TUESDAY, NOVEMBER- S, ltOft. THK DCTT OF THE DAT. We do not perceive in Mr. Bryan'a Attitude toward any public question a aotind reason why any Democrat should not vote for him to-day. With i soma one or another of the policies ; f- announced In his platform or speeches one may not agree; there never was and Will never coma a time when very man will agree with his party r or it candidate about everything; hut Mr. Bryan has stood in thia campaign for no un-Democratlc doctrine nor J- for any policy which ia dangerous to " the public welfare. Any Democrat, " or any good citizen, should, therefore, It aaema to us, be able to vote for him ' with heartiness and to entertain an 'I earnest, honest hope of his election, even though he may have differed ' wlth nim in the past. Mr. Taft is an able and eicellent man but few men art better than their parties and Mr. Taft's party stands for everything that la bad- not that everything it stands for Is bad, but whatever is r evil in the existing or proposed sys tem it is responsible or sponsor for. There are other considerations, J Vastly importanj. involved: (1) Thia has come to be too much a govern - tnent'eontrolled by money. The last election Was largely bought and there is a widespread belief that tha eleo tlun will be bought to-day. This thin will have to stop or honest, rep resentative government will come to an and. This la a good time to stop It, t (1) The administration has been too long in the hands of one party. This begets autocracy and corruption. Worst of all is the handing by .one i President of the offlc to a successor chosen by himself, and this is threat J enad to-day. Thia means a perpe tuation of a particular power, as in kingdoms and empires, and should not be permitted by free people. Mr. Beoaevelt, ws will say by way of 11- ' lustration, bequeaths the presidency V to Mr. Taft, who. after four or eight years, will bequeath l to another, as men do personal property or real es tate. This continued, as it has been ' begun, and as Mr. Nicholas Long- worth has undoubtedly suggested, will mean ultimately the death of our free institutions. These are serious subjects and we : refer to them not under the exclte '? ment of the last hours of a campaign but In coolness of blood and as mat j.tsrs which deserve the most aerlpus consideration. , Jn the causes above referred to and - -for many others which have been dls enssed in tbe columna from time ' to time we find overwhelming reasone ' for voting for the Democratic eleo ' toral ticket to-day. ' COLOJTEI, GRAVES' COMPANY. t'jWe reproduce here the language used a few daa ago by Mr. J. I Woods Merrill, of Kana City. In ten dering to Wm. R. Hearst lits reslgna ': tloB as national committeeman for Missouri of the Independence party: v ."Also, I do not wish my name connected -with a party whose attlliationa are o - 'Closely connected with other parties and " whose only aim Is to help to defeat Bryan. - Tart wanted Formkcr put out of business ? asd yo played the part m 'Remover,' and, with a grandstand play to keep up appearances, went alter Haskell with no ' proof of guilt, te down Bryan, and In my belief the Independence party receives ' campaign , money from Republican source. I was led to believe tha : Independence party's platform was to advocate the principles of Jefferson and - 14neota and to build up from the better cUuta troro all parties and ataad for the best intereeta of the common peqple and Dot affiliate with nor favor any party." Thia) Is the case against Hearst's Independence party the case for all who Intelligently love truth and fair ness. The Hearstite aggregation has tor some timo stood revealed as the merest Republican annex. It is a very embodiment of false pretence in r cUtlcal form. Cot John Temple Craves, vie presidential nominee, has i i friend who does not regret that ever let himself be lured Into such t reputable company. , :.t there ho -perfectly free voting v try precinct In rorth Carolina to - and every vote cast be honestly htf . .

In tern perament, in training," In habit of mind, tha two man, it Is asserted, are aa far apart a tha poles. Mr. Roose velt's principles may be itr. Taft's, but Mr. Roosevelt's "methods and in dividual cavorting never. Those hold ing such viows found them proclaim ed with more valor than discretion by ea-Oov. Frank 8. Black in his Car negie Hall speech. For an hour and a quarter, without once mentioning Mr. Ropsevelt'a name, Mr. Black sought to damn ths President with pointed praise of Mr. Taft. -"He has no traits which are erratic or un stable," said the orator, his eulogy of one unmistakably implying denuncia tion of the other; "he is the embodi ment of sense and candor. He is neither vainglorious nor showy, but the unbroken record of his manhood la one of substantial achievement There is not In his composition a sin gle grain of smartness, but those who know him do not dispute his great ness. He is neither quarrelsome nor boastful, but aa solid as the rocka" Utterances like these were greet ed by the audience with rival storms of cheers and hisses, so that a party rally in a doubtful State near the close of a presidential contest was dissolved into factional strife. Con sidering the relations between Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, the affair was remarkable In 'the extreme. Ameri can history before the politically notable year 1901 does not present to view anything quite like 1L Under the caption, "Successful Im migrants in the flouth," Mr. R. W. Vincent, managing editor of The Ob server, has an interesting and In structive article In the November number of The World's Work, Just to hand. It is tha story of the estab lishment and success of "five self- sustaining and flourishing colonies. with more than eight hundred agricul turists, and a sixth colony forming" the work of Mr. Hugh MaoRae, of Wilmington. It Is in subBtance the same narrative, in narrower compass. that Mr. Vincent told so well In The Observer some months ago, and must be, of large benefit to North Carolina, directing to the State, as it will, aa an inviting field for settlement, the at tention of many thousands of read ers. The recital is made attractively and much profit, in the way of at tracting immigration, and giving the State favorable advertising, Is cer tain to result from it. The Observer will do the very best It can to-night and to-morrow morn ing, to furnish the public the earliest and most complete election returns. It is duly impressed with a sense of Its responalMllty In the matter, and because it is so Impressed will have to ask Its friends who will not con strue the request aa an expression of lnhospitallty not to over-run Its working fprce on this important night which would be to obstruct their work and lower the quality of the service which It is hoped to render. Bad weather to-day in New Tork State, by holding down the Republican majority above New Tork City, would lender Democrats great service and might possibly decide the national election. Bat the government weather men announce generally fair weather for the whole country except In the extreme northwestern corner. We al most feel like accusing the govern ment weather men of pernicious ac tivity. In advising the support of the Democratic ticket w have of course been understood to mean all of it If we have said less, specifically, of the electoral and State ticket, than of the congressional, legislative and county -and we have this has been due to no disloyalty to them but be cause they are safe while this is not the case with all the others in all the districts and counties. The very last good man to come to the aid of the party through the agency 'of The Observer with a con tribution .to the Bryan-Kern cam paign fund was B. C. Moore. Forest City $100 It was a shame to take the money in the closing hour of the campaign but we took it nevertheless and sent it to Mr. Vanderford last evening.- No speech made In Charlotte during the campaign aroused mo much en thusiasm or furnished so many ele ments of entertainment aa that of Mr. Bickett last night," and bo other speaker held his audience together better. It was a captivating speech and of the sort that make votea, Mr. Bickett will certalnlr, welcome when he comes again.' J ' ' The Observer deplore the death of Capt W. H. Day, f - Raleigh, which occurred Saturday evening. He was an accomplished and lovable man and a lawyer of ability and dis tinction. The Raleigh bar ha been stricken within the past three month in three of its conspicuous member: Fablu H. Busbee, S. 0.' Ryan, end now Captala jar.

""There is now a very general agree ment,; aayv the Washington corres pondeat.of The Jfew Tork Journal of Commerce." ""upon the belief that the election wlH be, a turning point In contemporary railroad policy and that as aoen as it I over rate Increases will be Inaugurated in a good many directions. It Is known that the Taft managers were eager to have the rate advances held np last inmmer so much so that there were long and anxious conferences on the subject at Hot Springs and elsewhere. The out come was the holding np of many of the Increases so far as the open filing of tariffs was concerned, though the surreptitious raising of .the rates went on In the ways already Indi cated. The shrewdest observers here will be greatly surprised if there la not a large batch of rate sheets show ing higher tariffs filed with the com mission Immediately affer election re turns are counted." The people of this State will wait with a rood deal of Interest to see whether the "good many directions" Include them. They are sufficiently Impatient now under discriminative treatment so gross that no excuse for It whatever has even been attempted in any responsible quarter. They ex pect rate Increases, if made in this sec tion, to work toward equalization by exempting them. If the policy of treating them as fit only for ex ploitation from without ia carried into the Increased schedules, they will en tertain a very natural resentment At all events, important rate in creases are reserved "until after ye election." Whether or not Mr. Taft is elected, the administration may be relied upon to testify in a practical manner its appreciation of this highly considerate postponement With regard to the rear admiral and the naval commander who par ticipated as marshals in the New Tork Republican parade Saturday, The Ob server la advised by competent au thority that one is a retired officer while the other Is connected only with the naval militia. Neither 1 in the active aervlce. Charlotte' principal regret In con nection with the campaign Just closed. Is that it was denied the opportunity to hear Senator overman. The num ber of his friends and admirers here Is limited only by the number of Democrats in the town. The silent vote is the thing. It will be necessary to wait until to night before hearing deflrxr.ely. There will probably be a whoop then. The question in process of settle ment this day is from which pair of candidates the smile shell com oft Take care of the precinct and th. counties; dlatricts and States will take care of themselves. Now Indeed is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.

A UNION NATIVE. Introduced in happy fashion by Mr. Ej,T.

Born and reared at Monroe, he had been reared with an abiding faith in the Union county 'possum, the birthplace of Andrew Jackson and the Mecklenburg Decla ration of Independence. , He has on thing in common with the gander which ha played no amall part tn the present campaign. That noble fowl at the first opportunity given him by the tightwad Into whose midst he was placed, made a noble break for Charlotte, thereby enshrin ing hi name among tnos ox tne ov era of liberty. Expressing gratification ' at the presence of ladiee, Mr. Bickett said that "If a good thing to have them en our' aide.
