Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, April 3O.-There are 40
straws showing which way the Ad-
ministration (state) wind" is blow
ing in the Reynolds-Hancock Sena-
torial campaign, but there are more
than few indications that 4 large
percentage. Of Sandy Graham's 1886
2ubernato1ial wheel horses are goin g
to be found working actively for the
Fifth District Congressman before The
squabble comes to the voting stage
on June 1.
Just one example is to be found in
Pasquotank, where virtually the same
county Organization which carried the
Graham standard to victory there two
years ago is now bearing the torch
for Hancock.
In addition it can safely be put
down in the books that A. d. Non)
Folger is doing q BIT of quiet work
for Frank, though his own candidacy
for Congress naturally prevents him.
from beng openly active.
This correspondent does not intend
to convey the impression that the
Grahamites, as an organized body
are tearing their shirts for Hancock,
hut the outward manifestations all
point to the fact that IS individuals
they are favorably inclined to Frank 5
cause.
And be it said, support of these Ora
hamites IS by no means q handicap
to Frank. Sandys friends couldn't
put him over in the 1896 race, but
hey are quite influential in all quar-
serS of the state.
