FOR SI'KAKEIt Ol' THE HOUSE.
Hon. Ro(iEti Q Mills is a candidate
for Speaker of the House. He is an
able, earnest, aggressive and irascible
Democrat, and is worthy of all honor
and esteem. We had honnd that hp.
would not be a candidate, but would de
sire to remain a leader on the lloor.
The Ciiu-kicle believes that Mit. By-
num, of Indiana, is the man for Speaker.
We take the liberty of making the fol
lowing extract from a private letter
from Mr. II. E. Fries, of Salem. He
wisely says:
4,I wise you could 'bring about' one
other measure, and that is, that the
Speaker of the next House be chosen
from amoDg the Northern Democrats,
so that the Republicans cannot have
cause in that respect to refer to the
supremacy of the Solid South."

Comments Upon the Situation in Kan
sas, and Attributesthe Change of Sen
timent to the Farmers' Financial
Distress.
(Atlantic Constitution.)
A special dispatch to the Constitu
tion last evening, fromlvansas City, Kan.,
summed up tho situation in that state as
follows:
"Late returns from Kansas indicate
that the people's movement has swept
the state. Willets has, in all probabili
ty, been elected governor, over Robin
son, Democrat, and Humphrey, Repub
licans. There is every indication that
a Republican majority of 82,000 has
been overcome, although Willets' plural
ity will be small.

Chapel HIll, N. C, Nov. 8. The
students cf the University, and the citi
zens of Chapel Hill celebrated the tidal
wave of Democracy by a torchlight pro
cession, bonhres, speaking, and a dis
play of fireworks.
The procession organized at 7:30 last
night in front of tho South building,
and proceeded "to take in the town."
The only halt made was at the residence
of Prof. Geo. T. Winston, who in re
sponse to the spirited call of the students
ana villagers made a snort speech. His
line of thought was: This is no partisan
victory, but the thoughtful action of the
people. They are tired of sectionalism,
monopoly, and high prices. They want
no oligarchy on American soil. As long
as we witness such a triumph as that of

la the statement of the newly elected

made omissions which we asked our
friends to supply.
W. A. Dunn, Esq., of Scotland Neck,
writes:
"Halifax Representatives and Senator
are instructed and pointedly so to vote
for Vance."
Another friend writes:
"So far you have not included Cas
well county, as being for Vance. R L.
Walker was elected to the House by 150
majority, being the first Democrat from
Caswell since lbG5. You can bet on him
as a Vane: man."
We failed inadvertently to state that
Guilford's Representatives, Dr. R. K.
Denny aud Mr. W. M. Wiley, as well as
Senator Kino, were instructed for
Vance.

It begins to look like the Chronicle
predicted: Vance will be elected by ac

The Biggest Figure in Political Life.
(Extract From a Private Letter.)
Is it not glorious to have your confi
dence in popular government strength
ened as it has been strengthened by the
election returns of the week ? I could
scarcely restrain the tears as I read the
news to-day. I felt proud of being a
man, proud of beiug an American ciu
Z3n and proud of being in a country
where the ultimate appeal to the people
is answered with triumphant honesty and
intelligence, The glories of the week
are due largely to the bravery and wis
dom of one man Grover Cleveland.
He is by all odds the largest figure in
our political life to-day.
