THE ELECTION YESTERDAY

The great Democratic victory in North
Carolina is cause for congratulation. 1t
is worth more for Peace, Progress and
Prosperity in this good State than a
general Democratic victory in all other
States. - H4
Interest centered in New York where
it was a contest of the metropolis against
the State. Coler's majority in New York
city is the largest on record, and when
it became known that mis- majority in
Greater New York was greater than
anybody had claimed, it looked like he
had been elected Governor But Odell
maintained his immense upstate ma
iority of 1900 and is elected by COM
paratively very small plurality. In 1900
his majority was Ill 900. The Democrats
gain several Congressman in New York.
The result of the election makes the
fight in New York close for President in
1904
In the other States there are gains and
losses distributed for both parties, and
the result shows no material drift in
the political currents.

AIbemarle, N. c., Nov. 4.-Late yester-
day afternoon news reached here of the
death of the little son of Mr.. Samuel
Kirk, caused by shotgun in the hands
of a twelVe-year-old son of Mr.. Jas A.
Milton, five miles east of Albemarle
Mr.. Kinks son had gone to spend the
day with the Milton boys. Millions son
went into back room and took out a
new hammerless breech-loading shot
gun, which he was showing to the other
boy, and in some way it was fired, the
whole load taking effect in little Kirk s
temple on the right side, and producing
immediate death, tearing hole in his
head about as large as two silver dol
lars, tearing his right eye almost out
of his head and splattering his brains on
the wall of the room three feet away.
Parties who saw it say it was one Of
the most heart-rending scenes ever wit
messed in this section of the State. The
boy who discharged the gun was thrown
into a nervous chill which almost
proved fatal to him. From what parties
say it was nothing criminal intended,
but purely an accident.

OF COURSE IT WAS A PUT UP JOB.

There were some negroes in North Car
olina who voted against Pritchard's party
because of the insult offered them in the
Greensboro State convention and for the
ingratitude manifested by removing ne
groes from office at the behest of the
Hill-billies. But the negro politicians,
who we're given the wink by Pritchard'
showed yesterday that they were in the
game" to fool the white folks. Dave
Lane, the negro delegate to the State
convention, who was induced not to take
his seat in that body, went up to the
polls yesterday and, of course, voted the
full Republican ticket.
The Greensboro play hasn't fooled any
body. The negro delegates were kicked
out in a spectacular manner and the
white folks were invited to come forward
and take the places of the negroes in Re-
publican meetings and at the polls. Not
n dozen attended the convention and not
many more voted with the Republicans
at the polls yesterday.
The day has passed when the people
can be fooled by such transparent tricks
as the Greensboro convention employed.

advantages of knowing the value of the
services rendered by Senator Simmons,
to say that he has shown himself to pos
sess all the elements called for in the
position he fills He has a genius for
organization. That is a gift that is a
weakness after one campaign ii its pos
SCISSOR does not hitch his kite to star.
Mr.. Simmons believes in organization to
further some principle or sentiment. He
knows that organization is worthless un-
less the breath of a great purpose ami
how to plan, how to execute, how to mar
shall all his forces for battle. He never
takes anything for granted. When it
looks like victory is assured all along
the lines and others are getting ready
to cheer, Mr.. Simmons is busily engaged
strengthening the weak places. He knows
the value of printers ink. He writes
trenchantly, vigorously, plainly, and with
out any frills. He believes in the spoken
word and the printed page in converting
and enthusing voters. He understands
also the personal element that enters into
all great undertakings. He not only can
plan and execute, but when necessary he
can go before the people and by clear
and able presentation of the issues win
their endorsement and stimulate them to
enthusiastic efforts. So capable, so mas
terful, so successful has he shown him
self in the management of the State
campaign that not a few have suggested
that he would make a model National
Chairman. There is no doubt that if
called to lead the party in the national
campaign, he would show ability of a
high order, rcsourcefulness and capacity,
and would be equal to that great position
