"a For the Standard.
Letter from Caldwell County.
Mr.. ED1ToR "A correspondent of the
Sentinel newspaper, writing from Morganton,
and communicating the result of the special
election for Senator in the 41st district, COM
posed of the counties of Burke Caldwell
and Watauga, if believed by those who may
read the article, is calculated to deceive the
public.
In the first instance the writer claims large
gains for the Conservative party over the
elections in November. This Is not true.
DR.. Beall, the Conservative candidate is
elected, but when his vote is compared with
| that OF the gentleman who was elected in
| November and could not take his seat in the
| Senate on account of ineligibility, it will be
seen it is but little more than one-half as
large as that of his predecessor, and several
hundred less than Mr.. Boyle, the Republican
candidate received in November, and the
entire vote cast for both candidates ON the
18th ult., very little more than half the
number rolled on the Sd of November.
| 1t is equally true that the strength of the
Conservative party was more nearly cast than
that of the Republican party, or In other
| WIDTHS, lHc Atitt nut tuiH Out d
well as the Democrats and Conservatives.
This result is easily accounted for, on ac-
count of the unusual season of the year, the
short time allowed IN which to disseminate
information, and above all. the incement
weather Immediately preceding the election,
and the great distance many Republicans
lived from the election precincts.

doubtless thank him for his wits. No one
