The Official Count-Some of the Queer
 Bed Fellows of Politics.
 Greensboro, Nov. 9.-(Special Corre- epondence )-The official count of Hale in the late election shows the following result:
 For the highest Bryan and Sewall elec- tor. 2.S25: for the highest Mckinley and Hobart elector, SIP; for Dr. A. Lawson, for congress, 965; for pr. Grafton Grove, for congress, 152; for Oscar A. Under wood, for congress, 2,458.
 The negroes are jubilant over the elec- tion of Mckinley, and few of the sound money democrats (so-called) sympathize with them in their joy. We heard a gen. tleman remark that he "never expected to live to see the day when a southern dem ocrat would rejoice at the electton or a radical for President" But politics makes strange bed fellows, and we now see the singular spectacle of the roar ing democratic lion of yore lying down with the black lamb of radicalism. The negro enjoys the novel situation, ana IS glad that he is at last in good company.
 The free silver democrats are taking the defeat of their candidate philosophi- cally, and are not at all disheartened. They will be ready four years hence to renew the fight and have no doubt of the ilnal success of their cause under the lead ership of the gallant young hero or Ne braska, whose magnificent canvass mas elcted applause from friend and foe alike, and has stamped him the rising man of the nation.
 Hon. c. E. Waller and Hon. A. M. Tun- stall, members of the legislature from Hale, left for Montgomery on sunday morning. The former Is a prominent ap- plicant for the position of speaker of the house. with fair prospects of success, and if elected will make first, class presiding officer. MT. Waller has served this coun, ty in the legislature before, and will make an active, useful and influential member of that body This is MT. Tun- stalls first term, but during the ses- sion he will be heard from, for he has an old head upon young shoulders, ana possesses the abllity to make hls way Ill any delberative body.
