cratic Tenets--A Prominent Man
Says Delaware VIII Go Democratic.

Mr.: ID. NJ. Stovall. n member of the
North Carolina Legislature came up
from his farm on the banks of the
Neuse Friday. He stopped In Nor
mond to attend the Bryan demonstra-
tion. and while here found time to give
Virsln1an man some interesting points
as TO Democratic sentiment i'm his State
our people, he said. ARE most en-
thnsiastic. They are all quite as conf
dent of Mr.. Bryan's election as Mark
Hanna seems to be of McKinley's sue
cess.
The Republicans may dump a good
deal OF compaign cash in our State, but
tWili all go to their own black and tan
tribe. and will merely serve to increase
the gin-made hilarity in their own
ranks. The people Of North Carolina
cannot be purchased. Our cities as well
ms our towns and rural districts, are
democratic. There is no clash between
Guy opinions and those of the country
why. Sir. only yesterday did L not
see people crowd around Il railway sta
lion. merely to get Il glimpse of Pull
man car in which slept the next Presi-
dent of the American Republic? There's
enthusiasm for YOU"
Mr. Charles w. McFec. who is one
or the most prominent and progressive
citiZens of the State of Delaware. is con-
fidcnt of the fact that the Democra tic
party Will sweep that land of peaches
::om border to border He said yes
terdav:
"Delaware's three electoral votes
don't count for much. except in case of
very close vote, you know. but she'll
give them to Bryan. The Democrats,
too have nominated first class State
ticket. which is extremely popular The
Republicans are hopelessly split The
Addicks faction has. it is true, put out
ticket and so has the Higgins wing
These two tickets embrace every office
to be voted for. and the united Demo-
cracv viii capture them all. including
the Legislature. in which event another
Democrat will be seated in the United
States Senate"
Mr. James W. Burnett. of New York,
an exporter who doss considerable
dav. Said he:
THE recent visit of Il Hung Chang
to this country was fraught with great
meaning. The old man has lived long
enough to at least realize that the evolu-
tien of a tremendous civilization which.
although ii has been shut out Of China.
has gone forward outside the domain of
the Son of Heaven with great strides,
will one day engulf the Monaghan En-
pire. unless 1t arouses itself from its
lethargy and makes some effort to catch
uD with the procession.
Had it not been for the Japanese
Chinese war. or had the Chinese been
victorious in that struggle, the nation
never would have awakened probably.
That opened their eyes and as Ii is the
most progressive man in the Empire.
he determined to start the bail of pro-
gresS in motion. in his boy Emperor
he found an ally for his plans Of re-
organization. and as result of his
world-tour China may shortly astonish
the nations"
