1t is due to Mr. McKethan to state that he was not
candidate, and was voted for by the Democrats
without any solicitation on his part to do so. A
friend writes follows:
" The election of the Democratic Commoner in
Moore is truly triumph, for not the talking
candidate. Mr.. Barret is plain farmer, of
good sense, of discriminating mind, highly respeca

eldest Of Maj. William Barrel, of the heroes
of the Revolution. who in his day represented Moore

especially singled out for attack by the Greens
borough Patriot and others, but the honest and
sterling people of Forsythe and Stokes, whom they
have heretofore served so faithfully, stood by hem
and they have triumphed. Col Marshall, though
not foremost on the ticket is still pretty well up,
and polls the safest sort of vote; and Mr.. Hill,
though defeated this time is young man, and can
bear it much better than his party can. His de-
feat, sure, will only serve to strengthen him
in his purposes as a good and true Democrat, and
to stimulate him to renewed efforts in our noble
cause.
