The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-11-06

The outlook in the State is good. In
response to an inquiry answers have been
received from number of counties in
the State as follows:
NEW HANOVER.
Wilmington, N. c., Nov. 5.-The nation
al election in New Hanover would be a
very tame affair but for the Senatorial
primary. There will be but little oppo-
| sition TO the regular Democratic ticket
and the bulk of this will come from the
so-called business mems VOTE" though
combined with the regular Republican
strength, it will not exceed, in the
opinion of your correspondent, 200 votes.
| There are not twenty-five negroes and
| Republicans registered in the county and
opposition from this source will be in
appreciable. Nobody thinks a full vote
will be cast and a conservative opinion
is that out of a registered vote of an ap-
proximate 3,OOO about $3.50 will be cast
and at least 1000 of this number for the
Democratic nominees.
The Senatorial contest will be spirited,
and while friends of General Carr con-
cede the county to Simmons, they will at
| tempt to reduce his majority to the very
|
mate of Simmons majority is $50, but
friends of the opposing candidate claim
/ that they are gaining ground hourly, and
the silent vote will fall to them tomor-
row. Simmons friends are claiming even
a larger majority than that indicated
| above, which is a deduction from the
| survey of the field

conceded to Carr by very small ma
iority.
Hon. John D. Bellamy, who is just
back from a two weeks tour of his Con-
gressional district the principal time
having been spent in the upper counties,
| apprehends no serious falling off in Demo-
cratic maiorities from the campaign of
| 1898. AS to the Senatorial contest, he is
| inclined to the opinion that Simmons will
lead in the Sixth District by a small ma
! iority
Governor Russell arrived at 6 o'clock
yesterday evening in a drenching rain,
and went over 70 his arm in Brunswick
| to vote on Tuesday.
General Carr, who spent Sunday in the
city, was called on by many of his friends
| at The Orton during the day, and was
extended every courtesy. A greater por-
tion of the day he spent in rest and left
in the evening for Nashville, where he
spoke today.
VANCE.
Henderson, n. c., Nov. 5.--The national
campaign in Vance county has been q
very quiet one, though the Senatorial
contest has been quite lively and will
| 10
otherwise have been polled The majori-
ty for Bryan in Vance will be from 800
to 400. Pous majority will be about the
same
In the Senatorial primary Simmons will
lead by from 100 to 200 votes.
Henderson, N. c., Nov. 5-The majority
in Vance county, and also Henderson,
will be for Hon. F. NJ. Simmons. but
General Carr has many strong support
ers here among our leading citizens and
is gaining ground daily.
GRANVILLE.
Oxford, N. c., Nov 5.-The Democrats
are thoroughly organized and ready to
vote. The merits of each of the Sena-
torial candidates have been recognized,
but from conservative estimates of lead
vile will be five hundred or more This
county will give the Democratic electors
six hundred majority and w. w. Kitchin
seven hundred.
UNION.
Monroe N. c., Nov Sit is now believ-
ed that Union county will give Bryan a
majority of from 1000 to 1,2O0 against
1,600 in the August election Interest in
the national election, including the vote
for Congressman is overshadowed by the
Senatorial contest. Since Congressman
Bellamy's address here there have been
few public meetings, except in the execu-
tiv work of the two Senatorial clubs The
Carr men are claiming the county by
a 1000 to 1,500 majority; the Simmons
men conceed a small margin to the Carr
men, and the most conservative estimate
is that Carr will carry the county by 900
majority.
A conservative estimate gives the Pres
idential and Congressional candidates a
majority of 1000, and Carr for Senator
600.
CASWELL.
Milton, N c.. Nov. 5.-Caswell county
is in good shape. Democratic victory
seems to be assured. Bryan's following
is stronger than four years ago as sew
eral Gold Democrats have declared for
him. Kitchin will, l think, get the full
Democratic vote. Though he has done
very little campaigning here his hold on
our people is very strong.
Simmons and Carr men are both very
active, both have strong friends, but the
majority seem to think Simmons deserves
the honor
Reidsville, N. c., Nov. 5-The national
and Congressional campaign in this coun-
{ ty has been n very quiet one, and fewer
speeches have been made than before in
years. This county will probably give
BRYAN and Kitchin one thousand major
ity
The Senatorial contest, however. has
been quite lively, and the friends of both
candidates have left nothing undone to
promote the interests of their respective
, favorites. Mr.. Simmons will probably
carry the county.
robson.
Maxton, N c.. Nov. 5.-Outside of the
Senatorial question but little interest is
