REPUBLICAN, LAND SLIDE.
THE WHOLEz COUNTRY TURNS
AGAINST THE PARTY OF
THE PEOPLE
4 Ground Swell in New York.
THE POPULISTS GET CONTROL OF
NORTH CAROLINA AND OTHER
STATES.

The result of Tue, days cleo
ton was most disastrous Ill al
most every State in the Union.
1t evidently seems that this IS
a Republican year. North Car
DINA has gone for fusion and will
be handed over to the Republic
cans-having elected State
Treasurer, the Judicial Ticket,
and gotten good working ma
iorities in both Houses of Legis-
lature. They have also elected
six Congressman. In this, the
First District, Skinner is elected
by about 1000, Senatorial dis
trict carried by White and Snip
es by about 900. w. J. Leary,
the fusion candidate for Solicitor
against Bond, IS also elected.
III New York, the defeat is
overwhelming, Hill having been
defeated for Governor by 1885,
o83.
Republicans carry Iowa by 50,
900 majority and elect all the
Congressman except probably
one.
II New Jersey the Republicans
swept the State, except Hudson
county.
The Democrats were defeated
III West Virginia. William L.
Wilson, the great Tariff Reform
CT, is defeated by over 1000 III
the end district.
! Maryland's solid Democratic
front has been broken and the
Republicans carry the State.
Massachusetts, has gone Re
publican by 10000 majority.
Kentucky gave the Republi-
cans q complete landslide.
Ohio gives the Republicans
about 1000 majority. The Re
publicans also carry Pennsy1va-
MIA, Illinois, Michigan, Connecti-
cut, Wisconsin, California, Della
ware, Idaho, Washington, and
South Dakota.
In Tennessee, Turner, the
Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, is reelected by 90, 1000. The
Legislature overWhelmingly
Democratic. Congressional del
egation is unchanged.
South Carolina goes solidly
Democratic. The total vote was
little over 10000, and the re-
turns are sufficient to show that
South Carolina will send a solo
Democratic delegation to Con
gress. Evans, regular Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, is
elected over Pope, independent
| by 10000 majority.
The Democrats carry the
State of Florida. They also holc
their own III the States of Texas
Georgia, and Alabama.
In Virginia the Democrats have
carried every district. The est
mated majority CT the State give:
the Democrats about 900.

PONDER THIS, PLEASE.

The Durham Sun tells a plain
truth when it says that the easiest
way to make people trade abroad
is for home business men to neg
lect advertising. 4 merchant
who does not advertise should be
the last to complain il the peo-
pie, attracted BY liberal advertis-
ing Of progressive and enterpris-
ing merchants of other cities,
place their trade, or a good part
of it, with the more distant mer-
chant who thus caters for 1t by
informing them what he has in
stock.
As a general thing most OF the
people who send abroad for
goods do so because they see
things advertised, which they
think the local merchants do not
keep. If the local merchants
would make a business Of thor
ougtIy advertising the goods
they handle and III certain cases,
their prices, much Of this trade
would be kept at home. The
merchant who keeps them IN
formed that he keeps what they
want and that he Will sell it at d
reasonable price seldom has any
cause to complain Of a customer
ordering goods abroad.

PLAIN TALK.

The election is over. 1t IS a
good time to do some plain talk
inc. Hcnceforti1 it IS the duty
Of the Democratic party to take
care Of itself and to make its next
Gpbton the line ola White Mans
Government. tits useless to try
to conciliate OF draw the negroes
bv acts Of kindness or by apPro-
priations of the public moneys
for their benefit. III 1894, near
" thirty years after their free
dom, they rally to the cry OF the
selfish white demagogues as
readily, as submissiVely, as tame
" as they did under the full
flush of liberation from a condl-
ton Of slavery. The crack OF
the white leaders whip is
euouoh to evoke loudest below
ings and thc most subservient &C
tons. They may Slight them,
curse tenn, "gobblc up all the
Offices, but start a campaign and
tell them to vote against the
Democrats who employ them
give them a place i'll which to
earn their bread-and they will
vote as hidden every time. This
was a White Mans Government
at the start. It must be kept a
White Mans Government. The
Caucasian-or rather the Aryan
has dominated and will domi-
rate wherever he goes. He was
born to rule. 1t is Ill INN. All
races that stand III his way Will
90 down before it. The history
Of thousands of years shows this,
The yellow and black races can
never resist successfully his on

ASSIST HOME TRADE.

Do not adopt the habit Of going
away from home to buy your dry
goods, clothing, boots, shoes, hats,
etc, but read over carefully our
advertisers and make your pur-
chases at Edenton. You ask the
reason why you should purchase
at home? We will tell you. By
doing so you assist home enter
prise and put your money N cir
culation where it is bound to help
every class of citizens from the
rich merchant down to the pau
per. You might be tempted to
laugh at such an assertion, yet it
is correct. You purchase from
the merchant, vino III turn buys
from the grocer and the farmer,
each of these employ help and

quently your purchases at home
assist a multitude Of people you
little thought it would, and be
sides some of the cash you spend
may come back into your own
pocket, either in the way of pay
ing you a bill due or for mater
ial which you have to dispose OF.
Try the plan and induce others
to do the same; nothing succeeds
if no effort is made for its &C
conplishment. Reader, if you

you to purchase i'll Edenton such
articles as we enumerate and thus

DEATH OF POPULISM.

Tuesday witnessed the end OF
the populist party.
After disappearing for several
moons as q party Of "rcfawm,
the Populists North and South,
East an West, have gone into
the Republican party body and
soul. In Kansas they went from
the Republican into the Popullst
party and began to preach that
the time had come for the South
and West to act together against
"thc corrupt old parties. Just
as soon as these Kansas decOy
ducks found that they had gone
far enough to get the North Car
DINA Populists into the Republl-
can camp i'll body, they march
ed back into the Republican par
tv, and Kansas OH Tuesday re-
entered the Republican camp.
This is the first step towards
the Reforms that the POpul1sts
are advocating. 1t is also the
last step.-Nc5vs and ObSU9T.
