"There were introduced the steam saw mills and cotton gins, wheat threshers and other genie of modern industry. Hii her came "the Jersey stock to rerolutioairie cattle breed ing in the Juistern section, lite State Geological .Survey was saved and maintained through Its . in fluences. It is the direct parent of the Agricultural 'department, through its committee apiwintcd to labor with the General Assembly The great And valuable Experinien tal Station is another of its trophies. And in toe lulinens ot time, as a further outgrowth, the long sleeping appropriation of the United States was taken up, and tlie college of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts was instituted, to begin a record to last fcw ages. "J hrough all or its devoted mem bers the distinguished Alexander, of Mecklenburg, committees were ap pointed to make knowa and extend the blessings of the stock law, where suited to the needs of the people. ' "Through the efforts of others like my friend on the right, V. 8. Primrose, the Exposition of 1884 told North Carulinkas the stnrj of their wealth so abm the displays at Boston and New Orleans, at Vienna and Chicago, may all be traced to I bar original source in tbu organ ization.

Holt. If a;,y enter prise faltered for lack of meant., his reudy hand supplied it. His faith was sublime, and his work parallel ed his uuth. 1 wenty-h ve years ago, I was one of the editorial as sociation of the State, and in their name greeted him as the Napoleon of our industries. In reply, he prophesied the conquest of the first position among Southern States for the cotton manufacturer, and lived to see that prediction true, in the 179 mills of to-day. "In the darker days of this society in 1876, he bade the secretary "draw upon me, the Fair shall not fail." I need not recite details familiar to you, all of similar deeds alone the line of his faithful, his indefatigable life of energy. "He was an inspiring example to the State he loved. Descended from an ancestry that has just made Haw river musical with whirring wheels, he went on and yet on to greater triumphs of manufacturing skill to the close of his dnys, As a farmer his thousand acres ot clover in Davidson was an object lesson, and he snatched the gold medal for the bust wheat in the world, at tho Chi ciigo Fair, as a proud trophy for North Carolina. - 'No operative in his employ ever struck for a grievance. As a man, he was juct and kind, and true. The people of Alamance loved him as a father and friend. Ho came to the General Assembly, by tho com mon consent of all, for they knew he was the pillar of the poor or the oppressed. Culled from .his multifarious duties by the decree of Providence to assume the unwonted cares of the governorship of this great State, in spite of the fears of those who hud not fathomed the great power be hind his modest renerve, ho came to the Executive chamber early and late, und exhibited a mastery of the affairs of State,- a wisdom in tho selection of his appointments, a sympathy with the needs of the whole people, and a forethought for their true interests, and in such a broad-minded and great hearted spirit, that it is not too much to say that the great mass of our eople, of whatever, political faith attended him to his well-won rest with a pro founder appreciation and a deeer rcsecland admiration than ever be fore, in his eventful career. "Death came, also, in the fullness of manhood, and when his people hope ! for many years of prosperous usefulness, in. the whole direction of the hold that he had won upon the hearts of tho people. Three wte!cs lefore the end, he honored your sp'ja'er witU a letter In . which he intimated the shortness of time lett to him but so great were hiri sufferings that the relief of death would not bo up welcome but ris ing above the .wear and tear of physical ill, the burden of that let ter was a tender and sorrowful anxiety for the welfare of the peo ple of North Carolina, of which he was solicitious to the end. "Who that was present when we committed his ashes to the dust will ever Alamance county was closed ; every factory was silent; simple and and unostentatious were the ser vices, but a whole people, men. wo men and childen, with bowed heads and stricken faces, stood as one in the same majesty of grief. 'Gov. Thomas M. Holt os a true man and an bumble Christian. I will venture to disclose one of the secrets most jealously guarded dur ing his life time never in print end known but to one or. two through the fiirre or circumnonre. He' was in the haUt of placing by and set ting rt annually a sum conse crated to his- Divine Master's work upon earth. From this he was ac customed to educate young men of promise, who might be pillars of owfulneM to his beloved North Carolina after he had pawed away. No doubt many a young man to- College, he was a friend no ' less of the State University and the public schools. His personal ties were as strong as steel. Asa citizen he was public-spirited, proud ot his State, zclous for her honor. It does not become the speaker to invade the exquisite life of his beloved home circle. - f . "As a financier, he was eminent ly just and successful. As a Chris tian, no man was moire forgiving, and more humble. As the chief magistrate of the State, he will rank among tho very first in her annals. "The monuments he erected, the first to which he was a liberal con tributor was that on the battlo field of Alamance to commemorate the pre-Rovolutionary patriots ; another entirely by himself on the Guilford Battle Ground, in token of his de votion to the self-sacrifice of tho brave Carolinians who rendered that spot immortal ; the third lives in the heart of -his countrymen, as they, enshrine among their truest patriots and statesmen, the beloved name of Thomas M. Holt. " At the conclusion of Captain Den- son's address two committees, of five mem tars each, were appointed to draft suitablo resolutions in regard to the death of Governor Holt and V. G.

Washington, Nov. 13. while President Cleveland may have failed in many things he has undertaken, his administration has just won the greatest diplomatic vic tory in the history of our country. The negotiations, now completed, of the treaty providing for the surmiis sion to arbitration of the Venezuela boundary dispute involves a ful recognition of the Monroe doctrine by Great Britain, and consequently the rest of the world, and complies with every demand made by thin government. . The extent of this diplomatic victory may be com pre hended best by remembering that Venezuela has been trying to get great Britain to arbitrate the dispute for more than fifty years, and now the other party to the arbitration is not to be Venezuela but the United States. Members of the diplomatic corps say the credit for the victory is mora largely due to Secretary Olney than to President Cleveland No matter to whom credit is due, it is a matter for every patriotic Amer ican to reioice over. Besinninor with Monroe every President of the United States has asserted the right of this country to interferes to pre vent the forcible acquisition of ter ritory on this continent by a foreign power, but never until now has that right been recognized by a Euro pean nation. Tho republican circus promises to open with the roiissomMing of Con gress, instead of waiting for tho in auguration of McKinley, and the performance is likely to be continu ous, and from the number of clowns who will appear it ought to be up- roarously "funny". The fun may not materialize, but tho uproar can bo counted upon to a dead cer tainty. Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith was in Washington this week on legal bus iness.

It will be remembered that the Post, from the very first, insist ed -that Bryan's chances were good, that at any stage of the campaign " his election was a possibility, and that McKinley's election, although we regard it as highly probable; de )cnded after all upon a very narrow ana uncertain margin. As unan swerable proof that we were right in this, we now call attention to ti e following table, showing how a change of little more than 25,000 votes, distributed over nine Stater, would have elected Bryan, notwitl..' standing his big majorities elsewhere; Electoral Majori.
