GOOD NEWS! NEW YORK, INDIANA, CALI FORNIA, NEW JERSEY s AND CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATIC. cm nest pbeseSent and vice PRESIDENT: GROVER CLEVELAND, Of New York. ALLEN G. THURMAN, Of Ohio. The Latest News : A special telegram received at 7 o'clock last night (Nov. 7th) says: Conpecticut reported 6,000 Dem ocratic majority, New Jersey 8,000, and New York a handsome majori ty. Indiana and California Demo cratic, with good chances for De mocracy in Illinois and Wisconsin. Later telegrams confirmed the above reports, and the election of Cleveland and Thurman is assured. Hurrah for Democracy ! in DEMOCRATIC GAINS, BUT RESULT m DOUBT. THE ;It Will Require the Official Count to Determine. Last Tuesday witnessed ode of the .fiercest, and at the same time one of jthe quietest, political battles ever fought in Richmond county. All ,sorts of desperate methods had been .employed by the Kepublicans to ,hold control of the county offices and to roll up a big majority for their .chief, Oliver H. Dockery ; and it is well known that they were lavish in the expenditure of money. The Democrats were thoroughly aroused and did earnest and faithful work, and made gains in nearly every township over the vote of two years ago. The largest gain was in Wil liamson's township. As we go to press (Wednesday pigM) it is impossible to tell the re sult, as no definite figures have been received from some of the precincts. The Republicans claim all of the officers, but the Democrats are hope ful of th,e election of Wooten to the Legislature and possibly one or two .other officers. It will take the offi pial count to determine the result. A Correction. Editor 0 the Rockingham Rocket; Dea Sir : As citizens who de sire the promotion of truth between man and man, we respectfully ask you to correct a statement made by Jthe Spirit of the South in regard to fhe Whitaker and Brown shooting affray, which says that Messrs. D. B. Brown and Raiford Terry went Jo Mr. W.'s saw mill and chatted pleasantly with him and all on friendly terms. We, the undersign ed, being in the employ of Mr. W J. Whitaker, were at his saw mill all day' Wednesday, October 31st, and .Messrs. Brown and Terry were hot at the mill, as stated, and had they treated ;Mr. W. with this courtesy, he was in th upper part of the township on th'at'day. ' XSigned) '" Sidney D. Eeaksall.

The latest news from the States that it has gone Democratic by from 16,000 to 20, 000 majority for the State and National l!ticlt ets. Returns from one-fourth of tHe"Stab show Democratic gains of 938 votes over 84, and that we will have a safe majority in both houses of the General Assembly. f a Although the reports from the , North arfe conflicting and Harrison's election is claimed by the Republicans, we still have faith in Cleveland's election. New York is claimed by both parties, but it is more than probable that it will give its electoral Vote to Cleve land. . If Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut, Cali fornia, Michigan and Rhode Island have gone Democratic, as is now claimed, Cleveland will be elected without the vote of New York; but at this writing it is not possible to say what the official count will reveal. The Nation's Prosperity. Prom the Philadelphia Times. While the excitement and distrust usually created by a Presidential contest always more or less affect commerce and trade, this year has been a notable exception. If people study party organs they are regaled with tales of business de pression or business advancement, as the party interests of organs re quire; but when the business teview of R. G. Dun & Co., is given to the public, men of all parties accept it as true. The following is. the open ing paragraph of R. G. Dun & Co.'s review of last week's condition of trade : "Political excitement must have prevented a great many transactions during the past week, and yet the volume of business has been sur prisinglyjarge. Outside New York there is a general increase in bank clearings over last year of about 12 per cent, but substantially the entire increase of 20 per cent at Boston may be traced to unusual specula tion in stocks ; probably the gains of percent at Philadelphia and 41 per cent at San Francisco are mainly of the same nature, and speculation in wheatand other productsswells the exchanges at Chicago and St. Louis. Yet outside of these points there is considerable and general increase in the clearings, and, in view of large dealings earlier in the season, this increase, even in the heat of a Presi dential contest, indicates a remark able expansion of trade." The New York correspondent, of the Ledger is known to subordinate politics to business, and the follow ing is the first paragraph of a recent letter in that Journal : "Notwithstanding the excitement attending the approaching Presi dential election, business continues remarkably good in all parts of the country, and, at several important centres, a large increase in the vol ume of clearances is reported. This does not mean that the Dolitical campaign is not retarding trade ope rations at all ; on the contrary, it un doubtedly is, and speculation is for the moment much depressed by the excitement and uncertainties ot elec tion. The business of the country must be in uncommonly good shape to make so favorable a! showing at such a time as this." While reckless politicians and or gans are howling about business ruin, the business men'of the coun try are exceptionally prosperous and the public journals which distinctly reflect business interests as they are, with one accord testify to the gen eral and indeed amazing' prosperity of the whole country." It is simply a tribute to honest and conservative government; that's all. "W . . . Parties in the country wanting onclc should call on Baker Bros Rockingham, N. C. ELECTED; Forty Thousand Dollars Taken From an Express Messenger. New Orleans, November 3. The United States Express Messenger on the train of the New Orleans fe Northeastern Railway, which arriv ed here this morning at 7 o'clock, was robbed at 5 a. m., between Lacy and Derby stations, fifty miles from this city. Express officials . decline to state the amount of th robbery, but it is understood the loss is be tween $40,000 and $50,000. Between the stations above . nark ed the robber entered the express car, where Henry McElroy, baggage uia&ier, was suiing on a cnest near the middle of the car, and express messenger Uharles Louvey was at one end, checking off freight The robber came first t the baggage mas ter, presented a pistol and required McElroy to hold up his hands Quickly throwing a sack over Mc Elroy '8 head, the robber gave his at tention to the messenger, who was required at the poin of a pistol to open the safe. A sack was then placed by him over the head of the messenger, while the robber proceed ed with the work of securing the money, both McElroy and Louvey being required under threat to hold up their hands. After securing the contents of the safe the robber pull ed the bell rope, the train then being near Nicholson5 station, 45 miles irom thisr city. When' -the traitf stopped he left the train unobserved. The conductor did not know 'why t,he train stopped, and on starting forward to ascertain, found the rear end of the coach next to the baggage car locked, and the key left in the door on the outside. When the ex press car was finally reached," both McElroy and Louvty were- found standing with their hands up and sacks over their heads. They were under the impression that thefob ber was still present. Only one rob ber was seen by Louvey.' Seriously Burned.
