THE VOTE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
1t Will be seen from the table published On
our fourth page, that the vote of North Care
lima, in August last, was All unusually large
one We notice that the vote OF Lenoir is
not yet officially given--the majority for Reid
only is given. By comparing the figures, it
will be seen that the aggregate vote for Reid
and Manly is 1927 larger than the aggregate
vote for Hoke and Graham, in 1874 By ex-
lists, in 1918, polled within 1876 OF as many
votes as Graham received in 184l-shewing
that there was not so mach apathy as they
would have the world to believe 1t will also
be seen that Red received 2053 more votes
than were cast for lIoke four years ago-c!ear-
ly shelving that the democratic party has been
rapidly gaining strength since the campaign
of 1874
From this statement it will be seen that had
the democratic party only eXered themselves
little, they could have carried the State with
all ease. Think of the pitiful majority receiv-
y
$1,000 votes Why, there were enough de-
mocrats who stayed away from the polls in
NlcKay's district alone to have turned the
scale. Let us then, take warning from the
result in August, when we see clearly that il
was our own fault that we have not to day a
democratic Governor. Let us be ready to a
man, in November, to make a gallant push
10 carry the State for Cass and Butler. We
can do it with all ease All IRE ask is thai
every democrat will go to the polls. We
are aware that many were apathetic in August
because they deemed the contest hopeless
one. No feeling Of this kind can possb,
operate upon any man now. Our chances O.
carrying North Carolina are much better thar
they have been during the last twelve years
Indeed, we can carry it with ease, if every
democrat will only do his duty
p. s. Since writing the above, we have re-
Ceived the Raleigh Standard, of Wednesday
containing the official vote, Lenor included
The Standards footing up is different from
that of the Register, and is, we doubt not
correct The Standards footing up is as fol
lows: Manly, 1886
Reid, 1852
Manly's ma jority, --S54
Upon this result the Standard remarks -
. The majority for the Wing candidate, Mr.
Manly, is only S54. The whole number 0
votes is S4,21S-ths largest number erer cas-
an North Carolina at any previous election
In 1914 lIohe and Graham received together
q. and a.
Polk and Clay received $3.50 Col Rel
has run aho~i vf r1oEe, 2249; and ahea
OF Polk 1895 votes Mr. Manly has run be
hind Mr.. Clay COG votes, ana only so vote
behind Gov. Graham. The aggregate volt
for Reid and Manly is 1899 larger than 1ha
for Polk and Clay, and 2l99 larger than tina
for Hoke and Graham The clear democrat;
gain, compared with Hoke and Graham is ,,
299; and compared with Polk and Clay, /:
3O9I."

learn that Harrison w. Covington, Wing 81
major elect from the counties of Richmond an
Robson, died at his residence in the formt

O3-We are informed that a through tick.

formed at s17 so, each way. The Charlie.
