II MONG the weIl-known people who ar

liam K. Cox OF North Carolina clerk
OF the Senate, who Is registered at the
Riggs House.
Nr. Cox, not witlIstandinC the fact that he
chung to his Democratic arfiliation in this
last election and worked hard Tor the sue
cess of the candidate, takes the result very
philusophicaliy. So. too, lie says, do the
body OF North CarOlinians.
They realize down there. he sa vs. that
prosperity was bound to follow the set
tlement of the issue, no matter who was
elected.
The only difference, in their opinion. be
tween the two was that revival following
Republican victory would be specdier while
that attendant upon Democratic success
would be more permanent.
The only other need felt in his State j.
for an initiation of the currency, and he he
licves that this Will perhaps be better
achieved under Mckinley than it could
have been under Bryan.
For had Bryan been elected. with an op-
position Congress, he would have been
bound hand and foot, and been unable to
accomplish anything.
on the other hand, MCkinley's first
Congress will be of his own political faith.
Now If the ma jor. who, according 10 Mr.
Cox is himself a believer in the necessity
OF a more abundant currency, makes his de-
sire to accomplish that end known to Con
gress that body will in all prObabiht V accede
to his request and pass a bill for the pur-
pose. So, concluded Mr. Cox, We of North
Carolina are not so dOwnCaSt as we might
be, and are preparing TO take advantag OF
the business boom which we see coming up.
