' SOME FIGURES, '
. How the Cfludaslan Cnloulatet Victory
: for fusion. 1
t The Caucasian 61 this week will
contain the following: figures on the
coming "election, which,, it will be
observed, makes the prospect very
rosy for the fusion ticket. The Can
, casian says; ,
, v ' ..We do not intend to make a fore-
' ' cast or a prediction of the election
here, but we wish to present some
; figures for consideration, ' It is
given out that the census of 4890
. shows that there are 233,000 whites
of voting age in this State and 109,
000 blacks of voting age. According
to this there are more than two
whites to one black. ' -t ' '.;
v' But let us ee into the figures,
There .'has been some' increase, of
course, since 1890, but this increase
" will be .offset by : the num ber o
voters who-will not vote.; For our
present purpose we will admit that
- the entire number of whites and
blacks as given above will vote". We
v. start with 233,000 whites. , At least
60,000 of these are ' republicans.
'" Take 60,000 , from 233,000, and we
, have 173.D0O left, i Of this 473,000
there are about 68,000 pops, though
to be on the .safe , side we will say
, 50,000. Now take this 50,000 from
.173,000 and we have left i 123,000
white voters; and this Beems to be
about the maximum number of votes
that the democrats' will be able to
poll for tneir State ticket" '
Now let's Bee what kind of a vote
the co-operation ticket .of Populists
and Republicans may get. Begin
with' the 1097000 colored voters who
will vote the - co-operation ticket
quite solidly. Add to these 60,000
white republican votes, and we have
166,000 votes," . Now add to this the
50,000 populist votes and we have a
total of 219,000 -votes. So it seems
from this broad guage estimate that
the democrats may poll about 123,
000 votes for their state ticket, while
. the co-operationists may poll about
219,000 a difference of 96,000 in fa
vor of the co-operationists.
., In our opiniin these figures show
that the co-operation state and con
- gressional ticket is going to win by
one of, the biggest majorities ever
known in North Carolina. .

The statement that Major Guthrie
was to write a letter this week with
drawing from the gubernatorial race
in favor of Cy Watson has been made
vith'.'remarkable : persistincy by
friends of the Populist condidate. Jt

A letter-received this afternoon
from Maj' Guthrie; states that he

Chairman - Manly and chairman
Holton have sent out their state and
national tioketsto the various county
chairman.' The populists have not
yet sent theirs out. : ;.A
From the returns of .registration
received at democratic headquarters
it is evident that the Increased reg
istration is in nearly every instance
a democratic gain. , The simple, so
lution of the whole matter is that the
democrats who stayed at home in '94,
because of their hatred for Cleve
land's administration have had their
names put "on the registration books.
It every democrat who is registered
votes, Russell's defeat is certain.
Railway Commissioner Bedding

weeks canvass in . the western sec
tion of the state and he brings splen

'Everywhere I have been," Mr.
BeddingBeld says, "we have made

eighth and ninth districts, and I
consider the election of Kitchin,

circular today to his people. The
circular says we are within a few
days of theelectionand it appeals "to

The circular saysi .
The organ of the democratic com
mittee in its issue of yesterday at-
lempted'in a disgraceful manner to
array race against race, breathing
forth the spirit of Tillman and Alt
geld that inspired the Chicago con
tention to condemn tho action of the
president for suppressing .riot and
nrotectintr human life with its attack
on the integrity of the United States
supreme court Following vup this
same spirit, they are now attempt
ing to destroy the confidence of the
people inourown state courts, hoping
thereby to weaken- their authority,
that can only result in encouraging
lawlessness and crime. , We appeal
to all good eitizens who love their
state and "- its .institutions to go
peacably and quietly to the polls on
the day of election, remembering
when they cast their ballots that we
are confronted by a political organi
zation that hopes to install itself in
power by avoiding & discussion of
its past record .V We trust-that no
republican will hesitate to cast his
ballot where it will tell with greatest
force in the protection and preser
vation of a free ballot and , a' local
self-government, v without which
there can be no security for the per
sonal or political rights of any , man
in any state or community. All this
the republican party stands pledged
for in state and nation, x - - --We
make this last appeal, feeling
confident . that William ? McKinley
will b& elected President of the'

. ,The 'Atlanta Constitution of yes.
terday says ! "The ownership of the
Seaboard Air Line and the probabil
ities; of the Louisville and Nashville
becoming interested in that property
are still the absorbing topics of dis
oussion in railroad circles. Yester
day, it was thought by local railroad
men that the story that the Louis
ville and Nashville was trying to gej
possession of the Seaboard was ridi
culous. , Today well- posted men
think that there is a firm foundation
for the story. .
Railroad, men have' been studying
the maps of the various roads and
have come to the conclusion that the
LouisTille, and Nashville would be
greatly benefited by acquiring the
Seaboard.. The Louisville and Nash
ville competes with the Southern
for business from the middle states,
Tennessee Kentucky Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana and the gulf states
all furnish .fighting ground for the
two - systems. The L and N. con
trols the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St, Louis and . the Western and
Atlantic, which . put it into Atlanta."
It also controls the Georgia, giving
it access to Augusta.' The Ryan
Thomas syndicate, purchasers of the
Seaboard," owns the Port Royal and
Augusta. A new line is now in
course of construction from Charles
ton to Allendale, on the Port Royal.
This new line, k .s understood, will
be -controlled by Ryan and his as
sociates.
By securing the Seaboard, with
the Port Royal and .Augusta, the
Louisville'and Nashville would have
direct lines to two seaports, Port
Royal' and. Charleston, and could
compete for all eastern water busi
ness. By the Seaboard, they would
reach Wilmington, Norfolk and Bal
timore, the latter city being the ter
minus of the Bay Line of steamers,
a part of the Seaboard's property.
Thus, it will be seen, the Louis
ville and Nashville, by securing the
Seaboard, would, put itself in shape
to compete with the Southern for all
business now handled by the latter
System.
Some think that, while the L. and
N. people may not purchase the Sea
board, they will enter into an agree
ment with the Ryan-Thomas syndi
cate by" which they will be put In
position to compete with the South
ern. At any rate, it is believed to be a
certainty that the Louisville and
Nashville people are negotiating
with the purchasers of the Seaboard
for a deal of some kind and the out
come of these negotiations are await
ed with great anxiety by all the
railroads of this section, as even a
friendly alliance of theSeaboard and
the Louisville and Nashville would
mean a change of the entire railroad
situation in the south.
Developments may be expected
this week in the Seaboard. They
will probably be on the line of pre
dictions made in this column. Evi
dence accumulates to prove that th?
Louisville and Nashville people
knew in advance of Mr. Thomas F.
Ryan's plans when he was arrang
ing to buyjthe Seaboard. If itshould
turn out that President Milton H.
Smith has an interest in the deal it
would immensely strengthen his
system. ; He has long wanted an
Atlantic port outlet and the Seaboard
would give him a good one with
practically another at Charleston.
The Louisville and Nashville touches
three great gateways on the Missis
sippi. St. Louis, Memphis and New
Orleans, and , three on' the Ohio,
Kvansville, Louisville and Cincin
nati, It also v reaches Mobile and
Pensacola en the gulf. . . , . '
Mr. Thomas F. Ryan, who is said
to be the coming man forpresident
ot the Seaboard, is an Alabamian by
births; The Central railroad reorga
nization was his first venture in rail
road financiering on a big scale.-
. A gentleman who arrived jester
dav from New - York said that the
talk'therein railway circles was to
the effect that Mr. E. St. John would
remain -with the Seaboard as- vice
president. His aggressive manage
ment was appreciated by the cftpi
talists whom it was hurting. I JtC

THE COAL TRUST
Said to Bj H3W Reaplaj a RUi Hir.
" ' - , , vest. ,! ',-
By Telegraph to the Press Visitor.
' Nkw Yo'hk, N. Y., CJpti 26 The
coal trust Is now ; reaping ; its har
vest. With the begiifning of cooler
weather and . fair - prospects of its
continuance, the wholesale and re
tail coal dealers who have been hold
ing off from placing: their orders,
hoping that the price of coal would
be reduced, have at last been com
pelled to replenish their depleted
stocks. ' The trust gets full schedule
prices, much to. the disappointment
of the dealers, who haJ- been hoping
for a break.'. " .
These orders,, whica were mainly
for chestnut and eggsizes, known
as store coal, have cne in so rapi
dly during the past three days that
the various companies- in the trust
have not been able to keep up'wlth
them. In most cases the railroad
coropanieshavfng pockets at tide
water at this port ar behind from
ten days to two ' weeks in their
orders; 'The collieries and coal
breakers at the mines are running
full time on these sizes, and the pro
duct is being rushed to the points
of consumption as raid ly as possible.
During the long summer months
the demand for coal was so light
that it was expecte? the need of
money might compel, feome member
of the coal combine .xo cut prices.
Dealers, therefore, refrained from
stocking up until it became positively
known thai no such rate-cutting
would occur. It became known late
in the season that the Wioney power
which had engineered, the trust and
Whipped all the companies into line
was strong enougbfo advance any
money actually needed by the com
pany, to be repaid when the season
for coal consumption actually com
menced. V ;S1 .
The advance in coal was ordered
about September 1st This was the
third advanoe of 05 "cents per ton
made by the companies. The pres
ent price charged by, the companies
for egg-coal is t4per gross ton at
this port. This is ; an advance of
$1.05 from the "price charged when
the companies xwre competing.
Stove coal has : been , advanced to
$4.25, which is $llBr per ton higher
than previous td thebrgsinization " of
the trust. Chestnut coal, which
sold at $2.95 previous to the com
bine, is now selling at $4 per ton.
The retail coal dealers' are now
charging $5.50 per ton, and the poor,
who are compelled to buy their coal
by the sack, are paying fully $10 per
ton for stove sizes. ; -
As the prices established "by the
trust for coal at tidewater is for
gross tons weighing 2,240 pounds,
the retailer in purchasing . ten tons
gains one net ton and 400 "pounds
additional. As his profit is $1.50
per ton on a gross basis, by reauo
mg it to net tons, he clears a profit,
without allowing for inoidential ex
penses, of $26.50 on a cash invest
ment of only $40 paid to the coal pro
ducer for his stock.

For so ne time past he has been en

Some weeks ago he came to Raleigh
and entered, into a contract to can

work was done and the special edi

invisible woof about him which kept
him from going away until the sur

not take the prospective groom long
to secure the necessary legal docu

Mr. and Mrs. Poland have known
