Democratic Majorifies. - The Standard.
and some other Democratic papers in this State have
been consong themselves over their late une pec,ed
defess by comparing the msjor,es by which each can.
ddafe elected in the several districts
and summing up Democratic majority Of 1894.
We have no particular desire 70 disturb the eompIa
esneY Of the party in their neicd security; but il re.
qsifss only simple statement Of facts We think. TO
divesi this calculated Democratic majority Of much o.
he importance. This Is done by The Milton Chronicle
!, il peculiar style. Il says Il is only necessary TO
remark that in The second district where The Standard
claims Democratic majority Of 1889. Mr. Ruiin, the
Democratic candidate lad no cpponiiOn. And yet the
Standard takes his majority scattering. or Mr..
Nobody. ss Democratic msjOrity over The Know
koihings, as he Is pleased 10 style the Opposition.
Again In the thrd and fourth DISTRICTS the OPPOSE
tionisis or Wings candidates the Democrats
had all the fan 10 themselves. And yet in these two
districts, where we candidates, the Standard
hooks Democratic majority Of 6.ls5 votes, Ia the
seventh o. cfag's district. where the STANDARD gels
$50 majority. il is proper 70 siae that Gen. wakup
Wing, did no, announce himself a. a candidate until
few days before The election. Had Mr. Ashe Of An.
son. accepted The Wing nomination there l. no Kind
Of doubt but that Burton Cage would have been

To what The Chronicle has here said we will only
at present add thu, in The Eve districts in which there
was any real contest. four carried BY Wings. or
Opposition they rallied. and one BY the Demo.
essh. by an aggregate Wing majority II s.ssO votes.
10 the ether thrce districts very little interest was felt
in The election IL district there was no opposition
and IN the other two The candidates ~efe al Democrats
40 ihs there nothing % induce full turn out and
consequently in many counties no, much more than
half the voters siended ihe polls; yet 10 these three
districts the STANDARD up Democratic majority
Of 9.f7t. We deem Il very certain that Il efficient
Wings had been 10 The field TIA, majority would have
been very much reduced; enough. possibly, 70 sfori
