by all votes excepting the negro.
The conflict which has been feared 80
much did not come. Negroes in many
cases did not present themselves at TIE
polls at all. In Wilson town which gave
a Democratic majority OF 4U, eighty ne
groes failed to vote at one precinct. The
indication. for trouble at this hour is very
slight. Fusionists are taking their de-
feat as II was determined they should
take IL.

Is complete

Democratic majorities for judges Of the

men I'm NeWbern, Craven county. voted
the fusion ticket. even Bob Hancock
scratched the negro ticket. Fifty negroes
vote the white mans ticket In Loncoln-
ton. Lincoln county. In Charlotte l,ly
or sixty did the same. The white peo-
pie generally voted the Democratic
ticket. Political issues were buried; good
government and white supremacy were
only issues I'm this section. II was a
quiet election. The fusion forces were
demoralized all day. Ii was apparent
the white fusionists had lost their grip
the forces were disorganized. Every
telegram increases the extent of land
slide.

victory.
Republicans and Populists joined with
their white brothers In winning the great
victory. IL was like the good old times
10 see the JOY here. White men and white
women shared in IL. Victory was In the
air, and rejoicing was with 1t. The DEM
ocratic State chairman epitomzed the re-
suit when he said.
we have literally swept the State;
elected eight out Of the nine congressman,
and over 100 out of the 10 members OF
the Legislature"
The only congressman elected who was
not a Democrat Is George II. White, the
negro in the Second district.
The Democratic tickets in that district
did not have on them the name OF VIII
liam r.. Fountain, the independent white
