THE FKANKL1N TIMES J. A. THOMAS, Editor and Proprietor. E. F. TARBOROUGH, Associate Ed ONE YEAR, BIX MONTHS, $1.50 75 FfciDAY. July 10, - - 1896. A CALAMITY. George Tayloe BRYAN THE MAN ! Nominated on the Fifth Ballot To-Day. Dr. George Tayloe Winston, President of the University of North Carolina, has been elected to, and has accepted, the Presiden cy of the University of Texas. The educational interests of North Carolina have suffered a set-back, the extent of -which it is hard to estimate or even conjecture. Although a young man, in the very prime and vigor of his physi cal and intellectual manhood, he is perhaps the ripest scholar in the State. North Carolina has cause for especial pride in Dr. Winston. He is a product of her own born within her borders and in touch and sympathy with the life and spirit of her Institutions. His education is not alone a knowledge of books, although he is a graduate with first honors from Horner's School, the Naval Acade my of Annapolis and Cornell University. He has studied men and conditions coupled with a thorough and varied store of ac curate knowledge he has a fund of practical sense and information that stamp him as a great man. He was elected to the Presidency of the University of North Caroli na in 1891, after having filled the Chair of Latin there for fourteen years. He brought to his new po sition an executive ability and a practical sagacity that surprised even those who were best acqnaint- ed with his vast and varied ac complishments. In five years he built up the institution in numbers from 200 to 550 students. But this was not his greatest work for it. He crushed out false standards and ideals. He breathed into it the spirit of anew life and thought and purpose. He wrought to its being the great truth that in tellectual freedom and moral power is an individual development, and not an hereditary accident. He carried the University on Mb great heart and brain to the masses of the people of North Carolina. He brought into it that class of stu dents who are the States blood and bone in time of war and its brawn and brain in time of peace. He built up new ideals and erected new standards, and, with the sub tle power of a master, he made it appear that these changes were the result of the internal life and force of the Institution, and not of his own effort. These forces, set in motion, will produce beneficent results for years to come ; but the resignation of Dr. Winston means the loss of the University's great est and best factor. It is a public calamity. Dr. Winston goes, however, to an institution rich with marvelous possibilities. A State great in re sources, in area, in the pride and power of young Statehood and cos mopolitan population, invites him to the Presidency of its Universi ty, and the Captaincy of all its great public Educationalinterests. The field is attractive to a strong SILVER MEN ARE JUBILANT North Carolina was for Bryan From The Start. His Nomination Was Seconded by T. F. Klutz, of Salis bury. Notes of the Convention. The representatives of Democra cv from all over this great Union met in Convention at Chicago on Tuesday last. The determination of the silver forces was seqn from the outset when they refused to accept the temporary organziatiou as recommended by the National Committee, and elected Senator JohnW. Daniel, of Virginia, tem porary Chairman over Senator Hill, the Committee's choice. After the appointment of Committees &c, by temporary organization, Sena tor White, of California, was chosen permanent Chairman. From this time on the fight was waged be tween the two factions until the adoption of a ringing silver plattorm. JNommations were now in order and when the vote was called a number of the gold men sulked and refused to vote. The first ballot was lead by Bland who continued in the lead until the fourth ballot when Bryan ran ahead, and on the next ballot re ceived the necessary two-thirds and was declared the nominee amid cheers and hurrahs. Speeches were made by Sena tors Hill, Tillman, Jones, Vilas, Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, and a number of others. Hill and Rus sell were the -leaders of the Gold men and were loudly cheered by that faction. The speech of Bryan was probably what did more than I anything- else to turn the tide in his favor. The silver men went wild with enthusiasm until its completion, Our space is so limited and the news is coming in so slowly that we cannot in this issue give a com plete accountof all the proceedings. We were compelled to hold our forms open until Friday night to get even the nomination which makes us one day late. At this writing 8 P. M., Friday, the con vention is adjourned until 10 P. M., when it meets to nominate a Vice-President. Later After meeting according to adjournment the convention ad journed to 10 o'clock, Saturday. MB. SPRU1LL DECLINES. The Times unintentionally failed last week to refer to the declina tion of Mr. F. S. Spruill, to ac cept the nomination for Presiden tial Elector of this District, which was unanimously tendered him by the recent Congressional Conven tion which met at Raleigh. The following is the letter : Hon. J.' R. Young, Ch'm'n. Ex. Com, 4th., Diet., . Henderson, N. C. Dear Sir : I acknowledge your favor of the 25th inst, advising me of my nomination as Presidential elector by the Democratic Conven tion of the Fourth District. I am deeply grateful to the Dis trict for this mark of their conn dence ; but I am unable to accept the nomination. I was not advised of such pur pose beforehand, or I should have prevented the nomination ; an en forced absence from the District the day the nomination was made prevented me from declining it then. You w ill please accept my thanks for the very complimentary man ner in which your notification wag conveyed. My services, both on the stump and otherwise, will be cheerfully given during the coming cam paign. I Have the honor to be, your obedient servant, F. S. Spruill. Louisburg, N. C, June 27. It is to be regretted that Mr. Spruill could not see his way clear to accept the flattering nomination as we know that he would have made a brilliant and telling can vass. Private reasons, however, prevented his making a thorough canvass ; though he informs us that he will make a number of speeches during the campaign, and we are sure that he can be depended upon in the coming contest to render valian t service. AUGUST 13THTHEDAY. For the Meeting of tlie Populist State Convention in B&leign. Raleigh Press-Visitor: The Pop ulist State Convention will meet in the eity of Raleigb on August 13tb. The call for the convention was issued at a meeting of the Central Committee, which was held at the Park Hotel this morning. There were present SeuatorMarion But ler, Congressman Skinner, W. A. Guthrie, W. H. Kitchen, A. S. Peace and H. W. Ayer, secretary. The only absent member was Cy Thompson. None of the other proceedings, with the exception of the election of delegates to the National Pop ulist Convention, which meets in St. Louis, July 22d, were given out. Editor Ayer said that there was no discussion of the affairs in this State, but that most of the time was spent in joking. NOTICE. IF yoa want roar Watches, Clocks, Pistols.

VAULTS FOR THE RECORDS. -For a number of years the citi zens of Franklin county have been apprehensive as to the safety of the Public Records of the county, and time and again have the Grand Juries recommended that gome- and courageous man," and it is not tning e done by the County Com to be wondered at that Dr. Win- mif,sioners. In fact, such a de ston has accented the invitatinn mand has continually gone up to The salary paid Dr. Winston in Texas is $5,000,00 per annum and His expenses while engaged the Courts for a better protection of the Records, that the present Board felt it incumbent upon them traveliug for the University. This to act in the matter, and the Times in is just twice what he has been paid by our University. This is an ob ject lesson to North Carolina. It teaches us that parsimony is not always economy, and that a State, like an individual, may be "penny wise and pound foolish." We have no doubt thatDr. Win ston leaves North Carolina with sincere regret: He has loved the State, and has labored for her with the devotion of a lover. Men of his age and temperament do not bear transplanting without that breaking apart of fiber and root let that causes pain and sorrow. We bid him Godspeed in his new home, and congratulate the State of Texas on the wisdom of her choice. It is given out that the "rich men'r will not contribute to the impending campaign as has beNm their wont. Would that the peo ple would do their duty as citizens regardless of present pay or pros pective pensions. Purchased pa triotism is not of the best kind is prepared to aunounce to the people that the titles to their prop erty will not be allowed to much longer remain in an unsafe condi tion, as the Commissioners have contracted for fire proof vaults to be placed in the two middle rooms of the Court House. The contract was made with B .F. Smith, General Agent of the St. Louis Art and Me tal Company, through Capt.Thos. L. .Kirby, the total cost to be $3,850, the county to have- ten years in which to pay for the same at 4 per cent, interest. This is no doubt the best coutract that could have been made, and the Times commends tne isoara for tnis im portant step in protecting the Pub lic Records. The firm with whom theontract was made is one of the most reliable in the country, and guarantees satisfaction in, eve'ry particular. Pat Winston Denounces His Partv and Congratulates Cy Watson. Winston N. C, July 3. (Spe cial) Hon. Cyrus B. Watson has received the following strong let ter from Hon. Patrick H. Winston, well known all over North Caroli na, now located at Spokane, Wash ington: "My Dear Watson: Never in my life was I more pleased than when I read in a paper the dispatch an nouncing your nomination for Governor by the Democratic State convention upon a platform de manding the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1. I regret that fate has made it impossible for me to be where I could vote and work for vou and the great and just and sound principle you represent. The Republican party no longer represents the great principle up on which free government is based ana nas aoanaonea every princi ple upon which itself was founded. it Das oecome solely an agency for breeding and maintaining mon opoly. It is the refuge of all the cor poration, high tariff, gold stan dard monopolists and its supre macy means the ultimate over throw of free institutions. I have learnea tnat there is a fusion in your State between Populists and Republicans. It seems impossible. Nothing could be farther apart than a Republican and a Popu lists unless it lis a man already dead and one not yet born. Al though ten years of time and three tuousand miles of distance sepa rate me from North Carolina she is still my best as she was my first love, and I pray fervently that her glorious sons and precious daughters may be spared the ca lamities that will befall them if, in this crisis, they surrender the birthright inherited from Meck lenburg." It will be remembered that be fore moving from this State "Pat" left the Democrats and joined the Republicans. WELL DONE. The work of the Democratic state convention was not only well received, but it is growing in fa vor daily. The convention itself was the largest, the most intelligent, and most determined ever held in the tate. It's work was well done. The platform it promulgated is full of Democratic doctrine, and the ticket is composed of strong and true men, whose popularity will increase from now until elec tion day. The press of the state gives its enthusiastic endorsement to the ticket, and so will the people when thev have had an opportunity to hear and meet their standard bear ers. Democrats will support this tick et not alone as a duty, but they will rally to it. It is a strong tick et. If elected the interests of our state will be sale lor lour years. Now let the work of electing the ticket and saving the state begin without delay. NOTICE.
