NORTH CAROLINA.

We have received returns for governor
from twenty three Of the seventy counties
in the State, which we give below. The
democratic vote will probably exceed BY
several thousand any democratic vote ever
given in the State before; but. in our opin-
i'm. it will not be large enough to over
come the wing vote. The wing majority
in the State in 1910 was 1854. We
think it will now be between 1900 and
3,OOO--showing wing loss Of about To-
600. At the same rate there would be Q
wing loss Of 3l2,222 in the United States
from which deduct ,605, the wing ma
jority in lS40, and there is left l66, 527
for the democratic majority Of 1874. That
will do.-Glo6e Of tie Sta.

KENTUCKY.


sClesr tie track for Old Kentucky"
This State in which the wings claimed
Owsley's election BY 10000, which gave
Letcher, the wing Governor, ever $4,000,
and Gen. Harrison over %, 900, has now
gone wing by majority Of LESS THAN
5000! This is one Of the greatest tri-
umphs Of the season, and with one fourth
rs much gain for the democrats elsewhere
as there is in this State, Mr.. Clay will
hardly get respectable minority Of cleo
toral votes. Three cheers for Kentucky!
The Louisville Democrat Of the 18th says:
There Is certainty that Owsley's ma
iority will be less than FIVE thousand,
which is more than twenty thousand less
than Harrison obtained in $780,. Well
may the democracy Of Kentucky, and the
Union, rejoice at victory SO overwhelm-

Now Switzerland and Jefferson were

wings have gained nothing in Spencer,
Crawford, and Montgomery.

tholomew, two in Harrison, one Of Jeffer.
son, one in Knox, and one in Perry; whilst
the Democrats have gained in Senators,
one in Orange and Crawford, and one in
Vanderburg aud Posey, which equals The
wing Senatorial gain. In Representatives,
we have gained one in Martin, two in
Dearborn. one in Posey, one in Wander
burg, ono in Grant, which precisely equals
the wing Representative gain. The At
las claims gain Of one Representative in
Tippecanoe, one in Morgan, one in Mad
ison, one in Adams and Jay, and two in
Putnam--siv, which may or may not be SC
but Judging from the abundance Of mis-
takes committed in its account, we have nc
confidence in il. As for the popular vote
the returns We have seen indicate very
large gain on the vote Of ,642, when the
Democrats elected their Governor BY more
than 1900 majority.

The Wing papers hcreabouts make good
footing for themselves, no matter what re.
turns they get: They are comparing the re.
cent vote in North Carolina with the vote in
that State in 1912. In that year the Dem
ocrats carried three fonrths Of the States
in the Union. The Democrats are gair-
ing little on that vote; Tut The Wing pa
pers in order to make whig gain, make
wrong Auditors and substractions. TIE

the Democratic vote for 1912, 80 more
and the Democratic vote Of this year ,OOC
less than the figures make; thereby making

figuring, there is Wing loss.

The great Hickory ball that rolled over
our country in 1882 is again in motion.
In New York, in the Keystone State, As
well as every where else, there is an en-
thusiasm equal If not exceeding The PALM
lest days Of Jackeonism. The papers from
the above mentioned States are filed with
accounts Of democratic meetings at which
thousands were in attendance. From al
most every county in the Union We have
accounts Of changes from the wing to the
democratic ranks. Tens Of thousands
who voted for Harrison in 40 have de-
clared their intention to vote for Polk
Every thing looks a. cheering to the DEM
ocrats now as it did for the wings in 1910.
Several Of our democratic exchanges
set down only six States as certain for
Clay, while others give him only four! II
he gets ten he may think himself well Of.
In the wing Banner State, Kentucky, we
have reduced their majority more than ten
thousand. In North Carolina, we have
reduced their majority better than two
thousand. In Louisiana we have got .
popular majority of from one to two thou
sand, being a gain Of at least FIVE thousand.
Illinois has increased her majority nearly
ten thousand. The popular vote in Indi-
ana, instead Of being some l6, 600 wing, as
it was in 1910, is now democratic! And
thus it will be all over the Union.
Death Of MT. Nluhlemberg.

candidate for Governor Of Pennsylvania.

candidate Of the democracy, as he fell but

M. was selected. The election Of the
latter, if nominated, may Be get down as

We publish below returns from about

them the votes of 1912 Tor governor, when
Morehead, the wing candidate, was elect
ed BY 1882 majority. An the large
counties remaining to be heard from lie il
the western part Of the State, where Hoke,
the democratic candidate, resides; and we
expect his gain will be much greater there
in proportion to the number Of votes, than
it has been in the counties heard from al
ready. The counties in Graham's section
Of the State have been heard from, there
fore he has already 20, the advantage Of
his personal popularity.

The following artisles taken from The
Louisville Democrat and the Globe show
how the wing papers make up their cleo
ton returns The whole secret IN the
matter is this: They think, BY showing
wing gains in ore state, that it will have :
favorable influence upon the elections in
other States. For instance: the wing news
from Louisiana was to have an influence
upon the elections N, Kentucky, Indiana
&c. And the false returns now being pub.
lished in regard to the election in Indiana
are brought 70 bear upon that Of Kentucky
where they vote three days. This game
may or may not do some good, but any
party who make q practice Of thus Ialsiiy.
ing facts must eventually receive that re.
buke which their actions deserve.
