it is haril for the disinterested to
draw a fair infereiiee other than
from what a ould soin to le the

precedent as a basis for the zuher"
natorial succession, it is ratheWair
to presume that the successful can
didate will route from the eastern
Section of this State, and this being
conceded, the inference can
be till further carried out
in the belief that the most
active aspirant in that sec
tion will be the successful indi
vidual. That Lieutenant-Governor
Stedman "nils the bill in this res
pect is the current opinion, and
wafers to this elTect could be freely
gotten. The Lieutenant-Governor,
too, is busy nt the helm in the way
of "working the triggers.1 and to
gether with his host of admirers, is
earnestly striving to make "assur
ance doubly sure," The bulk of the
talk here marks him us the .favorite,
thus far, at least. Among the Re

there are more of them seeking the
honor of the gubernatorial nomina

Whether justified by any reasonable
cause or not, it is nevertheless true
that the lenders of that party are
far more hopeful of carrying rTorth
Carolina this year than they have
been since theVlectioti of Governor
Caldwell, and thousands- who had
heretofore become disheartened are
exhibiting great, confidence of suc
cess. In short, the political cauldron
is beginning to boil in earnest, - and
gives promise of one of the most
holy contested political battles ever
fought in the state.
