RADICALS REBUKED.
Governor Glenn Delighted with
Democratic Victory.

Gov. Glenn was seen yesterday morning
in his Office and asked his views in regard
to the result of Tuesdays election. He
expressed himself in every wav pleased,
especially iu the election of Messrs. Hack
EFT and Crawford inthe Eighth and Tenth
districts, which secures to US solid demo
cratic delegation in the next Senate and
House of representatives
"Our large vote shows" he said, ''the
patriotism and justice of North Carolinlans.
Maliciously and falsely the Republican
papers and speakers have charged the pres
ent administration with reckless extrava-
gance, if not with misappropriation of
public funds, and especially have they as
sailed the management of the public
schools, but when the facts were published
that every cent was properly expended
and that the schools were conducted ON q
higher and better plane, affording longer
terms, better school-houses and equipment
and more competent teachers, the people
resented the falsehoods circulated and at
tested their approval by their ratification
at the polls"
Continuing, the governor said, Sin the
future as in the past the present admins
tration will faithfully and fearlessly guard
every interest of the state; will spend no
money not needed for public advance
ment and improvement, but will not let the
false ciamor of republican leaders deter it
from carefully protecting and promoting
the interests of the schools, and from the
proper care of all of the state institutions
for the helpless and infiIm, as well as for
the old Confederate soldier"
The governor said that in his opinion a
few of the chief reasons for our great VIC
tory in this, an off year, when people were
usually apathetic, were:
First. A rebuke to Marion Butler and
Daniel Russell for the part they tried to
take in the campaign, for the people felt
that in the past they had betrayed the
states interests in attempting to force the
full payment OF bonds, that the legislature
felt should be compromised on a true

the republican party could never hope to
increase in the state as long as they al
lowed themselves to be led by such men.
Second. The people were disgusted at
the falsehoods and misrepresentation set
forth In the speeches of Butler and Adams
and circulated IN some of the republican
papers, especially tie Industrial News and
by their vote intended to put the seal of
their condemnation on such Unfair and
false political methods.
Third That the vnte showed beyond
all question that the people had full con-
tidence in the democratic party and be-
lieved that their best interests would be
preserved by maintaining its honest ad-
minlstration and not by turning the state
over to such spOllsmen as compose the re
publican party.
The governor concluded by saying that
while proud of the victory, it would only
incite him and the others associated with |
him to try still harder to be worthy of the |
peoples confidence and to do everything in |
their power to give the people safe anu
economic, but at the same time, pro |
