a merited tribute to the fraternal spirit

relations OF that State to Carolina.

demonstrations of applause. When

When the election of officers was

The members of the Democrat
National Committee are not blind
to what is going on in Chicago
or to the tactics of the enemy
On the contrary, it is reported
that the committee has collected
evidence in cases of intimidation
and in the course of short time
several large manufacturers and
merchants will be indicted for
attempting to control the votes
of their employees by means of
bulldozing. The exposures of
the men who are engaged in such

The campaign Mr.. Bryan is
making is remarkable for the
immense crowds of people who
turn out to hear him speak and
who gather at small railway sta
tons to grasp his hand and hear
short talk on the issues of the
political contest. In each instance
the audience he addresses are en-
thusiastic and composed largely
of farmers and workingmen. 1t
will not do for the Republicans
to say that the tremendous out
pourings of the people is the re-
suit of curiosity, because the en-
thusiasm he arouses and the
cheering of the multitudes show
quite plainly that the voters are
in sympathy with the principles
he represents and that there is a
great upheaval throughout the
country which can have but one
meaning and that is the voters
have cast off party ties and are
doing their own thinking instead
of following their old leaders as
they have done in the past. The
Republicans are welcome to all
the comfort they can extract
from the thought that curiosity
and nothing else accounts for the
armies of voters that have as
sembled to greet Bryan. but
Hanna and other leaders know
better. They know that cur
iosity does not prompt farmers
to travel miles in their farm
wagons to hear the Democratic
candidate speak. neither does it
make them cheer and shout until
they are hoarse, and crush each
other in their frenzy to shake
his hand. The truth is the pro-
ducing classes-the farmers, and
the thousands who toll in the
shops and mines, see in Bryan a
champion of their own interests
and this is why the people are
fiocking to hear him wherever he
goes. and this is the cause of the
ground swell of enthusiasm
which is being felt in all the
States of the West, middle West
and South, and which is begin
ming to roll through Pennsylvania
into the Eastern States. If
popular demonstrations, such as
have never before been witness
ed in political campaign in this
country. count for anything
Bryan is certainly gaining thous
ands of votes every day and viii

most sweeping majorities ever
given a candidate for the pres
idelcy.

AS for the "demoralizing procs
ess to the convicts themselves to
employ them in public places"
that is is only poor plea. It a
man by his lawless actions gets
himself into a position Of shame,
the State has No right to endea7~
or to keep him from it, under the
pretense OF humanity, And the
argument Of the peuoIogist that
the public at large would be
dem3ralized by the daily sight of
this human shame, is certainly
incomprehenslbIe. If those PEG
pie can be 80 easily turned from
the path ofright that they should

sympathy with the convict, it is
mgn time that they should be
set to work breaking rock with

We have had our say, and we
fully believe the only solution OF
the convict problem is to put him
to work on the roads and make
him stay there. A country
blessed with good macadamized
highways everywhere cannot ia il

CONVICTS ON ROADS.

The News is the recipient of
pamphlets on road matters by
the courtesy Of Hon. Foster V.
Brown. Among them is one en-
titled "NOtes on Convict Labor"
which is just exactly what We
have been wanting for some time
past.
We have always said that the
convict should b. emp Dyed up
on the public roads. and not IN
the production Of anything that
has to be sold to realize there-
from, aud we shall always stick
to that platform. But lis hithor"
to all arguments have been in
favor of that syslemr let us see
some Of the objections that are
raised against it.
The New York Prison Associ~
alton says chat such employ
ment OF convicts would as serio
ously interfere with labor out
side the prisons as any other
form of convict labor" If we
should concede that point, which
would be the greater evil, the EN-.
ployment of the convict on the
roads at "a cents a day expense,
or the robbing of the miner of a
$1.25 day as is now done? 0.
two evils it il natural to choose
the least, and that is all we want
admitted, They also say that
the State would incur a great ex-
pense in keepers, that escapes
would be frequent, and he death
rate would be greater owing to
the constant necessity of shoot
ing convicts that attempted to
escape. The Safe Of North Car.
DINA seems to have solved that
problem. Let those wiseacref
turn TO it's convict laws for ad.
vice and information. Prof. A
