The following is from the Phila delphia Ledger; the day after the election: "The first th.nsrthe fac tories will, do this morning will be to take down the orders marked 'Not to be filled if Bryan is elected' and set their men to work." This was one of the meanest methods re sorted to to influence the labor vote against Bryan. But there was no "coercion" in thatV , Oh, no! That's something the dear' souls who had such a high regard for the sacred- nes3 of the ballot never thought of! They would not coerce. a workman for the world, only just remind him that if he didn't vote , their way he would lose his job. ' We observe from the official re turns of Mecklenburg county that the esteemed Generals Palmer and Buckner received 26 votes in the city of Charlotte ard 29 votes in the en tire county. Will our esteemed con temporaries, the Observer, and the News, send out a "tracer" and use dili gent effort to ascertain what became of the other 300 to 400 Mecklenburg Democrats who were supposed to be for the esteemed Generals ? We are ever so anxious to know. Since Bryan was nominated he travelled 18,831 miles, delivered 592 speeches, in 447 towns and cities, in 27 States. This is the summing up of the Philadelphia Times, which pronounces it the most remarkable campaign in the history of this or any other country of the world. It is estimated that his audiences num bered 2,003,000 of people. The Augusta Chronicle appropri ately remarks that the Democratic party cannot be too grateful to Wm. "R. Hearst, editor of the New York Journal. True. Mr. Hearst enjoys the distinction of having published the only Democratic paper in New York and the only paper which stood bv the Deoole in the contest. It is a great paper. Now for business revival," ex claims the New York Herald. All right, let it come right along, and not stand on the order of its coming. We're all ready for it. NBW AS VBTIBMBNT8.

What ever the action cf 'other States has been in the support cf Mr. Bryan, our candi date in this year of 1898, the Democra cy of this State fc as done its duty.

But the people of this State can truly feel and koow that the Demo cratic ticket, composed of the best men in he land, was elected by the honest vote of the Stat?, and that fraudulent reg stra'ion and vot.n? of disqualified negroes has defeated our candidates. On this rotten base stands the Republi can triumph. No tiuer or more honor able man could have been selected than Watson as the leader ot the ticket. H:s iilnfsi in the thick of the fight was a great trial to him and a great loss to the party; and this man, who from his boy hood hai been true to North Carolina nd her people, in war and in peace. as been defeated by wards packed with illegal negro voters in the yaricus cities in this State, worked by Corrupt election machinery. The re turns fully show this, and further show that in every white county, with rare exceptions. Democracy made its splen did gains which brought the head of this ticket so near to victory." ' Major Grant is the only Republican who does not concede Bryan's victory in the State. He thinks McKinley will get two, or more electors on account of scratching. He says an official count will be necessary. All indications point to a majority of 15,000 in the State for Bryan. All the headquarters are practically closed;.! Holton and Grant left to day.

I Logue Harris figures the representa tion of the three parties in the Legisla ture this way: Democrats, fi'ty; Popu lists, fifty five, and Republicans, sixty five.
