MIR. ARENDELL RETIRES.

We have hitherto omitted to note the
retirement of Mr.. Il. b. Arendell from
the staff of the News and Observer.
Mr.. Arendell has been Il member of the
staff for more than four years, and has
shown that he possessed newspaper
talent of high order. In the recent
campaign. particularly, his service was
conspicuous, his graphic letters from the
East being the first that portrayed the
horrible condition that negro rule had
brought about. The best wishes of
the News and Observer and its patrons
follow Mr.. Arendell. whose devotion to
Democracy has been manifested IN such
ways as have given him the esteem OF
the unterrified in all parts of the State.

BRYAN STRONGER THAN EVER

We are daily told that Bryan and sill
yer have .splayed out in the West" and
vet every time that Democratic gath
ering having a right to speak for the
party is held, Bryan and the Chicago
platform are endorsed with a will. The
Significance of the resolutions unani-
mously adopted by tie Illinois State
Central Committee is that Ben Cable,
who bolted the nomination in 1896, re-
quested his proxy to vote for them.
Instead of weakening, Mr. Bryan IS
stronger in the Democratic party than
ever, and is as truly its leader to-day
as Jefferson was one hundred years
ago. There are many Democrats who
voted against him two years ago who
have regretted it ever since, and who
will support him heartily in 1900. One
of the leading business men of Eastern
North Carolina said a few days ago:
Il voted against Bryan in 1896 because
| was afraid of silver. l am not for
silver now, but his manly and bold
stand against expansion has made me
a Bryan man for all time"
