Notwithstanding Absence Many Republicans, Of The Vote That Decided the Contest Gave H m Two Majority. Large Crowd Listened to Closing Ar guments Verdict Applauded- GOVERNOR RUSSELL'S ATTACK ON MR. PEARSON PROVED A BOOMERANG '"AND BROUGHT SOME SHARP WORDS DOWN ON THE GOVERNOR. Special to the Gazette. Washington, May 10. Southern re publicanism was handsomely vindicat ed today -when the house "of representa tives declared Richmond Pearson en titled to the seat from the Ninth North Carolina district, although it "was an instance of the righteous being barely saved. Pearson's majority was but two, owing to the fact that many re publicans were out of the city attend ing the Iowa and Illinois conventions. The first vote on the substitute res olution resulted in a tie, owing to a clerical error in the count, which was not discovered for several minutes by official stenographers, and the excite ment was intense. Many members rose from their seats and others went forward near' the speaker's idesk. The J galleries were crowed. The result was Warmly applauded when the final vote was announced. Mr.. Pearson made a convincing and eloquent speech, which doubtless had much effect on wavering members, if there were such. The eleventh hour contest proclamation of Governor Rus sell proved a boomerang under , the treatment of Linney and Grosvenor. The former said, among other things, that Russell was sore because the state invention did not, In indorsing tne state administration, use Russell's name, wmie it aia inuvior v1"!. Grosvenor said, in effect, that Rus sell wasjtrying to curry favor with the democrats who threatened to impeach him. - It was a splendid victory for Mr. Pearson, and relieved an awkward and adverse situation. A number of Mr. Pearson"s warmest supporters were unavoidably out of the city while the democratic attendance was large. '- x W. A. H. Washington, May 10.

CO rTOII SPINNERS ASSOCIATION MEETS President Says Should Favor Open Door Policy and Expansion. Special to the Gazette. .Charlotte, May 10. The cotton spin ners' convention was . called to order by President J H. McAdam at- 10 o'clock this morning. Fully 500 men are in attendance. In his annual ad dress the president said: ''More than two and a half million spindles have been placed in the mills last yeaj and the export trade with China will exceed $25,000,000. We should favor a vigorous policy on the part of the government in favor of an open door policy. We should hold the Philippines. We must exert ourselves to extend our trade with other countries," Theodore C. Search, president of the National Manufacturing association of Philadelphia, then made an address on foreign markets for American cotton goods and how to develop them. He said this was an era of expansion and no progressive manufacturer would argue that no more mills should be built, but rather they should tear lest the market be too small to receive the output. Arthur H. Iiowejformer president or the -New England Manufacturers as sociation, spoke oh the production f finer cotton goods -by "Amertoan -man uf actvrjfcrt He said American design ers are making as fine patterns as are fmiTifl anvwhere. tout the cheap labor in foreign countries has made compe tit. on almost useless unless the man ufacturer has a tariff to protect 'him.

The middle-of-the-road populists' national convention today nominated Wharton Barker of Philadelphia for president and Igna tius Donnelly of Minnesota for vice president. There was a lively fight over the ticket, due to the efforts of some delegates to nominate' ex-Congressman Howard of Alabama.
