discharge the duties that give that

sick she leaves vacancy which nc

AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT.
The remainder of those who failed to
vote at the last election constitute a very
important element in our State. This
class is made up of farmers, merchants,
Iaborers and business men. who are UNI
alterably opposed to the Democratic ma
chine. and who were not thoroughly sat
istied at the last election that the success
of the Republican party would not mean
negro domination. By the next election
there will be no question about the fact
that the policy adopted at the Greensboro
convention, which is really the policy of
fair and equal treatment to all men
with regard purely to their merits as men.
will become the permanent policy OF the
Republican party in the State, and the
result will be that this class of people
will take a. stand in opposition to the
Democracy.
BIG DEMOCRATIC LOSS.
The Democrats lost $1,000 white votes
in the State at the last election and
these losses were sustained in almost
every county in the State, and this too,
in spite of the fact that they made the
most aggressive campaign that has been
made in North Carolina since the war
They not only had their prominent speak
ers on the stump. but the Governor Of the
State quit his post of duty and spent
different sections. While they sustained
their greatest losses in the Piedmont sec
ton and the Western part Of the State.
at the same time, the election returns
disclose the fact that the Republican
party has secured a firm foothcld among
the white voters in almost every county
in Eastern Carolina.
The Republican party of our State. at
It's last convention. amended it's plan Of
organization SO as to provide that re-
presentation in the future in our State
conventions should be based upon the
number of Republican votes cast at the
previous election and am sure that every
loyal Republican in the State is willing
that the next national convention shall
restrict representation from the various
States to the number Of votes actually
cast by the Republicans thereof. The
real Republicans Of the South are willing
to stand or fall in the future by the
record which they make with respect to
getting votes. and this plan, if adopted
will. in my opinion. act as a great in
centive to the Republicans throughout
the South and will result in an increas-
ed vote for the Republican party in every
State south of Mason and Dixon's line

TOM. It is claimed that onlysl COG negroes
voted the Republican ticket In the entire.
State, but in the face of these facts, the
Republicans polled 6S121 votes for their
State ticket. and the Republican vote on
the legislative ticket, estimated from the
returns of the vote in sixty counties'
shows that the Republican vote was
about 73, 900.
Under the operation of the poll tax
feature Of the amendment, at least 10000
white men were deprived of the right to
vote and l am satisfied that at least
four-ffths of this number were Republi-s
cans In fact. Senator Simmons has con-
tended all along that the great majority
of those who were distranchlsed !or
!! non-payment Of poll tax were Repuoll-
cans.
THE LAST MAJORITY
At the August election in 1900, Governor
Aycock's majority was about 61,00O At
the recent eiect on the Democratic ma
pority on the State ticket was $1,000 Ac-
cording to the election returns the Demo
cratic candida tie lacked 3l,eoo votes OF
receiving a majority of the Wnlte votes
Of the State and In this election 1T must
be remembered that had it not been for
the necr vote their majority would
have fallen far below that which Gov
ernor Aycock received in l9e
We have at last reached that period in
our history as a State when the Demo-
crats are compelled to admit that they

airy increase that they may have re-
ceived in the way of a majority for their
ticket If the Femocrate had been cor
rect in their contention heretofore as to
the number If white Republicans in North
Caroli-a, then our party made unpre-
cedented gains among the white people
, at the last election. The Republican can
didate for Governor in 900 only received
126 OtO votes in the entire State and If the
contention that 1900 negroes voted the
Republican ticket at the election be true,
then we had only 5000 white Republicans
in North Carolina in 1890, and the vote
this wear would indicate that we n We
gained $1,000 white votes. On the other
hand. if the contention of those who nave
said that we had about $4,000 white votes
be true we have gained something over
81 COO white votes on the State ticket. and
about 49, 900 votes on the legislative tick
ct Out of a white vote of 39i,09o. only
1873 900 white votes were cast at the last
election. which leaves 10000 white people

rally arises a S to what course this class
of people will pursue in the future 1t

who have been DISTINGUISHED on account
