Democracy Turned out in Large
Numbers and Won ROusing
Victory.

The splendid news of rousing Demo-
cratic victory in North Carolina swept
with electric rush over the State last
night, and once again has the honest
manhood of North Carolina rebuked
those who would throttle this proud
State -
1t is only the size of the Democratic
majority that is in doubt, and up to
midnight, with definite returns from
about forty-five counties with Demo-
cratic majority of about $4,000 votes, it
looks as if the majority would exceed
60, 000
The counties heard from are counties
in the eastern and central section of the
State, and the majorities these give are
larger than is expected in smaller coun-
ties in the west, but there is Nec, doubt
Of a sweeping victory.
Up to midnight the returns from all
the counties received had not varied 200
votes from the estimate given by the
News and Observer. The people took a
great interest in the election and the
vote over the State is a large one.
The voting of scratched tickets was
extremely small, and the vote that Judge
Clark received for Chief Justice was
great one, and is crushing blow to
those who made so desperate an as
tween 5000 and 5000 voters.
The returns received UP to midnight
indicate that all ten Democratic Con-
gressmen have been elected.
The returns are as follows:
