2 PARKER, SAYS THE EAGLE'S LAST POLL New York His by Seven ty-five Thousand. A WHIRLWIND FINISH No More Dramatic Close to an Election Has Been Seen Than This With Its Startling Exchange of Charges Between Presi dential Candidates. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Nov. s.—With a sensa tional and dramatic exchange of charges anti replies between the candi dates one of the most remarkable presidential campaigns of recent times was practically brought to a close to night. It was not expected that much more of importance will take place/ before the election, though a few be lated meetings will he held and some statements and claims may be issued. The whirlwind finish predicted, two months ago has been realized. The unusual features of the candidate at tacking hi? opponent in ottlce and forcing him into making a direct reply followed by a rejoinder from the can didate is a novelty and furnished the main topic of conversation where pol itics was discussed today. Got the Ginger They Asked For. Judge Parker upon the public plat form marked an epoch in the political campaign of 190 s, for up to that time it had been apathetic and uninterest ing. From his tirst speech to the last In has been growing more and more vigorous and more direct in his as sert i or, s, to the elation of the Dcuao c rats who have clamored for more life and ginger in the canvas. The Republican canvass also lacked inter**:-! until the Cabinet officers. Sen ators and men close to the President began making replies to Judge Par ker's charges, but their part in it was insignificant compared to the bomb exploded by Mr, Roosevelt in his state ment printed this morning. t'p to within three weeks of the election the campaign was remarkable j.,r its apathy and the seeming lack of interest which the voters were taking in the canvass. There were man; meetings but as a rule they were not largely attended ncr did the people show the intense interest that nas marked other campaigns. There has been also an absence ol monster meet ings, all day parades theatrical d.s play, noise and red tire that have char acterized the closing days of former campaigns. . , Interwoven closely with the presi dential canvass has been ihe campaign of New York .State. For many years the pivotal State, the arid ter of presi dential elections, the Empire Slit° th.s year has been regarded as abso lutely essential to the success of one party, and has been believed to be recesary to the other because ot the impression that a public sentiment which will carry New York will carry the country. In some localities the bmtr fight overshadows that of tne national contest and the latter is le garded a ? the auxiliary instead ot the principal ir. the campaign. State issues have been put forward most prominently in New Y'ork. New Jersey. West Virginia and Wisconsin, which were classed as doubtful tor the Presidency. '1 lie Change of Issues. The issues upon which the cam paign has been fought have changed. The personality of the President and his public acts, the policy of the Re publican party on the several ques tions before the people formed the basis of Democratic attack and Re publican defense. The money issue nf 1X96 and 1900 did not appear, the tariff has figured to some extent, but the all absorbing question and the one which made a whirl-wind finish pos sible was the attitude of the Demo cratic candidate regarding the trusts and corporations and his continued as saults upon the chairman of the Re publican National Committee. Judge Parker made this issue the issue of his party and forced the letter of defense from his opponent. What others have said or may say and what managers may claim or deny, all goes for nothing in the face of the remarkable spectacle of the two presidential candidates closing a con test with public utterances of such vigor and directness that no one can mistake the meaning. Eagle and Herald Forecasts. The Brooklyn Eagle last Sunday published a poll which indicated Park er's plurality in Greater New Y'ork as 181;.022 and Herrick’s in tiie same dis trict as 180,072. These figures also give Parker 97,863 plurality in the State. Tomorrow the Eagle will issue the figures from its final poll. The paper will say. The results given today are based upon data gathered from returned cards sent indiscriminately to about sixty thousand voters who registered 4in the four days of registration. The Eagle’s New York figures give a total indicated Parker plurality in Greater New Y’ork. of 180,0» 1 and an indicated Herrick plurality in Greater New York ol 233,919. The Eagle will also print a fore cast of the vote in New York State outside of the city, “based upon fig ures not gathered by the Eagle nor according to its method? but obtained from trustworthy sources. These in dicate u Roosevelt plurality of 102,- 187 above the Bronx, a Parker plu rality of 177,548 below the Bronx, a Parker plurality of 75,421 in the State.” The New York Herald tomorrow' will say that the results of its poll in dicate that Roosevelt will have 264 votes and Parker 159 in the electoral college, with Colorado, Delaware and Montana uncertain, but probably Re publican, and Nevada uncertain, but probably Democratic. New' . Y'ork {State is assigned to neither party, but is classed simply as uncertain. Con necticut. New Jersey, West Virginia.

CLAIMS IV DIFFERENT STATES. j What They Say of West Virginia, Wyoming, Wisconsin and Mary land. (By the Associated Press.) Parkersburg, W. Va., Nov. 5. —The Wist Virginia campaign closed tonight with both candidates for Governor too tired out to make speeches. Each side seems confident of the result Should the Democrats cany their State ticket with a large plurality ir might mean that Parker and Davis would be carried along with the State ticket to an extent sufficient to give them a plurality in 'he State. Milwaukee, VVis., Nov. 5. —That the Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors will carry Wisconsin on Tuesday next ther * seems to be no question. The Lafoi btte officials believe that the governor will be re-elected by a plurality rang ing between 50,000 and 75,000. The Democrats figure from their reports that Peck will carry the State from 25,000 to 4 0,000. Baltimore, Md., Ncv. s.—Democratic State Chaii man Murray Van Diver in a public statement made today, said “Our party is united as perhaps it nas never been before and the State will give Parker and Davis 15.000 ma jority, and we will certainly elect four Congressmen, a gain of two.” Republican State Chairman John Tlanna, admits that the State will be close. “Th» quiet vote, howeVer. “he raid, “will carry Maryland for Roose velt and Fairbanks and we elect four Congressmen, <f not the whole six.' STATEMENT BY' EOIITELY'OU. Ills \ntiky-Pankvship Says lie Has Been Good. (By tfie Associated Press.) New York, Nov. 5. —Chairman Cor lelyou of the Republican National committee, late to-night issued the fol lowing statement: “I am satisfied that the Republican candidates for President and vice-pres ident will carry every Northern State with the possible exceptions of Mary land and Nevada and will have not less than 314 out of the 476 votes in the electoral college. “The campaign has been conducted with a. much smaller fund than any campaign for the past twelve years. 'Hie funds this year, although made up of contributions from more than four thousand persons, have been about one-half as large as the Re publican fund when President McKin ley was elected in 1896, and about one-half as large as the Democratic fund when President Cleveland was elected in 1 892. Every part of this fund has come from voluntary contri butions made without demand, impor tunity or pressure, and without any agreement, pledge, promise, assurance or understanding express or implied regarding the policy or the action of the administration locking to any benefit or advantage to any contribu tor except thtf benefit which will come to all business and to all our people from the continuance of Re publican policies and Republican ad ministration.” Davis Relieves llis State Safe. (Bv the Associated Press.) Burlington, W. Va., Nov. 3.—Henry G. Davis, Democratic vice-presidential candidate, closed his campaign here tonight. Just what Mr. Davis thinks ot" the canvass may be learned from the statement he made tonight; “From all that I have seen, and from what I have heard from all parts of the State, it is my bebef that the Democrats will carry West Virginia or both the State and national tickets on Tuesday next.” APPLAUD AYCOCK Cheered to the Echo at a Great Meeting in Baltimore. (Special to News and Observer.) Baltimore, Mr., Nov. s.—Governor Aycock spoke, here to-night to an au dience that crowded the large Lyric Theatre and cheered his every utter ance. Former Attorney-General John P. Poe presided and Chairman Murray Vandiver and the leading Democrats of the State w r ere on the platform. From the time Aycock began until he closed, the applause was frequent and enthusiastic. He caught the au dience from the start and at one time right in the middle of his speech .they gave “Three cheers for Aycock.” He discussed particularly the atti tude of the Republican party and Mr. Roosevelt toward the South. He told of the punishment of Committeeman Robinson for refusing to attend the banquet at which a negro was guest. Then he told several anecdotes that caused hearty laughter. Referring to the threat to reduce the representation of the South he declared that no power on earth could induce the South to return to the rule of ignorance ana lawlessness. This aroused ~reat ap plause. When at the end of his speech. Sen ator Gorman and others crowded around Aycock to congratulate Jiim arid large boquets of flowers were handed him, the crowd broke forth into wild cheering and applause that lasted several minutes. Senator Gorman then spoke arid in his speech paid Aycock a high corr»- pliment, saying that as regards the adoption of white supremacy Mary land doffed her hat to North Carolina, which had written a new declaration of independence from negro rule that Maryland would adopt next year. Maryland Democrats are enthusias tic and say that the State is as sare for Parker as is North Carolina. Dr. Moment Will Speak. This afternoon at 4 o’clock Rev. A. H. Moment. D.

RIG CIRCUS DAY AND A FINE SHOW Forepaugh-Sells Pleased Two Mighty Crowds. HOW THE SHOW WENT The Old-time Circus Acts Performed With Dash and Spirit and Many New Features Delighted the People—Zouaves. Eddy Fam ily. Horsemanship, Etc. The weather man got a free ticket to the circus yesterday. The morning broke* cool and clear over muddy roads lined with the wagons of the country folks who, disappointed the day be fore, came into the city by the hun dreds, the cars on Hillsboro street groaned with the burden of show goers and the hacks made of Hills ehows ami the booths of the venders Thousands of others trudged on loot the distance of over a mile to the grounds on “Cameron Field. There the big tent, the “spinning Jenny,” the smaller terns of the side show's and the booths of the veners of lunches and lemonade made a pic nic in tiie mud which was patronized to the fullest extent by hundreds who. lacking the price of admission to the big show, flirted with tiie minor at tractions of the “outside.” Within the big tent the scene was one of the most circusy description. The big elephants, a herd, some of them veritable mountains of flesh that are read of in vouth in the geographies stood in the centre of the menagerie tent wagging at both ends and occa sionally voicing a scream that evoked clamor from the women and caused the confident crowd of pop-corn feed ers to give ground precipitately. In another corner the camels, some ol them with their young, held a gaping crowd, as did the cages of tiie lions*, the tigers, the leopards and the polar bears. These, several cages of them, caused many manifestations of wonder by the peculiar swinging motions of their heads from side to side. “What is that?” said the maiden to the swain as they stood before the cage. . The Swain, his eye shitting guiltily to the placard with the name, made prompt answer and proud. “That's the Poland bear.” “Well, don’t that beat all!” replied the maid in such evident admiration that it was doubtful whether the ex pression appertained to man or bear. “Lawcl, he done gone crazy,” ex claimed an old negress with a ted bandanna over her head and a dimutive white boy on her arm. He sho clone lost he mind.” as the huge beast wagged from side to side like the quick pendulum of a clock. Through the animal tent the crowd surged in a happy, conglomerate stream. The town people formed a larger portion of the crow’d than usival on account of the rain the day before and the mud yesterday. But the old people from the farms, the clusters of boys afraid to get out of touch with one another in the immensity of the crowd, the courting couples with their fingers interlaced in naive and uncon scious affection, were all on hand. Edging in as nearly as they dared to the elephants, bright faced boys filled their curving trunks with peanuts and pop-corn and in front of the cage of clambering monkeys delighted chil dren stood four deep. Above it all rose the same old wel come sounds of the circus, the cries of lemonade and peanuts and pop coni. the voices of the animals ming ling in a distinctive chorus; above it all rose, more faintly than usual on account of the water that oozed up through the straw the blend of the old time circus smell, from stable and animals and the straw that littered the ground. Through this scene streamed the crowd, and it was plain to see that the sights and the smells alike were good to them. The big-eyed little boys and their larger “buster” broth ers edged always to the front with the silent wonder or impertinent excite ment of youth. City ladies paused in front of the cages holding by the hand timid little girls with flaxen hair. The common run of citizens paraded along in open joy; while others affected the old gag ol the educational face. It was a typical circus and a typical crowd, and it may be said here that both were well worth seeing. Editor J. W. Bailey—nicknamed “Rev.” for his deeds and his occupa tion —paused with his friend, Editor Clarence Poe to regard the Antelope and the Gra, the venerable Cebum Harris walked about sedately with his stick, his renewed youth kindling in hit, eye; Mr. and Mrs. (’. M. Busbee, Mrs. F. P. Tucker, Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Root chaperoned enthu siastic parties in the reserved seat sec tion; Capt. Williamson was there with his rose; Henry Bates smiled broadly on the equestriennes. Sergeant Pike was among the fortunates with a com plimentary ticket; there were Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Gattis, Jim Robbins, Mr. and Mrs. Miles Goodwin; Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Litchford; Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Marshall: Dr. Winston “fiddling while Rome burned” in the A. and M. football game at the Fair Grounds; Willis Briggs. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Whitaker; Dr. Norwood and Dr. Delia Dixon-Carroll, A. B. Andrews, Jr., Bartell Wise, Judge Womack, Col. W. T. Leach and hundreds of other prom inent folk, all enjoying themselves to the utmost. It was plain to see yesterday that the circus loses none of its popularity with the years. The tent where the performances were given was an immense canvass, capable of seating at a pinch twenty five thousand people. Its tiers of seats were filled comfortably with the exception of those near the entrance, which werq empty. After the crowd had been amused by the antics of the solemn Dutchman in the dress suit, who worked the fake camera on unsuspecting sitters, the grand entry swept in with a fan-fare of trumpets, a roll of drums, the crash of symbals and the big show was on. Everybody knows what happens at a circus. Tbs performing elephants, the tumbler* in pink tights, the trapese performers, the leap for life, the bare-back riding, the jump through the flames, the trained horses and the hippodrome races, all came off on schedule time. It may be said truthfully, however, that till of these features were performed yesterday with a dash and spirit and excellence that has not been noted here in many years. A circus act does not. pall, however well known it may be. Its vaiuo is in its execution. The whirl ing leap of a woman through the air to grasp the strong hands of the man suspended to catch her cannot fail to thrill, however certain one may’ be that the danger is all in the looks of the thing. The antics of the clowns have in their prehistoric quality a humor that holds to the end of the chapter and the chariot races and the other contests of the “hippodrome” never fail to arouse thundering cheers, notwithstanding the fact that the man is always put up only to he out footed by the lady. The Forepaugh-Sells Brothers aggregation carried off all these stunts with a charming perfec tion. There were several features that were especially worthy of e0... uenda tion. of these the company of Zou aves perhaps carried off the palm. Their drilling was a marvel of pre cision. As they broke and whirled about on the stage in intricate man oeuvres, marching with a quick-step that it strained the ear to mark the rythm of coming into instant and unvarying alignment and bringing down their sixteen guns with a thump that sounded like that of an individ ual, manipulating their rifles in whirl ing circles of steel that paused in their revolutions on the second, the crowd burst into prolonged and enthusiastic cheering. When, finally, the com pany broke from the stage and ran to and scaled a fourteen foot wall with their guns, in scarcely more time titan a second to tiie man, the applause was deafening. “Mamma, what is a Zouave? Why don’t they have a flag?” asked a little hoy of his mother in the reserve seats. “A* Zouave don’t belong to any army, dear,” replied the mother. “They are natives of some part of Africa.” The Eddy family’, two men,; a half dozen women and a little girl dressed in yellow did some of the most clever paramid and tumbling work ever seen iit Raleigh, the somersaulting of the girl of the family hieing highly sen sational. \ Miss Maud Hayward, who is a na tive of Richmond, Va., drove a horse around the ring and made him do all the tricks known to horsemanship, the best part of this act being that Miss Hayward was almost as good looking as the horse. \ The bare back riding was excellent and the female riders comely, as were the women who did the rope walking—one of the best things in tiie show—and the trapese work. The “loop-the-loop.” which closed the performance, was thrilling while it lasted, but one didn’t have time to lie alarmed since it was over before one could draw two good breaths. Altogether the circus was a success and deserves liberal patronage. The order was excellent and there were no skin games or attempts at them. The management seems to he doing a thoroughly legitimate business anti they certainly’ g.ve value received. As the noted preacher of antiquity is wont to say: ‘ Really, my dear, it would not do to miss the chance of learning something of natural history in 'the menagerie!” The menagerie is there —and so is tiie show. The parade, which came off prompt ly, w’as one of the best ever seen in the city. It was viewed by many they .sands and missed by other thous ands whe took it for granted that ii would not at rive *m time. Another way in which the circus broke a record was in not cutting the evening performance. If anything the exhibtion at night w’as belter than that by day. THE FINISH AT IMAN. A Gram!

The weather was fine for ball playing and the game was railed at 2:30 p. m. . VVlien the teams lined up it looked hke they were pretty evenly matched and that the winning team would win. hv a small score, it either should be allowed to score at all. Georgetown v as fully fifteen pounds heavier than Carolina and won the game only by outweighing the Tar Heels. Carolina won the toss and chose to kick off. Carpenter booted the leather for Carolina, placing it beyond the goal line. Then Georgetown kicked nff to Carolina from the twenty-five yard line. Carolina soon gave up the ball on downs. Georgetown then advanced the ball some few yards, but was forced to kick. Carolina received the ball on her twenty yard line and carried it to Georgetown’s three yard line and by some of Carolina’s men missing the signal she lost the ball. Georgetown then advanced the ball some few yards and the first half was up; score 0 to 0 In the second half, Carolina kicked to Georgetown again. She advanced the hall but soon lost it. Then Ja toeks for Carolina tried a drop from ike field, but it was blocked and Georgetown got the ball. Georgetown then scored her first touch down and kicked goal.

No one ever saw a prettier game than the first half. In fact the Tar Heels played all over the Catholics, but in the last half Carolina was wind ed. Georgetown made her distance by heavy line plunging, being unable to make any distance around ends. While Carolina spade distance any where she could call a play, yet she made more ground on end runs. Caro lina's whole team was a star, a big star, but Stewart and Carpenter espe cially did line work. It will be espe cially gratifying to all of North Caro lina to learn that Givens, George town’s center, who stands about pounds stripped, did not put it all over Stewart. Carolina’s center, ns he (Giv ens) had boasted that he would do, but in turn, had h put all over him and was forced to “call for the calf rope" and a substitute was brought.

The South Carolinians played a plucky game and although they never put the A. & M. goal in danger suc ceeded in forcing the fighting several times for good gains. The team is a light one but plavs foot-ball. The play for the most part was In the centre of the field, the nearest the A. & M. team came to scoring being when they lost the ball on South Carolina’s 18 yard line. South Carolina made too ineffectual attempts at field goals, and made several good gains around the A. & M.’s right end. The A. & M. play was, on the whole, good on the de fence and weak on offensive play ex cept for a time during the second half. Neither Wilson. A. & M.’s crack back, nor Oliver, S. C.’s strongest man were In the game. The star playing for A. & M. was done by Abernethy. Gregory and Hadley; for South Car olina by the ends, and McGee, the midgett quarter back.
