Yesterday was a glorious day for
white supremacy in New Hanover
county. The election resulted in the
success of the entire democratic state
judicial, district senatorial and coun-
~ tickets in the county with MAORI
ties ranging from $50 10 1000.
Business vas practically suspended,
and the vote cast was the largest in
the history Of the county. The polls
opened at a. m. and closed at ass p.
m The polls were crowded early in
the morning and most of the whites
and negroes on the registration books
voted by noon. The straglers voted in
the afternoon. In some of the precincts
every man whose names were on the
registration books voted. In some pre-
cincts all but one TO five voted.
The voting at the various precincts
was quiet and at most of the polls ii
was like Sunday most OF the day.At the
counting there was some excitement,
ain II I'VE plCIIilIlS last IlSul IL HUM
ed like trouble was brewing, but very
thing passed off without b~loodshed.
Late last night some e~xhuberant DEM
ocrats We're on the town and there was
firing of guns a thing calculated 10
make the women nervous, and which,
from that point Of view, was reprehen-
sible, but which was excusable under
all other circumstances.
The victory for the democrats was q
glorious one. Our townsman, the Hon.
John D.. Bellamy, beats old Oliver
Dockery by about 5000 majority in this
district. Mr.. W. j. Davis, of Bruins
wick, is surely elected over Colonel r.
B. Davis, the fusion nominee for state
senator from this district. 1t is aid
that Brunswick count gives a demo-
cratic majority of $50. New Hanover
gives the democratic. Davis a majority
of about 1000. He leads the ticket in
New Hanover.
