Vol. X1--H0. 2709 CONCORD, N; C. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9 1898 Whole No 1179D MAJORITY GABARRUS PUTS ON HER NEW POLITICAL DRESS. " OVERWHELMING VICTORY. Dcntber Will Bring About an Up heaval From Constables to Con pressmen A Quiet Election State 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. Ward 1.
