Mr. Bassett is almost helpless and had not voted before last Wednesday in ten or twelve years. He has always been a loyal Democrat, and realizing the danger of a division in his party in the South, he went to Pine Knot and cast his ballot once more for Democracy. Mr. Bassett came to Columbus yesterday for the sole purpose of learning the result of Wednesday’s election.
