Yadkin Yancey We are now able to present our readers with, a tabulated vote , f the election returns from all but 12 of the State's 97 counties. The majorities for the amendment and the State hem oratio ticket break all records. It is the most sweeping and overwhelming victory the Democrats of North Caro lina have ever won. Both branches of the Legislature are Democratic, by a large majority and Chairman Simmons claims that the Democrats will have four-fifths of each House. Mecklenburg county gives a majority tf :l,o00 for th.L Wilkes amendment .:n-i the State ticket and , Wil--on far as heard from, ia the banner county. The maioritice al! over the Statp fnr exceed the most extravagant estimated ! of the Democratic managers. No accurate return iyive been re ceived from Uladep. Camden, Cherokee, Clay, Currituck. Dare, Grahim, II ij -wood, Hyde, Transylvania, Yadkin and Yancey. In the list given it is shown that eleven counties have been carried by the Republicans, with a tot 1 1 ma jority of about 4.975 against the anir.u. ment. The Democrats have certa:nly carried 67 countle-i with a total major ity of 60.S70. This gives a Demcx-r;ti.-majority of 55.335 for the amendment and the Democratic State ticket. F.ve counties are put down in th- hst as doubtful. Of these the Democrats will probably get three, but the majorities will be small as not to atTect the general result. No authentic news has been received from 'twelve counties. Of il .-e, DIaden, Carader4. Currituck nn'l Dare will probably gr Democrat'1, and the- rest Republican Tho majoilties' will hatdly be enough either way to affect the result as given.

In the Wed the discouraging news conui from Macon, which i said to be in fimibt, Alexander, which is prob ably Republican, an.'. Caldwell, which is uernocrauc ny a narrow margin. I The good news from tho Vest is that ! Burcn.be gives a apod D?mocraFc IniForitv. thus insuring the election i of two State I whu h gives a I ver before. No news has come from iho smaller far western counties, re ) mote from railroads, and we put. them , in the doubtful column. The Populists will not have a single i member of the l egislature unless they i have earned Samoson, which would j give them two, and Chatham, which would give them one, making three all told. They may get one or two others. ' The Republicans will have all the ! bal ;nce of the opposition.
