Thoroughly Aroused.
The great battle in Wayne
county against the hosts of the
Republican party and its office
seeking allies of the Populists has
been waged by the unterrified De-
mocracy, and, while not won as a
complete victory, we have a
victory over which to rejoice ex-
ceedingly and take unbounded
courage for the future.
The vote throughout the
county shows, first, that the great
mass of the white people-the
honest yeomanry of the county
still have confidence in the '.old
ship of Democracy" The vote
shows, further, that the
proper ally of the Populist
party. in its protested principles
of financial reform aud greater
economy in the administration of
public funds, is the Democratic
not the Republican party, with
which it's self-appointed leaders
have fused lat the sacrifice of all
principle, purely for office.
Well, soma of them. have gotten
office in this county by the
trade, but by such a slim mas
'ority as to brand their Infamous
SANDER, the stock in trade of their
several hitherto unsuccessful
campaigns-that the Democracy
of Wayne would not give honest
returns of elections, as a false
hood.
Nc election has ever been held
in Wayne county upon which the
county Democracy entered with
more odds against them in the
outset than the one which closed
yesterday. The alliance between
Republicans and Populists-the
fusion ticket they put in the
feld-the registration books and
the election information all in
their own hands-their rcry
Of fraud against Democrats,
and their determination to
win--their combined force
almost 2 to 1 against US; yet with
a heroism born Of her sublime
consciousness of right Demos
cracy gave battle to the allied
enemy, and the victory is ours.
Every Republican on the Rep
Pop fusion ticket has been glor>
iously beaten: Grant, the arch
leader, by near 200 majority;
Dobson by an overwhelming ava~
lanche; w. G.. O'Berry for the
House, by over 100; Mozingo, by
enough, and the Populists on the
ticket by a suffciency, with the
exception of DR.. Fox Person,
who gets to the House by 81 MAJ
jority, over Mr.. W. H. Smith.
and Mr., Jas. T. Johnson for
Treasurer by so, over Mr.. A. T.
Uzzell, who has so efficiently fill
ed that Office for the past two
years. But. as Messrs. Smith
and Uzzell so well said, when they
met the result, I'VE have won
glory enough in this contest"
The vote in the aggregate, 1--WE
cannot yet give it tabulated) is as
follows: For Register, Korne-
gay, d, 27S5, Hollowell, p, 274o:

It will be seen by the above
vote, that Messrs, Cox, Ham,
and Stevens are elected county
commissioners.
The reports from Duplin and
Fender, which with Wayne con-
stitute this senatorial district, give
Hon. F. A. Daniels a great vic
tory over his Republican antag-
onist Maj. H. L.. Grant, who
seems to have been cut off most
every Populist ticket in the dis.
trict-as were largely the other
Republican candidates, not a Re
publican succeeding to an election,
which proves, as we said in the
beginning, that the Democratic
party is the proper ally of the
Populists and, that Populists have
no more real use for Republican.
than Democrats have.
The county's votefor Hon. F..
A. Woodland is most fattering tt
that splendid representative o
Democracy in the halls of Con
gress. So, also, is the county's
vote for Hoo. Cy Watson a grea
pleasure to us alas is also bel
vote for the great Bryan.
The vote for coroner gives thu
detection to DIR. j. b. Person, Pc
pulist, over DR.. Thns. Hill by the
small majority of 5. DR.. Hill has
made the best coroner the county
has ever had. Goodwin, Populist
for surveyor is selected by II
majority.
