A DANGEROUS STATE OF AFFAIRS,
We often hear substantial farm
ers, business and professional men
say that the future welfare of North
Carolina so far as political cond -tions
can . affect it, depends upon
whether or uot we have two strong,
awresne parties. One party
means political dryrot, decadence.
misrule, extravagance, arrogance,
high taxes and everything else ex
cept good government.
The alKjvc is substantially the
cousesus of the opinion of as good
Democrats as any iu the State, a?
well as that of leading Republicans
ami Independents. Of conise the
politicians are not saying so, for
gome of them on both sides may get
lost iu the scuffle. We are talking
about the best portion of our citi
zenship. You may rest assured that cer
tain Democratic politicans are very
well satisfied. They are in the
ring. The present election law,
while uot actually compelling dry
rot, is ingeuiously framed for the
purpose of bringing it about. Re
cent hard-fought town and city
elections have demonstrated ' that
lessthau half of the qualified white
voters took enough interest to vote
either way. This is a dangerous
state of affairs in a republic, and
matters will grow rapidly worse,
affecting both State and national
elections. To the average politi
cian this is as much of a snap as it
would be for officials of a bank to
Ro home and leave the vault un
locked aad leave the front door
open when robbers are around. So
much for the Democratic side of it.
We have heard from many sour
ces that certain Federal office-hold
er8 in the State (a few only) are
hiterly opposed to anything like
progressive or aggressive action. Is
U possible that they fear that they
"H not be able to get a job if
their party should become power
ful and aggressive with new Mood
"i its veins! There is no other ex
planation. It seems they are will
xn to act in harmony with certain
uemocralic Sfate savers and sacri-
flCe all the people in the State
har than take chances at office
in an aggressive party. We are al
a ls for words to nronerlv con-
'lemn Mich a selfish conspiracy and
i simply leave the nuestion t
the render. .
&ue one may ask what interest
ue Enterprise has iu all this, as it
,s not a party organ. Theeditor of
the Enterprise is a native ot North
Carolina. He desires good govern
,np"t ami a healthy state of affaiis
Mitic;rlly. H, could not be a oi -8an
t)r either party as m maged at
11 f-fi't, could not and would not
defend much that is going on in
both parties. This paper is not
afraid of politicians of either party
nor both of them, hence calls a
spade a spade.
The burning question is : How
much longer will the voters quietly
submit to this state of affairs ?
Raleigh Enterprise.
The above article from the En
terprise is too true in many re
spects for the good of our country.
There are reasons for it, and there
should be a remedy. In the first
place Democratic methods in the
South have so disgnested nianj' of
our people, that rather than toler
ate such intolerable conditions
many of the voters are staying at
home refusing to' take part in the
election. In Mississippi, South
Caroliua, and other Southern States
not one fifth of the voters go to the
polls. John Sharpe Williams, the
Democratic leader in Congress got
less than sixteen hundred votes out
of a voting population of about for
ty thousand; not as many votes
cast in his Congressional disrtict as
are cast in Davie count v. Onlv
last wetk a friend from an adjoin
iug Democratic county told us, that
lots of Democrats said they were
not going to the polls. Why?
They are disgusted wich their par
ty. .We regret that the Republican
party contains some of the same
kind of men, but are thankful that
they are not iu control. Davie has
a few such barnacles, but they will
be pushed aside in the onward
march.
GREAT IS DIANA OF THE EPOESIANS.
The Hornet has been wanting t j
say some tilings ior a long time,
One of these things we are going to
say right now and say it fraukly
and uon-deceitfully. It is that the
Hornet man has been, is now, and
always will be a "Bryan Demo
crat." What he means by being a
"Bryan Democrat" is that the
piiuciples of the Chicago and Kan
sas City platforms are ours pure
and simple. But it seems that
some of our political brethren have
not agreed with us all the while,
and now having secured sufficient
support they have dominated our
Convention to such an extent as
not to allow a complete affirmation
of the two past platforms. But we
are glad to know that the differ
ence is not so great as we had anti
cipated it to be. Therefore, after
carefully thinking the matter all
over, we are prepared to say from
our own stand-point that all is
well. Our candidate is all right.
More especially is our platform all
right, and if either should be the
stronger, it should be the latter on
which the former is to stand. We
reneat that all is well, ana our
platform and candidates should re
ceive the hearty support of all
A.
Democrats.
Whoever sticketh to his party,
whether right oi wrong, but al
ways the latter, is a Radical of the
good for nothing kind. ork
Church Hornet.
4 Just" lead the above two
paragraphs, and sec if you think a
Philadelphia lawyer could recon
ciletheconflicting statements taken
from the Fork Church Hornet.
The Editor is a 16 to 1 Bryan loi-
lower, and his party claims that
Mr. Bryan was completely squelch
ed and snowed under by the con
servative element. Now, if that
lie true, and his party has repudi
ated Bryan and Bryanisra, what
kind of a Radical is it that swal
lows the dose set before him in the
persons of Parker and Davis.
Our Democratic friends in some
parts, are quite wratby because the
Republicans contend that " sound
money is an issue. The Democrats
ignored the question in its plat
form, at Hill and Bryan's instance,
for the sake of harmony. Judge
Parker says its settled; yet he
twice voted for Mr. Bryan and 16
to 1, endorsing the last and only
Democratic platform utterances on
the money question. If they were
for sound money, why did they not
so say in their platform f
Cahhaln's question is pertinent.
On which side of the John Brown
war, at Harper's Ferry, was Mr.
II G Davis, the Democratic nom
inee for Vice-president ? Who can
answer it ?
SILVER SNAKE NOT SCOTCHED.
Intelligent voters should be care
ful lest they be led into believing
the contention of some of the East
ern Democrats that the Democratic
party is now in favor of the gold
standard. There is no room for
any misucderslandingon this ques
tion. Judge Parker bolted his
platform, which had .been adopted
by an overwhelming vote inSthe
convention, and the .partjT did. not
sustain him, but simply, in order
to extricate itself from a situation
that threatened a disruption of
the convention, notified him to go
ahead and hold the political post
mortem in his own way and make
whatever disposition of the corpse
hedeemed proper.
;: The masses of the Democratic or
eanization fully understand that
they were imposed upon by trick
ery and falsehood, to which they
submitted rather than renew a fight
which had already exhausted
them. The silver men are keenly
aware that they were buncoed at
the eleventh hour and robbed of
their just share of the fruits of the
convention by trickery and cunning
on the part of David B. Hid and
his lieutenants. ; The result is that
the party still has its meaningless
platform and Silver orators of the
West can point to the fact that the
platform ' does not declare against
their beliefs. .So far as the plat
form goes the Democratic party is
just as much of a free silver party
lo-day as it was when J. W. Bryan
led it to two defeats. If evidence
outside of the platform is needed to
show that the silver men are still
confident of controlling the partv
organization, W. J. Bryan has sup
plied that evidence. In a formal,
written statement, issued upon his
return to Lincoln from the St . Louis
convention, he said, "As soon as
the election is over I will, with the
help of those who believe as I do
(iu the free coinage of silver at 16
to 1), undertake to organize for the
campaign of 1908."
The silver snake has not been
scotched. It has hardly been
stunned.
READ THESE.
The Democratic party must not
be considered sane just because it
has escaped from its late keeper.
"The Democratic platform is fit
only for a dishonest party," said
Mr. Bryan. Well, it fits doesn't it.
The Republicans declared for
the gold-standard from conviction.
The Democrats omitted the money
plank from fear.
It is said that Judge Parker dear
ly loves to be out in a storm. He
will get his till of that when he is
caught in that blizzard November S.
The Democratic candidate for the
vice-president was a railroad man
for many years. The voters will tell
him where he got off in Novemoer.
A poet wants to know "How
Long Does Hope Last?" Well,
with a Democrat it last from Con
vention day until the night of the
election.
Voters would pay more attention
to Democratic promises for the fu
ture if they were not so closely
linked on the lips with apologies
for the past.
The St. Louis convention served
one purpose in showing that the
Democrats never accept Republi
can principles until they are about
eight years old.
Western Democrats assert that
they are not satisfied with the poli
tical character of their vice-presidential
nominee. His financial
character, however, is all right.
The Democrats who allowed
Judge Parker to write their money
plank should be fair and allow Mil
lionaire Davis to revise their trust
plank to suit his pleasure and his
interests.
"What makes you th ink we won ' t
elect the Democratic ticket?" shouts
Col. Watterson. We'll answer that,
Colonel, when you tell us first what
makes you think yon will, jf you
really think that way.
Or.e thing must be said in Judge
Parker's favor. He thiuks so well
of the Republican gold standard
policy that he has recommended it
to a party that he knows does not
believe in it and is not honest in
claiming to do so.
Particular attention is being
called to'the fact that Judge Parker
passes the contribution plate in
church every Sunday. When you
come to think of it, there are not
many Democrats who would be
trusted with that task.
