irresioVnt M'Kinlev in bis speech
la Iowa last we k called attention to
the fact that this country was put on
the ptoM standard undsr the Admini
stration of Orover Cleveland by the
passage of the act to repeal the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman act,
and stated that he intended to keep
haconntrv there, where Mr. Cleve

It will be remembered that there

that mn v of these same Democratic

Congrussmen and Senators are still
inofllce and are now pretending to

supporters of .Bryan. The present

ii i L . . ii. I
oowei: while iinsom aaa meeauor
of the Nowsand Observer were at
h.t nrii,il on the othnr
side with Cleveland and the gold
ring. Lot it also be remembered
that tho present Chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, one Mr. oimmons, who is
now a candidato for United States
Kflnfitnr. was also an office holder
under Mr. Orover Cleveland, and at
that critical ftriod was aeain8t
Senator Vance aun standing square-
ly with Kansom and Cleveland in
.nnnnr tu Jnftmnna h-m.
Not ouiy that, but just before the
last national convention
which
nominated liryan, tbis same man
Simmons, who was Ransom's cheif
lieutenant aud ballot box stuffer, I
Diiv nut .n interview Ravinrr that
North Carolina endorsed the record
of Qover Cleveland, and would send
a delegation to the national conven
tion to support his position. .This
is the same Mr. Simmons who now
pretends to be for Bryan and silver.
This is the came Mr. Simmons who
in the last campaign as chairman of
the Democratic State machine,
, , , aat
official circular that if his marine
was put into power that there would
be no scheme to disfranchise any-
n .1,r,nnn ..! .a li.ra ni
w
hypocrites every person who made
the charge. This is the same Sim-
mons who broke his pledges as soon
as the election was over, and who is
now by the same kind of falsehood
trying to fool the people into voting
for a disfranchising scheme which
will disfranchise as many poor white
voters as It will negro voters.
This is the same Simmons who
has in the past stolen elections, and
who got the last legislature to pass
the most infamous and thieving
election law ever yet passed by any
State machine, and who is now
organizing a Dana oi Dauot dox
stutters to steal enough votes next
August to pass the disfranchising
amendment it he should fail to
fool enough voters by his various
means of deception. The people
know this man Simmons. His
political record has been crooked,
and the people have found him out.
They have been fooled too many
times already by bim to be fooled
by bim again. lie knows this, and
this is why he is getting ready to
attempt to steal the next election.
He knows that the ma j rity of the
voters will never support his dis
franchising scheme even if they
thought he was telling the truth,
and he knows that hey have abun
dant cause not to take him at hie
wcrd again. He knows that the
people of the State will not support
and put in tffice ballot box staff rs
and perjurers. He knows that th?y
intend to vote against him and his
machine with a large majority. This
is why he has framtd such an elec
tion law, hoping to be able to steal
. more votes than the size of the ma
jority that an indignant people wiU
pile up against h?m. Mr. Simmous
and hia machine of ballot box stut
ters may take notice that the people
are more opposed to ballot box
theives than they are to chicken
theives or sheep theives, neither
will the people allow such characters
to steal their votes. The people are
on their guard. Eternal Vigilence
is the price of liberty
THE
VERDICT OF A
BOARD.
DEMOCRATIC
Our readers will remember the
howl raised a few months since by
certain Democratic newspapers over
alleged cruelty to convicts on the
State farms. It will be remembered
that this howl was raised by tbe very
machine newspapers that ' endorsed
the murdering in cold blood of the
innocent voters at the last election
whose only crime was that they
wonld not vote forthe Simmons ma
ehine. Bat these same papers pro
fess to have their bowels of pity and
compassion stirred for the convicts
who had not only Wen charged with
crime, bnt who had .been tried and
convicted of felonies and who bad
thereby forfeited to the State their
rio-ht to vote. Ttev said it was a
- -f m
disgrace to civilirtion for snci
cr minals to be made to work in cold
w-ather and be whipped for
iisobeying orders, etc. Yet i
was tnese same machine cewt paper;
'bat a few months ag thought i
was all right for free ciiizns who
bad committed no crime aud who
had paid their taxes to be shot like
dogs, simply because they attempted
to exercise their constitutional right
to vote against the billot-box stuff
ing machine.
But what has happened! The Dem
ocratic Biard of Directors, elected
by the last legislature to manage the
penitentiary, have just bt Id a meet
ing to investigate the charger
against certain fusion cmeials for
alleged cruelties, and have found

THE REASON WHY
The framers of the amendment
hav all along declared that if the
fifth section known as the grand
father clause should fail before the
Supreme Court that the whole amend
ent would fail. It has been charged
however, that tbe educational quali

that with that stricken out tbe
educational qualification would still
remain if in a separate paragraph.
This would leave the whites on the
8ame foot,?g with he blacks; and
there can be no other reason why
the framers of this proposed const!
tutional amendment should separate
these sections than that this ip ex
actly what they want done. This is
the opinion expressed by outsiders

Mr. Bryan has refused to endorse
the Goebel election law. We think
Mr. Bryan made a mistake to go to
Kentucky at all nnder the circum
stances; but, be it said to his credit,
that having gone, he had too much
honesty and courage to endorse an
infamous thieving election law like
the Goebel law of Kentucky and the
Simmons law of Norlh Carolina. At
one of his speakings, ex-Governor
Browne, who was the last Democrat
ic Governor of Kentucky, but who
has denounced the Goebel election
law as not only being unfair, but in
tended to debauch the ballot box,
asked Mr. Bryan the square question
whether or not be favored the Goe
bel election law. Mr. Bryan, before
a public audience, refused to give it
his endorsement, but attempted to
let Goebel down easy by saying ht
had not come to Kentucky to discuss
or to defend the election law.

can only be seen for two or three
hours during tbe day. J. W. Boode,
who owns a. large number of the
smoking peaks, was here yesterday,
and gave tbe information that a
still larger number of the knobs are
smoking this year, and Watch

Asheville Gazette ! I
On another page of the Gazette to I
lay appears an article from tbe Bal-1
eigh Populist newspaper, the '. Can-1
latian," which rtfers to a feature of
the caucus action on the Simmons!
constitutional amendment in leg-
isl&turM, which has been alluded tc
n tbe Uiztte on several occasions.
The caucuses at which the amend-1 a
ment was considered previous to tbe I
legislature acting upon tbe measurt I
were held behind closed doors. They
wtre not coiiuaed, however, to tm
Democratic members of the legisla
ture, but Chairman Simmons, and we
believe some other leading lights id
the last campaign, were admitted to
tbe councils. o move was made
except with Mr. Simmons' approval
nd endorsement. The amendment.
like the election law, we believe w
are right in saying, was considered
iu these caucuses almr st solely as a
politico! party, campaign measure.
The interests of the men seeking po
litical advantage, those in fact who
were availing themselves of the pow
er gained by their 'having secured
cjiilrol of the legislature, to estab
lish a political machine ihat should
bd permanent, beyond assault from
L'Ut'lic eeutiment in tne fctate, were

tore, and we repeat it now, the poli
ticians who concocted the amend
ment disfranchising device cared no
more fur the white illiterate voters
than they did for the negroes, and

How Outsiders Regard it.
Editor Caucasian.
The following editorial extract is
taken from the Norfolk Va. Land
mark of Ojt. 21st:
We do not like this thing of con
necting a man's ancestry . with his
vote. It is indefensible discrimina-
ion, it seems to us for the State to
say to John Smith, "You cannot vote
because you cannot read or write ana
nave no property,"and then to turn
around to James White and sav.
'You cannot read and write and yov
oave no property, but you can vote
bcaus your grandfather was a C n-
: derate soldier." That sort of thing
s wrorg, whether it be done in L u
iina, in North Carolina, in Virgin
or in the moon. What we advo
ata is an Kltert anve educational
aad property qualification, rieidlv

who are fearless and bold enough to
attack the amendment and expose
its infamous and damnable features.
But' Democratic papers outside of
his State, and leading Democrats
too, such as Senators Caffcrey and
McEuery of Lcuisana have not hesi
tated to express their hostility to
such an amendment as is proposed
for adoption in this State.
Both of tbe Louisiana Senators,
say that the grandfather clause is
unconstitutional and urged the Legi
plature of their state not to adopt it.
It is in order now, for the editor
of the News and Observer to draw
binreelf up in "magnificently stern
battle array" and go to war on the
Democratic Senators from Louisiana

is unconstitutional, and he should

drubbing for expressing the senti
ment quoted above. He should
not neglect to give some of his abuse
also to Capt. Ptton and Mr. Luther
of Asheville and ex-Mayor Frnk
Nash of Hillsboro for opposing the
amendment. These are his demo
cratic brethren also.
