NORTHCAROLINA'S WAY.

1T looked like Sunday in Kinston on
Tuesday. The election was the. quiet

Kinston Free Press.

way gave promise of race trouble. No
act of violence was committed anywhere
in the city, says the Wilmington Star.
1.-THE quietness of the election is not

so far as reported. Here, for instance.
the day was nearly like the Sabbath

Washington Post.
Yesterday passed as quietly as any
election day in the history of the city.

There is perhaps no other State i'll
the Union where, under the same con-
ditions, the election could have been
held so quietly. There was no riot,
no bloodshed, no outbreak to mar the
complete victory of the party of law and
order.
The people of North Carolina are not
only felicitated on the victory. but on
the seemly manner in which it was won
That clear-sighted conservatism which
has marked the history of our people
always has stood them in good stead on
this occasion. North Carolinians have
warmed the hearts of all friends of the
Old North State, friends who have
arisen in very unexpected places to stand

they have conducted themselves. They

without her borders, who would have

prophecies justified. u
North Carolina has redeemed herself
and in way to increase the esteem in
which she must be held by all right
minded men.

EXACT ATTITUDE OF WHITES
TO NEGROES.

Wilmington Messenger.
We would repeat here what the Mes
senger has stated several times as to
the white mans feeling for the negroes,
1t is by no manner of means unfriend-
illness or hatred. We have talked with
no white man in the last three months
while the campaign has been progress
ing with great zeal and interest who
uttered word of hostility or unkind-
ness for the better class of negroes
not one. All with whom we have con-
versed have said they felt kindly to-
wards the blacks, and pitied them for
their blindness, their infatuation, their
ngratitude, their false and cruel lead
ership--that the bad white men who
used them and befooled them for their
own selfish, vile, remorseless ends were
great deal meaner, more depraved
and more censurable than the negroes
were. All have said, who referred to the
matter, that they wanted the blacks
to be contented, prosperous and happy,
but would not have them 70 rule them
to make laws for them or to control
city, county and State affairs. They
wanted to keep them in their proper
places, and not to have them by the
Vaccinations of wicked and base men
to be the rulers of the State and the
masters of the great White Race.

trict has covered itself with imperishable
glory. The Democrats have elected
every Representative in the distrlct-slx
of the former and fourteen of the lat
ter-while they had in the last Leglsla-
ture only two Representatives ana not
a single Senator.
The Sixth district has done more
it has elected John d. Bellamy to Con
gress by a majority that may reach
1000 to $500, gain of 5000 votes
over the vote for Congress in 1870.
Bellamy has accomplished a great deal
more than his friends promised for nm,
and has proven himself to be one OF the
greatest political campaigners that North
Carolina has produced.
In Wilmington the interest conferred
on the Senatorial ticket for New Han
over and Brunswick, William j. Davis

Davis the Fusion candidate. To make
q long story short one, William j.
is elected by good round majority.

BEST CAUCUS THEY EVER HELD.

The Knston Free Press says that on
the night before the election the Popu-
lists of Woodington township held eau
Gus and decided to vote with the Demo
Gratis. They saw that to vote the Fusion
ticket this year was to fasten negro
rule on their State and help to more
firmly establish the gold standard. And,
seeing this, they could not vote that
ticket They showed devotion to princi-
pie in taking that stand.
Having voted the Democratic ticket
there is not room to doubt that the Wood
ington Populists will hold another eau
Gus and decide to come back permanently
into the only party that stands for the
white man and the white metal

WHAT WE HAVE WON.

The Democratic victory in North Caro-
lima is most sweeping.
Tta State Judicial ticket is Democratic
by 10000.
The Democrats have certainly elect
ed every Congressman, except perhaps
Linney in the Eighth and White in the
Second. 1t is almost certain that White
is defeated, and if Linney is elected al
all, it is by the skin of his teeth.
All the Democratic candidates for So
licitor are elected.
There are certainly more than AZ
Democratic Senators elected, and abou.
LOO members of the House.
Nearly all the counties will be il
Democratic hands on January LIST.
After February every city and town
government will be controlled by white

DESERVED TRIBUTE.

At the great mass meeting of the
Democrats of Raleigh and Wake county
held in Metropolitan Hall last night, the
most enthusiasm was evoked when Mr..
Frank Ellington introduced resolu-
ton of thanks, which passed unanimous
ly. to Mr.. Norman Z. Jennett, the News
and Observers cartoonist for the excel
lent work he has done in contributing TO
the success of this campaign. When Mr..
e. w. Pou and Mr.. NJ. II. Leach gave
expression to the debt of gratitude due
to Mr. Jennett, the audience showed
their appreciation of Mr.. Jennett's car
ICONS by hearty applause.
The tributes that have come from all
sides to Mr. Jennett are deserved. His
made to redeem the State. When the
campaign opened, he came from New
York to Raleigh at a financial sacrifice
to take part in freeing his home from
issues of the campaign in his cartoons
in such way as to carry them home to
all classes of people, and they have had
a powerful effect in converting the voters
of the State. There is hardly a cabin in
the mountains or fine house in a city
where his cartoons have not given pleas
ure as they have carried their object
lesson in behalf of White Supremacy.
To-day Mr.. Jennett goes to his old
home in Sampson to spend a few days
before returning to his studies and work
in New York city. He is but on the
threshold of great career, and all North
Carolina will follow him with interest
and pride.

What is the only safe course for North
Caroinians who want good government
at home? 1t is for Democrats, Populista,
gold Democrats, Prohibitionists, or In
dependents to submit all matters ito the
arbitrament'' of the conventions of the
Democratic county, State and national
party. Any other course brings about
division among white voters and opens
the door for negroes to walk in and
rule.

In 1896 another body of Democrats,
who did not agree with the national
platform. thought they could safely leave
the Democratic party upon national
questions. Some of them voted for
Palmer and Buckner, and some of them
voted for Mckinley They We're taking
what they thought was the best route
to secure gold as the Populists thought
they were taking the best route to Sc
cure silver. The gold Democrats were
few in number, but they possessed large
means and influence, and the effect of
their separating themselves from the
State Democratic organization on the
electoral ticket was most hurtful to the
State and local tickets. This year nearly
every one of these men voted and work
ed for White Supremacy and contributed
largely to the great victory. They see
now. as the Populists have learned after
bitter experience, that however it may
be elsewhere, that though a man may
say, Il am Democrat" in State mat
tiers and opposed to it on national mat
tiers his influence is certain to help the
Republican State and local tickets if he
helps them nationally, even if he labors
to prevent such injury.

THE LESSON OF THE ELECTION.

The smoke of the political battle has
cleared away sufficiently for the thought
full voters in the State to learn the les
son which it teaches.
The great victory does more than
give the State assurance of peace and
good government, the elevation of our
public standards of morals, and the help
ing forward of every movement tnaf
looks to the betterment of the State
and it's people. 1t shows us how TO
preserve the blessings which it insures.
The great lesson that the election of
1894 began to teach was that division
among the white voters invited bad gov
eminent and a low tone of morals. The
lesson of the election of 1896 taught
that the division of the white vote had
brought worse evils than had been
predicted.
With these lessons burned into the
minds of the voters, the way to end bad
conditions was SO plain that "a way
faring man though fool could not
fail to see it, A great majority of
the white voters saw the way on Tues
day and walked therein. The Demo
Gratis who had all along seen that divis-
ion meant disaster, were joined by many
voters of other parties who sought to
undo the wrong they had unconsciously
wrought. They agreed to disagree about
some matters, and united to restore con-
ditions that would make decent govern
ment possible. As soon as they agreed
to submit their differences to the arbi-
trament of white voters, they voted
together. and voted the party of good
government into power by an immense
majority.
In 1892 when there came a difference
of opinion among Democrats, $4,000
Democrats left the party upon national
question. They did not intend r. leave
the State Democratic party when they
resolved to vote for Weaver for Presi-
dent. But it was not long before they
organized State Populist party, and
the result of that division among the
white voters has been seen in the bad
government which has cursed the State
for four years. The bulk of the men
who voted for Weaver showed this year
that they did not intend to establish ne
gro rule in North Carolina by voting to
undo all the wrongs their division had
helped to inflict 1t is estimated by
Major Guthrie that nearly twenty thou
sand of the men who voted for him for
Governor in 1896 voted the Democratic
ticket on Tuesday of this week.
