THE STATE ELECTION.
It is impossible at this time to give
to oar readers any official returns of .the
late election result in the State. As
soon as they are all in we will publish
a tabulated statement of the vote cast
for Presidential electors and State offi
cers. At present the estimates are placed as
follows:
For Bryan electors, about 20,000 ma
jority. For Raasell, Governor, about 14,000
plurality.
The State Fusion ticket is elected by
about 40,000 majority.
Congressmen elect are as follows:
1st District Harry Skinner, of Pitt
County, Populist.
2d District Geo. H. White, of Edge
combe County, Republican.
3 J District John E. Fowler, of Samp
sou County, Populist.
4th District William F. Stroud, of
Chatham County, Populist.
5th District W. W. Kitchin, of Per
son County, Democrat.
6th Distiict Charles H. Martin, of
Anson County, Populist.
7th District Alonzo C. Shuford, of
Catawba County, Populist.
8th District Romulus Z Linney, of
Alexander County, Republican.
9th D.strict Richmond Pearson, of
Buncombe County, Republican.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The latest returns from the counties
show that the Populists can organize the
Senate with the help of only one Re
publican or Democrat, and that the Re
publicans are short ten of a majority in
the House. The Legislature will stand:
Senate Populists, 24; Republicans,
17; Democrats, 9.
House Republicans, 51; Populists,
34; Democrats, 34; in one county (Jack
son) there was a tie vote.
The Republicans will lack 18 votes to
elect a United States Senator, and the
Populists will lack 28. The Populists
have it in their power to elect one of
their number or some other advocaM
of the free coinage of silver, if they de
sire to do so.
The election brought many changes,
none more agreeable than the election
of the Hon. Geo. H. White, LL. D , to
Congress from the Second district of
this State. He is is a gentleman of cult
ure and refinement, a successful lawyer,
for several terms a district solicitor in
the eastern part of the State, also a mem
ber of the State Legislature, and last,
but not least, a Presbyterian elder and
Sabbath School superintendent. Mr.
White is a gentleman of unblemished
character, and a representative of whom
our race may well be proud. He deliv
ered the annual address at Biddle last
Jane, and received the honorary degree
of LL. D. His honors come in rapid
succession, but he wears them with
credit to himself and his people, and
with usefulness to his country. Afro
American Presbyterian.
DANIEL L. RUSSELL GOVERNOR.
Daniel L. Russell has been duly elect
ed Governor of North Carolina, and if
the Democratic leaders, together with
the Democratic newspapers were to be
believed, the State might well be in
mourning; but, like their false promises,
toe people do not believe a word they
say, as is seen by the handsome vote
that Russell received. And Russell is
going to make us one of the best Gov
ernors we have had since the war. He
has the ability, is progressive, and has
the best interests of the State at heart.
And having the courage of his convic
tions, he will not hesitate to carry them
out. The Populist.
Sound Doctrine.
The immortal Vance never uttered a
ttuer saying than when he said, "The
horse that pulls the plow should have
the fodder." Principle in a party, of
course, is one of the essentials to its per
petuity, but it is nonsense to talk about
Holding a party together while allowing
its enemies to reap the benefits of all the
emoluments. The Populists and Re
publicans of this State, through hard
work and much sacrifice, have won a
great victory in the State, and are josb
ly and rightfully entitled to the offices,
and should have them; and any Populist
ot Republican leader who fails to do his
duty in demanding and working for a
change from Democratic to Populist
and Republican is going to be branded
as a traitor to his party. To say that the
Populist or Republican parties have not
got men of sufficient qualifications to fill
any of the offices is all popycock, and
will not be believed by any sane man.
Therefore a change is demanded. "The
Populist."
Who Did It I
In Mecklenburg county the credit of
our victory is all due to the fidelity and
work of the colored voters. There is
no need of mincing words ; if the white
Republicans had done their duty there
would now be no question as to who is
elected here. If the State committee
sent any money to the county it failed
to reach the poor colored man, who did
work worth mention. The fight has
been one great sacrifice to many colored
men in the county. The State commit
tee, in abandoning . this county, threw
great responsibility on the poor colored
men here, who had nothing to work for
but patriotism. Not a single colored
man was run for office, and next spring
we expect to see every white Republi
can looking for office, saying it is too
soon yet for the colored man.
Tie candidates in this county refuse
to support our Republican papers, even
to the amount of 25 cents. Judging from
the thousands of extra copies of the
"Hayseeder," and other white men's
papers sent broadcast in the State, one
is led to believe some money was spent
in that direction.
The negro has not had justice in this
deal at the hands of the Republican
party. The nrgro has done his full duty
in this fight. Now, gentlemen, we have
sacrificed manhood and given you vic
tory, with the situation clearly under
stood all the time ; we ask you to do
your duty in the future. There will be
another time and these things will not
be forgotten. We wanted McKinley,
Russell and fusion, and for that, we
sacrificed all. Now let us reason. Had
the colored people of this county been
dealt fairly with by the State committee
and the white Republicans here, the
entire fusion ticket would have been
elected by such a majority the Demo
crats would have been no dumbfounded
they would have forgotten Pineville.
Whatever we lose here it will be by the
treachery and stupidity of white men.

WHY NOT REJOICE?
The colored people throughout the
country are rtjjicing over the great
Republican victory, and truly they have
cause to rejoice. A Republican vic
tory means more to them than to any
other class of American citizens. To
every class it means a just and eco
nomical administration of the govern
ernment, a revival of business, and a
return of prosperity. To the colored
man it means this, and more. It means
an opportunity .to show to the world
that he bas as much ability as any other
man. Under the Republican adminis
tration the colored man receives some
recognition in the distribution of offices
and always fills these offices with honor.
Then, too, there are generally some col
ored candidates on the Republican State
or county tickets, and when we refoice
in the triumph of a Republican victory
we generally rejoice in the election of
colored men to office. In the recent
election colored men were elected to
offices throughout the country. In this
State we elected Hon. G. H. White to
Congress, Hon. J. H. Young to the
Legislature, every magistrate in Edge
combe County, and two magistrates and
a constable in Union County. From
Indianapolis, Indiana, Hon. G L. Jones
was elected to the Legislature. Cook
County, Illinois, elected a colored man,
E. H. Wright, county commissioner,
and Hon. R. E. Stewart was elected
county clerk in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
This is a good showing, and we feel
that these men will fill their offices cred
itably. With the number of appoint
ments to colored men when McKinley
is inaugurated and the new Republican
governors take control, we will have
quite a race representation in the affairs
of state. Wilmington Sentinel.
Judge D. L. Russell will be our Gov
ernor for the next four years, and he is
going to take a " peep at the book." Do
you hear?
1
TARIFF PROSPECTS.
Until some of the Sound money Dam-,
ocrats in the Senate, or some of the sil
ver Senators who helped the Democrats
to defeat the Dingley bill and declared
that they would prevent any tariff leg
islation unless free coinage was granted,
definitely announce their willingness to
bow to the will of the people and vote
for such a revenue measure as the pop
ular majority desire, it is hardly worth
while to discuss the chance of any ac
tion on the tariff this winter. There is
no longer room for question what the
people want. The enormous popular
majorities given in the election of Re
publican Congressmen in 1894 have been
greatly surpassed, in some States in
1895 and in almost all States this year;
and while the Republican vote for Presi
dent has been swelled by several hun
dred thousand Democrats, it is not be
coming any honest statesman or j jur
nal to affect to misunderstand the con
tinued and very heavy majoiity for Re
publican Congressmen. The Senators
who prevented tariff legislation last Feb
ruary, if honest with themselves and
the country, must confess that the peo
pie desire, and have in legal form da
clared, that they desire, a return to the
principles of Republican tariffs.
It would be a manly and patriotic act
for any of those Senators to set aside
personal judgment or preference for the
sake of the national welfare. In a free
Government it is never a decent thing
for a minority to insist that the public
prosperity shall not be permitted unless
the will of the majority is disregarded.
Such conduct invariably reacts with de
structive foice against the men or the
party thus defying the people's desire.
When The Tribune warned certain Re
publican Senators last winter that they
would bring upon the free-silver cause
a crushing defeat if they resisted the de
maud of the people for a better tariff,
there were some who made light of the
warning. They have appealed to the
people and know the result. Loyal sub
mission to the declared will of the peo
ple is the first step toward recovering
public confidence.
Toe Sound Money Democrats are per
fectly aware that the revenue is not
sufficient to meet the expenditures of
the Government and provide a safe mar
gin for the protection of the outstand
ing paper currency. They can with
propriety, therefore, declare that the
need of revenue makes it their duty to
vote for such a measure as can be passed,
and such as the people demand, with
out further insisting upon their choice
of methods. So the silver Senators, hav
ng met with overwhelming defeat, can
properly bow to the decision of the peo
pie. Except in Kansas and Washing
ton, two Populist States, and in five
small silver States, the Republican party
in every State in the Union has cast
against free silver a larger share of the
popular vote than it had previously been
able to command. The silver Senator
who respects and bows to the will of
the people, and consents that the tariff
question shall be settled without longer
delay in accordance with the will of the
majority, takes the only course now
open to him which will tend toward re
covery of public respect.
These considerations may lead one or
more of the Senators who defeated leg
islation last wihter to change their atti
tude. If so, the fact will be me da known
and the passage of some measure may
be possible. It ought to be assumed
that President Cleveland was honest in
publicly telling Congress that he would
join in snch measures of relief as Con
gress might prefer, even though not
such as he would choose. Tne Dingley
bill was by no means an ideal measure.
and probably would not have been fa
vored by any of the Republicans except
as an effort to find some compromise
which might be accepted in cirenmstan
cesof peculinr National emergency. The
conditions have now greatly changed.
The certainty that a Republican Con
gress and President will soon have power
to act makes resistance merely for the
sake of delay inexcusable. It ought to
be possible to enact at once a very brief
measure, more satisfactory than the one
offered by the Honse last winter, and in
the line of the policy which the new
Congress will adopt. But it is evident
that neither this nor anything else can
be done nnles3 some of the Democratic
or silver Senators staid ready to bow to
the decision of the people.
THE CABINET DISCUSSION.
It gives us great pleasure to say that
the Democrats who rallied with admir
able courage and loyalty to the defence
of their country, and fought a good fight
throughout the campaign and at the
polls, have ia general further honored
themselves by the spirit which they have
manifested since the victory was won.
Occasionally a discordant note mars the
harmoniohs chorus of gratitude and con
gratulatijn, but thus far sach relapses
from a high plane of sentiment have
merely served to make a few individuals
unpleasantly conspicuous, without dis
turbing the relations of amity and mu
tual esteem which have prevailed for
several months.
It is especially gratifying to note the
comments which prominent Democrats
and influential Democratic newspapers
are making en the suggestion that Mr.
McKinley should invite some eminent
Democratic dissenter from the doctrines
promulgated in the Chicago platform to
enter his Cabinet. The President elect
does not stand in need of immediate
advice npon that question. He will
settle it at the proper time, and we
have no doubt that he will settle it
wisely. We allude to the matter now
only because Democrats are themselves
are discussing it in a highly . honorable
and patriotic manner. They say that
one of their number who should accept
such an appointment would thereby in
cur certain obligations of loyalty to his
chief, which would be, or at least might
be, inconsistent with the maintenance
of his own sincere political convictions;
while, on the other hand, the coming
Administration could not bs successful
from the public any more than from the
party point of view, if the President
were embarrassed in the performance
of what he conceived to be his duty by
his desire to preserve harmonions rela
tions with an adviser whose political
creed differed widely from his own. It
may be added, as a fact bearing not
remotely upon tha question, that the
late General Gresbam's acceptance of a
portfolio from President Cleveland is
not commonly considered either to have
enhanced his fame or proven advanta
geous to the country.
It should be understood that the 4,Tri-
Jbune" does not advance these opinions
with reference to an important and in
teresting suggestion, but reproduces
them from Democratic souices, solely
for the purpose of illustrating the fine
sense of honor and ; public care which
still animates many men who have been
faithfully co operating with former an
tagoniststosave thair country from dis
aster.
TnE LEGISLATURE.
DENOUNCING THEIR ALLIES.
While the known results of the elec
tion are not yet offi jial, they are suffi
ciently clear for ns to know that Bryan
is defeated. With this defeat there
come regrets and disappointments of an
almost bitter character. Dreams of a
pure American government and hopes
of better times and conditions are nul
lified and crushed, temporarily at least.
But the cause of the people is not dead.
It is a cause that cannot die.
It is probably idle to go back now and
review the causes which led to defeat,
but the chiefest among them all was
the brutal stupidity of the goldbug
nominee for Vice President in declining
to retire from the national ticket sup
ported by those forces declaring for re
form. It may not be altogether correct
to assert that this stupidity is the sole
cause of defeat, but it is certain that
many people who favor reform could
not be persuaded to believe in the sin
cerity of snch a man as Arthur Si wall,
and we have no hesitation in saying they
were right. We have asserted before
that he was put on the ticket by the
schemers, tc defeat it, and we say so
now. The ob?ect for which he was put
up has been accomplished.
Another cause of the defeat was the
failure of the party represented by tbe
Chicago convention to support the Bryan
ticket. If that party had given two
thirds as many votes to Bryan as it gave
to Cleveland four years ago. Bryan
would have been elected. While large
numbers of the rank and file of the
Democratic partv may have favored
what Bryant stood for, the 4 'bossing"
and suDSidtzad element of the party
proved to be strong enough to divide its
strength and thus let the party stand for
trusts, monopolies, etc., get at other
four years lease o j this country.
The announcement now comes that
Mr. Bryan declares he will continue to
fight the battle of reform. It is-well
perhaps that he will do so. He is an
able leader, and it may ba that none can
no be found to equal him But graat
events can be evolved within the next
four years; and speaking now for the
People's Party of N r;h Carolina, and,
we believe, for the nation, we take the
liberty of serving notice 01 Mr. Bryan
that if he desires to head tbe reform
forces of the People's prty in the next
figbt, he must do so nndar some other
name than thit of Dmocrat. Tnat
name has become a reproach and a
stench among the people, nd it will not
be supported any more, now or here
aftr.
Democrats had charge of the govern
ment for nearly four years, and they
played the people false grossly and
brutally false. In tbe campaign jast
closed, the People's party j ined tneir
forces w.th the Democrats, and the
Democrats again playtd the people false
grossly and brutally false. There is
no virtue in them. We are done with
them now and forever, and also with
any man who seeks to lead the people
hereafter under anything that may bear
the name or have the pmirch of the
word Democrat on it. Rileigh Cau

The forthcoming Auditor's report will
show the value of property in the State
of North Carolina for 1895 to be $230,
861,131 as against $234,479,901 the ypar
previous a decrease of $3,618,770. Tbe
real estate this year is valued at $153,835,
584 aa compared with $158,088,064 the
year before, or a decease of $4,252,480.
But the personal property shows an in
crease in value of $633,710, the valuation
th is year being $77,025,547 as against
$76,391,837 in 1894.
There are 28,019,748 acres of land in
the State valued at $110,668,453, a de
crease of $4,412,880 since 1894. when the
land valuation was $115,081,323. Town
lots show little change in value, being
worth $43,167,131 in 1895 as against $43,
006.741 in 1894.
The ' items of personal property and
their value are aa follows: 162,010 horues
valued at $6,314,923; 116,770 mules at
$5,062,064; 860 jacks and jennies at $42,
231; 42.510 goats at $31,593; 527,131 cat

its, $18,979,564: stock in incorporated
companies, $3,771,730; all other personal
property, $19 582,763.
The unlisted taxables this year are
$89,186.21. List?vear they were only
$55,454.27. This increase of $33,731.94
is due to the tax of $10 on lawyers, doc
tors aud dentists imposed by the last leg
islature, from which $18,790 was realized;
the tax of 50 cents on each bed in every
hotel and boarding-house, which paid into
tbe treasvry $2,568, and the corporation
tax which paid $5,910.
The rate rate of taxation fixed by the
last legislature was 2 If cents for the State,
instead Of 22 cents as heretofere. and 18
cents for schools as against 16 cents be
fore. This caused an increase of $82,
068.30 in the school tax, and an increase
in county taxes of $873,137.80.
School taxes ths year amounted to
$847,578.57 as against $765,510.27 in 1894,
and ere divided as follows: White polls,
$265,966.20; colored polls, $112,019.61;

799.86; railroad property, $45,184.37;
general property (white), $402 829.65;
general property (colored), $14,748.83.
County taxes in 1895 aggregated $1,
914,505.56 as compared with $1 039,367.76
in 1894. , Tbe general taxes from coun

SnoTWELL, N. C, Nov. 10.
Mr. Editor: Please allow me some
space in your valuable paper.' I read it
closely, and consider it one of the most
instructive papers ever published for the
race. It is devoted to the welfare of the
race. I will further Bay that the intel
ligence and sincerity of its great and
noble editor has led the Republican party
to victory. Thanks to God for the glori
ous privilege that we Afro-Americans
have of casting a free ballot. Our rights
will be retained as long aa Republicans
and Populists rule our country. Thanks
to the editor of The Gazette for the ex
tra work done last week for the benefit
of its readers.
I can but congratulate you for your
untiring efforts in trying to give to your
subscribers a valuable and interesting
paper. So I wish you success, and will
do all in my power to get our people to
read The Gazette. I want to see tbe
day come when the demand for The Ga
8ETTE will be so great that it will sooa
double its number of employes. 80 let
The Gazette come.
Yours, for success.
S. M. R. Blade.
The Grand Lodge of Masons will meet
at Edenton on December 8th.
