'Mr. Bryan'a notlrtcatlon speech, which We print In full thla morning, will five unqualified pleasure lo all aober-thlnking people who deMre tnat tha Democratic party ahall not only achieve aucceaa but deere It. No vote for ia-yan and Kern electori la to be construed aa a vote for those varioua political extremiama which Mr. Bryan, either with or without party concurrence, haa championed In the paat and may still accord hla per aonal adherence. Qovernment owner ahlp of railroads,, national Initiative and referendum and other auch doc trines will ret unnoticed by the nomi nee; in the event of his election, free allver faring likewise. He would use the presidential office to advance any of these neither directly nor Indirect ly. So much we find stated explicitly In "the first sentences following his formal acknowledgment of the notlfl cation. "I indorse It the platform Jit whole and In part," he says at the outset, "and ahall. If elected, regard Its deciaratlona as binding upon me. And. may add. a platform Is bind ing as to what It omits as well as to what it contains. A platform announces the party's position on the questions which are at Issue; and an official Is not at liberty to use the authority vested la him to urge per sonal views which have not been sub mitted to the voters for their ap proval. If one is nominated upon a platform which Is not satisfactory to him. he must, if candid, either decline 4 he nomination, or. In n-rrrptlng It. propose an amended platform In Hpu of the one adopted by the convention. No such situation, however, confronts your candidate, for the platform upon which I was nominated not only con tains nothlnjr from which 1 dinont, but It Specifically outline all the remedial legislation which we can hope to secure during the next four years." Thua tho platform's conspic uous omissions are given a signifi cance of the right :nrt. Tin y do not constitute evasion for (he nominee's convenience. Uy frankly and unquali fiedly . accepting them as positive rather than negative In their bearing. Mr. Bryan Insures thWr sufficiency. He has done everything necessary to render the plat'orm satisfactorily Democratic. There Is an excellent prospect that election day will find him the candidate of a re-united party. Promising a detailed disciiHsInn of the platform later In his letter of ac ceptance, Mr. Bryan taken np.only matters of such broad Import that they may properly - brought under the general head, ".shall the people ruteT This he pronounces the over shadowing Inane. It I the Untie rained by those 'known abuses" to which Mr; Tuft's acceptance speech refers and Involves the tjueotion whether predatory wealth, through subservient Officials, shall control the government. From President KooseveU'a vehement denunciation last January of bad rich' men then waging a campaign to dis credit hlin and his policies the speaks quotes at some length. He quotes Mr. Taft In approval and then foe on to show that the "known abuse" have arisen and flourished under Republican rule. "Four years fO.7- H Js Mid very neatly, "the Re publican platform boastfully declared that ince 1160. with the exception of two years, the Republican party had bet In control of part or of all the braaches of the Federal government: that for two year only was the Dem ocratic party to a position to either enact or repeal a law. Having drawn the sattfjearhavlnf enjoyed the hon ors having secured the prestige, let the Republican party accept the re fpoosibllity!" If Kr.; Roosevelt has found Wmaelf unable to correct these Mr, Taft caa do any better? In thla connection the speaker very perti nently ak -why there has been no tariS reform, no anti-trust legislation. Bo really effective railroad regulation legislation. The truth la, he well con tends, t iae Republican party . has frowa corrupt, through ; over-long tenure of power and cannot regener ate itaelf except by fasting in the wll- rferness, - Especially will it never 4. rve popular confidence again ' t long as It turns down all proposals for legislation. looking to publicity; for campaign contributions. Though-M'. Taft haa apologised forrfc!aconNren Uon'e shortcoming in this rrspect, be himself ; only promlaoa post-election publicity., emphasizing party .diner ences on these points, Mr. Bryan takes Mr.Taft to' task' becaus to! party opposes direct . election of. Senator and he himself 'only haa a personal Inclination" toward" It. ; The House or Repisfjieataiiveafleapotlc-rrtttos -ar Justly arraigned. Broadly - epeaklng. Mr, Bryn'' contention la that Mr. Taft,' constantly apologising for hla party, cannot , be expected to .wring any real reforms from that party and should not ask. the country to give him so manifestly' Impossible a task. That the Democratic party , would faithfully serve the . publiq Interest Mr. Bryan gives earnest assurance. It would wage werfare on lawless wealth with all the more seal because of knowledge that honest wealth must gain protection from sucn a course, The Democratic party." says the speaker with gratifying emphasis on this point, "Is not the enemy of any legitimate Industry or of honest ac cumulations, it Is, on the contrary, a friend of Industry and the steadfast protector of that wealth which repre sents a service to society, The Demo cratic party does not seek to anni hilate all corporations; It simply as serts that as the government creates corporations, it must retain the power to regulate and to control them, and that It should not permit any cor poration to convert Itself Into a mo nopoly. Surely we should have the co-operation of all legitimate cor porations in our effort to protect busi ness and Induatry from the odium which lawless combinations of capital will. If unchecked, cast upon them. Only by the separation of the good from the bad can the good be made secure " Which Is all sound Demo cratic doctrine and heeds no qualifi cation whatsoever. Let these princi ples be applied with sanity and good Judgment and the country will find It self only a gainer. It seems too good to be true, but the fact Is, Mr. Bryan having divested himself of his dangerous Uyns, there stands before the electorate a Demo cratic candidate on a Democratic platform and with the prospect of very nearly united Democratic sup port. Possibilities of continued divi sion are found only in campaign de velopments yet ahead. There ex'tts the chance which' Is .small that Me. Bryan will let Mr. Taft stand clearly outlined as defender of the Integrity of the courts; and the chance which Is not small that the 3outh, ths bor der States and Southerners In the North will be given Just grounds for resentment by courting the negro vote on the Brownsville Issue. Granted the safe avoidance of th.ve stumbling blocks, all should go well. Our strong est wish Is that Mr. Cleveland were yet alive; for support from him we make very little doubt about his atti tude would render Mr. Bryan clear ly and overwhelmingly irresistible. The speech at Lincoln yesterday gives new and strong grounds for hope In any event North Carolina will rise after reading It with the hearty dispo sition to roll up a large-sjlied major ity next November. This paragraph, accompanying a double-column cut of the gentleman whose, name Is mentioned In The Lake Charles, La., News, falls with start ling effect on the North Carolina eye: "Hon. Paul A. tfompayrac, who Is a candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme bench of Louisiana, spoke this afternoon at Church Point and will deliver another address to-night at Itayne. Sir. Hompayrae Is making a hard campaign and says he has many reasons to believe that he will be successful In his race." It is not meant to criticise the custom of an other State,' but the Idea of a Justice of the Supreme Court, or a candidate for any other Judicial position, taking the stump In a primary contest In behalf of his own nomination. Is shocking beyond expression to the North Carolina sense of .propriety. The custom mny obtain In ofher States than Louisiana. The view of It all depends upon men's habits of thought. "If every man In the country who Is robbed by the trust-tariff combi nation would respond to the appeal (Mr. Bryan's appeal) the Democratic campaign fund would be the largest any party ever had," says The lndlan- tpoUe News. And The Charleston News and Courier pi pee in unison: 'Why shouldn't they respond? This Is the People's fight, and If they would save themselves from the ex actions of the tariff and the trust by which they have been robbed for gen erations, they will respond to the call Of the leader Of the Democratic party." And If In addition to the class referred to the great multitude which is urging upon others to con tribute would itself chip In a quarter apiece there would be raised for the People's Cause a campaign fund which would astonish the universe. Times change and men change with them. The Bryan who delivered the speech at Lincoln yesterday did not talk at all like the Bryan who, speak ing at the Erooklyn Democratic din- net a night or two after his return I irwmnrzfirwo of the Initiative and referendum: "If yoa do not accept It I wiu drive you Out of the party." , - -, - .

The Observer is gratified to see Its worth recognised abroad and Jo see The Greenville News commend It and its merits to Its own people.

To the Editor of The Observer:1 In our election for bonds In Ala mance county, will say there were 228 registered voters in this town ship. There were csst in this town- shlD 131 votes for bonds; voting against bonds and not. voting at alt. there were 17. The majority of the people claim a majority of 34 for bonds. Others fig ure tnat a nona majority, u an over half of the registered voters that Is all over 114 would be a majority, which In this case would be 17. A bet of $5 was made as follows: Taking as a basis 1.000 registered voters, 501 votes being cast for bonds and 499 against bonds, A bets 13 that there is only a bond, majority of one and a plurality of two; B bets that there is a bond majority of two. It was agreed that the matter be left to you to decide. Thanking you In advance. A. Mebane Aug. 11. The 131 voting for bonds and those voting against them or not vot ing were 97.

To the Kdltor of The Observer: I notice your version of the major ity In Graham township on the bond l8ic for good roads last Thursday, In answer to an enquiry from that township, and that you make It 34.50. Are you not wrong In this? The reg istered vote of the township was 39. Of this number 279 voted for the bond Issue. As the law requires a majority of the reglsterod voe to carry In this flection, the 85 not vot ing are counted against the bond is sue.
