result is rife at Washington and con
fident claims are being made on each
side. The ' Washington Times of
yesterday sayst'?
"Greatest interest is felt this week
in the so-called doubtful states.
Confidentclaims-are being made
at the republicaft.r democratic and
populist headquarters concerning
these commonwealths., Each side is
claiming each state by a sweeping
majority, -vi'
There seems to be more foundation
1q the claims made4, by the republi
cans. It is generally admitted that
their estimates are . based on more
reliable figures than those of either
tbe democrats' or the populists. The
republicans have made their polls
on reports from well-seasoned ' cam
paigners and each man has been in
structed to report the weak spots.
The polls of the democrats and popu
lists have been made by men who
can see no reason in any state going
for McKinley. These men, for In
stance, will not admit that 'there is
possibility of West Virginia, Mary

TO PREVENT FRAUD.'
Maj. Graham Hold That Eleetion Officers
.. . Should Cheek all BaUota.
, Maj. John W. Graham has made
the following interpretation of the
election law, which is of some inter
est Maj. Graham's opinion was
prepared for Chairman Holton and is
being sent out by him in the form
of a circular.
If the board of election perform
their duty, they will have entered
on the poll books not only tbe name
of every person who shall vote, but
also in a column for the purpose,
whether he votes one or both of the
two separate ballots, directed by
section 18, of chapter 159 of Laws of
1895.- If the poll books are not so
ruled' these columns ought to Be
made.1" The number of votes for
tGovernor and State officers, for in
stance, should correspond with the
number of names on the poll books,
unless some of the voters have only
voted for Presidential electors, or
for members or for the Judges of
the Supreme or Superior Court, and
these facts would appear by the
names of Governor and State officers
having been cut off the separate bal
lots directed to contain all the above
named officers aod Presidential elec
tors by the first clause of section 18,
or by failure of some of the voters to
vote this ballot at all, which fact
would or ought to appear on the poll
books, that only one ballot was
cast by the voters named, who
were checked with only orii ballot
cast, namely, that for members of
Assembly and county officers. So
also the number of names on the poll
book should correspond with the
number of rotes cast for the legis
lators and county officers unless there
had been a failure to vote the ballot,
which should appear from the poll
book, and when only a part of it had
been voted, this fact would appear
by inspection of the ballots on the
count, and what officers, if any, had
been omitted.
If there are more votes for gover
nor in the proper box, or in the two
boxes, than there are names on the
poll book, it is evident that there
has been no mistake of the officers of
the election, but some illegal votes
have been deposited, or a failure to
record the name of some voter on the
poll book, which ought not to occur,
as two poll books should be kept at
each precinct to prevent any mis
take, and the names numbered as
they are taken down.

AFTER JIM YOUNG.
Nelson O'aelly Teenes a a. Address to tha
' '. Eepnblleaa Voters of Waia.
An' address to the republican
voters of Wake county has been is
sued by Nelson O 'Kelly, indepen
dent republican- candidate for the
legislature in which Jim Young's
record is attacked and exposed.' '
The following reasons are given ,
why Jim should not receive repub-.
lican support:
1. James H. Young, recently
nominated in a packed convention,
in our opinion is unfit to represent
the republican party in general, and
the colored republicans in particular, ;
of Wake county, because of the fact
that be agreed that Mr. OTCelly ?
should ' have the ' nomination and
then packed the convention against
him. Soon after the democrats nomi
nated Bryan and Sewall, tbe said
James H. Young made speeches for
them in se 'eral plac. s in this county
and bolted tbe republican ticket,
making the statement in his paper
and elsewhere that McKinley, the
republican nominee for president
must be taken down in this state,
which meant that we would have to
vote the democratic ticket. The said
Young is not now making any
speeches for McKinley. We do not
know where he stands, on silver or
gold, and cannot trust him. The
said Young we believe is unstable in
his political ways and will not do to
represent us when he is in the
democratic party today and the re
publican party tomorrow.
2. We also recall the record of the
said James H. Young in the last leg'
islature. He was elected to that
body by Republicans, but after his
election he voted with the Demo
crats in that body more times than
once, ne voted to appoint ttiree
Democratic magistrates over the
protest of the leading Republicans
of the city of Raleigh and Wake
county, white and black. He also
refused to introduce a bill for pre
venting prisoners who are confined
in the work house simply forposts,
from wearing stripes; he also voted
to seat Capt. Peebles in the contest
from Northampton county over a
good Republican who was consider
ed to be entitled to the seat; even
Capt. Peebles himself, it is said, did
not expect to be seated. He also
voted for Edwards & Broughton. to
hayo the State printing against
Barnes Bros., (good Populists) and
Goslin, (a good Republican) whose
bids were fair and reasonable. He
voted for Bronghton and other
Democrats during the legislature
and is now abusing them on the
stump. We think he is inconsistent'
He also fought against the bill that
gave1 six per cent, interest to the
poor people who borrowed money in
North Carolina.
3. James H. Young said that he
was his own boss when he was
elected to the legislature and would
do as he pleased. We do not want
any bosses. When we elect men to
represent us they are our servants .
Again, the said James H. Young, if
he continues in his career, will
break up the Republican party by
bis effort to draw the color line and
shut out our white friends from par
ticipating in the conventions.
