THE NEGRO SHUT OUT.
North Carolina Votes to Practically
Disfranchise the Col0red Man
in the State.

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 3.-After one of
the most bitterly contested campaigns
ever known in the old North state the
democrats and white supremacy tri-
umphed Thursday by a majority of
about 100000. The election disfran-
chised the negro and changed the state
Legislature from its combination ma
jority of republicans and populists to
straight democratic, insuring the de-
feat of Marion Butler for reelection as
United States senator. The negroes, as
general thing, remained away from
the polls.
Spencer B. Adams. fusion nominee
for governor, was defeated by Charles
B. Aycock, the democratic nominee.
and all other democratic state officers
were elected.
