Anniversary of His Marriage.

Anniversary of His Marriage.
Ex-Councilnan Frank will be married to-day

From the number of presents already re-

their ancestors both he and Mrs. Frank have a
very reasonable prospect of living to celebrate
their golden wedding on the 25th of December,

light; but it is mistake that will
damage NJ one as much as the pa

great deal of good in North Carolina,
it walked up the people and put them

per can do, for the people think
for themselves. The people, and
Alliance people as that, have
thought the Vance matter over and
have rendered their verdict, a ver-
dict decided by Alliance votes. That
verdict is, that there is not man
in North Carolina who is better
able or who W i'll defend the peoples
rights and advocate their cause
more jealous and honestly in the

The great tidal wave OF d mocra-
tic success that swept over the coun-
try Tuesday brought more real
rejoicing to the country than any
thing which has occurred since the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks
in 1884. Democratic faces are over
spread with smiles, and who has a
better right to smile, while the re-
publicans, who are frightened clean
out of their boots, go around with
wo-begone faces and make no at
tempt to explain the condemnation
which the voters of the country
have placed upon the administ tra-
tion and upon the republican ma
jority in Congress for its acticn in
giving the people batch of the
most unpopular laws ever turned
out at a single session Of Congress,
topped off with the worst of all, the
Mckinley tariff law, the weight OF
which has been felt by everybody,
although it is only month since
it became law.

The country has repudiated the

the Farmers Alliance holds the
balance OF power and it appears that

states--a condemnation of the iast
