THE STATE ALL RIGHT.

The State Fair this week has
brought thousands of Democrats to
Raleigh from all parts of the State.
They bring good reports from Macon
to Martin. In Macon, q leading Dem
Ocrat says that the Democrats will
win in November though they lost in
August. In Martin the August ma
jority will not be materially changed
in November.
The concensus of opinion is that
there is no apathy strictly speaking
and that large vote will be polled.
What passes for apathy is a feeling.
OF perfect confidence in the result, a
confidence based upon knowledge of
the sentiment of the people. The
Senatorial contest will help to bring
out a full vote, but the people of North
Carolina believe so thoroughly in
Bryan that no influences could pre-
vent his receiving an overwhelming
majority of the white vote in North
Carolina.
All the same, fellow Democrats, re-
member that Pritchard will have
every negro in the State to vote if he
can; that Holton is trying to intimi-
date Democratic officials; and that if
the Democratic vote be light, the big
negro vote, plus small white Repub-
lican vote, might result in Demo-
cratic defeat. This cannot occur on a
full vote. Let every Democrat work
vote in November as was cast in Au-
gust.

ADMIRAL O'NRIL's REPORT.
1t Contains Summary Of the Developments in
Naval Ordnance.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington Oct 25.-The annual report
of Rear Admiral O'Neil contains an in
teresting summary of the important de-
velopments of the year in the matter of
naval ordnance and armor and powder
The estimates for the next year, which
aggregate 81 ,457.S55, include a single item
of $4,O00,000 under head of increase in
the navy, armor and armament. The Adj
miral makes no report on the armor
question for the future. Admiral O'Neil
praises the double turret system. He
says the turrets successfully stood their
gun fires, were under perfect control and
were strong, and in fact no unfavorable
reports of the battery have been received.
The Admiral says the turrets are with
out doubt an unqualified success.
One Of the references in the ship to be
sumarmine boat Holland and O'Neil says
that while the trial runs, probably made
under favorable conditions, have created
a favorable impression, it is too early as
yet to say much in regard to the prac-
teal utility for war purposes of boats
of this type.

BRYANs HOT FINISH IN CHICAGO
Democratic Chairman Says he Will Burn Ul
the Town"
Especial to the World

Chicago, Oct. 23.-William ]. Bryan is
to close the Democratic campaign in Chi
cago He is to burn up the town." as
Bob Burke put it. He will sweep
through the wards November /, 2 and 3,
if present plans are carried out.
M. F. Dunlap, Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer; Fred E. Eldred and
County Chairman Burke saw Mr. Bryan
in Buffalo on Saturday and got from him
a promise to spend the last three days
of the campaign in Chicago.
Republican managers from all over Illi-
nois were at the Great Northern head
quarters today reviewing the political sit
uation in the State. Members of the State
committee were present and the princi-
pal information passed around was that
the completed canvass of the State shows
a Republican majority of $4,000 outside
of Cook county.
The Legislature, which will elect a
successor to Senator Cullom, is worrying
the Republicans. 1t is conceded by both
sides that if Chicago goes Democratic the
Legislature is lost to the Republicans.
If it goes Republican the Legislature will
be Republican.

THE RETIRING AND INCOMING
PRESIDENT.

The State Agricultural Society could
not have selected President who is
better fitted for the position than
Gen. w. r. Cox, of Edgecombe. The
friends of the State Fair-and their
name is legion-will congratulate the
association upon Gen. Cox's accept
ance of the position. Gen. Cox mas
been called to many stations of honor
and has filled every one with credit
to himself and the State. AS far
mer, he deserves to rank among the
best and most successful in the State.
He has habit of succeeding at what
ever he undertakes, and his acceptance
of the position insures a successful
Fair in 1901.
President McNamee has made a
model President and has won the graf
itude and appreciation of the whole
State for making the Fair of 1900 one
of the most successful in the history
of the South.

WHY BRYAN WILL WIN.

One of the leading business men in
Baltimore, who opposed Bryan with
all his power in 1896, in private let
ter to friend in Raleigh, received
yesterday, said:
Il heard Bryan last night speak to
thousands and acres of people. He
made the best speech I ever heard.
He ought to be elected and MUST BE.
y The Citizens Democratic AS
ISOLATION is only about two weeks old
and we number 1,7OO members and are
doing some good work"
This is an indication of the silent
change that has been going on during
the campaign. This gentleman is one
of hundreds of quiet business men
who will vote for Bryan this year who
opposed him four years ago. There
are many more of them than is gen
orally supposed as will be seen on
Tuesday night of next week.
