He said: "What we need to put us on-the way to the prosperity we enjoyed for 10 years is a restoration ' of confi dence, and you will never bring that about if -you put into the executive chair a man who has so many half backed, unfounded, economic theories as the leader of the democracy." Mr. Sherman made eight speeches. one of thorn on prosperity, in a mill that had been vacated because of hard times. Mr. Bryan, at Wilmington, Del., in 'Philadelphia, and ut .ninny" places in Now Jersey, referred sarcastically to President Roosevelt, substituting Sen ator Knox for Mr. Gompers as the leader of organized' labor and sug gested Mr. Roosevelt might under take to substitute son-in-law Long worth for himself as the leader of the democratic party. Asking the name of one town in New Jersey at which his train stopped, he was told it was Whltehouse. "At last," he exclaimed, "X have arrived there; it is a happy ending to a long journey." lie has not yet decided in what way ho will reply to the president again "butting Into" the campaign, as he railed it.

An event of more than ordinary interest and of deep significance was celebrated ln Raleigh today the un veiling and dedication of the tablet in memory of the fifty-one signers of the Edenton tea party. The tablet was erected by the North Carolina Society of the Daughters of the Revolution. The dedication exercises were held in the house of representatives this morning at 11:30 o'clock. The house and galleries were fill ed with interested spectators. Music was furnished by the band from' the State School for the Blind and by the High School chorus, who sang "Carolina" and "America." Prayer was offered by Rev. Robert Brent Drane, D. D., rector of St. Paul's church, Edenton, North Caro lina, tofter which Mrs. E. E. Moffitt, regent of the North Carolina Society of the Daughters of the Revolution, : in an interesting address presented the tablet to the state of North Caro lina, -: '" - .'.. - Mrs. Moffitt spoke at some length of the work of the Daughters of the Revolution, giving an account of their organization ' and " work." She spoke of this event, that took place 184 jears ago, that was being com- memorted today, and of the signi ficance of it in the history of our commonwealth. The tablet was accepted in the name of the people of North Caro lina by Hon. Francis D. Winston, lieutenant-Governor of North Caro Una, in the absence of Governor Governor Glenn. Governor Winston felt that in the placing of this tablet upon the walls of the capitol of our state a way was being opened for the stimulat ing of state pride. Vy.i "In the historic town of Edenton there is scarcely a spot upon which the eye may fall that is not rich ln historic interest. "The deeds of these makers of history must not pass away, their memory must not die out. "There are so many historic spots in our grand old state that 1,000 monuments would not be enough to mark the spots. People will come to know who we are, what we are and why we are. Our people have been careless of their history and fame, Wre have not impressed the fact of the first landing upon North Carolina soil. This landing as no less significant than the landing at Jamestown, which was celebrated last year by the Jamestown exposition. Other attempts had been made but in Raleigh's colony was the spirit of the home that would make a colony life. He transplanted the English home, a new civilization depended upon it. His ships were filled with women as well as men. From this colony came Virginia Dare, the first white child born of English parents upon the soil of America. Governor Winston urged upon the society the placing of a tablet to her memormy. He urged the beginning of a movement to give her birth its proper place in the history of ouf country. The state is proud to have the society place upon the wall of the state, house a tablet commemora tive of so momentous an event." Mrs. Patrick Matthew, Regent j Penelope Chapter, D.
