It Now Seems That Roosevelt Will Have 325 Votes in the Electoral College. New York, Nov.S, 2 a.m. If Mary land has gone Republican, as unof ficial returns at this hour Indicate, the Republican vote In the electoral college will be the unprecedented one of 325 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks to 151 for Parker and Davis. Not only Is this far In excess of Mr. Mc Klnley's vote, 292, In 1900, but Judge Parker's vote Is four less than that given Mr. Bryan four years ago. It Is practically certain that the Repub lican National ticket has carried every State in the Union outside of the solid South. It may take the of ficial count to decide Maryland. The Republican majority in the next House of Representatives will not be less than fifty. Official figures from the Northwest cities may slightly change the totals, but based on the returns available at a late hour tonight the electoral vote stands as follows: roii itoosrcvKi.T.

Ticket Elected by Majorities Ranging From 892 to 1.271. Despite our misfortunes iu the na tion yet we have something to rejoice over in old Granville and that is the splendid pluralities given our county candidates the figures of which ap pear elsewhere In this paper. We can comfort and congratulate ourselves that we are safe for two years more of good home government. As we have so often said no county can boast of more honest or clever, or capable officials than Granville. We congratulate our good friends A. W. Graham. E. K. Howard. J. B. Mayes, W. T. Lyon and S. M. Wheeler and are not only glad of their election but glad also that they have such fine majorities. We are especially fortunate in that we have returned Judge Graham to the Legislature. There Is legislation of Importance to be enacted for Gran ville at this term and we need his wisdom, conservatism and expetl- ence. Here s to the entire ticket and hoping our county may ever be fa vored with such worthy and compe tent officials. As to Senator Long he was well taken care of In Granville and polled a large inajoiity. He will make this district a most worthy and capable Senator. Hon. W. V. Kltchln's ma-" jorlty Is also most gratifying. It will be 1,000 or more, and In the dis trict will be 6, OOl. or 7,000. We con gratulate our people upon his return to Congress. He made a great joint campaign one which will be remem bered as among the most memorable In the State's history. We assure Mr. Kltchin that no county in the mscriCL is more ueiignueu ai ma elec tion than old Granville. In the name of the Democrats of Granville we extend to General P. S. Royster, the able and most effi cient Chairman of Executive Commit tee, the warmest congratulations upon the big victory achieved in the county, and If he ever desires their suffrage for any office he will be ac corded their heartiest support.

DEMOCRACY YET TRUE AS STEEL Majority for the Democratic Ticket Will be About 50.000 Ten Con- greesman Elected. News and Observer says North Carolina stands straight and true to Its best Interests and to its noble his tory elects a Democratic Governor and State officials and gives its 12 electorlal votes to Alton Brooks Parker. It Is true as steel. At midnight the returns from the various counties in North Carolina clearly Indicated that the State is Democratic by a majority of about 50,000, and later returns made no changes. Democrats elect ten members of Congress. The returns are complete as to this fact from eight districts, and the news from the Eighth and Tenth Indicate that both are Demo cratic by small majorities. In the Tenth Gudger is said to be elected by 1,200 majority, but the margin for Newland In the Eighth is raid to be very close. The Democrats will not lose a mem ber In either branch of the General Assembly, but will hold the count es giving majorities, in 1901, perhaps gaining. In the House there will be at least 101 Democratic members out of 120, and lu the Senate 44 members ou t of 50. The weather yesterday was perfect and In many counties Democratic majorities were Increased. In the Presidential election the 12 votes of North Carolina go to Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate Fh'do'r.i!!'--rt.i -vHI ).o "taontoW fttlft In 1900 the electorlal vote of North Carolina went to Mr. Bryan by a majority of 24,671. but this was be fore the Constitutional Amendment went into effect. The Democratic State ticket elected eleeted yesterday is follows: Governor Robert B. Glenn. Lieut. Gov. Francis D. Winston. Secretary of State J. Bryan Grimes. Auditor B. F. Dixon. Treasurer B. R. Lacy. Attorney-General Robt. D. Gil mer. Superintendent Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner. Commissioner of Labor and Print ing H. B. Varner. Corporal ion Commissioner S. L. Rogers.

Tenth District J. M. Gudger, Jr. It is impossible to give the exact vote In the State, but the returns as received from sixty-one counties ln- licates that the Democratic majority will be in the neighborhood of 50,000. Taking the votes as wired In last night for the sixty one counties and giving the Democrats uO to o per cent, of the vote cast in 1902, and at the same time giving the Republicans the benefit of their full vote In 1902 the Democratic majorities are shown to be 54,605, the Republican majorities 5 925, or a net Democratic majority of 48,740, this upon the basis of losses bv the Democrats In every county not reported and no losses charged against the Republicans. Upon this basis it is calculated that the Dem ocratic majority will be about 50,000. Vance county Democratic by 500 majority. Frankllnton county rolls up ltoO majority. Person county reaches from 400 to 00 majority. Durham county stands firm with about 800 majority electing Mr. J. C. Biggs to the legislature.

L. Millner, o Morganton, N. C, and passed an or dinance formally ratifying it in very respect. One of "Mr. Mlllner's asso ciates, Mr. H. A. Pressy.of Washing ton City, was present and stated In the most emphatic terms that they were ready to begin work at once and that their engineers would be here by Wednesday or Thursday of this week. He drove over our town In the morning and expressed him self as being well pleased, and said he Intended building a plant equal to the best, would give a service second to none and in return only wanted our hearty co-operation and support. The Board assured him of this and we congratulate our people that water and lights are now assured. Mr. Millner is here to stay and will give his entire time to the construc tion of the system.
