OUR RALEIGH LETTER.
JHE PROSPECT FOR DEUOCRAT
IC SUCCESS BRIGHT;
The News Frdn the State and
Nation Very Encouraging:: to
Democrats The People's
Eyes Being: Opened. -1 O-i
Raleigh;; NC.iSept. 22The
progress of 'tho campaign for,', the
past week in State and' - Nation has
not been merely satisfactory from the
stand point of the Democrats, but the
tide has set m so irrle'sistibly with the
party that IXeraocrata everywhere
are jubilant.-It 13 an' -open- secret
that the propects ot a large i majority
in this State have been I'Teryj mnch
enhanced by the enthusiasm thatfbas
gotten into "the . National campaign
and the practical certainty of Bryan's
election, if the election should ;' take
place at this tirne,as, nine oat of- teri
well informed Democrats ! view -"the
situation. .rThe only feaVbf itWe
salt now Heard expressed, is the ; old
trick of the Republicans ',of , pouring
oat a large corruption fund . at the
last, and of trying", itoj "scare? ; the
'country away from;, Bryan But
money cannot sweep, back a tide, and
the onlyjgcare anywhere in -evidence
ap to the present time is in the, camp
of the enemy. , Mr. Taf t is .understood
to 89t up a scare-cro wdast : week by
reminding the tountry of Mr. Bryans
speech in which he preferred to': the
uvemuitsin, owuereuip oi : rinroaus.
i - f ' "i -l L
Bat Mr. Bryan" cut the ground from
under him by quoting ;both Mr. .Taf t
and IrRoosevelts as . Having gone
just as far in that direction as he had,
tfiree of them-having said at " dif
ferent, times that government owner
sjbtip would ultimately-result if- gov
ernment regulation should .-fait. In
stead of tne Republicans being ' able
to care" the business men of --the
coun try away Ax omf Mr.:'. Bryan i this
time, it is the opinion of-.thiscorres-pondent
, that business i generally q is
going to regard AIn - Bryant , simple
plan of guaranteed security t of bank
deposits as, being decidedly the most
valuable offering by either or all of
the parties to stability of business.'
It has gradually "soaked into - the
mind of the business world Hhat this
is also a guarantee against panic and;
the only one that is offered. , s ?
The developments of the past week
in $few York, where all factions " of
the Party hunted io"" nominating a
ticket which the entire press1 of the
State concedes -to be strong, ? headed
by the present De mocratio ; .Lieuten-ant-Governbrj
Chanler; hW improved
the ah eady bright prospects of i car
- rying that State;: while the only; term
that can describe the situation in CMr
Taf t's own State, Ohio, is "; the word 1
which the Republicans : have heard;
so often this yeav-PANiC.' The
situation 3 in ; that State " from : the
standpoint of the Republicans was
very troublesome to them,' and" their
Bituation pan easily be imagined sine dt
the reconciliation between Messrs.'
Taf t and Foraker was closely follow
ed by the nauseating .disclosures of
Senator Foraker's intimate relations
with the Standard Oil' Go. ,;ad : the
payment of large sums of money to
him by th6 Vice-president - of that
company since he has been repre
senting Ohio in the Senate.' -A few
more disclosures of this ' character
will make a certificate of election to
the Senate "prima facia evidence."
Mrf Kitchen will this week : com
plete his conquest of the West. He
has had the most enthusiastic recep
tions at every point,; and; has found
but one faction: 5-Next week h will
take the Southern border ; counties,
and then throughout the East. y
t Another feature of .; last wee k'g
campaign' which has pleased the par
ty throughout the State was the nr:
nificent speech f Hon. "Cyrus B.
, Watson t Winston kst Friday night.
- Ifo one expected anvtMn p!? Knt
loyal support trom lMr nidi Kilwrt
f DemK;racy; but the ra-ed fores
ith which he expressed himself in
impromptu speech, in his anneal " f Ar
Party harmony,' was particular fortu
nate and was a reminder of his best
efforts in the past.' His. host of ad
mirers in the State regret that ; he is
n2itf sufficient health vto ' makea
general canvass. ' V - - M; F. P. " :

said: -'; : -1 : -; , - '
. Now,' is there anything this even

would raake a man who was a Dem

differ frequently on certain questions
with my party, but : in the main, I
have never disagreed with iU prin

such a manner that lifelong frunda
