For SKYAN AND KERN For KITHCHIN AND NEWLAND and the regular National, State, District and County, Democratic ncirdnees. a w IGNORANCE BRYAN'S FOE. Prejudice and ignorance in the minds of a large part of people are the main sources of objection to the man Bryan, in the opinion of William E. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State, one of the first advocates of Bryanism and Democracy in America. Elsewhere in today's paper will be found an open letter written by Mr. Gonzales to the editor of the NeV York Evening Post. It is one of the most forcible appeals we have seen to the thinking men to throw off that un bounded prejudice which forms the bul wark of opposition to'Bryan. The let ter is meant to apply more particularly to New Yorkers, but its truth must le accepted by men everywhere. In forcible manner Mr. Gonzales an swers the argument advanced by Bry an's enemies, namely, that if elected to the presidency the Nebraskan would return to the free silver bogy: "Many that are loud in denunciation of what they allege to be the Nebras kan's 'inconsistencies are passing from mouth to mouth an unsound rea son for opposition, when they found) no fault with McKinley's change of front on silver coinage . and on the tariff, with Cleveland's change of-state banks of issue, or with Roosevelt's shifting from free trade to high pro tection, then to reciprocity, then to stand patism, then to revision of the tariff "after the election!' Some that deprecate as weakness in Bryan the dropping of free coinage of silver as a party measure extol the strength of Roosevelt, who has occupied more sides of more questions than any other man in America's public life." Touching the "government owner ship of railroads" bogey, played with Eucr. force by enemies of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Gonzales has this to say: "Another of the main counts in the indictment against Bryan that makes one wish for a legal requirement for compulsory political education is the awe-stricken declaration that 'Bryan advocates government ownership by railroads.' This is mortal sin. He might have stoutly contended for poly gamy or polyandry, and escaped less scathed. But, if investigation is made it will be found that Mr. Bryan's per sonal views never advanced as a party measure, or advocated for party discus sion, and expressed at a time when the tremendous influence of the railroads in legislation had assumed the pro portions of a national problem, was that, as between ownership of the government by the railroads and gov ernment ownership of the railroads, he favored the government's owning the roads. And all opposed to that proposi tion will please hold up their hands." After devoting attention to answer ing these two arruments advanced against Mr. Bryan Mr. Gonzales pays a splendid tribute -o the Democratic candidate, showing how, in spite of ignorance, misrepresentation and pre judice he has become the most im-iportant- figure in American political life: ! i "So the New York reader of New iYork's newspapers gets today the edi torial coloring that is the inheritance of that unanimous and virulent oppo sition to Bryan's financial policy manl iest 12 years ago. He was then de picted as a common demagogue and lgogrant iconoclast; as without con Btructive ability and only capable of , tearing down; as selfish, superficial, iempty. And not one potent voice was iraised in New York for this American. Times change, policies changed; Mr. Bryan has become stronger, broader, deeper; loved by millions; believed by Inillions to be a patriot, high and true, but the 'moulders of public opin ion have permitted the prejudice of lother years to mark the editorial jages. Their interpretations have con cealed the truth about Bryan. "Will those that are willing to see, inquire or themselves the secret of this man's ascendancy following suc cessive defeats? Do the "shallow thrive on reverses? Do demagogues grow strong upon failures? Do millions of all classes love and place their trust In any ordinary man? Do those not great and having no means but their personalities for impressing the world become world figures? And Mr. Bryan Js a world figure. Has not the truth about Bryan of 4 today recently, come to the understanding of many business men in New York and other cities in the East' without their having the mor & courage to step forward in the face of prejudice and declare for him? What but moral cowardice binds Collier's and the Baltimore Sun to Taft, when ab horing the principles of his party? They and other thousands have not the courage to declare emancipation from the slavery of the anti-Bryan habit." No man in public life has been more systematically misrepresented than has Mr. Bryan and no man in the history of the country has faced all opposition and made more rapid gains in the estimation of the great masses than has Mr. Bryan. Only a great man could grow in public faror when the powerful influences were his ene mies throughout his career. , But, despite the efforts of his ene mies to picture him in a false light; de spite the efforts of the moneyed in terests to cripple his influence, Bryan has steadily grown upon the American public, and his vote in November will be a surprise to many who have de luded themselves with the fancy that he is a dead issue. It looks more like Bryan every day. The Industrial News publishes an interview which is a bitter assault on the management of the state insane asylum at Rajeigh. Realleges cruelties and hardships are endured by inmates of that institution. The slander was done for the political effect it will have. The superintendent of the in stitution comes out in a statement to day, denying the charges and inviting the public to visit the institution and see how it is run. The information or the Industrial News was based upon an alleged interview with George W. Crabtree, who has been in the asylum at Raleigh and one. in California. The superintendent takes the charges made by the Greensboro paper up and answers them in a straightforward manner. That were scarcely necessa ry. The people of North Carolina do not believe such conditions as are de scribed exist in any of our state insti tutions. And the people are not going to be fooled by this low method of peanut politics. The Industrial News should be ashamed to attack a great institution, which is above politics, on the strength of an interview with a former inmate. No man with any sense of decency or fairness can sanc tion such dirty work. The exhibits and attractions at the Mecklenburg county fair this year will be the best ever, according to the statements oi those having the fair in charge. The largest attendance on record is expected, and an all-round good time awaits every one who at tends. Next stop; the county fair. COMMITTEES CHOSEN.
