Glenn will probably oppose the move to create an office for public Speaker. If Bryan la elected those negroes who shot up Brownsville will expect a job right away. The Democrats In Rockingham County are very busy fighting among themselves. Guess Bryan is glad that Watson and Graves have locked horns, so as to give him a rest. If Kitchln was a dangerous man before the Charlotte convention isn't he dangerous now? Mr. Gompers says It is a "lie." That he never promised to deliver the labor vote to the Democratic party. The Democrats will elect Bryan very day from now until the Na tional election, and then the Repub licans will elect Taft. A Denver man has been fasting tor sixty days. He must think that the Democrats will win this year and is preparing himself for hard tinier. The Democratic Commissioners of been indicted Dunlin County have for neglect of duty. How Is that under "Democratic Good Govern nien'."? The public has not heard much from Mr. Bryan for the past few days. He has been too busy work ing on a reply to Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance.

Each claims that the other bdongs to a one-man party. The Greensboro Record (Dem ocratic) says that the Democratic party down here formerly made a practice of buying negro votes. But they couldn't buy them all and that is probably why they disfranchised them.

While Bryan is trying to capture the negro vote in the North the Demo - rratic toners nf Maryland are pre- . . - uaT, ir, n,9t paring to disfranchise them in tnat 6 State. The Populist chairman has asked for a joint debate between Bryan and Tom Watson, but Bryan is not favorably impressed with the idea.

Mr. Bry- an began the play or practical poll- tics Saturday. He summoned to Fairview Don C. Farnsworth, Chicago banker, who has a weakness for the political game and asked him to undertake the task of organ- 6&aa Izing the negroes of the North against Mr. Taft and for the Demo- cratic ticket. "Farnsworth was recommended by a number of Democrats as an organ- izer wno can organize ana wno nas peculiar facilities for reaching the negro voters. He came here direct from a conference in the West with James, oi KentucKy; cuayton ana Hefiln, of Alabama, and other lead- era, who are his sponsors.

Glenn a Great Dis appointment at lenver They Howled Him Down Noise and Gyrating Alone Will Not Hold the Attention of a National Conven tion. Special to the Caucasian: Washington, D. C, Aug. 4, 1908. A prominent Republican who Is here on his way back from Hot Springs, where he went to have an interview with Judge Taft, is enthu siastic over what he considers the sure prospects of Republican success this fall. He says Mr. Taft is more than de lighted with the large number of letters which he has received from Democrats in the South, especially from the border States, including North Carolina, Tennessee, and Ken tucky, and also a number from Geor- gia and Virginia, saying that they voted for Bryan twice, but that they XMjl 11 T1 O f H 1 f OO'lill OTIS?

There is, however, one element of . .. . .. . uncertainty in tne situation, ana tnat is, the possibility that the great rail- road and industrial interests who do not want any legislation, but who wish to escape corrective legislative, in short, who want to be let alone, may decide that the surest way to Im . . o De let aione ior iour years is to throw their powerful strength to Bryan, knowing that with a deadlock I hplWAAn the President and either or I. - ... .. Dotn .nouses or congress tnat noth- i mi kq These Interests know that if Taft hs elected that the Roosevelt policies will be carried forward and that there will be much more corrective and reformative legislation to se cure a square deal. This is what these interests do not want, and it would not he strange if they should, ff the circumstances prefer the yieaaurc iu naving tne country to repudiate Kooseveit s administration, and thus apparently repudiate his policies. Why Are Federal Ofiices a Weakness A prominent Republican from North Carolina, who is here to-day, and wno believes that with wise leadership and with a high-class ticket the State can be carried Re- apubiican, made some timely obser- I vations. He said that he had fre- q heard it aid , the gtate uij u We now naa a uemocratlC , x . am a 1 a administration, and there was no Re- nublican Datronase machine to stand in the way there would be no doubt about Republican success in North Carolina this year He asked, Why sbould a party witn all the Federal offices be weaker than when without them? The answer is, the party is ln the control of a patronage ma- chine. Remarkable object for Remarkable Object lson.for 0ucces. He observed further that thought- ful Republicans who desired to win, publican organization and the Na- tional Democratic organization in their methods of organizing a vig- orous campaign for success. He pointed out that the Republican National Committee took nearly a I month after the 'Mational flonvontton - I adjourned in conferences with Taft I and Sherman to select the national a I campaign manager.

He said if there was not wisdom in such a course, then the National Republican committee and the Na tional Democratic committee and the State Democratic committee had wasted a great deal of unnecessary time, trouble and expns in select ing their campaign manager. Gov. Glenn a Diafiointment at Ienver. A newspaper man, who was at the Denver Convention, asked a few days since how and where Gov. Gleeu got the reputation of being an orator. He said that Bryan must have been led to believe that he was an orator, and that many other people had heard of his reputation from the North Carolina papers, but that there was no evidence of it at Denver when he arose to second Bryan's nomina tion. He said that Glenn's speech was not only a great disappointment but that the Convention soon tired of him and howled him down. Commenting upon this Instance, that party remarked that the waving of arms and the making of a noise alone would not satisfy a national convention, but that a man had to say something to be given attention.
