folic ytcsssscngcr Published Every Friday BY The Messenger Publishing Company. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1896. A GLANCE 11ACKWAUU. It is ever the part of wisdom to glance backward at receding great events to learn lessons for the future. In the nation it would have been a very great victory if democracy had won, yet at one time it seemed very probable, and who will deny if money had not been criminally used, and every voter let aionebut that democracy would have won. What was the situation when the two great lines of political conflict had been drawn ? On the financial question, the president and admin istration had drifted into republi canism, many former leaders were apathetic ; many others went off after that "republican aid socie ty," the so-called national demo crats. With a great quarrel in its own household, and a bolt from its own ranks, democracy began the fight. To make up for this there was a combination of the silver forces of the South and West. There was not that full unification in all the States South as would have been best. But the time was too short for this. Ex perience will make it so again. The bolt was great, but not so great from the Republican party. Mainly, that party had millions to spend, and spent it for the very life of the party and the continued existence of the gold standard that had fattened it, these years since 1873 off of the country. The lion was aroused. lie fought as never before. He was made to take a stand before the country on the side of gold, protection, and the trusts. This much was gained. We will know where to find them hereafter. Just before the election we trembled for the people, because the money power was seen pro faning the temple of our liberties (in controling votes). But "whom the gods destroy, they first make mad and the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine." It was hardly enough time to win such a great victory against such odds of such a character. But the time will come when money will not turn aside the will of the peo ple. Let us work, watch and wait. There is no good reason for dis couragement. Let it all bring the white people of the South together as a unit, regardless of party. There must be harmony on essen tials. Abuut twenty-five thousand votes, only, changed in about half adozen doubtful States would have given the victory to Bryan. Pa tience, harmony and continued education on bi metalism and oth er questions of State for anoth er four years should bring victory. What has the Republican party done for the negro, though he has voted that ticket about solidly for years ? What ? The welfare of the white people will redown to to the welfare of the colored peo ple. Most of the white people are In the Democratic party. Nine tenths of the negroes in the State get their living from the demo crats, yet, on election day they work against their most numerous and best friends. But they are not the most to blame for this. If the colored man would vote for the best men, the best government without regard to party it would be better for white and black. If this is not done, one of these days the white people of North Carolina are going to come together and pass an educational qualification law that will disfranchise unquali fied voters white and black alike to save the State from bad govern ment of designing politicians. And this is the fairest law, not on the line of color, but on the line of the needed, reasonable qualification of the voter. We regret the election of Rus sell and Pearson more than that of McKinley. North Carolina is in a worse political shape than most of her sister Southern States. She is treading the winepress of her political sorrow. Hard too hard words have been said by democrats against populists, and populists against democrats. Now is the time for reflection, to bury the past, and to unite for the future. Stop calling names. Will the majority of the next legislature do something wise for a better public roads system ; and for improvingthe usefulness of our public schools ? David Bennett Hill, awhile Sen ator from New York, is still keep ing politically silent. May it be a long one. We are not sorry. We seem to be in a minority, but worse things might happen, but not much worse politically. Ignorant vcters make a arvest field for the office seeker. The fldppers are in glee their mouths watering for pie. We desire to see much better signs of the promised return of much prosperity than the frantic jubilations of stock manipulations and gamblers of Wall street. They are fleecing each other on what producers have made and sold at a low price. When the laborer at the anvil, on the farm, in the shops, and elsewhere receive bet ter pay and prices for years, then we will have evidence of better times. A large New York firm offered Bryan 35,000 a year to look after its legal business. Another firm offered him $50,000 a year, but he declined them both. He is not to be turned aside from doing his part in preparing the be-metallic hosts for the conflict in 1900. These declinations add to his great nobility of character. Defeat but shows his greatness. Flour has gone up $1 on the bar rel, and sugar has risen. This benefits the manufacturer and seller. How can the buyer be benefited unless money btcomes more plentiful with which to buy. Don't all republicans give a good answer at once ! A WONDEBFl'L CAMPAIGN. . Wiu. J. Itryan Made the Most Superb Cunvaxs of Any Candidate In History. Philadelphia Times (McKinley.) William J. Bryan has made the most remarkable campaign ever known in the history of politics in this or any other country of the world. lie was nominataed at Chicago on the 10th of July, and since that time he has traveled 18,8oL miles, delivered 502 speeches in 417 towns and cities, covering 27 States. It is estimated also that his andiences aggregated over 2,000,000 of people. Until 1SC0 no presidential can didate had ever taken the statu p, but Stephen A. Douglas, who was a law unto himself and was one of the ablest disputants this nation ever produced, took to the hust ings when a candidate against Lincoln, Breckinridge and Bell, and traversed the country from New Orleans to New England, traveling 3,000 miles and deliver ed 0.1 speeches. Liucolu, who was then regarded as the only man able to cope with Douglas on the stump, made no speeches ami wrote no letters, except those of mere courtesy, from the time of his nom ination until his election. In 1SG4, Lincoln and McClellan were the candidates, and Lincoln delivered 8 speeches and traveled 450 miles. McClellan made 2 brief speeches in the campaign, but did not travel at all. In 18G8 Grant made 3 speeches, notable chiefly for their brevity, and traveled over 3,000 miles. Seymour, his competitor, traveled over 1,000 miles and delivered 8 speeches. In 1872 Graut did not travel at all and made no speeches, while Greeley traveled over 2,000 miles and delivered 70 speeches. In lS7CTildon made 2 very brief speeches and did not leave New York, while Hayes delivered C speeches and traveled about 1,500 miles. In 18S0 Garfield traveled 2,300 miles during the campaign and delivered 97 speeches, while Hancock did not leave his head quarters and delivered only 2 very brief speeches. In 1SS4 Blaine traveled nearly 5,000 miles and delivered 105 speeches, while Cleveland delivered 3 brief speeches and traveled hut 300 miles. In 1S88 Cleveland de livered 1 speech and did not travel at all, while Harrison delivered 5G speeches and did not travel over 200 miles. In 1S92 neither Harri son nor Cleveland went about in the campaign, and Harrison de livered but 2 speeches and Cleve land 4. Bryan's campaign covered the whole country from Bath, Me., in the far East, to Charlotte and Memphis in the South, and West to Grand Island in the interior' of Nebraska, going North as far as Fargo in Dakota, Duluth in Min nesota, Marquette in Wiscousin and Mackinaw City in Michigan, while the whole central belt of the country between Maine and Ne braska would require hundreds of dots on the map to locate the places where he delivered ad dresses. Whether he helped or uindred uis cause may never be settled beyond dispute but he has certainly given to the country and the world the most marvelous ex hibition of energy, endurance and fluency of speech that has ever been exhibited in the political his tory of any country.

Bi-MetallLsm Has Not Been Van quished But Simply Overcome. IT WILL YET TRIUMPH. It Came Near Winning a Victory as It Waa The Work of the Democratic, Populist and Silver Committees Com mended Mr. Itryan Feels No Personal Disappointment. Lincoln, Xeb., Dispatch, Xov. 5th. Wm. J. Bryan to day gave the following statement to the public: u Xo cause ever had supporters more brave, earnest and devoted than those who have espoused the canse of bi-metal!ism. They have fought from conviction and have fought with all the zeal which con viction inspires. Events will prove whether they are right or wrong. Having done their duty as they saw it, they have nothing to re gift. The republican candidate has been heralded as the advance agent of prosperity. If his policy brings real prosperity to the Amer ican people, those who opposed him will share in that prosperity. If, on the other hand, his policies prove an injury to the people gen erally, those of his supporters who do not belong to the office-holding class, or to the privileged classes, will suffer in common with those who opposed him. The friends of bi mctallism have not been van quished ; they have simply been overcome. They believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy of the money changers against the welfare of the humau race, and until convinced of their error, they will continue the warfare against it. "The contest has been waged this year under great embarass meuts and against great odds. The money question has been the paramount issue. The republican convention held out the delusive hope of international bi metallism, while the republican leaders la bored secretly for gold mono metallism. Gold standard demo crats have publicly advocated the election of the Indianapolis ticket, while they labored secretly for the electiou of the republican ticket. The trusts aud corporations have tried to excite a learof lawless ness, while they themselves have been defying the law, and Ameri can financiers have boasted that they were the custodians of na tional honor, while they were se cretly bartering away the nation's financial independence. But in spite of the efforts of the adminis tration and its supporters, in spite of the threats of t he rnouey-loaners at home aud abroad, in spite of the coercions practiced by corpo rations, and in spite of the influ ence of a hostile daily press, bi metallism has almost triumphed in its first great fight. The loss of a few States, and that, too, by a very small plurality, has defeated bi metallism for the present, but bi metallism emerges from the cou test stronger than it was four months ago. "I desire to coinmeud the work of the three national committees which have joined in the manage ment of this campaign. Co-operation between the members of dis tinct political organizations is always difficult, but it has been less so this year than usual. In terest in a common canse of great importance has reduced friction to a mimimum. I hereby express my personal gratitude to the indi vidual members, as well as the executive officers, of the national committee of the democratic, pop ulist aud silver parties, for their efficient, uutiring and unselfish labors. They have laid the founda tion of future success, and will be remembered as pioneers when vic tory is at last secured. "No personal or political friend need grieve because of my defeat. My ambition has been to secure immediate legislation rather than to enjoy the honors of office, and, therefore, defeat brings me no feeling of personal loss. Speaking for the wife who has shared my labors, as well as for myself, I de sire to say that we have been amply repaid for all that we have done. In the love of millions of our fellow-citizens, so kindly ex pressed, we find full compensation for whatever efforts we have put forth. Our hearts have been touched by the devotion of friends, and our lives shall prove our ap preciation of the affection of the plain people, an affection which we prize as the richest reward which this campaign has brought. "In the face of an enemy re joicing in its victory, let the roll be called for the next engagement and urge all friends of bi metallism to renew their allegiance to the cause. It we are right, as I believe we are, we shall yet triumph. Until convinced of their error, let all advocates of bi-metallism con tinue the work. Let all silver clubs retain their organization, hold regular meetings aud circulate literature. Our opponents have succeeded iu this campaign and must now put their theories to the test. Instead of talking mysteri ously about 4 sound mouey ' and an honest dollar,' they must now advocate and defeud a fiuancial system. Every step taken by them should be publicly considered by the silver clubs. "Our cause has prospered most where the money question bus been longest discussed among the people. During the next four years it will be studied all over this na tion even more than it has been studied in the past. "The year 1900 is not far away. Before that year arrives iutwrua tional bi-nietallism wiil cease to deceive; before that ear arrives those who have called themselves gold stand. -.id democrats will be come bi-uietalhsts and be with us or they will become republicans and be open enemies before that year arrives trusts will have.cou vinced still more people that ti e trust is a menace to private wel fare and to public safety; before that year arrives the evil effects of a gold sraudard will be even more evident thau they are now and the people then ready to demand an American financial policy for the American people will joiu with us m the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting lor the aid or consent of any other nation-. Signed Willaim J. Bryan." Bryan Might Ealy Have Won. Washington Post. Au examination of the figures of last Tuesday's vote results in some very curious aud interesting reve lations. It will be remembered that the Post, from the very first, insisted that Bryau's chances were good, that any stage of the cam paign his election was a possibility, and that McKiuley's election, al though we regarded it as highly probable, depended after all upon a very narrow and uncertain margin. As unanswerable proof that we were right iu this, we now c;ill attention to the followiug tab'e, showing how a change of little more than 25,000 votes, dis tributed over nine States, would have elected Bryan, notwithstand ing his big majorities elsewhere: Electoral Majori States. votes. ties. California 9 5,000 Delaware 3 2,000 Indiana 15 22,000 Kentucky 13 500 North Dakota 3 5,000 Oregon 4 3,000 South Dakota 4 300 West Virginia C 12,000 Wyoming 3 200 Total elect6ral votes, CO. Total McKinley majorities, 50, 500. Now, suppose there had been these changes from McKinley to Bryan in the different States respectively : California 2,510 Delaware 1,255 Indiana 11,100 Kentucky 251 North Dakota 2,510 Oregon 1,505 South Dakota 151 West Virginia 0,010 Wyoming 101 Total 25,393 These changes would have given every one of the niue States to Bryan, and, adding their GO votes to the 107 he got elsewhere, would have made his streugth in the electoral college 227 three more than he needed to make him Presi dent. It is a serious reflection that the changing of only 25,393 votes as a matter of fact the change of 25,0G2 votes would have accom plished the result is all t hat stood between the election of McKiuley and the election of Bryan. We commend this reflection to the gentlemen who are throwing up their hats and screaming them selves black in the face with non sense about landslides aud s'milar absurdities. Mr. McKiuley got tremendous majorities in New England, New York, Pennsyl vania, Iowa, Michigan, and Illinois, but in the rest of the couutry he has a mighty narrow escape from defeat.

No Good Can Come of Labored Explana tions nt to Vt hy and How Iiryan Was Defeafrd Let Democrats Follow the Kxanij.le of I'nclr Krninw'sFox Senator Butler's Address, on the Campaign Views of Our Washington Correspond ent. Trom Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov.. 9;h, 1S9G It will be noticed th.ir the shrewd est democrats are not attempting to t'xpl.iiu Itryan's defeat. ''Sufli c;eut i;n!o the day is the evil there of." McKinley was elected be cause be got the most votes, aud uo good can come of labored ex planations as to why and how. If any democrat knows of votes ob tained by means which can be proved to be illegal, it is his duty, as a patriotic citizen to make au exposure in order that the gnilty ci .i.v he punched, but it is idle to waste tiu.e in lowing up other methods which aiv ;ts old as the lie publicnn party. This is a good time for democrats to follow the example of Uncle lieinus's fox and lay low and cat e fully w.itch the ocher fellows. Although McKin ley has won, his supporters are far from being uuited upon a single one of the quest ious whieh must be legislated upon, and whether he can secure such legislation as he desires from the next Congress is a question yet to be answered. The control of the Senate is still iu doubt, aud notwithstanding the republican majority in the House, Speaker Heed's personal ambition may be counted upon to prevent that body being entirely at the beck and call of McKinley. There is nothing in the situation which calls for any new expres siou of opinion on the part of the Democratic party. The party is thoroughly alive, as it has been from the day of its birth and will continue to be as long as free aud untrammeled opinion is allowed to exist in this country, but inasmuch as it has just failed to elect either the President or a majority ol the House, it is not called upon to out line a policy. That is for McKin ley and the republicans to do. When they shall have done so will be time enough for the Democratic party to decide what it will do. Meanwhile democrats should joiu with their republican neighbors iu getting as much benefit as possible out of the boom which the capital ists are pushing, aud which it is hoped will be as permanent as it has been sudden. All of us are in a position to welcome prosperity, no matter from what source it may come, aud he who refuses to do so because his ideas have failed of in dorsement at the polls stands in the position of the man who bit his nose oil to spite his face. Senator liutler. Chairman of the Populist National Committee, has not improved his popularity with democrats by the language he makes use of in au address to the people, on the campaign. He starts out by asserting that "the People's party is the only party that supported solidly and unitedly the great and vital issues repre sented in the candidacy of Mr. Bryan." While technically true, this is calculated to mislead. He closes b making a prophecy, that "the People's party will be the hucIciTs around which the patriot ic hosts must and will gather to redeem a betrayed republic and to restore prosperity to an oppressed and outraged people." Without posing as a rival of Senator Butler in the prophetic held, I will ven ture to say that his prophecy will read very queer in the summer of 11)00 when the Democratic party nominates its next Presidential candidate. Senator Butler means well for himself but in his zeal to make personal capital out of democratic defeat he has overdone the thing aud done himself more harm thau good. It was not a friend of Secretary Carlisle who suggested that he might represent the gold demo crats iu McKinlej 's Cabinet. It may be that the gold democrats deserve a representative in McKin ley ' Cabinet many believe that his election would have been im possible without the votes of the gold democrats but should he de sire to pay that debt, which is ex tremely doubtful, he would proba bly find it difficult to tiud a gold democrat of any standing who would be willing to become a mem ber of his Cabinet, and it would be a safe 100 to 1 bet that Carlisle would not. It is understood here that some very big republicans are iu the deal by which an attempt is to be made to have Mr. Carlisle sent to the Senate by a combina tion of republicans and gold demo cratic votes in the Kentucky legis lation. Bryan's defeat is nothing for him to be ashamed of. A change of less than 2G,000 votes divided among nine states, and varying from 101 votes in the lowest to 11,100 iu the highest, would have given the electoral votes of 9 ad ditional states, a total of CO, to Btyan, and would have elected him with 3 votes to spare. When some over jubilant .McKinleyite gets too gay about the alleged overwhelming nature of the Mc Kiuley landslide, just call his at fentiou to tbee facts. Secretary Gardner has secured rooms for the permanent Head quarters for the National Associa tion of Democratic Clubs, the or ganization of which it is proposed to keep up right along. Mr. Gard ner is also secretary of the Demo cratic Congressional Committee, and its headquarters will oe lo cated at the same place, although it w:ll have no work to do uutil the opening of the Congressional cauipaigu. The True Remedy. W. M. Repine, editor of the Tiskilwa, 111.. Chief, says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds whooping cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Morphew & White's drug store. Palmer and Uuckner. Washington Pout. When, some weeks ago, lion. John M Palmer arid Hon. Simon Boliver Bucbnr were nominated for President and Vice-President, resjeciively by the bolting Demo eiais at Indianapolis, we ventured the predict ion that by the close of the campaign they would be ob jects of almot universal contempt and ridicule. We think we may say this morning that onr prophecy lm been fulfilled. At no time during the contest have they been seriously consid ered for the places to which they pretend to aspire. It has been un derstood on all sides that their candidacy was absurd; that they never would have been considered for the fraction of an instant by any convention represenwnga real patty; that they were performing simply as decoys to entrap timid and unwaiy Democrats aud deliver them to Mr. llarnut to swell the triumphal procession of McKinley. Nobody h is regarded them with respect. No one has contributed to their fund except as a means of promoting the Republican cause. Nobody wauted to elect them. Nobody has offered them the poor travesty of reverence and houor. They have gone through the coun try, a couple of transparant mountebanks and mummers, liob ert Macaire aud Jacques Strop themselves were not more im pudent imposters. It seems in credible that they could have ex pected more that half contemptu ous toleration, yet ofteuer than once they have resented it with a fury that made them only more ridiculous. The have in fact, sad dened us with the thought that out of more than seventy millions of people they only have failed to realize their pitiful predicament. McKiuley will be elected, and he will administer the affairs of gov ernment as best he can under the conditious that beset him. Bryan will be defeated, and will returu to private life, couscious of having made the most gallant and most brilliant fight that man ever made against overwhelming aud uncon querable odds. Botb will be shrined in the affection, the confi dence, and the respect of those who have followed them through out. Both will be recognized by all their fellow citizens as genuine gladiators in a genuine arena. But these poor puppets, these make believe champions of a tinsel cause they will, along with-their beg garly retiuue of allies, the Bynutus, the Cock ran , and the sulking Hills, pass from the stage without one cheeriug word or pitying tear, fortunate beyond their best de serts if they be forgotten utterly. The world forgives the man who will not vote against his conscience. It never forgives and it is seldom able to fortiet the man who plays the huckster with his dignity. Poultry Keeping for Profit. An interesting aud complete publication on the above subject is ready for distribution by the Ex periment Station. It is writteu by F E Ilege, manager of the Poultry Division of the Station, and is in tended for popular reading to give complete information about, poul try and poultry raising. It has 58 pages and is illustrated with 40 cuts, showing the appearance of all the more important breeds of poultry, including ducks. Descrip tions with cuts are given of easily made poultry houses, brooder houses and brooders, and of the various appliances found necessary and useful in poultry raising. Cuts are also given showing the changes that take place in the egg during incubation. Complete instruction is given as to the care of poultry with all the more commou diseases, and how to avoid these diseases. The subjects of artificial hatching by means of incubators aud subse quent care of the chickens by brooders are fullv described. Feed ing and care of young chickens bred by the hen or by incubator, aud also grown fowls, are com pletely discussed. An important subject which is considered is how to improve the common stock by means of a thorough-bred cock. It costs but little or auy more to feed an im proved breed or a well selected cross thau the ordinary barn yard fowl, .et the former is far more profitable. How to dress and ship poultry to market is also described. The bulletin will be sent free upon application to Dr. II. B. Battle, Director, Raleigh, N. C. Poultry raising with the proper care can be made more profitable than almost any other branch of industry, considering the amount of money required. The object of the organization of the poultry di vision of the Experiment Station is to show how this can best be done, and this is also the object of the above bulletin.

Colonel Robert Ingersoll is a rapid thinker aud usually has a good reply on the end of his tongue whenever he is interrupted iu the midst of a speech. On one occasion, however, his gift of re partee v failed him. It happened that he was unusually severe iu his abuse of the Democrats, act ing, of coarse, upon the supposi tion that he was -addressing an audience composed entirely of lie publicans. After he had about finished his diatribe he aked : 4lls there a Democrat in this whole audience! If there is I would like him to stand up and fell the audience how he feels." A gray-haired old nun stood up in the crowd and Colonel Ingersoll turned on him. "So yoi-'re a Democrat, are you!" asked Bb "Well, now, just tell this audience how' you feel. Jusc describe your sensations. I want this great crowd to know what you feel like." A deathlike stillness Jell upon the crowd and the old umn replied in a loud, piercing voice that could be heard all over the house : "I feel like a sound hazelnut in a bushel of rotten beans." A roar of laughter went up from the crowd aud for once the Colonel was not ready with a very good response. Livery and Feed Stable. , GOOD TUO0UTS. CAilEFUL - MlVEIiS. A. B. GILKEY & SON, Marion, C.
