DEMOCRACY IS IMMORTAL.
Kinston Free Press.

Kinston Free Press. -
The Democratic party is defeated in the
nation, but Democracy is immortal, and
four years hence will make another glo-
rious struggle to redeem the nation from
the rule of the dollar.
In the meantime in North Carolina ev-
cry citizen should do his share toward
the development of the material and edu-
cational interests of the State.
And right at this time The Free Press
thinks it wise to advise the people to
prepare for hard time during the next
few years. The immense war cost has
to be paid, withdrawing hundreds of mil
lions of dollars from active circulation
during the next few years. The trusts
will close up more factories There wiz
be more idle labor. Hard times, as W.
view the future, are inevitable. There
fore the part of wisdom is for our people
to make all the progress in business they
can, but to avoid debt as far as is prac-
ticable.

DEC NINDICE.
Columbia State.

Columbia State
Our judgment, not our hope. prevails
and Mckinley is elected. The news is
not a shock. 1t was discounted in ad-
vance. We have felt for four years that
the latter-day electorate could hardly
withstand the temptations of a gilded
hook. 1t was different once, but America
has changed since then and we are now
at the bargain-counter of politics.
The Republican party has reaped a re-
ward not of its earning, but poor fools
and rich fools alike cannot be persuaded
of that; they see before them the glitter
of prosperity and they seize upon it, as
they think, with no regard for aught
but the appetites. They will live to re-
greet it, and we who know how they are
deluding themselves, how they will
writhe on the hook some months or years
from now, have only to wait for our time
OF triumph.
1t will surely come. There is no power
below the power of God that can long
stay the reaction, and Providence pro-
vides for the ebb as for the flow.
The Democratic party with it's allies
has made a brave and splendid fight for
justice between man and man. between
nation and nation. 1t has failed. but
this failure is only the beginning of its
ultimate victory The time approaches
when to have striven with Bryan for the
Republic of the fathers will be a title of
American nobility.
Dec vindice.

WE GO FORWARD"

In figuring up the changes in the
relative population of the Southern
States the fact that will most interest
North Carolinians is that this State
now leads Virginia in population and
stands fifth. The order is: Texas.
Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississ-
ippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Ar
kansas and Florida. In 1890 Kentucky
was ahead of Georgia and Virginia
was ahead of North Carolina. They
have now changed plares. The total
population of the South is now 81
754, 247 or more than one-third of the
population of the Union.
North Carolina will be entitled to an
additional member of the House of
representatives and Virginia will lose
member if the present representa-
ton stands. Without single city of
as many as twenty-five thousand peo-
pie, the growth in North Carolina is
significant because the chief growth in
population has been in the large cities.
The tendency is for the cities to grow
at the expense of the rural districts.
The outlook for continued growth in
North Carolina is good. It's manufac-
turing interests are profitable and it
is destined to become manufacturing
State of Importance. In agricultural
lines, too, the diversification of crops
offers better conditions. The truck in
dustry of the East is specially profit
able, and has brought more comfort
and larger incomes.
Blessed by good home government,
the State of North Carolina is going
forward.

BRYAN NOT A BACK NUMBER.
Augusta Chronicle

Augusta Chronicle.
Looking back over the brilliant cam
paign which has ended in his defeat there
is nothing in the record that does not
challenge the respect and admiration of
his fellow citizens. He has addressed
more of his fellow citizens in the last two
campaigns than any other man ever spoke
to, and in all of the record there has
been no speech or act of his that calls for
regret or apology. His course has won
the warmest adherence of his friends
and challenged the respect and admira-
ton of his political enemies for his ability
and high character. When he was nom
mated it was a forlorn hopes and there
was no life in the party or the campaign
By his wonderful personality and marvel
Gus ability as leader he inspired his
followers with hope and lifted his party
from lethargy to enthusiasm. Backed
by no machine and no aggregations of
wealth, he aroused the people and made
a campaign which will live in history.
Though defeated, he is enshrined in the
hearts of his countrymen, and though he
may never again be a candidate for the
high office of President, William J. Bryan
is not back number and will continue
to be an important influence in current
history.

the 1896 bolt or who supported Me-
Kinley in 1900.
Mr.. Dickinson's meeting would be
more than a failure-it would be a
crime against the party for any
coterie of men at this time to arrogate
to themselves the right to lay down
the plan of camjaign four years be-
fore the battle opens. The men who
are leaders of the party are Demo
Gratis who are true and loyal in de-
feat and in victory. Senator Jones will
not wish TO conduct the next campaign
as national chairman, but the seven
million Democrats who have followed
his lead would not submit to see him
Inundated by men like Don Dickinson
whose only prominence was obtained
by holding on to Cleveland's coat
tails.
The Democratic party has suffered
by the loss of some good men. Those
who truly believe in Democratic prin-
ciples will find the party doing bust
ness at the old stand whenever they
are ready to come back. The doors
swing both ways and men can come
in or go out at will. Nine Dem
ocrats out of ten are Democrats
of the News and Observer type
they believe in Democratic prin-
ciples- so thoroughly that in a
political sense they think the worst
Democrat is better than the best Re
publican. They do not kick they
do not need fodder" they do not
have to be given sugar" and they do
not need to have their favorite candi-
date named or their special issue made
prominent to command their allegi-
ance. They "abide in the ship" They
support their favorites before the con-
vention but it is creed with them
''to submit to the arbitrament of the
national convention" They have an
old fashioned notion that the majority
of the party has a right to interpret
Democratic principles and name cam
didates. They will live and die in this
faith.
Senator German. who is Democrat
of approved consistency, talks sound
sense when he says 1T is too early to
talk or even think about reorganiza-
tion,' and he was quite as wise when
he said, sit is no time to indulge in
ordinations or determinations"

MR.. BRYAN's PLACE SECURE.

New IOrk Journal
Mr.. Bryan's place in the hearts of the
Democratic millions is secure He re-
mains in defeat, as he would have been
in victory, commanding figure, a fine,
conscientious spirit, dmired and loved
by the great masses of the Democracy.
But the attempted revival of free silver
and the proposed abandonment of terri
tory that was already American soil were
fatal mistakes, which have cost us this
election.
Mr. Bryan could have been elected by
such majority as no President since
Grant has ever had if the two extrane-
Gus issues of free silver and the aban-
donment of the Philippines had not been
needlessly dragged into the campaign.

Mr.. Bryan retires. He has had two
fair whacks and failed. That is enough
for any man. He ran against hard
times four years ago and bucked pros
perity yesterday. If the Democrats don't
want to drop him because he has been
defeated twice they might do it on the
ground that he can never be elected.

THE EXPECTED HAS HAPPENED

New York World.
The result foreordaned at Kansas City
has come to pass. President Mckinley
is reelected
When the 16 to l plank was separately
reaffirmed, upon the direct demand of
Mr.. Bryan and with the complacent as
sistance of Croker, though against the
clearly expressed judgment of the dele
gates, the fate of the ticket was sealed.
That plank became a milestone around
the candidates neck. 1t was impossible
to keep the money question out of the
campaign, even though as an issue it was
dead Mr.. Bryans silence on 16 to / in
the East led to attacks upon his sincerity
and was regarded as an admission of the
utter defenselessness of the plank he had
insisted upon reiterating
Doubtless the decisive idea in the minds
of tens of thousands of voters who sup
ported Mckinley unwillingly was to doub-
ly safeguard the currency the life blood
of industry and to protect prosperity
from even the menace of danger. They
would rather bear the ills we have than
to fly to others that we know not of,'tt
Yet the fight against Imperialism, Mill
tarism and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Plutocracy
and Privilege-will not stop. 1t will go
on unconfused hereafter with the now
dead and everlastingly buried free silver
fallacy. The Philippines must be as free
as Cuba. The eternal vitality of the De-
claration of independence must be ac-
knowledged The supremacy of the Con-
stitution wherever the flag flies in sover-
eighty must be admitted. If the Congress
just elected does not restore the Repub-
lie in all it's integrity, Congress must
be elected two years hence that will
do it.

The reelection of President Mckinley

it is the achievement of the money power

or by foul, has prevented the free ex-
