With this issue of the News the Republican Executive Committee ceases to write for its columns. We have fonght a great political battle, and won a great victory. From Maine to California, and from the Gulf to the Attantic we swept the deck. In the nation there is little left of Democracy outside of the Bo nth ;her" condition is pitiable,' her hopes shattered, Her leaders crashed and humiliated. In the State her star is fast fading with the handwriting on the wall. In our Congressional districts our victory is astonishing to as as it was unexpected to the Democrats! Cowles, Morehead and Grant, who would have thought it! These be splendid representatives of the greatest political party on earth. Good to the State will undoubtedly come from their services. The 34th Senatorial district has been redeemed, and will be represented by two stalwart Republicans in the State Senate. Good, good, good. As to Caldwell County she cov ered herself with unfading glory, grand, superb, complete. Dem ocracy is possession of the election machinery with the great advan tage it gives them, with a dozen local speakers, and flooded with Senators, Governors, and all sorts and kinds of orators and speakers day and night, with parades, flags, bands and banners she went down in defeated, routed and demoraliz ed by the Republican party. To use common slang, "There is not a greasy spot left" of Democracy in the County. But the "unkindest cut of all" was the attempt to throw out some of the precincts on a slight pretense of fraud, and every one of them mauaged and controled by Democratic officials What an accusation against your own party officials. But the at tempt fell of its own weight. What party can live that resorts to such tactics? A few more such didoes and your name will be a synouym for fraud and duplicity. What leadership, what management, what stupidity. Poor old party like a ship at sea without compass or rudder, any party that attempts to deprive free men of their ballots deserves and will receive humiliat ing defeat. Let us forbear lest our criticisms grate upon the senitive ear of some poor mortal who is still in the wilderness of Demo cracy, blindfolded and shipwreck ed by defeat. The following is the official vote in Caldwell County, and shows an average Republican majority of about 200, which verifies our fore cast of the election some ten days ago: PREHIDENT: Taft Bryan Taft's majority GOVERNOR: Cox Kitchin Cox's majority CONURKW: Cowles Hackett Cowles' majority KKN'ATK: J.

Jarvis 1402 Republican majority 200 Rep. Ex. Com. Why it Happened As it Did. Every Democrat and every Re publican as well, of course has a theory as to why the election of Tuesday resulted so crushingly to Mr. Bryan. There is no unanimi ty of agrement and one man's opinion is as good as auotherte. Our own is clear cut and fixed and we should like to be acquitted of any purpose to be unkind in ex pressiou of it. Mr. Bryan has been a caudidate for President for more thau twelve years from the time of his first nomination in the summer of 1886 uutil sunset Tuesday of this week. We have rememberance in saying this of the ill fated candidacy of Judge Parker in 1904, but duriug the period between 1900 and 1904 Mr. Bryan's candidacy only abat ed it did not cease. He has therefore been before the people oontiuuously for a long time and has kept himself at the very front of the stage, fairly dividing at ten tion for the first four years of the twelve with Mr. McKinley and for the last eight with Mr. Roosevelt, the three having been, undoubted ly, during the twelve years the three most conspicuous American citizens. In this time Mr. Bryan has said much and written much and from time to time has attached himself to or originated a number of propositions which the people have shown that they regard as hateful, impracticable or danger ous, as for instance; the free coin age of silver; the government own ershipof railroads; the initiative and referendum; instant with drawal from the Philippines, leav ing those people to their fate; the election of United States Senators aud United States judges by popu lar vote; the control of child labor by Federal laws, and things not necessary to enumerate. In view of these politics and in fear of what others he might pro ject, the people have come to re gard him as a theorist, a dreamer, an idealist, and have distrusted him. He is not considered a prac man or one to whom the chief executive office of the nation could he safely committed. This impres sion has grown upon them, so that at each appearance before them ns ;i ca;nlilate ho has lecn rejected more decisively than at the List. Perhaps nobody questions the in tegrity of his purpose or lack in personal respect for him. The body of the people are afraid of him and that is all. He has ac cepted so many strange doctrines, argued them with surpassing elo quence and abandoned them under the fore of the logic of events or ,,hen he realized that they did not "take," that confidence in his judgment is lacking and there was the apprehension that if he were President he might embrace any new fad, put it into execution and Work much injury to the country. Thoughtful people have not over looked the fact, either, that five a majority of the Justices of the Supreme Courtof the United States are above seventy years of age and eligible for retirement, and that in all human probability this court will be re-organized duriug the next presidental term, by reason of the death or retirement of a major ity of its members. Such persons have euquired of themselves, what type of lawyers Mr. Bryan would appoint to these vacancies and found themselues unabie to trust him with this great power and responsibility. The above are the causes, one operating with another, that, in our judgement, brought about the undoing of Mr. Bryan Tuesday. He it was, not the Democratic party that was defeated; but un happily, in pulling down the pillars of the temple he pulled down the structure on a great many other men candidates for Governor and Congress in States and on down through the counties to the end of the list. It is as true in politics as in other relations of life that no man liveth to himself Charlotte Observer. CIVIL WAR INCIDENTS. As Told from Memory by an Old Veteran. While in this camp we fared pretty well. Some of the boys did some good foraging and we had chicken, ete. A nice porker stray ed into camp one day and was butchered. I went out into the country one day alout three miles and got some honey for a sick man, S. F. Harper, our me&ss mate. John S. Ifaigler was a good forager up the valley to near Berryville. : HARDWARE AND FURNrrUEE Buy your Hardware and Furniture from I RHSpainhour&Co. !

WATSON, I South Main Strret. :: :: I recollect being sent to a Dr. Ma guires house to guard it, and I have often thought that this was perhaps the father of Dr. Hunter Maguire, of the Richmond Hospital. We rested here for some time before we proceeded up the valley on our way to Fredricksbnrg, as the Federals were changing their bass of operations and we had to change ours also, we marched up the valley by Strausburg, Mt. Jackson and crossed the Blue Ridge at Minnums gap over into Madison county, and on to Fredricksbnrg. The macadam road .wore our shoes out aud the last few days of the march a great many were barefoot ed. W. A. Tuttle and myself were both barefooted and had lib erty to march out of the ranks. It was frosty, cold mornings and it snowed after we got into camp uear Fredricksburg. They made moc casins for the men out of the green beef hides. I got a pair of good shoes but a great many wore the moccasins. We rested a few days and the word came Burnsides was crossing the river. We hurried to Fredricksburg and got into line about two miles below the city and waited for the coming events. Heavy fighting was going on at Fredricksburg and down on our right. The 16th regiment of our brigade was down ou the advance line along the rail road. In the eveuing two companies of our reg iment were ordered to join them and our company had to go. By the time we reached the railroad the fighting was on in earnest along the whole line it seemed to me. The Federals charged the railroad and forced our men out. Some went back to the woods several hundred yards off and some fell back just a few yards to a branch and used it for a breast work. Some lay down as dead men in the railroad cut and the Federals stand ing over them and shooting those in the branch; and in this extremi ty when all seemed to be lost a new brigade of Confederates came to our relief, charging them and driving them back a considerable distance toward the river; but they returned to the charge with a new line and we got back to the railroad cut and this closed the day for us. On this last charge John Coleman was shot down, Sidney Dula had been wounded in the foot, a bad wound, Alfred Lingle lost his arm, Wil lirm F. fetes was wounded and died of his wonnd, and Green Xel son was killed. In this battle I had used up all my cartridges. It was the first and only time this happened to me. Schrfhozn Shoes MEN :: Lenoir.
