BRYAN IN DEFEAT.

The third unsuccessful race
Hon. William Jennings Bryan
has made for the presidency by
no means eliminates him as a po-
litical factor in this country, or
removes the needed reforms he
advocates from the public eye.
He is yet the great orator, the
matchless debater, the real re-
former, the heightened Chris
tan gentleman and true friend
of those who toll that has crown
ed the efforts of his useful life
for the past twelve years. Many
of the reforms he has advocated
have been written into law and
future generations will enjoy the
benefit of his labors as a bene-
factor of the race. Like Clay,
Webster and Calhoun, neither of
whom reached the height of his
ambition, Mr.. Bryan's name will
appear in history among the
greatest statesmen of his time.
He stands for the people and not
for himself alone. Listen to
what he has to say in his paper
concering the result of the recent
contest:
"As for myself, let no one
worry about my future. The
holding of office is mere incid-
ent in the life of those who are
devoted to reforms. The reform
is the essential thing. If one
can advance reforms by holding
office, then the holding of office
is justifiable; if one can best
advance re f forms as a
private citizen, then the
holding of office is undesira-
BILE. The world owes me moth
ing; l have been abundantly COM
pensated for what l have been
able to do. My life will not be
long enough to repay the people
for their support. and for the
confidence which they have ex-
pressed. Ny gratitude to those
with whom | have labored sur
passes language, and the days of
the future will be devoted to
work in the interest of the peU-
pie as I understand that interest,
and in behalf of those reforms
which seem to me to be the best.
| invite the cooperation of those
who approve, and | shall not be
deferred by the criticism of those
who disapprove. With an abid-
ing faith in the triumph of the
truth and an unfaltering conf
dence in the righteousness # our
cause, l speak this word of en-
enlargement to those who call
themselves friends. I shall keep
step with them and march on.
The measure of our work cannot
be taken in a day. If we are
right, as | believe we are, it will
Yindicate us; if we contribute, as
/ believe we are contributing to
a cause that is founded in justice,
our efforts will weigh in the fin
al victory"
''Yea, though thou lie down
upon the dust,

in fear,

future WORK.

=
The duty of the democracy of
Henderson county, the tenth con-
gressional district and the State
at large is perfectly plain. Re-
cent election results should serve
as a warning to individual MEM
bers of the party who would per-
nit serious divisions in the ranks
in order to attain prominence for
themselves, If success is to
crown our efforts at the next
election, we must exercise a
spirit of broad-minde dness and
be willing to make personal sacri-
fees for the sake of harmony and
good feeling among ourselves.
Unpopular leaders, if there are
such to be found, should volun-
tarily retire and take their places
in the ranks, if by so doing the
party may be strengthened and
the organization held in tact. The
friends of no particular candi-
date, or faction issue, or condi-
ton should employ offensive
epithets with reference to the
outcome of the political contest
recently. concluded. We must
put aside everything that would
offend and get together as of
yore.
The continued advancement of
North Carolina, along the lines
of solbriety, morality, education
and industrial progress, depends
upon continuance of the demo-
cratic party of the State in pow
er. This conclusion is justified
by years of successful rule to
which it points with pride.
Whenever the democracy has
been in charge of the State gov
eminent a feeling of peace and
security has prevailed, and con-
trary conditions have always
characterized republican admin
istrations in North Carolina.
Then why should wrangling over
false issues, or the personal am
billions of would-be-leaders be
permitted to enter into party
councils and threaten division
that might result in serious harm
to the organization which has
saved the State from degrade
ton time and time again. Let
the wisest heads get together and
perfect plans for signal victory
two years hence. We can and must
retrieve every inch of territory
that has been lost and take pos
session of other domains" yet
unconquored.
This falls election has much
encouragement in it for demo-
Gratis. Of course we regret the
defeat of The Great Commoner,
but there is consolation in know
ing that more than a million
votes has been gained. This is
not bad, by any means, and if
we keep up the fight, right will
prevail at no distant day. In
the State, the party has expert
enced a reduced popular MAORI
ty, but has held it's own surpris-
ingly we'll considering the open
antagonism of anti-prohibition
advocates and some other local
disturbances which entered into
the fight. However the major
ity for the democratic State tick
ct is more than 81, 500 and the
Legislature overwhelmingly dem
ocratic. The tenth district
held it's own better than any
other portion of the State, where
there was a fight on, and will be
redeemed twosyears hence.
Here in Henderson county we
made a gallant fight and, as Con-
gresham Crawford well says,
did as well as any county in the
district. " Our fighting demo-

The letter of Congressman
Crawford appearing elsewhere
should bring a feeling of cheer
to all of his friends. He always
submits cheerfully to the result
of a political contest and, never
tries to steal honors which righ-
ly belong to another. The world
would be better if there were
many more men like w. T. Craw-
ford.
