This gives the Democracy 1919 majority in the
State, but The North Carolina Standard, Demo-
cratic Journal fairly estimating the majoTities in those
Districts where there was no Opposition upon the
basis Of previous elections, reduces that majority to
1894.
The Democratic journals Of North Carolina are
somewhat at a loss to assign plausible reason for
the Losses which the party sustained in the late Con-
eressioral elections. The Nerbern Progress copying
an article from The Wilmington Journal on this sub
iect. makes the following remarks:

en- the Democratic party which Ihe J0HrHdl does not
touch The old hners-those who have been bred In
the Democratic party-are not wng 70 see lnose WHO
have stood By the colors through good and EVIL report
sacrificed or ihrus. aside for renegade W hlgs and ex
Kuoy-Nothnes In plain English, large portion OF
the Democracy outside of the last Leg stature never
nave been able TO see why such men as Gov ked anu
W W. Holden who have stood by the party for TWEEN

came to the Democratic party TO bargain Tor place.

Indiana, with only two dissenting voces-John l..

time Of holding the Democratic State Convention
from Monday the 9th, to Wednesday, the llth. The
Cincinnati Enquirer says: This IS triumph OF
the people over the politicians who desired the Sab
bath as the intervening day before the meeting Of the
Convention
The Democracy Of Wisconsin hold at Madison TO-
day their State Convention at which delegates are 10
he chosen 10 the Charleston Convention OF lsoO.
The Mirankee Wisconsin, an Opposition, but Tor
merly Democratic Journal, says that the delegation
chosen will surely be for Douglas first, and Ho!siio
Seymour next.
The Chicago Press and Tribune says:
