the whites. Less white men stayed At
home than in any election ever witnessed.
think CleveianG'S defeat was the tariff
and monopoly against principle and right
Of the people
Mr. j II. HOFFMAN. Representation
elect from Burke: can say thai the whie
people of the state are determined that
the negroes shall never have control Of the
State government, and believe that the
continuation of the Democracy in power
IS the sureSt way to prevent 1t.
Iu my opinion Mr.. Cievelands s defeat
was owing to the fact that the Repuhl
cans of the North so argued the tariff
question rs to convince the Northern peO-
pie that the democrats We're in favor Of
free trade.
GEORGE A. JONES, ESQ Representative
elect from Macon: Ia the West almost
everything went Republican this year
But the state ticket ran ahead Of the Ma
tiona ticket. This is due to he fact tiiat
number of Northern Republicans have
come among US, and they say the Demo-
cratic party is the party 10 govern tic
State
In the next place, the Republicans u,.st.
money ard We're we'll organized.
In the next place, the people looked to
nal Revenue
These are the prime factors that went
against us in the West.
Mr.. RUFCs GALLOWAY, Representative
elect from Drunswick The election OF
Harrison. | believe, has been carried
through fraud and intlmdation States
like Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, which
have wavered for years past, inclining
steadily towards the Democratic ranks.
have suddenly shown surprising Repub!i-
can maioritieS ani but for fraud and in
timidation have 40 doubt that Mr.. Ci1yt
/ land would have been elected This j. ;Dy
| honest opinion as far as | am able 20 judge.
! So far as the State election is concerned
there are many causes; first. local cali~es;
se:ond, the right klud Of candidates that
are put before the people; and, third. the
] d termined effort made by the Democratic
party throughout the entire State.
Mr.. d G. REGAN. Of Robson. who was
! a member Of the last House an1 who has
! been reelected our victory in this Sftrc
is due to tW0 cause, frs: The reOptt-
/ We're fully aroused 10 the importance 0f
I Democratic success by the Presidents arlti
i reform message. and the action OF Con
/ gress towards tariff re- orm; and. second
/ The public spirited class of the people,
/ were stirred to their best efforts by the
apparent danger Of the Republicans E"t
ting control of the state.
The cause of the Presidents 4, feat, III
our opinion, is due to his friendly attitude
I to the South, aud to his tariff reform nes
sage to the 5Oth Congress
The people OF the South and especially
the farmers have experienced . SAD de
fea; in our National campaign of s..
T. E GILMAN. ESQ, Representative elect
| from 0ns!ow; In my opirion several causes
attributed to Democratic success. Para
mount and chief, consider the coun
ty Cover nment question. Republican
pledged 70 change it and Democrats tc
continue it. IN other words democrats
. South compose the WHITE MANS PARTY. In
1886 the Democrats We're not aroused tc
the necessities Of the occasion aud did not
| organize or Work as they have this year.
End. The tariff reform assisted me.ir
bringing out the Democratic strength }3ut
nothing like the desire for Democratic Oh
white mans rule IN North Carolina
Civil service reform, so called, he}prc
to defeat Cleveland but the fact that hi:
defeat turns simply on the Vote ii New
York city inciiues me TO believe that tn,
protectioniSt's money won the dag by
buying votes.
Mr. JOHN n. BtNNErr, Senator elec
from Brunswick and Bladen, thinks tn,
Democrats succeeded IN North Caroin;
this year because they were more full,
aroused to the Importance of good govern
ment than in 1856 He thinks that Gov
Scales was right in saying: 1T seem
that the main cause lies in the fact tha
the wealth OF the manufacturers enabled
them to spend their money in the figh
against he Mills bill! D."

Of the enormous weight and influence o

time threw themselves full, into tue oanl

i. Mr. Bennett represented his district i
the Senate twelve years ago. 1t has sen
a Republican every year until this, whe
Mr.. Bennett returns.
5 r. W WINSTON, ESQ of oxford:
the STATE election had occurred as early a
+ september ist. the Democrats would hay
lost the State. Negroes always vote th
f r; 1ical ticket. On any economic qGes
= tiol the white men in North Carolina wi
always divide. The result is that economi
, questions and theories endanger any pc
,isa! campaign in this State. For tn
: people OF Norti. Carolina TO DISCUSS Ma
! iopal politics is as foolish III the prs>er
8! danger from race conflict as it would hay
been in the children Of Israel 10 decline t
cross the BED Sea until they theorze
J., about the policy of Nose, and until ti
Egyptians had captured them.
l. Mr., Cleveland vas defeated because h
n vetoed the Dependent Pension bill, favo
! Cd such a reduction OF tariff taxes as Woul
i benefit the South, ran with Judge Thu
man, the idol of the South, whom II
, Yankees cali q copper head and general
- because Cleveland 5 election meant in the
= parlance a posthumous victory for tt
h Confederacy.
10 r. a DOUGHTON, Representative fro
c Alleghany in last House and Represent
% tive elect: Ny opinion is that the Dem
e cratic victory in this State is due to tv
d causes chiefly. First, the great majori
IF of the men of intelligence and property
le this State belong to the Democratic par
h and when they become fully aroused
l.! their interests, as tIey were in this car
4 p2ign, their influence is a wonderful fact
y in carrying the election Secondly, ,
le had IN inOst Ci tie loantiGs Il good G.
:, crgeniza' ion and thereby got aut d f;
&c vote which IS a'~ W Favorable TO lbs L
:. mocracy.
Clev,ianI's ) defeat is IN my opinion
" trtbut able to combination of circnl
ID stances prominent among which is t
