The Journal-Obsekver heartily
congratulates the Democrats of Char

yesterday, and accepts it as a forerun
ner of the general result of the ' elec
tions of 1884.
For the first time in many years the
people of Charlotte have elected an
entire ticket of Democratic white men
to take charge of their municipal attain.
Every ward in the city elected white
men as aldermen, and school commit
tees, and elected a equare Democratic
Mayor by 367 majority. ,'Thls is really
an unprecedented victory and affords
just cause forgratulation.
We hope and expect that the new
Mayor and Aldermen will prove them
selves worthy of the confidence placed
in them, and that they will at once set
to work to effect the needed reforms in
our city affairs.
In all that they may do for the im
provement of the city they will have
the hearty approval of the people. Let
them go ahead with every just and
proper improvement, and they will
assuredly receive the plaudits of their
constituency.

The municipal election held in this
city yesterday resulted in a signal vic
tory for the Democrats, a greater vic
tory. Indeed, than the most sanguine
could have hoped for, every ward in the
city electing Democratic aldermen, and
all save one giving Maxwell strong ma
jorities. The election was singularly
quiet, and at only one box, the Fourth
Ward, was there any appearance of an
election being in progress during the
dsy. In Wards 1 and 4 everything
went one way, and the registrars and
judges had a dull day all together, but
in Wards S and S the contest over the
aldermen made things a little lively.

whose sable countenances have so long
graced the board of aldermenjiave been
cheeked off to where the woodbine
twlnelb. and their voices will no longer
be heard in the councils of the city
fathers. The result of the electien was
received with a good deal of enthusiasm
in the city, and by eight o'clock a big
tar barrel was illuminating Indepen
dence Square. A crowd numbering
about 800 soon gathered, and in re
sponse to calls Mr. W. C. Maxwell, the
mayor elect; mounted the stand and
gave the crowd a first rate little talk.
He thanked them for his election, and
congratulated the Democratic party on
the great "victory acMeved. After ex
plaining his position on the graded
school, and telling what bis course In
regard to the administration of the af
fairs of the city would be, he again re
turned thanks and retired.
Then of coarse the boys weie bound
to have a speech from Governor Van eel
and after shouting themselves hoarse
they were rewarded with the Govern
or's appearance on the balcony of the
Central Hotel. His first remark brought
npa good sised roar, which was re
peated every three minutes during the
Governor's talk. He offered his con
gratulations In bis usual original style
and gave the "git np and git of Char
lotte, the biggest town of its size in the
State" a good send off. Gov. Vance was
followed In congratulatory speeches by
CoL A. M. Waddell and CoL IL C Jones.
who were called out by the crowd.

Strickea with Paralysis.
We regret to learn that Dr. Jno. Is
Henderson, a prominent physician of
Cabarrus county, was laid low by a
stroke of paralysis, at his home in Con
cord last Sunday night, just about
church goioss time. A few minutes
before the stroke came on he was pros
trated by a severe pain in the back of
his head, and when Drs. Lilly and
Young, who had been sent for arrived.
they found him suffering from paral
ysis, nis entire right side is affected.
His condition Sunday night was con
sidered very critical, but yesterday
morning an improvement was noticed
and his family and friends are encour
aged to hope for his speedy recovery.
Dr. Henderson had returned home only
a few days ago from a trip to Florida
for his health. He has many friends in
Charlotte who are pained to 'hear of his
sickness, but who earnestly hope to
hear of his complete recovery at an
early day. j

Messrs.
B. Simmons and B. M.
Miller, Jr,
chants, left
woof our city cotton mer-
or Chester, S. C yesterday
to attend the big sale of cotton at pub-
He auction, -. at that place to-day.
The cotton j to the amount of tflOO bales
or more, is divided off into lots by the
merchants and farmers and knocked
down to the highest bidder, the same
as any thug would be auctioned off.
This style of disposing of cotton was
inaugurated in Chester last year, when
the prices bid went over the market,
and of course it proved profitable for
the sellers, and the idea of having one
big sale every year was adopted. Most
of the cotton put up at these sales Is
owned by people who were able to hold
it back until there should be a good de
mand for the stsple, and when that
time comes, as it has to-day, they have
the cotton ready. The buyers say they
do not like this way of getting cotton.
yet the sale attracts them from all
quarters, and they go there and bid on
the cotton at figures above the market
quotation, all the same.

- There has been no little speculation
and gossip as to the cause or Mr itaums
resignation. It has-been laid to disap
pointed political aspirations and sever

Mr. lis am. however, says he resigned
because he could make, more money

of the taxpayers than he could make
collecting revenue in tne interest ox we
government. To give assurance that
in Is is tne real reason or nis action, ne
advertises in leading journals, offering
his services to persons with claims
against the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Tnat Mr. uiam s services wouia oe
a valuable acquisition to any person or
firm disposed to resist the payment of
taxes due the department cannot be
doubted. His knowledge of the laws
and decisions under which these taxes
are collected and his acquaintance with
the persons in charge of the various
branches of the service who have been
his own subordinates would enable him
to be very useful as an attorney in such
cases.- ' .
There is a law. however, which de
bars any former officer ot the govern
ment from prosecuting xor two years
any claim that was pending when he
resigned. Perhaps, if this is enforced
it will serve to nip some of Mr. Ranm's
money-making aspirations in the bud.

hereafter. In view of this fact the suc
cessor of Mr. Ran m will probably scru
tinize very carefully every ease brought
before him in wnien Mr. uaom appears
as an attorney for the parties resisting
the claim.

Aaother Wild JSaa. . ,
Palaaki Ylrclsla People. .
Nathan Farmer' reports that a wild
man has been discovered in the bound
ary of woods belonging to IL B. Howe,
lying immediately south of the lie
Adam road. He has recently been seen
by a number of persons residing In tnat
neighborhood and is represented as be
ing a tall, ugnt-complected mulatto.
His manner of shunning the public by
running off into the woods to avoid
meeting anyone would indicate that he
had been guilty of some crime from
which he is hiding.
It is thought by some that be Is the
same man who killed a conductor on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway in West
Virginia some time since, and ror tne
capture of whom there is now a reward
of five hundred dollars.
It is hardly necessary for us to add
that this "wild man" is creating no lit-
Ud consternation in tnat particular
neighborhood. .
