Simmons For Senator.
HIS CLAIMS STRONGLY PRESENTED IN SIX
SEPARATE REASONS.
"There are Other" That Might be
tiiven but These Suffice for the
Present Thinks "Countryman" He
Has Been Faithful, He is Able, He is
Clean, He is Generous, Though Not
a Rich Man.
OJreensboro Telegram )
Will you allow a plain citizen to
oiler a few reasons why, in my judg
ment, Hon. V. M. Simmons shoufd
succeed the Hon. Marion Hutler iu
the Senate of the United Stales?
1st. He has been faithful. Twice
he has had the burden of the cam
paign resting on his shoulders. He
bared his bosom to the storm. He
faced without flinching the most bit
ter and relentless persecutions. He
endured the contradiction of sinners.
M my men would have quailed under
the cyclone of traduction: but he
opened not his mouth and went
calmly on with his great work. For
the sake of his State and his people
he suffered the vilest torrent of abuse
that was ever heaped upon the head
of a gentleman. And he conquered.
No man was ever more faithful. Is
it not worthy of acceptation in North
Carolina that the horse that pulls the
plow deserves the fodder?
2nd. He is able. Some have doubt
ed that this man will lie able to hold
his own in the Senate. Why, I do
not know. Such men may be honest,
but. they must be blind. Barring
Aycock, there was not a stronger
s (icaker in the last campaign than F.
M. Simmons. He is a man of scholar
ship ami r jf culture, and withal, of
line social qualities. In mental vigor
110 man yet mentioned for the exalted
O
place to winch he aspires is his su
ie-
rior.
;ird. He Is generous. He gave
freely of his money as well as his
time to the last campaign. No man
in all North Carolina, in proportion
to his ability, gave more actual cash
to advance our cans;. I sincerely
doubt whether any other gave so
much. I learn that his campaign
contributions aggregated two thou
sand dollars.
1th. He is clean. I have heard a
good deal of sneering at the idea of
sending a "politician1' to the Senate.
Then who. pray, will we send? It
docs not lie in our mouths to talk
atioui "snori-cuis in politics. It a
man is lit to plan and conduct a cam
paign in a great State, and outline
the policy to be pursued, he is cer
tainly lit to represent it iu our high
est legislative body. Will we follow
him in one dace and repudiate him
in another? Are we hypocrites? That
argument falls to the ground unless
we want to brand ourselves. But the
truth is, Mr. Simmons made an open,
manly light all the wav through, and
unhorsed his opponents by his match
less skill. He was simply too much
for the enemy. That is all. I have
never heard his character assailed.
He is sober, honest and capable. Ho
loves his State with passionate devo
tion. He is not a Roman Catholic, as
some have alleged.
5th. He is poor. He is not able to
'dispense hospitality" in Washing
ton. Thank the Lord this is true,
anil it is one great reason why I want
to see him go there. We are having
a little too much hospitality dis
pensed already. Our Senators aie
becoming a little too lordly. Mr.
Simmons can lind plenty to do with
out spending his time fattening rich
fools. Yes, he is poor, and we helped
to make him poor. He borrowed
money on his private properly, I am
told, to help defray the expenses of
the campaign. Hut. fellow citizens,
shall we cast him aside because of his
poverty? Will as shameless an argu
ment as this lind acceptance in North
Carolina? I trow not.
6th. The Republicans and Popu
lists are praying night and day for
anybody on earth except Simmons.
And if the other live reasons are
worthless this last is reason enough
for me to stand bv Simmons.
COUNTRYMAN.
You aud I know that when this
carthlv tabernacle is dissolved there
will be a new body for us, because our
Lord Jesus Christ has risen from the
dead. No matter of history is any
thing like so well attested as the fact
that our Lord was crucified, dead and
buried, and that He did upon the
third dav rise from the dead. This I
unhesitatingly accept as a fact, and

it becomes my ancnoiage. c. it.

responded nobly to the call. He re- '
deemed the State from Republican ;

I am not prepared to believe now
that North Carolina will repudiate
him. True to all her great leaders of
the past, she will be true to her able j
and fearless leader, Hon. F. M. Sim-;

ATLANTA'S VETERANS ON
HISTORIES.
SOUTHERN
Reply to
Resolutions
Army.
of the Grand
Atlauta Camp 159, United Confed
erate Veterans, at its last meeting
adopted a resolution couched in
strong language, taking exception to
a resolution passed at the recent en
campment at Chicago of the C A. R.,
relative to Southern school histories.
It was held by the G. A. R. resolution
that many of the histories used by
Southern school children gave a par
tisan view of the historical facts of
the Civil War. After giving briefly
several incidents of the war the reso
lution adoptetl by the Atlanta camp
concludes:
"In the language of the resolutions
of the (irand Army, yve of the South
also call upon all patriotic citizens 'to
aid in banishing from our schools all
books and teachings of a partisan,
sectional or disloyal character,' but
we remind our fellow citizens of the
Grand Army of the Republic that so
long as the Northern schools are sup
plied with books that toach that 'the
war between the States' was 'organ
ized rebellion,1 designed to destroy
the Union; that Jefferson Davis was
the arch traitor (while John Brown
was a hero and maniyr), that Robert
E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnson and
Stonewall Jackson were guilty of
treason, that Semmes, Tatnall, Bu
chanan and Waddell were wicked
pirates and the Southern armies were
bands of rebels, the adoption of these
resolutions by the (irand Army of the
Republic is buc a hollow farce.
"The resolutions themselves teem
with party anger and misrepresenta
tion. Whenever the unfair partisan
books of the North are corrected and
all evidences of hatred to the South
eliminated therefrom, it will then be
time enough for our (irand Army
friends to call for reform in the mat
ter of Southern histories."

SHAKESPEAREAN PARTS.

The longest part in any Shakespeare
an play is Hamlet, who is before the

n constant talker, and it is surprising
that in the circumstances he says so
many wise things. He has to his share
1,560 lines. Richard III is another long j
part, as the character speaks 1,161 1
lines, and next comes Iago, with 1,117 j
lines. Henry V has 1,063 lines. I
-One would suppose from seeing the
representation or from looking over the j
play that Othello had more lines than j
Iago. but it is not the case, for the val- j
hint Moor has only SSS lines. Coriola-1

Mis Formal Announcement of Can

( 1 kicks vili.e, N.C., Sept. lit, l'JOO
To (he Democratic Prcsx and People:
I have so long enjoyed the courtesy
aud kindness of the Democratic press
of the State that I confidently ask the
use of its columns for a word with
the Democratic voters. I shall pub
lish this letter in my home paper and
respectfully and earnestly request
all Democratic naners to irive it to
their readers. I am so confident they
will do me this favor, no matter
win uo me tins tavor, no
whom they prefer, that I beg to thank
them in advance.
0 the 4th of Marchf 11)(Jlf some
Democrat will take his seat as the
I Senator from North Carolina, in the
i greatest deliberative body on earth.
Wlw, l.u l. :r..
say. it is
It is the first time in the history
of our party, in this State, yvhen you
have had the opportunity of deter
mining such a question by a direct
vote, at a primary election, held for
that purpose. For one I believe in
this method of indicating our party's
choice for Senator; and I trust this
primary, in all its phases, will be
conducted in a manner so fair and
honorable as to be free from com
plaint and above criticism; and that
the system will commend itself to all
fair minded Democrats who believe
iu the rule of the people. I feel a
special interest in the success of this
system because. I belieye 1 was the
lirst man in the State to publicly
advocate it. Since then it has grown
in popular favor, "till at the last State
convention of the party, it was adopt
ed and ordered to be held. I there
fore beg modestly to say that 1 would
be glad to be the first Senator chosen
by this method, and I hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for that
high honor.
In making this announcement I am
aware that I am aspiring to a high
and responsible position. A Senator
is not only charged with the duty of
taking part in the discussions "and
determination of great questions of
national importance, but he is a part
of the treaty making power, and upon
his action may depend important
events in our foreign relations. There
are but few fields which open up so
great opportunities for labor, useful
ness aud honor, as the Senate of the
United States. I trust I properly ap
preciate the dignity and importance
of the position I am seekiug.
I am also aware that it has been
the policy of our State to choose her
most experienced and best equipped
men for this high position and these
grave duties. The fact that these
men had already held high offices
was not a hindrance but a help to
their selection. From this class of
her distinguished citizens our State
has chosen men who became great
Senators anil whose names we love to
revere, and whose services are a part
of our country's history. While I
cannot hope to reach the eminence
held by them I shall constantly en
deavor, if chosen, to attain a position
creditable to myself and honorable to
my State. And ma' I not point to
my brief service in the Senate as an
earnest of my constant effort to serve
my State and her people faithfully
and well.
I some times hear it said that I
have already had the party's support,
and the people's honors to a remark
able degree, and that I ought to re
tire to private life. 1 acknowledge
with feelings of the profouudest grat
itude that I have been greatly honor
ed, but I atlirm that I have tried to
be true and faithful to the public in
terests in every trust that has been
confided to me. While the fact that
I have held these positions is being
urged as a reason why I have had all
I deserve, may it not be said in my
behalf that the training and experi
ence I gained in them have only the
better qualified me to discharge the
grave duties which devolve upon a
Senator.
I also hear it said that this is the
day of young Democracy. I do not
understand by this that the day has
come in the history of our party when
The
the GOLD DU
sN ,
-A' V- " m-
The N. K. Fairbank Company, c-fl,;ew York-Bostor-
the doors of honorable reward is to be
closed to those who have been faith
ful and true in storm and in sunshine
and who have fought its battles in
the days of its adversity and defeat
as well as in the days of its prosper
ity and victory. While the Demo
cratic party always has and always
will tittinglv reward its voting men,
it never has and never will, in my
judgment, close its doors to its faith
ful veterans. The young worker of
to-day will be the veteran of to-morrow
aud the party will, in the plenti
tude of its opportunities, do justice
to both and fittingly reward each.
If, therefore, I have ceased to belong
to the young Democracy and have be
come one of the party's veterans. I
do not believe that a generous aud
just people will allow me to be cast
aside on that account.
If this coveted prize is to be the re
ward of party service theu I may, I
believe, ask to lie allowed to enter the
race. Tor more than a third of a cen
tury I have been iu the thickest of
our party's battles, and the several
campaigns from 165 to 1900 will
testify to the fact that I have worked
as hard for party success yvhen I was
not a candidate as when I was. In
deed, only twice have I been the
nominee of the party in the State at
large for oilice, once in '76 when I
was a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor
and in '80 I was a candidate for
Governor, but there has not been a
State campaign since '65 in which I
did not take an active part, and do
my full share of the work, except the
campaigns of '86 and 's8 when I was
out of the country. Rut, if the con
sideration of party service is to be
limited to the two last campaigns
theu I believe I can make a respect
aide showing without detracting from
the services of others. In these two
campaigns all did their duty, as it
was given to them, from our able and
faithful chairman down to the town
ship worker from the great dailies
to the teeming weeklies and no one
man has a monopoly of the victory
our party won in its heroic and deter
mined effort to establish and main
tain good government in North Caro
lina. I have not and shall not have one
word to say against the worthy gen
tlemen who are contesting for this
high honor. They have wrought yvell
for their party and their State; and
they deserve well of both. They
have a right to be candidates if they
desire, and I have no right to com
plain of them for it. We all have a
common enemy whose politics tend
to undermine and endanger the very
foundation of this Republic, aud
which, if not checked, will in time
convert it into nn oligarchy, if uot an
empire. I shall reserve all my criti
cisms and denunciations for this com
mon enemy the Republican party.
This is the only and last word I
shall have to say for myself. All the
time I can spare from the duties
upon which my daily support de
pends, will be given to speaking for
Rryan and Stevenson and our candi
dates for the House of Representa
tives. While I would be glad to be
chosen Senator, it is not the only
thing that gives me concern. I be
lieve that the triumph of our party in
November is essential to the welfare
of our country: and that the election
of Bryan and Stevenson will mean
the breakening of the tightening grip
of the trusts ami the setting free of
industries and individuals now en
dangered by them, and the bringing
back the administration of our gov
ernment to the safe moorings point
ed out by Washington and Jefferson.
I have no organization and I shall
not try to affect one. I shall semi
printed tickets to our county chair
men and request them to cause these
tickets to be placed, through their
various committees, as other tickets
are at the various precincts, conven
ient to the voters on the day of the
primary. This I am sure our county
chairmen and county and township
committees will cheerfully do, with
out any regard to their personal pre
ferences; and I beg to lender them
mv thanks for their services. Hav
ing done this the matter so far as I
am concerned is with the Democratic
voters. It is for them to say who
shall be Senator. While 1 shall hold
in grateful remembrance those who
may say a kind word for me or take
an interest, in any way. in my candi
dacy, I shall cherish no ill will to
wards those who may prefer another.
I am sincerely your obedient ser
vant, "THOS. J. JARVIS.

Service and the Ambulance Corps.
(Atlanta Journal.)
Hunter Holmes McGuire, who died
at his home uear Richmond, Va.,
Wednesday, was born at Winchester,
Va., October lltL, "135. He was the
son of Dr. Hugh Holmes McGuire, and
wife, Annie Eliza Moss, the family
being directly descended from Thomas
Mor McGuire. lord or prince of Fer
managh, Ireland (1400 to 143u).
His professional studies were begun
in the Winchester Medical college,
from which institution he received
his degree in 1855. In 1S56 he matri
culated iu both the University of
Pennsylvania and Jefferson Medical
college of Philadelphia, but was taken
ill and compelled to return home be
fore the end of the session. In 1857
he was elected professor of anatomy
in the Wiuchestor Medical college
where, after one year's service, feel
ing the need of greater clinical ad
vantages, he resigned his position
and relinquished a growing practice
to return to Philadelphia. The fol
lowing year he not only attended the
regular course of lectures in the Jef
ferson Medical college, but also estab
lished a quiz class, which was largely
patronized by medical students. In
FS59, in consequence of Jhon Brown's
raid into Virginia, Dr. McGuire was
the leader among the students to re
turn to Richmond.
Governor Henry A. Wise welcomed
them in a stirring speech. The Medi
cal college of Virginia matriculated
them without charge, and the city
council made an appropriation to re
imburse them for the expenses of the
trip. Dr. McGuire completed the ses
sion in Richmond, and iu March. 1860,
received the degree of doctor of medi
cine. He then went to New Orleans,
where he established another quiz
class, but after the seecesion of South
Carolina and other States he hastened
home to offer his services to Virginia.
He volunteered in company F. 20th
Virginia regiment, and April 17, 1861,
marched from Winchester to Harper's
Ferry.. He afterwards became medi
cal director of the army of the Shen
andoah under (Jen. T. J. (Stonewall)
Jackson, Gen. Joseph K. Johnston,
and again under Gen. Jackson of the

inaugurated the plan of releasing cap
tured medical officers. After the fight
at Winchester with Banks, eight Fed
eral officers were set free upon the
simple condition that they would en
deavor to procure the release of the
same number of Confederate surgeons,
and a few weeks after this ail the
medical officers who had been con
lined by both the Confederate and
Federal armies as prisoners of war
were released aud returned to their
respective commands. Although this
was interrupted by some disagree
ment between the commissioners for
the exchange of prisoners. Dr. Mc
Guire continued to release surgeons
whenever it was in his power.
Dr. McGuire was also the first to
organize the reserve corps hospital in
the Confederate service, and was the
originator of t he ambulance corps, a
system now universally adopted in all
armies.
Upon the death of General Jackson.
Ma, 1863, Dr. McGuire served as chief
surgeon of the Second corps of the
Army of Northern Virginia under
Lieutenant General R. S. Kwell, and
subsequently as medical director of
the Army of the Valley under General
J. A. Karl v. He was captured after
the battle near Waynesboro. Va., but
released under a parole of 15 days, and
after its expiration joined the Second
corps under General J. 15. Gordon and
remained as its medical director until
the surrender at Appomattox.
The war being over. Dr. McGuire in
November, 165, removed to Rich
mond, having been elected to till the
(hair of surgery in the Medical Col
loge of Virginia, made vacant by the
deat'i of Dr. Charles Bell Gib-oii. 'This
position he held until i78, when the
demands of an extensive practice com
pelled him to resign it: the college

McGuire established St. Luke's Home
for the sick, a private infirmary for
the accommonation of his surgical
cases, an institution which soon be

cessful private sanitariums in the
country. He was president and pro
fessor of clinical surgery in the Uni
versity College of Medicine. Rich
mond, Va., and president and one of
the surgeons to the Virginia hospital,

the College of Physicians of Philadel
phia, and of the Obstetrical society of

MR. SIMMONS' LETTER
Necessity Which Impelled Him to
Write it Much to be Regretted
Among Democrats.
(Asheville Citizen).
The Citizen regrets very much, not
that F. M. Simmons wrote his letter
to Mr. Allen, but the necessity which
impelled him to write it.
Mr. Simmons would be more than
a man, or much legs, if he had piiet-
that Mr. Allien assured him were be
ins; niade atraiust him in order to de
feat his nomination for United States
Senator.
The strength of Mr. Simmons' letter
lies in his manly conservatism. It is
no small provocation for a man who
has rendered the distinguished ser
vice to his State that Mr. Simmons
has to find his reputation being ma
ligned and his character assaulted,
and that apparently by those from
whom he had a right to expect at
least appreciation for invaluable work
done if not support for an honor to
which he aspired.
But for the service that K. M. Sim
mons rendered this State and the
Democratic party in 1898 and 1900,
there would not be a Democratic can
didate for United States Senator in
North Carolina today with 1 heshadow
of a chance of success.
Mr. Simmons, it would seem, has
sinned in aspiring to au honor that
his achievements aloue have made
possible.
There has been no little division of
opinion in the Democratic party in
the past as to the wisdom of hojding
a senatorial primary. There can be
but one opinion iu the future con
cerning this plan if the method in
dicated in Mr. Allen's letter are to be
practiced.
Any man in North Carolina h the
right to be a candidate for senator,
but neither good polities, good mor
als nor common fairness will allow
that one man's eharaeter should be
unjustly assailed in order that another
man may profit thereby.
The Citizen still adheres to the
opinion expressed some weeks ago.
that it would be a reflection upon
the sense of gratitude of the Demo
cracy of North Carolina to iay that it
will not gladly recognize tbe politi
cal claims ami personal worth of F.
M. Simmons bv electing him to anv
oilice he may ask at their hands.

Persons of romantic temperament
have discovered that the best place Id
