I iind that, with very few ex

of "hurt" Mr. Bryan aud the Democratic congressional candi-

dates, iu that it will very material- ly assist in bringiiigonl a full vote,

especially as it is believed many (Populists especially! will "quali-

fy" themselves to participate in the primary by lirst voting for Mr,

Bryan's electors. Let me quote the language of an astute and

sensible Democrat along this line,

He said: "There i« uo disputing the facl

source of anxiety. Right here iu

Raleigh, even, I have never known Democrats to lie so unconcerned and

inactive a month before election In pre-jail my experience. This state of

affairs is. at least partly, due to the excess and surfeit of 'polities'

this year, aud the reaction natural after the excitement Of the State

campaign. But there appear to be some other seasous. too, among oertaia classes, it is my belief that just some such incentive as
