Kentucky it to be congratulated upon the rebuke she ha given to Go blirn. There eem to he no o,ae tion that the people defeated fiDehel at the poll by over thirty thousand msprity, but the Ooebel taction law which wan especially prepared to leal toe mate was worked no suc cessfully that it cat thin majority down to about three thousand. How ever, Ooebel aud bin organized band f ballot box staffers did not give up, proceeded to bring pressure to bear upon the members of the State Elec tion Bard to break their oaths, ig nore the returns, and irive the certi ficate of election to the man who had a. it . i w i wen repoaiaiea ny me pnot.ie. laia a ma j rity of the election board re fared to do. Mr. Kilts, one of the Democratic members of the State mention it.jari, wuo voted To give the certificate of eltction to Taylor, in an interview juet aftr the decis ion of the board was announced satd: 'Sneaking for roys If, I say frank ly I did not like to do this thing, but under the law and toe evidence there is nothing i le I ran do and be an horn st man." "The proceedings before the board were so overwhelmingly in favor of the Republican, and they bad so much the teiter of the arguments, that it is almost idle to diecotfs the affair. There was, to th minds of Judge Pryor and myself only one thing to do, and that we have done. 1 know there are nlt-nty of men who think that strong Democratic parti san as I have always been, I should have remained a Democrat partisan and voted otherwise, But I have done what my conscience aud my long career as a lawyer tell me is right, and I will no otherwise for nc man, or noun no consideration." Mr. Simmons baa prepared just rurh an election law as the Ooebel law to steal North Carolina next year, lie is no doubt disgusted with Mr. Elli and the other members of the Democratic E'ectiou Botrd in Ken tucky for respecting their oaths and showing that they have a conscience. It is safe to ray that Mr. Simmons will try to flod men iu North Caroli na to put upon his returning boards who have lees honesty and less con science than Mr. Kllis. But let the arood people of North Carolina pile up such amajmty aeatnst Oooelism and Simraonsiem in North Carolina that the ballot box staffers will not be able to steal the State, It can be don ; it will be done. The good peo ple of North Carolina will never tol erate such men and such methods. THE t'Ot'KT IS (IINHIxTEST AND iBOVE KEFKOACH. The News and Observer continues to criticise the State Supreme Court because it is consistent in upholding the doctrine laid down iu Hoke vs. Henderson. Oae of its many edito rials along this line appeared in a re cent issue, and is as follows: "If Hoke vs Henderson is good law then the decision of every other State iu the Union, the Supreme Court of the United States and of ev ery civilized country on the globe is wrong. Kvery civil zed state or country under the sun except North Carolina regards an fflce as an agen cy for the public convenience. Here the Supreme Court says that a pub l'c efflea is a private snap." When this present Court first re affirmed tbe doctrine in Hoke vs Hesdersoo, the News and Observer also end orsed the doctrine laid down in that decision, and thought the de cision of tbe Court was wise, patri otie and just. That was the decision of the Court in the case of Wood vs Bellamy. In that case the decis ion of the Court resulted in putting a Democrat in effice aid keeping a Populist out of tffice. Io the recent case of Abbott vs. Btddirgfield the application of the same doctrine by tbe same court to the same state of acts resulted in putting a Democrat out of effice. At once the News and Observer discovered tbattbedoctrine laid down in Hokevs Henderson was bad law and at once proceeded to at tack the Court for ret de ring a parti tan decision. It seems that the only way that the Court could please the News and Observer would be for the Court to reverse the law in every ease and shape its, decisions in every case ao as to put a Democrat in effice. Surely the people of the Slate would not want to see this old Common wealth d if graced by having a Su preme'Conrt of the kind that the News and Observer favors. Tbe peo ple of the State will stand by the Su preme Court and uphold it in its con sistency and integrity whether they endorse the doctrine of Hoke vs Hen derson or not; and the News and Ob server, when it now attacks tbe in tegrity of the Court is simply convin cing the people of the State that that paper i. not worthy of their confi dence. WA1 THE SIMMONS) LAW PASSES FOR THL SAMK CKPOSK? "The verdict of the Kentnckv elec tion, held last Tuesday, is still claim ed by both parties.

THE rOftCB BILL LECTIO 1.4 W. The Rutherford ton Prei com menting on tbe Simmons-Goebel election law, ay: "About tbe meanest piece of leg islation ever enacted In North Car olina I the new election law.

We believe not, and believe that there are hundreds of good Democrats that will help throw this Simmons machine poll tics from the State." The PreKS Is right about the In famous meanness of the present election law. It Is worse than the Himmons bull pen election law of 1801. Every page of it Is not only lilted with devices and loop-holes for stealing and cheating, but there Is also a provision for tho Demo cratic machine to appoint for elec tion day an army of election con Ktables or police thug to Intimi date voter. It Is indeed a "force bill" of the most infamous kind. MK. DAMKI.4 FOKfiKTM. vLZZ , w T- V ? a ance going from Washington tode- reai a nui xo disfranchise voters in thh State.

In the Senate, Senator Frye, who has been elected President pro tern, rresides In th place of thu lato v ice-i're-si- dent Uobart. Congressman Hend erson, of Jowa, was elected Speaker or tne House as was expected. He haa not announced his committees yet. There were threeother candidates for the Kjeakership in addition to General Henderson, the Kepubli can candidate. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, was the Democratic candidate; Mr. Hell, of Colorado, the Populist candidate; and Mr Newlands, of Nevada, the Silver Republican cacdidate. Mr. Atwater, the independent member from North Carolina went into the Democratic caucus and vo tea tor it cnarason. it will be re membered that Mr. Atwater can vassed his district proclaiming on every stump that he was a etraight Populist, standing by all the prin- ' cl?IfiS of th Part'. and appealing Z. ' AttJ L to ropulists of the district to vote for him on the ground that he was a better Populist than Mr Jenkins. On this plea, Mr. Atwater jjot thou sands of Populist votes. These vot er will be surprised and dlsappoit ed to And Mr. Atwater so soon for getting the pledges r,n which he got their votes. A perfect avalanche of bills have been introduced in both houses The outlook is for a long and busy sesslon with many new and inter estlng questions to arise. The question of chief interest in the House was the case of Roberts, tho Poly gam ist Congressman-elect from Utah. When he presented himself at the bar of the House to be sworn in with the other ft&w members, objection was raised, and by a voto the House by a ery large majority denied him the right to be sworn in, though ho held a cer tificate of election, until his eligi bility was inquired into. A special committee to investigate his case was appointed and is now at work on the matter. Mr. Roberts is not tho first member of the Mormon church who has been elected to Con gress from Utah. Indned represen tative King, who was in the House from Utah last year, and Senator Cannon of Utah, were both Mor mons, but neither one of them were polygamists. The case of Roberts is naturally attracting much atten tion. In the House the members draw for seats. All of the North Caroli na members except Mr. Crawford secured pood seats. Mr. Klrtt.z from the 7ih district drew tbe very seat that Congressman Shu ford-', his predecessor, occupied, which by the way, is one of the best seats in the Bouse. Tho Senate adjourned Monday, soon after assembling, out of re spoct to the late Vice President Robart. oon after the Senate met on Tuesday, the death of Senator Haywood, of Nebraska, was an nounced, who died that morning. The Senate at once adjourned for that day out of respect to the dead Senator. With these two days lost the Senate accomplished but little last week, save to nil the Congres sional hopper full of bills ior future consideration The case of Senator Quay is at tracting much interest over the country and in the Senate. Many times the Senate has refused to seat a Senator appointed by a gov ernor to fill a vacancy when the legislature had an opportunity to elect and refused to do so. This is Quay's case, but it is being claimed by his friends that the Senate will seat him in spite of the many pre cedents to the contrary. However, this is not certain. The Senate will be reorganized at an early date. This is of interest to North Carolinians because it will result in Gen. ( ox who has long been tbe efficient Secretary of the Senate, losing his place, to be suc ceeded by a Republican Secretary. Judge kwart is hf re importuning the President to send his name to the Senate again He has had Sen ator Prltchard to go with him to the White House several times al ready. It is not certain, however, that the President will again send in his name. It would break all precedents for tbe President to send the name of a man to the Senate for the third time when he had failed of confirmation twice: and surely it would seem that the Pres ident would not break all of these precedents for a man who b.as been reported unfavorably by the Judi ciary Committee of the Senate and who upon the investigation of the Committee was shown to have such a record that he never should have bt en sent in the first time. The Financial bill offered bv the majority of the House is one of the most revolutionary and dangerous measures ever yet presented to Co gress. It not only makes the gold dollar the unit, but it provides for retiring the greenbacks and al so the silver certificates, and the issuing oi goia interest bearing bonds to take them up, which will result in more debt and less money. Wide advertisemens has been given in the press to the' recent de cision of the Supreme Court in the Addison Pipe Company case. This decision has been hearalded from one end of the country to the other as an antitrust decision, lhe fact is that the Addison Pipe Company is about the only trust in Ameri ca.that the decision will effect. It does not disturb such trusts as the sugar tiust, the S andard Oil Trust, and other great trusts of the coun try. The Preeident of.the Addison Pipe Trust remarked immeditelv after the decision of the court that the decision would not annoy their tympany in tne least: that thev would simply change the form of tnetr trust to correspond with that of the Standard Oil. Trust, the Su gar iruss ana other such trusts, which they had intended to do anyway, and then the decision pf the court would not apply to them. It is noticeable, that Representa tive Grosvenor of Ohio has offered a resolution in the House to have Ave thousand copies of this resolu tion printed.

He publicly agreed to do so, we are informed. The "result Is tho affidavit below. made at Raleigh, dated Oct. 14th, 18y. It will be not!cd that Mr Pou, shrewd, slick and cunnings he is, attempted to word h s affida vit so as not to say explicitly what he had 6aid publicly on tho stump, and yet at the same time, to say enough to make it appear that bis affidavit had made good his cam paign d. claratlon, and fool the vo ters into accepting his statement and voting for the machine. The following h a true copy of the affidavit: i St ate c f North Carolina, i Countv of Wake. i James H.

I believe that a majority of the uneducated white voters of North Carolina are Democrats. The Democratic party is appealing to them for aid in preserving white supremacy in the center w6t and in restoring it in the Eastern part of this State. They are responding to our appearand to repay them for their aid with a disfranchisement of their votes would be folly and ingrattlude indeed.
