THE STATE ELECTION

Up to the time of going to press par
tial returns have been received from
thirty-one of the seventy-six counties
OF the State. These point to demo-
cratic majority fully as large as at the

polled is much reduced but the demo-
cratic voters turned out better than was
expected and some very gratifying gains
are reported.

500. This is democratic gain of 200.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

AfTom htSuldf consequently
Murst Halstead, editor of the
bloodiest of the bloody shirt organs,
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
has been nominated minister to Ger
many. Let Bismarck beware now,
how he discrimInates against Amer
lean pork.
Allen Thorndyke Rice, editor of
the North American Review, has re-
ceived his reward for publishing the
notorious arthur Richmond" at
tacks on Elk Secretary Bayard, by be
ing appointed minister to Russia.
It's pretty big pay for very small
work.
Blaine has paid off some of his Ir.
ish debts by having Pat Egan, who
was once President of the Irish Ma.
tional League appointed minister to
Chilli. 1t is to be hoped that there
will be no more guano claims brought
against that country.
George B. Loring, who was con-
splcuous failure as Commissioner OF
Agriculture, has been appointed min.
lister to Portugal.
The army of Office seekers here is
beginning to thin out considerably.
Finding that they could not hurry
matters by remaining here the most
Of them have filed their applications
and gone home to wait as patiently
as they can for the Office that NAV
never come.
The old, old, story of a man sud
denly trying to become greater than
his Creator is being once more en-
acted here. Wannamaker, who was
made Postmaster General by Senator
Quay has dared to Recommend a
Pennsylvania appointment without
consulting Quay. Foolish Wanna.
maker. Does he think that Quay
and Clarkson propose to allow him
to monkey with the big offices under
the Post Office Department? Such
frivolous ideas may have wandered
through his Uranium few day ago,
but it is very safe to say they are
all gone glimmering never to return
again. Wannamaker actually had
the impudcnce to offer the Postmas
tershlp of Philadelphia to highly
respected citizen of that staid old
town who had been known in the
near past to vote against the ring
nominees OF the Republican party.
Wannamaker's selection was applau.
ded by the business interests of
Philadelphia irrespective of politics,
but when Quay heard of it he got Don
Cameron and together they read the
riot act to poor Wannamaker and de-
manded the position for a machine
politician. Wannamaker bravely
stuck to his friend in spite OF ali
threats from the Senatorial pair
The war was then carried to the
White house and Harrison was as
sured that if the nomination of Wan
namakers friend was sent in it would
be rejected. Harrison having more
political. experience than "Cheap
john, saw that compromise would
have to be patched up, so Wanna
maker was sent for and told that the
best way out Of the whole trouble
would be to get has friend to decline
and then to confer with Quay and
Cameron as to who should be select
ed. This was not at ell palatable to
Cheap John" but he finally agreed
TO have his man decline~f Quay and
Cameron would withdraw their man.
And that's the standing of the mud,
die now,
To use the language OF a sporting
man, the newspaper men Of the Re
publican party are playing in big
luck.

The negro exodus from North
Carolina Is taking on a serious as
pect, The entire eastern portion OF
the State threatens to be depopnlat-

will run up into the thousands.
They go to the cotton plantations OF
Mississippi and Louisiana and hun

THE circular sent out by the Re-

last week in the interest of the re.
publican candidates was cowardly

to emanate from the State committee
