.'Raleigh..- N.
!C, i November 4. The
political' tension is such las has not
been known lh ; North : Carolina since
11876. In eastern,; North Carolina where
the political Odi vision is ! along race
Jincs, the white people are aroused lo
uf
i
a point where theyfvrilf use every law
ful means to restore white supremacy.
There has been i no disturbance 'except
at threejJaees -and jthere Is $o appre
hension felt except In two s or three
counties ; where.. th contest is hottest
and even "there the conservatism of the
people probably ! will; avert trouble, i
In Wilmington, the democrats pay
voice in public i affairs. The condition
is "so intolerable that the business men
of .all parties hatp advised that the
,wh4te man's ticket, be "elected without
opposition. The republicans' of. New
Hanover agreed to' this 'and, there will
be only one ticket in that county.
Thousands of peopfe have returned to
the democratic party and huhdred? of
republicans will vote with the demo
crats on local tickets. I spoke tonight
at Southern' Pines;. It is. practically
populated -by northern settlers. With
.one ., possible exception, the northern
settlers of that 'resort will vote the
democratic state and local ' -tickets,
though a majority (of them are repub
licans upon national issues, t
if. This is true also pf the northern set
tlers In otherpartsj of North' Carolina.
rMany of ; them are1 fc.mong the most ac
tive workers" for jthe success of 1 the
democratic ticket. I The campaign has
resolved: itself moi-e- into a fight for
white rule and -protection- to property
: than one of political divisions, and"the
; democratic victory it seems, will i be
won--by the aid of jthe best, element in
! the republican:! and -populist parties.
Nearly all the : men of these parties
with large property. interests will vote
i with the democrat.. In the recent pa
i rade of 1,000, men wearing red shirts in
i Richmond . county jthere was .quite: a
s number of' white populists iind white
republicans. This ;shows their deep
interest in' the campaign and the tre
