Jr Sincere Silver man can now afford to vote against the ticket put up at Chicago The piatiorm d the Candidates, are together an with us no straddling.- It isn't the loudest talker nor the biggest bluffer that convinces the mnct nunnlfl. On the contrary, both LU -lu j y-' v ' i ' of them invite distrust. Quiet argu ment gains more converts than blus t?r. Earnestness and sincerity seem more inherent in the low voiced orator than to the rampant dem agogue. Some months ago it was an nouueed that (Japt. .Dili JJay, oi Woiifo-r had become a Reneblican. Since the Democratic State conven- 01 . ... , , tion the Captain says that while he i cannot support any tree snver na- ticket the State must be Wl from Russell at all hazards : w w Pnln hfl no better ticket 7 . put up luiiu ouc xu, nees for State omces, aua tnat ne will certainly vote the straight Democratic ticket in the State. ------ . We are constantly assured that electricity is "in its infancy," yet to-day over $700,000,000 is inves ted in electric railways in the United States, with 1,200 miles of roads and 25,000 trolley cars. In addition $325,000,000 is invested in electric lighting, with private lighting plants valued at $200,- 000.000. There are estimated to be over 500,000 electric motors in the United States, and our electric investments are srreater than in all other countries combined Taken altogether, these invest mentsfoot up some $1,250,000,000, and thev are increasing at the rate of $100,000,000 a of this investment has year. All grown up within 20 years, within ten years. and most of it If this is the infantile state of electricity, what will it be when it gets its growth? IT IS GOOD ENOUGH. As the Durham Sun says, hur rah for the Democratic ticket and platform ! No matter what sort of a Demo crat you were before the Chicago convention made'the platform and nominated the ticket, it is now the proper thing for you to hurrah for the ticket and platform, and to go to work and render what aid you can towards obtaining a victory. More will be known as to the chance the Democracy has to wiu after the populist and silver party conven tions, both of which meet at St. Louis on the 22nd of this month. If the members of those conven tions are as devoted to the cause of silver as thejr profess to be, they will nominate no ticket of their own, but will endorse the. Demo cratic ticket. Should they do that the McKinley crowd would be the worst frightened men in the coun try. Should the populist and the sil ver Republicans get their backs up because the Democratic convention would not allow them to name the ticket, Mark Hanua's smile will perceptibly broaden, but let us at least hope that they will do noth ing so suicidal. W. J. Bryan, the nominee for president, is an able man, a bril liant man, a magnetic man. He has a clean record and a good one. According to our way of thinking, from all of the splendid material it had in band the convention could not have done better. The ticket is good enough for. every man, who desires to see the white metal restored to its right place as ..." . i ; TTTl . constitutional money, w nat se rious objection can be raised to the nominee for President? and ViceiPresident? ' V A PLAIN PROPOSITION. A test of the sincerity of Popu lists, Free Silver party men,and all others who have declared that free silver is a question above party is presented in the nomination of Mr. Bryan for president by the national Democratic convention. No man who has the slightest acquaintance with his record has or can have in his heart any doubt of the sincere devotion of this young candidate to the cause of free silver coinage at the ratio of 16toT. Mr. Bland has a longer record on the question, but not a straighter one. Mr. Bland has not argued it more persistently or more repeatedly than has Mr. Bryan since the latter first entered politics, which' is equivalent to saying that no one has. He be lieves it js right, that it is an ab solute neccpssitv to the well-being of the country, and all his heart is in the' cause. We say.everybody knows this. Any who do not can find it out. The proposition isnot a fit one for argument because there is but one side to it. If Mr. Bryan is elected President he will exert every power of his personality and his office to secure, at the earliest moment possible, the enactmentof iaw m-ovidin for the free, independent and unlimited coin age of silver along with gold at the ratio of lb to 1. ho much for the facts. We reiterate an opinion expressed twice in these columns within the past six weeks, that if the free silver people" ol this country con centrate their votes upon the nom inee of the Chicago convention they can elect him. If they di vide, nominating another candi date at St. Louis on the 22d inst, Mr. McKinley will be elected This proposition is so plain a one that it needs no more argument than the other Not enough Demo- crats will vote for Mr. Brvan to j tbim A t m will vote o. for Mr McKinley and a great many more will not vote at all we had just as -well look facts in face and while telling the truth tell it all. If, however, the great bnlk of the Democratic vote, wnjco e wjn undoubtedly receive is supplemented by the votes of those who have been proclaiming that silver is above party, he will oc cupy the White House on the 4th of next March and this is the only chance under heaven to install a free Silverman there at that time. No rational man belie ves that a Populist, endorsed or not by the Free Silver party, or a Free Silver candidate, running upon this issue alone, and endorsed or not by the Populists, can be elected. The situation, then, reduces itself to this: The free silver people can combine upon Bryan, free silver and low tariff man, with a strong leaning toward if not a declared, belief in the government owner ship of railroads, and elect him; or they can run a candidate of their own and by throwing away their votes on nira elect McKinley, a gold standard man and high protec tionist. The free silver men of the country who profess a greater at tachment for silver than for party hold the balance of power in this presidential contest and have the game in their hands. They can sup port the national Democratic ticket this year we are speakinc now more particularly of the Populists - and maintain their consistency. Maj. Wm. A.Graham, of Lincoln, said in the Observer office Friday that the platform was the Alliance platformand Congressman Strowd, Populi8t,of the fourth district, said the same thing1 in Raleigh the same day Maj. Graham adding that Mr. Bryan is an acceptable candi date on it. If we can get their attention we would like to lay the above plain proposition before the Populist masses before their leaders and newspapers get their ear. It will be argued 4o them, of course, that Bryan and the Democratic party are not sincere in their advocacy of free silver, but how else, we ask,' can they hope to get it except through these? The question is' submitted, in kindness and can dor, to honest men who are sin cere iu their desire for free coin age and who have been told, over and over again, that party is noth ing as compared with the cause. The candidates are Bryan, free silver; McKinley, gold standard; and the election of one or the other of these is inevitable. Will you vote for Bryan and help elect liim or will you vote for some one else and thus help elect McKinley? All the talking and writing that can be done between now and No vember cannot shift the argument from this point. Charlotte Ob server. His name is Sewall, the Demo cratic candidate for Vice-President. He is a shipbuilder and the firm has owned as marjy as niuety-five ships that "sailed the ocean .blue." A staunch free sil ver advocate and a man of influence. He is President of a national bank, too. As he knows all about ships we hope he will bring the silver craft through all right into a safe harbor. The oiao n has a rival. love with himself never Geologist Holmes' Work. State Geologist Holmes is now printing special monographs on gold deposits and mining, water- powers, timber trees, clay depds ts, clay industries, and mica min ing. Monographs on corundum and monazite are just from the press and ready for distribution. The field work of the geological survey this spring ana summer will be river measurements to determine the water power of the Roanoke, Catawba, Yadkin and French Broad, and later all other important rivers. More perfect maps of the Pisgah and Asheville regions will be made. Professor Holmes, in the monographs on trees, shows that carelessness with fire has destroyed more long leaf pine than the lumbermen. He also says that on an acre one hog rooted up and killed 1,000 young long leaf pines Hon. T. B. Reed expresses the opinion that Hon. Wm, McKinley hasn't a walk-over by a jugful. He is also much surprised atHhe mani festation of the free silver senti ment and thinks that Mr. McKin ley's managers had better make a note of that. Original Observations. Some people live so completely off of their neighbors that they never sing ex cept in a borrow-tone voice. It is when a woman tried to whistle that the great glory of her mouth is seen without being very much heard. Orange (Va.) Observer. Condensed Testimony. Ch as. B.
