Kinlcy's Majority.
Never in the history of national elections
has there been such n quiet and orderly
election as that which marked the close OF
q heated and remarkable campaign con-
Quoted in this state. In many districts the
registered vote was polled by 1 O'Clock and
clerks and watchers sat idly by. Hardly
had the polls closed when the results from
small districts began to come in.
Mckinley and Hobart carried New York
city. When results were so far known as
to announce that Black (Rep.), candidate
for governor, had run behlnd his electoral
ticket about 5000. which indicates his hav-
ing about onelhalf the plurality given Nc
Kinley, expressions of surprise could be
heard. Bot such a result was naturally to
be expected on account Of the many Demo-
Gratis voting the Republican national ticket
and refusing to vote the state ticket. Still
more comment was made on the vote for
Woodruff, for Lieutenant governor, which
pointed to his having about 5000 plurality
In general results in the city was known
early.
McKinley's plurality over Bryan in New
York city is 1850.
The Democratic state chairman at mid
night gave the following signed statement

of the prominent Democrats here.

Returns from all over the state are very

NORTH CAROLINA.

Both Parties Claim the State by
Good Maj0rittes.
The election passed OF very quietly.
Bryan has carried the state by majorities
variously estimated at between 10000 and
10000. Holton, Republican chairman. how
ever, claims the state for Mckinley by be-
tween 5000 and 10000.
Reports are too meager to state the re-
suit for congressman. The P0pulists have
carried the First, Third, Fourth, Sixth and
Seventh districts. The Republicans have
carried the Second district certain. Pear.
son, Republican, in the Ninth, is probably
elected. The only two, doubtful districts
are the Eighth and Fifth.

'Mcnger Reports Indicate That the

The city of Grand Forks, with Larlmore
and thirty precincts outside, give Mckinley
$3.50 and Bryan 1889. F%orty-one other pre-
cincts give Mckinley 1927 and Bryan 1876.
Other figures give about the same proper
lions and would indicate a good majority
for Mckinley were it lot for the fact that
the country districts will reduce these ma
jorities very much. Indications are that the
vote will be close but that the Republicans
will carry the state.
