his popularity has waned. In
1896 he was defeated by a popu-
lar plurality of 601,854 In 1900
the popular plurality against him
was 849,7 100. This year it is
l, 100, 600. In several States he
ran behind the State ticket. The
combined pluralities against the
State tickets amount to a little
over 400, 900, or 700, 900 less than
the plurality against Mr.. Bryan.
The plurality vote against him in
his third race is 100000 more
than it was in his first race. He
has a following that adheres to
him through thick and thin, but
ne has lost many followers, and
IN the last campaign many sup
ported him who had never done
so before, while many who had
been his supporters declined to
vote for him. For a man who
has met only defeat in his whole
career as a National leader, Mr..
Bryan's popularity and influence
have been we'll sustained, but the
figures indicate their decline.

A Slick Greensboro Thief.
Cor. 25th, Charlotte Observer

Greensboro Cor, 25th, Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. J. E. Cole, of Liberty, who
had stopped in Greensboro on
his way to Texas, was robbed at
Hotel Clegg last night of purse
containing $500 in cash and his
railroad ticket. Upon retiring
for the night Mr.. Cole locked his
room door and left the purse in
a pocket of his pants, The thief
drew the pants through the tran
som with a long hook or pole. A
bell boy of the hotel and an oc-
cupant of an adjoining room
heard some one walking through
the hall about 4 o'clock this
morning, but thinking it was a
servant of the house or a belat-
ed guest, paid no attention to
the incident. The thief relieved
Mr.. Cole of all the cash he had
with him with the exception of
about $50 which he had placed in
a vest pocket.
