Notwithstanding of the defeat of u. b.
Means by an Independent Democrat, by 600
majority in Cabarrus, the Register remarks
The Dem ocratic party has a disposition
to punish in the South. While they are
doing it, the Radicals step in, and-add
smoke-to the decentralization" And the
~-o... { - -, d., Wo1llo,1o +Io tEp,,
ishment'' is sometimes inflicted in mere
spite to crafty the feelin.s of prominent
wire-pullers. We know a young man who
was defeated for a nomination (which he
had not solicited, nor IN any way sought,
but which would have saved him years OF
drudgery and suffering, mental and physl-
cal defeated, as all men know, not be-
cause he was not unworthy of the place, not
because he was untitled to fill it. not because
he ..had not carp0I such recognition at
the hands Of his Party, his State, and his
Section; but-solely because he would not
hurrah for certain factions OF the Demo
cratic party, and truckle and tawu before
certain powerful interests IN the State.
Had that young man, in his natural indig-
nation at being so unjustly ''punished'
by men who owed him gratitude rather
than malico,-for once refused to sacri-
sfce personal welfare for party good, and
had he appealed to the public with a state
ment of facts, well known in Raleigh,
though not generally in the State, the
decentralization" might possibly have been
still greater. HOwever a miss is as safe as a

Davidson county for the Senate "one was
taken, the other was left Alas! the "got
left" one was our Democratic brother,
Lewis Hanes. And yet Lewis Hanes was
elected Don't you q? Well, it was edi-
tor Lewis c. Hanes, of the 4mer1can, who
came in loo votes ahead. There's moth
ing in a name"-saith the poet it all de-
ponds on the number of negroes in the
Wood pile. - Speaking Of Editors,
there will be two others in the General As
sembly. Bros. Caleb b. Green, of the Dur
ham Plant, and Geo. S. Bradshaw, of the
Randolph Courier two as good men as
ever drew mileage to Raleigh will represent
the Fourth Branch and will not be

lions begins. Buxton carried
Fayetteville township by los majority-72
votes more than Garfield received The
average Republican majority in the pre-
cinct was from % to 3JIshowing the
Judges personal popularity at home.-
The large majority in Pitt county was due
to the migration of two or three hundred
negroes to Beaufort county, which thereby
came near to being swamped, says the
North State Press. John K. Hughes
was elected to stay In rhe Sheriff. office at
Hillsboro, by 600 or thereabouts over A.
Nj. feathers, the regular nominee. 1t
ne edn't vex anybody to be beaten by John
Knox 'kause he could beat his own daddy,
which is saying a great deal.-The indie

F!oy in Onslow by II maj; j. F. Ray,
in Macon, A. f. Heilman In Cabar-
rus by 595 and Mr.. Davis in Hay
wood by 900. But they are all Democrats
or Conseryatlves.-Owing to the indie

w. A. Deans, Republican was elected
By IL majority over Captain G; Z;
by 100 maj; and Mr.. Dortch for the
Senate from Wayne and Duplin had 1925
for the Senate, J. NJ. Alexander was foiled
BY an independent Alexander, to wit name
ly, Alexander Foil, Esq.-In politics
there is but one thing certain, viz: that the
election will not turn out exactly as every
body predicted. Take the case of Lieut.
Governor Robinson. Everybody expected
him to run a long way behind, owing to his
action in respect to the school bill, the
mileage, the railroad, etc. Whereas, in
fact, Robinson appears to have received a
larger vote than any man on the Democratic
ticket. In Guilford, he had AZ more major
ity than Jarvis, in Davidson he was beaten
40 instead of 1862 for Jarvis and SO ON
DR.. S. L.. Love was beaten leo votes in
Haywood, his W county; but Matt Akin
son received 100 votes which would have
been given to Love if but two candidates
had been in the field. These wretched
butts always play the mischief
