A Raleigh dispatch to the Richmond
Times is sufficient commentary upon the
election" in North Carolina The Dem
ocrats of that State elected to disfran-
chise most Of the negroes, donued red
shirts, loaded their guns" and demon
strated to everybody who had a rational
desire for longevity that it wasn't safe to
amendment that wipes out two amend
ments to the Constitution of the United
States.
THE Democratic victory of yesterday"
says the Times dispatch, will sum up
between 5000 and $4,000 for the State
ticket and the amendment" Fifty or sixty
thousand, seventy or eighty thousand,
what difference does il make? The con-
dtions are that the victory shall be large
enough to carry the amendment and to
carry terror into the hearts Of those who
opposed it.
The humbug Of the performance is clear
ly shown In this additional bit Of informa-
ton in the Times Dispatch:
ct was rather strange with politics run
ming as high as 1t had been here that last
night when the returns were coming IN
baseball ranked over politics.. Baseball
cranks were wild over the defeat of the
Durham team by the Raleighites. Dur
ham had been ahead of Raleigh, and on
yesterday put up $1,000 against the Raleigh
team. Raleigh people came to the front,
and fully $50 boarded a special train to
Durham yesterday afternoon. The $1,000
was withdrawn when that crowd reached
Durham. No roofing had ever been seen
there before, and the team won by to 0,
and were borne to the depot on the should
ers Of their hackers
Baseball in North Carolina is still COM
paratively pure. Either Of two mines may
win in game between them. Against the
Democrats in the game of politics there
IS no chance The cards are stacked and
there is no betting.-New York Sun.
