SOME ELECTION FIGURES.

I'd. X" in the Asheyille Citizen, calls
attention to the fact that before the
election the Republicans put out this
claim as the vote they would cast:
Negroes, 10000; white Republicans,
10000, and 1900 or 10000 disgruntled
Populists, making a total of 49,, 1000. The
vote for Mckinley was 155,243 votes
a loss Of over 10000 on their calucula-
tons.
It is variously estimated that from
1000 to 5000 Democrats voted for Nc
Kinley. lie 5000 voted for him 1--WE
think it was not more than $1,000, the
Republican vote was 10000. This is
then the high water mark Of the Re
publican party in North Carolina in
1864 gain of less than 10000 over
the vote cast for Harrison in 1888
When we consider that the Republicans
had unlimited money, absolute control
Of the registration and election machin-
cry in most of the counties, the assist
ance of 600 to 5000 Democrats, it ought
not to surprise anybody that their vote
has grown 10000 in eight years. This
shows hardly normal increase, and
when it is shown that the opposition vote
has grown in eight years from lat ,902
to It's, 4S8, it will be seen that the Re-
publicans have nothing to brag over as
the result of their gains. In spite of the
loss of the Populist voters, for nearly
all of them come from the Democratic
ranks. the Democratic vote for Watson
is within four thousand of the vote cast
for Cleveland in 1883, showing a remark
able gain over the vote Of 1891. The
vote for Chief Justice Shepherd in 1894
was III, 593. Watson gained on this
vote 133, T21. There is nothing to dis
courage Democrats in these figures, but
on the other hand much encoura gemeEt
for them.
The fact that stuns the Republicans
about the election is that it forever dis
poses and damns their oft-ropeatel
claim that they haye All along had Il
majority IN North Carolina, and would
have carried the State singie-handed
with fair election. This year they
vored 10000 Illegal negro voters, and
DISTINGUISHED all the white voters cor
rupt machine could disfranchise, and
still they are at the lowest calculation,
taking the vote for President as the

s. A. L. SALE OFF PERMANENTLY

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 20.-The stock
holders of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern and the Seaboard Airline
Belt, both parts Of the Seaboard Air
Line system, held their annual meetings
to-day in this city. The stockholders of
both the railroads elected directors and
other officers for the ensuing year. All
of the officers of the companies were re-
elected.
The meetings were attended by r. Il.
Hoffman, of Baltimore, President of the
Seaboard system, &c. St. John, Of Ports
mouth, Virginia, and General Mana
ger OF the line, G.. II. Meyer, OF Balti-
more, formerly President of the B. and
O., and Judge l.. r. Watts, Of Norfolk,
J. L. Minis, Of Baltimore, was also pre-
sent. In n talk with an Associated Press
reporter, Mr. Hoffman declared that
be believed the deal for the sale Of the
property to the Ryan syndicate to be off
permanent. He said the stockholders did
not wish to part their holdings as
they considered the stock worth more
than the prices offered.

WHY NOT MAKE THEM AT HOME?

In his address at Shaw University
few days ago, DIR. Curry emphasized the
Importance of the South's utilizing the
resources that are at hand, specifically
stating that he had seen axe-handles and
wagons shipped into North Carolina and
sold which were made in Kansas and in
other Northwestern States. 1t is true
that we are making and using more
and the last few years have witnessed
growth in such line of manufacture, but
with our magnificent timbers, instead of
buying axe-handles from Kansas and
wagons from Ohio, we ought to make
enough TO sell to both States and others
too.
The Progressive Farmer, which, with
commendable enterprise, has been trying
to stir up the Farmers Alliance to es-
tablishing a modern plant at Hillsboro
for the manufacture Of shoes, prints these
facts:
'The shipment Of shoes from Bos-
ton to twelve towns in North Caro-
lima averaged for the years 1S93-4-5,-
1892 cases per year. AS it would
take $4,000 cases to give one pair
per capita, you find that about 20 per
cent Of our shoes come direct from
Boston, that is from second hand,
while the balance come into the
State from third to tenth hands
and cost our wearers twice factory
price, on an average"
There is a whole sermon in these few
figures. There is every reason why all
tie shoes worn in North Carolina should
lie made in North Carolina. We have
every facility except experience and
large capital, and we have the capital for
beginning on good scale if the idea
that many muckles make mickle" could
get deep root in our SOIL The idea of
the Alliance is to manufacture first the
alright, and could sell low, but they had
demand for these and our labor can be
taught to mske tkem exsisr. All maa-

now TO SELECT PosrMAsrERs.

The Indiana Republican members OF
Congress have held meeting
this early and given notice that
they will not assume the res
possibility of selecting the. postmas-
ters in their respective districts, but will
recommend for appointment whoever the
Republican patrons of the office select
by ballot. Inasmuch as this paper long
AFRO went on record as favoring the bill
in Congress to enable the people OF every
community to elect its own postmaster,
this proposition of the Indiana Congress
men is one which we approve. 1t would
be better and juster, of course, to permit
all patrons of the office to have VOTE
but ii is too much to expect that the Ike
publicans would permit the Democrats
to have chance to hold Federal OF
fee under Republican administration.
This is particularly true when there are
already thousands of Democrats In Of
fee who cannot be removed unless the
Republicans should abolish the Civil
Service law, and Mr.. Mckinley is
pledged to carry it out.
Mr.. Grant, member of Congress from
Vermont, has published a proclamation
TO his constituents to the effect that he
win follow the example set by the In
diana Congressman, and announced that
all Republicans who voted the State ana
National tickets doth, mind YOU will
no admitted to the caucuses he will call
to select postmasters in his district
There are many objections to the pre-
sent system of appointing postmasters.
Under it the Senators and Representa-
tives are made patronage dispensers, and
some OF them, il not most of them, use
the patronage to keep themselves in of
fee, building up machines which control
the caucuses and the primaries. In
many instances the distribution destroys
the future of an able and honest Con-
gresham because he does not know how
to place it for his personal benefit. In
others, small trickster is enabled to
keep himself in Congress by his dex-
trous manipulation of the patronage he
dispenses. All of it should be taken from
Congressional gift. The strength Of the
present un-American system OF Civil
Service is that If it is discontinued the
positions will be in the gift Of members
Of Congress who will use them to further
their personal ambition. 1t is not feast
bic to refer their selection to the people,
but it is entirely feasible to make such
changes in our organic law as will let
the patrons of each community name its
own postmaster.
1t was not good policy to permit Sena-
tors Ransom and Vance three years ago.
1t is no better to permit Senators Pritch-
ard and Butler to name him year hence
The people of Raleigh ought to be able
to name their own postmaster without
asking the permission of any Senator or
Representative.

THE OMAHA PLATFORM.
Men Who Have Become Popull,ts Fro

Men Who Have Become PopulIlts From
Principle Are Men OF Brains
We believe that the peoples party,
like the Evening Journal, has a great
work to perform. Like the latter it
entered the field at time when there
was great need Of a reform standard
around which those who were weary
Of the then existing conditions might
rally.
The standard was raised, the Omaha
platform was issued. For four years
has the party pointed with faith to the
principles inculcated in that platform,
and gradually have those who were too
honest to remain in the old parties
been won over to the new upon
the strength Of those principles thus
strongly Endorsed, being assured that
they would be honestly adhered to.
When one comes to study 1t there is
nothing strange about that platform.
It was framed by body Of men, each
of whom was dissatisfied with the fall
ures of the old parties to do fairly by
the people. The platform was, there
fore, very naturally framed with the
full intent Of favoring directly the in
terests Of the people.
Naturally the road taken by certain
dissatisfied voters who dropped from
either of the great parties was follow
ed by others, who also became dis
satisfied and dropped from the corrupt
ed ranks. Naturally, also, to others OF
the dissatisfied class, who stood afar
OF, uncertain what course to pursue,
the Omaha platform shone forth as
beacon light to guide them to the only
haven remaining, where honest politics
had a chance for existence.
Right here let us ask: What was the
chief attraction of the Omaha platform
in this great political arena, where
such thing as honest politics or politl-
cal promises kept had become thing
unknown? It was thls-a practical
declaration that there should be no
fusion. Men who have become popu-
lists from principle are men Of brains
and principle. They remember that
every third party that has fused has
also disrupted, and that from the first
proposal to fuse came the turning point
in their destinles, the beginning of their
downfall.
There is a moral in this. A proud
feature attendant upon the peoples
party is the fact that it has adhered
strictly to the platform, and that every
voter feels that he knows what the st.
Louis platform will be. The moral is:
Let not the Omaha platform be prosti-
tuted for policy, for it will prove to be
the poorest possible policy to depart
from It for any cause.-St. Louis Even
ing Journal.

The following is a part OF Hon.
Francis M. Ceckrelrs speech in the
senate few weeks ago:
I'VE owe over sS47,OOO,OOO OF United
States bonds. Over $25,0OO,OOO OF these
bonds are payable at our pleasure to-
day and bear only 2-per cent interest
Over $559,OOO,OOO OF these bonds are
redeemable in 1907 and bear 4 per
cent interest. $1O0,0OO,OOO of these
bonds are redeemable in 1904 and bear
S per cent interest, $62,OOO,OOO of them
are redeemable in 1925 and bear per
cent interest, and 100000, 900 recently
issued, are redeemable in 1925 and bear
per cent interest. In time OF pro-
found peace We have issued over $685.
100000 Of bonds since January 1, 1894.
We have $346,6S1, DIG United States
notes, greenbacks, and about $1S6OOO,-
900 treasury notes.
What was our financial condition on
the third day of the present month?
We had over $12S, 900 of gold coin
and bullion in the treasury and over
S24,O0O,0 900 of standard silver dollars;
and we have silver bullion Of the COIN
age value Of over $1770OO,O0O, having
cost only about S124,OOO, 900, the seig-
nlorage, the profit that would belong to
government, being over S53,OOO,OOO.
We had in the treasury, besides these,
over $14,000,OOO Of subsidiary coin,
over $106,0OOO coo of United States notes
or greenbacks, and over $SOOO0,.
900 Of United States treasury notes
issued under the law of July
IA, 1890, and We had coined from 1878
up to 1896 over S423,0OO,OOO of stand
ard silver dollars.
What are the objections to this f.
nancial status? The objection is that
the treasury notes Of July IA, 1890, and
the United States notes or greenbacks
are presented at the treasury and gold
demanded in their redemption, and the
gold Is paid and the notes come into the
treasury, and then the secretary Of the
treasury issues the notes In payment
Of the liabilities Of the government, as
the law requires him to do, because
when the notes are redeemed in gold
the law requires them to be reissued
and put in circulation. They are le-
gal tender in the payment Of all debts
and liabilities not otherwise specified;
and If they were not relssued the vol.
ume of money would be contracted by
that amount. Then they are again
brought back to the treasury and gold
again demanded and gold again paid
and that this process has been kept
up, like an endless chain, and the gold
reserve, so-called, of S1O0,0O0,0OO has
been depleted time after time"
