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.

"communism of pelf," a corrup

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

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

"SKINNERS. PANORAMA," ...
Editor Ramsey, , cf the Pro
gressive Farmer does not want
any Pritchardism in his.; He
hits the: "lightning changer"
traiphtrom the shoulder every
time and ; in " yesterday's issue,
among' other things, has the
ollowing to eay about the gen
tleman who changes his -views
about as often as the moon
changes:
It is no y proper - to refer " to
Senator Pritchard and Skinner's
financial panorama.
"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. .

description of his trip to Cuba
writes the New York Journal?
