THE VICTORY 4 CERTAINTY.
The Election OF the Conservative State
Ticket-SfK Congressmen and q Legts-
lattve. Majority Assured Beyond a
Doubt.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NRws.l

RALEIGH, Thursday, August l-l2 P. NJ.
The returns received In this city are suffi-
clent to show the result In twenty of the
counties, and indicate positively the election
OF Judge Merrimon, the Conservative candl-
date for Governor, by a large majority. The
Conservatives have certainly elected six out of
the eight Congressmen, and the probabilities
are strongly In favor of seven. The majority
on joint ballot In the State Legislature will
be not less than forty, which will secure the
election of Democratic United States sena-
tor. The election was quiet and orderly
throughout the State.
Returns from eleven towns and precincts
in the State give Conservative gain of about
$50 over the shipp vote of 1870. Raleigh gives
Conservative gain of 2ls. and Wake Forest
adds 100. The other townships In wake
County will undoubtedly give enough more to
overcome the Republican majority In 1870 Of
