Legislature Elections and Bank Influence Debate
The North Carolina legislature convened in Raleigh with 16 Senate seats and 112 in the Commons. On the first Senate ballot Louis D. Wilson and Andrew Joyner tied at 20, then 22 to 22 on the second. Joyner led 22 to 20 on Tuesday with Col. Joyner’s support shifting after a Bank-related misperception. In the House Wm. A. Graham won Speaker with 61 votes to M. Hoke’s 49. Provisions note corn prices and pork markets. The New York City result is hailed as Democratic gains amid alleged fraud, with Swartwout’s defalcation drawing attention to public funds security and a proposed Constitutional Treasury bill failure influencing losses.
