The Passing of Butler:

The election of last week puts
all end to the political career OF
Marion Butler. He had staked
everything on the result aud
must read in the election returns,
"Thou art weighed in the bal,
ance and found wanting"
Ordinarily defeat of his party
does not mean political destruc~
ton for a public official, for if
he fails when his party is de
feated he succeeds again when
it is victorious. 1t is annihila>
ton for Butler because he forced
MS party machinery into an I'm
holy alliance for selfish ends by
which he has destroyed his par
ty in North Carolina in the TN.
successful attempt to obtain an
Office at the hands of the Repub-
liCan party. The same unscru-
pulous men and the same corr
rupt methods that were used to
elect Mckinley were used to
secure a Legislature TO keep
I;utler in the Senate, and he
was in the very front employing
the agencies of corruption that
every true Democrat and every
true Populist denounced in 1896.
Against the will Of those popu>
lists who care more for reform
than for office, Butler committed
his party against the Amend
ment and a1nalga mated it with
the gold and negro party. II
the contest had been merely one
over Offices, this prostitution Of
the Populist party might not
have been fatal, but as it was &
question that went to the very
mud sill of Southern civiliza
tion, the failure to put the Pop
ul1st party in line with Southern
thought and the preservation O.
intelligent rule was a crime
from which no man and no pat
ty can recover in the life of this
generation.-Ne7vs 6 Observer.

have her little heart thrilled by
the jabilant voices of nature.

and IN the broad open daylight
withstood the execution of the

babe defiance to the royal crow.
of England, 1t was great day
when the first rich libation
poured out upon Liberty's Sd
cred altar in behalf of American
freedom, rendered Alamar &C
forever thereafter an hallowe d
spot. 1t was a great day when
the first Declaration of Amerl>
can independence was published
to the world in old Mecklenburg
county. 1t was a great day
when amid the first clash OF
arms in the great Civil Strife d
North Carolinian yielded up, at
Big Bethel, the crimson wealth
of his noble heart. 1t was a
great day when Pettigrew not
Pickett led his men farthest up
the CORY heights of Gettysburg.
1t was a great day when the gall

his noble young lite for Cuban

cemented more closely the dis

Time would fail to give all
the great days in North Caro-

name but one more. 1t has the
property of dewey freshness. 1t
has but recently demonstrated its
right to a place in flames proud
record. IT IS THE SECOND DAY
OF AUGUST, 1900. 1t will ever
hereafter be memorable III the
States annals. No bugle blast
was sounded, no booming of
cannon was heard, no clash OF
arms disturbed the days seren>

States history was being fought.
Noislessly as the struggle be-
tween light and darkness the
tiny but potent ballots Wrestled
for the mastery, Bloodless was
the conflict but when the day
was ended a glorious victory
had been won. Right had til
umphed and wrong had been
throttled. Manhood had assert
ed itself and North Carolina had
been freed from ignominous
surfdom.
This days victory will live
foyever. 1t will fling its glori>
Gus light far down the avenue of
coming years and be hailed
with glad acclaim by future
