They were most generous and effective and will receive the warm approbation of your country men everywhere. I will be pleased to have you convey to your associates of the national committee my nigh appre ciation of their efficient services. The people in their majesty, ignoring par ty lines, have declared their detesta tlon of repudiation and dishonor in whatever specious guise they may be presented. They have with the same power affirmed their devotion to law and order and their unaeviating re spect for -justice and the courts. They have maintained their unfaltering de termination to support and uphold the constituted authorities of the country and have thereby given new vigor and strength to our free institutions.

They have -indeed again, consecrated them selves to country and baptized the cheerish ordnances of free government with a new and holy patriotism. 'Not the least of the triumphs of the election is the obliteration of sectional lines in the republic. We have demonstrated to the world that we are a reunited people in purpose as in name. We have manifested in the great cause the spirit of fraternity ana brougnt hones that should always characterize our common and equal citizenship and have conclusively that In a country of equal privileges and equal opportunities the insidious doctrine of hiflta or of class or sectional distinc tions cannot prevail. Let us as Ameri cans, straigntway aevoie uuracivra tu the upbuilding of.

"The' national democracy has been defeated, but from returns in our po-sesslon and which we believe will be shown by the final vote in the elctoral colleee.twenty-six states with zoo elect oral votes have indorsed its candidates and approved Its platform.

Vice Chairman Payne, of the republican national com mittee, was content today to rest upon the total of 264. electoral votesi for Wil liam McKinley. He said he could have added one more as sure for the president-elect, that of one from Wyoming who is said to have slipped in a win ner because the middle-of-the-road populist elector refused to withdraw and drew vital strength from the fusion ticket. Mr.

Payne said his advices from Chairman Roberts, -of the Kentucky committee; assured him that state's vote would be for McKinley but it would require the official count to de termine what the majority was. ax present Chairtnan Roberts claimed it by 1,200. This state would give McKinley 280 votes. The following telegram was received from United States Senator Warren, who is chairman of the Wyoming. republican committee: "The republicans carry eight coun ties for the national and state tickets.

One county -surely republican not heard from. Have certainly one presidential elector and the supreme court Judge. State is very close.but returns received indicate the election of remaining two electors and congressmen." Chairman Gowdy telegraphed from Indianapolis to executive committeeman Durbin, Sticking to his figures of ast night as to the republican majori ty In Indiana 20,000 and adding that Congressmen Leighty, Hardy, Sulzer and were probably -defeated, making the delegation nine republicans to four democrats and both branches of the legislature sure. 1 Mr. Payne did some figuring on 'the next senate, saying: "We will have a majority for sound money in the sen ate.

There will be forty-six senators for gold, forty-two for free silver and two doubtful, the doubt resting on the legislatures which have just been elect ed. On the question of passing a tariff bill independent of a free silver rider, there will be forty-seven for, for ty against and three doubtful. We count on such silver senators as Kyle and Cannon voting with the administration."

W. Polvogt Day today. Big Bargain Consul General Lee's Arrival. New York, November 5. Consul General Lee arrived in this city today from Havana on the steamer Vigilancia.

The Vigil ancia arrived at, her dock at 9 o'clock a. m. General Lee was met at the pier by a number of Cubans and Spaniards, some of whom he had succeeded in liberating from Morro castle, where they had- been incarcerated by General Weyler as political prisoners. When General Lee was asked to talk the situation in Cuba, addressing a group of reporters, he said: "Now, boys, I understand your position and I Ulinn. uuuuiauu iiiiiiv.

a-wu know it would be impolitic for me to say anything about Cuban affairs even aside from my official position." The general looked extremely well, and was in exceptionally good spirits. He was asked what was his mission here at this time and he "Oh, I only came up to see how the election went." Asked what he thought of It, he said: "Paz a los muertos," which he translated "let the dead rest or "peace to the dead." When asked seri ously what his mission here he re fused to tell, but he said he would go to Washington by the very first train and as soon as he had called upon President Cleveland he would go to-Virginia and visit his family. He said he would return to Havana in three or four weeks and would be glad when the time arrivedfor his departure, for he did not relish the idea of a winter here when he could enjoy.it in a pleasantejr place. Among those who met General Lee at the dock were Lorenzo Betancourt, S. Tolon, F.

Zajdo, the agent of August Belmont banking house in Havana: Louis Place, a wealthy Cuba planter, and Miguel Men-rdoza. They all congratulated General Lee and thanked him for his work on behalf of, Americans in Cuba. Washington, November 5.

Both Sides Claiming Kentucky. Louisville, November 5. Both sides continue to claim Kentucky. (The republicans give figures, but Secretary Richardson, of the silver democratic committee, declines to give out any in formation in the possession of his com mittee, except to make the statement that Bryan has carried the state. Chairman Roberts, of the committee, said at 8 o'clock: "McKinley has car ried Kentucky by at least 600 and they cannot count us out.

We depend'-on the Eleventh district to overcome the plurality of Bryan in eight districts. We expect at least 14,000 plurality in the Eleventh. This will give us 400 plurality on the state and I expect it to go to 600. The democratic pluralities from western Kentucky are almost exactly the sarne as Chairman Som-mers estimates and this looks as if his managers there gave him Just what" he asked for." In a telegram to Canton, Mr. Roberts said: "Democrats are howling that we are counting them out in the moun tains.

This is to hide the absurdly large Bryan majorities in Owen, Graves, Union and a dozen other coun ties." The Evening Times 6:30 o'clock extra gives McKinley the state by 478 plural ity. It will take the official eount to decide the result. Te official count, which is now in progress, in every county will probably finished by Saturday, except in this (Jefferson) county, where it will take a week. It is expected that McKinley will gain 150 in Jefferson if the ratio of today keeps up. The republicans claim the state now by at least 700.

Never in the' history of politics has the press of North Carolina been subletted to CTeater annoyancesy received so vmariy taunts, had its sincerity so wantonly assailed, and been governed by conditions which placed a wrong construction upon itspoUcy, as during th onmrjaien lust ended. while -the democratic press has struggled wun pouucai Ivor cent, and Its DOSlUon naa own very greatly misrepresented, yet it has mginMi Bteadfast to its all of its best interests, and the wejf are of its people.

Therefore with the political campaign over it is a welcome relief to the press that -it-can now turn -its' attention to somehing else-which proves less weari some and more remunerative than poi Itics.
