Raleigh, Nov. *8.—In the absence of

prepared estimate may be relied upon
ns the latest figures on the Populist*
fuxlonlst majorities. The next United

THE TEXAS SLUMP. *»
New .'Orleans. Nov. 8.—W? Times-
PrnOcihSt*> Abilene. Tex., special r’.ya:
“Texas, itoo, was caught in the Uhd-
shde, but by the P^uitots instead of
Republicans. The time-worn plurality
of 180,000 for Democracy i© a thins of
I8»« Todtty’a returns very male-
riatily rtaInge the situation from timt
of yewUerday, w^ien the Democrats were
copfkhmt of ;i plurality of 80,000, while
tonight they will be aattstied if barely
elected. Every return throughout the
fifoate reoelved today shows phen^mbiml
Populist gains and may possibly indi
cate the ftFectlon of Nugent, file Popu-
I’xn's csmdld»te for governor. The rfU.i te
is Uonrlght dnimed by both parties. Tae
Populists claim k plurality of 80,000 Wr
NugVtrft* wCvlle tlie Democrats only
claim the st&e fo«* Culhorsop by 30,000.
The Democratic .strongholds iia\'© been
heard from, while the Populk9ts are yet
to receive returns from the oouhtry dd»-
triebs.
STILL COUNTING THE VOTE.-
DhIIhiS. Tex.. Nov. 8.—Th© Judges arc
still cfaunitinsr the bullotci. Mayor Kear-
by (Popultsi), for co.ngre , sa, eo far as re-
tunas are in from Dallas couraty, leads
Abbott (Democrat) by about 600.
If Kearby counts out.as strongly in
the cky ©» his triemds say he will, th©
luce In the Sixth district will be a de
cidedly close one. DlswKtohea today .tnl
sure the election of Ollllland (Populist)
over Beil (Democrat) in the Thirteenth
district. Even the rock-ribbed Demo
cratic starte of Texas ms .parted from
the faith ani^ partfcilly gone over to the
enemy. The Democrats certainly lose
two and possibly four congrcocmen.
Nugent (Populist), for governor. Is
running like a scared hound. The Pop
ulists here ©re actually claiming his
eleetton. While many leading Demo
crats are ‘dumbfounded (tot *the cyclone
which bus well-nigh swept Ihe party out
of existence, others are aoit at ail sur
prised. They aay that Cleveland and
congress have utterly fulled to earn
out th© wishes of »the people, and have
betrayed every trust and all confidence
put Jn them. There is loud talk of form
ing a new national party with a new
maim© upon the 'beat .planks of the
Democratic, Populist and old Whig qlat-
form.
