NUMBER 8719.
RALEIGH, N. C, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 18 38.
25 CENTS A MONTH
Judicial State Ticket Elected and
House and Senate Over
whelmingly Democratic
Believed that Fusionists Have Lost Every
Congressman in the State and Have
Not Elected a Single Solicitor.
The election throughout the State
and countv resulted In a sweeping
Democratic victory. Last night there
was great rejoicing in this city. Bond
fires burned and men and boys paraded
the streets with tin horns, pans, drums
and other instruments. With all the
rejoicing the best of order prevailed.
The Republicans and Populists now
concede defeat in the State and county.
Wake county has gone Democratic by
at least six hundred, and every man
on the ticket is of course elected. The
official vote for the county will not be
compiled until this evening.
A vote In detail of the county could
not be compiled at this hour, but the
exact official majority in Wake county
will be known this evening. The ma
jority will be from 600 to 700.
This election has been a complete
landslide. Returns have been tele
graphed from the various counties, and
the Democratic candidates for Judges
have been elected by more than 20,000
certain. Two years ago the fusionists
had a majority of between 30,000 and
40,000.
LEGISLATURE.
Both branches of .the State legisla
ture are overwhelmingly Democratic.
In the Senate the Democrats have
elected 43 Senators out of 60 sure, and
may gain 4 others. Indeed, Chairman
Simmons remarked that it was hard to
find a Republican Senator In the State.
Some senatorial districts, as for in
stance Bertie and Northapmton, which
the Democrats did not expect have
gone Democratic.
So far as the House of Representa
tives is concerned the Democrats have
certainly elected1 ninetv of the 120
members, and may gain 6 more when
the returns are in. The next legisla
ture will be far the ablest ever held in
State.
Hon. Lee S. Overman is already men
tioned as Speaker, Hon. Chas. Aycock
for the next Governor and Hon. F. M.
Simmons to suceed Butler when his
term expires.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
The Democrats have elected their
candidates for Congress in every dis
trict in the State, except possibly two.
In the first district when Perquimans
gave 300 majority against Harry Skin-
ner the election of Small was assured.
The Second district is in doubt. If
the Democrats all voted for Fountain,
that is, if the Fountain tickets reached
them in time, then negro White Is
beaten. This district is counted doubt
ful until it can be learned whether
Fountain ran even with the Democratic
county ticketsiv
Congressman Fowler, Populist, is
badly beaten by Chas. Thomas, Dem.
Fowler has fei slender majority In only
two counties Sampson and Moore.
John W. Atwater is doubless
elected to Congress in this district. Jen
kins' defeat is claimed hy considerably
over a thousand. Atwater carried
Late this afternoon a negro was leading a white cow
down Hillsboro street. He was overtaken by the owner of
the cro, which was stolen. The negro ran and the white
S man fired on him, wounding him in the leg. The negro

In the fifth district Congressman
Kitchen had a walk-over, carrying
nearly every county. His majority will
be near 2,000.
Bellamy, Dem., has been elected by
an immense .majority in the sixth dis
trict. He carried every county.
Congressman Lfnney is probably de
feated by Lovel, Dem., in the eighth
district. His majority of over 3,000 has
vanished. Telegram received an

This should make Linney's defeat a
certainty.
Crawford, Dem., has defeated Con
gressman Pearson beyond the shadow
of a doubt. Pearson lost in the Repub

be defeated.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 8. In the
strength displayed by the Democrats
throughout the nation from New York
to the West, resulting in overcoming
the great Republican majority in the
lower House, there was a tearing down
of Republican pluralities in Republi
can strongholds. Western States es
pecially showed Democratic gains in
the districts through which the Presi
dent passed on his speech-making tour
to Omaha, Neb. The fusion Governor
was elected and three Democratic and
three Republican Congressmen In Ne
braska. In the southwest where the
President retained gold Democrats in
office the same occurred. Democratic
delegates were elected to Congress from
New Mexico and Arizzona. Ohio elects
Its quota, sixteen Republican and five
Democratic Congressmen; the State Is
Republican. In Pennsylvania, where
the Quay scandals were expected to
overthrow the Republican machine the
State went overwhelmingly Republican,
electing twenty-one Republican and
eight Democratic Congressmen.
