BAN>sER DISTRICT.
A Democratic politician speaking of the
results Of the election this morning de-
cIared that the Second is the safest Dem
ocratic district in the State. Formerly
1t was doubtful. if not dangerous to the
Democrats The Fourth and the Second
were equally kelly TO go Republican II
they We're allowed a fair election. Now
lit is best to court a fair election in both
districts. because the new registration
has made both certainly Democratic.
It is a curious phenomenon that the same
condit ons are equally pleasing to the Re-
publicans. An equally well Informed Re-
publican referring to the same results
said that the election was not only per-
fect.y honest so far as his side had any
knowledge. but 1t was satisfactory We
wish he said, ITO have white party
There is not a sens bic man IN the Re-
publican party in this district who does
not endorse what C. F. Causey. of Suf-
folk, said about the exclusion Of the me-
groes But he was not put up for Con-
sress because 1t was irnprudent for
candidate to talk
The Democrats. he said, do not believe
we are rid of the scent of the negro yet,
but they are improv; ns SO much that one
Of the officers OF the polls at which
served as judge asked me to bring the
returns of the precinct TO the clerks Of
fee That is q. piece of confidence here
tofore unknown.
