Bryan car ried the State by over 20,000. Weather Predictions. Chief Moore, Washington, D. C, 10:30 o'clock. Fair to-night and Sunday. Warmer to night. The C. F. & Y. V. and the A. C. L. Railroads will run excursion trains from points on their lines to Fayetteville during the fair. The next House of Representatives will probably stand 217 republicans, 123 demo crats, and 19 populists. The Senate is a tie between the gold and silver forces. Kentucky claimed, at first by Hanna by a large majority, is now claimed by only WO. The Democrats claim that Bryan has carried the State. The official count will be necessary to decide it. Are the Democrats of Cumberland going to take advantage of the present election law and have two Democrats made county commissioners? This would make the board stand three Republicans and two Democrats. Some one telegraphed from Fayetteville to the Charlotte Observer that Cumberland had given everything to the Republicans. On the contrary, Cumberland did herself proud this time on the leading issue of the campaign. She converted an adverse Re publican majority of 159 in 1894 (when Cleveland and Ransom were the issue) into a Byan majority of 309 this year, (when straight Democracy was the issue). Hotel Arrival.

"A Word to the Wise," etc. The houses that secure fame for their business by conspicuous and persistent ad vertising will go on absorbing the trade of their competitors who do not use that means of obtaining publicity. That is in evitable and irresistable. Too Ooldfor Light Underwear. WE HAVE A FULL LINE FOR LA DIES, MEN AND CHILDREN. People and Their Movements. ! Delaware elected a Democratic Governor and a silver democratic legislature, and a Democratic Senator will succeed Higgins. Bryan failed to carry the State by over 3.000. Did Hanna have anything to do fch this phenomenon ? Bryan got 25,000 more votes in this State than Hon. C. B. Watson, candidate for Governor. The populists polled about 20,000 votes, and as it requires 30,000 un der the present election law for a party's existence to be recognized, it appears that e Populists, as a party, are gone up. Fair Attractions. Besides the excellent program of horse racing, a number of spirited bicyle races have been arranged. On Thursday there will be two free for all races and a relay race, and on Friday two or three special races. The Association will offer sub stantial prizes. On Friday the great balloon ascension with a parachute, descent will take place. The fakirs have already arrived in num bers never before known. There are at least fifty here now. Many of them will probably leave before the fair opens as they have been informed that they will not be allowed to play their games. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Cochran arrived in the city from New York yesterday, and are at their country place, Myrtle Hill. Mr. W. J. McDiarmid left for New York city last night. Mr. R. M.
