Several of the Southern paper are a to argue In behalf of the nomi nation of a Southern man for Presl Ant In Hi J. For the present we beg to be ecud from participation In that movement. The national party can make no plan with safety until Mr. Bryan announce hi purpose. If It be to offer for the nomination , or to place himself in a receptive position, saying for Instance, that he will not be a candidate but that the party can have his servl in that capacity if It wa.nl them, then no one else need run; and even If he renounce hi ambition unequivocally the bent of hi mfhd will have to be ascertained before It can be determin- ad whether It will be worth while to jwt out a tlcktr not By thl latter It to meant to say that If he Is not to be cordial toward a future nominee - the candidacy of such person is fore- doomed. The enthusiasm of many of - his follower partake of the charac ter of a religion. 6ome of them . rouM rather have seen a Republican elected President at any time within Ihe paat twelve years than that Mr. Bryan should not have been nominat ed and some of them, individuals and newspapers, have already declared for him for 1912. Such Is the fidelity of some of his supporters, and any one who recognises the strength and widespread prevalence of this warship must recognize along with' It the fVc , that the future of the Democratic party, that la to aay as an organisa- : tion which may hope to win, 1 ab solutely dependent upon Mr. Bryan's will. If that will would be other than unreservedly friendly to a can didate other than himself, the South should not want to see a Southern man prepared for the slaughter. The Washington Post truly say that "the fate of the Democratic party 1 In the keeping of William Jevilinrs Bryan and never so completely so a at thl moment." It la idle, therefore, to make plan now for the "future, and will be Idle until It is learned what Mr Bryan Is to say and do. The party achieved unity during the recent campaign and came out "of It united, in so far as the pre and leaders of Us diverse ele ments could have it so. We are not Of those who phure the belief that Tammany wa unfaithful Cut there r thousands of rennrrat whom the party organization cannot control and many thousands of these fell away from Mr. Bryan last week, w1tlls of the Independent vote, the Vote which away all presidential . elections, he received practically none. But this 1 Incidental to the present J discussion. The question la whether the regulars will stay In line for an other stand-up and arrangements made for the next campaign before thl vital fact is ascertained may all have to be recast. SOW THE IICTTKR WAS FORGED. l la the trial of the man Branden ' burg for forging a letter purporting i to have been dictated and algned by r J. Cleveland shortly before hi death ,.om very valuable testimony -has 'i tonne from two women stenographers. s Brandenburg, these witnesses state, - vffaT them the long since indisputably fake lettf-r to copy from his own handwriting. I!e finished the com- position of the letter in their office, asking at intervals If they did not ' think the style very 'much like Mr. Cleveland 'e. Since no name ai at tached to the manuscript or copy, the dead statesman's signature must hare beea forged later. This story would ' trace almost from its Inception the literary fraud which Brandenburg, after two refusals ia other quarters, managed to palm off on The New York Timet, and which the RepubU- cam campaign managers circulated 'without the least accompanying hint of It . doubtful authenticity. For success la temporarily half-deceiving Mrs. Cleveland and Executor Hast ings tho forger's Impudent assurance appears to have te responsible..

Colonel Watts rsou. pt Tha - Louis ville Courier-Journal, having excited ly denounced all protection i as - aa oonomo jjollcy and .preathed abso lata free trade, The Petersburg Index Appeal takes his ease In hand. Ha departs front the straight path," ad monlshes The Index-Appeal, "when he denounces all protectionist aa well as the doctrine of ' protection, because the Republican party, by ex cessive tariff rates, baa twisted that doctrine out of Its original shape and Mjmade it Che mean of making some, men and corporations excessively ncn at the expense of many more men." We quote further: "The doctrine Itself ts aa old aa the first Congress tinder the constitution. It has done much for ail the people of the united States. It wfll do more perpetually. That It ha been turned from Its proper mis sionthat It la being shamefully misused now Is true beyond doubt. As a political teoesslty the Republican party will al ways misuse It lor the Inordinate enrich ment of the few. But there Is no need that the Bepublloaa party should be per mitted te do this. Men like Colonel Wat- tersea help them to do It. Irreconcilable fanatics on the subject of free trade, like the colonel, unable to see the virtue in anything but the object they admire. keep the Northern mind all the time ex cited with a belief that the whole South, and the Democratic party, if In power. would discard at cnoe a doctrine upon which to-day, to a large extent, rest the greatest interests or tne country nexx to those of the agriculturists. Tb col onel cannot see that the stream made muddy by the Republicans might be made pure and be of benent not oniy u tne factory and mill and mine owner, but to all. With the colonel nothing goes but free trade, and free trade spell Demo cratic defeat and opportunities for stiU further Republican perversion of the doc trine or principle of protection. Tho Index-Appeal might, further, have demanded to know how the col one) would raise the money for car rying on the government Cither we must pay duties upon articles like tea and coffee or upon articles like cotton oloth. Imports must be taxed, and the only question Is whether the taxes shall or shall not be laid in such a manner as to protect home Industries. The colonel, by distinct Implication, say not. Here at least nine-tenths of the American people will take Issue with him. Mo large political organization In this country has ever stood for such extreme doc trine. The colonel confesses the use and the abuse. We are heartily In agreement with our Petersburg con temporary In this matter. HOW IT COMES ABOUT. It happens not Infrequently, as In Maryland last week, that the electoral vote of a State 1 divided, and thl naturally puzxles a good many people A the candidates for elector run not for themselves but only a represen tatives of others, vlx: presidential and vice presidential candidates, there jla no sound reason for a variation in the votes of the candi dates for elector on the same -ticket; and people wonder how it comes about This Is how: A very popular man may be a candidate for elector and men may vote for him as a personal compliment, scratching an other name on the ticket. Or there may be another man on the ticket, an unpoplar man, of whom some sag to themselves, in the abundance of, their feeling: "Well. I wouldn't vote for him for anything." Off his name goes. "Thus one runs ahead or another behind and in States where the Australian ballot Is in use errors occur in marking the names, which is another cause of variation. It often happens, as Is seen, that at an elec tion in a State which Is close the popularity or unpopularity of an In dividual candidate for elector, or er rors In marking ballots, may cause a spilt of the vote of the State In the electoral oollege. There will be witnessed, we dare say, a difference In the votes cast for the candidates for elector on each of the two principal tickets voted In North Carolina last week. We recall with amusement a quite spirited quarrel between two prominent citi zens of this State many year ago, both very'valn, who Were candidate nn the Democratic electoral ticket One led It, and was not slow In calling on a newspaper friend to bring the fact out, which he did. The other got mad at his more popular colleague for "blowing" about hi greater vote and mad also at the reporter for the un due publicity given the fact. ' It la not too late. to compliment the law officers of Concord and Cabarrus county for their vigilance nor the people of town and county upon their self-restraint and good behavior from the time of the arrest of the negro criminal. Will Graham, and through the proceeding of last week. They did well. The people, naturally In censed, bore themselves, nevertheless, like the enlightened, law-respecting citizens they are, and carry better consciences and feel better for having done so. The wretched criminal will experience the frightful torture of looking certain death full In the face for six weeks and then be hanged by the mandate of the law. His crime will have been full expiated and no man will have on his hands or con science the responsibility for his blood. "I went down to the Democratic headquarters last night," wrote, the day before election, a round man vouched for by The Charleston News and Courier as an intelligent observer. "Everything thore appeared to be de moralized, with nobody caring kw the election turned out" Of course. with hope of success almost exti net. the men at Democratic headqutter might ho excused soma little laxity, bat for Weeks before whoever would eeuld have sa that' tha campaign management wa not la tha ablest net of hands Imaginable, j V ;; . v$ The last 4eu of The' Commoner.

It to most frequently used of clothing so badly "frayed" a to he unfit for further wear. , "Wort to a f rasale" perhaps the terribly bard times of the civil war and the long years fol lowing helped In making this expres sion universally current: among South erners. A correspondent of The New York Sun recalls that Just before Appomattox Oeneral Oordon sent General Lee word that he had fought his corps "to a fraaslc." Contribut ing not a little to. the popularity of the word waa Its early enlistment for use In another connection. This , use most of ns will remember from child hood. President Roosevelt's mother was a Southern woman, and on more than one occasion when he acted the part of a bad small-boy she very Ukely threatened to "have your father-wear you to a fraaile." So when the President wished in his Joy to pic ture a thoroughly used up Democratic party he had the precise term readily at command. t Is certainly high time that the people of the North were becoming acquainted with the good old word, "fraszle." It may be observed as a matter of some interest that Abram J. Pothler, Governor-elect of Rhode Island. Is a cotton manufacturer, and Gvernor elect Eben S. Draper, of Massachu setts, Is a textile machinery man. There are now, and almost always have been, -representatives of the Eastern cotton mill Interests in Con gress. It may be further remarked, before qultUng the subject that the Representative-elect for the fifth North Carolina congressional flatrlct 1 a cotton manufacturer. Judge Adam will Hot tand for re oi.tion mm chairman of the Republi can 8tate executive committee. It must be conceded that he managea the recent campaign for hi party with ability and tact and that hli pre-election forecast were accurate enough, as demonstrated by results, to show that he knew what he was talklpg about. i How would It do for the national Democratic party at it next conven tion to fflopt a Its platform that of the Palmer and JBuckner convention of 1S9? There never was a finer one. Ami Georgia only gave Col. John Temple Graves eighty-five votes. O unnatural OeorglaV THE FIFTH DISTRICT STATUS.
