The size of the vote was surprising to all
parties, being the largest ever polled in the

Campbell admits his defeat.
Coxey, the Populist candidate for Gov

either party credited to him. Chairman

was fine and favorable to the Republican
ticket. Full 1otes were polled in the cities,
and about two-thirds of the vote seems to
have been brought out in the country Not
one county went Democratic above Harlem
River. There was marked tendency to vote
straight tickets in handling the blanket bal
dot. The number of spoiled ballot was sur
prisingly small.
The State re-elects the present State Of
ficers and elects Judge Celora E. Martin to
the Court of Appeals by pluralities of about
$4,000. The same ticket was carried in 1898
by about "a 900 plurality. Rochester is the
only city showing Democratic gains. Re-

Yes" he replied. 81 think one OF

formed by man now possibly forgot
ten among the hosts that struggled OH
the fields of battle in our Southern
land. Capt. Slade, who was on my

and after most heroic effort, succeeded
in regaining possession ofan abandoned

were thousands against his coming
back alive but with a courage born of
desperation he was successful in his
attempt.'

The She mWell Verdict.
ICharlOtte Observer. |

The press of North Carolina was
never so nearly unanimous as to any
matter as 1t is in its opinion of the
result of the Shemwell trial at Lexing-
ton. Not one that we have seen ap-
proves the verdict. Four have said,
substantially, that the sworn jury which
heard all of the testimony and had the
opportunity to note bearing of the
witnesses was better judge ofthe facts
than the outside irresponsible pub
lie which had to depend for its infor-
nation upon incomplete newspaper
reports. This is the nearest a defense
that has been suggested and this, as
has been said by only four of the
papers; the others are out-spoken in
their condemnation. As the press is
SO is the North Carolina public, as
nearly as we can judge. BY the way,
the State Press Association at its meet
ing in Greensboro adopted a resolution
calling tor reform in the procedure of
the courts in criminal cases, the idea
being to give the State something like
an even chance i'll the trial of cause
and not leave all the advantage on the
side of the defendant.
