JOB BLACKBURN DEFEATED. Louisville, Ky. Returns sufficient have been received to indicate that Joe Blackburn has been defeated, while the core(?)

A telegram received th a morning at 3:3a o'clock says that the New York Herald estimates that McKinley is cer tainly elected and that he will probably receive 277 electoral votes and that Bryan will get 137 vote. The Chicago Tribune tay that the next congress will itand about as follows: Republicau 233; Democrats in and 13 independent "Mr. Bryan In Certainly Elected." James K. Jones, the chairman of the democratic national committee, gave iut the following statement this morning which was received here at 3:40 o'clock, win minutes after the above statement of the New York Herald, wa received. Mr. Jones' statement is ss follows: "There is no foundation, whatever, for the claims of the republicans. There is at this time no reason to think that any one of the state claimed by me for Mr. Bryan ha failed to vote for bim. While misleading reports are beingsent out in all directions, private advices as sure us that each one of the states have ifcoe for Mr. Cryan. Ft two hours the most extravagant claims as to Kentuck) snd Indiana have been telegraphed al ovor the country while within the last few minutes our committees assure uf that both are safe for us, Mr. Bryan u certainly elected." We can but hope that Chairman Jones is correct, and our people will wait with much anxiety for more news along thir line today. Finally. The Hi.Rald wishes to say that it ha not a Simula of confidence in a single telegram it ha received about the elec tion. It know that it is a moral impossibil ity for many of th- .1 to have beeu based upon the count, and only publishes them to gratify the urgent demand that mor bid curio iity which cannot contain itself till verified facts are attainable, and then, too, we like to accommodate our patron vith an excuse for having the headache tomorrow, as they will be sure to do, if they attempt to figure out any result from the election news we have given. If any credence at all is to be given the telegrams, however, we are free to admit our fondest hope are blighted. and the future looks dark and sulphur ous. We hope to give you better and more explicit news tomorrow. At 2 o'clock this morning the Thila ilclphia Record announced by flash-light that McKinley was undoubtedly elected, AIout the same time Mark llaiina sent out statement which said that not only was McKinley elected, but that he would receive more votes in the electoral col lege than he claimed a few days ago, which wa 311. While we do fot put very much confidence in the telegrams yet, in all protmbilitj , McKinley in elect edand the will of nearly three-fourth of the people of this nation have been thwarted by Mark Manna's money and fraud. THK COfSTY TICKET. Itigsbee Probably Elect Hherin by a Hmall Majority. Durham county and town ha cause to be proud of the good order and quiet of yesterday election. While most Intense interest wa felt, and wa plain ly visible, by the opposing factions, pr ticulsrly sta the connty officer, and whi e both parlies worked like beavei. it wa all done in a good humored gen tlemanly manner devoid ot bsrh word or feeling. It ws evident by noon that Kitchin wa polling more vote here than had been calculated on and it wa conceded that Durham county would give bim a majority. All day long tht tug of close conflict raged between the candidate for sheriff; Markban, fusion, and Rig bee, republican, present Incumbent, and no out could tell at whose feet the laurel would Jail. At J a. .( this morning tbert art atill outlying precinct in Dnrham county to bear front. They will materially altet the ratio of tht vote given below, which wasss follow: Bryan l.tit, McKinley Til. On atate ticket, Watson 1,165, Russet! 89. Outhrit 4 (Tbi vote of Cathrit'a was In accord with hi request tbat hit vote bt madt a light aa poasi be) for connty officer tht fusion ticket it elected with tht exception of heriff, that flkt Mill being In doubt. At far at heard from Bigibeo lead Msrkbsm, fulnit, by 18 totet, and It will bt im- possib'e to forecast with any accuracy before the other precinct are heard from. I At North Durham. Out at this precinct, Mr. R. B. Boone took exception to the manner of a cer tain party who he thought was illegally forcing votes, and gave notice that he would take action in the matter. All torts of conflicting telegrams- enough to fill a half dozen papers of the Herald's size, were received before 11 o'clock which we discard. We only profess to give the county results accur ately. The responsibility of the tele grams must rest up the shoulders of tbs telegraph company, and be taken for the uncertain value they are worth. It will be seen thtt in several instanc es the first big majorities were lessened by each succeeding telegram: KITCHIX ON TOP. Settle will be Defeated by Seven or Eight Hundred. While it was simply impossible to get returns from the entire district last night, the Hekald feels safe in predict ing the election of W. W. Kitchin to congies from this district by at least 500 majority. This county gives him at least 400 majority, while there will be 300 or more to add from Person. Meagre reports also go to show that Orange will leave him a good margin, while Rock ingham will give him 500 or 600 more than be does Settle. So that, out of tht wreck, if wreck it shouid prove, we will have this much at least to be proud off. Up to 2 o'clock this morning all the precincts in this connty bad been beard from, except eleven, and the total Kitchin-Settle vote stood as follows: Kitchin 1337; Settle 866 Kitchiu' ma jority 481. God Pily This People. The litile news that was received from Kalcigh last night and thi morning was very encouraging, but tne HERALD nas very little hope for the 6tate. Indica tions point to the fact that even Chair man Manlcy believes the state has fallen into the hands of Russell, the traitor Aver and such cattle that are too mean and contemptible to have charge of a decent bog pen. If this nation has elected Gold Bug McKinley president and the state has turned and given Rus sell, Aycr & Co., charge, we say, "God pity this people." It is a serious thing, especially for all the laboring classes, many of whom are today -rendering the streets hungry and cannot get work on account of this nefarious money system. THE FAKKINGVOX Ml'KDEIl. Superintendent toiichGetaan Anony. The Herald does not believe in open ing up old anc buried sensations, but in view of recent developments it appears the mystery of Doc Partington' death, for which his supposed murderers were acquittsd, may yet be unraveled. It will be remembered by readers of this paper, that some ten days ago, sev eral workhouse prisoners were turned out of the guard tent by outside parties. In connection with this fact, Superinten dent Leigh has handed the Herald re porter the following anonymons letter, which we give verbatim, spclliiigand all. "Durham, N. C, Oct. 28, iSy6. "A word of cassion to Joe. S. Durham the Durham guard. We Here By Notify you to Bee on your guard fur you Have trcetcd tome of the Prisncr wrong for the last month and we are going to See you aBout it and we let them Boy out and we are coming again and we want Mr lockett But He wont come out So you Bcucr look out for yourself and if you Dont mind you will Bee tike Dock farington, you will Bee found Dcd Some where; we Have a club and some white men Belong to our club. We are com ing one more time after Mr. lockett, if He will go we got the Key. "So you Better look out "Your and Co'." The nltovc wa mailed, a shown by the postofliee stamp at 9:30 A. M. on Oc tober 30th, and wa taken out of the of fice a few minute after this. Itappcars the writer of this scroti could be located, and thnt he should be. If he can be got ten hol.l of, the mystery of Partington' murder may come to light. PKHMOXAI MENTION. E. C. Mathews, now of Sumpter, 8 C , arrived yesterday for a abort visit to relatives. Mr. R. T. Pincette left yesterday to loin her husband at Lumberton. Mis Mattie Psucette accompanied her. W. T. Meadows, onr Buck, now ol Rock Hill, fl. C, wa In Dnrham yccl-t day with hi plug tobacco mplc.

Car relumed im vMlrrilur fast bound lo: W a. train from a viait to their daughter in City The New York papers give an account of a "bursted air mo tor." One has bursted down here Hal. . Avers, but it didn't hurt anybody but the operator. There is nothing certain in politics until the vote is counted by the returning boarJ, but the Ierald thinks Kitchen's election by 500 to 700 maj'ority a safe con jecture. In the defeat of Major W. A. Guthrie by the treachery of some of his party the Major has achieved a grand and lasting victory, and North Carolina will yet acknowledge his sterling in tegrity and devotion to princi ple. The news from Goldsboro, published elsewhere, is greatly to bo deplored. It should also be evidence of the worth of state troops, which in this and and other instances have pre vented bloodshed and untold horrors. The New York papers of Mon day give accounts of a number of big bets on the election, some ol iein ranging as high as five to one on McKinley. We hope these fellows don't feel so good this morning, and also that if they have lost their money they have gotten value received in better sense. The New York Journal, it b said, has made terrible enroads upon the receipts of the World, le Tribune and Herald of that ity. Mr. Ilearat has proven to be not only a man of money, but progressive newspaper sense of no mean ability, and it is evi dent that some ot bis competitors ill soon have to stand from under. It is now, conceded tha Gen. Fitzliugh Lee, consul at Havana, is diakiug his trip home purely for personal matters, and that the visit has no political significance hatever. It will bo perfectly latural, however, that he should see and talk with the president and secretary of war while in '.'ashington in reference to the Cuban situation. That fraud by the wholesak was committee' in some iections in yesterday's electieu is evident, but the public may rest assured the perpetrators will be punished in each instance, and the law vin dicated. The masses arc at last worked up to that pitch they will no longer timely submit to a sub version of the popular will, and both bribers and bribed will rue the day they undertook to mon key with the votes of American freenwn. Whatever the returns may foot up. Hon. V, J. Bryan has made a new and important epoch in American history. Never before hr.s u presidential caud'dato traveled so much. made so many speeches, came face to face with such throngs f voters, or so endeared him ?!f to the great mass of wage earners from an over tne continent. He has been super bly grand in the campaign, and if by any untoward event, the crown of victory does not adorn his placid brow, it will be seen that he is grand also in defeat. Col, ttockcry said at Monroe on Monday that Chairman lloltott of the republican state committee wnt him a telegram asking him to withdraw in favor of C. A. Reynolds, so that Reynolds' name could bo placed on the populist ticket. "In answer to this,' said the goloncl, "I sent the following tele gram:" "Hon. A. E. Holton, Raleigh N.C. '00 10 11011.' "0. H. Dock t by." r. Highest of all in Leavening Power.- n Pimm oawnff ABSGIsUTEEK PURE Now that the election is ever, and as usual, one side has been defeated, it is time to philo sophise a little to let cool and calmn reason again assume sway. There is neither sense or good manners in kicking now. The The American puople, the high est tribunal on earth, have rendered their decision and and there is no appeal. W bat cannot be amended will have to be endured, and sour looks and sulphurous oaths will onlj intensify the agony of disap pointed hopes and aspirations. Though the die will be irrevo cably cast before this is in type it will be impossible to know who is elected before we t press. Indeed, it is doubtful ii we can give accurate returm before Thursday or Fif-Iaj morning. The very latest tht wires furnish can be i'ound on local page of today. Goldsboro, N. C, Nov. 2. An incidendiary speech mad here by Frank Baker, c f Dudley a colored republican; caused clash between white and colored citizeuo this evening. A mob of over I5O negrofs armed with knives, pistols and clubs, marched through the citj and defied the law. The sheriff and city author! ties finding themselves unable tty cope with the mob called upon the Goldsboro Rifles foi assistance, which was promptly rendered, and which had the effect of quelling the disturb ance, which for a time looked like a riot was eminent. The negroes repaired to a hall in their locality, and are t tw holding a meeting. The mili tary is at the armory ready foi any emergency. The fire department has also been ordered to be ready at tiie first alar-11. This is the first ouch we have had of Russell ism. More trouble is expected. $100 Reward. $100.
