Politics and Politicians.

Up to date we have not been able to
obtain the official vote in the Senatorial
district composed of Ashe, Allegheny
and Watauga. The Democratic candi-
date, Mr.. T. c. Bowie, made magnifi-
cent campaign, and in a joint canvass
with his opponent, by name Wellborn,
scored tR3 most notable victories of
generation in that section. The Demo
cratic candidate for the House was elect
ed in Ashe and Allegheny In Allegheny,
Mr. Bowie got 100 majority. 1t is pre-
sumed that he also carried Ashe 1t
will depend upon the size of the official
majority in Watauga whether Mr.. Bowie
or Wellborn is elected
The Bayboro Sentinel in its last issue,
has an article endorsing Mr. owen H.
Guion, of New Bern, for Speaker of the
House.
Speaking of this yesterday, Senator
Simmons, who was leaving for a visit to
New Bern, said that he did not suppose
that Mr.. Guion would be a candidate for
the position as it was his first session.
He said also that he knew Mr.. Guion
we'll; that he was a deep student of
affairs and was easily one of the best
lawyers in Eastern North Carolina and
one of the ablest young lawyers in the
State. mot only is he a man of SUI
perior ability" said Mr.. Simmons, "but
he has as great a capacity for work as
any man 1 ever knew, and / predict for
him a brilliant success"

Col. ]. C.. L. Harris, a prominent Re-
publican of this State, says that the
proper course for the Republican or
ganization to pursue in North Carolina
now is to disband. A meeting of the
Executive Committee should be called,
he thinks, and all the Republicans turned
loose so that some former Democrats
can take charge. Colonel Harris says
that two years hence there will be a con-
test for delegates to the national con-
vention between the present >organiza-
ton and the negro, led by few white
men and that this contest will embarrass
the national organization and disgrace

change in methods is made the party in

NO FRAUD IN THE TENTH.

The election on Tuesday of last week
was the fairest ever held in North Caro-
lima. Nobody anywhere has whispered
anything to the contrary except the
partisans of CONGRESSMAN Moody in the
Tenth district. Never but once in that
district has any man been deprived of
office by fraud. except when Pearson
stole the seat in Congress to which
Crawford was honestly elected. That
theft killed Pearson in that district In
an Incorporate and ranting Interview In
the Asheville Gazette, Moody declares
he will contest the election of Gudger
and alleges wholesale fraud. Nobody
pays any attention to his rawlings except
the revenue officers and the distillers
who sneeze when Radical politicians
take snuff. Everybody knows that the
Republicans base their contest upon the
idea that the Republicans would like to
increase their majority in the House
and will wish to turn out all Democrats
who have a small majority.
We have received letter from Mr..
S. Gallert, Democratic leader in Ruth
erford county, resenting the intimation
of Maj. Moody that the election in Jnat
county was not fair. He shows that Fed
eral office holders were alert to help
Moody, that they were present when the
county board met and canvassed the re-
turns, and made no objection, and did
not insinuate that any fraud had been
committed, and takes pride in showing
that Rutherford has come to be the ban
ner Democratic county in the Tenth dis
trict. Men of all parties who know the
character and spirit of the Democratic
leaders in Rutherford understand that
the charge of unfairness against Ruther-
ford county is made merely to give an
excuse for the groundless contest.
AS for the allegation of fraud at Tyron,
in Polk, Mr.. M. l.. Shipman told the
Asheville Citizen:
"a reputable citizen Of that precinct
informed me, on Thursday, that the only
thing Fisher did was to decline regis
tration to an applicant who refused to
testify that he had been a resident of
the State for two years in compliance
with the law When the whole truth is
Known It will be found that the Repub-
licans of Polk county are as deep in the
mud as the Democrats are in the mire.'
'"The fellow who was refused registra-
ton by Mr.. Fisher for the reason above
recited had warrant issued for Fish
er's arrest and a Deputy United States
marshal appeared in Tyron on Monday,
the day set for challenges by the cleo
ton officers, to make the arrest. Fisher
inquired if the case was not bailable,
only to be told by the official that he
must go with him to Saluda immediate
ly This Mr.. Fisher declined to do and
went on with his work at the polling
place. His friends made up the neces-
sary bond for Fishers appearance before
the United States commissioner on the
day set for trial and the matter ended
there. The scheme seems to have been
to drag Fisher away in order to prevent
legitimate challenges from being sus-
tanned. Democrats contend that the law
has not been violated in any particular"

The lesson of the election is the lesson
of every other election ever held in this
country. to wit: That the American
people reason with their stomachs, and
not with their heads. The only excep-
lions to this rule have been in the
Southern States, where the negro ques-
ton has been too weighty to be set
aside for any other consideration.

NEW BUILDING NEEDED.

The Legislature ought to remove the
arsenal and build a suitable building on
the lot purchased by the State, opposite
the Presbyterian church. The State
would save $500 it annually pays for rent
and would provide suitable place for
offices for the Adjutant- General, Com
missioner of Labor, committee rooms and

JUST LIKE HIM.

1t turns out that in the returns from
Burke county, as printed, the Senatorial
vote at Lower Fork had been omitted
because it was not sent up by the pre-
cinct's judges of election. At that pre-
cinct Major w. A. Conley received Sc
votes and Judge Avery Is. Though the
vote as canvassed showed Judge Avery
entitled to the certificate he declined to
accept it.
This action is exactly what everybody
who knows Judge Avery expected of him.
He is a fair fighter upon an open field,
bat never in his long and honorable pub
lie career has he been the recipient of
political honors that belong to another.
Maj. Conley received the most votes, and
Judge Avery properly declines position
that is his only through Irregularities.
He was the victim Of political differences
in Mcdowell with which he had nothing
to do. and for which he was in nowise
responsible The whole State is the loser
because of Judge Avery's defeat. In the
Senate he would have been a leader for
just and wise legislation.

An interesting case was heard by Clerk
Collins yesterday, in which the Kin
ston- Carolina Railroad Company petit
toned to assess and condemn the land of
stephen Stroud and others for right OF
wav to run their railroad, in the Deep
Run section. The contention of the de-
PENDANTS is that the Kinston- Carolina
Railroad is not bona fide railroad but
tram road hauling logs to the Gay
Lumber Company's mill.-Kinston free
Press.
A special to the Washington Post from
New York says:
at is now regarded here as practically
certain that j. Pierpont Morgan has
secured such an interest in the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad, either per-
sonally or through friends, that he VIII
be able to checkmate any effort on the
part of the rivals of the Southern Rail-
way to embrace the latter. He was
quick to scent the plans of the Harri-
man Gould and Moore people, either
singly or together, to make inroads into
Southern Railway territory. 1t is
thought that the Seaboard was ready to
make a coup, if it received sufficient as
sistance from Morgan's competitors to
the west of the Mississippi River. A
highly interesting story was current to-
day, which may have a good deal of
truth in it. 1t is given for what it is
worth and is as follows; #
Representatives of the Seaboard Com
pany-chiehy those known as the Rich
mond contingent-are said to have bought
large blocks of Louisville and Nashville
stock last spring and were preparing to
make things lively, when Morgan got
wind of what was up. 1t was about that
time that Gates went in and 'scooped' in
a majority of the stock. President John
SHELTON Williams, of the Seaboard sys-
tem-so the report goes-had planned to
get the Louisville road himself and share
it with Hartman, Gould and the Moores,
who had just bought the Choctaw road.
The latter reached Memphis, to a con
nection with the Illinois Central -1and
Louisville roads. But these plans failed
and now the Richmond people are. re-
ported to be loaded up with large
block of minority Louisville. which the
Morgan people, it is alleged, declined to
accept on the terms paid for the Gates
holdings. Much of this minority stock,
it is reported here, has been thrown over
during the last thirty days. This fact,
some assert, accounts for the weakness
of Louisville shares. 1t is said here that
it is the intention of Mr. Morgan not to
make any immediate change in the re-
lations between the Southern and Frisco
systems, aside from possible traffic
changes, the exact nature of which has
not yet been made known

A few days ago Captain Summerrcw,
of the Carolina and North Western Rail-

negro. At Hudson as the train started
from the station the negro got on with
out ticket or money, and Captain Sum
merow stopped the train to put him off.
The negro stepped off, the train started
and he got on again, this continued sew,
eral times. when finally the conductor
picked up a piece Of iron and the negro
promptly took it from him. About this
time Mr.. L. P. Henkcl of this place,
went to the assistance of the conductor.
and by their combined efforts the negro
was kept off the train, though he had
to be actually kicked off the steps by
Mr.. Henkel and another man until the
train got under way. The negro is known
along the line and is said to be dan
gerous fellow.-Lenoir News.

WORTH A DOZEN HILLS OR A
THOUSAND CLEVELANDS.

The Louisville Courier-Journal has a
long editorial, reviewing the election of
last Tuesday and the preceding cam
paign, with a forecast of the future Mr..
Waterson sees the probabilities of
national Democratic victory in 1894 If
wisdom presides in the councils of the
Democratic party. He sees the need of
astute leadership and believes that
Arthur P. German is the man of the
hour. We quote:
''The Democratic party has clear
field before it for 1904. In Mr.. German,
at least, it has one National leader of
surprising wisdom and experience, a
Democrat from the crown of his head to
the soles of his feet. He Will presently
resume his place in the counsels Of the
nation. His word should pass for much
with every thinking Democrat. He is
not only a wise man. He is an upright,
courageous man, worth a dozen Hills, or
q thousand Clevelands. For the time
being, at least, let us rally about Cor
man, for, whether he leads us to victory
or defeat, he will not lead US astray."
