OVERWHELMING VICTORY.

Goes Democratic By an Immense
-
Majority.
We have met the enemy and
thev are ours!
Cabarrus county on Tuesday,
Nov. 8th, threw off her fusion
1 - ? ! 1 T"V
rooe ana win now aon demo
cracy's attire, which attire has for
four years past been lying away
to asain be brought out and worn
probably lor quite a Jong duration
of time. 1
In the coming December, the
county officers now in charge of
our aliairs will bid farewell to the
walls nf tViA nlrl nnnrt Vimisft. with
their remembrance of past days.
This was an exceptionally quiet
election and all went lovely there
being but very little rowdyism
and no difficulties were reported.
Quite a large crowd hovered
around the headquarters
in ihe court house to
avail themselves of the news.
After finding what the result
would be the most of them return ¬
ed to their homes to either have a
sweet rest or else ponder over the
result.
As the vote of the coroner, sur
veyor, magistrates ana commis
sioners would coincide with the
vote of the more prominent offices,
we did not deem it necessary to
take down their vote, but suffice it
to say that they go in by a large
majority.
As near as we can reckon it at this
time, 3 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, the majority of our county offi
cers will be nearly 600 and one will
make at least- 625 majority. This
shows our election to be an over
whelming victory, and one for
which the citizens of Cabarrus
oounty should indeed be proud.
