Lixcolx, Xer., Nov. 5. Wm.J. Bryan to-day gave the following statement to the public: "No cause ever had supporters more brave, earnest and devoted than those who have espoused the cause of bimetallism. They have fought from conviction and have fought with all the zeal which conviction in spires. Events will prove whether they are right or wrong. Having done their duty as they saw it, they have nothing to regret. The Republican candidate has been her alded as the advance of prosperity. If his policy brings real prosperity) the Ameri can people, those who opposed him will share in that prosperity. If, on the other hand, his policies prove an injury to the people generally, those of his supporteis who do not belong to the office-holding class, or to the privileged classes, will suf fer in common with those who oppose"! him. The friends of bi-melallism have not been vanquished; they have simply been overcome. They believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy of the money changers against the welfare of the human race, and until convinced of their error, thev will continue the warfare against it. "The Contest has been waged this year tinder great embarrassments and against great odds. The money question has been the paramount issue. The Republican convention held out the delusive hoe of international bi-metallim, while the Re publican leaders labored secretly for gold mono-inetallism. Gold standard Demo crats have publicly advocated the election of the Indianapolis ticket, while they labor ed secretly for the election of the Republi can ticket. The trusts and corporations have tried to excite a fear of lawlessness, while they themselves have bten defying the- law, and American financiers have boasted that they were the custodians of "national honor, while they were secretly bartering away the nation's financial in dependence. But in spite of the efforts of the administration and its supporters, in spite of the threats of the money-loaners at home and abroad, in spite of the coercions practiced by corporations, and in spite ef tiie influence of a hostile daily press, bi metallism has almost triumphed in its first great light. The loss of a few States, and that, too, by a very small plurality, has de feated bi-metallism for tiie present, but bi metallism emerges from the contest strong er than it was four months ago. "I desire to commend the work of' the three national committees which have join ed in the management of .this campaign. Co-operation between the members of dis tinct political organizations is alwas diffi cult, but it has been less so this year than usual. Interest in a common cause of great importance lias reduced friction to a mini mum. I hereby express my personal grat itude to the individual members, as well us the executive officers of the national com mittee of the Democratic, Populist and Silver pari ies, for their efficient, untiring and unselfish lalnus. They have laid the foundation of future success, and will be remembered as pioneers when victory is at last secured. "Xo personal or political friend need grieve because of my defeat. My ambition has been to secure immediate legislation rather than to enjoy the honors of ofiice. and, therefore, defeat brings me no feeling of personal loss. Speaking for the wife who has shared my labors, as well as for myself, I desire to say that we have bei amply repaid for all that we have done. In the love of millions of our fellow-citizens, so kindly expressed, we find full compensa tion for whatever efforts we have put forth. Our hearts have been touched by the devo tion of friends, and our lives shall prove our appreciation of the affection of the plain people, an atrection wiucii we prize as trie 1 richest reward which this campaign has brought. "In the face of an enemy rejoicing in its victory let the roll tie called for the next engagement anl urge all friends of bi-metallism to renew their allegiance to the cause. If we are right, and 1 believe we are, we shall yet triumph. Until convinced of their error let all advocates of bi-metallism con tinue the work. Let all silver clubs retain organization, hold regular meetings and circulate literature. Our opponents have succeeded in this campaign and must now put their theories to the test. Instead of talking mysteriously about 'sound money' and ah 'honest dollar,' they must now ad vocate aud defend a financial system. Every step taken by them should be pub licly considered by the silver clubs. "Our cause has prospered most where the money question has been longest discussed among the people. During the next four years it will be studied all over this nation even more than it has been studied iu the past. "The year 1800 is not far away. Belore that year arrives international bi-metalisin will cease to deceive; before that year ar rives those who have called themselves gold standard Democrats will become bi metallists and be with us or they will be come Republicans and be open enemies; before that year arrives, trusts will have convinced still more people that the trust is a menace to private welfare and to public safety; before that year arrives the evil effects of a gold standard will be eveu more evident than they are now and the people then ready to demand an American tinan cial policy for the American people will join with us in th immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal rato of lli to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any olher nation.

It is proper that in this moment of appa rent defeat for the Democracy those who have joined with that party in pressing certain issues should consider whether the adverse verdict of the people is conclusive. On the face of the returns, at this writing, Mr. Bryan has carried twenty-three States, with 130 electoral votes. -Major McKinley seems to have won in twent3'-one States, which give 257 electoral votes. There "is reason to doubt the accuracy of the returns in some of the McKinley States, but litlle reason to believe that the apparent result will be changed. In all probability Mr. McKinley has been elected. Asa result of this victory, the republican newspapers, and those worse than Repub lican newspapers which supported the rai nier and Buckner ticket, have already set up the cry that, the Democratic party is demolished, that it declaration for free sil ver and for the liberties of the individual has wrecked it. Those recreant Democrats who followed the two cheap soldiers of for tune, Palmer and Buckner, are talking about "reorganizing" the party 111 accord ance with their "views and for their own profit. Their argument is easy. Democ racy is defeated this year, they say, there fore Democracy must adopt a new creed; must adopt, in short, the creed of the party which won. Now the fact is that the results of this election should encourage, not depress, the man who believes in the doctrines set forth in the Chicago platform. Our defeat has the qualities of a victory. Let us consider the facts dispassionately. Let us analyze causes and results without partisanship. Major McKinley seems to be elected, and nothing said or written now will interfere with his accession to what CI rover Cleveland has made a throne. Accept the returns of last night as cor rect though there is grave doubt of their correctness Mr. Bryan gets 1ST electoral against McKkiiey's 257. But in 'S'.rj Cleve land got 277 electoral votes to Harrison's 145. Cleveland beat Harrison by 132 elec toral votes, but nobodyl bought the Repub lican party was dead and, unhappily, it seems very much alive to-day. McKinley may have beaten Bryan by 70 electoial votes though probably the figures will be reduced. Does that mean the death ofthe "New Democracy?" Is it a "landslide?" Is it the end of the effort in behalf of the common people, fur which Bryan, above all others, stands? CIo back further. In 1S83 Benjamin Har rison was ele4ed President of the United Slates. I11 the Electoral College his ma jority was 03 or within one or two votes of Major McKinley's apparent majority this year. But ia two years the people repu diated Harrison by electing a Congress hos tile to him, and in four years they tiyncd him and his party out of office. Out of the n.c nxl of the past the people may draw encouragement for the present. Mr. Bryan's defeat is not defeat for his principles, perhaps not even permanent de feat for himself. lie and his party accept ed the situation in June last which seemed absolutely to compel defeat. Democracy has been discedited, demoralized, assassi nated by Grover Cleveland. To put a tick it in the field seemed ridiculous. But with (IOV. AITJI.l TO BKJIO-CK.VTS.

Altgela gave out to-day a statement addressed to the Demo crats of Illinois, in which he says: Although defeated, I desire to thank you for the loyal support you have given me, and I congratulate you on 1 e heroic fight you have just made. Consider that only six months ago our great party lay pros trate; it had been betrayed into the hands of stock jobbers and monopolies by Presi dent Cleveland; it had been robbed of everything Democratic except the name; it stood for no great principle; it was loaded with political deadheads, yet i? cut loose from the domination of trusts and syndi cates; it repudiated the men who betrayed it, again proclaimed Democratic principles and espoused thecause of toiling humanitr. 4t was confronted by evenThing that money could buy, that boodle could de bauch, or that fear of starvation could coerce. "It was confronted by a combination of forces such as had never been united be fore, and could probably never be united again, and worse still, the time was too short to educate the public. While we are defeated, our party is more vigorous and in lietter condition generallytban it has been for a third of a century. We have dug the grave of the British gold standard. One more campaign of education will forever burj- the pained form of that curse, which nas blighted pnperit.and the happiness of mankind. We may assume that the coming administration will be controlled by the men who have been so prominent in securing this election. "I believe that at the- next general, elec tion the people will reverse the verdict of yesterday. The return of prosperity will not come as promised. It was the great common people of America, and not the rich, who saved our institutions in 1S5I, and it will devolve on the great common people of this cjautry to save free govern ment in moo."

The most bru tal murder ever committed in Gaston county occurred about 3 o'clock to-day on Mr. Dock Hoover's place, three miles from here. Three negroes were cutting cord wood for Mr. Hoover. Two of them, James Alexander and d. Pegram commenced quarrelling alxmt who should go for a jug of water. They were standing facing each other with their axes on their shoul ders, when all at once Alexander gave his axe a mighty tunge and cut Pfgram's head off his body. The head fell one way and the body the other, lie struck the body one lick and the head two licks after they fell to the ground. Alexander walked up to Mr. Hoover's house and told him what he had done and had him to go and see Pegram and ex plained how he did it, and- asked Mr Hoover to bring him to town, which was done. Your correspondent saw Alexan der as he came in town 011 a mule, carrying his bloody axe on his shoulder.

Tiiis is the first campaign in XoQh Caro lina where a vast amount of money was expended by either of the political parties. Heretofore neither of the parties, so far as .yve have known, have been the distributors of boodle sent from outside sources to bribe voters, elect officers aud committees, and even to pay the voters of its own party This year, up to the day that the Republi can committee put the chairman ot tne Populists State Executive committee on its ticket for State Auditor, forty thousand dollars had been sent by the National com mittee to the State committee to be used here. On the clay after that, the Republi can State chairman packed his grip-sack and went North aud got another big pile which he "put into circulation." How much this was, we have not yet ascertain ed. But about the same time a Republican agent, acting for the National committee, came into the State and made a deal with certain parties to whom he paid the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. As a result of that deal, this agent reported to Repub lican headquarters that he had, with the money placed at his disposal made certain the electoral vote of North Carolina for McKinley. It is also known that a certain prominent Republican informed the Re publican National committee that SicKin Iey could not carry North Carolina unless they could procure the assistance of influ ential Populists. This was secured. Other large amounts, the whole aggre gating not less than $100,000, was spent to buy the vote of North Carolina for McKin ley aud gold. And yet, with all the bribery witnessed on every hand, and the whole sale purchase of big officials as well as lit tle leaders, the people of North Carolina could not be hi light to vote against Bryan The highest tribute that could have been paid a man was paid to Mr. Bryan when he carried the State, in the face of division, tralncing, and corruption. lie does not owe it to the political managers, but to the abounding faith of the people in his devo tion to their interests. If there had been wanting this earnest enthusiastic support the money spent in North Carolina would have lost him the State.

Often municipal ordinances conflict tsnd then there is a jubilee, indeed. This is especially the case in the liquor j laws. Kansas, as every one knows, is a prohibition State, while'Missouri allows the sale of intoxicants. So while on one side of the main street there are no restaurats ,to be seen, on the other the saloons are in full blast. The Kansas policemen will arrest a drunken mau on sight, but those receiving their badges from Missouri are more lenient with gen tlemen of a bibulous turn. So when a man who has been out sampling liquors goes up the street on both sides, if he spies' a Kansas policeman while he is on that side promptly veers to the Missouri side, where he can hurl his defisnce at the power less copper. Aud as likely as not there is a policeman on his side of the street calmly looking on and enjoying the fun. Dr. Baum thinks that this difference of the liquor law may account for the greater number of inhabitants on the Missouri side of the town. a cruise, a magnificent steamship from the navy is pi iced at his disposal. There are many other things that cost him nothing, such as the culinary arrange ments, his steward, who does the market ing, the many fancy delicacies sent him by enterprising firms. This, by the way, is a sort of nuisance, for it seems to be the de sire of every manufacturer of some new eatable -or drinkable to get into the While House.

Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post thein concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of mis item. The origin of croup is a i'oninion eold. Children who are subject to it take ciiid very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The lirsl symptom is hoarseness: this soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one w ho has heard it. The lime to act is w hen tbe child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Coujh Itemed y is freely gieu all tendency to crop will soon disappear.

This is a big quantity of gold. It would make between fifteen and twenty wagon loads, at a ten a load. It would melt up into four culjt'S, each two feet in v. idih, depth and height.
