PRINCIPLES DO NOT DIE.
Benton McMiIIin on the Defeat OF the
Democratic Party.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. S.-Gov.
Benton McMillin, former President
Of the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs, has this to say as to the
result and sequel Of the recent cleo
ton.
The result of tbs National election
is disappointing and unsatisfactory to
me. The result in the State is graft
flying. | believe that, notwithstand-
ing the clouds that hang over our
horizon today, the future will be
brighter for the party and the prin
ciples Of Jefferson. The principles
of Democracy were not born for
day, but forever, for the party did
not change principles when Jefferson,
jackson and Cleveland were defeated,
and will not change now because
Bryan was defeated.
'sIts principles OF equal rights to
all and special privileges to nome ,
peace, commerce and honest friend
ship with all, entangling alliances
with none, and the other principles
laid down in Jefferson's first inaugu-
raj address, are eternal principles
and will not change. Temporary
issues may change, but the principles
of the party are immutable, and
whatever may be the vicissitudes and
temporary conflicts the principles OF
free government will not be abandon
ed by the masses Of the great Demo-
cratic party.
IF the Republic is to survive the
principles of jefferson and Jackson
will not perish. Put out strong
ticket in four years and we will win" :"

New York. Nov. s.-William G.
Whitney, in the Journal today, talks
about re-organizatio of the Demo-
cratic party as follows:
Your telegram asking me what |
think proper to be done for the re-
construction of the party. and what
basis there is for the coming together
OF the factions, is at hand. There
are no factions, except those that are
made by separations arising from diff
ference in principle. You. yourself,
before the nomination. argued against
both the issues that Mr.. Bryan forced
upon the party.
Sixteen to one you repudiated as
already condemned by the American
people, but MIR. Bryan, catering to
the false sentiment in one certain
locality, forced it on the party. 1t
would be questioning his intelligence
to credit him with believing in it.
..Expansion, as exploited by Mr.,
Bryan and inserted in the platform,
you, Mr. Hearst, argued against be-
fore the nomination.
1T is my opinion that the Demo-
cratic party has had an old man of
the seas on its hands. The judgment
of the American people has twice as
serted itself on the question more
emphatically than ever before in our
history.
..Whenever the Democracy of the
nation surrenders to man who twice
loses New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Indiana, our old battle
grounds, by majorities unprecedented
in the history of our country, it is
evident that vigorous measures in
the way of rePudiating false gods
and false principles are required.
1T is not matter of the coming
together of factions; it is a matter of
adopting principles that are for the
good of the country that represent
the old Democracy.

TAe Legislature May Now Elect Tvv
Republican Senatorp

Republican Senators.
Wilmington. Nov. S.-The Republi-
cans not only carried the state for Nc
kinley and HUM for governor, but al
so secured the legislature in both
branches. This means the election Of
two Republican United States senators.
The senate will be composed of nine
Republicans and eight Democrats, and
the house will have 10 Republicans
and 15 Democrats, with one tie dis
trict, Red Lion hundred, which conf
prises the Twelfth representative dis
trict Of New Castle county. On joint
ballot the legislature will stand: Re-
publicans, 2s; Democrats, %. not in
Guiding the Red Lion hundred member.
Inasmuch as the Republicans will be
in control of the house Of representa-
tiveS, it is practically certain that
Theodore F. Clark. the Republican
candidate, and who was speaker of the
last house. will be seated. The Republi-
cans will have the organization OF the
senate and authority to pass upon the
contest of Howard d. Ross. Republican,
against Francis j. McNulty, Democrat,
for senator.
The Republicans elected two sena-
tors and nine Of the Is representatives
in Newcastle county. In Kent county
tho Democrats elected two senator's,
and each party elected five of the ten
representatives. In Sussex county the
Democrats elected enc senator and the
Republicans the other. The Democrats
elected five and the Republicans five of
the ten representatives.
The general assembly Is Republican,
but il was OF the same complexion In
1885 ami again in 1899. and both times
senatorial deadlocks continued to the
end. History may repeat itself.

f, NJ. SIMMONS"
Since early Tuesday afternoon,
when it became apparent to those
who were watching the progress of
the election that Mr. Simmons was
elected, kilograms and letters of con-
graduation have been pouring in from
all parts of the State, and from people
of all classes and callings. In ad-
dition to this, Mr.. Simmons office
has been constantly crowded with ad-
mirers, anxious to shake the hand OF
the new Senator and congratulate him
on his victory.
In the election returns. it is very
gratifying to Mr.. Simmons to note
that in Jones county, where he was
born and lived for twenty-five years,
only two votes were cast against him.
Also that in Onslow county, where he
practiced law for fifteen years, only
thirty-seven votes were cast against
him.

1t has pleased Almighty God to
bring our nation in safety and honor

abund ant harvests. Labor and the
great industries Of the people have

Our power and influence in the cause
Of enlightenment have extended over
distant countries and lands. The
lives of our official representatives
and many of our people in China have
been marvelously preserved. We
have been generally exempt from
pestilence and other great calamities;
and even the tragic visitation which
overwhelmed the city of Galveston
made evident the sentiments of SYM
pathy and Christian charity by virtue
of which we are one united people.
Now, therefore, I, WilliamMcKinley,
President of the United States, do here
by appoint and set apart Thursday, the
Goth of November next, to be observed
by all the people of the United States
at home, or abroad, as day Of
Thanksgiving and praise to Him who
holds the nations in the hollow Of
His hand. | recommend that they
gather in their several places of wor-
ship and devoutly give Him thanks
for the prosperity wherewith He has
endowed us, for seed time and harvest;
for the valor, devotion and humanity
Of our armies and nayies, and for all
His benefits to us as individuals and
as a nation; and that they humbly
pray for the continuance of His
divine favor, for concord and amity
with other nations, and for righteous
ness and peace in all our ways. In
witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this 29th day of October, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred, and of the Independence of the
United States the 125th

CHAIRMAN COMBS SAYS FRAUD.
Is in Favor Of Contrasting the Vote
For Presidential Electors.

Louisville. Nov. 10.-With unofficial
returns from every precinct in Ken
lucky. The Courier Journal puts
Bryan's majority at 1885 and Beck
hams at 4.1l0. The county boards
canvassed the returns in every county
in the state yesterday. and SO counties
out OF ll9 from which official returns
have been received did not materially
change the maiorities stated. There
is no doubt that the full official returns
Will vary somewhat from the unofficial
figures. 1t is hardly possible that ma
joritics Of 1865 and 4110 shall be
wiped Cnt, however, unless the unex-
pectod shall hapepn.
Chairman Leslie Combs. of the Re-
publican committee, said last night he
is in favor of contesting the electoral
vote of the state, not because Ken
tucky's vote is needed by the McKin-
ley electors. but fer precedent. He
says that il Bleathitt county frauds
amounting to over 400 votes in favor
OF the Democrats have been discovered.
"lf We allow this election to pass
uncontested," said he. I'VE only foster

THE ANNIE LEE MONUMENT.
A Splendid Picture of it Made BY Miss
Jessica Smith.

Miss Jessica Smith, OF Henderson, who
is one OF North Carolina's most talented
artists, has painted picture of the Annie
Lee monument near Warrenton, N C..
The picture is pronounced by critics a
very fine one, and it will be hung in the
North Carolina room at "White House"
Richmond, Va.
1his monument was erected hy the
ladies OF Warren county over the ashes
OF Miss Annie Carter Lee, who was the
daughter Of General Robert E. Lee, and
Mary Custis Lee; born at Arlington, Va,
June 1S, 1888, and died at White Sulphur
Springs, Warren county, n. C., October
~, 1862. The monument was unveiled
On August Sth, 1886, in the presence OF
q great concOurse OF people, and with
Major Generals G. W. c. Lee and W. II.
Lee in attendance as representatives of
their family.
On that occasion an eegiac ode writ
ten by Capt. James Barron Hope. Of
Norfolk, Va, was read by the author.
and the following is an extract from it:
AN ELEGIAC ODE.
he chastens US as nations and as men,
tie smites us sore until our pride doth
And hence our heroes, each with hearts for
tell,
Were vanquished in the field:
And stand today beneath our Southern
sun
O'erthrown In battle and despoiled Of
hope
Their drums all silent and their cause un-
done,
And they all left t, grope
In darkness till Gods own appointment
time
In His own manner pas,eth fully by,
Our Penance this. His Parable sublime
Means we must learn to die
Not as our soldiers diei ben.ath their
flags,
Not as in tumult and in blood they fell,
when from their columns. Glad in hOmely
rags,
Rose the Confederate Yell.
Not rs they died, though never mortal
Since Tahal Cain first forged his cruel
blade
Fought as they fought. nor ever shall again
Such Leader be Obeyed !
No, not as died our knichtly, soldier dead
Though they, trust, have found above
success
For all life's troubles, but on Christian
Should we depart in peace,
Filling asleep like those whose gentle
deeds
Are governed through times passions
and its strife
So Justly that we might erect new creeds
From each we'll ordered life,
Whose sanity lessons are so framed that
Ia rot I'm - hut tov u,
lime,
Teaching us how to learn at Sorrow s
knee
To value things of time
Thus thinking DER life's promise-breaking
Its lights and shadows made OF hopes
and fears,
say that Death is kinder than he seems,
And not the King of tears.
The complete poem is found in "Vance's
Sketches of North Carolina" book now
out OF print, and therefore very rare aud
valuable.
Miss Smith, after completing her pic
ture, tried in vain to secure a copy of the
book, and Mrs. Vance, hearing that she
wanted the poem: made Il copy of with
her own hand and sent it to her. This
copy, the artist naturally prizes very
highly.
There are comparatively few people in
the State now who know that one OF
General Lees daughters is buried in
North Carolina soil, and Miss Smith has
done a noble work in calling attention to
it by perpetuating the design of the
monument the good people of Warren
have erected to her memOry-News and
