The sound of the school bell linked
in one unbroken chain the music of our
mountain cataract and the signing of
the sea.
Magnificent charitable institutions
for white and black alike had been
erected.
Churches sprang up as if by magic
in every hamlet.
Mountain and sea were connected
by rail.
The debt of the State had been hon
estly adjusted.
The cotton crop of the State and
more besides was manufactured with
in our borders.
Great places were filled by great
men.
Away from home we named our
State with pride and satisfaction.
All this and much more was con-
structed out of the ruin and debauch-
cry of former Republican rule.
Loyal North Carolinians, what have
you witnessed within the last eight
teen months?
You have seen a legislature as
semble which was a disgrace to ciyili-
cation.
You have seen every pledge made to
the people broken. You have seen
taxes raised, when they promised to re-
duce taxes. You have seen expendi-
lures increased, when they promised
greater economy. You have seen use
less offices created and filled by incOm-
petent men when they promised to re,
duce the fees and salaries of the of
Roac 1x-I,irI, oIrooIy aUiuta1
You have seen the very halls of leg
islation invaded by criminals, and
frauds perpetrated unknown in the
annals of crime. You find yourselves
to-day living powerless under the oper-
alton of law concocted, introduced,
and enacted into law by some Grim
inal.
You find yourselves Inundated at
home and ashamed of your State a.
broad.
What shall you do? Submit to this
longer?
The Democratic party redeemed the
State in the face of greater odds.
1t will redeem the State again in this
year of 1896.
We will fight for the honor of our
homes. We will appeal to the man
hood of the people. We will appeal to
that higher patriotism which puts
State above party and the God of JUS
tice will give us the victory, The DEM
ocratic party has sometimes been de-
feated; it has never yet surrendered. .
Shade of immortal Vance look down
from thy mountain resting place and
bless this struggle for the honor of
thy native State.
But. my friends, there is a still
greater fight to be made in the ma
ton.
Where shall we stand. on the side

CHAIRMAN JONES SAYS HE Is, AND
CREATES EXCITEMENT.
HUNDREDS VISIT THE DISPATCH.
They Eagerly Seek the News and
Cheer Repeatedly for DcnOcr2cy's
Candidntc-nrond street Thronged
with Political Enthusiasts.

Richmond was wild with excitement
last night, when about o'clock it be
came generally known throughout the city
that Chairman Jones. OF the National
Democratic Committee. had wired
throughout the country, claiming Mr..
Bryan's election.
The returns which came over the wire
and were displayed in front OF the Dis
patch building on Tuesday night were so
favorable TO McKinley's election that the
people Of Richmond-that is. the bulk
of them-gaveTp in despair and accepted
Mr.. Bryan's defeat as foregone conclu-
sion.
When. however. Mr. Jones's telegram
reached here. and was followed BY
another, claiming Indiana, Michigan. and
Iowa, and California. for the Democratic
nominee. the Democrats Of this city began
to realize that there was possibility Of
their having been too ready TO accept
defeat on the preceding night and their
enthusiasm. when had been dissipated,
returned 10 them. and they hocked the
streets and chccrcd for Bryan and Demo
cracy.
THEY WANTED THE NEWS.
All along Broad street great throngs Of
people gathered and besought passers-by
or any one who might have any informa-
ton to tell them the news. Hundreds 81
voters hocked to the Dispatch Office and
I'm "a very short time the first floor OF the
building was filed TO It's utmost capacity
with excited men. who in their eagerness
TO ascertain the facts. almost demanded
news from headquarters. Hundreds more
stood I'm the street. unable to get inside
the door.
Mr.. Jones's two kilograms were read
out. and those in the building accepted
these for all they were worth, and almost
raised the roof with their cheers. The
other enthusiastic Democrats who had
gathered in the street took up the cheer,
and their cries attracting others. their
numbers were augmented TO almost
thousand. The heavy rain which was
falling during their stay la front OF the
Dlspatch Office did not seem TO dampen
their ardor I'm the slightest. and they re-
uained I'm the street until some time after
midnight. receiving every BIT Of news
whether encouraging or otherwise, with
Great eagerness.
EXCITEMENT WAS GENERAL.
The excitement was not confined to any
particular locality in the city. but from
all quarters came the query over the tele-
phone: "Is Bryan really elected?'
The best information obtainable was
given al the Dispatch Office. and though
much Of it was rather discouraging, the
throng that had gathered there went
home better satisfied than on the pre-
ceding night 90 sleep and dream Of the
prosperity that viii obtain II Chairman
Jones's demonstration IS correct.
State-Chairman Ellyson received tele-
gram last night from Secretary Walsh,
saving that the National Committee be-
Iieved that Bryan was elected.
