BRYAN AND SEWALL.

The Democratic convention at Chr
cago, has done we'll in putting forth
such ticket, no matter what may be
said against 1t.
Bryan is a young man-Just old
enough to serve as President-gilted
as few men of his age are with rare
and unequalled eloquence. He is
above all bold, true, and honest i'll his
convictions and aspirations which are
all in full accord with the views and
wishes of the people of this country.
The masses are with him and their
confidence in their leader will give
them renewed strength and fresh i'm
petus in this great struggle for finan
cial freedom.
The Vice Presidential nominee is
Hon. Arthur Sewall, Of Maine. He
is a member of the National Demo-
cratic Committee and has been 4 lie
long Democrat. He is an ardent free
silver man, although living in the ex-
IRENE Northeast He is plain bust
ness man but one Of the most sue
Cessful in his State. He is a ship
builder and owner and engaged in
many of the largest and most success
full enterprises Of his State.
In conversation with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, he ex-
pressed the belief that the ticket would
be great deal stronger throughout
New England and the Eastern States,
than the Western friends of silver re-
alze at present.

TRUE.

We ask our readers and especially
the free silver men of all parties to
read those eloquent words Of Hon.
William J. Bryan in the Chicago Con-
vention, replying to the strong and
able speech of Senator David B. Hill,
and tell US if he is not worthy of their
support in the coming campaign. If a
man is for free silver from principle and
not for Office for himself or friend, can
he refuse to vote for Bryan for Pres-
dent?
Mr.. Bryan in speaking for the free
silver platform and its adoption
said this was not question that per-
mitted descent into personalities.
There had been a great contest
never before had SO great an issue
been fought out. He referred to the
growth of the free-silver issue in the
Democratic ranks, and told of the
zeal that had been injected into the
party contest. The silver men had
gone forth to victory after victory,
and were assembled now, not to con-
denim, not to protest, but to enter up
a judgment ordered by the people. AS
individuals, he said, the people he
represented might have been willing
to compliment the gentleman from
New York (Mr. HID, but they were
unwilling to put him in a position
where he could thwart the will of the
Democratic party. lCheers.) He
claimed for his people that they were
the equals of the people of Massachu-
sets. When the people of Massachu-
sets came to the people of Nebraska
and said, "You have disturbed our
business" the people of Nebraska re-
piled to the people of Massachusetts,
"You have disturbed our business"
awe say he continued, "you
have made too limited an application
of the definition of the word business.
The man employed for wages is as
much a business man as his employer.
(Applause.) The farmer who goes
out to toll in the morning is as much a
business man as the man who soes on
the Board of Trade to gamble in
stock. (Cheers.( The miner is as
much business man as the few fnan-
clal magnates who, in a back room,
corner the money of the world"
('Great cheering.D
Mr.. Bryan said those he represent
ed were tired of submitting to the bur-
dens which oppressed them. awe

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

In reviewing the action of the
Chicago convention, all must be salts
fed that the people have trumphed.
The masses have made a strong and
determined fight for free silver and
have won the fight with a platform
| clear and Cutspoken in its terms for
free silver and the rights of the people.
There is no straddling this time and
no room for future misconstruction
of its meaning. The fight was equally
as effective and the victory as decisive
in the nomination Of Hon. William !.
Bryan Cor President. He is a young
man, but man of the people, bold
fearless and able in the fight for what
he thinks is right, and he thinks
with the people and they know
and feel 1t. 1t is their fight and
as he leads it, from one end of
this great land to the other, the people
who feel the depression of the times
and are bearing the burdens of mis-
government, will rally to his standard.
1t may be of interest to our readers
to hear what the Washington Post one
of the ablest of our great dailies but
independent in politics with Repub-
lean leaning, has to say of Mr.. Bryan
and his nomination in an editorial on
the nth.
On Thursday afternoon, a, time
when Bland seemed to be the leader
in the race, when Boies was laborous
second and when Mclean, brainest
and most conservative of them all, was
the enacting role of the dark and dan
gerous horse, this young man Bryan
suddenly appeared, tall, shapely, hand
some as Greek demigod, classic of
outline, imprisoned Of address, thrill
ing with his tremendous message to
the people appeared like a fairy upon
a dull and lifeless stage, and in one
moment threw 20, ooo human beings
into a fever eff indescrlbable exalta,ion.
He called back from the vanished
past the witchery OfOipheus, the mage
of Demosthenes, the irresistible forces
of the great Napoleon. He stood
there, and with a dozen fiery phrases
he converted thoughtful men into IA
natics; he changed them as utterly as
the wizard changes the toys he plays
with on the stage. In all the annals
OF politics there was never such a
scene.

BUCK Ell SHOPS.

That pecuIIaTl y VICIOUS and demon
allzlng form OF gambling, represented
by the "Bucket Shop, is held IN de-
testatIon by thoughtful people every
where. 1t seems not to be generally
understood that the law at this point
IS clear and strong. In answer TO
many inquiries we are glad TO say that
such gambling cannot be maintained
IN any community IN North Carolina
which has the moral sentiment and
courage to repress il. Various towns
IN he State have eltcCtually enforced
the law and driven out The "BuCket

Some time ago we announced that
the Niche Tobacco Company, of
GoI1sboro, (Which enterprise Mr.
George S. Prichard, late of Henderson,
is the head of had offered series of
prizes for the best poems singing the
praises and extoling the merits Of
their leading brand of smoking tobacco.
Prchard's Pride. OF those submitted
the following were adiudged the best,
being awarded lst aud 2nd prize re-
spectively. First prize was won by
Z. II. James, Of Goldsboro, his effort
being as follows:
Every morning when | awake
My morning smoke l have to take;
/ get my pipe and en- joy it so,
Because it's "Prichard's Pride you know.
Pride is made of stock that's bright
For North Carolina stock is hard to beat:
"Pride" stock is picked and stemmed and
cleaned
AS every lover OF Pride has seen.
"Prichard's Pride" comes in pretty blue
bags,
And every smoker knows its tags.
The smoke is cool and pleasant to the
tongue,
And that is why pride" has the run
"Prichard's Pride" is put up clean and
neat,
Every one says it can't be beat,
The flavor is fine and its praises won,
Because it does not bite the tongue.
With each and every bag of "Prchard's
PRIDE"
Cigarette papers and premium lists go by
Smoke pride" and save the labels we
advise,
And get the premiums they advertise.
The second pixie was awarded to a
Vance county young lady, who did not
give her name. Her production was
signed, ITO Hav Anna, Middleburg,

follows:

THE Democrats of the Metropolitan
DIstriC, of North Carolina are TO be
sincerely congratulated for having
chosen such splendid leader in this
battle for The rights Of the people
and for free silver as Hon. t..
w. Pou, of Johnston. Bonn and
raised in an agricultural section, he
feels with tn" masses and knows their
burdens and trials. Being one Of
them he naturally thinks as they do
and sympathizes with them IN their
struggle for financial freedom. A
young man of fin. ability and charac-
ter, he will conduct campaign of
uncxcelled energy and br:lliancy, and
we predict that the people Of all par
ties, who come out to hear him, will,
when they see Ed. Pou's open and
candid face and hear his eloquent
words, find ia him the man whom they
are willing to trust as their representa-
tive in the next Congress.

Of the fight they viii receive enough ad-
ditional votes TO give them a. majority.
They appreciate the fact that the west and
the south generally, are bitterly hostile 10
the eastern metropolis, but they believe
that this hostility will disappear in part
when they have made a demonstration. OF
their strength Their ranks We're rein
forced tonight by the arrival of the MEM
bers of the citizens committee, which IS
a nOn-partisan body, headed by IsadOr
Strauss, who reached the Arlington at
O'Clock.
A delegation from Tammany Hall ar
rived simultaneously and are quartered at
the Shoreham.
day, and some of their representatives
have met personally every member Of the
committee in the city. They do not re-
gard New York as a serious competitor,
believeing that the support of the city will
speedily disintegrate after few ballots.
They believe that there only real COM
petitOr is Chicago, and they make no
secret of their apprehension in this par
ucular. Their principal advantage, aside
from material advantages of their city,
IS the effect upon the free silver men OF
locating the convention i'm Missouri.
Whatever platform is adopted, especially
If It be unfriendly to silver, will be ac-
cepted, they say, by the advocates OF the
white metal, provided the convention be
held in Missouri, while it would be repu-
dated by the same element If made in
New York, under the belief that II was IN
splred by Wall street influence.
At a late hour tonight there is some
CONSERVATION in the ranks of the st.
Louisans over the report that Senators
German and Brice and Chairman Harrity
are working against them. At the hour
at which this dispatch is written I'll
o'clock some of the Missourians are dis
couraged at the outlook and disposed to
believe that the fight is lost. The majority
OF the delegation, however, are full OF
pluck, and the reported opposition of Sem
ator German merely inspires them to re-
newed efforts.
A delegation of seven citizens of Chi
caSo namely. Ersl1inc N. Phelps, A. A.
Goodrich, Albert T. Gage, NJ. J. Russell
Joseph Donnersberger, Ruben Spangler
and NJ. NJ. Inrony, arrived at o'clock
and proceeded at once to the parlors re-
served for them at the Arlington. EX-
cepting Mr.. Rosenthal, who arrived sew
eral days ago, they are the first repre-
sentatives of Chicago to put in an ap-
pearance. When asked why their coming
was so long delayed, one Of the number
replied that they had no intention of log
rolling or button-holing members and that
consequently it was unnecessary to arrive
sooner. He added that they intended ac-
quainting the committee tomorrow with
the fact that they desired the conven-
ton, and that if the committee send it
they will furnish guarantees of their pur-
pose properly to care for it. Beyond this,
he continued, the Chicago representatives
will do nothing.
1t is obvious that, notwithstanding Chi
cago's apparent inactivity, the city is
well regarded by the members of the ma
tional committee and there are not want
ing those who have no direct interest in
Chicago, who believe that the Lake City
will tomorrow bear off the convention
honors.

JAMESON MOVED TOO QUICK.
Renegade Uidanders Accused OF
Treachery.

London, Jan. 15.--The African Critic has
received dispatch from johannesburg,
which says that the invasion of the Trans
vaal by Dr. Jameson and his followers
was prematurely made, which fact was
due to the treachery of renegade Uit-
landers.
The Pail Mall Gazette is authority for
the statement that Cecil j. Rhodes, eX-
premier of Cape Colony, sails from Cape
Town for England to-day.
Pretoria, Jan. 15.-The conference be-
tween Sir Hercules Robinson, governor
of Cape Colony, and President Kruger Of
the South African republic, has been con-
cluded, and, it is believed, has been en-
tirely satisfactory as regards all matters
in which DR.. jameson and his followers
are concerned. Other questions which re-
quire settlement have been deferred. Brit
ish officials speak in the highest terms OF
the moderation displayed by President
Kruger and declare it to be untrue that
he has made any inordinate demands.
Some of the Uitlanders who were arrest
ed at johannesburg have been released.
1t has been finally settled that DR.. jam
eson and his officers shall be conveyed as
prisoners to England, where they will be
arraigned before the proper tribunals.
The rank and file of DR.. Jameson's inVad-
ing party have arrived at Volks Ruth,
whence they will proceed for Natal and
later be sent to England to be dealt with
as the government of Great Britain may
see fit.
Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of Cape
Colony, has started on his return to Cape
Town. Circumstances with the changes
in the Cape ministry hastened his depar-
ture.

would be impossible. (Cheers).
He deprecated the pessimist view taken
OF the future by some and asserted his
unbelief that public opinion on either side
OF the Atlantic or in Europe would permit
the outbreak OF war. Moreover, he could
not see that England had cause for a
quarrel with any nation on the face Of
the earth. England did not desire any
bodys territory and had no wish 60 in

war must come, he did not think she had
any reason 90 be afraid. He did not be-

Balfour was enthusiastically and repeat
