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

(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

“I am satisfied that the Republican
candidates for President and vice-pres

“The campaign has been conducted
with a. much smaller fund than any

'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

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

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

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.

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.

DOWNS TAR HEELS
Sixteen to Naught is the
Record of the
Game.
Norfolk Va.. Nov. s.—Georgetown
University defeated the University ot
North Carolina in football here today
by a wore of 16 to 0. 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. Georgetown then kicked
to Carolina, She advanced the ball to
the middle of the field, but was forced
to punt. Georgetown secured the ball
and soon made another touch down
hut failed to kick goal. The last time
Georgetown kicked to Carolina and
she carried the bull well down in
Georgetown’s territory, but lost it on
downs . Then Georgetown brought the
ball to the center of the field. Here
she sent one of her backs through
Carolina’s line and by a strong inter
ference aru' hard kicking, hiking, hik
ing. he rushed over for a touch down.
No goal. Time up; score 16 to 0.
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.

Virginia Defeats the Teclis.
(By the Associated Press )
Richmond, Va., Nov. 5. —The Uni
versity of Virginia defeated the Vir
ginia Polytechnic Institute at football
here today by the score of 5 to 0. The
only mirk made was due to a touch
down by E. H. Johnson, scored af
ter a twenty yard run early in the se
cond half. A try for ar easy goal was
a failure. The remainder of the game
was fiercely contested, the University
being unable to gain consistently
against the strong V. P. I. line. Hot!
shies resorted to kicking tactics.
A DEAD DOCK.
A. & M. Meets its Match in S. C. Uni
versity.
The garni* of football yesterday be
tween the elevens of the University of
S. C. and the A. & M. College, furn
ished a big surprise to the Red and
White, no score being made by either
side.
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.

May Be a Stylish One, But It Makes '
Trouble.

style.” but the modern hat for men has !
lots to answer for.
