'o Advertising rates made known on application DURHAM, N. C, JAN. 14, 1897. GREAT IS DEFEAT. The Electorial College met In Raleigh Monday and nominated William Jennings Bryan for president and Sewall received 6 votes and Watson 5 for vice- president. : Benjamin F. Keith nominated W. J. Bryan and his nomina tion was seconded by several of the electors. Theo. F. Kluttz, who it will be remembered seconded Mr. Bryan's nomination at Chicago, and who spoke here during the campaign, in seconding the no ruination Monday said; - "I am as ready to follow him, to honor him, to vote, for him, . now, as when at the behest ol the North Carolina delegation, I seconded his nomination a' Chicago. "I would rather be Bryan de feated, than McKinley' elected. . "Never before, has any man so completely vindicated the wisdom of Lis nomination. "Never before, has the world seen a canvass so able, so brilli ant, po patriotic, so fearless, so tactful, so blameless, so stu pendous. - " "Never was canvass or contest-waged in the facebf odds eo fearful. "A divided Democracy, dis sensions among the forces of bimetallism, unfortunate mis takes and complications as to vice presidential candidates. thp financial sins and short-coming? of an administration elected ae Democratic, these were some of the burdens which our bril liant young leader was forced to bear. .ilT-.l. J J 1 1 1 and bound together by the "communism of pelf," a corrup tion fund born of the greed and desperation of trusts, rnonopo lies, and great moneyed inter ests greater than the price paid by Didius for the purple of the - Caesars, and the rule of all the Roman realms; corrnption coercion, intimidation" bold, powerful and unblushing, the tremendous influence of metro politan pulpit and priesthood io 80 far as Ujiogld be reached by mercenary ' considerations; an infamously malevolent and per sistent defamation of the Chi cago platform and its adher entsby a "maliciously menda clous" metropolitan press; the active.malignant.relentless hos tility of a recalcitrant Democrat- . - ic . aamimsirauon inc-se were some of the forct-s and infiupnc es which he was called to fight "That he went down in ap pirent defeat in thisA4 1- disadvantageous assault ... -the.powers of plutocracy is no cause for wonder, no cause for discouragement." Never were truer words ut tered. William J. Bryan stands - today without a peer in the hearts of the great mumtm. pie of this cation. He went down under the powerful weight of the trusts and combines but io defeat Is grea'er than his op ponent in victory. He will come again. This was only a skir mUh of a great battle that will be fought in 1900 when the sit ter forces, led .by that grand patriot William X Bryant will march on to a grand vic tory. 0 CAJf TIIK MOUTH MATVIl Til IX? It is the custom of some north ern journals to be continually jumping on the south for lawless ness and murders without taking into consideration the circum stances under which the crimes were committed. m It seems that the south is not the only place where lawlessness exists. From a recent issue of the Pittsburg Dispatch we take the following: "Thirty murders In one year, J as reported by the coroner,' makes ' a black record for this county, It! is all the mow deplorable in view; of the lack of effort on the part j)f the couuty; authorities to appre hend the criminals. The request of the ' coroner and district at torney that rewards be oftered for certain murderers, who... were known to have lingered about within the county for days and even weeks alter toe muraers were committed, has been utterly ignored, and no effort has been made in any other mauner to se cure their arrest and conviction,". The above may be well com mended to the prayerful consider ation of the journals above " men tioned, who are continually tuni ng up the white of their eyes in holy horror over the - "bloody orgies' in the south. The New York Evening Postjias recently indulged in a moet ; malicious at tack uuon the soutn as a land of ... lawlessness and brutal homicides Can it match in the south this record from the great industrial community of Pennsylvania, the state founded by the peace-loving Penn. with his broad-brimmed hat? OS TUIAIj FOR HIS LIFE. : Reuben Barbee is on trial for nis life. He is charged, as ' our readers are well aware, with murdering William Cole last June and now twelve of bis fel low countrymen have taken his life in their hands and must say whether he shall live or die. . It is a fearful responsibility and the evidence in the case alone should determine what their verdict shall be; If an innocent man's blood has been shed without cause then the law says that his slayer shall pay for the crime by forfeiting his life, and the law should be en f orced whether it applies to the most debauched wretch on earth or to the millionaire, who rolls in his wealth.- Most men are entirely too quick to express an opinion be fore they have heard the facts in the case and frequently we hear men say that "he should be hanged," even before they have heard one word of evi dence in the prisoners favor This is wrong The old rule "think twice before you speat onoe" is a good one and if fol lowed more closely would bt better for every body concerned Twelve men have taken solemn oath to "sit together, hear the evidence and render verd-ct accordingly." With them rests the responsibility and we hope Barbee will get justice whether that be the gl lows, the penitentiary or his freedom. 1 II E DOES I' IS BEST. Gen. Weyler's latest day's work oi wnicn account nas been re ceived, amounted to eighteen murders, says the Washington Times; and yet there is gloom in Spain.

"Old Nick'' and Mark Hanna must have had a Hearty laugh when they read Col. Pritchard's atest string of promises. Col. Bryan Tyson' is in favor of running the per capita circu ation up to $80. Between Ty son and Pritchard-give us Ty son. When Col. : Pritchard jcomes orward with his next bat ch o promises he will probably agree to vote for a"bill to make old shoes a legal tender, provided England and Mark Hanna don't object, and by "Independent ac tior." if they do make a kick. The people of North Carolina are tired of treachery and fool ishnees. They have been trying to abate the evils, and do not propose to take any backward steps. Once more we serve no tice that this paper will expose Senator Pritcbard, his methods, and those so" called . Populists who are working to re-elect him under the plea that they have made some sort of pledges. All pledges became void when Sen ator Pritcbard began to craw fish from the position betook in the financial question two y tart ago, when he was first elected Pritchard may get a few- bolt ers, but the Populist party can' be. delivered, neither can tho in fluential leaders. . - -.'An Money Sees IU. - Senator Money, prefacing his description of his trip to Cuba writes the New York Journal?
