A DEMOCRATIC SWEEP.
FREELAND AND FOSTER STRUCK BY
A POLITICAL CYCLONE.
All the Borough Candidates Swept tho
Town by Nice Majorities-Entire School
Board Is Democratic-One Councilman
Lost in Each Ward.

Lost in Each Ward.
record on Tuesday in manner which
astounded the most enthusiastic Demo
Gratis in the town. Every borough can
didate carried Freeland, and the candi-
date for poor director, who made nc
canvass, came out ahead by 95 votes.
The majorities range from 20 for bor-
ongh auditor to 200 for justice of the
peace. Gallagher for burgess leads
Drasher by 50. The same districts in
November last gave Mckinley 153
majority. Three school directors were
also elected, two in the North ward and
one in the South ward, which makes the
board solidly Democratic The cand-
date for council in the North ward was
met the same fate. The council will
stand three Democrats, two Republicans
and one independent.
Notwithstanding the high stakes
which the candidates played for, the
battle was fought without animosity or
i'll feeling on either side, but both par
ties strained every reeve to bring out
the vote. In the First and North dis
tricts the full vote was not poled, but in
all others it went over the number eX-
pected.
The Democrats voted comparatively
straight everywhere, except in the South
ward. There the detection was great
est, but the results were far more favor
able to the Democrats than the candi-
dates on that ticket had hoped for.
The Republicans ripped their ballots
numerically, and those who did not
marked an X over the Citizens or Dem
ocratic ticket. In the three districts
of the North ward, where Mckinley had
222 majority, the candidates for justice
and 'taX collector on the Democratic
ticket had 200 votes more than their
Republican opponents, and the burgess
was only 81 behind the Republican nom
inee.
The Citizens ticket cut larger figure
at the polls than it was given credit be-
forohand, and its candidates had con-
siderable to do with making the result
what it is.
A careful study of the adjoining
table gives evidence of the character of
the voting in some districts, but these
figures show only the surface appear
ance of the cutting that was done.
Those who were present in the voting
rooms state that nothing in the line of
chopped" tickets was ever known to
equal it.
The newly-anneXed district, the
Nor,h, which was counted good for 100
Republican majority, gave the biggest
surprise of the day. Drasher came out
of it with only 60 ahead, Buckley had a
majority of 50 and Bachman lead Lewis
by SO. This district was considered the
Republican Gibiralta, and was counted
upon to overbalance the Republican re-
volt within the old borough limits. In
stead, the new section asserted its in
dependence at the earliest opportunity,
and knocked out the calculations of
every candidate.
A comparison of the vote cast On
Tuesday with the vote of last Novem-
Der, which is also published today, goes
to show that the result in Freeland can
be classed as nothing short of politi-
cal cyclone.

Ward Candidates.

The Democratic ward candidates went
through with good majorities. except
the North ward councilman and one of
North ward the Republicans voted for
their candidate, and in the South ward
both Democratic candidates fought for
the long term, which gave the Citizens
nominee majority for the short term.
The school directors won by heavy
majorities in both wards.
Following is the result:

"The Boy Tramp"
From the Buffalo Times.

The house was packed last night,
and the audience was perfectly satisfied
with the excellent performance of 1.-The
Boy Tramp" The play is pretty, full of
fun and human interest, and is much
improved since its production here last
season, both in cast and scenic effects.
The company are all capable people and
acted their parts in most mastery
manner. Augustin Melville is very
clever comedian after the style of Roland
Reed, and made as great hit with the
big audience. The scenery is big fea-

Are. YOU
Looking for
Bargains ?
OF course you are.

Of course you are.
SO is everyone else. Every
one wants bargains nowadays,
because everyone needs bar
gains, in order that they may
be enabled to purchase as much
as they have in the past.
Therefore we want to talk
with you.
We have decided to close
out our business in Freeland
on April /, and with that end
in view we are selling off our
stock as quickly as it can be
carried away. 1t is uncertain
whether we shall have all our
stock removed by that date,
such is the enormous quantity
of goods we have on hand, but
we shall endeavOr to accom-
plish as much as possible in
that direction.
Our stock consists of
Clothing and
Gents Furnishings
Of every kind.
We are offering bargains in
every department. By bar
gains we mean quarters and
halves sliced off our former low
prices. On many goods we
will allow you to name the
price. We will not refuse any
thing offered. We must get
rid of our stock, and in order
to do SO we are compelled to
allow the greatest possible con-
cessions to buyers.
Come and investigate.

Washington, d. c., Nov. S.-The au-

Canada; Sir Louis Davies, Minister of
Marine in the Laurier Cabinet, and 9TH
er officials of the Dominion, is to have
an important bearing not only on the
Berhing seat settlement, but on all the
pending questions which have been
sources of international complication
between the United States and Canada,
namely, the passage of alien laborers to

fisheries question, the presence of many
Americans in the Klondike territory be-
longing to Canada, and IN the mining
regions of British Colombia, the fisheries
troubles along the great lakes, the
bonding privilege granted Canadian
railroads, the controversy over rights in
the Frazier river, British Colombia. and
m Puget Sound, and also the question of
reciprocity arrangement between the
United States and Canada. There is di-

these questions, and, if possible, include
them in one general settlement where
by the constant friction they have en-
genedered may be overcome.

For Good Government.

G. G. Lyon, Esq, a prominent lawyer
of Bladen county, who has three of four
times represented his county in the House
of Representatives, and was ut one time
leading candidate for speaker, is at
tending the Supreme court. Mr.. Lyon
is a Democrat who is full of faith in the
future of his party. I'VE will carry
Baden next year without Doubt" he
said. I'm fact we carried it last year
for Watson. The Republican party is
not near so strong in Bladen as it has
been, and many of the Populists are COM
ing back to the old home to tight with
us in the great fight of next year under
the banner of The White Man and the
White Metal They see that AS white
men they must do this or have the
present bad condition of affairs grow
worse and worse"
This is the news that comes to us
every day from every section of North
Carolina. On Saturday of last week
two Populists in Wake county, honest
farmers, who work hard and are not
widely known, came into our office and
voluntarily stated that they were done
with any party except the true white
mans free silver party.

THE BUREAU" LAST NIGHT.
Melee Was on Hand But There Was

Why it is called "McFee's Matrimonial

body seemed to want to. AND yet tnat

other, such a string of specIaltles-sohie
laughable. but most of them dull and
bewhiskered-as were presented at the
Metropolitan Opera House last night.
There was no plot in it, and conse-
auently no attempt at acting; characters
were just logged in when needed. But
there was much fine dancing, lot OF
amusing absurdties, some bad singing
and a lot of jibberish labeled Irish wit,
which nobody understood though ut was
shonted Mt them as if they were in a
deaf and dumb asylum.
That is all | can remember Of the per-
formance-save and except the appear
ance on the stage, two or three times,
of FIVE or six not bad-looking girls, who
wore abbreviated bathing suits, danced
well and sang in high, cracked voices.
But every time they came before the
foot-hghts they broke every one of the
Ten Commandments. This somewhat
sessened the pain some Of them in
fiictelf in certain tragic assaults they
made upon high notes. At such moments
one could forgive even the kiss Duet
or 4Swannee."
OF course there was vastly more in
the performance-it is in three acts-but
il is all SO vague, confused, uncorrelated
and inconsequential, that even close at
tention can hold only the salient points.
That the Bureau" availed in any de-
gree to interest or amuse the audience
was due to the splendid dancing, an oc-
casional topical song and the clever
acrobatic work of Chelso Peruchi, as

that this be done.
Mr.. Ellyson has been on the force for

it seems to have been a mere breach of

BILE for Them to go Away.
About . o'clock Sunday morning two
convicts escaped from the penitentiary,
and are still at large. They are Lee
Bailey, committed for larceny, and L. M.
Causey, from Guilford, committed for
forgery. Both are young white men be-
tween the ages Of 80 and 80.
1t seems that about midnight the
boiler, which furnishes steam to the
building, needed some urgent repairs,
and these men were locked in the boiler
room, which is located under the kitchen,
for the purpose of doing the work. Be
ing left alone they effected their exit
from the boiler room with a large iron
bar, went to the guard room, which is
located over the kitchen, and took two
suits of clothes belonging to the guards
TO replace their striped ones, secured a
pistol and $11 in money. They then
proceeded to the gate of the stockade,
broke the lock with the iron bar. and
went out. The escape was discovered
about 3 o'clock, when the guard went
down in the boiler room to relieve them
from work.

NO CORN JUICERIEs FOUND.
Revenue Officers Back From a Fruitless
Raid Near Wakefield

The people of Wakefield are much
stirred up over rad of revenue officers
near there Saturday night.
Sometime ago, it is said, somebody re-
ported some illicit distilleries doing bust
ness in that community. But before the
officers went to look for them the
owners of the corn juiceries heard they
had been reported and so moved out.
For this reason the officers found moth
ing bnt some mad people.

them, and when they though they had
discovered they one night placed at his
door coffin and a shroud with a note
warning him to leave the community if
ne valued his life.
