The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1900-04-19

the largest negro county in the State,
together with a very able letter OF Mr..
Kltchin's ON the subject OF fusion,
had a great deal to do with the un-
compromising stand taken by the last
State convention, which the result
proved to be 30 wise.
Mr.. Kitchln was a member of the
Committee on Platforms and Resolu-
tons of that convention, by whom tho
question of fusion was settled, only
after two days debate. Mr.. Kitchin's
work on that committee, as the leader
of the fight against compromise,
stamped him as one of the wisest coun-
sellers Of the party.
Very few men in the State entered
into the last campaign with so much
zest and determination as did Mr..
Kitchin and none rendered more
valuable service, or did more effective
campaigning.
As chairman of Halifax county, /
was in a position to appreciate the
worth OF his work in that county, and
have no hesitation in saying that
Halifax could not have been carried
without him.
All OF bis time that could be spared
from Halifax county, he spent.in cam
paigning in other parts Of the State
and wherever he spoke he aroused the
greatest enthusiasm and elected the
highest praise. Hardly any speech made
in that campaign created such I'm.
bounded enthusiasm, and inspired the
people with such fixed determination
both locally and generally, as did his
speech in Richmond county. It was q
speech of such force that, although il
applied entirely to local politics, the
Washington Post considered it of sui
ficient merit to deserve lengthy re
port in Its columns. And the striking
way in. which it presented tie cordi
lions in North Carolina, so attracted
the attention of that paper, that 1t pub.
l.shed several articles upon the subject
that were of incalculable help TO us.
There are very lew men IN the State
who can equal Mr.. Kltchin as cam.
paigner. He is a POLISHED speaker
logical, eloquent and strong. He is q
we'll rounded, level headed man, Of
splendid intellectual power, whose
high character and irreproachable
hatits command the respect and con.
idence OF all who know him. In bis
intercourse with others he is pleasant
genial and open, readily getting &C
quainted with those he meets, and
quickly gaining their esteem and
friendship. If He is elected to Cen.
gress, no man whom North Carolina
may send there will take a higher
stand, nor be greater credit to the
State than he will. He will make hi,
District and his State proud of him.
The county to whom the nomination
is due, puts forward a man who in
every way deserves it. The RICH,
time, the right county, and the right
man have come together. The united
Democracy OF Halifax county asks this
nomination for Mr.. Kitchin, and is
determined to put forth its utmost
efforts, In every honorable way, tc
secure 1t. Yours truly,
| E. J.. TRAVIS.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Repub-
licans elected their state ticket yes
terday by plurality over the Demo-
cratic candidates of over $4,000. The
vote was almost as large as four years
ago and the returns so far as received,
compared with 1896, show Republican
losses of about 10 per cent, or Demo-
cratic gain Of about 19 per cent. The
gratifying to both parties. To the Re
publlicans, because they polled almost
as lalrge a vote as in 1885, and to the
Democrats because of the heavy
gains over that year. While thousands
of voters who, in 1896, deserted the
Democratic ranks, returned to the
fold yesterday, yet the Republicans
were able to make good most of the
loss.
The entire Republican ticket. headed
by John P. Hill of Augusta for gov
ernor, was elected, as We're all four of
the congressman, Allen, in Reeds old
district; Littlefed, in Dingley's old
district: Burleigh in the Third and
Boutelle in the Fourth. The campaign
throughout the state except. perhaps
In Cumberland county, was fought en-
tirely on national issues. In Cumber-
land county, with Portland as a CEN
ter, there was fought one of the most
interesting contests in the state. 1t
was based on the liquor law, it's en-
forcement or it's non-enforcement. the
Republicans representing the latter
and a Prohibition candidate the form
er issue. The fight was bitter one.
Ac +o tho 1epiSlatl1re there were few
Democratic gains. This body will meet
In January and re-elect w. P. Frye to
the United States senate.
