DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN NORTH CAROLINA Republicans Secure Only Twb of Nine Comgressmen. MAJORITY ABOUT 20,000 Klfctlon Paste. OIT Quietly, No It lot In— Being Reported From Any Seel Ion, an Outcome Wished For but Hardly Expected. Raleigh, Nov. 9.—The Democrats have carried North Carolina by 20,000 majority. The next house will be Democratic by 00 majority, and the senate by 30 majority. The Democrats elected their entire judiciary ticket and seven congressmen certain, with the other two close. Not a riot is reported. All the black belt counties send word that the election passed off quitely. Ill a nnmber of the black counties along the coast the negroes either did not go to the polls or voted the white ticket. This was notablo in New Hanover, Richmond, Robeson, Edgecomb and Halifax conn, ties, where large Republican majorities were reversed. George White, the only negro in the present congress, will have a very small majority, if elected at all. While every one hoped for a peaceful termination of the bitter political con test that has been waged here for the post three months, a conflict on election day was regarded as almost inevitable, and lawakiding citizens are congratu lating themselves on the result. A special from Wilmington says: The Democratic majority in the city and connty is about 1,233. In the city proper the majority for the Democrats is abont 1,000. The Republican majority for congressmen two years ago was about 05o. The Republican leaders assert there was manipulation of votes, lint that they counselled their followers not to resist it. The Sixth congressional district is Democratic by probably 4,000 majority. Two years ago it was carried by tho Re publicans and Populists by 5,000. Chairman Simmons at noon says the Democratic majority is fully 22,000, with good working majorities In both honses of the legislature. Apparently Democrats are elected in all except ono of the congressional districts. This is a Democratic gain of seven, and it is not yet ccrteain that the en tire congressional delegation of nine will not be Democratic. The state is quiet and the Democrats, while rejoiced at their victory, are making no demonstrations likely precipitate trouble. Right hundred of the leading white citizens of Wilmington met in mass meeting this morning and adopted reso lutions calling upon tho Republican mayor and police olliuers to resign their positions at onto, and expelling the negro editor of a Republican newspaper here from the city, giving him 24 boarf to leave. »Slop LomMm Every cough makes your throat more raw and irritable.

MURPHY TO LOSE HIS SEAT Democrat* Gain Twelve Congressmen In the State, but Fall on Tbetr Legislative Ticket, Thu* Milking Certain Flection of a New Senator. New York, Nov. 9.—Revised returns aa they came In early today made prac tically no change in those of last night, which showed the elcctiou of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt (Rep.) for governor by a plurality of from 18,000 to 20,000 over Augustus Van Wyck (Dam.) As compared with the election of 1896, when lllsck defeated Porter, this shows a Republican loss of from 190,000 to 193, 000. Roosevelt caine to the Harlem river with 105,000 plurality and Van Wyck had but 85,000 In Greater New York with whioh to meet him. An analysis of the vole outside of the city shows that Roosevelt lost (11,500 as compared wilh Black. Iu the city his vote was 61,01)0 smaller than black's. In the country districts Van Wyck rail 20, 000 and iu the city about 51,000 ukead of Porter. The state's congressional delegation will probably send 15 Republicans to 19 Democrats, a Democratic gain of 12. In old New York city (Manhattan borough) no Republican has been returned and a notable feutnre of the election was the deleat by Captain William Aster Chan ter of Lientenuut Quigg lor congress in the Fourteenth district, where former overcame a Republican plurality of 11, 790 two years ago aud won by abont 8,000. The state legislature will bo Republi can on joint billot by 32 votes, assuring the election of a Republican to succeed Senator Edward Murpby, Jr., on the ex- piration of bis term on March 3, 1899. The state senate will stand 27 Republi cans to 23 Democrats, a Democratic gain of nine. The Republicans wiil have 8! members of the assembly and the Dem ocrats 01. This is Ropabiicau gain of 11. The voto np the state furnished several surprises. Rochester, the home of George W. Aldridge, commissioner of public works, gave Roosevelt only 420 plurality, against 4,190 fur Black in 1890. Rensselaer county, home of Governor Black, gave Van Wyck a plurality of about 700. Black carried it by 3,800. 'Roosevelt ran ahead of Black's fignres in Alleghany by 300 and in Brooklyn by 2,500. ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. 9. — Returns from every connty in tho state indicate the election of Wbittemore (Rep.) for state treasurer by a plurality of nearly 80,- 000. Few of tho returns aro eumplete. The majority for other liepublicau can didates will probably exceed that of Wbittemore, as he was ent heavily in Cook connty, including Chicago. Einrngk legislative reinrus have been received to show that the lower honse will be Democratic by abont six votes and the seuaio Republican by about 11 votes. In Cook conntr, aside from congress men the entire Republican ticket, with possibly one or two exceptions, was eloctod by pluralities ranging from 5,(XXj to (1,000. The county was carried for McKinley by nearly 70,000. Iu Winnebago connty, Frank S. Re tail (prohibition) was elected to the egislatnre, the first time in the history of the state that a prohibition legis lative candidate has won. CONTROL OF HOUSE IS NOW IN DISPUTE Republicans Claim majority of Thirteen Over All. CHAIRMEN GIVE FIGURES MICHIGAN. Detroit, Nov. 9.—The result* of th* ■tale election are unchanged by any later returns or estimates. Governor Piogree's plurality is placed at abont 85,000. It nearly' holds its own with the governor's plurality of two years ago proportionately to the size of the vote cast. All the congressmen elected are Republicans. The legislature, which is to elect a United States senator for the fnll term, stands politically about as follows: Senate, 29 Republicans and four Democrats; honse, 93 Republicans and seven Democrats. ' FLORIDA. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 9.—The vote yesterday, judging from retnnu now in, is from 10 to 20 per cent lighter for both parties than in 1890. The whole Democratic ticket is elected. The con stitutional amendment requiring that bonds of state officers be in aonnd surety and guaranty companies was carried overwhelmingly. The legislature just elected, which Is practically solidly Dem ocratic, will choose a successor to Sena tor Pasco. Kerr of the Democratic Committee Says That There Will He Opposition Majority of 27, hut Further Returns May Show Changes. Washington, Nov. 9.—Interest in the election today centered in the polit ical complexion of the next house, the senate being concededly Republican Although Chairman Babcock of the Re publican congressional committoe did not leave his headquarters until after 4 o'clock this morning he wus back agaiu at bn desk shorcly after 9 o'clock dls- patr.ing telegrams to all the doabtfal districts urging the ebairmeu to hnrry in the returns. Mr. Babcock in ilia fl): nres is taking nothing for granted. This morning bo made what be termed an nllra-couservutive estimate in which he.eliminated a number of duubtful dis tricts. This estiiuute gives the Repub llcan 185 members in the next honse, a majority of 13 over all. Chairman Kerr of the Democratic congressional committee bail not ap peared at Democratic headquarters at 10 o'clock, aud no advices lutd been re ceived since bn gave ont his statement at 8:30 this morning. This statement claimed an opposition majority of 27. At 2 o'clock, Chairman Kerr, of the Democratic congressional committee, claimed the certain election of 190 Democrats and fnsionlsts, an opposition majority of 23 and a Democratic ma jority over all of 6.

Th* aver age msn of to-day thinks it beneath his dignity to bother abont his health until it is gone. Even then he only takes measures to restore it in an in- different, contemptu ous sort of way. Men cannot learn too soon that health is the most import- ant thing in lib—in bet, is lire. Without it the most brilliant msn will be a failure, and the most robust man arilr rapidly be come s physical wreck. The man who neglects the little headaches, the loss of appetite ud sleep, nervousness, hot flush ings, cold chills, heavy head, lax muscles; and the mnltitnde of bad feeling* that are the herald* of approaching sickness and disease, must pay s tremendous penalty.

They are sufficient to show that next legislature of this slate is almost sorely Republican in each branch and certainly Republican on joint ballot. According to complete returns from the state, with the exception of 11 few districts, the next legislature will stand: Republicans, 29; Democrats, 23. The Republicans will tbas elect a no* cessor to United States Senator Gray (Dem) Congressman Il.mdv (Dem.) wax de feated by John II. Hnffeker (Rep.) by a majority that will not be less than 2,000. By the same margin the Republicans elected Dr. Heieler Ball state treasurer and Jobu A. Lingo state auditor. They also elect their connty tickets in each of the comities. It wus a dean Republi can sweep. IDAHO. Boise Citt, Nov. 0.—For the first time in the history uf this state women have voted for a congressman and stats officers. They took the liveliest interest in the proceedings. In view of the iso lation of many places accurate returns ore not yot available. It is therefore somewhat difficult. to say what effect the voto of the women has had on the general result. It is known, however, that the women have not voted along partisan lines. Twelve precincts on congress give Hepburn 121; Wilson. 302; Gann, 182. For governor: Moss, 253; SUnoenberg. 481; Anderson, CJ. TENNESSEE. Nashviixk, Nov. 9.—The majority jf McMillin, (Dom.) for governor, over' Fowler (Rep.) ia estimated at from 10,- 000 to 20,000. The Democrat* have a majority of the legislature. The, Re- rablicans have carried the First and lecond congressional districts, the other eight giving Democratic majorities. GENTLEMENS How about a nice, new, stylish Hat ?
