Especial Cor. STATE CHRov1CIE


WINSTON, N. c., Nov. 1O.-The excite
ment in our two cities the past week has
been unusually great Not only has
there been great fuss over the election
in'this county, but Barnum i Bailey and
Charles Bartines circusses have made
things lively for the darkey and small
boy, aad some of the large ones as we'll.
The greatest surprise imaginable came
over our people when on election night
the returns came in from the country
about US. While rejoicing over the fact
Winston Salem had increased hundred
per cent in its Democratic majority, the
news from the country almost drove the
Republicans likewise wild with Joy. In
fact the Farmers Alliance had knifed
their jwn members. When the county
convention was held here and every
place on the county ticket was given to
Alliancemen, the support Of that body
was pledged to the ticket, and the good
people of Winston-Salem desire it to be
stated through the columns of the
CHRONICLE that while the city did its
duty, the country people didtnot. stand by
the ticket. Let every body remember
that Wins on Salem is Democratic by
800 majority.
The organization of land companies
has become no uncommon thing now in
this city. There We're three organized
last week, only one of which seemed of
| sufficient magnitude to find its way into
the papers. We are going ahead rapidly
all along the line and no mistake.
~
The United States mail is now being
carried by the trains on the Roanoke &
Southern as far as Madison. The Mayo
River bridge will be completed this week
and the road will be pushed rapidly on
it's way. \ gentleman from that section
informs m3 that the bridge has been
washed away no less than three times
during construction. Madison is max
ing an effort to organize land com
? ny.
Another good citizen is going to locate
in our midst and it is none other but
Dr. Doughton, Of Allegheny county,
|
r. A. Doughton, who was almost unenl
mously re elected TO the Legislature
Dr.. Doughton will move here III a fews
weeks to practice his profession.
While speaking Of the above gentle
men, it recalls to my mind the fact tia
the present House Of Representative
want a man for Speaker, such as is Hon
Z. A. Doughton. The whole State woult
feel the influence Of that man if he wa
elected to that position. By his lon
service in that body he deserves it, an
the Democracy of North Carolina woul
reflect honor upon the name by rallyin
TO his back and asking the House c
Representatives to make him Speaker
Mr. Doughton is an unassuming mar
: yet bod when in the right. Active, viz
: ilent, cool headed and possessing unques
toned integrity, he is highly qualified
adorn the chair with honor to the peopl
; of the State. Let the members of th
e last House who remember his service
t We'll be heard, and let the new member
s take notice that for Speaker they can d
: no better than voting for r. A. Dougl
g ton, of Allegheny.

Now that the latest returns show th
f Hon. W. ". Barber, of Wilkes count
t. is defeated by small majority, it is dl
d him and the many friends Of Democra'
e throughout the State to state the ia
e that although the district is Republics
d by about. 500, he was only defeated abb
If 200 and that by bogus tickets being ci
- onIo4oI rt t,u,, bCruc fiokQta Un
s. found in one box in Allegheny coun
to alone having the names of the Dem
lie cratic judges at the head of the list al
at the name Of ThOs. Settle for Solicitor
ia the bottom. An unsuspicious Dem
crat would never have seen the diff,
le ence. Mr. Barber made one Of the be
campaigns on record in Western Nor
8. | Carolina and deserves credit.
