'TL!s has been the hardest 'elec
tion the political student," lie said,
in talking with a Washington Times
reporter, "ever known. It has been
tLe hardest kind of work to figure
out the results m the various con
cressional districts. I have tried
to be as conservative as I could,
"To start with we could not count
Kb any certainty on any districts
except in the East " The New Eng
land states, New York, New Jersey,
65 1 Pennsylvania I found to be
ri ttty sure figuring. Outside of
t' rc nine states I could .not count
t a more than fifty sure districts. So
Las made the work very hard
''I have based my estimateson the

t careful reports from precincts
ta J counties all over the country.
I t ' 1 to weigh ererxthing that
c , " J le presented for and against
the candidate and I think T have
come pretty near the result
"As to the electoral ticket I have
this to saj . : If there is to be a re
publican tidal - wave, the sixty-two

will be swept into the republican
column, v There is every-evidence
that such will be, the case. " . .
HOFFMAN TO RESIGN.;
No Coneolldatlon Between the Seaboard
' and the Soothern. ,
The Washington Starof yesterday
afternoon gives the following Inter
esting news : ' - -. r
President R. Curzon lijoffiuan of
the Seaboard Ai Line Rail way Com
pany will tender his resignation as
soon as the Ryan-Thomas syndicate
takes control of the property. There
will also be, it has been definitely
determined, 'no consolidation of the
Seaboard with the Southern, ' -.
Both these items of great public;
interest come to 'The ' Star from
sources that cavnotbedoubted. The
first was authorized to be made late
last evening by President Hoffmail
himself, who, continuing, said : "I
would not care to remain as presi
dent under the New York, syndicate,
Lnor do I believe that the syndicate
would want me, 1
' "Until the transfer do js take place
I shall continue as president of the
system and look after its interests
the-' same as"! have always' done.
When I retire from the presidency
of this 'system I am done v with the J
railroad business and shall give my
attention to my iron business. -
"I have accomplished my purpose
in trying to protect the interests -of
Baltimore. I insisted on Baltimore
being given lower rates to the south
than New York, and demanded a
differential. .v -j
If I was at the head of the new
syndicate I certainly would retain
Mr. St- John. ' He is. thoroughly
practical and a hard worker and
the best railroad man la the south
today, , " , . .
- Investigation by competent par
ties has shown that there can be no
consolidation of the .Southern and
Seaboard in the States of North Ca
rolina and Georgia at least, because
there is an act of the legislature of
each which - prohibits under severe
penalties the -consolidation ' of pa
rallel lines, and in those States the
two systems have that relation, -
"Nor Is it believed that there will
beany disposition, on the part of the
owners of either .line to raise rates
either in freight, traffic or passenger
travel to a point beyond that the
publio would ' willingly bear," for
aside from the fact that such acourse
on their part would be a bad busi
ness proposition it would almost
certainly provoke adverse legisla
tion which neither wants. . ,
Recent developments have shown
that there is a desire on the part of
both the Southern and the Seaboard
to concede rather than demand from
the publio. i "

" ' .-' '. Wewa at Bead- 4 . ' :'
-t-.i.S. ' -qnartera. v.r
Reports that were received here
today are to the effect that there is
a great breach Jn the populist party
and that, the rank and file of the
populist voters are siding iwith
Major Guthrie.- Hundreds of letters
and telegrams poured intodemocratio
headquarters giving the .most en
couraging news. V.r . -f ; : "-i;
Secretary John W. Thompson is
in hign feather. t"Maj, Guthrie's
address has changed many votes,"
he said, "audi the reports we have
received indicate that the Populists
throughout the State are with him.
We will make gains in every one of
the 1,694 townships in the State.
The reports we have received today
are, surprisingly large and they are
exceedingly encouraging. We will
carry the State.'"- ' : . . .
Ex-Judge Womack has been look
ing after much of Mr. Manly 'a work
during the chairman's absence and
he too Is very much gratified at the
turn of events. "We have received
many reports today,'- said: Judge
Womack ' 'and it is apparent that
consternation prevails in the ranks
of the fusionists.' ThePopul'i6ts are
Standing up to Guthrie everywhere,
though of course the office holders
are not included-" - -
The populists: are panic stricken.
There seems to be little doubt of
this. Republicans and Populists are
both bolstering up the cause of
fusion. -.
Chairman Holton is firmly of the
opinion': that ..Russell ' will receive
thousands of Populist votes on ac
count of Guthrie's course. He esti
mates that the Populist defection .to
Russell will be 15,000. . He says the
Populists Till never vote for Wat-
son.:'K:v '':' ;'&''. :, - -
Ohairman Ayef -said today tTCha
campaign is 'coming to a head.' The
lines are settled now and we await
the clash.
"Will Bryan carry the State" he
was asked. . ' .
I am makingnostatementsnow,"
was the chairman's reply.
Joe Rogers said that be saw sev
eral hundred Populists , yesterday
and they were all Indignant stGuth-
rie 8 address. ' ,
Otbo Wilson is quoted as . saying
that he desired Russell's election.
Maior Guthrie stated that he
would not make any reply to Chair
man Ayer. " He-did, however, make
the following statement before leav
ing the city this afternoon." 3 . ;
"111 leave it to the Populist voters
to say who has betrayed them. I
have practiced law thirty years and
spent most of my life in the trial of
cases in court and from my observa
tion and experience among men, if
the men who are now trying to con
vince the people that I have betray
ed the. Peoples party had had my ex
perience as alawyer, they would not
want' this issue presented - to the
people with the evidence ' before
them' : -
"In other words a lawyer knows
a liar when he sees him on the wit
ness stand, and most of the jurors
who try? cases can ordinarily find
out' the truth upon the evidence
presented to them;- I would rather
be cursed by the pie counter bri
gade in my own party before the
election than to have the people
curse me the balance of my Jife af
ter Ihe election--" r .
"I am a Populist with ; both feet
on the platform." v; r'
Populist j- leaders' TeaHzing that
Guthrie's address threatened, the
existence Of their, party, have made
desperate efforts to counteract its
probable effect Chairman Ayer has
a two column card in the Hayseeder
which will be scattered all over the
State.
; The Progressive "Farmer will get
out a special edition today contain
ing Ayer'B card as well as severe
criticisms of Guthrie's action. -
'The situation is desperate with
the Populists and they hope to brow
beat their people through the Popu
list machine. Chairman Ayer in bis
card attempts to make it appear that
Guthrie's address was inspired by
Democrats and issued from Demo
cratic headquarters. . ,
The Populist Chairman calls the
address treacherous and says: "The
first three lines of the address con
vey a gross and unpardonable insult
to tbe Jfeopie s party state commit
tee and every member of the party,
This is referred to by Maj, Guthrie
In these words: "Allured into the
camp of Mark Banna and politically
slaughtered, " t And after this out
rageous Insult, every true Popu
list In the State will avenge in some
way.", . - ' - i "
Mr; Ayer saysGuthrie's advise to
supportDemocrats would, if followed
result in the defeat of every Popu
list candidate. "
"If Democrtes are good enough to
vote for in the fifth and ninth dis
tricts, they are 'good enough in all
other Instances." V .
This will not be done by the Peo
ples Party in North Carolina, Guth
rie or no Guthrie. When this man
was nominated for Governor be was
not commissioned to ftlead the cause
of the Democratic, pajpy The 'con
vention, oeueved it 'Was committing
the interests of the party to a brave,
farelr ss and valiant j leader not to
one who would try to trail Its ban
ner just as the enemy is about to be
met He may . momentarily pull
down the party banner, but up it
goes the next instant and waves its
defiance at the enemy without a
break in the lines .and without re
gret for the loss of its erstwhile
bearer. "' -
It comes wftp bad "grace and gra
tuitous impertinence' for their eu-
bernatorial nominee .to advise a
"stratching" of the, barty ticket on
which his own name .appears, and
which name can be as easily
"scrtched" as any other.
Chairman Ayer; speaks of the ad-
dressas.'an unauthorized surrender. '
He says further : ''.'Maj. Guthrie de
clares he cares nothing about the
results of the greatest .compliment
and honor that the" Peoples Party
State convention could bestownon
any man, and this" gives the mem
bers of the party a fulj right to care
nothing about what becomes of him. "
"His course practically amonnts to
withdrawal fromfthe Peoples
party." ";-,f"
'It is the calm and Candid opinion
6f the State chairman that Major
Guthrie has ' forfeited all Tight to
tbe confidence of thfrmembers of the
Peoples Party. He Js, however,
still th"; part
name will appear on ,U the tickets
issued "from" PeOple' Party - State
Headquarters."
"A firm conviction of the state
chairman is that the course of, Maj.
Guthrie has been such as will make
It impossible for him to receive the
vote of the peoples party, and here
in advance of election day, it is de
clared that the number of votes cast
for - Maj. Guthrie, as the peoples
party nominee for governor, jnust
not and cannot be accepted as an
indication of peoples party strength.

THE AID ASSOCIATION
To Eqnlp the Surgical Department of tbe
Hospital.
. The Ladies' Hospital Aid Associa
tion held a very interesting and im
portant meeting Tuesday afternoon,
which was largely attended. Mrs.
Montgomery, the president, pre
sided. Future plans for tbe Association
were discussed at length It was
decided to devote all the energies of
the members of the Association in
the equipment of the operating room
in the new surgical pavilion, which
is in course of construction . While
the Association has many objects in
view for the bettermentand improve
ment of the hospital, this particular
work will be accomplished first of
all.
The association has considerable
money on hand, considering tbe
short time in which they have had
to secure it. The ladies have met
with gratifying success in raising
their fund and they will continue
theirefforts bypopularsubscription,
entertainments' and otherwise.
The reports of the various com
mittees were offered.
Work has actively begun on the
surgical pavilion, the foundation
having been laid. The pavilion is
to be located to the left of the hos
pital building and it will be similar
to the children's ward, correspond
ing in every respect with the ex
ception that it will be two stories in
heighth. The object in building
both anexes in symetry and dis
connected so to speak from the hos
pital proper, is with the view of
erecting a new hospital building,
where the old building stand. Both
of the new additions would in that
event be useful and ornamental as
they are now, without any modifi
cations or changes. The new hos
pital building is coming and it will
be at some date in the near future.
Mr. Alford Issues an Address.
Mr. G. B. Alford has issued a cir
cular address to the voters of the
State which be is sending out today
to all the postoffices in the district.
Mr. Alford's address is probably
two columns in length and we make
the following extract:
"In gathering hold of the flag
staff of the trailing banner of our
fathers, I have done so with the
highest patriotic motives. My own
election has concerned me but very
little. My greatest object and desire
has been that the good people of this
district, who are entitled to the
truth on both sides of this great
financial question, should have it
discussed before them. They are
the jurors; let them decide intelli
gently and unbiased. I have en
deavored wherever opportunity has
presented itself to give them the
sound money side fairly and impar
tially through tbe press and on the
hustings, from my honest convic
tions, founded on long study of the
question, having been a free silver
man myself before becoming better
informed. Let the question be set
tled as it may, I have done my duty.
I feel my skirts are clear. Withthisi
my friends, I leave" the matter with
you, trusting that the Great Director
of all righteousness may direct you.

63 degrees to 65 degrees of an aver
age crop, is accounted for by the
discovery, as picking progressed,
of the crop being slightly better
than was anticipated. Since this
estimate was made up and given to
the press, the Government report
has come to hand, showing a drop
in North Carolina cotton from 70,
September 1st, to 64, October 1st,
thereby confirming the present es
timate of this Department, as well
as that made here a month ago,
when a discrepancy of 7 points be
tween the report of this department
and the government report, was in
dicated. Corn is practically the same.
Tobacco has fallen during the
month 3 points, being now only 73
per cent.
Rice has declined 5 points, pea
nuts 4, and sweet potatoes have ad
vanced 3.
