GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCH.l


GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCHl
RALEIGH, Aug. 2.-The election returns come in
slowly, but information is to hand to safely claim
the election of Merrimon the Conservative candidate
for Governor, by from 1900 to 5000 majority. The
Conservatives have made large gains in the
western counties as far as heard from, and gains in
many OF the Eastern counties and the Republicans
in some of the colored counties, particularly in the
IVth Congress District. The Republicans are o
little hopeful tonight. Quite number of counties
are not heard from, but Conservative gains are ex
pected in those sections The result may be
summed up about as follows:
Conservative State ticket elected by from 1000 to
6,OOO majority; Conservative Congressman elected
in the Hid, Yth With, With, and With Districts
Smith, Republican, elected over Rogers in the IVth
District by some 400 majority; Thomas Republican,
elected in the lid District, with Cartaret County
doubtful in the Ist District. The Legislature will
be largely Democratic on joint ballot. The feeling
is still intense, although everything is quiet.
WILMINGTON, Aug. 2.-Merrimons majority is va
rously estimated from 5000 to 10000. The probabil-
ity is that Smith Republican, is elected in the Ra-
leigh District by very small majority. The Con-
servatyes certainly elect six out of eight Congress-
men, and possibly seven.

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEES, NEw-YoRK, Aug. 2, lS72
The National Democratic and Liberal Republi

of the United States who are in favor of
reform in the Government upon the magnificent
victory achieved by the people of North Carolina,
virtually deciding as it does the Presidential con-
test When it is recollected that in no period in
country's history have such unwaTanted means
been used to intimidate free people, the result
is all the more gratifying and glorious Let
each State favoring reconciliation, union, and
peace, vie with its sisters in contributing TO
the overwhelming defeat Of an Administration that
has vainly attempted to perpetuate its power by
means at once extraordinary and dsgraeeful. One
hundred guns viii be lled in this city at noon, to-
morrow Saturday. in honor of the victory.

amongst leading Democratic papers in
the cities North of us, setting off with

do they gain by their objections? What
can they do, aud what can the Demo-

The New York World has no discrc.

il the Democratic party undertake to
put ticket in the field, they will not
only themselves be defeated, but they
will insure the reelection of Grant and
the prolongation OF the expressions OF
the South and, the corruptions OF the
Government.
Could there be anything moro absurd,
and 1t done with a perfect knowledge OF
this fact. will it not be wicked2 A de-
feat OF this sort will be defeat of the
best interests Of the nRtion-a defeat Of
the country itself. It will furthermore
DO defeat Of the Democratic party
