A VIVID PEN SKETCH
CONTINUED from 9th page,)

The procession advanced brislHly,
their heads and banners alone visible
above Che thronging crowd. | kept
getting glimpses of Bryan; much of the
time he stood erect in the carriage, his
head up, confronting that amazing
concourse with an expression grave
almost to grimness. Not twice in life
times, has such a scene been beheld or
imagined. / can say that the chief
figure in it looked worthy of the oc-
casion-a man of iron nerve and un-
conquerablc dignity. Certainly this IS
a man OF men.
There is no need for me to draw any
conclusion from this reception at the
Lake City. But no one can deny that
there was manifested in Chicago to-day
a remarkable lack OF apathy regard
ing Mr.. Bryan.-New York Journal.

HOW A DEMOCRAT "PHASED" BOB
INGERSOLL.

Colonel Robert IngersolI is a rapid
thinker and usually has good reply on
the end of his tongue whenever he is
interrupted in the midst of a speech.
On one occasion, however, his gift of
repartee failed him. TT happened
that he was unusually severe in his
abuse Il the Democrats, acting, of
course, upon the supposition that he
was addressing an audience composed
entirely of Republicans. After he
had about finished his diatribe he ask
ed:
rs there a Democrat in this whole
audience? If there is l would like him
to stand up and tell the audience how
he feels
A gray-haired old man stood up in
the crowd and Colonel Ingersoll turn
ed on him.
$50 you're a Democrat, are you?"
asked Bob. ''Well, now, just tell this
vast audience how you feel. just des-
cribe your sensations. l want this
great crowd to know what you feel
like"
A deathlike stiffness fell upon the
crowd and the old man replied in
loud, piercing voice that could be
heard all over the house: II feel like a
sound hazelnut in bushel of rotten
BEANS"
A roar of laughter went up from
the crowd and for once the colonel
was not ready with very good res
ponse.

SILVER CAUSES PROSPERITY.
Native Of Lenoir, Now in Mexico,
Writes of the Effect of Free Silver.
Guadalnpe Calvo. No. 80.

Guadalupe Calvo, Mex. Sept. %.
w. ID. Pollock, Kinston, N. c.:
Your letter of the 18th at hand to-
day, was forwarded to me from
Guanaswi. In answer to your questions
as to the price Of cotton, etc, in Mexico,
will say that in August cotton was sell
ing in the city of Mexico for Ice. to 19c.
a pound, which is about the usual price.
We do not export any cotton from this
country, and l think the grade will
run a little better here than in the
South, but not enough to justify the
difference in price. All other farm
products sell at about the same pro
portion as cotton. Mexico is in very
healthy and prosperous condition, ow-
ing to the use of silver money. The
high rates of exchange between this
country and the United States have
been the cause of the tremendous in
crease in all classes of manufacturing
in this country, and Mexico to-day is
almost entirely independent of the
United States and of all other cOun-
tries; and if the present condition of
affairs in the States continue for a
few years longer, we viii not have to
go to you for a single thing you now
sell us. 1T is now easier to make 300
here than it is to make $1.0O in the
STATES. Everybody here has money and
the people are contented and happy.
Yours truly,

THREATENED PERIL.
White Men of North Carolina Should
Unite and Avert 1t.


Let the Democrats arm for battle.
A great deal of peril threatens our
beloved old State. The nature of
the violence and vice, the bullying
and laundering, the deyiltry and des-
truction that will follow the triumph
of the conspirators and fusionists, can
nei Their be anticipated nor fittingly
described. 1t will be something. of
hell turned loose. 1t will be another
invasion like that of 1866-70, when
the old State was swept as by be-
som of destruction, and crime and
yillainy and debauchery and theft
celebrated their Saturnalia, and
$30,000,000 of debt were piled upon
a people recently stripped of all their
property and were wIhelmed with
debts.
The Messenger is for saving North
Carolina, and preventing all outrages
and rapacious taxation and waste. If
the white men do not unite they must
bear the burden and the curse of four
long years of Russell and his Myrm-
dons. If they fail to unite, to
heartily work together for safety and
salvation and the curse of Russellism
comes upon them, they may sorrow
and bleed and suffer, but they win
find no comfort, and they will be
compelled to say, we did it by not
striving might and main to avert the
ruin and the political damnation that
is upon us. Shall it come? Save
North Carolina from the Vandalic
horde Wilmington Messenger.

Mr. Bryan Cannot Jest About Serious

Mr.. Bryan Cannot Jest About Serious
Things.
As the train swept away Mr.. Bryan
leaned against the rail Of the car like
a tired boy. A friend touched him on
the shoulder. This upheaval every
four years is a frightful blow to bust
ness" said the friend. "Our general
elections should be further apart. I
believe that this campaign has actually
caused a shinkage of more than a
billion dollars in the commerce and
industries of the country"
MIR. Bryan smiled and half closed his
eyes.
The Presidents term of office is
quite long enough" he said quite long
enough"
Il tell you what it is, Mr.. Bryan"
said the friend, banteringly, ''we ought
to have a king"
Instantly the young leaders face
grew grave. He cannot jest about
serious things
IF you think that lsing would
bring peace to this country" he re-
piled, 'you had better read in the Bible
what Samuel said to the people who
asked for a king Just glance through
the 8th chapter of the First Book of
Samuel. Every man in this country
who feels a weakness for kings should
read that chapter"
Mr.. Bryan's confidence in the success
of his great struggle increases every
day He inspires all around him with
CreelmaD, in New York

HAVANA, June 27.-Major Louis Tru-
jillo, with. the Farnesco squadron, while
accommodating near Siebe, this province,
met force of 600 insurgents under Al
berto Rodriguez, at the Brujo bridge,
near the California farm. Under the
fire of the enemy, the squadron charged
at gallop and dispersed the insurgents,
with loss of twenty-one killed and
many wounded. The main body of the
troops then started in pursuit of the
fugitives, and inflicted further loss upon
them. Eight troopers were wounded
with machetes.
The repeated denials of General Fitz-
hugh Lee, United States consul-general,

President Cleveland, as announced in

acted the bad feeling occasioned by the
publication of the erroneous reports.
