give majority for Sim
mems. His men claim majority of six
hundred in the county but the Carr men
claim it will not be that large
The Popuists in this county are at a
loss to know how to vote and many of
them will stay at home. Very few of
them will vote for Mckinley, while many
will vote for Bryan.
NORTHAMPTON.
Jackson, NJ c., Nov. Bryan and
K!tchin will carry the county by about
500 majority. Both sides claim Senator
shop The vote will be close.
EDGECoMBE.
Tarboro, N. c., Nov. 5-The campaign
in Edgecombe for the last few weeks has
been brisk. Hardly a Saturday has been
a speaking in several sections of the coun-
ty The interest in the county has beer
more than one would expect. Nearly
everywhere the speakers have had good
crowds when sufficient notice had been
given. The party in the county is fully
awake to the great mission it has to per-
form in this election, and it can be count
ed on for good majorities. The organiza-
tion is such that every white man will
vote, with a few exceptions, the Demo
cratic ticket. The negroes will not cast
a heavy vote They are taking no interest
at all in the election
The Senatorial question is attracting
much interest 1t is foregone conclusion
