HOW COL. DOCKEKY STANDS.
Last Saturday at Wadesboro Col
O. II. Dockery said: "I am a free
silver Republican and will vote for
and advocate tbo election of Bryan
and Watson, and will also vote for
and advocate the oloction of Maj.
W. A. Guthrie, for governor." He
further more said: "The Republi
cans may keep my name on their
ticket but it will bo a late day when
I tell them I will accept the indors
ment at their bands for Lieutenant
governor." So it is plain about Col
Dockery'fl Btand with the Republi
can party. He is out and out for
Bryan and Watson and bitterly
again, t McKinley and ail that
smells of gold. Col. Dockery is a
man of force. He can break into
the Republican ranks like no other
man can do. ila can carry more
negro votes than any man - in the
State. On the stump he is a persua
sive orator. His friends stand by
him through thick and thin.. But
Mr. Dockery 's course means a great
lotas to the Republican forces in the
State, especially in this congression
ai district, it tears a way many
votes. It gives to tho Populists
many negro votes that no body
else could control. This new
strength addod to the populist par
ty will not make it invincible by a
long shot. Now is the time for the
Democrats to get in their good and
effective work.
HENRY IS INELIGIBLE.
The following appeared in this
morning's Observer:
The Hon. Walter Raleifrh Henrv
having been a lawver of seventeen
years' practice at the bar of North
Carolina, should have informed the
I'opuwst convention which nomi
nated him by acclamation yester
day for the State'Sonate, that under
the constitution of the State he was
ineligible to election. Article
section 7, of tho constitution
North Carolina, reads as follows:
of
"Each member of the Senate shall
not De less than twenty five years of
age, snail have resided in the State
as a citizen two years, and bhall
have usually resided in the district
for which he is chosen for ono year
immediately preceding his election.
Now, Mr. Henry will not have re
j i ...
eiaea in this district tor one year
preceding his election (?) and thoie
lore he can't tko his seat in the
Senate, if by any remote possibil
ity he bo elected. So that ho will
have to "eye" the "ladies in the ?aN
lery'' from behind the railing in the
loony, iiut what is the "constitu
tion among friends?" Setlux.
We do not know who Mr. Set-Lux
-is, but from the looks of the word
Sit Lux, it means "sit light" So
we say. For heaven's sake don't
object. Give Walter Raleigh Hen
ry a chance. If he is to come down
for Senate he may give Constable
McCord a race for constable in this
township. Pray, deliver us! But,
if he is ineligible for the place, let
him go it, do not object. That will
take him from the city several
months campaigning. But Dear
Sit-Lux do not frighten the ladies of
Raleigh by threatening' to make
Henry look at them through a crack
in. the railing. Elect him to the
Senate in preference. Mr. Dowd, I
know could avert such a n&lamitv
upoVjJ&dies of the galleries.'

OUR PAW CREEK POPULISTS.
We have no quarrel with our
Paw Creek Populists, we liko tbera
all right. We think they are clever
good fellows. We recognkse in thtm
the qualities of men with good hard,
common sense, but we do not un
derstand their little resolution cf- I
fered in the coumy Populist con
vention Tuesday. It reads thus,,
toward tho last: "Wo declare our
purpose to protect and defend, the
platform as enunciated at tho St.
Louis convention, and that, wo will
not support in the coming election
for office in the county, or elsewhere,
any candidate who will vote either
for McKinley, or Sawall." That is
a queer resolution indeed. But
nothing is 6traoge these times. Here
we read that they will not support
any man for office who will vote
either for McKinley, or Sewall
About Mr. Sewall we puss over.
But about tho man who will vote
for McKinley. Some timo ago we
heard that J. W. Mullen, of Hun
torsville, will be the man put up by
tho Republicans for sheriff. Now
we feel sure that Mr. Mullen, from
what we know of him, will vote for
McKinley. He is a McKinley man
if we mistake not. It bo is nomina
ted by the Republicans to fill the
place left open by the Populists,-for
sheriff, do we understand that ho
will bo cut by the Populists of Paw
Creek. We aro in tho dark and
would liko some liht on the sub
ject. This fusion business for prin
ciple and nothing more is hard to
uuder-stand.
DOCKERY KICKS CLEAR OUT.
HE FLIES THE TRACK AND GOES
FOR BRYAN AND WATSON.
Republicans in a Quandary All
Looks Dark Now The Democrat
ic Feeiing.
Raleigh, August 31. The polit
ical event of the past week is the dec
laration by Oliver H. Dockery
against McKinley and Russell and in
favor of 'Bryan. A great number of
Republicans declaro Dockery must
now bo taken eff their ticket.
Capt. Bill Day believes the re-suit
will bo that all the Populists will bo
stricken off the Republican ticket.
Ex-.Congre8sm.an John Nickols says
that if there is to be complet e State
fusion of Populists and Republicans
each side must take the other's man
without question or demur, and iu
this view Secretary Ilyams of the
Republican State committee seems
to concur, for he says the Populists
put up Dockery as their man. But
something is bound to happen.
Thero are thousands of Republicans
who now swear they will not vote
for Dockery, and any assumption of
carelessness regarding his position
or declarations is all feigned. By
most Republicans hero he hearti
ly cursed, denouncod and reviled.
The Populist committee will al
most certainly meet in a few days.
It, will have to pass upon tho Zeb
Vance Walter question. The re
publicans want the populists to hurs
ry about this roa'ter. Walsor as
sumesan air of entire carelessness1,
as if to say ho is tho nominee al
ready of the winning party and
doesn't care what the populists do.
But, aM the same, tLe republicans
are urgent for the completion cf
State fusion.
And while they are thus urgent
on one side there aro some Demo
crats who are desirous to presa the
the question of electoral fusion and
have the Populists say just what
they will do. What thee Demo
crats desire is a simple division of
electors. But Guthrie, the Populist
leader, appears to lay down the Pop
ulist ultimatum when he says tho
price to be paid for Populist-Demo
cratic electoral fueion is the taking
down of Sowail, so fur as North
Carolina is concerned. Will the
Democrats pay tho price? 13 the
question. Thousands of them are
answering no; that they. will never
lower their party colois to Populists
or any other party. Still Guthrie
feels sure that this very thing will
be brought about. Tho attempted
deals with Populists have enormous
ly increased Democratic dissaiisfuc-i
tion. The experiment has been a
dangerous one. So far it has failed.
And it, really does not seem that the
party indorses its committee. Dem
ocrats never have been driven, and
they have not changed their habits
this year. Secretary of State Cooke
assures me that the sentiment for a
a straight fight is powerful.
Very little is said in the papers
about one of the brightest and best
of the Democratic campaign speak
ers Capt. ThoB. W. Mason. Ho is
by many pronounced the very best
man in the fit Id.
Politics has absorbed everything
here at the centre. The Democrats
and Republicans are sending out a
great many documents, etc., from
their respective headquarters. The
Populists seem to be sending none
out so far. Senator Butler says tho
Populists do not need literature this
year; that they are thoroughly in
formed as to tho silver question. Ho
declares he does not say this in a
boasting spirit, as for four years he
has been sending out such literature,
until the rural Populist is niado far
more than a match tor the town
man. Ex-Democratic Siale Chair
man Simmons in great measure cons
firms this by the statement that t he
country people are majiy times bet
ter informed on the currency ques
tion than the town people, because
they read, and because they have
had so much information sent them.
The fall term of tho Agricultural"
and Mechanical College begins this
weeK ana a muca larger attendance
is expected. Last term the attend
ance was 6mall; far too small in fact.
The State weather bureau is to
have its headquarters in the U. S.
building here and in future will do
its own printing, cf maps and re
ports. This is under the new law,
which disassociates it from the State
agricultural department.
Abe appointment under the new
law of registrars and judge of elec
tion has entailed an enormous
amount of clerical woik upon ali
three of the political parties, and it
has required a great effort to get the
vast number of names ready to be
in the hands of of the clerks of court
by Sept. 7, the date fixed by the
law.
There will bo five days of rtgiHtra-tion-sSept.
26, Oct. 3, 10, 17 and 31,
October the 24th being challenge
day. There can be no challenging
after that day, and some Democrats
say this leaves the door open tor
frauds. Xo challenging is permit
ted on election day. JSo one can
register that day save such as come
of age at the time. Thero will bo
iwo ballots, both long ones, are com
taining 14 names, the other 22, These
may be on paper of any color and
with any device and may bo partly
printed ai d partly written.
Republicans claim the new law
will cause the counting of 25,000 ne
gro votes which novel were before
counted.
How many sound money Demo
crats are there iu .North Carolina?
W. C. Douglas, eieeior-at-large,
bays 6000; while W. E. Ashley, one
of thta, eays at least 20,000. Very
few will vote for McKinley; most
wiil not vote at all for tho naiioLal
ticket.

and Senator Butler appear to agreo
"that.tha silver parties will get to-

Not an inch.
The Democrats want to do their
work in the towns this year. This
is another proof cf Butler'a state
ment as to the great information
of country peop'e.
Some of the filvcr Democrats my

The Republican plan is that their
speakers shaii not divide time with
any other. It is so with Russell;
it is so with Pat. Massey, their
nominee for Congress in thj dis
trict.

this congressional district, declares

GOLD IN TII3 DECORATIONS.
For their gratification tho com
mittee which has had charge of the
decorations has thrown a gold tinge
over everything.
Indianapolis just
now is a yellow city. If tho hotels
were to display swinging sign boards
like the olti English inns, they would
read: "At the sign of the small pox."
At the Bates Il-mse there are yards
and yardi ofyellow buntiisg suspen
ded around the b.ilconies of the lob
by. It is broken hero and there
with bunches of flags, and gay fes
toons of the national colors, the
centre piece of which is an oil paint
ing oi some Democratic hero. There
are pictures ot Cleveland, Tiiden,
Hancock, Jefferson, Jackson and
others. Besides this, the walls are
decorated with American sbieldp,
arouiid -which are tastefully grouped
the national colors. Although the
national colors aro prominently dis
played, the yellow bunting has the
most prominent place.
The same is truo of the lobby of
the Dcnnisou. The capitals of the
pillars aro gilded, and the pillars
themselves are draped with heavy
bunting. Here and there and on
the walls are groups of American
flags, and from the pillars others
are suspended. Between tho pillars
hang strips of yellow bunting.
Gilded ornaments aro taekod against
tho walls and support iitllo placards
bearing the names of d'stinguished
Democrats. Aias, however, for the
fame of those who have departed.

W. J. Bryan was a great
of the lamented Senator
,On February 23, 1895, tho
House 01 .epreentatives having
under coiisidei aiion the resolutions
of respect to the lato Senator, Mr.
Bryan, who was a member of Cons
gress at that time, paid a beautiful
tribute to North Carolina's beloved
Senator. After speaking or Senator
Vance's leadership and wisdom, Mr.
Bryan said :
"He had more than wisdom and
courage; he had that without
which wisdom and courage would
have been of no avail. It' was no
stopping down to some one beueath
him. He really beiioved in the
equality of men, and that those
among whom ho associated were
his brethern. He shared their hopes,
their aims and their ambitions. He
felt th eir woes and knew their joys.
He was one of them because ihey
knew that he loved them. They
trusted him because they, knew
tuat he trusted them. Anil in
building upon the affections of tho
people he built upon the only sure
foundation."
Mr. Bryan has ever proven him
self to be just such a man. He loves
the people of all classes, and especi
ally the poor toiling masses, being
a poor man himself. He has ever
championed the cause ot the masses.
and snould the people by their bal
lots place him in the highest ofnnft
within the gift of the American
poople, he wili never betray . the
trust. Mr. Bryan will be to the
people of the United Stated what
Senator Vance was to the people of
North Carolina.

The Workingtnan's Vote.
Washington Post.
Attempts by corporations, firms,
or individuals to influeLce tho votes
cf nen in their employ are almost
invariably resenttd. No matter
how cautious the proceeding may
be, or how much care may be taken
to avoid any appearance oi dicta
tion or unwarranted inteilereijoe in
a personal and private affair, the
average wage-worker dislikes any
attempt ou his employers part to
show him how ho ousrbth to dis
charge his political duty. He boids
that, as voters, all citizens who have
the right of suffrage stand on an
equal plane. Ho knows that his
ballot will count lor just as much as
that of the man for whon he works
He feels a natural and just pride in
the fact that his vote will go just
an lar as that oi the imllionair in
deciding who ehall or who 6hali not
be elected to this, that, or the other
office, or what policies shall or ehall
not be eudorsed. He understands
that the wages which be receives
give his employer the riht to his
work in factory, mine. mill, or
whatever occupation he follow?;
that it is his duty to do his work
well. But bis obligation ends thero.
He will brook no meddling with
his vote by tho man or men by
whom ho is hired, for tno reason
that he regards such interference as
equivalent to asserting a claim o
his vote as a lured man Tho most
cultivated gentleman in what we
call ''the best society" is not more
sensitive in any matter touching his
bonjr than his butler is in regard to
his ballot, ihe most refined lady
is scarcely moro indignant when an
insolent dude is gu lty of unpardon
able, rudeness tbitn is tho respect
auie worKittgman, be he ever so
poor iu purse, when hi employer
attempts to control bis political ac
tion.
It may be that this sensitiveness
is carried too far in many cases. It
may be that honorable and kindly
intended efforts to influence opin
ions aro construed into insultc. It
is possible that t fforta dictated by
public spirit anu patriotism are set
down to the credit of seifihuess
But bettor so than the opposite ex
treme. Better the pride of wae
earner that prompts his resentment
than the fawning, cringing spirit
that " would place tho vote of the
worker at the disposal of his mas
ter. The equality that is begotten
of manhood suffrage tho fact no
man is bigger than his ccachman or
valet at the ballot box is one oi
the best factors in American life.
One reason for the extreme sensi
tiveness of the w."g earners in re
lation to their votes and a very
potential reason is tnat in years
past, before the improved dec ion
metnoas were auoptea, many em
ployers compelled their workmen
to vote as tbey dictated. It is tiuo
that the men were not the property
of those for whom they labored.
They could have had their own
way, but it would have cost them
their positions. A duchargo in
November is a heavy penalty for a
poor man with a family to incur.
The Australian ballot h:is happily
relegated this species of slavery to
the past tense in most of tb States.
There is a corporation at Easton,

The Williams Case.
The case of Fine Clark Williams,
of the District Police Depart merit,'
recalls a'raeiancholy incident that
occured in one of the Eastern States
a year or two ago. A highly es
teemed clergyman, big-brained and
large-hearted, became so deeply in
terested in foreign missions that
he gave all his time and thought to
the work of arousing interest in the
forlorn conaitiou
dwellers in far off heathen land.l
He preached, prayed.- wrote, talked

son, of and for those objesta of lis
boundless solicitude. I bis own
polpit andin many others, in hi
own and other denominations, the
good man wrought incessantly and
with great resulis, for the hearts ot
the people were touched by h a elo
quent appeals, and they gave abun
dantly to swell the mission tund.
Meanwhile this good and gifted man
was utterly unmindful ot the moat
important of all his obligations, lie
was a widower and a father, the la
ther of one child, a bright and
promising boy. But while the pa
rent was reaching out his arms to
tho children in Africa, in India, in
China, and tho isles of the oceans,
his own and only son was practically
forgotten. The boy grew up to
young manhood with an education
chiefly derived from bad books and
evil associtions, aud it naturally
enough happened that he landed in
the penitentiary.
