which has been described as being six

He thinks that thorough discussion

SMALL PRIMARIES AND CONVEN
TIONS.

The Democrats have played their
last card, and lost. NJ mistake about
this. The old carcass may kick a little
longer and make more or less noise,
but 1t is dying. By using d;sinfectants
it may get some voters to venture UP
this fall, but they will be n~auseated.
Great scheme was that free coinage
splutter! Wei get the Populists
and the free coinage Republicans"
they said, and then they patted them
selves on the back. They even talked
about nominating a Populist for Presi-
dent. There was everything to gain,
much to loose, they lost. Like an cleo
trio shock the free coinage wave shot
over the country, The gold men we're
asked to take a back seat, and they
did in some States. "Wait until you
see us turn some tricks" said the
schemers. And they waited.
Now, as we see it, the D-mocrats
thought they had one chance in a
thousand to capture at least part of the
Populists. But we believe that the
great object was to pull together and
encourage the men who are hanging
back just waiting to see how the drop
will fall, But the plan failed. Since
the orders came out, we know not
where from, but they came, to start
the free silver cry, there has been no
enthusiasm kindled in the ranks of the
party that demonetized silver in 1898
and started the panic that has rent
business assunder for the benefit of
Wall street gamblers and English bond
buyers. All over the South the pri-
maries and county conventions have
been small affairs. The plan failed ut
terly.
Only a few days ago the Wake coun
ty convention was held. Five large
townships were not represented by
anything in the shape of a man. The
others had small delegations. Similar
reports come from other counties.
Many townships had no primaries at
all-no Democrats left. Here is the
news the Vestibule brings from Cabar-
rus county:
| so far as heard from there we're

present at the Dem. primaries in No.
township, 6, in No. 20, in No u
in No. 8-3, in No. 9 %, several town
ships yet to hear frOm."
Thus it seems that you can't fool al
the people all the time.
News from other States is of the
same kind. In the meantime the faces
of silver @ Democrats are growing
longer every day. They see the hand
writing on the wall. They see that the
voters are not paying any attention at
ell to their pretended devotion to the
white metal. In fact, by talking free
coinage now the Democrats are simply
strengthening the position of the Popu
lists, who they have SO heartily de.
nOunced all the while, and the voters
are looking to the P0puiiets for relief,
they being the only party that has
m intained a consistent position. The
fact that the Florida State Democr4t ic
convention declared for gold, has aid
ed in throwing a damper over the
schemers. Florida would not be drawn
into the deceptive plan and declared
for gold, just as all the other Southern
States would have done if they hadn'G
been trying to fool somebody. The
Democratic party is not committed to
gold by platform pledges, but by its
own administration in the past three
years, and it needn't try to practice or
preach anything else,

the world is growing better.

last year. That Is the way the panic
is subsiding.
Platforms are made to get in on. If
the Democrats insert a silver plank you
may know what that means. They are
for gold at heart, and their votes in
Congress is evidence enough.
There is nothing short about the Re
publican platform. Treat it like you
do long novels. See what it is about

see what became Of the handsome fel

Every man is known by the COM

Gratis in this State may hope to run
through on their popularity. That will
not work this year. They will be
weighed according to the company
they are keeping.
II the Democrats should get elected
next November, and we're they to pass
a free coinage bill, everybody, Demo
Gratis included, would be so surprised
that they would all drop dead in their
tracks, and there wouldn't be anything
but a bowling wilderness left to en- ~
the good times.
We often hear this question asked:
why do the gold Democrats cling to
the party if they fear that it will, if
elected. adopt free coinage7" The main
reason is that they have no such fear.
The Democratic party is simply a part
of the Wall street sideshoW. The Re-
publican party is the other half, and
gold Democrats make themselves at
home in either wing. They calculate
that it will take the Democratic party
a thousand and eighty years to reform,
so they are in no danger at all.
