and made him say where he stood. He had
to take a stand either with the decent
whites or against them. The non-commit
tal w hite was regarded with suspicion and
ostracised.
This brought many of them over. The
white women have been with the demo
crats everywhere. Their security was at
stake, and that cartoon which The Consti
tution published October 2d, representing
the white womanhood of this state appeal
ing to the white man’s ballot for protection
against the cloud of black domination ris
ing above the horizon typified Hie exact
condition. By (lie way, the democratic
leaders say that it was the most effective
cartoon they hail, and that is saying a
great deal, because young Jennette, of this
city, contributed many striking pictures to
the campaign.
The democrats got the advantage of
their opponents at the start by devoting
the first thirty days to quiet, systematic
educational work. They went at the pop
ulist witii the proposition that lhe and the
democrats bad many principles in com
mon, while ho had none in common with
the republicans. This was a truth which
the populist recognized, and ho had drift

Russell Was Badly Frightened.
Russell was frightenend half to death
last night. H" thought ids time, had

Wilmington, and late in the afternoon
skilled for Raleigh by the Seabord Air-

Asked what lie thought of the result
he said;
“Our ticket lias gone to bell; but 1 am

Democratic leaders here express regret
if any indignities were off' r d to the gov

For Good Health
Take the Best Medicine That Money
Can Buy
Sales, Cures, Merit, All Point to Hood’s
Sarsaparilla as the Best.
You must have pure blood if you expect
to have good health.'* This is sure.
Another tiling is sure. The best blood
purilier is Hood's Sarsaparilla. This tact
rests upon the basis of absolute proof.
The sales of Hood’s Sarsaparilla arc un
equaled. Its merit is unquestioned. Its
cures are often accomplished after other
iptcparations have failed to do any good.
Therefore we are justilied in urging you
to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla in preference
to all others if you have the. slightest symp
tom of Impure blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures scrofula, salt rheum, boils, pimples,

Effects of the Election.
The effect of the democratic legislative
victory on the negro In North Carolina
will be for the good of tit'' race. It wilt
, . move the m. r t . a disturbing cl< m< nt
in polities. R pub),cans of prominence,
like Attorney Gentral Wais.' r, assured me
that in the slate 2a,titH) white republicans
vot'd against the negro, and J L. Har
ris ;!! ,-her widely known republican, <’e
(j. . . f t as many reptii.'lieans as p0pu
,....: : democratic ticket. This tn
it t.-ir shows lite drift of things.
|'..f vats there have been many republi
cans who rebelled ag; tl>e ever, in
< ria-in:: prominence ano a-dvi ii'-ss ot
.... : .. . tell I I rolzing of
sundry cities and tow ns in the east v. as a
fatal error and is the pri no < tuse of their
great defeat this year. No one can now
saj r how too negro vote will be regulated,
but few ' 'll doubt that there will be legu
lation, iirm but. kindly. The fact that in
the ovet whelming democratic majority in
the legis ■' tut■ there are many of Hie
. in tl ■ evidence that
the best thought will be given the subject.
There is a settl' d determination that tltertt
is an en<i to tiie holding' of ofiieial positions
by negroes.
Tonight it is positively asserted at demo
cratic. headquarters that tiie democrats
have sure forty-one senators out of the fifty
and may gain four others. As t'.iairman
Simmons says:
■I, : ,11'tU'Hl.' flb'iilt lo smd a republi-
can senator in the east."
It is further asserted that, the democrats
ba.ve ninety-four members of the lower
house and may get three more.
The lat- st news at democratic headquar
ters shows that the hope that White, negro
republican congressman in the second
district, had been beaten by Fountain was
delusive. Everything hinged on Halifax
county, and White got. 1,500 majoritv
there, while the democratic county and
legislative tickets had 1,000 majority. White
is, therefore, elected by about 1,500.
Llnney's majority in the eighth Is under
1,000. Thomas, democrat., carries the third
by over 500.
Onslow was tiie county which settled the
question. It gave 500 democratic tnapor
ity—a gain of 325.
Lovell, democrat, is defeated by small
majority in the eighth district by Linney.
All the Other districts are democratic. As
to the second district, if the democratic
tickets with Fountain’s name on them
reae lied the precincts in time and thus
enable him to run anything like even with
tho democratic county tickets his election
1- assured by a good figure notw ithstanding
Loyd, tho populist dummy candidate, drew
off malty white votes Fowler's d< feat by
Thoma-, democrat, in Hie third is .sure.
Fowler got majorities and those slender
in only tvto counties. 'While in the fourth
district Atwater, indeendent. populist,
indorsed by tiie democrats, has stt b a.-t
1200 majority. Kitchen carried the li. It
by over 2,ot<>, while in the sixth Bellamy
has over 0,000 majority, having carried
every county. Als to the first ■distri.u,
Barry SkinneFs majority of only one in
Pasquotank, tho biggest republican coun
ts In the district, assured the election of
Small, democrat. Kluttz, democrat, has
•I* least 4,000 majority in the seventh,
Crawford, democrat, t.Ooo in the ninth.
There is 'no sort of doubt that the six
democratic judges are elected and cer
tainly eleven of the twelve solicitors and
almost certainly the round dozen. Dorsey
Battle. of Tarboro, democrat, deltats
Thomas H. iSutton, republican, for the
eastern criminal court judgeship by at
least 3,000.
Tiie republican and populist chairmen
concede that the democrats carried every
thing.
R, publican headquarters ceased to exist
Hr-, afternoon, Chairman Holton gong
home to Winston.
Governor Russell returned this morning
from Wilmington, where, he voted yester
day. While his train was at Maxton, Ex
ecutive Clerk Fowlo says there was a
crowd of 100 "Red Shirts,” some of whom
marched through the car. Fowle was with
tho governor and says the statements that
the governor was attacked or that any
violence -was attempted toward him was
untrue; that the Red Shirts were mostly
good-natured and not hilarious men, who
were In for a good time; that while there
were a few ugly spirits, the ruling element
was perfectly good-natured, and that the
governor did not resent anything said, but
took it good naturedly. Private Secretary
Cado says there was no assault at all and
the stories that tho governor was punched
and slapped and his ears pulletl are false.
Suclt stories were widely current and made
the democrats here indignant at the sup
posed perpetrators. There is great and
general pleasure at tiie refutation ot these
stories.
