Il The Register of yesterday talks largely abou
carrying Wake County for the wings at the mex
election That paper says:


/ p" The result of the Election in Wake demons
trates that Loco Focoism shaken TO its centre iu
this strong hold and that the seeds of disruption
and future defeat have been sown broad cast.
l "And our Whig Commoners who fought the
battle like gallant soldiers defeated it is true
but bv so lean vote, that such another victory to
the democrats" will ruin them forever"


Now the " result of the election in Wake demon
strates," in the first place, that the Democratic
strength wds not polled by at least one hundred
votes for the highest candidate Mr.. Sims while
Mr.. Battle, who has not the personal popularity
Of Messrs. HintoD and Miller, runs up within one
vote Of Col. Norris at the election in 1914. Mr.
Battle received generally the whig vote, for the
wings had laid their plans well, and were nearly
all out at the election; while Messrs. Sims, Wild
der, and Holden, the Democratic candidates, fell
behind the usual party vote, solely because the
Democrats anticipated an easy election, and made
no extraordinary efforts to poll their fall strength
In addition to this the most sneakng and Infamous
means were rcsorted to by the whig leaders 10
cut down the vote of Mr.. Shepard and defeat the
Democratic candidates; and John Hayes, a traitor





and TO his known pledges, canvassee the County
as Democrat, bat was put on the whig ticket on
the day Of election and was voted for by the wings
with Messrs. Battle and Utley As the instrument
of the whig leaders, to whom he was no doubt
under secret pledges, he made every conceivable
effort to impair the strength of the Democratic
party; and at his own election precinct, where he
pretended to be Democrat, though his name was
on the whig ticket, he made the only impression
which was made against the regular Democratic
ticket. The vote of the Editor of this paper. il
will be seen by reference to the table, fell consid
erably behind at the Hayes precinct; and this was
10 be expected for on the day of election we were
confined at home by indispositon, while whig lies
and whig SANDERS, and all sorts of false charges
we're freely circulated against us, by the whig
leaders and by John Hayes But thanks to the
Democrats of Rolesville and the glorious " Dark
Corner"Jthanks to the pure and indomitable De-.
nocracy of the County, the cause of truth and ius
ice triumphed, and Federalism, with its. Banks
ind Rail Roads, and Merchants to back il ffil
orostra:e 10 the dust Thus may it ever be- and
hus '0iH it ever be, the predictions of the Register
o the contrary Notwithstanding
