The Returns Indicate That bryan
Gets the State.
Raleigh. N. c., Nov. S.-There are 1915
election precincts in this state. There are
at each three judges of election, repre-.
senting the three parties. AS the popu-
lists and republicans are cooperating,
they have absolute control of the cleo
ton machinery.
The republican state chairman tele-
graphed Oliver Dockery, the populist nom
inee for lieutenant governor asking him
to withdraw in favor of Charles Rey-
holds, the republican nominee so the lat
ter's name could go on the populist
tickets. Dockery's reply was, go to
hell"
The Seventh and Ninth congressional
districts show heavy republican gains,
state and national.
Wilmington, N. c., Nov. S.-Returns
thus far received indicate that Bryan car
ries the state by good majorities. The re-
suit for governor in some doubt, though
the vote for Watson, dem, shows consid-
cradle gains over the vote of 1894. The
democrats are gaining a good many men,
bers of the legislature.
Winston, N. c., Nov. Sat Q o'clock to-
night the democrats concede this (For-
syth county, to the republicans by 800
majority for Mckinley and the entire re-
publican ticket Palmer and Buckner get
less than dozen votes IN Winston-Salem,
which gives the republicans a majority of
100 or more.
The returns from the rural districts will
not be received before morning. Demo-
Gratis and republicans are claiming this
(the Eighth congressional district How
ever, both sides believe the majority will
not be over 500. Representative Linney,
rep, and gold standard, and Lieut.. Gov.
Doughton, dem. and free silver. are the
opposing candidates for congress.
Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 3, IL p. m.-The mea-
gerness of news so far as North Carolina
is concerned is at 1890 O'Clock simply as
tonishing. Not one Of the three state
chairmen has a complete return from any
county or can give any positive informa-
ton as to any congressional ticket. The
reports are very scattering. Those to the
republicans say they have carried thirteen
counties. making gains In some. Those
to the democrats say they have carried
five counties, some by increased majorl-
ties.
The republicans are jubilant. Their
state chairman says his predictions are
holding up perfectly and he asserts that
Mckinley carries the state by 5000, and
that Russell wins for governor by over
10000 The democratic chairman says It
requires much time to count the new bal
lots, as they are very long. There was
evidently much scratching in the state.
The gold democrats almost TO a man voted
for Mckinley. Many populists also voted
for him. and got many votes for Russell
for governor.
The indications are that Mckinley has
carried the state and that 1t has gone
heavily anti-democratlc on the state con-
gressional and legislative tickets 1t will
take the returns of tomorrow to settle
all of these. The democrats may elect
two congressman.
The democratic state chairman insists
that the state goes for Bryan. The pop
ulists chairman says he has no news
whatever.
Raleigh. N. c.. Nov. 4. a. m-Returns
up to o'clock are considered as indicat-
ing that Bryan carries the state by 10000.
Yet the republicans do not abate their
claims for Mckinley.
