Data SourcesOfficial returns, N.C. Department of Archives and History. Wilkes County did not report its votes in this race, which would have cut Cowles's lead in half.
Description Faucette candidacy
Faucette announced his candidacy under the banner of the Independent Alliance (a farmer's organization) on 9/18/1890 (Lenoir Topic, 10/1/1890). The Republican district convention met that same day and agreed not to run a nominee. Many delegates wanted to officially endorse Faucette, who became the unofficial Republican candidate (Lenoir Topic, 9/24/1890).
