vIted by the Democrats to Return

BuforI Says Fo rsyth Wi Hence
forth And Forever be Democratic.
Hon. G. B. Watson, who will be one
of Forsyth's representatives in the
next Legislature, was interviewed by
u SENTINEL reporter on Wednesday
about the result of the election in the
county and State. He said:
''The election will show to the
Third party Democrats of Forsyth
county that the Republicans were
cratic vote. The Republicans evil
IDENTIFY promised to support the third
party candidate for the Senate, but
managed to take enough votes from
them to insure their defeat. The Re-
publicans who voted the Third party
ticket in the county and State did so
because of dissatisfaction with the
National Legislation of their party.
Upon the whole it was great day for
the Democracy OF the State and the
party will hereafter, for years. to
come, present united front and be
invincible. The Democrats cherish
no i'll feeling towards the rank and
file Of the Third party and are not
surprised at the dissatisfaction and
unrest among them, considering the
vicious literature so well calculated
to deceive that has been so persistent
ly circulated among them.
The colOred vote split to pieces by
reason of the outrageous conduct of
white Republican leaders. 1t will be
years (if ever before Forsyth county
again goes Republican"
CAPT. BUFoRD's OPINION.
A SENTINEL reporter found Capt.
. Buford, chairman of the comfy
Democratic Executive Committee,
sitting at his Office smiling WedneS-
day over the result of the result.
When asked for his opinion about the
result in Forsyth, he said:
''Our;victory is the result of splendid
work. Every Democrat rolled up his
sleeves and fought hard. The party
was aroused as never before. The
| Third party people, like the Prodigal
Son, went astray, but the Democrats
| do not censure any but the leaders
| for their action. Those who have
been misled are invited to come back
| into the Democratic fold and many of
| them will accept the invitation"
"What was the cause of so many
| colored men voting the straight Dem
ocratic ticket?" was asked.
"Several truthful reasons can be
given for the action of the colored
| voters. One is that they are realizing
| party which befriends them. An
| other thing is the treatment they
received rom the hands Of the Rey-
| -Masten faction at the
| recent Republican county conVen-
I tiOn.
'Forsyth county, in my opinion,
| will henceforth be Democratic"
MR.. GLENN ENTHUSIASTIC.
Mr.. Glenn was interviewed and
| said: ''Our victory is glorious one.
| The main cause of success has been
| the energy and determination exhibit
| ed by the workers in our ranks. They
saw the danger and provided against
| it. Chairman Simmons knows how
| to keep men at work and has made a
| great canvass. The great issues were
| the tariff. Force bill and currency
| questions, and upon these the people
believed the Democratic party was
sound. The exposure of Gideon's
band also had wonderfully good eff
fects and drove many good men away
| from the Peoples party.
''The effect of the election will be
to soldify the Democrats, and disband
the Third party. the rank and file of
| whom are honest and now see how
they were deceived by corrupt leaders
who were being used in the interest of
the Republicans.
eff the Democrats, now having the
president, ana probably both branches
of Cong ~eSs, will exercise their accus-
toned vigi!cnce and rectify the unjust
evils now op.,f>sSing US, / can see NO

dates were immensely popular with
the people. Cleveland is regarded as
honest, able and incorruptable, while
Stevenson won the hearts of all whom
he met and was by his popularity al
home. doubtless the cause of Illinois
going Democratic. North Caroline
caused his nomination and is justly
proud of her grandson"
