In numbers of places reported, Rey- inolds, the republican nominee for Lieut-governor runs behind Russell. There is a probability of Mason's election.

The republican and Dem ocratic candidates for the legislature received a tie vote, - The Governor will have to call another election. Small majorities predominated and in all instances the Democrats were worsted. A republican and Demo crat was elected to the legislature from Guilford. Each received a ma iorlty of one vote over his oppo- nent In Mecklenburg JJowa and Clarkson were defeated for the legis lature by b majority of about 25.

Chairman tHol ton would not con cede Bryan's election in this state of the" defeat of Settle at noon today. Mr. Holton has returns from seventy counties which he elaims are semi official.,. They show a ma jority of 4488 majority for Bryan Mr. Holton thinks that the returns from the remaining counties, some of .which are strongly republican, ill be favorable to McKinley. Chairman Holton said as to the re sult : "I have no doubt but that it will take an official count to decide the result. I think McKinley will carry the state." At republican headquarters it is claimed that ,the House of represen tatives will have a republican ma jority. The figures they give out areJRepublican's 58 members, Demo crats 18 and Populists 26. The Senate is conceded to the Populists, PAYING ELECTION BETS. Mckinley Men are Having all the Fun a Washington The Washington Times of yesteri day says: Cheerless, gray skies today bent over dozens of happy McKinley men who had bactcd their opinions with bets. They were out for a good time at the expense of their political opponents and the weather only made thert feel more snugjind com? for table by contrast. Hats, suits, canes, opera glasses, cigars, drinks, money and wheel barrow rides all went, and the friends, of McKinley, international agreement, and a protective tariff, with safety for the business inter ests of the country, had the good of thera. ' Some Democrats declined to pay their debts till the figures are all In, and there is no longer the slightest question of the result upon which the wager was made. These were mostly cases where money was put up. and the contention was that once the money was paid, the law will not rieht any error. Unusual bets are as a rule being paid. At 10 o'clock t,his morning two young men appeared on rennsyi- vanla avenue, one In a wheelbarrow. the other at the handles. They came from the direction of George town. The man at the handles was stoutly built, muscular Garman, while the fellow riding was smaller A crowd followed them on their way down to Four-and-a-half street where they turned and went rapidly back. , - - In front of the Times office they stopped for. a rest, and the Bryan man explained that he stood by his politics and his bet. He .was to wheel his friend from seventeenth street to Four-and-a-half and back, and he had stopped, only once. f He Was gooa naturea- m , me iace of the unmerciful guying ol the Crowd. . Both refused to give their names, but said they were in busi ness near each other.

New Orleans and Texas PacifiS''iRaiIraad Company has 'oeen'" discriminating against them in' transportation of freight : be.t'veen Cincinnati and Louisville and Griffin; and the other has heen filed bSr Fuller EL Collowav of La Grange, Gi.', against the Louis ville and Nash vlle company because of similar conduct relative to freight out of New Orleins and intended for the plaintiff at L4 Grange. t Judge Clements will be accom panied by one pf the official steno graphers of the Commission, and the result 6t his examination will be re ported to the full commission for ac tion by that body. It is understood that as a result of the complaint the following cor porations will be brought into one ml-' A or tne otner or wb cases as interest ed parties Clye Steamship Com- pany, the South Carolina Railroad Company, the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, the Louisville and Nashville Rnilroad Company, the Nashville aim Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Western and Atlantic and many other railway companies. It is also stated, though official in formation relative thereto has not yet reached the,' commission, that Capt. D, G. Piirsb, chairman of the Savannah freight! bureau, will ask Judge Clements to hear testimony as to wny aavannan anu Atlanta are-losing much of their cotton trade and efforts will be made to prove that it is because of the cutting of rates from interior points to Char leston and Portsmouth, Va. It is said to be the intention of Captain Purse to bring to the attention of Captain Clements evidence to show that the traffic departments of some southern rdSlWtryfrnYcrthrg rates secredly, but that the shrinkage ap pears to come off the ocean line, though there are also cases, it is al leged, in which it can be demon strated that the railroads are in volved. - The Southern, the Seaboard Air Line and the Georgia are said to be giving a rate of 82 cents a hundred from Athens to Liverpool, when the standard rate ought to be about 96 cents. The Seaboari-is charged with favoring at Athens Charles E. Johnson & Co., of Raleigh, N. C the Southern. William Watson & Co., of Augusta, O. P. Heath A Co and Sanders Orr & Co, of Charlotte, while the Georgia road "is said to concede the cut to the Augusta Cot ton compress company The complaint of Capt. Purse further states that "Savannah buy ers have been driven out of the Athens market by reason of the fact that the houses mentioned u ac count of the secret cut can bid more for cotton than can the Savannah buyers." "We have," he says, "informa tion that cotton is being moved from Athens via Norfolk and Charleston to Liverpool at 82 cents per 100 pounds; 51 cents per 100 pounds, or $1.05 per bale, less than the estab lished rates yia Norfolk, and 19 cents yerlQO pounds, or 95 cents per bale, less than established rates via Charleston . If these cuts in rates fall upon the railroads the cut to Norfolk is 44 per cent and to Charleston 42 per cent of the established all rail rates. But if these losses are participated in by the ship owners in the present scarcity of tonnage It is hardly to be conjectured that the participation is on an equal basis, though if It were the railroads would still be obliged to contribute 21 and 22 per cent, respectively, of the rail rate. Which contributions themselves re- The complaint in conclusion al leges "that secret , rate: cutting has become so demoralizing in the dis trict of Macon recently diverting cotton from its natural channels to Charleston and Norfolk, that the Southern States Freight Association was forced to authorize a reduction in the rate from Macon to Savannah and. Brunswick or cents per iiw pounds, or 40 cents a Daie, w onset Its effects." NOVEMBER 5, 1896. UP IN THE MILLIONS, Vast Volume of Literature Sent Front Washington Daring tbs Campaign, v The Washington Star of yesterday $ays: 1. "W J9te ver may be the variety of pjn;5 s on the merits of the candi filagree that never before in the history of the country lias cal- campaign been waged by I ase of literature so hotly as i, ting the past three months. . i j jign literature sent out by repub- ns, democrats, pojulists and silverites, from their headquarters here and in Chicago, is placed by those who make conservative esti mates at not less than 200,000,000 or about thirteen for each of the fifteen milllonsof votersln the UnitedStates. In addition to these publications there has been a vast circulation of campaign literature through the newspapers of the country and in documents printed for individuals, which would swell the quantity of campaign' literature to many thtJhs, and millions of pieces. The republican congressional com mittee opened its. headquarters in the Normandie about August 1, with additional quarters for the handling of literature within half a square of the hotel. The work of the commit tee was laid out with a comprehen siveness and exactness never before attempted in a political campaign. When the battle of ballots was open ed the congressional committee found itself in a predicament that j?ag at once overcome. It had look- e(j Upon the tariff as the great issue of the campaign, but the action of the Chicago convention veered the issues around so completely that it was seen that free silver was to be the paramount issue. There had been an extensive pre paration for a campaign on the tariff. Plates had been prepared of the best speeches in Congress on that subject, but they were found to be but little in demand. The foresight of the managers of the campaign, however, had caused plates to be made on the money question, and these were added to rapidly, and so extensive was the work of circulat ing literature that about 22,000,000 documents v have been sent out, of which 19,000,000 were on the financi al issue. Since the campaign opened the Democratic committee here has sent out about twelve "millions of docu ments, and these have gone to all parts of the United States, generally response to requests for litera ture made by Democratic nominees fcr Congress. Because of the con centration of the political fight in the central western states those sec tions were furnished with greater quantities of literature than any other part of the country. More personal requests for documents came to the committee from Penn sylvania and North Carolina than from any other state in the union. The interest manifested in the free silver issue by people of Pennsylva nia was a surprise to the committee. The Populist national committee, under the guidance of Senator But ler, of North Carolina, chairman, and Secretary Edgerton, did con siderable work in the forwarding of documents, sending outabout 3,000,- 000, most of which were placed in the middle western states. The Democrats, Populists and Silverites gave many of their orders for docu ments jointly, and secured the ad vantage of low rates by ordering large quantities, as many of the nublications used Dy inem were common to the cause of all parties contending for free silver.
