The North Carolina Sun, (colored) now published at Greensboro, has an article 011 "Cumberland County Politics," which concludes with this assertion : "With thorough organization Cumberland coun ty is sure for McKinley, protection and sound money." Mr. C. C. McClelland, chairman of the Populist executive committee, and other Populists say- that that is not so that Cumberland vote will be for Bryan. From which it, is inferred that Cumberland Pop ulists at least are for electoral fusion, if they can get it: Off for Salisbury.

The local l;quor dealers are preparing a Droerrammeof entertainment tor the stran gers, which includes a trip down the River The Observer an a Political Diviner. As soon as last Thursday's New York gold-bug papers reached the Observer Fri day morning, containing the assertion that Bryan's speech of acceptance was a failure because he read it instead of giving an illustration of the fiery ex-tempore elo quence with which he captured the Chi cago convention, we took issue with the "metropolitan" perverters in an article which appeared in that afternoon's Ob server, and from which the tollowing is an extract: "Mr. Bryan disappointed some of his auditors in not giving them an illustration of his wonderful oratorical powers in an extempore speech. But he especially dis appointed his enemies, who were lying in wait for the unguarded word that he might let slip in a flight of oratory, p.nd who had evidently made all their preparations for picturing him as a wild and red mouthed anarchist. Instead of gratifying these public enemies, the Democratic nominee did precisely what he should have done on such an occasion: He had caretully writ ten out every word he had to say, and, with exception of the superb peroration which he had committed to memory, he read his text with almost equal care. The result is that he has presented to the thir teen millions of voters who are to render a verdict for or against his cause in Novem ber, a campaign document covering all the important issues involved and that is literally unanswerable." Friday's World, received the next morn ing, brought Mr. Bryan's own statement of his reason for reading his speech, which confirms in an almost literal way the Ob server's prognostics, as follows: (From Fridays N. Y. World.) William J. Bryan explained last night his reasons for reading his speech Wed nesday night at the Madison Square Gar den. "Knowing that it would be printed in full," he said, "I thought it more im portant that it should reach in correct form the millions who will read it than that the delivery should please the few thousands who were present. It is always unfortu nate when a speaker is compelled to read a political speech, but in this instance I thought it best not to risk the errors which always creep into the report of an extem poraneous speech." People and Their Movements. Mr. Jno. McArtan, of Manchester, was in town this morning. Mr. J. N. Creel is sick with fever at his home on Rowan street. Mrs. J. F.

Smith and her daughters, Misses Florence and Janie Smith, left this morning for Mt. Vernon Springs to spend several weeks. Rev. J. 0.
