five thousand, and that it will require an
official connt to determine the result.
Some Republicans say Bryan merely
carried the State, and some Democrats
admit that Russell is elected Governor
by several thousand, Republicans say,
without doubt, Russell gets over fifteen
thousand maj .rity if the returns hold
out Strowd, fusion nominee for Con

cans. 18. Two Senatorial districts to
hear from will be Democratic.
Holton says the twenty Representa
tives to hear from, will be equally di
vided between all three parties.
Chairman Ayer says he has few re
turns, but tbe Legislature will be large-:
ly anti-Democratic Chairman Holton
said Senator Prltchard will be re-elected,
as enough Popolists are committed to
return him to the Senate. Holton con
cedes Settle's defeat.
At one time it -was thought ; that
Mas 3U would possibly carry tbe State
but this is despaired of. This opinion
obtained becauss ot failure of Populists
who used Russell stickers to vote for
Reynolds.
Chairman Maniy laid to-night at ten
o'clock: "Indications point to Watson's
defeat by about five thousand majority.
I fully expected his election."
. Official returns at Democratic bead
quarters, from nearly all the counties,
give JJryaa. 18.928 nnjwityi L'.nney's
and Pearson's election is conceded.
Kitcbia will be the only Democratic
Congressman. Rollins7 Smothers and
Anderson are elected to the Senate from
the Ninth district Nine Republican
Represenutives are also elected.
The most remarkable incident of the
election is the vote in Jackson county,
Republican and Democratic candidates
for the Legislature receiving a tie vote.
Tne Governor will have to call another
election.
Small majorities predominate and In
all Instances Democrats were worsted.
A Republican and a Democrat were
elected to the Legislature from Guilford.
Each received s maj arity ot one vote
over his opponent
, Bailey, of North Carolina, who com
piled Russell's figures, says his maj mty
will be 14.000. Mitchell county gives
McKinley and Russell 1,237 majority.
Russell carries Edgecombe by 900.
Chairman Manly says it is impossible
to tell about Sute officers. Douglas
will run behind tbe State fusion. The
majorities compare closely with major
ities of 1894.
Chairman Manly figures Bryan's ma
jority ia the Sute at 15,000. Republi
can returns, official and semi-official,
give . Russell 12.000 majority. Other
counties not heard from will not materi
ally change these figures.
Raleigh, November 8, 12 18 p.
Holton concedes the Sute to Bryan.
Major Grant says there is a chance of
electing one or two McKinley electors.
Holton's latest estimate of Russell's
majority is 12,800. Guthrie's vote is
larger than was expected. Holton says
it is from 80,000 to 85.000. Chairman
Holton leaves tbe city to-morrow. He
said at midnight, the Republicans will
have seventy-five members of the Legis
lature, or eleven short of a majority
sufficient to Choose the United States
Senator.'.- -

Republican Chairman Holton said at
1180 o'clock: I" concede that Bryan
geu 12 000 majority in North Caro
lina. Tbe Populists will co-operate
with us to elect a Republican Senator.'
A Republican committeeman says the"
Republicans have endeavored to aid in
tbe election of Populists friendly to tbe
re-election ot Senator Pritchard. The
olds appear to be that the latter will be
elected, though the Populists really hold
tbe balance of power and can name the
Senator if they should decide to do so.
A Populist State Committeeman says
the Populisu will name a silver man icr
Senator. The Democratic estimate of
the Legislature is 57 Republicans. 47
Populisu and 44 Democrats, with 18
seats in doubt Most of tbe latter will
be either Populist or Republican, it is
thought
