the Republican party Is not only large
bat militant. that the corporate inter
ests. powerful as they are. have not
been able 10 eoerce the Middle West
into the support Of any Of the Repub
lican candidates who are regarded as
reactionary. This in itself is the most
hopeful sign OF Democratic victory.
Now. what prospect is there that
the Republican National Convention
win satisfy the urgent demands of re
form Republicans? / venture to pre-
dict that no serious attempt viii be
made to satisfy these demands Two
things are necessary to establish con
fidence in the intention of the Repub-
lican party to repeal its own laws and
to reform the abuses which have
grown out Of Republican legislation
and administration; and these two
things are, first, a platform specihca[
ly pledging the party 10 clearly defin-
ed reforms, and, second, to the nomi-
nation of a ticket composed of men
imbued with a spirit of reform.
eff in the coming campaign the Re
publicans have an ambiguous plat
form, filled with glittering generaii-
ties and fragrant with boquets thrown
at the Republican party, a Repubh-
can President elected upon it would
be as powerless as the present Presi-
dent has been. l say powerless-for
what has the President sue
ceeded in doing? There are
more trusts today than when he en-
tered the office, and he has never sue
ceeded in getting a law enacted to
strengthen the present law. He has
not succeeded in putting trust mag
nate in the penitentiary, and the only
large thing that has been imposed has
aroused more criticism than common
dation among Republican leaders. He
has not secured any tariff reform, and
vet he has been in Office for over
seven years. He has not secured the
enactment of the necessary labor leg
islation. He has not secured an in
come tax, and the Republican Sena-
tors forced him into compromise Of
the railroad question.

WILL JACKSON Be REMOVED
FROM LOCAL POSTOfHIGE
Continued from First Page.

Nashville today OF tonight TO confer
with friends and he may go on to
Washington to lay all the facts per
sonaIly before the President. He has
many warm friends among the Re
publican leaders OF the State and they
will rally to his support.
The dispatch to the Tennessean is
as follows:
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Co-
lumbia postOffice is again in the lime
light. 1t became known today that
the President had decided to retire
Postmaster Jackson because of per-
nicious political activity in connection
with the recent republican county con-
vention.
|, "Brownlow's faction and former
Postmaster Hughes went after the
scalp of Jackson, through the civil
service commission, charging that he
had unduly influenced clerks and car
riers. The action of the President is
the result of the commissions investi-
cation. Jackson made a fatal mis-
take in confessing his activity IN
Taft's interest and therefore came
within the scope of the Presidents
order prohibiting oficeholders from
taking part in political contests"
In the event that the news from
Washington should be correct the
question of filling the vacancy will be
an interesting one Several names
have been suggested for the office. 1t
is known that either H. F. Fariss or
w. A. Quarterman would not be adj
verse to handling the mail for the
people of the city. While he has new
er intimated anything of the kind 1t is
not thought likely that r. S. Hopkins,
the leader of the victorious Brownlow
faction of the party in this county,
would decline the appointment as
Postmaster However, Mr.. Hopkins
was a party to the mob convention at
Nashville that sat upon" the Presl-
dents heir to the throne, Secretary
Taft, and it is hardly likely that he
would stand much of chance for
political preferment at this particular
time.
Then there is Col Archaulus M.
Hughes who was rudely separated
from a Federal office about a year ago,
after having been at the pie counter
for many years, who might not be
adverse to holding the job again.
However, in view of the straight talk
that the Colonel is alleged to have
given the President about the time of
his decapitation it is hardly probable
that he will be rendered the place.
The postoffice tangIe has been al
most the sole topic of conversation
here today. The friends of the Post
master, and they are numerous and
are not confined by any means to the
members of his own party, are very
hopeful that there is mistake some
where. 1t is safe to say that ma
jority of the patrons of the Office
would regret to see change because
they are satisfied with the manner in
which Mr. Jackson has administered
the duties of the Office.

Henderson, 499; jackson, As:
Macon, "; Mcdowell, IL, Polk,
SO; Swain, 28S. This shows a
net gain in the gubernatorial
vote for the republicans of only
LOTT in the tenth district. How
ever we have lost no representa-
tives in the General Assembly
and the above evidence is adduc-
ed to show that our folks put up
a better fight than either of the
districts that gave republican
majorities and retired demo
cratic representatives in congress
at the recent election. It is just
as we'll to bear this in mind.

The Vote for
State Officers
Col. J. Bryan Crimes, Nom
inGG for Secretary Of
State, Leads the Ticket

The Canvassing Board finds the total
vote cast for the democratic nominees
to be more than 145, 700. The following
is the vote each one received in numer-
ical order, Col. Bryan Grimes heading
the ticket:
Secretery of State, j. Bryan Grimes,
las, 1853; Lieutenant Governor, w. C.
Newland, 145, 147; State Treasurer, B.
R. Lacy, 145, LAG; Governor, w. w.
Kitehin, las, 1O2; Com. Labor and Print
ing, M. L. Shipman, 145, 078; Insurance
Commissioner, ]. R. Young, 145, O69;
Auditor, DR.. B. F. Dixon, 145. O66; Com.
Agriculture, w. A. Graham, 145, O49;
Supt. Pub. Inst, ]. Y. Joyner, 145, O29;
Corporation Commissioner, B. F. Aycock,
IA, 989; Attorney General, T. w.
Beckett, 1882.
The majority of each one of these
over his republican opponent is more
than $1,000. Mr.. Kitchin's majority,
official, is S7,342. Mr.. Kitchen lost the
tenth district by majority of PIG,
while the majority against Mr.. Ship
man is 169.

of counties, and just here we
pause to ask, Shall the people
rule"? Furthermore, the republi-
cans succeeded this year in bring
ing out a large stay-at-home vote
that had been dormant since the
passage of the Amendment in
1900. But they have done their
best, and two years hence the
democrats will drop petty differ
ences and come back to the old
time majority.
North Carolina is democratic,
because that party has always
given the people wise and econ
omical administrations. The re-
publicans have brought shame
and disgrace upon the, State
every time they were clothed
with power and by their works
the people know them. - Thous-
ands of Northern republicans re-
siding in North Carolina voted
the State Democratic ticket at
the recent election, as usual, be-
lieving their own party incapa-
BILE of conducting the State gov
eminent. A republican victory
in North Carolina may come
sometime far out in the dim
distant future" but that day. is
a long way off, unless the demo-
Gratis make such a condition pos
sible by waring amongst them
selves. With a united party the
militant democracy will continue
it's march of progress in this
great commonwealth and gener-
atoms yet unborn will find it still
guiding the old ship of state in
NOrCn CafOllna.
While the reduction in the
democratic majority is not large,
the result should be the means
of bringing about a better under
standing among members of the
party throughout the State. Pre-
sent day differences upon minor
matters must be amicably ad-
justed and local disturbances
settled in a conciliatory manner.
The people should rule every
where, in accordance with the
good old democratic doctrine of
equal rights to all and special
privileges for none" Let us
adopt safe and sane methods in
the conduct of party problems,
as we have long since done in
the administration of the affairs
of State, and all the forces of
radicalism connot dislodge us at
any period during the next forty
years. But let us bear in mind
that united we stand, divided,
we fall"

The Districts We Lost.

Let not the democrats of the tenth
district be charged with disloy-
atty on account of having lost
their congressman. A compari-
son of it's vote with that of the
fifth and eighth districts will not
be out of place. The vote for
Governor four years ago and at
the recent election shows that
the tenth district has sustained
it's reputation better than either

of the others, and but for local
disturbances in three or four
counties the democracy up here
would have survived the
shock with little difficulty: But
the figures tell their own story:
In 1904 Governor Glenn's ma
jority in the counties now conn
posing the fifth district was
Alta. The counties giving him
a lead over Mr.. Harris were:
Alamance, la; Caswell, 675;
Durham, 682; Forsythe, 269;
Granville, 1887; Guilford, 1906,
Orange, 600, Persons, 387;
Rockingham, 800, while Stokes
gave Mr.. Harris a majority OF
366 and Surry 575. Mr.. Kitchin's
majority this year in the same
counties is 1855 less than the
gubernatorial vote of 1904, his
lead over Mr.. Cox being 1879.
Alamance gave him 80 majority;
Caswell, 555; Durham, 269;
Granville, LISA; Guilford, 1888
Orange, So; Person, At; Rocking
ham, 156. Mr.! Cox received a
majority of SAB in Stokes and
961 in Surry. Besides losing it's
democratic representative in
Congress the fifth district is
short" two senators and three
members of the lower branch of
the State Legislature.
In the eighth district Governor
Glenn's majority four years ago
was $40. The majorities by
counties follows: Glenn ALE
gheny, 2O3, Cabarrus. 289; Ire
dell, $40; Rowan. 1899, total,
2431. Harris-Alexander, 135,
Ashe, 800; Caldwell, $50; Stanly,
A; Watauga, 1876: Wilkes, 1867;
total, 2O91. At the recent cleo
ton, Allegheny gave the demo-
cratic candidate for Governor;
1O2 majority; Iredell, 787 and
Rowan, 996; total 1885. Alex
ander gave Mr.. Cox a majority
of 283; Ashe, /; Cabarrus, 2O1;
Caldwell, 2O9; Stanly, SO; Watau-
ga, 281, Wilkes, 1882, or a total
of $500, being a majority for the
nominee of 915 and a
gain for the republicans of 1858
over the vote for Governor in
1904. The democrats of this
district lose their representative
for Congress, two state senators
and one member of the House,
yet it will be seen that the losses
in a general way are much less
than the fifth.
Lastly, we come to the de
graded" tenth which gave
Governor Glenn 1852 majority in
1904 and was carried by Mr..
Cox this time over Mr.. Kitchin
by 215 votes. Following is the
result by counties four years ago,
showing majorities: Glenn
Buncombe, 73O; Clay, 26; Hay
wood, 557; Jackson, II; Ruther-
ford, $40, Pennsylvania, 81.

Result Of The Election.

The State Canvassing Board
has completed it's work of tabu-
lating the returns of the recent
election and filed the result of it's
findings with the Secretary of
State. The returns show that
the majority of Mr.. Kitchin for
Governor is 37,342 over J. Ell
wood Cox, his republican oppon-
ent. Mr.. Cox carried twenty
eight counties, viz: Alamance,
Alexander, Ashe. (by l vote)
Brunswick, Cabarus, Caldwell,
Catawba, Cherokee, Davidson,
Davies Forsythe, Graham, Hen
derson, Jackson, Macon, Madi-
son, Mcdowell, Mitchell, Polk,
Randolph, Sampson, Standy,
Stokes, Surry, Swain, Watauga,
Wilkes and Yadkin. The vote
was a tie in Montgomery and Mr..
Kitchin received majorities in
the remaining sixty-nine cour-
ties, his total vote being las, 102,
as against 128, 761 cast for Gov
ernor Glenn in 1904, showing a
gain in the democratic guberna-
torial vote, at the recent election,
of 1854.
Mr.. Cox, the republican candi-
date received 1O7, 100 votes, as
against 79, sos polled for Chas.
J. Harris, Governor Glenn's op-
ponent in 1904, a difference of
28.255 in favor of the republican
gubernatorial ticket and a demo-
cratic loss of 1874.
Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, the result in the State
is by no means discouraging. The
republicans expected to reduce
the democratic majority to 20. 600
and some of them actually. claim
ed they were going to wipe it
out" altogether. Discussions
among democrats on account of
temperance legislation and rate
regulation, augmented by local
differences in many counties, are
responsible for about all of the
republican gains, and the wonder
is that the majority reaches the
81, 900 mark. Many democrats
contend that we have been over
dosed for some time with a num-
Der of party nostrums, which con-
tributed to the reduction in the
democratic vote this year, The
railroads helped some and fully
twenty-five per cent. of the anti
prohibition people (democrats)
either remained away from the
polls, or supported the republi-
can candidates. Added to this
was an immense corruption fund
poured into the fifth, eighth and
tenth districts, which made pos
sible the capture of the purchase
able vote by the republicans.
Looks like they bought nearly
everything in sight in a number
