SlIUFORD. 4th 7th LKT I'M UMTK ON llltTAN We wish to elect Wm. J. Bryan President of the United States. Hia election is needed by the people and it is demanded by justice. We sin cerely desire it f.r mre reasons than one, but chief among these are the clear facts that he is in full sympathy with the people, and that he has refused to vote a party ma chine ticket as long as any Populist haa refused to do so. Bryan votd for Weaver for President in 1S9'2. In 189 1 he opposed the policy of the Democratic State convention of Ne braska and declined to support Hon. Frank I r?ine, who was nominated for Supreme Court Justice by the Democratic party. Instead of that he gave his strong support and wide influence to the Populist nominee for the sme position, Judge Maxwell, and Maxwell was elect id! This gave great strength to the Peoples Party ia Nebrtfka and finally- led to the election of Gov ernor Holcombe, a PoruLlsT. We can stand such a record as that. It is as good a record as any Popu list can show, for the first vote cast for the Peoples Party in North Carolina was in 1892! We do not care by what political name Bryan is known. By his works we know him. His eloction will b? a signal victory tor tho Peoplos Party. The time has come when methods which will give the greatest support for Bryan must not stand in the way of giving them that support. We may not always be able to achieve a great end by pursuing a course which is entirely pleasant and atisfactory in every way. But if that end be imperatively necessary, and the achievement of it demands a procedure at variance with our opin ions and inclinations, then opinions and inclinations must be relegated to the reir and that course must be pursued which leads to the grtatest probability of success. There is lit tle that is sweet without its accom panying concomitant of bitter in this life. Few, if indeed, any great ends have been reached by traveling fbwery and agreeable paths. Vic tory is all the grander and nobler for having been won at the expense of self-sacrifice and self-denial; but if defeat should come after sacri fices and denials are made, then those who went through the strug gle can have, at least, the comfort ing assurance that it was through no fault or lagging of theirs that the goal was not reached. We do not think the arrange ment entered into by the committees of the Peoples Party and Democrat ic party, published elsewhere, needs any explanation. It stands for itself and boldly proclaims the purpose for which it was made. We hope, we believe, yes, we actually feel that it will be supported by every true indi vidual reformer in each party rep resented in the agreement. There may be some, who have not ignored their party prejudices, who' will in terpose objections. We beg, wj pry these men, if there be any su jb, not to be hasty. Too much is at stake, two great issues are involved, too many millions are agonizingly pleading for some change, for some relief, to be interfered with by a per sonal prejudice or strict party fealty. The eye dims, the heart swelb al most bursts with anxiety when the bare possibility of a def eat of the people by the nowr of gold at the coming election presents itself. Such defeat if possible only through a failure or refusal of the people to stand shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, hearts sympathizing with each other, minds bent on accom plishing the same end and even a faint cuggestion that there may be such a failure inipires an emotion akin to a beseeching, wailing plea "Oh Cod, may the people for once forget selfishness and prejudice; may they once determine that for a time, at least, man's inhumanity to man shall cease, and that there shall te one grand, glorious, successful ef fort of the people for people and country. Yes, let us unite on this matter. It is one on which we can unite. Let the spirit of '70 prevail. There will be tories among us, spies in the camp, perhaps some traitors in the ranks, but all can be overcome if we can think of country, people and home. LKT UKMOCKATS CHKW THIS A Mil ILK. We think we can make a state ment here and then ask a question that will shut tao gas apertures of some of those ever suailing Demo crats. The statement is thi.?: We have had for the past two years four Topulist Congressmen from tbi.i State whose record for financial reform cannot be surpas sed. It was well known that they would be nominated, and that they would keep up the fight they had be gun. We Bay this was known. Past records will not permit us to say that it could be known of Demo crats: Well, when nominating time came on, the Democrats who are almost beating the record in f-houting for silver now, went to work and nomi nated men in every district repre sented by these Pof ulist silver Con gressmen. They knew they could not find men more trustworthy on tho silver issue than the Populists, but that made no difference. They put up Democrats wno did not know and did not care what they were six months ago against these silver men. The Populists didn't caro and said nothing about it. Then tamo a time when the Popu lists ventured to nominate some of these men against Democrats, and Great Gunjs! what a screeching, snarling and disgusting drivel these Dfcas indulged in ! ! They howl that the Populists are trying to di vide the silver vote and elect a gold bug. It never seemed to have oc curred to the snapping yaps that they were doing something to divide the silver vote when they nominated Democrats in districts represented by Populists. Now, we want to know how and why a Democrat can think it is such a holy and righteous thing to nomi nate a D m against a Pop, and then denounce as an infamous fraud, the nomination of a Pop against a Dem? Chew on this awhile, demmys, and see if it will "chaw." If you think the Pops are trying to divide the sil ver vote when they nominated their own men, why don't you rise to the height of a glorious and honest pa triotism and throw your strength to tho Pops and thus prevent their wicked scheme for dividing the sil ver vote. In the language of King Drvld, SUh! VflKT HAVKNT PONE IT. A big boast recently made by some of our Democratic friends was that they had thrown from them that Eastern and Northern element that had dominated the party in the in terest of the money power for so many years. Well, have thev Did they throw off the eastern Democracy of Maine ? How about N w York ! That State sent a so.'id gold delega tion to Chicago. The delegation came very near bolting the conven tion because it declared for silver. But they are still in the ring. Oulv last week the Democrats held another convention in New Yotk They de clared f,r Bryan and silver and then nominated a goldbag for Governor. This is a fact ! No, that eastern Democracy is still vrith the gang'and will still coutrol that gang as long as the gang is a gang. Thf various labor organizations of cnicago rave circulated a petition asking for a joint debate between Mr. Bryan and McKinley of the free coin age ispue. Thy state that an early settlement of this question is cf great importance to all wage-earners. lm metiting upon this the St. Louis He public remarks that "here is McKin le's opportunity." It sajs that he is asked to give the class which he sajs is made up of those whom his paternal policy is calculaUd to attract most the benefit of his views." And then the Republic declares that if McKinley de clines the invitation the public may justly inferthat he "is afraid he can not prove before any intelligent aud ience the good effects which the coun try is to gain from the continuation of a policy which has already resulted in so many evils. Secondly, that he dreads lest his own financial record may be cast up against Mm in public debaU." It is understood that the Republi can gold managers will make a greater effort to carry the vote of North Caro lina than that of any of the other Southern States. It is known that a very large amount of money has al ready been sent to the State, and at a re.rent meeting of the committee an other large appropriation to be used during the last week of the campaign was voted. It is also understood that the gold men are more interested in netting a gold Senator from North Carolina than any result from the State even more desirous of getting this than of getting the electoral vote. We present in this issue the Stanly Matthews resolution which commit ted both the Republican and Democra tic parties to bot h gold and silver in 167S. The resolution still stands, but at the dictation of the gold power it has been grossly violated by both the Democratic and Republican parties Tor the last ten years. This is one evi dence of the "money power" which some cheerful idiots declare does not exist. FOR UNITING ON WH, I BRYAN. Co Operation ofallForcei Favor ing Free Silver and Financial Reform. THREE PARTIES TOGETHER Wlw fopalUU, fire IMinoerata mn& Out National SllrarlUon The SAtU Electoral Ticket Kow Let Everybody Uam I'p a Cast On Grand United Vote For The Only Man Kver Mominated By Three Parties. At last, there is an arrangement which it is hoped will be accepted and supported by all the silver and reform forces in North Carolina in good faith and with telling effect. It may not be what some would de sire, but under existing conditions it is perhaps the best arrangement that could be made. It gives all silver men an opportunity to vote for the same man, for the same thing, and this is, about as . much as could be arranged for under any conditions. It will be remembered that soon after the National Peoples Party convention, the Democratic State Lxecutive Committee met in Raleigh and adopted a resolution embodying a proposition to co-operate with the Peoples Party on the State elec toral ticket on a basis of six electors for Bryan and Sewall and five for Bryan and Watson. This proposition was met by a counter proposition from the Popu lists to co-operate with the Demo crats on National, State and eounty tickets "all down the line." The Democratic committee did not act on this proposition, but replied to it by repeating their first proposition to co-operate on the electoral ticket. This proposition has stood for a re ply since that time. When the State committee met on the 0th inst., the matter of arrang ing the electoral ticket was referred to the Central Committee. Corres pondence was had with the nomi nees of the Peoples party for elec tors in the various districts, and in formation was had from them that tbey would willingly abide by the action of the Central Committee formulating a ticket looking to the union of silver and financial reform forces on a Bryan electoral ticket. This generous and patriotic action of the electors made matters easy for the Central Committee's work.and it was able to agree to the arrange ment as given below. The Central Committee was called to meet in Raleigh on the 21st inst. Hal W. Ayer, chairman; S. Otho Wilson, A. S. Peace, J. B. Lloyd, and Dr. Cyrus Thompson. W. K. Pigford was the only member ab sent, he being imperatively detained at home by exacting official duties as clerk of the Superior court. After some consultation the fol lowing letter was sent to the Demo cratic committee. Hon. Clement Manly, Chrirman Democratic Executive Committee: Dear Sir: I am authorized by the State Central Committee of the Peoples Party to ask your consider ation to an amendment to the prop osition of your State Committee for a basis of co-operation on the State electoral ticket between the Demo cratic party and the Peoples party. We are sincerely desirous of ef fecting some arrangement by which a compact and satisfactory union of all the silver forces in the State mr.y he consummated. Among these forces three distinct organizations ate represented in this State,viz: the Democratic party, the National Sil ver party, and the Peoples party. It is our opinion that each organiza tion should be represented on a co operative ticket which has the above named purpose in view, and to that end we beg to submit the following proposition to wit: That the Democratic party through its committee name one elector-at-large and four district electors. That the Peoples party, through its committee, name one elector-at-large and four district electors. That one elector be given to the National Silver party. We most earnestly commend this proposition to your consideration, and sincerely hope it may meet your approval and adoption. If it shall, we are ready to confer with you con cerning the details of the arrange ment. Yours, very respectfully, (Signed ) Hal W. Ayer. Chairman. In reply to this proposition the Democratic committee auoptt d the following resolutions: Whereas, The National Silver party in North Carolina has in a c- uimunication of its State Chair man, dated the 19th inst., and on several previous occasions asked that for the sake of harmony among all the silver forcts in our State, the said Silver party be allowed rep resentation on the electoral ticket, and whereas the said National Sil ver party has nominated Messrs Bryan and Sewall for President and vice President. Resolved, That this committee accord to tho said Silver party one of the six eleetors reserved to the Democratic party in the propo sition now pending with the Peoples Party. And whereas, the Peoples Party throughtheir committee has since accepted the proposition of this com mittwe of 31st of July an.l 10th of August to accord tbe Peoples Party five electors on a joint electoral tick er, therefore, Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the chairman of this committee to confer with a similar committee of the Peoples Party for the purpose of arranging the said j jint ticket and that the re sult of such arrangement be report ed to this committee Wednesday at 9 o'clock. Clement Manly, Thos. J Jarvis, J. R. Webster, F. M Simmons, E. J. Hale. The gentlemen composing the Dem ocratic conferences committee and the members of the State central committee then met at the Park Ho tel at 11 o'clock at night and jointly adopted the following electoral tick et, which was officially announced at 1:30 o'clock. electors-at-large.

Politicians of all creeds have been awaiting this con vention eagerly, because of tbe anom alous situation arising out of tbe spir ited content between Connecticut Democrats who are arrayed against one another along tbe line of tbe gold and silver standards. Tbe following is tbe ticket nominated: Governor, Joseph B. Sargent; Lieutenant-Governor, S. A. Crandall; Secretary of State, Homer S. Cumming ; Treasurer, Adrian P. Koss: Comptroller, Edward M. Ripler. After recees the platform was re ported and adopted.

Thf Populist na tional platform v. as indorsed. Dr. Crowe, in a speech, said the Demo crats could not find a man in their own party for President, and had to take one from tfle Populists who had voted for Weaver. He scored Sewall severely, and declared for allegiance to the Bryan and Watson ticket. -I- Bill For Bryan. Washington, Sept. 17. Senator Da vid B. Hill intends soon to announce that he will support Bryan and Sewall. This is authoritative. It is vouched for by no less a person than the Sena tor himself. He has written to friends here that after long consideration of what his course as a Democrat ought to be he has concluded that, bad as the Chicago platform is, and unacceotable as the ticket is in many respectn, it is nis auty to accept the decision of the national convention and support its candidates. In doiner this the Senator is emphatic in his reiteration of the speech he made in the Chicago con vention in opposition to the doctrineJ iv was ucitrruimeu iu put lOrltl as lie party faith. Senator Hill distinctly states that be does not withdraw nor depart from the language or the senti ments of the speech of protest be made at that time. New York Democratic State Convention.

Elliot F. Danforth has been elected chairman of the State committee and Frank Campbell will be chosen Na tional Committeeman in New Y"ork next Tuesday, to which place and time the State committee adjourned to-day. He would have been chosen to-day, but National Chairman Jones has not yet formally notified the com mittee of William Sheehan's resigna tion. That resignation was conveyed to Chairman Jones to-day.

Titus, of Buffalo; Chairman State Commit tee, Elliot F. Danforth, of Chenango; National Committeeman, Frank Camp bell, of Steuben. The silver plank in the platform which was adopted by the Democratic State convention today reads : "The Democratic party of the State of New York, in convention assem bled, unreservedly indorses the plat form adopted by the Democratic party at the national convention held in Chicago, on July 7, 1896; cordially ap proves the nominations there made; pledges to William J. Bryan and Ar thur Sewall its hearty and active sup port, and declares as its deliberate judgment that never in the history of the Democratic party has a platform been written which embodied more completely the interests of the whole people, as distinguished from those who seek legislation for private bene fit, than that given to the country by the National Democratic convention of 1896." Demand Caffery's Bealgnallon. New Orleans, La., Sept. 15. The Democratic convention of the Third district, was held to-day at Morgan City. It nominated Hon.

Mr. Dixon decline to receive any compensation for bis service, or even to have his expenses paid out of cam paign funds, and says the principles involved in this campaign are o mo mentous that he feels it Ms duty to tbe country to take the stump for sound money, notwithstanding be has always been a I democrat.

There seems to have been some discussion while Chairman Jones was in the city about overcom ing the difficulty "of two Vice-Presidential candidates. Senator Butler called attention to Watson's Osceola speech, in which he stated that he did not wish to stand between Bryan and victory, but Senator Butler does not believe, from all one can gather, that Watson would be willing to withdraw unless Sewall agrees to do tbe same. He cays he has heard nothing of plac ing Judge Clark, of North Carolina, on the ticket as a substitute. Wash ington Post, Sept. lSth. SEWALL'S STAR SINKS. George F. VTaahburn, Chairman of tbe Western Branch of the ropullut 1'arly. Saya the Only Way to Unite the Mirer Forces la to Snbatltnta Wataon for bewail. Chicago, Sept. 15. George P. Wash burne, chairman of the Western branch of the Populist National committee, when interviewed on the subject of the Maine election today, made the following statatement : "The results are just what we ex pected. Maine is my native State, and I knew the sentiment there well. The vote has no more significance than Ar kansas' reply to Vermont, except to emphasize how much of a burden the Democracy lias in its Vice Presiden tial candidate." "Do you think Mr. Sewall should withdraw?" "I certainly do, and the State of Maine alosnys so. I agree with Tom Keea mat vewairs star sinks and W atsoirs nrn.' The voice of Maine does not indicate any mismanagement of the campaign. It is no tet of Bryan's popularity, or even of the sil ver issue. There is an undercurrent of feeling which pervades the nation in support of tbe claims of Mr. Wat son's mends that he should be recoe nized. There is force to the statement that Mr. Sewall is no more our candi date than is Mr. Ilobart. There is also significance in the attitude of the middle-of-the-road men who fcay 'No w atson, no Bryan.' WILL "I know ATTACK HIS HKCOKI these men. as well as the Republicans, have accumulated amass or evidence against 3Ir. Sewall, which they propose to make public, and which may force the Democratic party to a defense of Mr. Sewall's record during the closing days of the cam paign, but so long as the issue can be kept upon silver, Mr. Bryan as a standard bearer of the allied forces, can keep the enemy on the run, and the Republicans realize this. "Therefore, failing to win on princi ple, I believe the trump card will be to show in doubtful States the incon sistency of Mr. Sewall's record, and how much of a misfit he is on the Dem ocratic ticket. "It is possible for him to become tbe hero of the campaign by rising above personal ambition and declaring that the silver cause must win. If, on the otberhand, be insists on continuing, and the attack on him should result in Bryan's defeat, he would be held re sponsible by an indignant people, and would he scorned and hated as the most unpopular man in America. Mr. Sewall cannot be forced eff the ticket It would be better for him to remain on than to retire in a way that would do bis party injury, but he could de clare in a patriotic way that the cause of silver lies nearer to his heart than personal advancement.
