Republican State Ticket Elected
Two Thousand Majority Reported !!
The Democrats DOn't Give ii Up.

RALEIGH, N. c., August 5.-Night.-lN. Y.
Times special. Thirty-seven counties have Civ
en- Merrimon 1862 majority, and thirty-f
counties give Caldwell 14,62S majority. Cald-
wells majority in seventy-two counties is there
fore 1866. This majority cannot be overcome,
as the democrats will not get the vote of 1870
There is no doubt of CaldwelPS election by
1 900 majority.
Judge MerrimOn feels his defeat keenly, and
said on the street to-day that he will contest the
election before the legislature if he is not beaten
by more than 1000 majority.
The lower house of the legislature is close.
The republicans have elected fifty-four, and
stand good chance for ten more. Sixty-one
constitutes quorum.
Haynes report of 1908 gain in Yadkin, Stokes
and Surry counties is confirmed. There is
great rejoicing in this city. The mayors office
is crowded, and cheer after cheer is given for
Caldwell, Grant and Wilson.
Hon. Samuel F Phillips, chairman of the re-
publican state committee, is of opinion that
Caldwell'S majority is 1000. We are out of the
kukluX wilderness.
RALEIGH, Aug 6-1 40 A. M New York
Times specialI The state is republican sure.
The majority is probably 1000. We will prob
ably have majority in the house of commons.
This is a most glorious triumph.
RALEIGH, Aug. 6.-f New York Telegram
special, 1.-The republican leaders claim that they
have official returns which fix beyond pread-
venture the election of Caldwell by majority
of 1000.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 6.-Of1cial returns to-
day from counties already heard from change
but little in the aggregate the estimate hereto
fore given. The democrats still hold some $50
on Ships, democratic majority of 1870. There
are eleven counties to hear from, which coun-
ties it is conceded will hold the votes of 1870.
The republicans are respondent to-day, and
democrats hopeful. Both parties figure with
approXimating results. Information from the
west this evening will doubtless decide the mat
ter, with chances at present in favor of Merri-
mon.
WILMINGTON, n. c., Aug. 6.-The following
| official maiorities have been received: New Han
over (revSed), 1862 for Caldwell; republican
| gain AS. Brunswick, 80 for Caldwell; republi-
| can gain SO. Onslow, 400 for MerrimOn; dem
ocratic loss 20. The official vote of but few
counties can be got here, as nearly all are sent
| TO Raleigh. The conservatives here are all yery
hopeful, and are relying on the western coun-
| ties to elect MerrimOn. Many leading republi-
| cans concede Merrimon'S election BY a small
majority. The Star and Journal both claim
| Merrimon'S election by about 800.
New YORK, Aug. Ga special to the Tele-
gram from Raleigh, at 8 P. M, says the radicals
claim the election Of Caldwell by 5000. A later
dispatch at p. M. says the election of Merrimon
| is almost insured by small majority. The of
fetal vote of Columbus county gives Merrimon
| 331 majority, reducing the republican gain re-
| ported yesterday by 81. The official vote of
| Brunswick gives Caldwell go majority, gain of
| 49, CaldwelPs majority in Onslow county will
| reach $50, a further gain. Hyde county gives
a conservative gain of so to Is. The reported
| republican gain in Rutherford county is greatly
reduced.
| Latest Returns.
RALEIGH, N. c., August 6.-All counties
heard from except ten, in the west. The vote
thus far for Caldwell is even with the Shipp
majority Of 1870, and in the remaining counties
each candidate stands an even chance. Eight
| of the counties to hear from are in the eighth
| district, and the eleven counties already heard
from in that district gave Merrimon net gain
of over 100 each. Everything turns upon this,
and the democrats are hopeful of maintaining
| the gains. Republicans are quite confident, and
| claim that Caldwell is elebted.
WILMINGToS, N c., Aug. 6.-The following
| official majorities are just received at the Star
office direct from the registers office Of several
counties
